Louise Knits

My name is Luz which means "light" in Spanish. I am from the Dominican Republic but came to United States in 1997 to live in Miami, Florida with my 2 year old boy. I met my husband right before hurracaine Katrina and got married two years later in 2007. We moved to Lafayette, Lousiana, but the transition was really hard for me and my husband who also loves Florida decided it was time to move back there. We moved, stayed there for 2 years (2009 - 2011) but two months ago we had to move back to Lafayette, because of my husband's job. Because I have not found a job, I decided to turn my passion to create jewelry into my business, and to use my name as my concept. "Be the light" is what every woman has to be.

My name is Andréa from Stitch Silly.  I make handmade items to for families.  I have been sewing and knitting for as long as I can remember.  After some encouragement from from friends, I opened my Etsy shop in April.  While I haven't had any sales directly from the site, I've made a few sales from other venues.  I love creating new and interesting items in all craft forms.  I'm always on the look out for new and interesting ideas.  You never know what will inspire you next. This is just a part-time adventure for me right now.  In my regular day job, I am a systems engineering consultant.  I like to think my engineer and creative sides build on each other.  Being an engineer makes the business side of this incredibly fun for me as well. Please stop by my shop and take a look around.  If there is something specific you are looking for, I am happy to discuss custom options with you.  You can find my shop at:  stitchsilly....

Joy Scott I grew up in Greenwich Village, NYC. Then I went on to get a degree in Fashion Merchandising; after graduation spending several years working for high end retailers. Wanting something more artistic, I went to work as a photo stylist, working with the team developing the props and layouts for a group of well known photographers in New York. Over the years I have tried painting in oils, acrylics and watercolors. During my search for the right artistic fit, I spent years working on the wheel in pottery. I couldn't find the colors in the glazes I needed to express myself. Finally after taking courses in many different areas I found my calling in fused glass. I spent months taking courses in Arizona developing techniques and finding new methods to express my love of color and design... http://www.etsy.com/shop/ joyscottglass?ref=si_shop https://www.facebook.com/ pages/Coastal-Art-Glass/ 211101898916763 Website  www.coastalartglass.com ******** I adore books...
