Those little labels that say “haekelmonster.com” are an early Christmas present to myself this year, and I have to admit – they bring me an unexpected, almost guilty kind of joy. Every time I attach one to something I’ve made, there’s this thrill, a tingling, goosebump-inducing moment of satisfaction.
I know, I know – it’s pure vanity, a little indulgent, but it feels so good.
There’s something incredibly rewarding about seeing your own mark on a handmade piece, a small, personal signature that says, yes, this came from me. It’s nothing big, but it makes all the time and care I put into creating feel even more special.
