Hi there! I’m Celinka, the founder and creator of My Little Heart, a handmade crochet accessories company based out of Southern California.
In 2011, I began to crochet up a storm for my newborn daughter and for many of my friends and their little ones. I loved creating things by hand, and I really loved how much joy something small and unique could bring to people. As the year went on, the requests for items from friends began to flood in, and my husband began to urge me to finally make the leap and start my own business.
In 2012 I launched My Little Heart, fulfilling a lifelong dream of having my own business. I started off by creating accessories for girls (and women) that were different than what I was finding in stores, but exactly what I was looking for. From there, I branched out into making a few accessories for boys as well. I now offer a growing line of stuffed lovies and decor (think dreamcatchers and garlands) in addition to the accessories.
I am inspired by every day life and the people around me, especially my beautiful and spirited toddler daughter. I get contacted frequently to create custom pieces, and I love how fun and inspiring trying to fulfill someone else’s vision while putting my own touch on it can be. I create my pieces using natural fibers like Peruvian Wool, Cotton, and Cotton/Linen blends. I adore the look and feel of natural fibers against the skin, and feel they make amazingly unique, beautiful, and long wearing pieces.
I find that nothing quite says “I care” and “You are special” like the perfect handmade gift. I love the extra time and details that go into things made by hand. There is a timeless and unique quality about these items. These are things with a real person and story behind them, things that can be shared for generations. I love being able to share the story behind the things I create, and I love that through social media like Facebook and Instagram, I can connect with both those buying my creations and the handmade community. That connection is something that inspires me and drives my passion.
