Say Hello to Dianne!
1. Mama Rabbits Workshop
2. Dianne
3. I joined Etsy in May of 2009 but didn't start listing until July, and really didn't get serious with it until November.
4. Sad to say I am a widow. My husband died in 2006 of a sudden massive heart attack. He was only 54. It's still hard living alone and the holidays are especially difficult for us.
5. Birthday is February 4
6. I live in North Alabama
7. I have one son. His name is Brian and he turned 30 in May. I have a sweet daughter-in-law named Veronica, no grands yet. They've only been married two years and she is still in college right now. I'm not rushing them, but when one does come I will have a ball with it I'm sure!!
8. I have been crafting for most of my life. My mom and I did craft shows for over 25 years. We still make things together. The quilt, pillows and dolls in my Etsy shop are things I have done for years, although the Cathedral Windows pattern is fairly new for me. My mom had done it years ago. We started making the quilts together about six or 7 years ago, at least. I got hooked on that pattern and have been doing it along with everything else ever since.
9. In the little free time I have I love to read (listen) to recorded books. My eye condition prevents me from reading more than a few paragraphs at a time, so my recorded books are my best friends. Reading has always been my favorite thing to do. "Hearing" books is not quite as good as reading the written word, but it sure beats the alternative. I also enjoy my flowers in the summer, and cutting my own grass. Also spending time with family, and going to church.
10. I am in a very small church and we are in the process of building membership right now. We have been blessed with a wonderful new pastor recently and he is planning some short mission trips to go on soon. If I can I plan to be a part of these. I am also the treasurer of my church.
11. I have been a christian for about 22 years.
12. My favorite item in my shop is the Cathedral Windows Quilt.
13. I would like to travel a lot more than I have had the opportunity to do so far. I look forward to the mission trips we are planning. I dream of one day seeing my Etsy shop become a success, this would be a great opportunity for me, not only to earn extra money, which is a big need for me, but also for the opportunity to meet people from all over the world.
14. I would bring my good salsa dip and one of my lusious mandrin ornage cakes.
15. Sweets are my downfall!
16. I'm loaded with pets! I have about 20 rabbits, about 12 quail, my son's little terrier dog outside that I got left with, my favorite baby Miss Mousey. She is the cat you see on my Avatar. She is my best buddy. I also have 2 to 4 outside cats depending on when you count! Sounds like a zoo doesn't it?
17. Just put me beside the pool, please.
18. Plenty of depends, I wouldn't be looking forward to the trip!!
19. My Dodge Pick-up is Big Red/
20. Yes! So many ideas are going through my head. I want to add more types of throw pillows, and lots of smaller, more inexpensive items, and I hope to be able to put together some more different types of kits.

2. First Name: Kendra
3. How long have you been a member of the Etsy Community? Since August 2009
4. Married/Single? Very happily married, with an anniversary coming up soon!
5. Birthday Month/Day: July 30
6. What state/country do you live in? Michigan, USA
7. Do you have any children? Will you tell us their lst name and age? (Sorry, I don't share this info online.)
8. How long have you been crafting what you sell on Etsy? My mother taught me to crochet when I was four years old, and I have been doing it ever since.
9. When you have free time, what do you like to do? Read, garden, create.
10. Are you on a ministry team at your church or do you have your own ministry?
What type is it? I love being a member of the worship team, along with helping in less formal ways wherever I can serve. Volunteering in the nursery, making coffee, picking up garbage, it is all ministry to the Lord.
11. How long have you been a Christian? 24 years and counting.
12. What is your favorite item in your shop right now? My beaded garland scarf in reclaimed midnight plum merino wool: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35491755
13. What would you like to do that you have not done yet? Craft-wise, I have plans to create sturdy mod crocheted containers with lids. Outside of that, I really want to grow *edible* broccoli. Every year, something happens and my broccoli harvest is a flop.
14. If we were having a team party, what would you be bringing? Probably a recipe I have never made before. It kinda freaks my husband out, but I usually make something new to take to gatherings. People usually ask for the recipe, though.

16. What type of pets do you have, if any? A very loyal German Shepherd.
17. Which of these three would you prefer to do? Hang glide, bungee jump, or sit by the pool and be waited on hand and foot? None of the above; why sit next to the pool if I could be swimming in it?
18. If you were on a rocket to the moon, what is one thing you would want to have? Fuel.
19. Does your vehicle have a name, if so, what is it? Nope, but I am pretty certain it is a "she."
20. Is there anything other type of items that you would like to add to your current shop? Oh yes, all the time! I love organizing, and containers fascinate me. My current idea involves sturdy lidded crochet containers that are pretty enough to be on display.

Welcome Wendy!
Hi All!
I look forward to getting to know you all! (I live in NC but am a transplant from NJ so I can't say "yous guys"...LOL - hope someone understands my humor....anyway hope my answers to the questionairre are not too bizarre.....nothing is black and white for me....BTW ...... means change in thought .....happy to be alive and coming up from a really bad time in my life....and have the faith that with God's help and a few good friends I will be back on top again.......
1. Shop Name(s)- Wendy's Angels 'N More
2. First Name - Wendy
5. Birthday Month/Day... May 30, 1960 (almost the big 50!)
6. What state/country do you live in? - North Carolina, just north of Charlotte - anyone close? I just got my house back after a long bitter dispute - would love to know some Christian people in my area for friendship and networking - I have been out of work for over a year and am hoping that my passion - crafting - will become my income source.
7. Do you have any children? Will you tell us their lst name and age? Sean 28 & Megan 25
8. How long have you been crafting what you sell on Etsy? - about a year - but been crafting since I could walk and talk....LOL!
9. When you have free time, what do you like to do? Craft of course - doesn't everyone???
10. Are you on a ministry team at your church or do you have your own ministry? Not on Ministry Team - Seeking a new church.
11. How long have you been a Christian? - All of my life but only recently realized that my faith in God is the only thing I need in my life and all else will follow.
13. What would you like to do that you have not done yet? Find peace with myself

Sorry none of the above - had way too much excitement in the past few years & sitting by the pool is great but don't want to be waited on - I would rather be in house on the beach with my pups and fish - crafting away and walking or sitting on the beach talking to God! I have always lived near the ocean until I moved to NC from NJ - I find my peace and my Father at the beach - I can think and breath and connect while I look out over the horizon.
