Thistlecraft's Profile

Bio

First, let me explain my shop name. I have a twin sister, and when my Dad called one of his uncles to let him know that my Mom had just given birth to twin girls, my great-uncle responded, "Well, I guess you'll just have to call them Whistle and Thistle."

I am Thistle, and I craft! Welcome to my shop, Thistlecraft Designs!!!

I have been making, selling, and teaching crafts most of my 40+ years of life. I have experience in many different craft techniques and media, thanks mostly to my Mom and my insatiable desire to learn new things. And while I do create in a variety of media and with a variety of techniques, I do not consider myself a Jack (or Jill) of all trades but master of none. There are things I have not mastered -- and you won't find them for sale in my shop! I take great pride in my creations and offer only the best!

Crochet is the first "craft" I learned, and my Mom taught me when I was 5 or 6. It will always be my favorite! Painting, collage, decoupage, assemblage, altered art, spiral bound journals, and Christmas ornaments and decor are just a few of the other types of things you'll find here.

I am a proud member, and Team Leader, of the Etsy Texas Crafters team. As Team Leader, I manage our team shop http://etsytexascrafters.etsy.com. For more information on our team and to subscribe to our monthly newsletter, please visit us at http://etsytx.ning.com
