The Misadventures of JoJo and Lolli #1
How do two sisters, one a lawyer and one a chemist, become the operators of an online store that sells handmade products. It all started with a Christmas gift. We both received kindles for Christmas 2011, and I, JoJo (aka Amanda) quickly made felted covers for them. Everyone kept saying I should sell the things I crocheted. That is when I came upon Etsy.com, a place to sell handmade items.
Within days we had opened our Etsy shop. The2SistersShoppe. It took awhile but we are now a thriving enterprise and loving every minute of it. With our friends JoJo and Lolli (seen above), we will bring you the stories of triumph, failure, craziness, and everything else that goes into our shoppe.

Book Style Kindle Covers
Are you looking for a kindle/ereader cover that looks and feels like a book? We have exactly what you are looking for. These cases can be made to fit kindle, nook, Sony, kobo, etc. ereaders. We can also make these cases in different fabric.
We were reluctant to make these kind of cases at first. Our original ereader design is a sturdy soft cover that is machine washable and protective. When we made the first book style hard cover we realized how great they are in their own way. They are sleek, sturdy, protective, functional, and way more fashionable than any boring store bought cover. We have a style for whatever you are looking for. We know how much your ereader is part of your life. Why would you want a boring case for your ereader. Reading is an escape into different, fun, scary, crazy, adventurous worlds. Let your ereader express all of that as well.
You can find these cases and many more in our Etsy store. The2SistersShoppe

We are making kindle covers, kindle sleeves, laptop cases, passport covers, and purses for the shop. We have been working on some of the kindle covers and are adding some of them to our Etsy site as well. Here are some of the new covers we have recently added.

We Have Buttons
Sorry it has been so long since the last post. The2Sisters were on vacation.
We are back now and at it again. We are adding buttons to our shop. We just got the button maker in the mail a few days ago and have added 4 button designs to the shop so far. We have more to come, including personalized and custom buttons.
As well as buttons, we will be making pocket mirrors and key chains. We are excited about all the possibilities this is going to bring.
Here are a few of the buttons we have listed so far.

Personalized Portrait Shirts
The2SistersShoppe has a unique new item. We now make personalized shirts from photos that you send us.
Here's how it works:
1. Email us a photo (you can also send it to us in the mail if you do not have an electronic version of it)
We scanned this photo into our computer
2. Prepare the photo for the screen. All images need to be black and white in order to put them on the screen for screen printing.
The dark background was removed from the picture
Then the picture was changed to black and white
3. Make the screen. The screen is prepped with emulsion then dried. The photo is printed onto a transparency film and laid on the dry screen. The screen is hit with special light and all the black spots on the transparency will wash out. So the black parts of the picture are the parts that the ink will go through
4. The screen is blasted with water then dried.
5. The screen is flooded with ink and placed on the shirt. We then squeegee over the screen to get the ink on the shirt. The ink is heat set and the shirt is done.
This shirt was made from a copy of a photo from 1980. Newer photos will have more detail. Also, the brighter & better quality the photo the better the screen.
You can find this listing here.
