Before Fussy Mussy Designs, Staci spent ten years working in sales. While she was on maternity leave with her first child, the company she worked for went out of business, and she decided to stay home with her baby.
At home she went back to the things she’d always loved: crafting and scrapbooking. When she made a photo block as a birthday gift, a friend saw it and talked her into taking a table at a local craft show.
Sold out, twice
She sold out the first day. She stayed up all night making more, and sold out again on the second day. Her husband encouraged her to do more shows, and so she did.
As the family grew, weekends at craft shows got harder to manage. “We prayed a lot about it,” and the answer was Etsy: a way to keep making from home, with the family close by.
“It has been a huge blessing to our family.”

Made by hand, one order at a time
Staci opened the Etsy shop in 2009. Today she is a stay-at-home mom of two, and she still makes every piece herself: laser-cut and engraved ornaments, wood signs, plaques and decals, stained and painted by hand. “I love a day of staining wood to start orders.”
More than 29,000 orders later, the shop holds a 5.0-star rating from over 6,100 reviews, and she is still “open to new ideas and custom requests.”
“We would love the opportunity to work with you to create something special.”
