Feature Friday, EmptyNestEgg

Today's great Friday Feature shop is emptynestegg

1)      Tell us about yourself, your shop and what brought you to the Etsy community.

   I come from a family that has always crafted. Knitting, sewing, tatting, beading and such.  I first started Beading in 1969 when I spent 4 months in total bed rest due to arthritis in my knees. It turned out to be Lyme disease and I am fine now the arthritis went away. The beading has stayed with me all these years.

I thought about Etsy for about a year before listing. I always wondered what people were talking about when they praised their teams. Teams are the best part of Etsy. 

2) Walk us through a typical day in your life.

   I do most of my beading at night while watching TV a plastic dish full of beads and tools is always at hand. I don’t have a studio or assigned space. My finished jewelry is all in tackle boxes and my projects are ready to take on the road if I want. Beading is so portable I often bead on road trips while my husband drives.

3) Name your top 3:

-Books

 I am sorry to hear that my favorite author Dick Francis died this week. After that it is just about any mystery.
-Music

  No real favorites just what comes over the radio.
-Movies OR TV shows

  Any Red Sox Game is the best thing on, after that Lost still holds my interest.
-Websites

 Facebook and Twitter

4) Where do you hope your shop will be in 1 year?

  Like everyone else I hope to be a successful shop. I am always working on new items and colors.

5) What is one of your favorite shops on Etsy?

 I don’t have any favorites as the choices are too many.  As I search for items for treasuries I am continually amazed by the talent and wide variety of the crafters of Etsy. It is like a great small gift shop with endless shelves of perfect gifts. 

6) What projects are you currently working on?

  My next project is to start a line on wedding jewelry. I start with items that catch my eye and then test different stitches and forms till I have something I like. After that I have items that caught my eye and I am still wondering what I will do with them.

  7) If you could have 1 super power, what would it be and why?

  I would wish to be with my customers when they open their package so I could see their reaction.
