Couldn’t pass up on the bag of random greeting cards for $1 at my local thrift store! So don’t be alarmed if you get a patch with a birthday or get well wish! I’m just saving things from being made new or going into the landfill and saving us money too!

In case you didn’t know with the exception of things like needles and thread and fittings like zippers and clasps all of the materials that I use to make my patches and bags are found at thrift stores and estate sales. I’ve also been gifted fabric too! I love breathing life into the things that other people pass up on.

Big thanks to everyone that ordered a Freak Flag! I’m wrapping this one up pretty much and they sure were a lot of fun to make! Please if you wanted one and I haven’t messaged you let me know by sending a dm or commenting on this post. My experiment with the google form was mostly successful but there were a few people on that list that I was just unable to reach!

Looking forward to Huntsville next 🙂

Love all y’all Freaks!

EDITx2

We have made more than 2/3 of the fundraiser! We can do this:) Ray of Light vest got picked up but the Teaching Love jacket is still available!

EDIT: Please DM me if you want to donate and get one of those pieces so we can be sure the item is still available!

I normally don’t post things like this but often donate to raffles and fundraisers privately. We have a sweet friend April that could use our help to get back to work with a necessary vehicle repair. Please consider donating to the Go Fund Me!
I have two pieces that are up for grabs to help with the cause! Donate $100 to the Go Fund me and pick one of these one of a kind originals!

Happy Merch Monday!

EDIT: made a mistake with the form, please DM me or comment on this post (unless we’re already friends or messaged) as I have been unable to connect with some of you to send your FREAK FLAG!

I’m still high as a miracle from the Freak Fair and so grateful to Heidi for sharing her vending spot with me this weekend and I sold out of all my Freak Flags very quickly!

I didn’t make all that many to be honest because I was too busy fulfilling BillyStock patches after Bethel. I know that there were some folks that wanted some but p**f they just went. So I’m going to do another run or two (or until I’ve satisfied requests!

I thought I’d try something new to help keep me organized and so have created a google form, but hey if that doesn’t work for you just dibs em in the comments or send me a DM! $33 shipped, first come first served!

Love you FREAKS!

Leaving for the Freak Fair in one week!!! Squee!

Going to start this post off with a huge bunch of gratitude for all of you who have supported me in my craft! I have been very busy stitching out those BillyStock patches and it has been my most popular patch to date!

🙏🙏Thank you ❤️Thank you🙏🙏

I stitched out the last batch yesterday and while yes I have two embroidery machines that do the stitching my two hands (and sometimes Everett’s two hands) are very much involved in the creation and I lost count but I made at least 175! Small potatoes for some but that’s huge for me! I’m not going to lie though, I got pretty tired from making those! Now on to other things!

Hey friends! I know it’s been a while but I need some help! I found this really great piece of train fabric and of course I immediately thought of making some zippered bags! There are so many train songs that I love that I couldn’t just pick one so I ❤️Train Songs was what I embroidered.
Which train song you want to see embroidered on one of these?

STREAMLINE CANNONBALL
SLOW TRAIN
I’D LIKE TO BE A TRAIN
TRAIN THAT CARRIED MY GIRL
REUBENS TRAIN
BRINGING IN THE GEORGIA MAIL
TRAIN TRAIN
RIDIN’ ON THAT MIDNIGHT TRAIN

Well you know the list goes on! I have just enough fabric to make 12 more of these bags which are 7.5 by 5 inches. So let me know what train song you’d stitch out and if you want me to make one just for you!
