Meet The Maker!

Crystal from Wishy Yo Washi

Starting on Sunday we will have our first spring crafting challenge. In past challenges, we have an artist give away a prize. For this challenge, we will have my friend Crystal from Oregon.  She was born in California and moved to Oregon when she was in the 1st grade.

Crystal loves sewing and crafting. She runs a few different shops on ETSY and has two Instagram feeds. One of her Instagram feeds, Refashioned Treasures, she posts pictures of many things. Pictures of the things she makes, Upcycles, and sells vintage items.  One of her shops, Wishy Yo Washi,  she crafts and sells fun washi tape. One of the things that brought her to work at home was her struggle with an autoimmune disease.  She adores making and selling all of these various crafts and things she has sewn.

She is excited to join in this challenge with us. Feel free to head over to her one shop wishyyowashi.etsy.com.

Another day until the challenge starts. See you then!

New wrap bracelets being added to our shop.

On our instagram account, we have been moving and grooving. On Sunday's, we have started the Sunday Maker Shout out. I love my maker friends. So this is an opportunity to make shout outs to them. Recently, we have started a contest with our Follow Fridays where a maker can win a free feature for Sunday Maker Shout Out.

One thing that has been really fun is we have joined some penpal groups and maker trades. This painting was one of our gifts to another pen pal maker.

In addition I have had the chance to be featured on Diana's from Dressed By Dianas blog. Check out the lovely necklace that I  created for her. 

One of the other fun things that I have been doing is helping out with leading lettering for Creative Bible Journaling on Facebook. Come check us out. Lots of fun things happening.

There has been so much going on. One of our hot items for the shop, is custom orders. Here are two fun pairs of earrings that we have made recently for a fellow maker, Angelica Chavez. Go and check out her cool blog.

In trying to expand what we offer in our ETSY shop, I have been hard
at work making these ribbon and bead bookmarks. Pop over to the shop
and check them out. mtnittanycreations.etsy.com

Something that I really enjoy is working with other artists.
Coming soon to our shop, we will have some cool
collaborative pieces can't wait to share them with you.

Recently, I joined a Bible Journaling group
on Facebook. After a little while they asked me to
lead their lettering department. Here is one of
the fonts I created. In the future, I hope to
use this skill to add some new fun things
to the shop.
