Dabbling in all the things!!!
I began crafting from a very young age. My grandmothers shared their love of cross stitch, knitting and crocheting. Over the years I began dabbling in just about any art project I could get my hands on and that trend continues to this day.
As I got older I enjoyed making personalized gifts for family and friends. Let’s be honest, I was a broke college student and needed to stretch my dollars, but more importantly because I loved giving handmade items. That's where it all started! Each year I tried to come up with new gifts ideas.
On and off for the past 12 years I continued to make custom crafts. I was out of my comfort zone with most of these projects because I had so many “firsts”. This is how I started pet portraits. Someone asked if I could paint their dog. It took forever, I was super nervous, but they loved it. After that by word of mouth orders came rolling in.
I originally opened this shop in 2012, but found it to be intimidating and I didn’t know where to start so it laid idol. After years of getting pressure to list items I’m giving it a go!
Many of these items listed are samples from workshop I host, original art that I create for my own enjoyment and example pieces that I would like to unload from my inventory.
Since 95% of my sales are custom pieces please feel free to reach out to me for anything of that nature and I will happily answer questions and provide estimates.
