7 Bridges Soap Company

“At the farmers market, I was the only one with handwritten labels. “I’m dyslexic and not tech savvy,” I thought. Then my husband surprised me with a Munbyn printer. Overnight, gorgeous labels. The next week, I had a line. Two years later, I started a website. Without Munbyn, I may have given up. That printer took me from “homemade” to “professionally designed” at the push of a button.”

ASWS Fiber Studio

“My fiber art studio started with no name, no website, no plan — just a season of longing. Walking through infertility, I picked up yarn, needles, and hooks. Stitch by stitch, I made space: for grief and hope to breathe, to process, to keep going. I don’t know where this goes, and that’s okay. For now, it’s enough that it exists.”

Looped in by Jordyn

“I’m a mom of 3, work full-time in procurement sustainability, and launched my crochet business in 2026. My YouTube hit 1.8K subs in two months. My first market? $1,200+ in sales plus custom orders. Now I sell on Etsy and got a local newspaper feature. I’m humbled and proud — and excited to grow this soul‑filling endeavor, even in an uncertain world.”

“For 37 years, candy was my love language — I gave it away. People asked why I didn’t sell. Then cottage food laws made it possible. Last fall, I started small: hard candy, chocolate, peanut brittle. Then my marshmallows took off. Now my Munbyn printer turns every label into a story. Every label turns homemade into a full experience. It’s never too late.”

UGC-Happy Daisy Studio.jpg__PID:527dec6d-673a-4018-87b6-d2ef40b418b1

Happy Daisy Studio

“I sell my artwork on Etsy and donate $1 from each sale to an environmental nonprofit. My first sale to a stranger was my big highlight. That moment told me: small business can have a big heart. Now I package every order with care — and a little hope for the planet.”

Juju Creations.jpg__PID:4352dee4-3568-4d6a-bfe2-131c53824296

Juju Creations

“Late at night while my baby slept, I crocheted plushies, baby clothes, and bags. Seeing people genuinely excited about something I made with my own hands was my first highlight. Every order, every happy customer reminds me why I started. Juju Creations is my heart, stitched into every piece I make.”

denz’ studio

“My 16-year-old childhood dog started showing health complications. I shifted my business to keep her memory alive. Now my keychains and puppy plushies let customers carry a piece of her without even realizing it. Luckily she is still here, but my business is now about honoring her. That’s my first highlight.”

Coco’s Cookies.jpg__PID:0be67343-52de-4435-a89d-6abfe2131c53

Coco's Cookies

“At 34, the day I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I also received my business license for sugar cookies. Baking helped me slow down and enjoy life a little more. I’ve been using my thermal printer for every order since. My diagnosis turned into a sweet new path — one cookie at a time.”

CrochetByLiv.jpg__PID:e6734352-dee4-4568-9d6a-bfe2131c5382

CrochetByLiv

“I’m 18, autistic, and crochet is my art. My parents struggled to accept this as a career, but I built $2,000 in inventory. I have a YouTube channel, an Instagram, and an Etsy shop ready to launch. All my life I felt something missing — now I feel complete. This is just the beginning.”

Unforgettable Crafts.jpg__PID:52dee435-689d-4abf-a213-1c5382429605

Unforgettable Crafts

“After 13 years as a paramedic, I saw how important mental wellbeing is. Now alongside my HR job, I create handmade, eco-friendly home and body care products — candles, soaps, lotions — to encourage people to slow down, breathe deeply, and make space for moments of peace. That’s my hustle.”

My Small Business Story: From Hobby to Full-Time Hustle

By the Founder of Naire Custom

I’m a work-from-home mom and small business owner, and the founder of Naire Custom, where I create custom products like personalized cups, birthday party favors, and other made-to-order items.  What started as a creative outlet eventually grew into something much bigger than I ever expected.I’ve been crafting for over 20 years, but it was only six years ago that I decided to turn my hobby into a full-time business. The moment that truly sparked this change came during the pandemic. Like many families, we needed an additional source of income. At the same time, I realized how passionate I was about creating, and that gave me the confidence to take my side hustle seriously and turn it into a real business.

My brand focuses on creating desserts that feel fun, artistic, and personal while still giving customers a luxury experience.
