I actually came up with the name "Tender Arts Studio" back in 2005 when I was making and selling lovely vintage style dolls. I still love the name, but I feel that I haven't lived up to the its potential. I've been saying I want a creative side business since way back and haven't really been successful in launching or sustaining it. 

Feedback welcome on the name! Maybe it is time to pivot. I have a blog that dates back to the beginning, but I hardly ever update it. It may be time for a change. 

I'm enjoying making unique tote bags lately and I've been thinking about selling them on etsy under a new name.
