Welcome to the most happening part of my World! Yes, this blog is the most happening place of my world as it is all about my start up – “Heartie Creations”. I started this blog (though very late), to share my journey and all about my baby – “Heartie Creations” – One stop-shop for all the hand-made customized cards.
Being myself a married software engineer, everyone expects that all my weekdays end up working on applications, projects, meetings and household chores. But the most exciting part even in these hectic weekdays is the recharging and refreshing source of mine which is my CRAFT MAKING. Yes, even in busy schedule, I work on my CRAFTS. This rejuvenates my energy and focus. Though I am a corporate employee on weekdays, I am a crafter every day. Hence, I LIVE every day.
Now let me tell you in my first blog how an art loving child in me became a craft making entrepreneur.
Just like most of the girls, I too was fond of arts and crafts since childhood. However, all my love of arts then used to be drawing and doodling. I still remember loving myself for drawing Living organisms in my Science Note books (funny isn't it! for a small girl like me that used to be the only place to project my drawing skills 😋).
Slowly, my love towards arts has immensely increased and it did not stop by admiring the arts and artists, it continued to trigger questions in me on art making and how to make these arts more better with MIDAS touch. Hence, every time when I bought or saw a greeting card, my heart used to voice out to me saying “this could have been more heart touching!". So yes, it all started there.
I never realized the actual crafter in me until one day, if I correctly remember, I believe it was in my 7th Standard, that first art which I learnt very seriously was "Quilling". I was taught this art during few of my “Art & Craft” classes. I very much loved that art, and little did I knew then that it will earn a special place in my heart in my later stages of life.
Then later I got busy like every other typical Indian student in studies and exams, but the crafter in me was always continued to live by making hand-made greeting cards to my friends. Later, after I got into my professional career in 2014, I joined a club by name "Voice Of Youth" at my work place and one of the activities of the club was to plan celebrations for the birthdays of the club members. One fine day, I had an idea of gifting a handmade card for every celebration and worked on it. I still remember that amazing day as the compliments and encouragement I received from all the club members was over whelming. Since then, my heart and brain continuously motivated me to start concentrating on it with more focus. And that’s when my baby was born - I started "Heartie Creations”.
So, all these love and passion which created my hobbies initially, later ignited me to start as a Creative Entrepreneur. I really feel amazing on how even my cursive handwriting practice sessions during my summer vacation in childhood now help me to write amazing content on the cards. May be this is the reason; wise people always say that no learning will go useless.
During the early days, the only place to promote my cards to the end users and customers was Facebook. (Thanks to Mark 😋) I always had an amazing group of friends who helped me in capturing my crafts and in the content to take them to the market. I would like to now thank everyone from bottom of my heart for encouraging me and supporting me to follow my heart. They played a key role in my journey of being an Entrepreneur. Now, I am managing all my orders and business through Instagram.
This is the first chapter of my journey – there is more to share 😊
I shall continue about my present life as a wife, IT person and a crafter in my next blog! You can follow my work on Facebook and Instagram, please find links in the blog.
