2010

Despite a slow start we had a fun year. The usual "pay the rent" type of embroidery such as conti suits, shirts and jackets but happily other embroidery as well.
We had a lot of fun designing racing shirts and caps, they look rather sharp I must say.
Caps are Rowland's favourite I think, it's great finding ways to squeeze in something more on the back or side.
We have quite a few people who bring towels, bath robes and such to have a name embroidered as a gift. Denim bib aprons are a favourite as gifts for Dad or Hubby and I'm working on a line of bags for the ladies.
We try to keep the cost of the gift section as low as possible, when you're giving to the man who has everything, especially if it's from the kids, rather go for something he'll genuinely like if a new car is out of the question.
Urban Threads continue to put out excellent, quirky designs and we're using them more and more.
I should be showing my wares at a holistic fair in February, articles with the Ohm sign Chakra symbols and the like. I've embroidered the Reiki precepts onto a keyboard cover, something good to contemplate at the start of the workday and plan various other things, cushions, aprons and so on.
I do believe 2011 will be a busy fun year for Huggybear Embroidery. We enjoy meeting new people through our work and coming up with new ideas to keep the idle hands active.
One of the highlights of 2010 was being part of a special day for some young men from Maitland. We embroidered shirts and caps, others donated time, food, themselves. The boys were taken to Killarney Racetrack, already dressed in their new togs. The day consisted of all things "boy".
Hot dogs, hamburgers, Coca Cola, lucky packets, watching the racing, sitting in a racing car and just having a good time. Hopefully we can all get together and do something again for the girls.
Have a good year and remember
The painless tattoo is only a few embroidery stitches away. Call me.

just a thought

When a shrink goes out on his bike does he call it pschycleing?

Welcome to our world of embroidery

We've been in the machine embroidery business for about 5 years. When we started out we decided that no job would be too small and we've stuck to that. This means that we take your order for one tiny shirt with bunnies for a new born baby or even Grandpa's colours for his new motorbike club. But if Grandpa's still working, he may want us to to supply and embroider some workwear, about 60 suits perhaps. That's what we do.
Because some 90% of the work we do is for men we get really excited when an order comes in for something a little more feminine, a chance to show off.
Once we figure out how to post some photos and catagorise our product we'll have some sidebars built to impress. In the meantime, if you're in need of some good quality embroidery and the item fits into our machine, we're the ones for the job.
We'll chat again.
