Meet Laura Stad from Ladybug Headbands


NFL New York Jets inspired headband- perfect for football season!

Meet Laura Stad from Ladybug Headbands


What inspired you to begin a shop featuring your own designs?
 

I’ve always been crafty but did not consider building a business doing it until recently. After we found out we were having a girl, I was so excited to get things for her! When I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted, I started to design things for myself. Friends started asking for items for their babies too and that's how my business started! My husband and his family are huge sports fanatics and I realized the sports headband market on Etsy was small and the perfect way to stand out and be unique!


Choice of three adorable shabby chic flower elastic headbands for girls!How long have you been practicing your art/craft?
 

One year

What training have you had or are you self-taught?
 

Self taught

What is your favorite material to craft with?
 

Ribbons, flowers, and bows!

What has been the hardest aspect of creating a hobby into a business?
 

It's very fun and exciting to make new things for my daughter. I’ve also been starting to make shirts for my twin boys-they request a type of t-shirt and I can just whip it up! The hardest part as a business is balancing family time and business time. There just isn’t enough time in the day sometimes!


Any advice for other Etsy sellers?
 

MLB St. Louis Cardinals inspired headband!Definitely finding the right market. There’s so much room for creativity on Etsy and people love unique, handmade items!

What do you enjoy doing in your off time?
 

I’m a wife to a wonderful husband, and have three beautiful children! I have twin boys and a little girl. My favorite time in the world is spending time with my family and I love to travel, run, and relax with a cup of coffee.

Describe a typical day in your life…
 

My typical day is different every day! I work part time as a pediatric oncology/bone marrow transplant nurse. My days off are filled with my children-play dates, preschool, cooking, and running a household. I am very proud to say I have mastered getting all three to nap at the same time! This is my best Etsy time! If I can’t get it all done, I work on my headbands after bedtime. Otherwise, I get to spend a little quality time with my husband.

What inspired you to begin a shop featuring your own designs?
 I created first shape sorting cube for my son when he was born. My friends and family really liked it and asked me to do a different designs for their own children. I think every parent want to buy a special one of a kind toy for their child.
 
 How long have you been practicing your art/craft?
 I have been into crafts since I was about 4 years old...that makes about 21 years.

 What training have you had or are you self-taught?
 I learned everything by myself, step by step.

 What is your favorite material to craft with?
 I can craft with any type of material but my personal favorite is stones, precious stone beads.
 
 
What has been the hardest aspect of creating a hobby into a business?
 Hardest was definitely to manage the time between family, day job and starting a crafting business. It wasn't always easy to finish up all of my orders and ship them out in time.
 
Personalized shape sorting cube customized toddler toy educational wood toy Montessori toys learning toys wood toy elephant toy frog toy
 Any advice for other Etsy sellers?
 My advice would be to : "Be original and create something one of a kind what no one ever did before"

 What do you enjoy doing in your off time?
 Lately I really enjoy to read a good book and walking or running in parks close by.

Describe a typical day in your life…
 My typical day starts with reading my emails and checking for new orders. After breakfast I drop off my son to a daycare and start sanding/painting my goods. At the break in between my paint coats are drying I'm finishing my jewelry orders. After all of my goods are done, clear coats dried, I drop the packages to the post office. The hours of my shops operation really vary, when we have holidays coming I'm mostly done by 12 a.m., otherwise 5 p.m., Sometimes I'm pre painting my boxes to speed up the process.

Meet Chelsea from Fleeting Glances

Meet Chelsea from Fleeting Glances

 

 

Printable Nursery Art, Dream Big Little One, Instand Download, Baby Blue, Nursery PrintablesWhat inspired you to begin a shop featuring your own designs?
I am a full-time graphic designer working on my career but I found I needed to do something I love on the side which is always creating special, personal and unique designs. Fleeting Glances name comes from all mothers who fall in love with their newborns instantly after seeing their baby for the first time. That moment is the most special and its something they remember forever. I create beautiful keepsakes to represent this short, fleeting moment in time.


How long have you been practicing your art/craft?
My shop has been open only since August 2014 but I started practicing graphic design in 5 years ago.

So There Is This Boy - Nursery Room Wall Art, Baby Boy Room, Quotes Boys Room


What training have you had or are you self-taught?
I graduated in 2014 with a degree in Art and Design.

 

What is your favorite material to craft with?
I create with the mothers in mind and from my creativity, and passion of colors and forms.

 



What has been the hardest aspect of creating a hobby into a business?
I don't know if I have had any "hardest aspect" because nothing is ever hard in doing what you LOVE to do. I believe my hobby was NEVER that, it was always just a passion and my escape. Creating a business is not what I had in the plans but I think people keep coming back because they see how much I care for every purchase.




8x10 Personalized Baby Print, Baby Girl Nursery Wall Art, Baby Announcement, Birth Plate, Birth Sign
Any advice for other Etsy sellers?
The best advice I can give is to be proactive and not give up if it's what you love. Give honest and prompt customer service and they WILL recommend you or even come back a second time.

What do you enjoy doing in your off time?
I love eating anything with the word chocolate in it. Having a glass of wine and watching my shows (Supernatural, Vampire Diaries, Revenge, and The Walking Dead)

 

Describe a typical day in your life...
Eat, Work, Sleep...REPEAT!
