About Quirky Crafter

Handcrafted Treasures for the Whimsical Soul

I've been crafting and selling my creations since I was five and, when I began isolating in 2018 for health reasons, crafting became my full-time passion. Yes, I was isolating before Covid turned it into a cool thing to do.

Long story short — I have a rare disease where my immune system attacks my lungs if I get sick. The coolest part about it is the acronym — ASS — Anti Synthetase Syndrome.

I'm doing well, but occasionally have to put the store on vacation mode because I'm in the hospital. I'm probably the only person you've ever heard of who gets admitted to isolation for something as stupid as a sinus infection.

I also have ADHD. I like to try new crafts all the time. When I see a new craft I want to try, I generally watch all the videos I can on the subject to see if I'm truly interested. Then I order basic supplies and tools and try it out. I generally hyper-focus on the new craft for a few weeks to see if I can make anything decent. If I love it, then I make a few items and post them to see if there is any interest. If it sells, I will make items in that category on an ongoing basis. I occasionally get ideas of how to merge different craft styles and materials — and sometimes I forget to list new items because I'm in the crafting zone. ADHD is my secret weapon!

I also love unique custom requests because they give me ideas for new products. I'm happy to try anything if I have the materials and equipment, and if I can't do it, I'll tell you straight out.

Thanks for visiting my store! I hope you have a great shopping experience!
