Hey there! I’m diving into a world of creativity and craftsmanship, one handmade wonder at a time. Let me share my story with you.
My love affair with the art of creation began at a tender age, when I would spend countless hours immersed in the world of colors, textures, and shapes. From intricate needlework to vibrant paintings and sculptural clay creations, I found solace and joy in the process of transforming raw materials into beautiful masterpieces.
For years, I nurtured this passion by offering hobby classes from the comfort of my home, sharing my knowledge and igniting the creative spark in others. It was a bustling hub of creativity back then. But times have changed, and with everything available on YouTube, people prefer online tutorials. However, my love for crafting remained unchanged.

It was during this pivotal moment that the seed of entrepreneurship took root. Driven by the desire to support my family and fueled by an unwavering belief in my abilities, I decided to embark on a new journey – one where my artistic expressions could not only bring joy to others but also pave the way for financial independence.
Six months ago, I took a leap of faith and embarked on a journey to turn my lifelong passion for arts and crafts into a sustainable business venture. With skills in painting, stitching, clay work, and more, I knew I had something special to offer. But starting out wasn’t easy, especially with the ever-evolving digital landscape.
In December of the previous year, I took the first step by creating an Instagram account, hoping to showcase my creations to the world. However, the road to success was not an easy one. Using hashtags like #ArtisticExpressions and #HandcraftedDelights, I tried to carve out my space in the vast online market. But despite my efforts, the queries didn’t flood in, and I only received small orders from friends and neighbors.
To spread the word, I started giving away some of my handcrafted items to guests who visited us. While they appreciated my work, recommendations were scarce. It was disheartening, but I refused to give up.
Navigating social media was a challenge for me. I’m not one to spend hours scrolling through feeds, but I’m learning. Each post, each interaction, is a step forward in growing my business.
Despite the setbacks, I find solace in my craft. Whether it’s painting a canvas or molding clay, creating brings me joy. And that’s what keeps me going.
To all the women out there contemplating a new venture, I want to say this: don’t be afraid to start small. The road to entrepreneurship may be paved with challenges, but the rewards of pursuing your dreams and creating something truly unique are immeasurable. Every journey begins with a single step. With perseverance and passion, anything is possible.
So, if you’re looking for a little artistic inspiration or want to support a fellow crafter, come join me on my journey. Follow my Instagram account, @crafteena_wedding_fest_craft, and let’s create something beautiful together.
As I embark on this journey towards financial independence, I invite you to be a part of it. Your support means the world to me. Whether it’s liking a post, sharing my work with your friends, or even making a purchase, every bit of support brings me closer to my goal.
Together, we can turn dreams into reality. Together, we can empower each other to chase our passions and build the lives we deserve. Thank you for being a part of my journey.
