What inspires you?
colors, nature, my dreams
What do you love most about what you do?
the freedom of being my own boss and seeing people wearing my pieces
Is Etsy part-time, full-time, or hobby for you? How do you balance it with everything else?
I would say etsy is part time, if you are talking sales wise. It is hard to balance it with life and craft shows, but it is something I set time aside for every day. I try to not let it interfere with family time, so you hardly ever see me online in the evenings.
What are your top favorite blogs or websites?
etsy of course, then I like to google trends, so I can try to keep up to date (like: http://daily.stylebakery.com/)
What are your current projects?
Getting ready for a huge festival that draws in over 250,000 people in our area. So we are working on lots of ugly glass and some new beaded pieces as well.
How did you get started w/your Etsy shop (what made you open it)?
I lost my job and was forced to do something. I did craft shows and that was it, so I wanted something for my pieces while they were just sitting in the bags. And I opened my second shop to help get rid of some destash supplies I had.
