We're looking forward to meeting more Wisconsin crafters!
I'm Kristen and I have been a crafter my entire life. I spent several happy years at Michaels (spending more of my check than I took home) in many different positions. I taught scrapbooking, rubber stamping, jewelry making and many other crafts.
I'm pretty much an all-around crafter, though my crafting interests come and go. I've been into painting and jewelry lately; in fall I tend to do more floral design. The only crafts I cannot do are knitting, sewing and crocheting... but I hope to learn!
Hi,
Im Kristie Rockweiler and I make custom switch plates and outlet covers. Just about any theme I can make. I've just started making these in the last year. I've always enjoyed crafting...making my own braclets and such. I also enjoy going to craft fairs to see what everyone else has made.
Hello my name is Ann. I've done all sorts of crafts including floral arrangements, quilted wreaths, canvas board paintings, wood crafts, jewelry and ceramic painting.
I'm thinking of getting back into it but I'm so busy with my kids right now I haven't had time to begin.

Hi, my name is Kathi, and I love working with clay and making really unique pottery. you can see some of my work at http://earthelements.etsy.com
I am looking for some more arts and craft shows to sell at this year, but first I would love input, actually first hand knowledge of some really good shows in the Columbus area that are not too expensive to participate in, but have a nice turn out. I am especially interested in knowing more about the Kaukauna show that is in September. It is supposed to be nature related works being sold, and I think that might be right up my alley. Thanks to anyone who responds.
My name is Jeanine. I am into all kinds of crafting. I quilt with my church's quilting group twice a month. My first love and main business is stained glass. If interested, my work can be found a www.onlineglass.net I am trying to be brave enough to buy a glass kiln and start working with warm glass as well as the stained glass.
Sorry PottryLady, but I have no idea on craft shows, in that area. I myself am working on finding just the right fair(s) to do this year. Good luck to you!
My name is Patti I am a painter/crafter. I love to paint on just about anything. You can see some of my work at httpa://www.Pattibears.com We recently opened a small shop in downtown Montello and I have included a handful of other local crqaqfters to get an assortment.
As mentioned above i also tinker with wood making outlet and switch panels. I like to make them into various shapes and handpaint them for xmas gifts and the such. I also like to build smaller furniture.
Hi, My name is Cindy and my business, PolaScentuals, is new to the Green Bay area. My business is about Gourmet Soap, natural skin & bath products and aromatherapy. I would love to hear what are considered the better craft fairs in the Wisconsin area. And would like to pass on that the TV6 Christmas craft fair in Marquette Michigan was a great success and would definately recommend it.
Your input is greatly appreciated!
Hello Everyone. My name is Judy and Ive been a decorative painter more years than I want to admit. I do many shows around the Milwaukee area and am looking for some new ones. Does anyone know anything about a 3 day craft sale in a barn in the oconowmowoc area in October? I had a woman approach me at a craft sale in December and asked me if I would like to be in it. She said she would send me info in the Spring. I think she said the barn was actually in Ottawa. Thanks -Judy

Hey all. I too, as put earlier, tinker in the arts and crafts. Including checking out craft fairs to see if I can't make something on my own cheeper than being sold for. LOL. I have slowed down alot however now that I wear a prostetic. (Makes the small things more challenging)

I've been crafty my whole life, but that's been the nature of my spare time and then some for almost two years now!
I just started doing some shows last fall and LOVE them, but don't really know how to find them? Hoping as others hear/post about shows, I can get in them.
I enjoyed reading about everyone else's craft hobbies, what a great assortment!
Hello. I'm Corrine from Franklin, near Milwaukee. I enjoy all kinds of crafts and now that my daughter is older, I can do some of them. Macro photography of flowers and nature, painting, sewing, floral, beading, decorative crafts, whatever needs to be done!!
By day, I'm a professional organizer going into people's homes and businesses to help them get organized. So there is little time left to craft. I tell my clients they need to make the time to enjoy their hobbies - I need to listen to myself more! My web site is Cattail Pond, LLC Organizing Services and Products
This week, I helped my daughter make a couple pieces of jewelry and worked on one for myself, too. Woo-hoo!
I would love to do some shows if I could find something that is worth selling - financially worth it, that is.
I joined The Bubbler for my business, but I can see I might use if for fun!!:
