Hi! My name is Sarah. I'm a nurse and student by day and a rogue crafter by night (sneaking around clicking knitting needles and scaring small children). I'm the other half (twin) to JusifiablyJulia who does the deconstructing. I read way too much, feed way to many treat to my rather plump golder retriever, and love to play with yarn!

Hello, I am Kelly! I am a elementary art teacher by day, crafter/artist by night...still tring to find my place in this crazy world. When it comes to arts an crafts, I like a little bit of everything. I am currently dabbling with metal and welding, but I paint, I draw, etc etc. Have a wonderful afternoon and thanks for letting me be a part of your team!!!

Hi all! I'm Julia (the other half to SharpCrayon) I do not sneak to craft! I do it blatantly while I should be studying at all hours of the day and night. My roommates give me funny looks as piles of yarn and sweaters start to slowly eat up the living room. I have found after much intense internal debates, that I believe puppies to be even more distracting than alpacas... (especially puppies who like to eat yarn) I'm excited to be part of an active fun team!

good gracious, good morning! last thing i knew it was last night! i'm rochelle and i live, breathe, don't eat nor sleep, but i'm nearly always involved in a project or twenty. i think i'm going to have to look for a little felted alpaca to come live with me.

at least then i'd have an excuse!

Hello everyone, I'm Sally from the UK. I'm a mum of grown up kids, a maker, a wife to a lovely husband who puts up with all my making, a maker, a lecturer in making- seriously I do teach applied textiles and lecture on antique textiles, a maker, oh what else? , oh did I tell you I am a maker ?
I have always made things mostly from fabrics but I suppose I am as much mixed media - I love paper as well.
Its like a drug really all this making - you all know what I mean.
What will we ever do with it all????
Nice to meet you all.

I'd really like to patent this "drug" and smuggle it into people's water. Sort of a sneak craft attack. I really think that would be quite fun.

Oh, you mean for real? Well, I suppose I'm just going to keep on crafting and foisting the products on people for birthday presents :)

That's my master plan!

I had to join because the title of this team was just too awesome. XD My name is Josie, I just listed my first two items yesterday, and I am scared and excited. XD I joined to sell crocheted hats (for all ages), but I'm also hoping to use this as a place to sell some of my original sketches. Oh, also, I'm a stay at home mom of two, and a homeschooler. =)

I should add that I've been an illustrator much longer than I've been a crocheter, and it's where most of my passion lies.

Ravelraven - WELCOME! I'm also very new to ETSY and extremely nervous. I'm hoping that eventually this can be a place where we help each other out (what looks good in thier shop, how to do things, how to price, ect.)

In other news I LOVE your alpaca/llama name!

Haha, thanks! XD

Hi....this is the cutest group and I'm proud to be a member....I don;t own an alpaca but I do own numerous fuzzy friends from the feline family and a very spoiled lhasa apso. I'm really new to Etsy have put a few things in my store but have way too much fun playing with teams and treasuries...I have promised myself to list at least another item this weekend...lol.

I work in school with less than acceptable behaviorally challenged children and have been an artist all my life.....fine arts and crafting are my way of unwinding. I'm a mom and wife....and the hubby DID buy me a wonderful alpaca scarf for Xmas....bout as much alpca as I own and I guess the benefit of not feeding it is a plus.
