Heart Felt Plush has the perfect gift for the child in your life, and those that are children at heart!

What/Who inspired you to start your craft?

I was actually inspired in a really unexpected way. In 1996, I belonged to a site called "the palace" and fell in love with the digital doll avatars. I started making my own digital dolls and joined a few forums where I could get advice and show off my pixels. I started my own website and had a member's where people could download all sorts of digital pixels. As life got busier, I slowly stopped digital drawing and didn't think about it much until about 4 years ago. I decided to take my digital dolls and turn them into something tangible, and Heart Felt Plush was born. For a couple years, they were just for family and friends and this year I decided to take it to the next level.

How did you get started on Etsy?

When I decided to start selling my dolls and plushies, Etsy was the only choice for me. I've been an avid crafter for years, so I already had a buyer membership to Etsy and have purchased from other sellers before. The transition to seller was quite easy.

What's your favorite item in your shop and why?

At this moment, my favorite item is the Halloween 'witch' leg decorations I have up. I just find them to be so cute, fun and girly. The candy corn material has a little glitter in it, I just wish it came across better in pictures.

What do you do in your downtime?

I actually don't have a lot of "downtime" Etsy isn't my full time job, so the time I spend crafting and making plushies is actually my "downtime".

What's a fun fact you want to share about yourself?

I graduated from college in 2009, with a BS in Game Art and Design. I am a total gamer nerd, and LOVE a good hack and slash :)

Tell us a little about yourself.

I am 40 years old and have 3 wonderful children. My oldest is in college this year, and my youngest is 11. I spent 8 years severing in the United States Air Force, and it was the best job I've ever had. I am a happy, positive person who always looks for the beauty in things and I've always been a crafter. When I was 9, my grandmother taught me how to crochet, and I would spend hours making clothes for my barbie's. I have a very active imagination, and love bringing joy to someone's life. My happiest day is when one of my customers sends me a message and tells me they love the item I made for them. They are my true reward <3
