Stealthy Dog Creations, LLC was created on May 4, 2023, in honour of my late dog, Scamp. He was my first dog, and I always loved him. It has been over ten years since he departed from us, but that wonderful fluff-ball will never be forgotten. That handsome wolf-like face on the logo is actually Scamp when he was a few years old.
The name was originated from my Geocache name, StealthyDog, from when I was thirteen. I thought, "yeah, this would be a decent name for my company." I always wondered what it would be like to run a business, and yes, it was difficult to start.

Grumpy but lovable!🥰
While I do have a strong background in science, I liked doing arts and crafts as a hobby. Recently, I became hooked on a different style of art called Diamond Art. This form of art takes general paintings and generates into a diamond art where you stick thousands of tiny diamond beads to create something magnificent. I ended up getting so many extra diamonds from the framed diamond art, that I started making my own knick-knacks (magnets and boxes). Eventually, I also want to turn some of my photographs into diamond art.
I also learned how to knit chunky-yarn blankets during my undergraduate years at IUPUI. One of the clubs I was part of gave us the opportunity to volunteer to make chunky yarn blankets for children at the Riley Children's Hospital. I loved making it so much, that I also made one for my grandmother. I wanted to keep making them, but chunky yarn is very expensive. Thanks to everyone who supported this business, we are now able to make blankets for children at Sheltering Wings.
On December 30, 2023, I published my first children's fiction book, Popcorn Fiasco. This book is part of a series called In the Doghouse, featuring a family of dogs (can you tell that dogs are my favourite?) that go on crazy adventures inside and outside of their home. There really is no rhyme or reason to the stories, but just something fun to read every now and then. Some of the stories are inspired by some event (usually minor) that happened in my past, then are strongly exaggerated for entertainment purposes. The books may be labeled for ages 9 - 12, but they are fun for everyone, even adults.
