Tell us about yourself.
Hello! I'm Cameron from Homemade.  I'm pretty new to the blogging world, but I am having a great time meeting new people - bloggers are such a terrific bunch!  I love to create . . . just about anything. I sew, knit, crochet, paper craft, have a kiln that needs to be hooked up and a pottery wheel that needs to be dusted off. My two kids keep me grounded and remind me of what is MOST important in life, and my husband may be the most patient man on Earth. In between all this I work nights as an emergency room nurse. Sounds exciting, right? It is - I love my life, and I love blogging about the fun stuff I make, and hot tips I find, and occasionally personal stuff . . . 

I'm very excited to be able to give away one of my fun homemade items - enjoy!

How did you get started in your craft and selling on Etsy?

I've pretty much been crafting as long as I can remember - I've always loved trying to make something I'd seen while shopping.  I taught myself to knit and then crochet after my kids were born and pottery (my first love!) was no longer a feasible hobby. Alas, I am a bit of a crafting crazy, so I also sew, write patterns, create home decor in a variety of ways, and enjoy paper crafting!  Whenever I get bored with something, I just move on to another one of my passions.  Having kids has opened up a whole new world of fun project to do with little ones, and I hope I'm sharing my creative spirit with my little ones.

What is your favorite item in your shop & why?

It's so hard to pick - I love all my creations, so much so that sometimes it's hard to part with them!  But, I'd have to say it is a tie between my crocheted clutches and the few items of pottery I have left.  I'm a sucker for a clutch, and I think the crocheted exterior is such a cool feel and texture.   And pottery has been my favorite craft all along - it's just not very kid-friendly!  Hopefully, this spring I'll get back into it and get the kiln wired up & fired up again!

Do you have a job outside of Etsy?

I actually have two jobs - I work PRN (as needed) as both an emergency room nurse and a transfer center nurse.  It keeps me busy and often reminds me just how blessed I am to be healthy, happy, and loved.  

What is one thing {NOT person} you can not live without?

Hmmm...this is a hard one!  At first I thought of my sewing machine, but in a pinch I really could hand sew.  I think I'm going to have to say my computer - the internet has brought such growth to the homemade/handmade world - you are no longer limited by proximity!  I was talking with someone in New Zealand and British Columbia today - how amazing is that?  I used to go to shows for my pottery - but the travel and time had a pretty low return - Etsy is such a wonderful innovation for helping crafters get a better return on our investment.

What is your guilty pleasure?

Reading books - I kind of get lost in them, as in: all other areas of my life are neglected!  So, I don't often read anymore now that I have kids, except on vacation, when I read a book a day.  My favorite kinds of books are murder mysteries!

Tell us a joke.

Lucky for you, I've been opening Christmas poppers, which are just chock full of great, G-rated jokes!  So here's one for you:  Why would Snow White make such a good judge? Because she's the fairest of them all.  Ha ha ha, ooh, that was a doozy.
