Hi Kate, I hate internet issues! My name is Kath and I run craftsbykash on here ( you can call me crafts or kash) And I am so with you. I hate cleaning too!Anything else I'll do before that!

Hello! I'm in Mauston, which is technically a bit westerly of central....but darn close! Hope I'm not intruding.

My name is Michelle, I chrochet simple things in my spare time, and occasionally play with beads and leather maskmaking.

[CarriesBerries]

Hi Michele! Welcome to the team! Your dish cloths are beautiful!

[Former_Member]

Well thank you!
My hubby teases me and call me the crazy rag lady. But, it keeps my hands busy while I'm sitting in the car killing time, waiting for his work shift to end. :)

[Former_Member]

Delicious dish cloths. I personally love these things myself. Welcome Michele:)

[HolsomHeartsAttic]

Hi Michelle! I like the dish clothes too! And how far does a radius need to go out to be considered central I have found more Wisconsin shops having joined this team than I every could find on here by myself!

Hello, we've been on Etsy almost a year now. We're right smack in the middle of the state: Marshfield. Love playing with beads and knitting and various other arts and crafts.

Hi everyone. I'm Colleen in Weston. I'm new to etsy and haven't sold anything yet (getting a lot of views and some folks favoritin' my shop or items, and two promises to buy "soon").

I'm a craft-dabbler, and I like mixing materials and techniques. Most of my items have at least a smidge of oddity or humor, but every once in a while, I'll create something conventional, classic, or vintage-inspired.

Hi,
Thank you for the invitation to join this team.

I have been on Etsy for 10 months.
My shop is full of things that I have sewn.
My Raggedy Ann dolls are my favorite. I love creating them.
I have travel size pillowcases, they are a fun item.
I also enjoy making small quilts and table toppers.
I just started doing fabric covered journals.
One of my most popular items has been my memory, keepsake bears.

I live in a small town, with my husband. We have 4 children, 3 girls and 1 boy. We have 3 granddaughters and 2 grandsons and one granddaughter due in a month.

I babysit full time for my granddaughter in Minocqua. It is a great job!!

Thank you again for the invitation. It will be fun to connect with Etsy members in central Wisconsin

I am hoping Eau Claire is not too far west to be part of your team! I Have Beverly in my circle and I love the stuff she brings to my feed. I am pretty much a newbee with only a year under my belt now.

I sew things - especially for dogs, dolls and teddy bears. Halloween was pretty good for me for dog costume sales. I am on to special order American Girl items next.

I own and run a company during the day, so my Etsy is limited to nights and weekends. But it keeps me sane. I love sewing and creating.

And, I agree with some others - I do not clean well. Drives my husband crazy that I can operate in chaos during the day, but my sewing stuff is very put together.

I am constantly amazed at how many people there are selling on Etsy and the incredible products available. Good luck to all of you.

Hello. I am new to etsy and still looking around and trying to get a feel for things. I am also fairly new to Central Wisconsin, having lived in Rome for a little over a year and now in Wisconsin Rapids since March 2011. I have been quilting for many years and want to see it if I can make a profit from my hobby. I am offering machine quilting services in my etsy shop. I have a few other items as well. I am looking forward to getting to know other Central Wisconsin crafters, and maybe some other quilters, through this team. If you have any advice, it would also be welcomed.

[Former_Member]

Howdy folks!

I'm relatively new to Etsy, so I've been busy getting my shop together and such. I hope Madison still qualifies for Central WI ;)

[Former_Member]

Hello everyone,
I'm new to Etsy and am thrilled to have found a team in my area! We sell alpaca fleece, roving and other products and live smack dab in the center of WI, just North of Wausau. I'd be interested in getting together to discuss our shops and share selling tips!

Hello everyone! I think I am in the minority here on this team as I sell Vintage items and no longer sew! I joined Etsy in July and have been having a great time getting to know how things work and have gotten lots of great help from my other two teams. I'm retired and we live on the Eau Pleine Flowage, hence the name of my shop. Edgar is the post office that serves this area of Emmet.

[CarriesBerries]

Hello everyone and welcome to the team! You all have beautiful shops and do great work! Glad to have everyone here and hope we can all support and encourage each other through this busy holiday season!

[Former_Member]

Hi team members. I just joined Christmas morning. Glad to find a group in my area. I live between Wautoma and Neshkoro and am enjoying the country life. Both my hubby and I are retired. I have sewn and knitted for years and decided to start trying to sell some of my items. I have made so many things and given them to loved ones and friends and decided to try to recoup some money and still be able to enjoy my craft. I sell quilted and knitted items for your home and personal use. It keeps me busy. I love making beautiful things and seeing the pleasure it brings to others.

HI Everyone!

I finally have an etsy store up and running!! PHEW... it feels like this has taken me a long time - much longer than it should have.

My name is Molly and I live in the fox valley. It's so great to have this space to get to know fellow wisconsin etsy sellers.

I look forward to getting to know you better :)

[CarriesBerries]

Hi Molly!

Welcome to the team! Your baby announcements are adorable :)
