Help me name my Etsy shop for my crafts!

February 4, 2011 1:57 PM

Help me name my Etsy shop for my crafts! I mostly make ribbon & fabric flower pins, needle-felted animals, and sew simple bags & purses. I need a clever little name for my humble Etsy shop; this name would also be used on labels for the items, and as a general identity for my crafting persona.

Since all my crafts are needle-related, I was thinking something that is a play off thread or needles, but I'm really wide-open to suggestions. I'm not so much into the cutesy stuff as I am into clever word-play and off-beat/obscure references. Thank you!

If it doesn't break a rule, will you come back and tell us when your shop is up and how to find it? If it does break a rule, please put me on the list of people you MeMail about it.

(Sorry, I just started needle felting this week.)

I like Felt Up a lot.
