Littlest Sister Crafts


*Where are you from? Tell us a bit about yourself.
I was born in Southern New Jersey, but have lived in South Africa, Uruguay, Brazil and now Tennessee. I've always loved using my hands and want to try everything-which makes it hard to narrow down my shop to one specific type of craft. I think my mother recognized this in me and taught me everything she knew how to do starting at a young age.

*How did you decide on your shop name? Why did you start your business?
I chose my shop name mainly because I have two sisters and I am the youngest. As we grow older, we have started calling each other big sister, middle sister and little sister. To my oldest sister I am the littlest sister!

My shop has been a long time adventure I wanted to try, but have always had an excuse to put it off. I finally made the decision to go for it and do what I really enjoy in the hopes that someone will enjoy it too.

*What are 5 things you want people to think when they see your product?
When people visit my shop I want them to see:
happy, imaginative, nostalgic, sweet, and cozy items
-something they can picture in their own home.

*What’s your supply addiction; is there a specific color or type of supply you just
can’t pass up?
My supply addiction is just about anything and everything! Lately what takes the lead are yarn and fabric. I can't pass up a good vintage item that has definitely upcycling possibilities!

*What do you do when you’re not being an artist? What activities do you enjoy?
Besides working on items for my shop, I enjoy taking care of my family-my husband, cat and dog-all of whom have been on this great journey with me for years. I love to bake and cook, make jams and pickles, and enjoy the area around me-the Great Smoky Mountains.

* Is this your first craft adventure or have you tried other crafts? What would you like to try?
This shop is my first serious craft adventure. Years ago I entered a few craft shows with hand painted things, but didn't really have the time to devote to it. My favorites of what I have tried so far are sewing, quilting, crochet, cross stitch, painting and refinishing furniture.

The next two crafts that are on my list are basket making and weaving. I have a deep appreciation for traditional crafts and want to learn them all-even if I just try it once and decide not to do it again!


*What keeps you motivated?
My motivation is all around me-in nature, history, people's faces. My imagination tends to run wild....

*If you could give a piece of advice to a new shop - what would it be?
My advice for a new shop-be patient and flexible. Pay attention to what people are drawn to in your shop and go for it!

*Are there other places on the net we can find you?
I am not very high-tech, in fact extremely low-tech! I do have fun with Pinterest. I think it's a great way to see what people are interesting in. I am there with this link pinterest.com/littlestsister

Kali's Kreations - hand knits


*Where are you from? Tell us a bit about yourself.
I'm from Southern California but I currently live in Colorado Springs, CO. I learned to knit when I was 10 years old. My grandma taught me. After she died I was curious about crochet. I taught myself to crochet and have been addicted ever since. I guess you could call it a drug of choice for me.

*How did you decide on your shop name? Why did you start your business?
My shop name came from a nick name I acquired back in high school. I had a very terrible dye job and was being called calico. Eventually it was shortened to Cali but I didn't like it being confused with California so I changed it to Kali. I started my shop because I knit/crochet for fun but I very much enjoy selling my stuff.

*What are 5 things you want people to think when they see your product?
I want people to think my stuff is cute, unique, creative, a must have and that my listing must be passed on.

*What’s your supply addiction; is there a specific color or type of supply you just can’t pass up?
I love yarn. Being a knitter/crocheter I guess thats a must. I don't have a
specific color but if I can look at a skein of yarn and see something I want to make I must buy it.

*What do you do when you’re not being an artist? What activities do you enjoy?
When I'm not working with yarn I enjoy going on hikes with my husband. We've been married under a year and he is in the air force. Spending time with him is my favorite thing to pass the time.

*Which item in your shop did you enjoy making the most and why?
My favorite listing in my shop is either my owl tote or the knitting needle bangles. I love a challenge. The owl tote pattern was new and entertaining to make. The knitting needle bangles were the most frustrating thing to figure out. I broke several of them trying to figure out how to make them but I found it rewarding when I finally did.


*What keeps you motivated?
New challenges keep me motivated. I enjoy trying new patterns and teaching myself new stitches. I like looking at something I think I can't make and proving myself wrong.

*If you could give a piece of advice to a new shop - what would it be?
My advice to others is to join teams. Joining different teams gets my shop exposure to different crowds. I think it generates most of my views.

* Is this your first craft adventure or have you tried other crafts? What would you like to try?
I would like to get into quilting but first I must learn to sew!

*Are there other places on the net we can find you?
I can be found on facebook and twitter.
@kalijames13 is my twitter account.
I use both sites to promote my shop.
