Hello! I'm new as well. Stay at home mom of two, my son is 5 and my daughter is 1 1/2. I'm both a seller and a buyer. I crochet and knit. My grandmother taught me how to crochet about 18 years ago and I taught myself how to knit about 5 years ago. I love doing them both because it makes me feel closer to my grandmother. She passed about 6 years ago and when I'm knitting and crocheting it's like I can feel her with me, so I do it as often as I can, lol. I really need traffic in my shop. I've tried just about everything I can think of so far. I like making things for people and making them happy.

Hi all! I'm a college student, and I love crocheting because it keeps me calm during midterms. 😅 but alas, my room is only so big. So I opened a shop for amigurumi and Mermaid Afghans

Hello everyone! I'm Misha. Also a stay at home mom of 2 girls. My daughters are 6 and 1 years old. I love homemade and handcrafted goods. I would say my true passion is for paper crafting. I just opened up my etsy shop and was hoping to get some advice on how to grow my business. I have had a lot of traffic in these couple of days but still no sales.
This is my shop, feel free to send me some advice and shop a little :) https://www.etsy.com/shop/CraftsyDiva?ref=hdr_shop_menu

Hello! My name is Nikki and I am a college student who recently found a passion in handmade and hand painted wooden signs. I have a fair share of hobbies including photography, but my signs are my favorite because they allow me to express myself and create something from simple supplies! I am both a shopper and seller 💕☺️

¡Hola amigos! My name is Ruth. Friends and family call me Bob. I have been confined to be my bed for almost a year
and I started crocheting again to keep my sanity in tact. I have always enjoyed giving homemade gifts to loved ones. I am trying to reignite my passion for life and setting up a shop on Etsy has set my bum aflame!

Hi everyone! My name is Anita. I am a homeschooling mom to 4 boys, ages 10,9,8,and 3.
I love crocheting and knitting. I just like sewing, not love. I'm still trying to find my niche exactly. (Probably should have figured that out before opening a shop :-/ )
I'd love to talk about that sometime.

I'm a first year father that is enjoying every second of it. Every month we take a photo of our little one to show how much he's grown and I add fun drawings on the photos. This is my way to have some fun with it and bring some joy to anyone that might take a look. I hope I can do the same for you!

Hello, World! My name is Grace and I'm from Canada. I make chocolates in the shape of video game controllers with coloured buttons and licorice cords <3. I'm currently looking for a way to make hard and gummy candies in the shape of Rupees (from the Legend of Zelda games). I attend Conventions often and thrive in geek culture. I deeply appreciate anything hand-made with caution and care.
