There will be another give away starting on April 1rst! Be sure to come back and enter!!
#1. How did you decide on your shop name?
When I decided to offer my items for a purchase and needed a business name , I have done lot of thinking before I choose to be simply Dasha’s Creations .My name is Dasha and I enjoy many type of crafts involving working with a fiber like a quilting , embroidery , crochet, and knitting . Right now I’m hooked on making Whimsical and girly bags but I’m hoping to offer other items than bags in a near future , and I did not want my business name to be referred to any specific craft . I like simple and personal things .
#2. When did you start crafting?
I have been crafting ever since I can remember .My mom could never sit still , she always had to knit or stitch something and she was always keeping me and my sister busy with some project . We were also encouraged to make a handmade gifts . I was not able to do much when my kids were born but I slowly getting more time to craft without feeling too guilty about it .
#3. What or who inspires you?
I get inspired mostly by people who like and enjoy what I make . Also craft world is very inspiring and full of talented , supportive and generous people , it amazes me every day . And of course a fabric that I must have and get me all exited and thinking….what can I make ….
#4. Do you have a day job?
Yes , I do have a day job . I’m stay at home mom with 5 boys and my husband works long and unpredictable hours . My oldest son is almost 10 and my youngest son is almost 3 . I craft whenever my kids are content and they are used it . But I’m always on call . It feels great when my kids ask me , if they can have one of my bags for their teacher as a gift .
#5. What is the item in your shop you enjoyed making the most and why?
This is very hard to tell . I’ve had enjoyed to make every one of my bags . But if I really have to name just one it would be the Floral handbag . I’ve had bunch of scraps of lovely fabrics thinking of way how to use them and was really pleased with the result . I tend to get bored doing same thing over and over but I can imagine to make many more similar bags .http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=12090959
