Welcome Tami of GretelCreations on Etsy!
Originally from Germany, Tami moved to Wales located in the United Kingdom about 8 years ago.
She specializes in selling handmade amigurumi kawaii felt plushies and her shop and merchandise is all OOAK. Her wonderfully creative motto: "Selling cutable critters and nifty niceties made from my own designs."
Due to a love of baking and an old dream, the name of her current Etsy shop, GretelCreations, came about-"I used to love baking and had this dream of opening my own german-style bakery one day, which I wanted to call GretelCakes – So GretelCreations is just a variation of an old idea."
Currently however, Tami's 'cutable critters and nifty niceties' are just a side hobby as her full-time job is a position with the NHS. As of right now, though, she still finds herself on maternity leave, so there is still a little more time to work on her hobby while taking care of the baby.
(Congratulations by the way!)
Like many crafters, Tami has always taken enjoyment out of arts and crafts and has tried her hand at several things throughout the years. "About a year ago I taught myself how to crochet. At that time I was pregnant with my son and found myself in full-blown nesting mode so doing something creative just came natural."
Once crocheting stuck, she found several mediums she liked to work and create with, three of which are wool, felt, and yarn. She also told me that she takes a great deal of enjoyment out of embroidery as well.
Advice from Tami: "Always have fun in what you do!"

Thanks goes to Tami of GretelCreations for honoring me with this lovely featured artist Tuesday interview! I don't know why, but I've always drawn to amigurumi kawaii figurines or stuffed animals, so I was quite thrilled to get to do this feature!
Now to go heart everything in her shop ^.^

OMGosh, as a fellow crocheter I can say I'm in deep admiration, her critters are adorable. I think my fave is the bunny with the biscuit, sooooo cute!
