Launching my new etsy site: Katherine's Cabin of Kitsch



It was a Jewelry Jamboree. Now I'm expanding my offerings under the encompassing title of "Cabin of Kitsch" (have to keep up the alliteration :D).

Check it out! I'm going to be adding new products this week and weekend!

Among the new wares will be jewelry (with some jewelry I made a while ago on sale), notecards, on-demand prints of art, drawings, sewing projects, cool stuff I find at the thriftstore, etc. <3

New Logo + Website Woes

Add this to the bin of logos I enjoyed creating which will never see the light of day:









Oh well, can't win 'em all. I'm still working on developing their logo, but I wanted to share this early iteration because I liked it so much. The leaves are "recycled" from my old Shelby Church of God logo pitch (they ended up going in a different direction for their logo). These little leaves just can't catch a break. ;_;

You may or may not have noticed that my old portfolio website (katherinemcgonigle.com) is down. Whoops, paid to renew the domain through Made2Own, and Made2Own let it lapse. Apparently they have dropped off the face of the earth, but will sure continue to take your money. It wasn't worth it to recover the domain through eNom (although they are FANTASTIC!), so I just registered the new domain, www.katmcgo.com. Easier to type out for people. :)

The ol' portfolio got a little face lift recently too, so let me know what you think.

Anyway, let me reiterate -- Made2Own will not respond to emails, phone calls or trouble tickets. They will take your money and render no service in return. Made2Own is now SCAMMING people out of their money, instead of just returning it and acknowledging that they are no longer providing web services. Their website is still up and fully functional. Steer clear of them and spread the word!

In other news, I will be reopening my Etsy shop soon (kmcgo.etsy.com) with prints, drawings, greeting cards, kitschy stuff from our local amazing thrift store, jewelry and jewelry supplies. We need to scrape together some dough, as we have fallen on lean times. So please give it a look. :)
