Do you prefer to sell your crafts online or in person? Or both?

Do you have a second job? If so, what is it?
Spunk is a marketing manager for an engineering firm in Houston and Sass is a stay at home mommy!

It started as a hobby and morphed into "wow I like that, I bet I can make it!" We love trying to recreate things we both like and that inspires us to make more lovely things.

of time and requires balance to really make it work, considering Spunk has a full-time job in Houston and Sass is a full-time Mom. Both of which are really demanding. We've learned that sometimes there will be sales and sometimes there won't be, but really in the end it's about having fun and doing something that we love.
What other hobbies or interests do you have?
Spunk reads and sews. Sass scrapbooks and is learning to sew as well!
Who inspires you?
Everything around us is an inspiration - stores, people, blogs, other Etsians, magazines, etc. There's a multitude of things and it all funnels in to create more fun pieces.
Do you have any tips to share with newbies?
Keep it fun. Remember that you love crafting and that's your reason for opening a store. The best feeling is that you're sharing your talent with the world. Oh and take good pictures :)
