Behind the Scenes: Artist + Mostly Stay at Home Mom
Welcome to how I keep my sanity as a "mostly" stay at home mom to a spunky, rambunctious, rough and tumble little man! I'm also a part-time nurse since becoming a Mama.

It is debatable if our business helps me keep my sanity or adds more to the chaos of being a newer Mom. Some days I give myself a high five and others I have to go to bed when our little man does just so I can stay functioning. Some days no matter how exhausted I am I can't seem to shut my brain down from all the ideas to go to sleep and end up creating too late and taking that BLESSED shower late at night before falling into bed only to curse myself when the toddler sized alarm clock summons me in the morning far earlier than I would like.
This is my balance.
For as long as I can remember I have always been into creating things. I got back into tapping into my creative side more thoroughly after our wedding in 2019. With the encouragement of my husband, some close friends, and some family I finally signed up for my first craft fair on a whim that fall and immediately got to work on creating all sorts of different products. It mostly started out as some jewelry and metal art as I had already been creating those products for years for fun and for some random gifts and requests here and there.
After my first craft show I was hooked. In the process of getting ready I had a million ideas in my head and NEEDED to create them! N.E.W. Custom Creations Co LLC is ever evolving and constantly adding new products.
THIS is my therapy.
So I'd like to welcome you again. Come in. Take a look around. I hope you find something that brings you joy. Don't forget to contact us if you don't see exactly what you like as we would LOVE to create what you wish existed!
