Behind the Magic: The Work You Don’t See

People see the finished pieces—whimsical hats, colorful tops, magical plushies—but not the hours behind them.

Every stitch comes from trial-and-error, testing yarns, tweaking patterns, and pouring love into the details. It’s not just crafting—it’s building an experience from fiber to fairytale.

After doing a handful of shows that left me discouraged—wrong crowd, low turnout, people who didn’t understand or value handmade work—I finally found my people. The New York Faerie Festival wasn’t just a great show... it was a soul-level YES. I’ve been dreaming of vending there since I started crocheting, and this year I got to live it. I sold pieces I never expected to move, received more compliments than I could count, and—for the first time—I truly felt seen as an artist.
