Blogiversary: Wattlebird

This giveaway is now closed

HOWDY! Everyone! It's almost the end of my work day for this lovely Wednesday, so I wanted to get in another fantastic giveaway for you!

My fellow Michiganer here Anne Pilon of Wattlebird who is not only a talented knitter, she also designs banners for blogs and etsy stores. WOW! Let's find out a bit more about her shall we?

1. Tell us a little bit about yourself
My name is Annie, and I’m a writer/designer living in Southeast Michigan. I love
knitting, animals, and anything nerdy.

2. What got you started with your craft
I’ve been crafting since I can remember. It’s always been my favorite thing to do. I
opened my Etsy shop over a year ago, because I simply had too much stuff that I had
made and I needed to get rid of it (haha). As far as designing blogs, I’ve been doing that
officially for a couple of months. I got into it because I was always redesigning my own
blog and really enjoyed it. Then I had a few blog friends ask me for help and the rest is
history!

3. What inspires you
Oh boy – everything! I don’t think there’s just one answer to this question. If you just
keep your eyes open, inspiration finds you everywhere.

4. Is your craft full-time or part-time
Full-time, sort of. My full time job is a mixture of freelance projects, and though some
are less creative than others, they all deal with writing/design/craft.

5. What do you love most about your crafts?
It’s something that’s totally mine. When you create something from scratch, it’s just
amazing. I also love that I’ve been able to mold it into a business that’s now a pretty
significant part of my job.

6. When did you start crafting
In the womb, maybe? I really don’t remember.

7. If you’re not crafting what else are you doing?
Writing, probably. I don’t do much besides work these days, because I really love what I
do. I also watch a lot of movies (while working, usually).

8. Why do you craft
Because I love it. It’s so much fun.

9. Coffee or tea
Can I have both?? I guess if I had to choose one, coffee. But I really do love tea.

10. Favorite color and why
Yellow, definitely. It’s so bright and happy.
