    Righto, I'm from Leeds in West Yorkshire, it's pretty awesome but i'm sick of living at home with my mum! Wish etsy could earn me enough for rent! I've just finished a degree in web design but have since done no web design but a whole lotta jewellery making (it's waaay more fun). I love horror movies and cupcakes but the two rarely cross paths. I love video games and i would kill anyone who got between me and my DS. My hobbies are mostly crafty, i love embroidery, knitting (even tho im crap at it), photography, making web graphics etc. Erm, that's about it really :D i'm tremendously boring really!

    Blogging experience: Kind of sporadic. I can do it... I just forget to :p
    Graphic design experience: Yes
    HTML Experience: Yes
    Do you belong to another street team? Which one?: No
    Do you have time to be a moderator for our team?: I can find time!
    Are you free any weekday nights for chatroom meets?: Far too much free time now that education is finally over!
    Finally tell us a little bit about yourself (likes/dislikes/hobbies/work etc.):

    Okay, starting off I am from the ever so lovely Liverpool area (St Helens is you want to be REALLY precise). I have finally finished my BA in photography, not that I actually have plans to be a photographer anymore as making things is far more fun than hours alone in a dark room!
    Like the previous posts before me I am also a video game lover, nice to see someone else loves Resi/Silent Hill/Final fantasy! I always said the three could mix! Lets see... I work as a supervisor at Claire's Accessories, so I get to inflict pain upon people's ears on a daily basis ::evil grin:: My co workers probably think I'm really dull as I spend most of my time fiddling around with various new craft obsessions!

    Ok, a bit about me. I love cute stuff especially plushies. :) I happily enjoy making my amigurumi on the sofa watching sci fi tv shows and films in particular. :D

    I love video games especially my Nintendo DS and Wii and in particular enjoy RPGs but I like puzzle and platform games too. Oh and point and click adventures. :)

    I work full time in an office but love coming home to my boyfriend and two cats and try to get in as much crafting and gaming as I can in between reading, watching tv and films. Phew! Oh, I enjoy baking too.

    I dislike wasps, lol!

    Do you belong to another Street Team? Which one?: I think I'm in the etsy bloggers team and the uk team. Gosh that's bad that I can't remember! Will definitely remember this one though!

    Do you have time to be a Moderator for our Team?: Wish I did! The business is taking up all my time at the moment. Booked up with craft fairs, jewellery parties, jewellery making classes and running my etsy shop. PHEW!

    Are you free any weekday nights for chatroom meets?: Possibly! Would depend when! Don't seem to know what I'm doing from one day to the next!

    Finally, tell us a little bit about yourself (likes/dislikes/hobbies/work etc.):

    Well I love crafting, animals, friends, The Sims, Johnny Depp, going exciting places, reading wonderful literature (mainly by Jonathan Safran Foer and Sarah Waters) watching QI, visiting museums and meandering in the countryside. I have a BA in English Literature and Language and an MA in American Literature and Culture - which I completed last September. Since then I've been working full-time on the jewellery business. Living at home in Pontefract with my parents until I can afford to move back to Leeds and move in with my boyfriend. Not long now! Yay!

    Lovely to meet you all! xx

    Age:
    Shop Name: pippibean
    Blogging Experience?: a teeny bit
    Graphic Design Experience?: A few banners, business cards for myself. No professional experience.
    HTML Experience?: Not really!
    Do you belong to another Street Team? Which one?: "Kawaii Cuteness Street Team" and "Etsy Team Cymru" (Team Wales!)
    Do you have time to be a Moderator for our Team?: I don't think so, but am happy to help out with this and that.
    Are you free any weekday nights for chatroom meets?: Possibly - I'd try to make it!
    Finally, tell us a little bit about yourself (likes/dislikes/hobbies/work etc.):

    Hi! Well, pippibean is my constantly developing hobby! I joined etsy maybe a year ago, and what I make reflects what interests I have at the time ^-^. I’ll try my hand at making anything, from tote bags to tiaras. I only have time to add a tiny collection of things to my etsy shop, though, because I try to make all my gifts by hand, too, and am so tempted to keep the things I make!! ^-^

    I'm obviously really interested in Kawaii designs & love the quirkiness of it, but all sorts of other styles influence me too. I love discovering new things, and learning new techniques!

    A few things I love are - bright colours, cuteness, gingham & floral print fabrics, japanse design, music, smiling, bracelets, buttons, the thrill of somebody buying something you've made, turning old things into new things, learning new things, 'Sugar' brand boots, wrapping presents, Cadbury Flakes, pasta, and other tasty foods, TKMAXX, independent gift shops, languages, doodling, and books.

    Age: A depressing 27

    Shop Name: VintageKitschMagpie

    Blogging Experience?: Kinda. I have my own blog but I'm a bugger for updating it.

    Graphic Design Experience?: Nah.

    HTML Experience?: HT what?

    Do you belong to another Street Team? Which one?: Not that I'm aware of!

    Do you have time to be a Moderator for our Team?: Hmm, possibly. But then with my lack of graphic design knowledge, probably not the best person to rely on!

    Are you free any weekday nights for chatroom meets?: Yeh, I'm pretty much always online in the evenings. Friday night is a no-no though.

