Welcome to Inside the Little Nest
A blog exclusively for my handmade business-the little nest!Please, Welcome Lizzo
People have asked me often to make Lizzo themed magnets and patches. I have repeatedly said no. It’s not because I don’t like Lizzo. I love her! But it feels really icky to me to make money off of a current Black woman’s fame. I honestly don’t know how to really...
My Happy Place
Something that I’ve really been thinking about since Thanksgiving is how I’ve turned my coping mechanism into a business. To escape abuse as a child, I created a fantasy world. Anytime I felt unsafe, I’d go there in my mind. It’s a coping mechanism that I still use to...
Rainbows Everywhere

How Do You Describe Your Brand?
I recently had to answer this question on an application for an event. The question stopped me in my tracks. It seriously took me an hour to write out an answer. My partner, Courtney, is a genius with words. Like seriously, she is a Word Picasso. So, I of course,...
Make Us Dance
