Crafters Welcome!

Etsyhookers Team

I have always wondered how people can spend hours upon hours at the computer. Don't they have a life? And then I discovered Etsy, a place where people from all walks of life sell their handmade items. I signed up and began posting my original crochet patterns for sale there, along with the finished items. I was hooked. If I wasn't creating new crochet items and writing down the directions, I was looking at the work of other Etsy sellers and looking for new materials to use in my designs. Then I signed up to be on the Etsyhookers team - a group of Etsy sellers in love with crochet. I found myself spending most of my free time at the computer, and as I attempted to do more things with the computer and the Internet, I felt more at home in Cyberspace. The Etsyhookers team is in the process of moving their group from Ning to Facebook, and that is yet another learning experience, as I add more content to the new site.

My life away from the computer takes me to the hospital, where I work in Labor and Delivery as a tech. I take care of the needs of patience, assist the nurses and doctors, supply our department with materials needed to function, and assist in surgery when it's necessary. I work twelve hour shifts, usually three days a week, and although it's physically demanding sometimes, I love it. I work with a great team of women who are passionate about their jobs.

My recreation away from work and the computer includes photography, travel, knit and crochet, jewelry making, beadwork, painting and drawing, fishing, writing, and astrology. You may see a little bit of all these activities in my posts.

This is the beginning of a new facet of my Etsy experience, and my plan is to link my blog to Etsy and share life with my friends. Thanks for viewing.
