Crocheted things are just adorable, and around your neck they are typically referred to as a scarf but now there is a new twist on the classic craft, mixed with fun statement necklaces that will have you lining up for more! Laci, of Zig-Zags, has found the perfect way to craft this quaint craft into a fun fashion statement!

1. When/how did you learn to crochet?
I can't even REMEMBER, probably since I was born :)! But I do know that my mother definitely taught me everything, although at one point I had to re-learn everything since I stopped doing it for a long while :)
2. What inspired you to be a Crafty Entrepreneur?
A desperate need to be MORE than just MOM. I love, love, love my kids but I needed ME time you know?
3. What do you love most about your shop currently?
The colors! blues greens reds, yellows purples, yes yes yes! Item-wise it would have to be all my necklaces that I have recently posted :)
4. What can we expect to see from you in the future?
Clothing! I just bought my first surger, and I can't wait to make some things, I have lots of ideas already, I was just waiting on the proper tools to make them !
5. If you could have a super power what would it be?
NEVER NEED SLEEP! I would get SOOO much more done if the pesky Sandman kept away! Plus before I had kids I was a complete night owl. I could stay up all night long and feel just fine but now I know I will regret it if I stay up too late (especially since my 3 year old son likes to wake up early and have a picnic with random food in front of the fridge with the door wide open...and for WHO KNOWS how long!) GRRR! :)
6. Anything else you would like to mention?
I just wanted to mention to any new Etsiens a few things I have learned in the short amount of time I have been running my shop: I have found, (and read) that really you should focus on a small selection of items at first, see what sells well, and MAKE MORE! I know you want to go crazy showing the world EVERYTHING you can do, but seriously, it will cause you a lot less stress to just take it easy, and find your niche. Also, make friends, read Etsy's forums, and comment comment comment... and NOT in a spammy sort of way, but a friendly get-to-know-you-and-support-you sort of way :) This is all about community, and communication and friendship, USE it! It is not only beneficial, but FUN!
