From the Desk of HoMade Studio

  The world is feeling the brunt of a global pandemic in March 2020 and the Daytona Beach area is no exception. Not too long ago, Port Orange families like my own, spent their weekends enjoying The World’s Most Famous Beach, going to Disney World, shopping at Tanger Outlets and disputing which local restaurant they wanted to patronize for dinner. They’d wake up Saturday morning and visit Perrine’s farmers market at the Pavilion in Port Orange for fresh, organic produce.  More than one hundred people, from babies to the elderly, would congregate at church every Sunday morning, never hesitating to...

Wash your hands and say your prayers because Jesus and germs are everywhere. How true is that cute little statement these days?

In a world where it’s becoming the norm to stay indoors is being an introvert really a bad thing anymore?

Although countries around the world have commemorated the UN sponsored day into a national...

I don’t know about your neck of the woods but here in Daytona Beach, Florida, Pop-up shops are the newest shopping craze! Online boutiques that just can’t devote the time and money to a traditional brick and mortar storefront are killin’ it when they set up a booth or table at markets from New Smyrna Beach, FL to DeLand, FL. Even Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach offer maximum exposure for a fraction of the overhead when compared with a walk-in store that has to open 7 days a week just to break even. The pop-up store has become a go-to marketing...

HoMade Studio is a one-woman show, so when you buy an item (or two) from HoMade Studio you are truly getting a homemade item. Almost all of my products (with the exception of a few very colorful designs) are made in my home by my hands; they’re not sent with the click of a button to a print-on-demand site where a computer prints the design on your shirt. I spend countless hours designing, cutting, pressing and packaging your items. When you shop HoMade you are helping a stay-at-home mom make a financial contribution to our household. Your support helps pay...
