Confessions of a Midnight Crafter: Late Nights and Glitter Dreams

Ever find yourself staring at a tumbler press at 1:47 AM… wondering how many cups of coffee it’ll take to survive tomorrow? 😅 Yeah,  same.

Welcome to the world of a midnight crafter. 🖤

When you run a handmade business, especially from home (while being a wife, a mom, and all the things), your work hours don’t always look like a 9 to 5. They look more like 9 PM to “oh wow, is that the sunrise?” 🌅

And you know what? I kind of love it.

In the quiet of the night, when the house is finally still…
🎨 My creativity flows freely.
🎧 My playlist gets weird (in the best way).
✨ And the glitter somehow ends up everywhere, even places it definitely shouldn’t be.

Those late-night hours are when I design your custom tumblers, press those memory wind spinners, prep keychains, and get lost in the process of creating something truly personal for you.

It’s not always glamorous, there are paint-stained tees, snack wrappers, and to-do lists longer than bedtime stories. But there’s magic here, too. In the stillness. In the sparkle. In the satisfaction of finishing a project with my own two hands.

So here’s to:

• The late-night dreamers

• The moms building empires from their kitchen tables

• The makers with messy buns and big hearts

If you’re one of them — I see you. 💖
And if you’re one of my amazing customers — thank you. YOU make those midnight hours worth it.
