The Story Behind Craft Love Designs

Where It All Started

Craft Love Designs didn’t start with a grand plan—it started with me simply loving to make things. In my 20s, I ran this little pottery studio. It was nothing big, but it was where I learned the joy of turning raw materials into something meaningful. Back then, handmade crafts weren’t exactly a big deal, but I loved creating pieces that brought a little beauty into someone’s home.

Life took me in different directions after that—teaching, raising a family, navigating all the twists and turns—but I always found myself coming back to crafting. Eventually, I decided to take the leap and build something that combined my creativity with my love of connecting with people. That’s how Craft Love Designs came to be.

A Little About Me

Hi, I’m Lillian! I’m a mom, wife, educator, and maker who loves creating things that bring a little joy and individuality to people’s lives. I’ve always been a hands-on person, whether it’s crafting jewelry, designing decor, or finding new ways to make something unique. To me, it’s not just about what I create—it’s about the story and care behind every piece.

When I’m not in “maker mode,” you can find me cooking something fun, cheering on my favorite football team, or binging a good book or movie. I believe the little things in life matter most, and that’s where I find inspiration every day.

Today, Craft Love Designs is more than just a business; it’s a reflection of everything I love: celebrating life’s little moments, honoring individuality, and sharing the joy of handmade treasures. Thank you for being here and letting me be a part of your journey.

Why I do this?

For me, crafting is so much more than a job. It’s how I express myself, connect with others, and find joy in the everyday. There’s something magical about creating something from nothing—whether it’s earrings that make someone feel confident or decor that turns a space into a home. Craft Love Designs is my way of sharing that magic with others.

What Keeps Me Inspired

Crafting has always been my way of slowing down and enjoying the moment. Whether I’m shaping clay, painting, or designing something new, I love the process of creating. It’s never just about the end result—it’s about the little moments of discovery and creativity along the way.

At the end of the day, it’s the people who wear my jewelry, hang my decor, or gift my creations to someone special who inspire me most. Sharing a piece of what I love with others is what makes this whole journey worth it.
