Christmas Accent Pillows

Accent pillows, occasional pillows, sometimes pillows, seasonal pillows, square pillows, round pillows, and the list goes on and on. Steve and I designed a whole bunch of pillows recently and I have finally gotten the front and back pictures of them.  The square pillows are 16" x 16" and the rectangle pillows are 12" x 16".





We did buy these designs, but it's up to us as to what we do with them and I have been having a blast playing with all of the beautiful patterns.  The retro designs are my favorites, but as I played around with the patterns I found I really started to enjoy the ones that weren't necessarily retro.




I made dishtowels out of nearly every one of these patterns, too, so if you like the pillows, you're going to like the towels, too.  The towels only have one pattern per towel though.




We had a hundred or more patterns to choose from but I see we both tended to like the stripes and polka dots quite a bit.  The cars with the trees on top - what a hoot!  I loved those.  There is also a day and night scene of a hand drawn town.  We have them on different pillows as I really wanted the backside of the pillow to compliment the front, rather than be the opposite.




Another one of the design patterns we were fortunate to find were the watercolor winter scenes.  They also made for some gorgeous pillows that won't necessarily have to be put away as soon as the New Year rings in.







If there is a pillow combination that you would like and we don't have it, please let us know and we'll make it up for you.

Have a wonderful, fabulous day!

Christmas Tees and Shirts

The ugly Christmas sweater has become a joke of sorts, but ... I've always loved the corny shirts and sweaters with sewn on stars and snowflakes, a reindeer or two and a snowman!  There are so few times of the year that a person can dress up in theme gear and do it again and again for nearly a month.



When I lived in Michigan I had a dozen Christmas themed sweaters.  I would layer them over a mock turtleneck and head out into the world.  I may have had people laughing at me, but I didn't care.  If I can make someone laugh then it's been a fantastic day!



Our tees aren't the way-too-gaudy type, but they are fun and festive!  They have a good theme going on without having everyone in the office or on the street laughing at you.  Steve created our version of a Christmas grumpy cat and I just love him.  We've got him on a mug at our house and we keep it out all year.  




If you'd like to use our shirts as the beginning of a Christmas project, go right ahead - glue and applique to your hearts delight!  We had a lot of fun putting this all together.  Don't forget you can order any of our designs on over a hundred styles.  Zazzle has long sleeved shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, all kinds of warm stuff as well as t-shirts.  This is just one of the many benefits of Print-on-Demand.  We don't have to stock 110 styles of shirts!



Go ahead get your Christmas on!

Tote Bags - two sided design


Tote Bags

The tote featured today is a medium sized bag 16" tall x 16" wide. The strap is a real nice 28"long and it's made in the USA.

We've got a whole new assortment of these bags that are just in time for Christmas.  Some of the designs are Christmas inspired and others are donor awareness inspired.  I've only put one photo on the bags, so far, and that's the one at the top - the candy dots. They are so festive!  Any of these would make a nice gift for yourself or others.


One of the best things about these bags is that they are two sided. The cutie watercolor snowman was so much fun that I made 4 different bags with him on it.  


This link will take you to the whole section where you can view all of the totes and these snowmen below.




Have a great day!

Stocking Stuffers

The past two nights Steve and I have been working hard to get some more stocking stuffers and lower priced gifts into our stores.  We have so many designs and we have so many ideas that it's really hard to do all the things we want to do!  We should have probably had all of this stuff designed and in our stores in September, but we are rarely early for anything.





Zazzle has so many products and they have a sale every day.  Make sure you get on their email list and you will find out what the sale of the day is and if you've been wanting a tote bag, you will find that a 30% sale will come along shortly.  Wait for the sale.



I worked on some pocket journals and Post-It Notes because I love paper products.  I can't wait to order some of these myself.  Most of the pocket journals feature my photos on the front cover.  If I could put my photos on Sharpies I would, but they don't have that option yet!  The pictures below show the front and back of the journal.






Several friends of mine have just had babies or have just become a grandparent so I have had babies on my mind.  Zazzle has a lot of kids apparel, but I focused on babies - we created a few bibs, pacifiers and rompers.






Enjoy and have a fabulous day!
