On A Dime Designs

On A Dime Designs My grandmother, Marilyn O'Leary included dimes in everything. She taped them to the inside of cards and left them everywhere she went.

She is the motivation behind my business and the person who gave me the desire to create. Be on the lookout for dimes!

I've spent the last few months working almost entirely on a sign project for a local business. Today I decided to start working on something new for the house before I begin the next phase of the project.

✨ A Little Personal Share Today ✨

Tomorrow is my granddaughter’s birthday, and like most grammies I think she’s pretty amazing. 🩷

Her absolute favorite animal is a giraffe named Turbo at the Zoo. If you’ve been around here for a while, you know that the things I create usually come from something meaningful… and this one is no different.

Lately I’ve been working on something new — a fabric collection inspired by Turbo and the savannah. Warm colors, fun textures, and patterns that remind me of that giraffe she loves so much.

It felt like the perfect project to start as she turns another year older.

Along with that, there are also some new laser files, project blanks, and a new website coming soon for On A Dime Designs. Lots of exciting things happening behind the scenes.

And for those of you who enjoy the design side of making, I’ve also started a new community called The Dime Design Crew — a place for learning file creation, painting techniques, and just having fun experimenting with ideas together.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, I’d love for you to join us there.

But for today… I’m mostly celebrating a little girl who loves giraffes and inspired a whole new creative adventure. Happy "One Whole Hand Day" to my favorite giraffe loving little Shamrock. 🦒🩷 🍀

Getting moved in and settled is hard work for Ms. Charlotte. Too bad she doesn't have a comfy place to nap.
