Featured Crafter – Ellie Puente

11:47 am Featured Crafter

I am Ellie. Wife. Mother to 3 little people. Crafter. I guess I’ve always enjoyed crafty things, but it wasn’t until a friend encouraged me to open an etsy store that I learned I could actually make money doing something I love! What a concept!

I also discovered I really, really like felt. And bright colors. And, just things that are happy and fun. And, so, with a box of felt and a cutting machine, my little etsy store “A Felt Affair” was born. I have since found much delight in making garlands and bunting, pinwheels, cupcake toppers and wrappers and most recently, chevron letters!

I have enjoyed being featured on Very Jane and Groopdealz several times. I’ve made so many garlands, I think I could do it in my sleep. My crowning accomplishment thus far? Having a garland featured in the upcoming Halloween edition of Taste of Home!

You can stop by and chat about crafty stuff on my Facebook Page. Or, see some of my creations for sale on etsy!
