Hello! I'm new here and am from Lancaster county, PA. I'm a stay at home, homeschooling mom to three kids, ages 7, 5, and 2. I opened my own crochet shop about a year ago called hookedbyAmy. I make all sorts of things, a lot of custom orders and a lot of things inspired by my kids and their requests.
I'm excited to get to know some more Pennsylvanians :)

[LathersforLife]

I make soap and more, and homeschool oh, and also live in Pennsylvania

Hi Everyone! I'm new here, too! So excited to be first time part of an etsy team. I live in Wyomissing, PA with my husband. I enjoy making cards and anything stationary, be it custom or my ideas. I have a full time job, but in any spare time I get, I either practice new techniques, come up with new design ideas or do research how to be a better seller. I'm glad I have found a team that is around me, this way I don't feel like I'm the only one who does that around here...

[brushcreekwoolworks]

Nice to see you both here!

Hello! I live in Birdsboro with my husband and 11-year old daughter. I make a variety of things. Right now I have a lot of necklaces and keychains aimed at kids or young-at-heart adults. But I also make custom chalkboards, which haven't made it into my shop yet.

Hi! My name is Madison Paxton.
I am a newlywed and my husband and I just moved to Johnstown, PA.

In my shop I sell my acrylic and watercolor paintings! I also sell prints of my work.

I'd really like to do some craft and art fairs in the area- if anyone knows of any I would love to give it a try!!

[Former_Member]

Hi Madison, welcome...:)

[brushcreekwoolworks]

Madison.,
Nice to see you here.

Have fun.

I'm down near Somerset.
Is you husband from here, as there are Paxtons in our area?

Check out Mountain Craft Days at the Somerset Historical Center
It was just last weekend, but you would have time to get an application and items done for then.

@brushcreekwoolworks

He is from Washington, PA, but he has family out this way!
He is working with his brother, Will, at Somerset tractor company, his aunt lissa, cousin sabrina live here...know any of them? Most likely if they are a Paxton, we are related haha!

My sister in law has been telling me about Mountain craft days, so I will be sure to check that out!

[ThePlayfulForest]

Hi Madison! Welcome!!..:)

I have no idea where Johnstown is, but if it's around Lancaster, then on Oct 5th there is a craft festival at Stoudtburg. Convo me if you want more info, I am going...:) it's pretty close to me, I live in Wyomissing...

[brushcreekwoolworks]

My sons went to Berlin school with some Paxton boys
The parents own a farm here over near Meyersdale.
The boys are in their late 30's to mid 30's.
One's a Jim, I think.. went to one of the military academies as I recall.
They had a lot of kids, and I an not familiar with all of their names.

I am originally from Beaverdale, and my Dh is from Windber.
So we know where you are.
Was just there this past weekend, my Mom had a leaky roof that needed fixed.


Vio, we are about 3 hours west of you.

We used to do the natural dye demonstration at Mountain Craft Days fro 15 years, but had to cut out outdoor weekend shows. Our help , the boys are gone, and it's just getting too hard to do the outdoor ones, too.
Been doing shows for 30 years.
