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.
Rhonda
