When did you first start crafting?
As a child, I used to do cross-stitch and tried my hand at crochet. During high school, I moved onto simple beading projects. Most of my crafting time disappeared through my college years (I was lucky to find time to read a book for pleasure, let alone craft something!), though I did take a pottery class as an elective. That was fun times! I recently got back into beading/jewelry-making.



Got a day job? What is it?
I do. I'm a Network Administrator for an electrical manufacturer. Another cohort and I keep our computer systems up and running for about 500 users. Some days are easier than others... But, after being on a computer all day, it's nice to go home and bend wire or string beads.

What creation are you most proud of and why?



My amber bracelet. It's one of my earlier creations. I decided to wrap the jump rings I made to give it some interest. I love how it turned out.

What's the ugliest thing you ever made?
I made some pretty ugly Mardi Gras masks (think feathers exploding, glitter paint everywhere...) as a pre-teen.

Explain your etsy shop name.
Mimi & Neccie
My 2 year old daughter has a bear blanket lovey, one of those loveys with a small bear with a small square of fabric attached. One day, she started calling the bear "Mimi". Probably "Meme", more accurately - she is two after all!
She also has an amber teething necklace that she likes to wear. She couldn't say "necklace", though. It comes out as "nessy".

Angelina or Jen?
What exactly are whe choosing here? Which one I need to off so Brad Pitt ends up as my love slave? (Obviously, I choose Angelina, then) ; )

Final words?
Thank you for giving Etsy sellers another forum to get the word out!
