Rotifera Etsy Shop

Rose Meister

I began making hair accessories for myself on the side, and friends began asking me “Where did you get that cute flower in your hair, Rose?”

Thus began the adventure that is Rotifera. The first step was choosing a shop name….. As a biology major in college (I graduated with highest honors from the University of Michigan, ya’ll! Go Blue!), I wanted something nerdy and quirky to name the shop….

Rotifera- This is the phylum name for a type of microscopic animal that translates to “wheel-bearing”. They are beautiful, whimsical, and unique. This represents how I think about hair accessories. We don’t NEED them, but we love to invoke a little of our personality into what we wear.

I love the whimsy and fun you can have with a simple affordable hair accessory, and I’ve created my products to share that joy!

I’ve opened this shop to showcase my line of hair accessories- buttons, fabric flowers, and rick-rack hair accessories.

Liberty Threads Crochet Shop

Amy Michelle from Liberty Threads Shop

Amy Michelle

Hello, my name is Amy Pierce, owner and operator of Liberty Threads. I am a stay at home wife and mom. I am madly in love with my husband of 6 years. He is an inspiration to my work and encourages me in all of my crochet ventures. My children are four and two. I am currently homeschooling my four-year old, we do a mixture of pre-k and kindergarten work.

I absolutely adore my work, I am able to work when the kids are napping or going to bed for the night. Currently, I am working on a few amazing projects; a red riding hood cape for a photographer, a beautiful flowered scarf for a photographer and a few Christmas orders that I am finishing up. (I still have to sit down and crochet all of my family and friends Christmas presents too….)

I am excited to announce that I am coming out with a line of products for photographers. They are unique pieces that will add a little “pop and boom” to the shots. They will be for sale, however, I will be renting most of them. My business is headed more in the direction of teen/adult items, although I do still love to make hats for children. Thank you for stopping by and checking out Liberty Threads!

Lit Jewelry by Jess Etsy Shop

Jessica Rose

My name is Jessica Rose, but my friends call me Jess, so lets just stick with that. 🙂 I’m 26, and in love with my life! I wear many hats: wife & mom (aka. errand runner, house cleaner, cook, boo-boo kisser, tickle machine, etc. 🙂 ), employee, and jewelry maker!
My husband and I met in college, and fell pretty quickly for each other. It wasn’t love at first sight, but something like that. The conversation was easy, and we felt an instant connection. And we’ve been married for 4 1/2 years now!

We have two babies: Ryder (2 yrs.) and Mila (1 yrs.).My children and my man are the loves of my life. And even tho my kiddos run around the house causing yelling at the tops of their lungs and leave toys everywhere, It’s all part of my crazy beautiful life!

Oh, and there’s this other thing I love: making jewelry! Its been a passion of mine for a few years now. I love the opportunities it brings to meet so many great, amazing people! It all started when my husband gave me a jewelry making kit for Christmas one year. And the rest, as they say, is history. Now I have a website up where I sell some of my pieces. I also have the opportunity to do house parties for my jewelry. Those are really fun because we do drawings, and people win free pieces. In addition to the website and the house parties, I make custom jewelry as well, whether it be casual or more dressy. I’ve done jewelry for weddings, as well, which I especially love because I get to work hand in hand with the bride, designing pieces for her and/or her bridesmaids!

I hope you get a chance to come check out my site full of little lovelies! If you’d like custom/wedding pieces as well please contact me on Etsy or via email! Thank you!!! 🙂

Adopting Nations Etsy Shop

Adopting Nations Etsy Shop

Jen Ruble

Our biggest passion is to see others put their hope and trust in Christ. God has set the nations in our heart and has blessed us over the years to travel to many nations on missions trips. Through that, we have felt the desire to adopt internationally from Africa and start a family. Our hope is to adopt two kids! Therefore, I named our store: Adopting Nations

Since we are both school teachers, and adoption is very costly, I began to think of ways to raise money after school hours and remembered that I can sew! My grandma taught me at a young age, and I love the idea that even though she isn’t with me physically, her legacy lives on through my sewing and is bring her great grandchildren home. I love fabrics, especially ones I find internationally like batiks, and I love the creative process as well. I sew anything my heart can dream up but mostly home decor items such as pillowcases, blankets, purses, tote bags, etc…

Besides raising money for our adoption, my hope is that people will be encouraged by the story of our journey to trust God more in their own adoption journey or whatever it is that they are believing to happen in their families. You can follow our journey and read our story on our Adopting Nations Blog.

(Don’t you feel as if you are right there with Jen and Jeremy? Check out all their pics on facebook to really get a feel of what their craft shows look/feel like! from Thaleia)
