Hi! My name is Crystal, I live in Orange County California, I’m a 30 plus something year old Registered Nurse who loves children, but has yet to pop out any of my own. Most people are shocked when they hear I’m childless yet create fun things for little ones. Let’s just say I keep a stash aside in a stuffed “someday,” tote. I’d like to say I have time management skills that are pretty darn amazing, after all its not easy running a handmade shop, working as a Nurse, family life, and all the usually daily tasks , but life is such and there just aren’t enough hours in any given day to do it all.
I opened the lil’ cupcake on etsy, in February 2010. The shop has had many facelifts, rebranding episodes, color changes and product transformations to keep up with the trends of all the stylish little ones out there. I love working with organic fabrics, sewing after a long day & taking time to plan out new product releases. I’m always drafting up new ideas, and looking for awesome ways to give back to our community, whether its donating awesome handmade goods, participating in fundraisers or adding a little something extra in a package to make someones day, it makes this wild ride all worth while.
I’m undiagnosed OCD, I think its more of a perfectionist trait, rather a true compulsion. I do love a tidy work space, but that usually lasts about 10 minutes. I think packaging is key to putting the finishing touches on any handmade item that I’m shipping off to my customers. Oh, by the way, I have the most amazing customers, without them, there would be no lil’ cupcake. My current fav’s in the shop are the organic teething rings, diaper straps, headband wraps, and anything created with those amazing unique organic cotton knit fabrics I love so much. I can’t wait to release new items I have up my sleeve, and hope that this little ole’ business of mine will continue to grow, hope you’ll all follow along this wonderful journey and find something in the shop you’ll LOVE
