1.Tell me a little about yourself, and how you became interested in knitting/crafting in general.

I grew up around the art and craft, my grandmother could knit, crochet, sew. When when my grandmother used to knit, I’d watch and think how magical it was that the yarn could turn into such beauty. I loved the way my grandmother’s motions were so natural. I strived to make my grandmother’s natural talent mine own and for years has been devoting my time to creating yarnful masterpieces for friends and family. And now I do it for sell.

2. What made you decide to start an etsy shop?

My friends and my family inspired me to open my shop. Every time I was knitting or crocheting my friends told me, it is so beautiful, you have to sell it, open a business or sell online. And one day I made a decision to open a shop on Etsy and sell handmade accessories and clothing.


3. Do you do all the knitting yourself, and when do you find the time to create so many beautiful products?

Yes, I am making everything by myself for my Etsy shop. I have plenty of time, I am part time yoga instructor and rest of the time including weekends I can create.

4. Do you have any advice for someone interested in starting an etsy business?

If you really want your business to be successful you have to work hard – great photos, right descriptive tags, great customer service and a lot of advertising.

I just love the way Tanya packages her art. Don't you? Pic by Accessodium.

  1. Every year since I can ever remember my mom and I have made Christmas cookies together. I look forward to the quality time with my mom every year and it’s the perfect excuse to indulge in a bunch of cookies!! I have a daughter of my own now to carry on the tradition with!!

  2. I’ve always been fascinated by Christmas lights. It doesn’t happen every year, but sometimes my husband and I will drive around on Christmas night, just admiring all the lit up houses. It relieves the gloom of winter and early sunsets.

    1. Sometimes the dreariness of winter gets to me as well, Alana. I love driving around looking at lights as well. I always plan to do that, but rarely seem to make time for it. Hope you and your hubbie had a wonderful Christmas!

  3. My favorite christmas tradition is going to church christmas eve then driving around town looking at christmas lights 🙂

  4. Just spending time with family! On Christmas day we spend time with my husband’s family. We eat a great big potluck lunch, a secret santa, and gift exhange.

  5. That neck warmer is adorable! My favorite Christmas tradition is my whole family getting new, matching pajamas on Christmas Eve that we wear while we play board games.
