This week's featured Etsy Artist is Diana over at Diana's Creation Station. She does amazing things with yarn, like these adorable mouse baby booties!Tell me two (or more!) interesting things about you.
I've delivered babies that wouldn't wait for the OB doc. Ex-RN after a car crash left me too damaged to return. Homeschooled 2 boys 3rd grade to graduation.
What do you sell in your Etsy shop?
Baby Booties, hats, mitts, diaper shirts, ponchos, young children to older kids apparel and accessories as well as some items for adults.

To which Etsy Street Teams do you belong? Etsykids and EtsyFAST
What inspires your creations?
The yarn. I love working with different fibers and all the wonderful colors available.
Tell me a bit about your creative process and/or how you learned to do what you do.
I learned to crochet when I was 9. My mother taught me the basics after the optometrist said my eyes needed focus exercises.
I started free form crocheting back then and continue creating in this manner. I do like learning new stitches, play around with them and see what it inspires me to make.
What is your favorite item in your shop (currently for sale or previously sold)? Why is it your favorite?
The Autumn Afghan. The color, the season, an item that makes me feel at peace every time I look at it. If it doesn't sell soon, I'll probably be wrapping myself in it as the temps get cooler outdoors.
What 3 words would you use to describe yourself?
sensitive, stubborn, family-oriented
What do you like about Etsy?
The Etsy Dreamers that built the site and all that have come along and are working to keep that dream alive. A diverse community of people selling and helping others to achieve a part of that pie.
What makes your shop unique?
I don't consider my shop unique. Perhaps, like all the other shops it's the unseen faces and stories behind the scenes is where the true uniqueness would be found. For me, the creations are an expression of the people making them.
What advice do you have for other folks selling or buying on Etsy?
~Sellers: Believe in yourself, love what you do, learn as much as you have time to learn, live life away from the pc occasionally, promote everywhere you can. Don't fret if sales are slow. It's hard I know, it seems many of us are in need of a cashflow.
~Buyers: Read profiles, feedback and don't be afraid to contact sellers with requests or questions.
Where else can we find out more about you and/or your creations (please include a link)?
