My Port Authority 1/4" zip knit arrived. The best description is that it feels like a medium weight, stretchy knit. It reminds me of some of my Tek exercise jackets, but it's a slippery knit (polyester/ spandex blend) compared to my cotton pull overs and zip ups. I like it. Need to see how well it stitches, now!

Happy Almost-End-of-Winter everyone! Oh my goodness, it's been a bumpy start to 2026 for this old girl. This year started with 2 Celebration of Life services for two very loved people in my world - my Mother-in-Law, Evelyn and my dear friend, Bertha. After attending these two services, I ended up quite ill. Germs - who wants them, anyway!

For those who didn't know, I missed the better part of February as I contracted both Bronchitis and Pneumonia and went into acute hypoxemic respiratory distress (2/2). Suffice it to say, it's definitely left me a bit weaker after about 27 days of illness, steroids and antibiotics. But I am on the mend and ready to get back to embroidering a few select pieces.

Just as the rest of life was put on hold, so was my back Physical Therapy and exercise journey. That'll all start back up at the end of March as it's going to take me a bit to get myself back where I had been before I got so sick.

To give you an update on my designing - late last year, I actually put together my 2026 - 14 Year Anniversary design for our 3000 GRLS Hero pups. I need to test it out, still, but I'm confident it'll be a winner. Like my other designs, you'll have the opportunity to add your hero(es) name(s) and number(s). I'll likely get the my big girl machine turned on in the next week or so as I continue to recover from this double lung infection.

Here's one of the new pieces I'm entertaining for this new design. I am still looking for the jacket posted last year. Unfortunately, I found the sizing unacceptable on my typically reliable Port Authority jackets. I have no timeline on those at this time. What do you think of this quarter-zip knit ladies' pull over piece?

I think it looks great for a lighter cover up as we head into spring! Hoping to have something updated on the website by end of March. Feel free to nudge me along as I'm moving a bit slow these days.

Hi everyone!

I can't believe we're already into the holiday season. While I'm easing back into the studio, I am offering a limited set of products. I'm still figuring out what to do with the print side of my business. Between my favorite (best!) vendor that provided all of my sublimation blanks changing hands last spring (2024!), I've had a hard time finding a suitable replacement with the quality items I expect.

To provide a hooded jacket update, I am still looking for that perfect hooded shell. I brought in a couple of sizes of the Port Authority style I really liked, only to find that I (and my customers) would have to upsize at LEAST 2 sizes. I'm not even convinced 2 extra sizes would work. The cut is different on this style for some unknown reason. I continue to search for the perfect garment.

I did, however, find a nice men's hooded soft shell jacket. If there's any interest in me adding this jacket to my line up, please let me know. It comes in 3 color combinations - Mineral Green, Black, and Charcoal - each color has an accent color on the sleeves and pockets (as seen in the photo). Base price on this embroidered piece would be around $100.

I appreciate all the notes and messages I've received during my hiatus. I AM feeling much better. I continue to do my daily PT in house and see my Physical Therapy team once a week. Plus, I'm continue to push with my Personal Trainer to strengthen my core - a significant piece of my back strengthing. I am hoping to be back to full studio speed sometime next year.

For those of you who traditionally shop my website but don't see your holiday favorites (hand towels, etc.), please drop me a message and I'll let you know what options are available.

Happy Holidays, everyone!
