Back in September, we briefly shared with you an ADORABLE photo prop we found on Etsy {see here}. Since then, we have been working with the designer, Kim, to bring you an exclusive interview and giveaway!
Kim and her mom |
We asked Kim a few questions to get to know her better and what inspires her passion and creativity. Here, she tells us all the details!
{1} Tell us about yourself and your shop, Cotton Corner...
I am a mother of six children ranging in ages of 15 to 4 years old. I have a
wonderful Husband who has supported me in my goal of staying home to care for our children. And though things have been tight at times we have been able to accomplish this.
{2} What inspired you to start your business?
I developed a love for crafting, sewing, and embroidery at an early age from my own mother. I did not know how to crochet until just recently. I saw some adorable crocheted hats and wanted to learn how to make them. Having such a talented mother has been a great blessing she showed me the basic stitches. From there I started making all kinds of crocheted items and learning more and more along the way. This opened a door for me to begin my own little business on ETSY.
{3} What is your favorite part about owning your own business?
I love to create things for people and my ETSY shop allows me to do this. I love that I can stay home with our youngest daughter and still help our family financially.
{4} Do you have a favorite item or best seller?
My best selling items are the ankle booties. They are a great way to keep little toes warm and protected and very stylish too!
{5} What's up next for Cotton Corner?
In the future I hope to expand and offer even more items such as scarves, blankets for photo shoots, a wider variety of hats, diaper covers and more. A special thanks to the momAHOLIC diaries for the opportunity to showcase some of my items from my shop in a giveaway.
{aww thank YOU Kim!}
