Podcast: Authenticity Wins With Automation
I had the unique opportunity to do a podcast across the ocean with a former colleague and entrepreneur I greatly respect. His name is Lukasz Lazewski of LLInformatics in Warsaw Poland. He has not only made my company possible through the donation of development time, but he has invested his expertise, and has pushed me forward. I was just waking after dropping children at school, while he was…
Lights, Camera…we’re on TV (twice).
Over 1,000 hourly visits, numerous sales, and several new blog and social media followers has my heart full thanks to Minnesota LIVE. It’s pretty incredible to be given the opportunity to appear on a local news station to talk about what you do, why you think it matters, and how others can be involved or supportive. What I didn’t anticipate was how authentically appreciative the Minnesota live…

Fueled by Rainbows & Sparkles: how to sell art with heart
I’m a pretty serious person. I don’t believe my art conveys that, but it is absolutely the driving force beneath everything I invest my energy into. I want my creations to spark meaningful conversations in unexpected places. A Desktop Party Pocket (pictured here) that kicks off an important chat at work, for example. Or, our Volunteer made Med(icine) Snugglers donated and sold with personal…
Hidden Gem - Magazine Article
I received an email from a local magazine, Voyage Minnesota, asking if I would like to share about my journey to launching Tiny Art With Heart. I immediately assumed they wanted money or they would add me to some creepy email list that would be shared with a thousand people….there had to be some sort of catch 😳 Why else would they want to know about my little company? I diligently looked into…

The Great Ask: the introverted entrepreneur
Making “the ask” has become a regular thing as a new board member for a children’s theatre, a Jewish educational nonprofit, and as a new business owner. It turns out, your voice projects with ease, and the woo follows, if the ask is authentic and something you are truly passionate about – even if you’re an introvert. Makes sense, of course, yet I was still surprised by the confidence expressed…

So Many Messages of Kindness
I cannot believe how many messages of kindness we have to share into the world. The joy, thoughtfulness and humor in them is so inspiring. I hope those who receive these donated Med Snugglers (the art) will feel the same when they read these messages (the heart) and feel that the community around them cares more than they might think.

The $750 Coffee Cup
$750? A coffee mug certainly could not have such a value? Or could it? This coffee mug is for Super Volunteers only. These volunteers have created and donated 50 or more pieces of Tiny Art With Heart. So, why the high price? We value each art donation at $15 (though we selfishly think it’s priceless). Thus, a donation of 50 items means a donation value of $750. You may think – volunteering is…

Pure Authentic Enthusiasm
I saw pure, authentic enthusiasm from caring middle schoolers today… They could so easily understand (better than most adults) how they could have an impact on a peer’s life by spending their time intentionally creating, both through words and crochet, a gesture of kindness with Med Snugglers. When I spoke about my background in mental health administration and that I helped the helpers…

Time to Compete
Last weekend I was approached at a market by a woman who encouraged, no insisted (more than once) that I compete for a specific funding opportunity. Having her approach me, threw gas on a fire that had been previously pretty well lit 🔥(see post here). Today, the words for the mission and vision are the clearest they have been in articulating how what we hope to do is unique and meaningful. The…

Female MacGyver
Since I was a little girl, I have turned turned things into new things… I once took an old metal vaccuum hose, put a rope through it and hung it like a trapeze in a tree (I had little oversight being my parents owned a mom & pop resort). I cut flowers out of a Kleenex box and glued them on a piece of paper and I wrote a short poem to give to my mom. I hammered holes into like one hundred beer…

I Will Never Make Money, I Was Told
Have you ever pursued an idea? One that you couldn’t get out of your mind? Did someone tell you it would never make money? Same. Jessica Alba, creator of the Honest brand, worded it so well… “People just saw me as this girl in a bikini in movies kicking butt — maybe not the brightest bulb.” Same. Only I worked my butt off, I didn’t kick any. And my apparel was more of a…

Can Crochet Improve Your Mood? This Study Says…Yes.
Many people will say that hobbies and past times are ‘good for you.” However, an international study in 2021 sought to validate if this was true, specifically looking at crochet. There were 8,391 respondents involved in the study across several countries. Nearly all of those involved identified as women, who were between the ages of 41 and 60, and who had been crocheting between 1-5 years. An…
