Friday Feature!

This weeks shop is ChimChim! A cute shop for crochet and needlepoint lovers! Or someone who would like to explore them!

Here is a little about Carol and her shop, ChimChim.

I've been crocheting and making one thing or another since I was about 7 years old. I taught myself to crochet from a book. Since I'm left handed, I had to hold the illustrations in front of a mirror to see how a left-hander crochets! I started crochet when I wanted to make clothes for my dolls. I often dabble in more crafts and hobbies and put the results up on my site and Etsy.

I started my shop on Etsy as a continuation of my desire to sell my work. I've done many craft shows and sold things from my website as well. My shop name, ChimChim, is actually the name of my cat. She thinks she "helps" me!

I also design needle point and cross stitch charts that are sold in many shops around the country! They were even in Hobby Lobby a few years ago.

All my work can be found on my website as well as some on Etsy.

Stop by her shop and take a look around!

Friday Feature!

And the winner is..... EmraldeKat!

This weeks Friday Feature is on a fun and funky shop named PunkScrapper. Like always I've got a little background information on the shop and some very neat products straight out of the shop, and of course just click on the picture to go to the items page. This week we've even got a giveaway!!! Scroll to the bottom of the feature for giveaway details!

I have always loved drawing and crafting. My older sister used to keep me entertained by sharing her art supplies and coming up with projects for us to work on! I have always loved the idea of making art for a living and a few years ago my husband encouraged me to do just that! That is when I discovered Etsy! Its slow going and challenging but I love it so much!

My name kind of came out of a combo of my interest... I like scrap booking as well as using bits of this and that (scraps) to make things for my shop and i also love punk music and the look and feel of the punk era from the 80's. So "punkscrapper" seemed appropriate!

I also seem to often combine some punk and edge along with whimsy and imagery in the items I make, so "punkscrapper" worked! I have been doing my crafts (in some form or another) since I was a little girl and started doing commissions here and there in high school and college but it has been in the last three years that I have made it my job 100%.

You can find PunkScrapper on:
