Crafty Moms Create Income Producing Hobbies
They call her the Mum Lady, but Veronica Lozano doesn’t mind. The full-time working mother of three girls has created a side business by making homecoming mums for students in the Kingwood-Humble area. The idea started with one request and soon blossomed into a makeshift mum factory in her home selling hundreds of mums every fall.
“What started out as a fun hobby has turned into a profitable business throughout the years,” Lozano explained.
Wendy Jones also uses her crafting skills to make what she calls her family fun money. The stay-at-home mom specializes in making diaper cakes, something that doesn’t take a whole lot of work, but is a hot seller. She also recently expanded her business to include homemade bows and blankets.
“I am a crafty person,” Jones said. “I have always done crafts and things for my kids, so I thought why not put it to use?”
“Honestly you have to put your heart in it,” Lozano said. “In everything I do I put my heart in it.”

I think it is always the best business idea to create your business out of an existing hobby of your’s. You obviously know how to create the product the best way you can, you enjoy doing it otherwise it wouldn’t be a hobby, and what better way to work and make money than by doing something you love and have loved for years!
