Phase One : The Dream

I've always been amazed at how much my father loved his work and grew up thinking that everyone loved their jobs, boy was I wrong! When reached the ripe age of 16 I got my first job as a store clerk and let me tell you, It was very repetitive and down right dull. I knew that unless I became a zombie, I wouldn't be able to stay in this line of work for long. So the search for a job that I would love begun!


Phase Two : The Idea

Fast forward about 11 years and I'm now married and I've just quit my job (as a store clerk, the irony!) to welcomed my new bundle of joy into the world. I knew I wouldn't be able to be unemployed for long but I wanted to stay at home and be the one raising my daughter. It's the dilemma every new mom has to go through. A friend of mine recommended that I try starting a crafting business, I love being creative so this was a great idea! I started to dapple in various crafts to see which I prefer to do. After quite a few failed ideas, I came across polymer clay and began sculpting. I knew after the first Christmas ornament I made from it that this was the one! So I decided to take my new love interest to the internet, but before i could create my online business I would need a name.


Phase Three : The Name

"What's in a name? that which we call a rose, By any other name would smell as sweet"

While this is certainly true, I'm pretty sure that if it was called flabbergunther, It wouldn't roll of the tongue as nicely and would be incredibly hard to spell and pronounce. I needed to think of a name that would not only catch the essence of my art style but it would also be memorable. I started thinking of all the odd nicknames we have given my daughter. The one that we used the most was Pee Wee. Then I remembered a colorful and wacky TV show i used to watch as a child that actually had my daughters nickname in it. So I made a pun out of the name to create Pee Wee's Clayhouse.



Phase Four : The Goal

My goal is to make someones wedding or birthday that much more memorable with one of my cake toppers, to put a smile on that special someones face when you give them a piece of jewelry I made. I want each of my customers to feel special because each piece was made especially for them.

I truly appreciate that you took the time to read about the creation of my business.
