My Aunt Yvonne inspired me to crochet. She taught me how to use a crochet needle and start a chain, when I was 14.

How did you get started on Etsy?

I got started on Etsy after talking with local artist who started selling their work on Etsy. I loved that there was a place for handmade artist to make money doing what they loved.

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

My favorite items are my new fingerless gloves. They are my favorite because they are easy to make. They are also great for male, female, adults, and teens.

What do you do in your downtime?

In my downtime I crochet, bake, read, workout, and spend time with my family.

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

A fun fact I was to share is that I enjoy teaching crochet and baking to children and teens.
