SPOTLIGHT VENDOR OF THE WEEK

“CHRISTY DID”

My shop name is Christy Did, a play on my name.  I love to do machine embroidery and sew as well as other crafts.

Blame it on my grandmothers!  One taught me to do crafts and the other to use the sewing machine.  I was hooked.

I grew up in Harrison, Ohio and spent a lot of each summer at my great-grandmother’s farm in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.   Got married and moved to Johnson City in 1973.  My husband is retired from the Johnson City Fire Department.  We have one adult son.

When I retired I was able to sew my days away, especially on my embroidery machine.  Not wanting to appear on Hoarders, I started doing craft fairs, markets, etc.  I opened a shop on Etsy, Christy Did, where I sell embroidered items, doll clothes and such.

I plan on being a more frequent vendor at GFM this 2018 season.  I had a blast the few times I made it last summer.  It is a great place to be on a Saturday morning with some great folks!
