Handmade with Love

That’s a wrap on opening weekend of the ✨ girls’ weekend called for some mushroom 🍄 trinkets to celebrate!

It’s been a minute but I finally restocked cards at ✉️ perfectly timed for back to school season! Wishing all of the best for a wonderful school year to all of my teacher friends and family!

So sad to announce that due to financial reasons, the remaining 2024 at has been cancelled 😭 thank you to everyone who supported and shared this event for me. Here’s hoping we’ll have another market to showcase some new goodies at soon! Until then, please continue to reach out here for custom orders 💜

T-3 weeks away from the newagschoolcountrymarket at fabbioliwines! Fingers crossed the weather cooperates with us next month 🤞🏼 hope to see you all there!

Going to on a Sunday strictly for killer coaching vibes with 💪🏼 but stickers don’t hurt either. So glad she asked me to help with this fun collab to bring a little extra to BYOSwiftie Sunday! I’m officially motivated for outer glutes and back.

Due to the heat wave we are experiencing, the board has made the safe decision to cancel the at this weekend. Please stay cool and hydrated this weekend! We look forward to seeing you at the next market on Saturday, August 10th from 11 AM - 5 PM!

Happy birthday, Claire! I can’t believe you’re already 6!! Wishing you the most fabulous month 💜

Happiest of golden birthdays to my sweet friend and fellow creative, 🎉 so glad we got to celebrate your 28th ON the 28th to properly kick off this golden year ✨

PSA: if you’re in your skincare era, which we all should be to protect our gorgeous faces, this multi-talented human is also a certified esthetician. You can find her at in Woodbridge, VA!

Throwback to a custom order I got during market prep! When your coworker gets promoted but that means they have to move to a new location. Congrats to a newly promoted manager!

This sappy ass post is solely dedicated to my absolutely incredible support system ❤️ I was set up next to Tammy, a fellow first time market vendor and the creator behind Pretzel and Juice, and as we were wrapping up yesterday, she said “You knew so many people here. I’m so glad we were set up next to you!” As fun as it was to share my craft and see people fall in love with things I made, THIS was honestly the greatest compliment I got all day. Once I processed those feels, I said, “I’m fortunate enough to have an army of people who support me and they really showed the f**k up.”

Thank you will never be enough to express how grateful I am to everyone who came out, texted, and shared this event to make it what it was. I wish I was able to get pictures with everyone but I hope you all know who you are and that I wouldn’t be where I am without you. My greatest flex are my people and it means the world to have you in my life. Thank you for being amazing and I love you all so so much ❤️

Yesterday marked my very first craft market and it was amazing! I normally never carry inventory as everything is custom and made to order so this last week has been a whirlwind of crafting. And in true procrastinator fashion, Friday and Saturday night I was up until 3:30/4 AM making last minute stuff to ensure I had enough and get everything organized. As crazy as the last few days has been, it’s also been so therapeutic and fun! And being able to show off my creations at the Caboose Commons Women’s Market with so many other talented creators was the perfect wrap up. Thank you to everyone who came out!

So here’s to a successful first market and to a few more this summer! Next up, you can find me at Fabbioli Cellars on July 13th!

Now please excuse me while I do absolutely nothing this evening 🥂

Aloe, warm weather! Spring turns me into a plant fanatic and I love a good pun so I had to bring back this design with a little revamp. Got these super cute keychains made for the Caboose Commons Women’s Market in T-12 days! 🪴

A Nguyening business just opened in Ashburn! Thanks for the Sunday Funday family connect, 🚴‍♀️ wishing my cousins and CYCLEBAR Ashburn their greatest ride yet! Congratulations on your big opening! 🍾

Super exciting news, friends! I just found out that Handmade with Love was accepted for the Caboose Commons Women’s Market on Sunday, 4/21 from 3-7 PM! This will be my very first in person market so come say hi, hang out with me, and support some lovely women owned businesses 🥳

Everyone has their special talents and this guy’s is healing sick fish and giving them a fresh start. Happy birthday 🥳

Wishing THE happiest of birthdays to the boy that made me a godmama! Lucas is all about Mario Party these days so obviously I had to get Mario himself to wish him a happy birthday.

Happy Mother’s Day weekend! Come get your last minute cards, bubbles, and treats at to spoil mom tomorrow!

I know I’ve been slacking on sharing wedding DIYs but I promise they’re coming! Here’s a post wedding DIY to get this year kicked off - marriage announcements! I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday season 🥂

2022 will be a hard year to beat. Show me what you got, 2023!

Congratulations on your new home, Amy and Richard! Shoutout to Right Place Studio for THE perfect wrapping paper to celebrate the occasion 🚪

Happy belated birthday to my, wait for it… new sisters in law! 🎉 so thrilled to grow my sibling pool 😍

Today’s post is dedicated to my fellow Type A Queen and dear friend, 😘 Kayla generously offered to be the Chaos Coordinator for me and and she f**king killed it.

The reality of wedding planning: it’s a lot and that’s okay. If you know me, you know how incredibly important mental health and transparency are to me so swipe for the less pretty side of wedding planning. Crying while wedding planning is 1,000% normal but remember to take a step back, take care of yourself, and remind yourself that the day is about you and your partner. Don’t let other people or unsolicited feedback get to you.

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely LOVED planning and wouldn’t have changed a thing but it is also overwhelming. I never understood what decision fatigue was but holy s**t, it is f**king real. These last two months have been a roller coaster and I’m so thankful Kayla was along for the ride the entire time. Kayla was there to make sure every detail was exactly as I envisioned and that WE got to enjoy our day by jumping in whenever anyone had questions so we wouldn’t be bothered or interrupted.

Kale, words cannot begin to thank you enough for what you’ve done and continue to do to make sure our wedding and memories last a lifetime. You’re so incredibly thoughtful, supportive, and a generally badass boss bitch. We love and appreciate you so much, you’re amazing and we can’t wait to see you again soon ❤️

(We also love Tim and too but this post isn’t about them 😘)

Hi, friends! It’s been a LONG time since I’ve posted here but your girl is officially MARRIED and back! I had the best time wedding planning and crafting pieces of our big day. You know I love celebrating everything for at least a month so stay tuned for all of the DIY shares and AMAZING vendor shoutouts to keep rolling through the end of 2022!

I hope you all had the most wonderful Thanksgiving 🦃

Got to go to a dino party over the weekend and it was dinomite! Wishing you the happiest of birthday months, Jackson 🦖

Hi, friends! I’ve been buried in wedding planning but I’m still here and creating where I can. Coming out of hiding to celebrate fall with Norm’s!
