DRD Designs was created to honor the memory of Laurie’s son, Dillon R. Dziedzic. The idea originated with her son who was saving his favorite pair of jeans by patching them all by hand sewing them with various items. A short time after Dillon’s passing on October 24, 2010 at only the age of 24, Laurie began creating jeans for loved ones and as therapy...it then evolved into DRD Designs.

MANY NEW HITS ON BLOG...REMINDER OF WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT!

DRD Designs was created to honor the memory of my son, Dillon R. Dziedzic  The idea originated with my son. As you can see in my "About Me" section of this blog my amazingly talented and creative son was saving his favorite pair of jeans by patching them..all hand sewn. He used various items like a bandana, scrap cloth, and even a piece of mesh fence. A short time after his passing on October 24, 2010 at the age of 24 I began to make a pair of jeans for his girlfriend in memory of him. I put a lot of love into her "memory jeans" and made them similar to his including a poem about their creation. After that family members began requesting I make them a pair and friends as well. Creating has been my therapy and there is a continued connection to my son when I am doing so. Each design is its own unique style never to be reproduced. The only thing all my items have in common is they all bear a Peace sign in some form or fashion whether it be embroirdered, a patch, sewn on or on a button. Before I knew it people were telling me I should sell my creations. I used to tell my son his unique style was marketable...I am telling him again by showing him as he looks over me to see the designs I am creating in his memory. Most recently I have sold my designs at craft shows and yesterday put my designs in another store in Glenville, New York.. La Moda Lisa...very unique store where Art meets Fashion!! Check out her website as well to see my designs and more. Happy blogging all and happy shopping..check out my etsy store or email me for custom orders!! Have a wonderful weekend. Love to all.

SHOW WAS A SUCCESS I have a Happy heart!!

The show was fun, met new people, made some friends and networked which is very important as a crafter! Funny how you can run into people from 20 years ago and they still have that same face only some gray hair to go on top of their head now. Anyway, my heart was happy with the sale of 5 jean items and a number of odds and ends. I believe I sold a total of 12 items including a purse and 2 hats. I was pleased to say the least. My heart was happy because people out there are rockin my son's style and that means more to me than any dollar amount from the sale of the jeans. One girl said to me "these shorts are only $20.00?" I said "its more about the memory of my son and getting his style out there"  I think I am skipping April shows to be prepared for shows for 3 weeks in a row in May and one in June. I will post information as I get it. The first show is in Galway on May 7th at the Fire Department. My daughter Adriana, 21 years old made a brochure which I am attaching here. She did a great job!!! More soon as I am extremely busy...must get back to that tuxedo coat..due on Thursday...yikes..I feel like an attorney..wait until the last minute and then work under pressure!! It's all good. Thanks for visiting my blog...BECOME A FOLLOWER!!! Peace, Love and Rock n Roll