    Finally, tell us a little bit about yourself (likes/dislikes/hobbies/work etc.):

    Hello everyone, nice to meet you all. Some of you I have come across already, methinks. I live in Lancashire. I love anything quirky and original and this reflects what I sell in my shop. Someone once described my shop as being 'peculiar' which I took as a massive compliment! I work part time as a tutor for primary aged children. I'm a qualified teacher struggling to get a full time post :0(

    I love Japanese design, cake, customising stuff, the film Amelie and sunny days!

    I dislike giant moths (urgh) and Fearne Cotton. She's pretty annoying.

  10. Hayley (BettyBlueBoutique) is having problems working the blog atm, so here's her reply that she sent me :)

    Name: Hi everyone! I'm Hayley, (aka BettyBlue)

    Age: 24... on a downwards slide towards 25

    Shop Name: BettyBlue Boutique

    Blogging Experience?: I've never had a blog before

    Graphic Design Experience?: hmmm... nope

    HTML Experience?: none

    Do you belong to another Street Team? Which one?: This is my first Etsy team, I'm thinking about joining the UK one though :)

    Do you have time to be a Moderator for our Team?: Probably not, sorry :(

    Are you free any weekday nights for chatroom meets?: That sounds fun, I think I can find time for that :)

    Finally, tell us a little bit about yourself (likes/dislikes/hobbies/work etc.):

    Hi everyone! I'm Hayley and I live in Hertfordshire just outside of London, although I spend a lot of my spare time in Haworth near Leeds as that's where my boyfriend lives. I lived in Lancaster for three years while I was at uni and absolutely loved it - I did my degree in English Literature. Now I work full time in Human Resources and also ( I don't really know how ) am finding time to study my CIPD at college in the evenings to further my career - it's about employment law and things like that. What I really love to do though is drink wine, find polka dot accessories for my cat online, spend time with my friends and boyfriend, make jewellery and spend money on things I don't need :) I love horror films and bourbons with milk. I hate spiders, clingfilm, sharks and being cold.

    Blogging Experience?: I've kept personal blogs and websites over the years, my shop blog is new though.
    Graphic Design Experience?: I've made graphics since 2001-ish. I've done a photoshop course and am able to design graphics with relative ease- at least the ones I need!
    HTML Experience?: Since 2001. Self taught. I've kept blogs and fanlistings in the past, so I know html, ftp, some php and my way around cpanel.
    Do you belong to another Street Team? Which one?: No.
    Do you have time to be a Moderator for our Team?: Well, it would depend what I would need to do but I'm definitely interested in helping in a small-medium capacity.
    Are you free any weekday nights for chatroom meets?: Sporadically, but I will make the effort to chat with everyone as much as I can!
    Finally, tell us a little bit about yourself (likes/dislikes/hobbies/work etc.): I am a part time retail assistant in a garden centre. I started crafting in a big way while I was recovering from Hodgkin's Lymphoma and this year I've made jewellery in a big way. I love absolutely anything and everything kawaii. I'm a self confessed fashion victim and shopaholic so I always try to make my designs contemporary and bright statement pieces. I have two dogs who I adore <3. I love photography, keeping fit, snail mail, coffee, nature, spending time with my friends and driving my cute Ford KA! I'm really excited to be a part of the street team and even happier to have found UK kawaii style sellers on etsy, I'll be adding your shops as favourites and most likely buying as well as helping to promote!

    Blogging Experience?: Shop blog @ http://knittedlove.wordpress.com/ Also have a personal blog.
    Graphic Design Experience?: Play around with graphic programs sometimes, but not much.
    HTML Experience?: Other than the basic tags I don't know much =P
    Do you belong to another Street Team? Which one?: I'm still new to Etsy Teams and am quite confused on what to do, but I've joined Craft Britannia as well as this =)

    Shop Name: truffeltree.com

    Blogging Experience?: absolutely none before I started truffeltree.blogspot.com - you can tell I'm not the most chatty person.... and I have very few friends :o)

    Graphic Design Experience?: None

    HTML Experience?: None. Wow this looks so rubbish.

    Do you belong to another Street Team? Which one?: Ah finally, a yes! I have just joined CraftBritainia

    Do you have time to be a Moderator for our Team?: Not so much a time problem as an inexperience problem, but I would be very enthusiastic in doing small things to help out!

    Are you free any weekday nights for chatroom meets?: This varies, but I'll try to be there as long as I am free

    Finally, tell us a little bit about yourself (likes/dislikes/hobbies/work etc.): I am taking a year's career break from being a doctor in the health service. It's partly for family reasons and also because after 7 years of unsociable hours and procrastinating, I found my creative brain bits swiftly deteriorating, and that, I think would be a great pity seeing as I'm always thinking of little projects to do (but never getting round to them).

    I love Linkin Park, Muse, Chopin, Eastenders (in small portions), anything that's small and colourful and squishy and cutesy.

    Rather than sitting around moping about the lack of regular income and zero sales, I've decided to embrace this career break and pick up some skills - signed up for a beginner crochet day and a letterpress day. I'm sure it's stuff that most of you already know/have experienced, but I'll still try and share the most helpful bits after I've been to the classes! I look forward to getting to know and learn from you in future! Xin xx
