Hi! I'm Kindra Crandell, the owner and designer of Clover Arrownautics. It all started last fall
when my husband and I took a Dave Ramsey's finance class through our church. We wanted
to start saving for our kid's future and ours and on one income that's very difficult. (I am a stay
at home mom and my husband is full time military). We knew we didn't want me working part
time or full time outside the home, so we needed to get creative. We had made these really
cool bow sets for our kids and their friends but never thought about selling them. (That all
started when our daughter was into the movie, Brave about 4 years ago and we looked into bow
and arrow sets at the stores, and they were all poorly made and quite expensive.) So we decided
to take some Christmas orders via Facebook and Instagram and ended up taking almost 100
orders in that first month!! After that, we decided to sell them at Moolala Boutique, the huge
children's consignment sale in Redlands and that was hit. Since then, it has just snowballed.
My husband who originally created our bows has shown and taught me everything, and now I do
80% of the work. I do about 1-2 shows a month and continue to sell via Facebook and Instagram.
It's truly been an amazing ride.
In addition to spending a lot of my time crafting and creating in our home, my family loves to travel and camp.
We have 2 children, Esther age 8 and Gideon almost 7 and they are big helpers with our little business. We also love
spending time with our animals, 2 dogs, 2 cats and 2 rabbits. I am also actively involved in our church, Sanctuary.
My husband and I head up our Couple's Ministry and I lead a morning women's bible study.
Clover Arrownautics has definitely made our life busier but blessed it tremendously. It's allowing me to say yes to
things like basketball and swim team and also meet the most amazing people.
Looking forward to being a part of Little Brown Bag again this December!!
