NEW in Caustic Threads

A friend that helps me out with my shop tasks likes bears. I'd been wanting to do a bear design for a while, but I was inspired and motivated to do it when she mentioned it in conversation. I love how it turned out. This photo is just a preview, the item will be available later this week.

I also finally started offering polo shirts in Caustic Threads. I have been making these for my husband since he can't wear t-shirts at work, and he gets frequent compliments on the screen-printed polo tees he wears to work. This can be ordered now at causticthreads.com

So, What is next? Well, spring is right around the corner. I may cuddle with my little ones and that frog and toad story to see if I can conjure some inspiration.

Some of this, and some of that.

I find myself dreaming of spring while I work close to my space heater. This treasury is inspired by spring days and daydreams.

We filed our first ever paypal claim recently. As an online seller, I never expected to have to file a claim with paypal. Unfortunately, we ordered something from a large website that was not what we expected. We thought we were purchasing a magazine subscription and a few back issues of Vogues Collections. It turns out that we were purchasing a digital copy. After going back and re-reading the information I decided to file a claim because the item did not state anywhere that it was a digital copy. Today Paypal sided in our favor, and after feeling so taken advantage of, it really feels like a victory.

I recently did some new artwork that I will be printing on shirts soon:

The customer that requested the design chose the first image, but I like them both, so I will be turning both into screens.

And of course, I have been tracking the progress of my Blythe Dolls very closely. It looks like they will arrive Saturday, but maybe Monday. I will post pictures when she arrives.

Take care!

A Handmade Cranberry Treats.

I finally did it!

I have been interested in purchasing fabric from spoonflower.com for a long time but got sticker shock from the $18 a yard price tag. Not that that is a BAD price for a custom item, just that that is a lot of money for fabric.

I decided to buy myself some fabric for my birthday last week and was planning on buying some from some of the sellers on etsy, but when my favorite seller was on vacation it re-sparked my interest in designing my own fabric.

Here are a few of the designs I ordered:

I was hoping I could share what they looked like with the images repeated to give a better idea of how they will turn out, but I am sure I will be back to share what the actual fabric looks like later!

I am super stoked!

Take Care!
