Hi! I’m Angelica T (pronounced an-jelli-ca), but I normally go by Angie for most people—with the exception of my mom, who shortened my name to Jelly when I was little and has called me that ever since.

She taught me how to knit and crochet at a pretty young age (like 10), because I kept asking her to make hats that I could sell to my friends wanting to wear mine. Unfortunately, I never ended up making them hats (sorry, everyone!) as I didn’t start crocheting seriously until after college.

In school I was always known for wearing “fun” earrings, but after joining the 8-4 office workforce, I had to really scrutinize what jewelry could be passed off for “whimsically professional” and which ones were just “crazy earrings”. From wearing Claire’s rubber duckie earrings in 5th grade to selling my own handmade jewelry for fun adults, little Jelly will always love cool earrings.
