A little bit about myself

I´m a middle aged women with 4 cats and also mother to a teenager that finished Art School this year. I live in Portugal, a beautiful country that's the 2nd most cheapest countries for foreigners to live or visit but for locals it has become incredibly expensive. Our minimum wage is a joke and it isn't even enough to pay the rent for a one room apartment.

Since I was young I always dedicated myself to art as a hobby, mostly drawing and painting.

I worked mainly as a retail employee but my last job was at the Postal Service were I was a courier for my last working years before I got laid off.

At 40 I moved to Lisbon so my daughter could go to Art School but finding a job here turned out to be impossible mostly because of my age.

I went into deep depression but slowly recovered by starting a project that later became my little business.

These are my creations. I call them Emotional Support Voodoo Dolls. I make them out of unwanted fabrics, they're a handsize big and contain a magnet inside. So yes! They're also fridge magnets. Win, win!

Their purpose is to write your troubles on their little chest tag and one pin a day, send the bad mood away! You can choose any text you want up to 12 letters.

I've been making them for 7 years now and it gives me joy because they help people by making them laugh and happiness is something we must treasure in life, even if it's just for a brief moment.
