Monday Marketplace Featuring Cat

1. What is the name of your Etsy shop and why did you choose that name?
 
My Etsy shops name is CatsDesigns and I chose it 

because those are the 

initials in my name and at the time I 

couldn't think of anything else.

2. How long have you been on Etsy?
I joined Etsy in March of 2008.

3. What type of items do you offer?
I offer Prim and Folkart decorations 

for your home, dolls, 

handbags and jewelry.
 
4. How long have you been crafting?
It seems like I've been crafting all my life. 

When I was younger 

we didn't have a television until I was 

10 years old, 

so I use to design dresses for my dolls 

out of old clothes.

5. Who or What inspires you?
God inspires me the most by allowing

me to do what I love 

to do. Also the many pattern 

designers who come up with 

these fabulous designs.  Right now 

I am most inspired by artists 

like Terrye French, Renee Mullins 

and Jamie Mills Price.  My favorite

doll designers are Maureen at 

Sweet Meadows Farm and Kat from Kats 

Country Prims.
6. What is your favorite item in your shop and why?
It's hard to pick just one item it 

changes with what I'm doing at 

the time.  I love painting and sewing for

the seasons.
