Getting to know Busy Bottomz
What got you started in selling items in your Etsy shop?
I used to sell on Ebay first, but with all of the fees, it just wasn't worth it, then realized Etsy would be better! :)
How did your shop name originate?
My husband and I were brain storming and I thought of it and it just stuck with me. Although, I did open up a shop under Lil Hooligans but closed it and went with my original name Busy Bottomz.
What is one thing you wish someone would have told you when you started cloth diapering?
Mmm... that you have to put the tab snaps on last!
What is your favorite thing to do when you’re not sewing/working for your shop?
Hanging out with my family and trying to get a couple of drum sessions in, my husband and I rival at whose better. ;)
What is your current favorite item in your shop, and why?
This one; What can I say, we're dino lovers here! What is your favorite material to work with?
How about my least favorite material right now! Silk.
How long has your shop been open?
I've been open since April 2010
Personal bio:
My name is Tasha. I am happily married to my soulmate. We have two super cute crazy boys 4 and 2. Everywhere I go, I hear the same thing.. "boy, you sure do have your hands full". And I sure do. Always on my toes, thanks to two cups of coffee every morning. So I first learned to sew from my mom. She's been a master seamstress making everything under the sun since before I was born. I first learned to serge at the age of 15 on an industrial serger (mind those fingers!) and took sewing classes in school of course. I do believe sewing can be very therapeutic except when you have those days when your machine just wants to eat you alive!!! Then you just want to throw it out the window. ;)
