Ding Dong! MeMaw! 🛎️ News flash! Not everything you see on the Internet is an accurate picture of what might be going on in reality. 😂 It’s easy to form opinions and make assumptions that people have an easier life than you because they seem that way online. The truth is we all have our challenges! There’s another truth, though. There is strength in JOY! 💪🏻 I experience lows like everybody else, but after the darkness fades, I choose to face my challenges with joy! 🙌🏻 If you’re going through a rough spot, I hope you know you are not alone. I hope, no matter what you’re going through, you find a spot of joy that makes it easier. 🩷

Ding Dong! MeMaw! 🛎️ It’s FriYAY and boy do we have a good one for you! Our local nursing and rehab facility is hosting an Alzheimer’s awareness event soon and they wanted t-shirts. An anonymous donor overheard their conversation about the invoice, and paid it in full! 🙌🏻 People are doing wonderfully kind things all around us! 🩷

Ding Dong! MeMaw! 🛎️ Meet Fran, our 26’ conveyor dryer. (Do y’all name your equipment?😂) She’s been in service to the screen printing industry and The Shack since 2000. She is a faithful and dependable team member, but MeMaw is plotting to replace her with a new one next year. Our new baby, Simba, will serve as backup if she gives up the ghost before the new one is installed. 🫡 Though storms may come, the presses here will keep on spinning!

Ding Dong! MeMaw! 🛎️ Y’all, I did it! 🙌🏻 It might be barely over the wire, but as this summer fitness challenge comes to an end, I have to say I’ve learned a lot, I’m stronger, and I’m better prepared for what comes next. Stay tuned for the next challenge as I return to Buseik State Park and conquer that mountain! 🏔️ 💪🏻

Replying to @Zack Rutland Ding Dong! MeMaw! 🛎️ In Part One I taught you how to center a 5-panel cap. In Part Two let’s test out the design. I know it seems like overkill to use caps for testing, but there’s really no way to know how a design is going to perform unless you’re stitching on a similar surface to what your customer has ordered. In embroidery, details matter! And details are what separate professionals from amateurs and hobbyists. Turns out, your grandma was right all along! A job worth doing, is worth doing right! 😉

Ding Dong! MeMaw! 🛎️ I gotta know! Would this make you mad? I know we’re moving toward AI doing more and more things humans are currently doing, but trusting it to do graphic design work after client approval? No thank you! 😤

Ding Dong! MeMaw! 🛎️ Saying goodbye to a core member of our team is not easy, but we appreciate Ronnie’s contribution to our small business! Good luck in your next chapter! Hope it’s a good one, but no way they’ll be as fun as us!! 😝

Ding Dong! MeMaw! 🛎️ My favorite is on the screen printing press today - CMYK on anything other than white! I know it breaks the rules, because you’re supposed to only print CMYK on white, but when you change that background color (aka the t-shirt color) AMAZING things happen to your design! Watch how this design comes to life on a variety of colors!
