While I was in Ireland, one of our tour attendees, Jan C., asked if she could make a cross stitch of my Celtic cat logo that was designed by Ingrid Houwers. I told her, “Go ahead!” And now she’s finished the cross stitching. Now I think she might throw it together into a wee banner […]

We Have Totes and Tees!
