Handmade With Heart

Handmade With Heart

Hi! I'm Dana and I run the small business Scrappy Stitch. I have met so many wonderful makers and have had some amazing conversations since I started my small business. I realized I wanted to share these conversations with other small businesses, so I decided to start the Handmade With Heart Podcast. Every month I scour the internet for micro and small businesses to feature on the podcast. We share stories, tips, and a LOT of laughs. So check your DMs - because I might be reaching out to YOU!
