How it Began

Growing up in a different time than now, we did not always have the internet to play with nor lived in an urban area to make and play with lots of friends. My imagination took up a lot of my time to make up for casual boredom. As time went on, I found myself enjoying arts, music, and a sense of adventure. I was never the best at anything, but there was one thing I did know I was good at- multitasking and imagination. From then on, I learned all kinds of arts and crafts. I could never stick to just one idea or thought. I was always working on another project with another medium.

After years and years of practice, people took notice of my casual hobby and told me that what I made was worth something. I began to think on a larger scale- I want to keep making things but I can not keep everything I make as it would take up too much room, so why not sell the things I love and enjoy to make to those who could truly appreciate all the items I create? I then began brainstorming and doing research on what I could do and what would I call myself. I thought of using my last name originally, but my sister (who is a photographer) already used it. I thought to myself “I want to be original, I can not copy after her”. So then I thought deeper into who I was. The next thought was Pokémon related. I thought of calling my shop “Flare-On Crafts and Gifts” as I love Flareon so much (hence how we have a firefox logo now). But then I thought, well that makes me feel like all I would make would be Pokémon related items- and knowing myself I was always changing things up. So I pondered upon this even more.

Eventually, I came to my conclusion of what to call my shop. Most of my friend’s had a couple of nicknames for me, but one of them always really stood out and was easy for people to say. “Kit” was the name and it was a nickname I had started using since my early RPG days of Ragnaroke Online. My older sister and myself created it together and named my first ever character “Kit Funaki”. From then on, most of my online friends and even irl friends started to refer me as Kit. It felt so right and original to myself that I named my shop “Kit’s Craft Shop”; and since then, it has been a permanent name that I loved for my little craft shop.

In 2018, I officially opened up online shopping for Kit’s Craft Shop (I was just finishing college at the time- so I did not have a big inventory). By the time of Summer of 2019, I was attending local events with a full inventory of items I had created. Since then, I have opened several social media accounts and have partnered up with several other vendors and shop owners. I hope to continue exploring, experimenting, and enjoying my days as a craft vendor.
The mission for Kit’s Craft Shop is “to spread creativity and love through all creations” and I continue to do this every day.
