​Hey Sis, ​I want to talk straight with you today, because if you follow me, you know that transparency is what I promised. Sometimes, when you see beautiful projects, colorful fabric hauls, or a seemingly endless stream of creative energy online, it's easy to assume things. It's easy to think, "Wow, she must be selling so much!" or "I wish my hobby could pay my bills like hers." ​Let me set the record straight: My crafting, right now, is not funding my life in any way. ​🙅‍♀

Hey Crafty Fam! Y'all know I was absolutely GEEKED to launch my first-ever holiday product: the Santa Cam Ornament! I spent hours perfecting the design, weeding that vinyl, and making sure the final product was black, sleek, and giving maximum "Mommy said Santa is always watching" energy. It was my baby, my debut product, and I was ready for the internet to bow down to my crafting prowess! ​I posted the finished product, ready for the praise, the hearts, and the inevitable ru

🦃 Y’all. Thanksgiving 2025 Reflection: It's Okay Not To Be Okay, Sis. ✨ Y'all. Whew. Let’s talk about this Thanksgiving 2025 reflection, because it was a whole mood, a whole journey, and honestly, a whole vibe shift. We stayed at home. As usual. This is our new norm, and real talk? I'm ok with it. We cooked exactly what we wanted, how we wanted—no compromises, no performing. Pajamas all day. Only had the company we invited. Simple. Peaceful. The Ride Home Sucker Punch 🥊 But

​Honey, let's be honest. The holidays? They're supposed to be all sparkle, joy, and "fa-la-la-la-la." But if you're like me, sometimes they just hit different. Sometimes, they hit hard. They can be a loud reminder of who's missing, what's changed, and the ache in your soul. And if that's where you're at right now, let me tell you straight: it is absolutely, 100% okay not to be okay. For real. ​Grief, chile, that thing is a whole journey. It's heavy, it comes at you in waves y

Yo, check the mic, one two. 📣 When you finally finish that quilt, that dress you tailored, or that painting you’ve been zoning in on, what did you really whip up? Just another finished project? Nah, fam. You birthed a moment of radical self-possession. That’s the real. See, for us—Black women—making stuff isn't just some cute hobby you pick up on the weekend. It’s legacy. It's a necessary act of taking back what’s ours. It's a quiet, deep-seated resistance against a world th

I did it! We live baby! The shop has officially moved from the Etsy Platform to my site. A few of my favorite products are ready for purchasing. Ill be adding through the week. As well as a gallery page. I do alot of custom requests! Reach out if you have a project in mind. We can chat! Remember sis, seasonal depression is real. Open the blinds early. Drink your water. Watch your favorite movies. Burn your favorite scents. Take care of you! I'm beyond grateful for the support

Tuesdays are by far the longest day of the week for us. Sometimes an early morning, night activities, after school activities, team meeting day, and whatever else. Basically our day is accounted for up until Wednesday after school and work. Went to dance after I got off to be there when Ana switches classes. We chat between classes while she changes shoes. Today was different. We chatted, she ran to hip hop and put her tumbling shoes in her bag. The mom next to me, goes "wow

🎁 It’s Official! The Nov. 1st Declaration: Let the Holiday Sparkle Begin! 🎄 Hey Crafty Queens and Kings! Can you feel it? That crisp air, the sudden urge to sip cocoa, and a whole lot of holiday magic starting to bubble up! If you’re anything like me, October 31st isn't just Halloween—it's the night before Christmas decorating! For years, the debate has raged: When is it too early to put up your Christmas decorations? Forget the gatekeepers, sis. Today, November 1st, is my

Happy Saturday! Life has been lifeing! This past week has been a interesting. Mental health is real. Its been alot of up and down ls for me this week. Crying for no reason. Feeling absolutely overwhelmed. Maybe its the winter blues creepin up. Im blessed to have a employer who provides great insurance and mental health benefits. Needless to say, I havent worked on much. A few drafts of car decal orders. And a skull keychain 💀 . We did get out after work for a few. Kids got

I'll be aiming for a new style of keychain with mixed materials ( chipboard and faux leather). A keychain for each of the girls. Of c

Hey! It's your new favorite Craftin Ass Blk Grl - Brea! I'd like to start by thanking you all for joining and supporting me on this journey. I love DIY and more so crafting in general. I have found a love for creating products that make you smile, laugh, and sometimes cry. I lost myself in being a moment, wife and employee for so long. I have found a part of me I missed, a part I forgot existed. If sharing inspires even one person to find that thing that makes them, them aga
