Hi there and happy Heart Month!
My name is Megan Moore and I was asked by the Etsy SK team to talk a little bit about why February (Heart Month) is so important to me and my family.

I am a mother of 4 and two of those four children were born with Congenital Heart defects (or CHD). Both of my heart girls are doing really well at the moment but they have had two open heart surgeries each, along with other procedures, IV’s, doctor’s appointments and more.

February and Valentine’s Day has now come to hold an extra special meaning to our family because it reminds us just how lucky we are to have our two heart warriors still with us. They are so very strong and brave. They have been through so much more than anyone should have to go through at such a young age - and they have the scars to prove it.

Before my daughter, Chloe, was diagnosed with CHD, I had no idea how common it is. Approximately 1 in every 100 babies born will have some kind of CHD, making it one of the most common birth defects.

I hope that in sharing our story it can help raise awareness for congenital heart defects.

Our shop is called Imagine Yarn Finds and we opened in 2016.
We have been crocheting and creating art since childhood and became more serious about it in the last 5 years.

I remember visiting my grandma and she helping me to fix my attempt at crocheting a granny square sweater that I was trying to do for school. My obsession with natural yarn when I got older, guided me back to the art of crocheting.

We love the new trend in fashion where a single crochet item rounds off the modern look. Our focus is on unique items made of natural fibres and elements. We make unique wet felted bags for the modern woman who needs a statement piece to complement her style. We needle felt hand dyed mohair and wool locks on these bags. Leather handles complete these functional beauties.
We offer handcrafted wooden crochet hooks to the trendy crocheter who believes in the comfortable feel experienced when natural yarn is worked with a hook made of wood. Our hooks come with a felted bag to keep it protected.

To finish off the collection, we make the perfect crochet doll for that special little one in your life. Each doll has its own personality and will steal your heart.

We were avid buyers long before we opened our shop. Etsy provided us with that unique gift that was perfect for the special people in our life. And that drew us to Etsy as the platform where we want to share our unique products with the world. Its amazing be surrounded by other artists on Etsy.

Tooth Fairy Art Psychedelic Decor

How long have you been doing your craft? I have always been creative. As a teenager, I spent lunch time in the school art studio, developing my own unique style. I spent hours experimenting with visual art mediums. When my shop first opened I decided to learn wire jewelry making to expand my skillset.

How did you get started? The birth of my son inspired me to follow two of my biggest dreams: starting my own business, and pursuing my artistic abilities. I NEVER expected these two dreams to collide! Etsy was the perfect match.

Where else can people find you online? I sell exclusively on Etsy. I can also be found on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. My email is bnbzboutiqu3@gmail.com.

What do you like about selling on Etsy? The community behind Etsy keeps me coming back. The forums, teams, groups on Facebook and other social media, and YouTube channels, make learning and connecting with other makers so easy.

What brought you to Etsy? I have been on Etsy for about 10 years as a buyer, so it was the first place I thought of when I decided to give my art business a shot.

What's been your best Etsy experience? I sold three orders in one day! These were my first three sales and they went off without a hitch. One of them was a custom psychedelic commission, which made me super proud (she pre-paid!). I couldn’t have asked for more friendly or supportive clients.

Is there anything else you would like to share with us about your shop or yourself? My psychedelic artwork encourages everyone to show off the parts of themselves that can’t be put into words. Each piece is designed completely from my imagination! I try to offer different sizes/prices so there is something for everyone.

Is there anything else you would like to share with us about your shop or yourself? I've always been a creative person. My craft gives me a chance to be creative in my everyday life (as my education doesn't involve much creativity).
