OMFG Trademarked? The abuse of our system...

If you are planning on creating a design featuring the netspeak acronym "OMFG", you might want to know about this.  A lawyer by the name of James Lindon has trademarked a common, everyday phrase and is apparently making the rounds through POD markets like Zazzle and Skreened demanding that products containing the acronym "OMFG" be removed.


Stop me if I'm wrong, but doesn't trademark only apply to brand names?  Can you really trademark a common, every day phrase lik...

Back in the swing of things

At long last, my internet was repaired, but the company in question has not earned any warm-fuzzy words of praise from me.  Even without the problems we've had with the internet itself, I'd be sour-tempered towards this company simply because they can't seem to show up when they say they're going to.  Four times now, I've wasted a morning waiting for someone who never shows up, and I'm done with it.  When our contract expires with them, we'll go with somebody else.

Struggles

I haven't been able to post many updates lately or add much to Zazzle because of my sporadic internet connection.  What was supposed to be top-of-the-line internet leaves me with only occassional access at best, and I still can't do anything like watch movies or video online or upload my graphics to Zazzle.  What I have been able to do, I had to go to my parents' house and borrow their internet for, and it hasn't been fun.  At any rate, hopefully we'll have the net fixed soon a...

Whew!

It's been quite a month for me, folks, so I apologize if it took me a while to post an update.


I've posted several new products in Customizables, including a flipflop design, ladybugs, and some really cute critters.  I'm also starting up a few new shops.  Work is still ongoing on the Event Shoppe, and I have registered two new stores as well: Shopping for Baby and Pet threads.  I will add to them as my schedule allows.


Until next time!

Working on a new shop, unexpected setbacks

prairieghost Posted by prairieghost at 07:15 PM on May 10, 2009 Comments comments (0)

Somehow I've managed to fry my RAM in such a way that I can play Sims2 just fine, but trying to use the preset shapes tool in my art program causes the entire thing to lock up.  Apparently, 3-D universes with intricatly detailed environments and characters is no problem, but drawing an octagon is quite simply out of the question.  I ordered a RAM upgrade from Toshiba, setting me back about $30.  Let's hope it works.


Another setback--we're moving again.  I...

New Designs--Cherry Blossoms, Unicorn

prairieghost Posted by prairieghost at 11:39 AM on May 06, 2009 Comments comments (0)

Announcing the arrival of a handful of new products, including an embroidered unicorn and a beautiful cherry blossom design.


You may recognize this little unicorn from the Unicorn & Princess freebie I posted yesterday.  I drew the image with vectors, so it was simple enough to remove the princess and submit the unicorn as an embroidered design.  (And thanks to the coupon I got when I reached Pro-Seller status, the embroidery conversion was free! Wee!)

The Very First Entry & First Freebie

prairieghost Posted by prairieghost at 12:46 PM on May 05, 2009 Comments comments (0)

Welcome to my very first blog entry!  In time, I hope to provide updates on my merchandise and designs as well as freebies and special offers.  At this point in its development, my site is still very simple, and as you can probably tell, I'm relying pretty heavilly on the easy-to-use templates provided by Webs to get my work done.  As I get braver, I'll adjust the site to better represent what I do, but for now I will leave that in the capable hands of the templates.  Unfo...
