Part 1/2⁣ 👸Jamie Connelly⁣⁣ 🦄 Doll maker @nomibelcreations ⁣⁣ 📍Copperopolis, CA⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🌸What's your career background?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I am a Bay-Area-career-girl turned small town stay-at-home mom, with a small farm and an Etsy business. I come from a background in culinary arts + fine dining in big cities.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🌸How did @nomibelcreations begin?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ When we moved out to our small rural community, I had a lot more time on my hands! I had sewn a felt bird mobile when I was pregnant with my first baby, and fell in love. As my friends became pregnant, I would make them cute little felties as their baby shower gifts. Eventually I realized my hobby was bigger than gifts for my kids and friends.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🌸What’s your personal motto?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ So many people wish they had the courage to put themselves out there...I say, go for it! There are negative Nancy’s but that doesn’t outweigh the positivity that comes from people who really enjoy your craft.

Part 2/2 with @nomibelcreations and the greatest assistant — her daughter 😍🥰⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ 🌸⁣⁣⁣What inspires you?⁣ ⁣ My two little girls. They have so much input in what I make. When a doll or feltie is purchased for shipment, they both hug it before it goes into the box and tell it to enjoy their new home.⁣ ⁣ 🌸 What does success look like to you?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I’m going to go ahead and already call my (teeny tiny) business a success. For a few simple reasons:⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 〰️It gives me purpose. Yes, I’m a mom, a wife, a farmer...I know I have tons of purpose already. But I come from long roots of worker-bees, and I need this to feel complete.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 〰️People *actually* enjoy something I create with my own hands! (This is the best part!)⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 🌸 How do you balance it all?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Sometimes I definitely feel like I’ve taken on too much. When my kids are hungry, I have a bloated goat, a down chicken, and a paid order that needs to go out. But my husband is so supportive and encouraging, and my girls are also such great helpers. 💕⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ #feltart #feltie #handmade #makersgonnamake #momboss #shop #local #shoplocal #shopsmall #ecofriendly #handmadetoy #babiesofinstagram

Part 1/2⁣⁣⁣ 👸 Grace Peck⁣⁣⁣ 🌸 Owner & Lead Artist at @littlescoutcreative⁣⁣⁣ 📍Jackson Hole, WY⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 🌸 Describe your art!⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I work in mostly watercolor, and alternate between commissions for other people (mostly pets + wedding stationery!) and pieces just for myself, typically of the landscapes and wildlife.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 🌸 When did you make the leap to opening a design studio & shop?⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I became a shop owner about 4 years ago, and started selling my art in the shop about 3 years ago (had to build up that confidence!) ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Owning a shop had always been one of those far away dreams. Making it come to life was more rewarding and challenging than I ever could have imagined!⁣⁣⁣ ⁣

Part 2/2 ⁣⁣@littlescoutcreative 🌸What does success look like to you?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Success to me is:⁣⁣ 〰️making beautiful art⁣⁣ 〰️running a shop that caters not just to visitors to Jackson Hole, but our beloved locals as well⁣⁣ 〰️and being the BEST mom that I can be to my son.⁣⁣ ⁣ 🌸 What motivates you?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Striking a balance [to accomplish the above] is really hard, but I want my son to grow up and be able to say that his mom worked her butt off but was also present!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🌸 Where do you find inspiration?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I find it in the natural world around me.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🌸 What’s your favorite morning routine to get the creative juices flowing?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 6 am coffee with my husband before our son wakes up, and a morning run. ♥️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #Jacksonhole #jacksonholewyoming #stationerylove #paperlove #dailydoseofpaper⁣⁣ #originalart #photoart #artoninstagram #explore #creative #createcultivate

For the past 3 weeks I have been OFFLINE. disconnected. sin weeefeeee.⁣ I’ve been all about friends & family. 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 Like taking part in my friend @jennifershumann proposal where this lovely pic was snapped. (Yes, i cried💕) 😭😍⁣ ⁣ My creativity hit an all-time high on this hiatus from tech. I thought a lot about the importance of people who add beauty and joy to this crazy sometimes scary world. ⁣ So I'm back and ready to interview more creatives & small biz owners!! 🌸 Y'all inspire and motivate me so much and I hope to share that with others. 💝 Much more to come!!! 📸: @rjewphotos

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣👸Stefanie⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 🌸Owner/Artist of @makeup_by_stefanie_ ⁣ 📍San Ramon, CA⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 🌸Describe your business!⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ I’m a traveling makeup artist for weddings, special events & photoshoots. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 🌸When do you feel most successful?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ When a client gives me positive feedback and refers me to someone — it’s what I depend on to grow my business!⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 🌸What’s your fave morning routine?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ I love checking my emails and responding to inquiries while watching makeup YouTube videos! It always motivates and inspires me for the rest of the day! ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 🌸What’s your favorite thing about running your own business?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ I love that I get to do something I’m passionate about! I’m a stay at home mom and I needed to do something where I had control over my hours. It feels really good to see all my hard work pay off after hustling to get started 3 years ago!⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 🌸Personal motto?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Never feel bad about how you feel. You have the right to feel any emotion you want and to do what makes you happy.💕⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #beautyblog #beauty #beautyblogger #makeup #makeupartist #makeupaddict #fashion #beautyguru #instabeauty #makeuplover #beautytips #hudabeauty #skincare #bblogger #bloggers #mua #bloggerlife #bloggerstyle #blogging #wakeupandmakeup #beautyaddict #beautybloggers #makeuptutorial #makeupjunkie #cosmetics #beautyjunkie #beautybloger #beautycare #beautyblogging
