Calico Bear Crochet

My story started in 2021 right in the middle of the pandemic. I was working a very stressful job with coworkers who were let's say less than ideal. I would go in at 6am and leave around 8pm usually heading home either coming down from a panic attack or in the middle of one. In April 2021 one of these attacks landed me in the hospital. It was a real wake up call for me. I realized at that point that the job was no longer worth it. I left the job that summer and found a new one, an adorable candy shop in my hometown. While I was there I rediscovered my passion for customer service as well as my true passion and authentic self. At my old job I was always forced to hide my personality and conform in order to be accepted. My new job allowed me not only to be myself but to have more time for the things I enjoy. Thus allowing me to combine my favorite things! Creating things and making people smile. With my shop I like to say I make gifts for every personality; everyone should be able to enjoy the things that make them happy, and I love all of my products to be high quality fun gifts that can put a smile on your face!
