| Marcia Newson (not pictured) is a stay-at-home mom to three children and is the sole owner of "CreationsbyRubyLLC" which she started on February 20, 2020. Her work ranges from "bridesmaid" scratch offs, custom mugs, t-shirts or anything she puts her mind to. |
 |
| "Will you be my bridesmaid" scratch offs Marcia made herself for her friend who plans on getting married sometime next year. |
 |
| "This is what I use for pretty much all of my t-shirts" says Newson. Outside of her office which is located in her home, she primarily works downstairs. |
 |
| Marcia is a new mom for the third time and what she calls her last time. JaVonna Newson was born April 1, 2020. "I'm not bored" she says when she was asked how does it feel to be a stay-at-home mom while running a business. |
 |
| "As you can see this is what I do pretty much all day." Marcia continues to tell me her daily routine as she prepares a small meal for her and the kids. |

 |
| "I can do a lot more stuff if you need me to." As Marcia moves around, JaVonna is taking "cat naps" as her mom describes them. "She doesn't like not being held for long. Vonna likes to move around too." |
 |
| Before she finishes the laundry she started earlier in the week, Marcia prepares white rice and green beans as sides for dinner. |
 |
| "So pretty much this is what I do on a daily basis. Like I said before I don't get bored really." Marcia and Jamin (not pictured) have been married almost a decade. |
 |
| Marcia holds JaVonna as she fell asleep walking upstairs. Jamari and Jalia are being watched by her aunt as Marcia does what she needs to do for the day. |
 |
| Marcia and her family are from Georgia. Jamin (not pictured) and Marcia a few years after they married, moved to New York while Jamin was stationed in the military. |
 |
| After a few years of being back in their home state, Marcia says that they are looking to move as the family has expanded. |
 |
| Downstairs in their home is a studio she and her husband share. As mentioned above, Marcia owns "CreationsbyRuby". Both Marcia and Jamin have hobbies in entrepreneurship. Jamin has a hobby producing beats and music. |
 |
| JaVonna wakes from one of her naps on the way down to the studio as Marcia cleans the studio space. "I've been trying to clean the studio for a while, it's just been hectic." |
 |
| "CreationsbyRuby does t-shirts, glass mugs, throw blankets or anything I can make", says Marcia. This is a recent project that she is working on for a client who does nails. The client's business is called @touched.by.et . |
 |
| The t-shirt that Marcia is making for her client includes a balled fist showing off its nails. This is the laminate material that she uses to cut out the design. |
 |
| Marcia tends to her now two-month-old baby girl as she works on the design for the nail company. |
 |
| "I don't have a favorite thing to make", Marcia says laughing. "I don't only make tumblers or t-shirts, I make puzzles and jewelry too." |
 |
| "I don't care about working while she nurses, it's natural" says Marcia. As mentioned she did not mind having her picture taken while she nursed JaVonna. |
 |
| Marcia finishes the black hand design for her client as JaVonna nurses. "I like being an entrepreneur, it allows me to have a creative eye", says Marcia. |
