I started soap making over 15 years ago, and honestly, I still love it just as much today.

It’s relaxing. Creative. Therapeutic even.

After I took my first class, I started experimenting with different soap bases, colors, scents, and ingredients to figure out what I really loved. Charcoal and turmeric became favorites. I love making layered peppermint soaps. I’ve added loofahs, botanicals, and all kinds of fun touches over the years.

None of that would’ve happened if I hadn’t just taken the first class.

That’s why I’m encouraging you to come learn with us on June 6th at 10 a.m. at the Handmade U Studio. Mar Na from  is going to walk you through everything you need to know to get started.

You might leave with a new hobby you absolutely love.

My friends and I joke all the time about hearing “we got that at home” growing up. “That” was any store or restaurant your parents were trying to avoid lol. So naturally I got inspired … so welcome to the crafty edition. 😂

In this first video, we recreated a cake topper we saw on Etsy because life was life-ing and we ran out of time to order it.

Now before the craft community side-eyes me, let me say this loud and clear: this was for personal use only, and I made changes to the original design. I would never sell or reproduce another maker’s work for profit. If you want one, please go support a small business on Etsy because creators deserve that love and support.

But listen… sometimes the “at home” version turns into a fun memory too. 😂

Stop back and see what else we end up making at home.

Do you love crafting and you are tossing around the idea around about starting a handmade business?

This is the perfect time to start and here’s why. You can lay the foundation for your business now, file your paperwork and get legal in the next 30 days or so.

Then you have Q3, which is just a fancy way we divide up the year. So Q3, short for Quarter 3. Is July-September. During this time you are building your presence, taking orders and getting reviews to build social proof.

Social Proof is what tells other people you are legit and make a good product! Then you can reflect, make some tweaks and have a rockstar of a Q4.

Q4 Is October - December, this is the epitome of gift giving season. Coming off of Back to school we roll right into Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. For retailers a lot of them make the most $$$ in Q4. Like it saves their year!

So that’s all for now but these were some thoughts I had.

If you are curious Mt. Airy Learning Tree has a class next week where you can explore what goes into starting a business. I am teaching and would love to see y’all there!

For my brothers wedding we wanted to have our grandparents and my older brother present. With the help of AI not only did we create a collage but we also got them wedding ready.

May they continue to rest in peace!

PS: because I know some of you are wondering. We never met our grandfathers and we don’t have any photos of them 😟.

PPS: Handmade U has added Virtual AI classes to the schedule for June. More to come!

So I wanted to give the couple a gift and I knew this was it! I was so happy with how this dress turned out. The couple has a keepsake that they enjoy one day.

If you are curious, this is sparkling apple cider, some ribbon, tulle, some bling embellishments all held together with my favorite The Gorilla Glue Company hot glue sticks!
