The who, what, why, and WTF behind the It.

Black and white ink illustration of a gritty, chaotic workspace. An open planner labeled “Deadlines & Dark Lines” sits beside a crumpled note that reads “Laid Off and Lost It,” a coffee mug that says “Crafting Darkness in the Land of Light Beer,” a burning cigarette in an ashtray, a cracked crystal ball, a vintage microphone, scribbled budget notes marked “Coffins,” and scattered cat paw prints across a stained, textured desk.

<h3 style="white-space:pre-line">Raised on sarcasm.</h3>
<h3 style="white-space:pre-line">Fueled by caffeine, Nicotine, and too many true crime podcasts.</h3>
<p>I’m a single mom who got laid off and decided it was time to stop waiting and start making the damn thing I always wanted: a business built on creativity, darkness, and a little rebellion.</p>
<p>Midwest &amp; Making It is my home for gothic printables, chaotic rants, and unapologetic vibes — because not everything needs to be beige and blessed. I like black. I like bats. I like when things get a little weird.</p>
<p>I cuss too much, drink when I’m stressed, smoke when I shouldn’t, and make stuff that people like me actually want to use. If that’s you? You’re in the right place.</p>
