Howdy, thanks for inviting me to this group. I honestly didn't know there were groups here. As my username suggests, my name is Amy and I'm the crazy person that runs Amy's Treasures Design. Cousin It is my office companion, he keeps me saner than I feel.
In all seriousness though, I used to sell handmade jewelry on etsy, started there in 2007. I closed my shop around 7 years later and right before the pandemic, I set up my website. I sell a mix of things with a mix of my own designs and public domain stuff. My own designs vary from plain text to text and graphics. Although the number of items that have graphics on them is far less. Those take more time (duh) and my drawing skills (even in inkscape) aren't what they used to be. I work in manufacturing by day and sell, or more realistically, list my items by night and on weekends. I'm insanely busy these days with work and home life stuff so my website stuff is sort of put on hold. I list items sporadically when I have a spare moment or two.
I currently live in IL but might be moving to WI in the near future. I live with my 85 year old mom, and am her primary care taker. She's not bed ridden or anything that sever, but needs help with things. We/she accepted an offer on the house, this week and we're trying to find something else quickly. It's a terrible time to buy and sell but no one listens to me. Why listen to the Purchasing person in the family? /sarcasm
Aside from all of this, I'm a fan of anime, sci-fi, the NCIS shows and a lot of other shows and movies. I attend C2E2 (for the comic con folks here, C2E2 is what Wizard World/Comic Con was back in the early 2000s) when I get the time to go. I'll pop in from time to time when I have time and energy to do so.
For now, I leave you with a picture of Cousin It waiting for trick or treating to start, last year. Yes, I made him, I used to keep him at work at my last job.

Hello everyone. My name is Linda Oheron; live in the heart of the country (St. Louis, MO) and I own "Sweetheart's Dream." I'm a fluid artist and dabble with different media - like wood, canvas, glass, ceramics, etc. along with some vinyl and sublimation items like skinny tumblers, tote bags & other home decor items. The photo is one of my booths during a Christmas craft fair that I attended. There's also some "acrylic skin" jewelry too. I started this business during the pandemic - but am still having issues with getting my website off the ground - it just sits there (www.sweetheartsdream.com) so I'm doing lots of work and research to make it better and grow the business with a larger on-line presence. Excited for this group!
