HollieLollie

Hello everyone..I'ts HollieLollie

I am a mother of a gorgeous little girl and boy living in Bridgend. I am a trained teacher and have taught in primary schools for many years...recently 'retiring' ; ) to spend more quality time with Sam and Hollie(Lollie).

I have always loved anything to do with art, design and craft but with the arrival of my two little monkeys have had very little spare time to divulge in anything creative.

.....but the time has come for my youngest to start school part time and although the house is far toooooooo quiet and I feel as if I have a missing limb!!!! I have suddenly found time and rediscovered how much I love and enjoy designing and creating.

I have thoroughly enjoyed setti
ng up my shop HollieLollie in Etsy and am thrilled to have been included in a treasury...fingers crossed for a front page one day! ; )

I am soooooooo excited to be a part of team Wales and am looking forward to getting to know everyone

PinkieKinch & Praise Art

Hello Etsians and fellow crafters!

I'm Joanna and a happy member of Team Cymru.

I have lived away from my Welsh motherland for 15 years perhaps, but i've been back now for three years and am crafting with a gusto.

My two great passions are beading and printing, oh as well as my husband and my little dog.  So that's more than two passions!   As well as this I love interior design and would really love to do more with my garden.

I have a beading site on Etsy! Yeah for Etsy, as well as Folksy. PinkieKinch is my beading pen name. As well as this, I run a printing business KinchPrint, this is where Praise Art comes in, it's my specialist range of handprinted inspirational wares. So as you can imagine things can get a little complicated around here, that all adds to the fun though.

Since being on Etsy, I've met some lovely people and I'm sure they'll be joining us here on Team Cymru.   I am really looking forward to seeing how out little Team develops.

TTFN Joanna
