This thread is here to feature a new shop, Monday to Friday! It’s a good way for us to learn a bit more about our teammates! What we sell, what inspires us and what keeps us going :D If you are lucky enough to be featured please take a second and let us know your story!

Anyone here to show support for the featured shop you can follow them, favorite their shops, “like” their facebook page (if they have one) , show us your favorite items in their shop or simply just tell us why you love their work! The more you give, the more you get back so keep that in mind when spreading around that love and support :)

So today's featured shop of the day is NikkisCraftShop by our brand new teammate Nikki!

I found Nikki in the forums the other day and she was asking about promoting and teams, so let's give her a great big welcome to the team!

Nikki's shop features baby blankets, diaper covers, accessories for girls and some seriously cute animals.

Here's a few of my favorites:

Hi Everyone! As requested here is a little about myself and how I came to be on Etsy :)

I started crocheting when I was about 10 years old. My grandmother taught me one summer that I was spending with them. I had never finished a product until I made a scarf back in 2013. For Christmas I decided to make my whole family handmade gifts. Since that point I haven’t been able to put able to put my crochet hook down.

I got the idea to open a shop when my husband suggested I could sell some of the things I was crocheting. I started out with making little girl items, but my shop has morphed into more of a baby centered shop. I have always been a stuffed animal lover and once I found out that I could use my hobby to make them I was overjoyed! Since that point I’ve gone on to make baby lovies as well, which I find a lot of joy in making because I know how much comfort they can bring little ones. Diaper covers were a great addition helping me come up with the baby shower gift sets that I’m expanding my shop to include.

I have a baby nephew and a 5 year old niece where most of my inspiration comes from. They have been my guinea pigs :) I also find inspiration in looking up new crochet patterns and perusing crochet blogs. I even find myself in stores looking at stuffed animals going “oh I could make that”

Thank you for the wonderful feature and I hope I can be a great addition to the team :)

OMG, I could copy and paste her entire shop in here. Nikki, don't ever put that crochet hook down! Your items are absolutely adorable.

This one reminds me of Fruit Stripe Gum!
