Welcome New Members!

[Wirelings]

Let's all introduce ourselves! Please write a little about yourself, your goals, what you hope to get out of this team, a link to your shop and post ONE of your favorite items from your shop.

I'll go first:

My name is Michelle. I run a handmade shop called Wirelings. I've had some ups and downs so far but I'm really enjoying it here on Etsy. I am married with three chihuahuas: Gizmo, Trinket, and Mocha. I have two other Etsy shops: MichellesAntiquities and SableSoaps.

My goal on Etsy is to generate income so I can support my family.

My goal in this team is to provide a nice place where people can get advice, promote and feel like part of a team.

[MichiganMadeUSA]

My name is Kelly. I am a single mother and grandmother who has been disabled for many years. I just opened a shop today featuring an assortment of items handcrafted in Michigan by myself, my sisters, and a few of my friends.

My goal is to earn enough money here to help out with the bills since my disability always leaves me short at the end of the month. I don't have much in my shop yet, but will be adding more as I have time. Right now I am just trying to get things set up correctly.


I came here looking for any advice I can get that will help me get off to a good start here on Etsy, and to get to know some of my fellow Etsy sellers.

My name is Nastasha :) I am a mom to two babies (3.5 & 4 months) and loved crafting so much I decided to start crafting for others. I started by painting wall letters and have moved on to bows, tutus, bow ties, tag blankets, etc. Pretty much anything.

My goal is to eventually do well enough to where I could stay home. I have to work full time in order to help with bills (both my husband and I have our 4 year degrees and owe a TON on school loans!) and I really wish I didn't have to spend so much time away from my littles.

I only have a few items on etsy currently. Even though I've been selling for 3 years, I just started using etsy a couple weeks ago.

My goal in this team is to help get my business going by utilizing the tips and advice from all of you!

Hi! My name is Laurie and I am new to Etsy as well. I live on Cape Cod with my husband and two children. I opened my shop back in March after quitting my job of 9 years. I have always loved handmade items and enjoy making them as well. I'm still learning my way around and hope to learn and share success with everyone here.

Hello!

I'm new to etsy, just opened my shop a month ago. I enjoy digital painting. I've started with nursery art, but I plan on branching out.

I'm a stay at home mom, my son is 16 months old. I'm kind of doing this as a way to keep myself occupied, lol... but I wouldn't mind helping with the bills if possible.

Thank you for starting this group, I look forward to getting to know everyone. :)

Hi, my name is Sam. I live in Scotland with my husband and 16 year old son.
I love all kinds of crafts but last year I made display cakes for the crystal shop I work in and customers keep wanting to buy them, I have finally given in and started to sell them in my spare time.

My goal is to make some extra money to put into my son's uni fund (thank goodness I only had one kid).

Looking forward to chatting to everyone. x

Hi my name is Hazel. My husband Nigel and I have just opened an Etsy shop Leather Meister. We are fortunate in that we have worked from home for the past few years. I spend most of my time in the workshop but Nigel thinks it is time that I the online selling bit. I must confess I am sadly out of date on modern technology and have a mobile phone that can only make phone calls and send texts. I have much to learn so a team where I can ask stupid questions would be really helpful.

I look forward to getting to know you and picking your brains.

Hi! I'm Sarah and I run EverydayJargon. I'm currently in school to become a Physician Assistant so my main goal is to focus on graduating! Other than that I love to design in my spare time, which is why I started my shop. Most of my items are a one time deal, since I love to upcycle glasses and jars. One of my favorite recurring items is my custom harry potter mug (link below).

I joined the team to look for advice, since I'm not garnering a lot of views on what I think are some of my best items! All feedback is much appreciated :)
