Hey, crafty fam! 🎨✨ I’m super excited to share a sneak peak of what I’ll be bringing to the Lightfoot Farm Market in December! Over the next few weeks, I’ll be showcasing my handmade goodies right here. If something catches your eye, give it a like so I know to whip up more. And I want to hear from you—drop a comment if you’d love to see any designs in different colors or styles!

Each piece is lovingly created by me on my trusty embroidery machine, featuring designs from my favorite women digitizers (because we’ve got to support our own!) and myself. I can’t resist a design that screams my vibe!

Also, I’m opening up custom Christmas orders from now until the end of November—just keep in mind I might close the orders early if I get too swamped. So don’t wait too long to snag your spot! Thank you all for your support! 💖

👉 Dive into the blog post to learn all about FSL and get inspired for your next project! https://craftymotherhustler.com/2024/10/freestanding-lace-lowdown/

Freestanding lace (FSL) embroidery is a unique technique where lace designs are stitched onto a dissolvable stabilizer, leaving only the lace pattern to stand on its own once the stabilizer is gone. This technique opens up a world of possibilities, from jewelry like earrings and necklaces to ornamen...

Who needs sleep when it’s crafting time? These are gingerbread Christmas tree FSL (freestanding lace) earrings that I designed and digitized and I’ll be selling @ lightfoot farms market. I’m working on a snack cake version soon 😉

23/10/2024

Working on product photos! These are all creations made and digitized by me, and the designs will be listed on my Etsy shop for anyone with an embroidery machine. You’ll also find these products at my next craft fair at Lightfoot Farms! A lot of people ask me what does digitized mean? Embroidery digitizing is the process of using embroidery software to transform artwork into an embroidery design file that can run on an embroidery machine to create stitches. I have invested years into learning this skill on top of a lot of money in software and I intertwined my graphic design knowledge into creating designs. It’s something that I really love and have taken a break from for several years and now I am excited to get back to stitching and designing! I can’t wait to share all my creations with you.

I will be selling a limited number of patches because they take a lot of time on my single needle, but they are also super fun. This is in dedication to my girls and their sense of humor. 😂

22/10/2024

Made this cute cat paw bookmark! I am going to put vinyl tassels on these but I couldn’t wait and made one with yarn and of course my daughter already stole it 😆 the yarn is fitting for a cat though!

21/10/2024

What's everyone making today? I am spending the next month prepping for a craft fair with lots of snap tabs, bookmarks, earrings, and more! I'll share pictures soon. In between stitching, I'll be working on digitizing designs for my Etsy shop. I can't wait to share a lot of fun things with you this week.

Exhausted after a corn maze, but rocking my blue pumpkin earrings that I made that match my pumpkin shirt. They are so cute!

I just finished making these bag tags! I can’t wait to offer them at my next craft market. I can customize it with your favorite team, player or numbers. For my embroidery followers, I’ll be adding this ITH design to my Etsy shop soon. What other sports would you like to see?

My cute little bee keychains and baseball eyelet I digitized today. The kitty b***y I stitched out came from OWTT (off with their threads) 🤣 I’m going to add some cute glass baseball beads to the baseball keychain soon and make it into a bag tag. I can add a name or number to the design either for the digital design for those of you with an embroidery machine or for the finished stitched design! The bees I’ve been modifying all day to get the best stitch out possible. Phew 😮‍💨

16/10/2024

I have some super cute hardware I’m going to add to this bag tag/keychain! I digitized this myself and stitched it out today, and it turned out better than I imagined. The greatest thing is that there is room to add a name or number to the baseball/softball!

I'm having fun making products again, but in between craft fairs I will be working on updating my website and digital designs. If you're new around here, let me introduce myself:

Well, hey y’all! I’m Angie, the brains and busy hands behind Crafty Mother Hustler. If you’re wondering what I’m all about, pull up a chair and let me tell you. I’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember, but I really found my groove in graphic design with over a decade of experience under my belt. Back in 2012, I got bit by the embroidery bug, and I’ve been hooked ever since. After stepping back to raise my daughters (because, let’s be real, that’s a full-time gig in itself), I realized I missed the hustle, the creativity, and that little spark embroidery brings me.

Now, I’m back and ready to pick up right where I left off, but this time with a mission: helping other women turn their creative passions into businesses. That’s how Crafty Mother Hustler was born, y’all! I’m here to help you dream it, craft it, and sell it, whether it’s embroidery or whatever crafty passion lights you up. So grab your sewing needles, hot glue guns, or whatever you fancy, and let’s get hustlin’, because there’s nothing a crafty mama can’t do!
