Draw That Pig is a small business that specializes in handmade monster pajama eaters (aka worry monsters), fun pillowcases and other cozy items for your littles. I also sell ethnic/Polish wedding accessories (StoLat A Wedding Shop). Draw That Pig opened in the Fall of 2012 when my younger daughter entered Kindergarten. What was once a very part-time endeavor became a passion. I craved learning new
sewing techniques and formulating new ideas. I discovered that other women -- moms, grandmas, moms-to-be, especially -- were falling in love with my creations. They were so pleased that my items were original, practical, beautiful, and handmade. I found a niche, and I was loving my work! My sewing business is part-time, and all items are made by me in my home studio. I am mom to three wonderful children (Lauren, 29; Rhianna, 14; James, 13), and I live in the Scranton, PA area (Old Forge) with my two younger kids. We share our world with a few cats and a handful of chickens. I also work full-time as a personal care aide at our local high school. Draw That Pig is quite an unusual name for a sewing business, isn't it? This name comes from the inspiration I receive daily from my loving parents. When I was in Kindergarten, I had a workbook assignment to "draw a pig." But I panicked and got really upset. I didn't think I could do it. Well, they encouraged me every day up until that assignment was due. And I ended up drawing the best pig ever! Teacher even held it up in front of the class! From that day, they always remind me that I am able do anything I put my mind to. I can, indeed, run a small business, be an amazing mom ... "draw that pig." I am here to encourage you, too. I realize there are times when you could use an emotional boost -- a genuine smile, a kind word, a pleasant surprise. Know that when I create these items, I am thinking about the recipient. I truly enjoy what I do, and I am genuinely hoping that my creations will fill you with happiness as well. There is such good karma in my products that I just know that they will make your day!
