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.
