Hey friends. I wanted to share a quick update.

If you’ve been waiting on a custom order or a reply from me, thank you for your patience. I know things have been moving slower than usual and I haven’t been as active here as I normally am.

My dog Leo was recently diagnosed with cancer. The last couple of weeks have been filled with appointments, decisions, research, and a lot of emotions I wasn’t prepared for. Right now my time and energy are focused on making sure he gets the best care possible and the chance to live the rest of his life comfortably.

I’m still working and still creating. Orders are being completed, just at a slower pace than normal. Nothing has been forgotten and I appreciate the kindness and understanding so many of you have already shown.

Starting now, all proceeds from Made By M.E. will go toward Leo’s treatment and care. Supporting my business right now means helping me give my best friend a fighting chance.

If you feel led to help or share Leo’s GoFundMe, the link will be below. There is no pressure or expectation. Your support in any form means more than I can explain.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for caring. And if you have pets at home, give them an extra squeeze for us tonight.

-Madi & Leo 💛

Meet Leo, my stubborn, loyal, and loving best friend. A couple of weeks ago, he started limping… Madi Elmore needs your support for Help Leo Fight Bone Cancer

✨ Custom Order Spotlight ✨

This beautiful bamboo cutting board was made extra special for a customer who requested a cardinal design as a gift for her mother who loves these birds. ❤️

I especially loved creating this piece, as cardinals hold a special place in my own heart too, my great grandmother adored them. Every time I see one, I’m reminded of her. ❤️

It’s projects like this that remind me why I love what I do, bringing meaning, memory, and artistry together into something both useful and heartfelt.

What image, symbol, or memory would you want engraved on a piece just for you?
