This is what Brook like to share about her store and herself!
What’s your store name and how long have you been an Etsymom?
My shop name is SewBrookie and I have been a member of EtsyMom since October 2009.
How did you get started as an artist?I don’t think I would label myself as an “artist,” a term I tend to associate with someone who paints or sculpts. I am more of a crafter/sewer. It started as a mere hobby, but quickly turned into something more. Instead of having all my crafting ventures sitting in a closet somewhere, I decided to give Etsy a shot and haven’t looked back.
What sets you apart from other people making similar items?I work full-time, supporting my hubby, our two young boys, and four animals. Being the head of the household has its challenges and can be a bit scary at times, but coming home to my three boys after work is amazing.
Becoming a seller on Etsy has been my way to escape the day-to-day grind. It is truly gratifying when someone else likes what I do enough to spend their hard-earned income on it. Every sale makes my heart flutter and my smile widen. It has been a wonderful experience.
What’s your favorite valentine’s item in your store?
Give us one tip on how you managed to create/sell/manage your store and at the same time be a busy mom?
I try to get my two boys involved in my crafting whenever possible. Okay, it is not often, but occasionally I can get them to tell me which color they like better or even help me cut out fabric or pattern pieces. Beyond that, I use the weekends and evenings to do most of my sewing. It is a good way to wind down the day and have some precious time to myself.
The winner of this giveaway will receive the Valentine Brooch from Sewbrookie. (So pretty i am totally in love with it! Actually I love all of her items!)
