Am many years ago started a private shop. It was full of homemade items. Clay dough figures, wooden pieces, jumping jacks, painted wooden boxes, stuffed animals, baby clothes from fabric, tea cosy and whatnot more. Delicious, every day a new challenge. Then came a nice job on my path and I didn't have time to fill in more to my creative aspirations. Have very long to kick the habit. After my retirement, I have the thread again picked up and have started with bags, stuffed toys, dolls and much more. Have a few years had a own webshop but then discovered Dawanda, a kind of German Etsy. There was a great sell. Meanwhile also got work with paper/cardboard an important place. After 4 years on Dawanda became there the conditions suddenly much more expensive, so I decided to try it on Etsy and here I stand with a modest number of articles. Have over 1000 items in stock. I'm going to put a lot on sale on Etsy and hope to get some space in our home. In the summer I work less but in winter I'm working every day with my hobby. I make nothing in command, since I have no good experience with it. Am now 69 but hope to be able to do for many years. At my listings I have no long stories but know I make everything with lots of love and fun. This is a wonderful hobby for me where I don't have to be rich from. If I can pay my materials around I'm already very satisfied.
Dear greetings, Doortje.
