1. When did you start crafting? Why?I can't actually remember a specific starting time. I think it's just something I've always liked and picked up from the art projects we did at school. I actually think that's a big part of why I decided to become an elementary teacher, my job is to create... (create ways to get students to learn, to behave, to respect each other, etc.) I really started to teach myself to sew when I was in college, so at about the age of 21 or so. I just kept trying new things although I still don't consider myself very advanced. I've dabbled in lots of different things like carving stamps and lampworking that I've learned from my boyfriend but the sewing seems to be the one that stuck.
2. What is your favorite item in your shop and why?
I love making the vinyl pouches because picking out paper prints is just as fun as picking out fabric prints. I run in phases but those are my favorite right now.
3. What is your favorite Etsy shop, besides your own?
That's really tough. I helped my boyfriend set up his lampworking shop Inedibleglass but my favorite new shop to purchase from is probably this soap shop RachelRene because the bars are huge and smell awesome! I just found her but I'm sure to go back for more soap!
4. What is the best Etsy purchase you have ever made?I just bought a coat for my Great Dane from CozyHorse. I haven't gotten it yet but I'm super excited because my poor dog just doesn't have enough fur, even for California winters. I purchased this wallet from Tinymeat over two years ago though and it's still running strong! Love this thing! http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=129598
5. Tell us something fun about yourself. Anything!!!
I'm sorta in the process (a long and slow one) of restoring a 1962 Volvo 122s. They look like derby hats! I can't wait till I become known as the teacher with the weird old car!
