Cute Delights Official Models and Inspiration

I am a mother of two beautiful daughters.  They are my inspiration and motivation in this craft business.  At first, I thought, I just wanted to make hairbows for them, so that they would feel more special.  Handmade crafts make someone more special.  But eventually, I thought of selling my craft outputs.  Other kids may also feel extra precious when they wear my handcraft hairbows.

My first-born daughter is the shy type.  I am always having hard time taking a photo of her with my hairbows.  However, she was in the mood during a product photoshoot, that's why I was able to upload a good picture of her.

My last-born daughter is the active type.  She always looks at the camera whenever someone takes a picture of her (but not smiling, since she is still a baby and not yet aware of smiling for the camera). She loves it whenever I put a hairbow on her hair.

Aside from my two little ladies, I also have another model who actually acts as my main "mannequin" when both of my girls are not in a good mood for a product photoshoot. Meet the Brown Bear, a gift for my first-born from her grandparent.  She looks perfect with my handcraft hairbows! Look!

Brown Bear will be busy later for more product photoshoot.  Until next blog!

Something Cute. Something Delightful.

If I had to enter the world of entrepreneurship, I should be passionate about the business I plan to create.  Sounds easy, but the hard part is to ask myself of my passions.  What am I passionate about? What do I want to do that would make me fulfilled and happy?

Writing, serving the people--- those are some of my passions which I applied in the past years of my life, both in school and in my corporate life before.  I still like to do them now even when I decided to be a full time stay at home mom.  But what I needed was a passion that would complement my new lifestyle as a mother of two darling and beautiful girls.

Inspiration struck me.  I always wanted my daughters to feel they are special to me.  I cannot anymore buy them expensive toys or pretty dresses eversince I quit my job.  But what I can do now is to give them emotional support and bring them up to be confident and happy in life.  One of the life's tricks I learned in my 33 years of living in this modern world, a person's appearance brings positivity in his or her life.  So if a person looks and feels beautiful, it radiates confidence and it attracts joy. (Some may not agree with me, but it's okay.  This is my life lesson, anyway).  Though I know my kids are beautiful just the way they are, without make up and glitz, I wanted to make them something to accentuate their beauty and put positivity in their lives.

I wanted to create something for them to show my extra-mile love for them.

A flashback of my youth suddenly appeared into my mind.  My youth when I created things--- anything---for myself.  I did not have many toys back then, even accessories, so I have to be resourceful.  I created my own toys and accessories.  No one would remember that except me, because I was not popular back then.  I created crafts at home just for my own pleasure.

Now that I have kids--- daughters at home, I can now pursue that passion.  And by making it a profitable business, it means I could also put positivity in the lives of other kids.  My handcrafts would make them feel extra special, extra loved, and extra beautiful.  My handcrafts would radiate joy in their lives.

So I decided to start this small business of handcrafting something cute and something delightful.  Something that would highlight every girl's beauty.  Something that would make them glee.  That would make me fulfilled and happy.

My online shop, Cute Delights Crafts and Shoppe was born on the day I found my crafting passion once more.
