Our Story
I started this business in 2001 a month before 911. I had planned to buy a 12-needle embroidery machine at a trade show that Fall but the show was ultimately canceled because of the travel ban. I was a full-time math teacher, mom, and certified embroidery nut at the time. My Aunt Louise had introduced me to machine embroidery on her home embroidery machine and I was hooked. Fast forward 21 years and I now have the expertise to really enjoy working as a full-time embroiderer, digitizer, printing and promotional expert.
We recently moved to East Texas and started a new life among the zebras—a dream come true. My shop looks out on a beautiful forest of trees filled with all kinds of critters and beautiful birds. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful place in which to live and work. I hope that you find something here on my site that you find helpful or that brings you joy. I am determined to offer great service, great products, creative designs, and helpful advice to all who visit my site.
Safari Waters
Sometimes the view from inside the shop includes a zebra or two and I'm ok with that!
​
If you are in the Safari Waters neighborhood and need help with a project for you, your family, your team, or your business just ask. You can come over and we can talk about it.
​
If you are outside of Safari Waters we can meet by zoom, at the gate or any other place convenient place for you.

I'm happy to help.
