Hello, hello, hello! I was updating my blog tonight and realized it wasn't the only one that I have been neglecting. I was halfway through typing up a squash soup recipe when I remembered that I still had to intro myself to the Winnipeg Etsy-ers! So, well...hi!
I am Rebecca and I am crafty. I just moved back to Winnipeg this past summer after being away for 10 years and I am LOVING it. It is so good to be back home.
I have an 11 year old son, a cute bf, and a boring desk job. I crochet, sew, upholster, paint, and (as my ex-husband so eloquantly puts it) have a penchant for glueing stuff. I've just started putting things up on Etsy in the past month and so far haven't sold any of my listings, although I did get one custom order for 3 mini scrapbooks. lol. Hopefully some of my future items will get a little more action. I have a bunch of collage stuff that I think will do really well, but I don't want to put *everything* up at once...
Anyway, I joined this group because I am really interested in taking part in craft shows, farmer's markets, etc and I am hoping that this community will be a good source of information (and friendship!)
Also, I am hoping to start up a crafty home-based business in the next few months. If anyone knows of any local grants/loans/etc that are available for that sort of thing, please let me know...
Thanks...and nice to meet you!
