About Us
Stitched under starlight.
Handmade by Mary Mock and Andrea Simón.
Dragons, wolves, and a little bit of moonlight in between.
Who we are:
Luna Astraea Crafts is two of us — Mary and Andrea — plus our families, our kitchen tables, and an embroidery machine.
Mary brings the dragons. Andrea brings the wolves. Together, our families bring the stars and the moon. That's not just marketing - it's actually how we split the work. Mary designs and stitches the dragon pieces, Andrea handles the wolves.
We make embroidered patches, hanging signs, articulated dolls, crocheted hats, bookmarks, and — increasingly — whatever someone asks us to make next.
How we got here
You might have known us as Cozy Dragon Boutique. Same two crafters, same kitchen tables, same general love of dragons and wolves and small handmade things.
We rebranded to Luna Astraea Crafts because the work was outgrowing the old name. Cozy Dragon was perfect, but as the shop grew, we wanted a name that left room for everything else - the wolves, the seasonal signs, the custom orders that come in from totally unexpected directions, the celestial stuff we keep getting drawn back to.
Luna for the moon. Astraea for the stars.
Together, the night sky we both keep ending up in.
How we make things
Everything in this shop is stitched on our home embroidery machines, one piece at a time. We pick the threads, we run the machines, we hand-finish the edges, we pack the orders.
That means a few things are true that aren't true of mass-produced craft work:
Variations show up. A thread sitting slightly differently, a color leaning a touch lighter or darker batch to batch. We think it makes each piece its own, but if you're expecting a flawless factory finish, we're not the right shop.
Custom orders are actually custom. When someone asks for a deep-forest dragon with a copper tassel, or a hanging sign that reads "Welcome to the Lake House," Mary and Andrea actually sit down and make that thing. No drop-shipping, no print-on-demand, no third-party fulfillment.
And things take the time they take. We stitch in the evenings and on weekends, around day jobs and kids and everything else. A custom piece usually runs about two weeks from approval to ship. We'd rather be honest about timing than overpromise.
Why we do it this way
We keep getting asked if we're going full-time with this. The honest answer: maybe, eventually, but only if it stays fun. So far, still fun.
That's the actual operating principle of the shop. Growth is welcome; the kind of growth that turns a craft we love into a job we resent is not. So we keep the batches small, we keep custom orders open, we keep the kids "helping" with packing (read: stealing the tissue paper to make hats), and we keep going.
