It’s the New Year and Otter Things is another year older. On January 4, my little otter empire turned 6. As a special treat, I gave it a Twitter profile. Yup, otter and bird are together at last!
In the past, all the news from Otter Things showed up here on the blog, and then I started the Facebook Page. I had my own author Twitter account, but I am sure some of you don’t want to hear the ramblings of a children’s author, and some of my writing colleges and fans don’t want to be inundated with cute otter pictures—of course, I don’t see why not.

For many years, I have been making my illustrations available on t-shirts, mugs, and similar items through Cafe Press and Zazzle. My little otter has been busy with many otter activities. It’s been seen reading, dancing, swimming, even fighting zombies; and that’s just to name a few. However, I dreamed of a day when I could sell directly from my own site, and offer my fans all of my designs. Well, my dreams are about to come true.
After researching various drop-shipping companies, I was able to find one that offered a nice selection of products and Direct-to-Garment printing. It has been a slow process since I have to reformat all of my illustrations for the printing process, but the final products are beautiful. Over the next few months, I will be adding designs to the site and making them available for purchase. They will be available on apparel, bags, and mugs; but as new products come available, I will add them.
For those who just can’t wait, you will still be able to purchase my designs through my other stores, and I will have the links visible on this site. If you have already purchased an item with my designs, please let me know what you think. If there is a design that you think I otter be selling, contact me. I am always looking for ideas and my little otter loves trying new things.
It’s 2015 and a new year has begun. What a better way to start it off than by telling everyone about a new design. If you did not know I actively volunteer in my community and recommend that everyone do the same. The Clarence Bluebird Trail is just one of the organizations I help. I spend some of my free time with a group of animal lovers like myself and help record data on the nesting habits of our local avian residents. This inspired me to create a new IOB design, I Otter Be Birding.
Available at Otter Things.
Whether you tour the forests with binoculars, catalog newly identified species or simply keep a bird feeder in your backyard, this design can tell others what you would rather be doing.
Birds of a feather flock together, so don a shirt with I Otter Be Birding and hang out with your otter friends.
