For those that acknowledge the sentiments of this day…..

Thank you for stopping by and welcome to my space.

Why Valentine Handmade?

Well, I am a Valentine by name and I love to make beautiful things with my hands.

I never really knew that working with my hands was such a sweet spot for me. Growing up, it wasn’t pointed out, talked about or encouraged. I didn’t necessarily happen upon this revelation until I was good and grown. I guess it really doesn’t matter when you learn of your giftings. What matters is what you do with them once you know. Sometimes, you have no clue blessings are pursuing you until they just show up like “BAM”!

Visiting me here is a great idea if you want to….

• see one-of-a-kind items made from up-cycled materials

• see items made from new, natural materials such as cotton, linen, silk, wool and leather

• get a peek into my creative process 

• see fun items for children to encourage play

• see how I fell in love with color and use African print fabric for clothing and other items

• see items created with my daughter’s exclusive fabric line (Yes, she is a 9 year old that happens to design fabric when it strikes her fancy, lol)

• see lots of hearts (I LOVE HEARTS!)

With Love,

Tamika
