My name is Clara, I'm 30 years old, bookseller at Half Price, married with two cats and one tortoise. :) Knitting, weaving, and sewing are my loves....currently applying to grad school to become a librarian.

I've done all the CCC shows except two...and I'm exhausted. :)

Hi! My name is Jess. I am a mom of 2 crazy kids that I couldn't love more if I wanted! Chai is 2 going on 13 and Asher is the happiest little 10 month old I've ever known.

I love crafting of all sorts. I wish I could get more stuff up in my shop, but its such a process! I love creating, but I'm not that great at promoting the goods. I love to crochet all things- from kids hats, adult hats, felted bags, and crocheted food for Chai's kitchen.

I have only done one craft show. I think it went really well and would like to try my hand at it again. Hoping to meet some great artists here and do perhaps do a CCC show soon!

Just a little about me- can't wait to hear more about the team!

[Former_Member]

Hi! I'm Jennifer and I've only been able to be in one of the CCC shows due to my pesky day job, but I'm hoping to work my schedule so I participate again. I have a 2 y/o daughter & hubby that keep me busy. My current crafting passion is fusing recycled glass.

[CMSPottery]

Hi girls! I'm Chris, from CMS Designs, and I love to fuse glass and work with clay. I think I have done most of the CCC shows, although I did miss a few. :( I have a pesky day job, but do shows at least once or twice a month. I also organize my own show, Crafty Goodness, held once a year. Looking forward to a crafty 2011!

Thanks for the responses....let's keep them coming!

Hi I am Robin of T-Shirt Diaries (www.tshirtdiaries.com). I finally got around to putting together an ETSY shop. I make upcycled girls T-shirt dresses, I am starting to work on some upcycled shirts, and make a variety of pins and hair accessories from upcycled materials.

I have done three shows and would love to do more. I have a four year old daughter and a one (almost two year old son) who pretty much keep me going non-stop.

So excited to get to know everyone better!

[Former_Member]

Hi, my name is Denise and I am new to all of this. I have been creating art and sewing for a little while, but just started selling about a year ago. I have not been in one of your shows, but I would love to! Thanks!

[Former_Member]

Hey-I'm Beth. Been making soap for a few years but recently decided to change the focus from the usual stuff to strangely disturbing and exotic scents. I've had a couple Etsy shops in the past but am currently setting up Raven's Sight. Looking forward to being a part of this group!

[EclectixStyle]

Hi-I'm Celia or my nickname is Cel! We need some new members on here! Well, since I am the newbie thought I'd tell you a little bit about myself. I am in Mid-OH halfway between Cle & Col, a very repressed area, ou GM plant closed. I make jewelry & was doing outdoor venues til my partner moved 2.5 hours from me. So I hope to do do some of your shows, sounds interesting!
Keep me posted & Happy Holidays to you all!

[LazyTcrochet]

Hello - I've been following you on Facebook for awhile and it's nice to see how busy you guys are with shows. I know some of you and am looking forward to getting to know more people.
I usually only do seasonal shows, but you never know!

[ReneesTotally80s]

Hi, my name is Renee and I am from Cleveland Ohio (Brooklyn to be specific) I just started here on Etsy a few months ago. In addition to being a student, I have always been a bartender on a full or part time basis. I love , love fashion. With Bartending you are always "on display" so to speak, people notice everything. I like to keep it fun by wearing really cool stuff, but one has to be careful not to ruin your clothes. So I thought of making my own and thats where this humble beginning comes from. My clothes are mostly black on purpose, the design really pops and it shows less spills, and is flattering. I am just new to finding local shows and craft fairs so I am hoping joining will allow me to network. Cheers!

Hi all, my name is Dorit and I have been in the Cleveland area for about 8 months now. I make bags and purses out of African wax print fabrics and leather. I would love to get involved with some craft shows but always only seem to hear about them a week before they happen!

[claudiascreation1]

Hi! My name is Claudia and I like to create with the inspiration of my two children. We make everything by hand and our original design. All of our items are made from recycled, upcycled, eco friendly wears and finds with the best stories and adventures behind them.

[Former_Member]

Hello, I'm Andrea. I make hand bound journals, sketchbooks & albums. I've never done a craft show before but presently I am trying to get enough books bound to give it a go. Looking forward to getting tips and advice!

[Former_Member]

Hi, Andrea! Love your work! Anybody getting ready for some Spring shows?

[Former_Member]

Hi My name is Deborah and my husband is David. I hand draw pictures of children and pets from photos and and then hand transfer them onto fine china plates and silk scarves. David takes care of the business end of this endeavor, We are grandparents who live in the Cleveland/ Akron Suburbs, and look forward to learning more about how to market in area craft shows.
