{Freebie Friday} Win a Tutu from Jolynn's Hobby Shop!

Giveaway Closed

Happy Freebie Friday! This week went by so fast for me. I hope you all are having a great one! Today I'd like to introduce Johannah from Jolynn's Hobby Shop. She has a wonderful giveaway for you all to enter but first lets learn more about her.

Tell us a bit about yourself.

I'm SAHM to 3yr old & wife. I have many hobbies like baking, reading, movies, & photography. I love crafts & making things in my spare time. I'm pretty much home body & love being with family.

What made you want to become an artist?

I always enjoyed crafts, but I started after my sis passed away & my niece's came to live with us. I began making hair accessories to save on buying them & then began making tutu's which made me start making other things in my shop with more to come. Lol.

What is your favorite item to create?

My fave are tutu's. I love creating beautiful tutus for little girls. I always try to make it extra special.

What advice would you give to new artists on Etsy?

I'm fairly new myself. My advice would be to be patient. Try to add new items as much as you can & promote ALOT with FB page, Twitter, blog, etc.

How do you promote your work?

I have blog, Twitter, FB page & that is how I get my shop out there. I also promote on other pages that do shout outs & do shout outs to pages I just love. I also do giveaways & that helps get more people to my page.

Do you have any websites connected to your shop?

What is the inspiration for your work?

My son & nieces are my inspiration.

Do any of your items go toward a special cause?

I haven't done any causes but do plan to donate to locks of love.

Do you have a job outside of Etsy? How do you handle both?

At this time I'm only a SAHM {stay at home mom} & do have to balance when to craft. It's mainly done when the kids go to school or at night depending.

Where do you create?

I work in my living room/kitchen until I get a craft room going. Lol. I do plan to get one up for fall.

What are your goals for your shop?

My goal is to provide items people love & enjoy. I would like more sales & more word of mouth about my shop.

Is there anything else you would like to share with us?

I'm just happy to be part of Etsy & pleased with the  great people i get to meet.
