Amy of PeptoGirl will be at San Francisco Bazaar November 30th in SF.

Please tell us a little bit about yourself and your business.
Hi, I’m Amy. I am a writer, web designer, baker, lover of all things pink and covered with sprinkles, hostess-with-the-mostess, and all around crafty gal. I’ve tried many different crafts but always seem to circle back around to jewelry.

I think jewelry and accessories should be fun, witty, colorful, and never taken too seriously. I love to use everyday objects like buttons, toys, guitar picks, and bottle caps in my creations. I love to take an everyday object that people often take for granted and put it in a new light.
What are your favorite crafts and how did you first get involved with crafting?
I’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember. Jewelry-making has always been my favorite craft. I like the instant gratification of it and I love making something unique that I can wear. I’ve recently gotten into embroidery which I find to be relaxing and a great on-the-go craft. I also love to draw, which led me to join my friends Tamie and Lauren in designing embroidery patterns for Pimp Stitch (www.pimpstitch.com).

What do you like best, coming up with ideas or executing them?
Ideas, for sure! Sometimes the execution gets a little tricky…

Are you super organized or messy? What does your workspace look like?
Both. I try to organize often and love it when things are in their place. But mid-project I’ve got beads and embroidery floss all over the place.

Any exciting future plans or developments in the works for your business?
Yes! I’m putting on a craft bazaar called IndieSacramento (www.indiesacramento.com). It’s really great because it will give Sacramento crafters a place to sell locally on a monthly basis.
