Over the last few months as my blog has changed and I have brainstormed, I decided to change up my sponsorship stuff so that it was easier for me and really highlighting my blog friends and handmade businesses. These posts may be few and far between (which is how I prefer them!) but I think it is fun to share my love of handmade things and other blogs– so that you guys can enjoy them, too!
Kristin has an Etsy store and sells the cutest scarves and embroidered hoops! Here are some of my favorites from her shop.
Just for fun– here is a little more about Kristen!
–How long have you had your shop? I’ve had my shop open since January 2011, and it was mainly focused on paper goods. I’ve slowly and happily switched over to fabric and am working on adding new products all the time.
–What do you love the most about it? I love being able to create things that people love. I am constantly amazed that people want the things that I make, and that those things make them happy. That makes me so happy in turn. Plus, it’s fun to have a reason to stash all those lovely fabrics!
–How has blogging influenced your life? I’ve made some really great friends! The interaction that comes from the blogging community can be amazing. It’s inspiring and supportive, and that can be really helpful when you have an Etsy shop.
–Favorite meal? I love a really good steak- like a filet mignon. That is a really rare treat nowadays!
–Guilty Pleasure TV show? We actually don’t have any type of television service in our house currently! We’ve been so busy renovating our house over the past few years and trying to keep up with our two small children that we don’t have time to watch it. But, when I can I try to catch new episodes of Project Runway online. I just love seeing the designs.
