Wednesday Wishlist: Circle of Friends

It's been a while since I posted a Wednesday Wishlist...heck, it's been a while since I posted at all (shame on me!)...so today I'd like to pay tribute to some of the fine, talented folks that can be found in my Circle of friends on Etsy.  As of last count I've added about 90 artisans to my Circle and am always on the hunt for more.  I'll dedicate more Wishlists to these fabulous friends of mine but for now, I present you with a random selection of pure awesomeness.  To learn more about the featured item and the artist's shop, right click on the shop links to open up a new window.

Wednesday Wishlist: Etsy's Create Crochet Team

For this week’s Wednesday Wishlist I want to give a nod to my fellow team members from Etsy’s Create Crochet Team, made up of Etsians from all over the world. I’ve got to tell you the talent on this Team is extraordinary. Arm these fine folks with a crochet hook and some yarn and there’s no telling what they’ll whip up. I am constantly inspired by the items these good people list in their shops, and am proud to be part of such a wonderful Team.

And I just have to mention that the Create Crochet group is a kind, caring, compassionate bunch as evidenced by the frenzied crocheting of chemo caps and other items to benefit Relay for Life in which one of our own team members, Creationsbym2, is participating.  For details on this Charity Event, check out the Team Blog.  Be sure to check out our Team's Facebook Page as well.

Please show my team members some love by right-clicking on their shop names to open their Etsy shop in a new window. Let’s hear it for Create Crochet!
