The Real Story Behind Our Handmade Crochet Journey
It’s not just about aesthetic reels, it’s about the coffee, the 5-9 hustle, and making something magical with a hook and yarn.
Growing this brand from nothing with my mom has been an incredible journey. Hitting our first 1000 followers was a huge milestone, and it's all thanks to your amazing support for our small, family-run business.
People often wonder who runs a small business after their 9 to 5 job. The answer is people like me, who are driven by passion. The hustle is real, but so is the reward of building something you love.
This is the pure joy I feel while working on your orders. Whether I am at home or waiting for a train, every moment is an opportunity to create something special for you.
This is a glimpse into my daily routine, working hard to make my small business succeed. It takes focus and dedication, but the support from my family, especially my mom, makes it all possible.
I believe in sharing what I learn. In this video, I give practical tips for other small business owners about running a pop-up stall, covering everything from payment methods to clear pricing.
There is a special kind of pride that comes from wearing something you have made yourself. Here I am, enjoying the outdoors in a cozy blue crochet top from my own brand.
About My Small Business Journey
You see the perfect plushie in photos, but behind every piece, there is a reality of finding time between my 9-to-5, sourcing soft vegan yarn, and testing patterns until they are just right. When I started, I was terrified that no one would buy anything, but every order since has been a lesson in patience and resilience.
Growing this brand with my mom hasn't been a smooth ride. People see the finished bouquet, but they don't see the hours spent untangling yarn or the nerves before my first pop-up stall. I remember being so nervous about pricing my work that I barely made any profit at first. That is why I share my process—the good, the bad, and the messy.
Whether it is learning to carry extra QR codes so customers don’t have to wait or realizing that clear pricing is better than guessing, every order is a lesson. When you support this business, you are not just buying a toy or a top; you are helping me prove that even with a full-time job, you can turn a ball of yarn into a community. Everything is handmade, so yes, I might take 12-20 days for a custom piece, but that time is spent making sure it is perfect for you. This journey is about more than just sales—it is about the joy of creating something meaningful and connecting with people who value handmade care.
