1) List a short blurp about yourself! Ie: married, children, location, etc.
Hi My name is Alisha Murray. I'm from Michigan and I've lived here my whole life. Last September I married my high school sweet heart. We've been together almost 6 years. I've recently taken up crocheting and I can't seem to stop creating new hats and Amigurumi Animals. My husband has set up the website for me and we are in the process of branching away from the business because it is my brother and his girlfriends business. My new site is called www.Kawaiicrochet.com and it should be up and running soon. For now though...my products will be sold on www.basementcs.com.
2) Whats the name of your handmade business and why is it named that way?

I specialize in a variety of Hats and Amigurumi animals. I hope to creak purses and wallets in the near future.
4) What made you want to venture into the world of handmade sales?

My husband is my inspiration. He thinks that everything I put my heart into...cooking, drawing, crocheting.. is amazing. He tells me that I'm the most talented person he knows and Always supports me. He's my best friend and my soul mate.
