The "T" in Teresa is for "Team Player!"


Yes, Teresa of CozyCrochetCreations is talented, successful & versatile (just a few samples of her excellent work are shown in these pictures)!
What I like best about her is what a team player she is.

Teresa and I are members of EtsyFAST Team-Fiber Artist Street Team together, and she also belongs to:

EFC Team-EtsyForCharity
Etsyhookers Team (Crochet)
CAST Team-Christian Artist Street Team
Georgia Etsy Group

As you can see, her faith in God and her love of people is contagious!

The Capital "T" in EtsyFAST


EtsyFAST stands for "Etsy Fiber Arts Street Team" (http://www.etsyfast.com/). EtsyFAST is a group of fiber artists (spinners, weavers, knitters, etc) who have online shops at Etsy.com, "Your place to buy & sell all things handmade," have joined together to promote our handiwork.

One way we help others find us is by tagging "EtsyFAST" when we list items for sale on Etsy (go to Etsy.com, do a tag search for "EtsyFAST" and prepare to be amazed!). Then, members of EtsyFAST create "Treasuries" of items that have the EtsyFAST tag. It's a large group, so it feels pretty special to be chosen for a treasury (only 12 items are allowed per treasury, and only a few hundred treasuries are allowed at a time).

Today, Simone of SandAndSkyCreations.etsy.com included my Green Apple n Black Unisex Handknit Scarf for Wicked Elphie Elphaba Fans in her EtsyFAST treasury at http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=32459! Simone is an extremely talented and creative fiber artist who makes sumptious, one-of-a-kind (OOAK) items (including the incredibly crafted and photographed hat above), so I'm especially flattered that she would even consider my humble scarves for her treasury, which is only viewable through Saturday.

Simone, you're a class act! Thank you again for your kindness and for bringing your skill and energy to EtsyFAST.

Plaidfuzz, You're so Fun!



Plaidfuzz (Plaidfuzz.etsy.com) is new to Etsy (she just joined in January!), but she's already busy making a name for herself as a friendly, positive, successful person. Please check out her cheery, fun shop at Plaidfuzz.etsy.com (the "friends" card shown here is just one example of her neat cards, hats & more).

And she's so generous, too! I haven't even figured out how to curate treasuries (collections of other sellers' items) at http://www.etsy.com/treasury.php yet, and I've been at http://cricketscreations.etsy.com for over 3 months now. Plaidfuzz just joined in January and she's already got a very nice treasury, at http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=31734

Thank you, Plaidfuzz, for including my Deep Night Indigo Blue Purple Black Handknit Incredible Ribbon Scarf (pictured above, and available at http://cricketscreations.etsy.com) in your treasury, I'm truly honored & flattered!
