Tell us about yourself.
Tell us about yourself.
My name is Christine and I live in western Massachusetts with my 16 month old twins, Sean and Isabel and my husband Eric. Beyond my most important job as mom of Sean and Isabel I have also been a preschool teacher for the past ten years. My teaching experiences have been a wonderful asset to me as a new mom.
How did you get started in your craft and selling on Etsy?
My love of crafting began with the birth of my children. My mother got me a sewing machine and taught me the basics of sewing. Once I made my first pair of upcycled soft soled baby shoes for my children, I was addicted. Friends and family encouraged me to open an Etsy shop because even though I had two babies, they could not possibly wear all of the booties I was creating out of enjoyment.

What is your favorite item in your shop & why?
My favorite item in my Etsy shop has to be my scrap monsters. They are my latest upcycled innovation and I just find them so funny looking that they're cute. Beyond that children of all ages enjoy snuggling and playing with them. Each one is an individual so your child is truly getting something unique.

Do you have a job outside of Etsy?
I am a preschool teacher and mother to my 16 month old twins. Teaching has been a passion of mine that came to me completely by accident, but I could not imagine having any other career. The joy of watching the children in my care grow and learn is all the thanks I need.

What is one thing {NOT person} you can not live without?
A wonderfully unique necklace my husband got me as a gift for the birth of our twins Isabel and Sean. It is a hand dipped bronzed pea pod holding 2 freshwater pearls, two peas in a pod. Wearing it each day helps keep my children close to me even when we are apart.

What is your guilty pleasure?
Obsessively checking my smart phone.

Tell us a joke.
Not a joke but funny story. While out on the playground with a group of 4 year olds, one of them noticed a red tailed hawk flying around and screeching. Another child asked, "Why is it screaming"? The first child then explained in all seriousness, "It must be a teenager". Not sure if this fits the bill, but it always makes me chuckle.
