I like crocheting because it's a way for me to relax and be creative. I can get inspiration from anywhere but I tend to like creating things that are cute and adorable.

Take lots of good pictures and be patient. It's something that I'm still working on too...

How do you discover new things on Etsy?
I found a lot of new things from treasuries and also from chatting with other Etsy people on forms and chats. I've also found a lot of great shops by joining an Etsy team too!
