Wednesday Featured Artist by Sheila of Sewfaithful
It's my pleasure to introduce
Laura Gibbs of EveryDayArtDesignStudio
Oh my, are you in for a treat. Laura's shop is full of texture, color, and all kinds of goodies in several different mediums. She has GENEROUSLY agreed to give away this wall cross to one of our lucky blog readers:
I am the wife of the most
supportive husband, mom to two boys (12 & 6) and a girl (10), and most
importantly- a child of God.
I have a bachelors degree
in interior design.
I am always trying
something new in the worlds of sewing, knitting, crochet, embroidery, painting,
jewelry-making, quilting, etc…
I always have several
projects going at once.
I love making and giving
gifts.
I hate housekeeping.
I am continually inspired
by God’s creation!

How did you get your start on Etsy?
It was not long after I
was introduced to ETSY (as a customer) that I knew it would be a great platform
for me to create. I was nervous at
first… I wasn’t sure how I would be received.
But moments after I listed my first item, someone favorited it! That was such a boost and a thrill. My first sale was within 2 weeks.

How did you choose your shop name?
I went through several
options on paper and in my head before I made a decision. I settled on Everyday Art Design Studio. I think that “art” can be viewed by the
general public as a thing that can only be experienced during a stuffy visit to
a hushed fine art museum. But, I feel
that art can and should be experienced in our everyday lives. Art is that “thing” that is crafted and made (whether skillfully
or not) with your hands that expresses who you are, how you feel, what you are
passionate about.
What does a typical day look like for you?
Breakfast, kids to
school, breathe, life, lunch, create, pick kids up, life, eat, kids to bed,
remember that I have a wonderful husband, sleep, wash, rinse, repeat…

If you could be anywhere in the world for one day, where would it be?
Can’t really just pick
one… but if I must … Paris. No, wait-
the valley in Switzerland where my husband and I had lunch 3 years ago. Or maybe- Hawaii, haven’t been there, yet…
What is your favorite Bible verse?
“What does the Lord ask
of you, O man? To act justly, to love
mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8
