Welcome to Fluff & Stuff Goods Co.
Welcome to Fluff & Stuff Goods Co. my name is Michaela Hartman. I am a former teacher. I created this business this summer after making the difficult decision to leave teaching after the 2023-24 school year. Teaching was draining me in the worst ways and I began sewing to find something to bring me peace in addition to creating clay earrings. I was extremely anxious all of the time, had major Sunday scaries, and cried a lot of tears. That was quite possibly one of the hardest decisions that I ever had to make. I thought I wanted to be a teacher since I was about 5 years old. It felt like I was letting myself, the kids, and others down. However, this summer when I began brainstorming jobs that I could do next, my fiancé said, “Why don’t you give selling your handmade items a try and see what happens? I don’t see you necessarily thriving in a corporate world setting and you love doing crafts & sewing.” So here we are, giving this a try. I mean this from the bottom of my heart, I am seriously so grateful for all forms of support of this small business (sharing my photos and reels), commenting just to say you like something, and buying items. It means the absolute world to me and I hope I can live out this dream! Love you all! (I MEAN IT)

Fitz (Fitzgerald)
I am a 3 and a half year old mini petite Aussiedoodle. You can find me in my mums office napping on the job, giving her opinions on fabrics, testing bandanas for her, barking at sounds that she needs protected from, and being a geniune good boy. I am adventurous and love when I get to play with kids. I am sometimes nicknamed the couch gremlin because I can be very protective of the couch. I recently had surgery for my luxating patella and now I am currently recovering & doing rehab for it. When I am released and all better I will be zooming through our yard again like nothing happened! Beware though, I occasionally dart out of doors.
Archie (Archibald)
I am a 1 and a half year old mini Bernedoodle. You can find me in my mums office dancing with her, curled up in my bed, standing on my back legs to look out the window and fending off any intruders (such as neighborhood walkers), occasionally chewing on things, and modeling for my moms silly little flag things that go around my neck. I come across as a lot but it’s all love, I just don’t know how to contain it. I could never run away from my hoomans. My parents often call me their “velcro dog". You will not find another dog who loves toys as much as me. I am notorious for carrying my toys out to our backyard when I want to go outside.
Why Fluff & Stuff Goods CO.?
My dogs are my children. I love them so much and I wanted to include them in my business in someway. No we are not just a dog brand but also a human goods brand as well. Meet our K9 Besties above, Fitz and Archie.
Why should I shop Fluff & Stuff Goods Co.?
I strive to have as minimal waste because we only have one Earth and we need to treat her well. You will notice some products are labeled “upcycled” or “scrap”. This typically means the fabric was used to make another item and instead of wasting the extra unused fabric I used it to make the item. The other thing this may mean is I thrifted this from a thrift store and made you something out of someone else’s scraps they donated to a local second hand or thrift store. I also enjoy donating items to good causes so if you have a fundraiser I am most likely willing to donate an item to your cause. If you are not satisfied with our products please reach out and we will make adjustments if needed!
