Hello! I am Linda Holton from Holton Handicrafts. I am a partner to my hubby, The Lathe Junkie, mother to two grown children, two fur babies, and grandma to four grandchildren. I love to craft and write and have a large variety of interests.
When I was 10, my grandmother taught me how to knit. We were both left-handed so it was a natural fit. I still have that first pair of plastic size 10 needles that she used to teach me. Fast forward to adulthood…
I still liked to knit but found it slow. I had a fast-paced stressful job and needed to find something to offset the stress. Enter crochet!
I taught myself to crochet out of a magazine. The instructions were right-handed, but when you are left-handed living in a right-handed world, you learn to adapt, and so I learned to crochet right-handed. I immediately loved to crochet. It was faster than knitting and I made all sorts of things. All of my family and friends became saturated with the items I made so…..Holton Handicrafts was born.
Today we offer a variety of items crafted by myself, my daughter, my son, and my husband. You will find us at craft shows in central Michigan and in the Columbus, Ohio area. We also have an Etsy Shop and feature our items on Facebook (see links on the right).
My interests don’t stop at crafting! With a background in administrative management in a busy sales office, years of selling crafts online and at shows, and a love of writing; I decided to combine these skills. Now in addition to selling crafts, you will find a blog full of interesting and useful ideas and information on crafts, crafting, selling, and marketing your crafts. I can also support your business with business cards and forms or other administrative tasking. Since I am always looking for new ideas, I’m sure there is more to come.
Take a look at what Holton Handicrafts has to offer. I’m sure you will find something you will like.
