Personalized Angel Ornaments here at Stitches Steel and Stone
Personalized Angel Ornaments - Personalized Angel Ornaments. Welcome to my gift store featuring items, including personalized angel ornaments,  handmade for the most part by me. I get some help from my husband, parents, and friends primarily at juried craft shows.
My Grandma started teaching me how to sew when I was five. I made my first Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls when I was about ten years old. My most prized possession is my 1940 Singer Featherweight sewing machine that I learned to sew on at my grandma's house. It is still my favorite machine to use. I also inherited my husbands Grandmas 1950 Singer Featherweight sewing machine. Last spring I talked my Mom into going to an all day maintenance and repair class for my machines. The class was very fun and helpful.
I started sewing items to sell when I was a teenager. My Mother drove me to juried craft shows. The first items I was selling were handmade fake fur animals and fabric dolls. Everyone told me that I needed to make smaller items. 10 years ago I downsized and started making old fashioned felt ornaments. I sold them at craft shows and at a craft mall. However, my business really took off when I got the idea to start personalizing them. The down side was I had to be there. I purchased a Viking Quilting machine that was designed to embroider names on quilts. I was not satisfied with the quality of the lettering although I sold a lot of ornaments. My Mom saw small embroidery machines advertised that I could take to shows with me that do a much nicer job of lettering. The business took off when she bought me my first one. I usually take three embroidery machines to shows with me and keep them all humming. These machines draw people who like to watch them work. I am sure I could have sold machines if I had extras. It is sometimes hard to keep up with orders for waiting customers so I started taking orders and fulfilling them by mail.
I make approzimately one hundred different ornaments that I personalize on my embroidery machines. No additional charges apply to have name or year or both embroidered on your choice of ornaments. Some ornaments are available in different colors.
I also make a selection of dog designs which are available in different colors. They include: Golden retriever, yellow lab, black lab, chocolate lab, Cocker Spaniel, Bichon Frise, Poodle, Jack Russell with black, Jack Russell with brown, Springer Spaniel with black, Springer spaniel with brown, Scottie, Dachshund, Chihuahua , Pug, dog bone, and a dog house. I will soon be offering more dog breeds.
Additionally, I make personalized Christmas stockings for both people and their animals. I also started making baby bibs in two sizes that can be personalized.
Also, I make items that cannot be personalized such as dog toys, cat toys, hot pads, pillow cases, tapestry tote bags, rustic birdhouses, traditional archery bow socks and arm guards out of leather for bow shooters.
Also featured are some quality gift items in my store including puzzles, tapestry wall hangings, T-shirts, and coffee mugs.
For several years, I have sold on eBay and have received positive feedback. I have had many repeat customers.
