At the end of my intense chemo treatments in August, my wife announce that she was going to by a Cricut machine. Without hesitation, I said go for it because if anyone deserved to treat herself, it was my darling wife! After 3 months and many projects, it was my turn to receive some cool things.
Without going into the details, this magic machine finely cuts vinyl that can be placed on virtually any surface. (wood, glass, fabric, steel, aluminum, etc) It is quite amazing, but it does take a bit of work setting up the scalable vector graphic (SVG). I have been teaching myself how to use a free program to help with the SVGs and between the two of us, this is what we came up with:
This is it so far, but there is not end to what we can make. We are hoping to create a few more items to wear on and off the course. My wife is very meticulous and here products are outstanding. She is having a blast with her new hobby and I am a grateful recipient of her efforts!
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!
Jim,
The t-shirt and framed Grateful Golfer logo look awesome! Looking forward to seeing what else you and your wife come up with!
Cheers
Josh

My Daughter received one for Christmas from her husband. I can’t wait to show her what you and your wife have done. She will now have to do all of the golf shirts for my Junior Program. Thanks for sharing.

No problem. She or her husband will want to learn Inkscape, it is free and makes things easier in the long run. Great to hear from you. Happy New Year to you and Charlie.

Nice. If you or your wife ever want to try turning that into a small business, let me know. I have code sitting around for an e-commerce site that is secure and has held as many as 90 thousand products for clients I’ve had in the past. It’s overkill for your needs, but it was for the last friend I set it up for too. She was a painter. The wife of an old and dear friend and fellow golfer. We lost them both a couple of years back to age. But I can bring her site back to life on my server in just a few seconds so you can see how it works. For her, it just took payments through paypal, but it’s capable of using a number of credit card processors. And its open source, so the only costs involved are set up and hosting and whatever card processing fee’s that your chosen processor charges.
