Ok who the Heck are you?

Renee Christine Hoyle Critical Care RN and crafter!

What is the worst craft fail you’ve had?

I attempted to crochet a hat for my father when I was 11. It looked like a misshapen sock with a crooked cuff! It was the ugliest color brown. He wore it proudly for about a week! Then I never saw it again.

I’ve also had numerous resin messes that were a comedy of errors in my kitchen! That stuff sticks everywhere when you spill it! Practice makes perfect!

Where do you get your materials from?

Garage sales, folks who give me their trash and vintage on-line shops. I also shop on Etsy.

If you could talent swap with another local St. Louis crafter for a day who would it be?

Melissa Villediago, owner of Villa Design. She is the most talented glass artist! I love her style!

Ok enough about you!  Tell us what you like about Paste!

I love the homey feeling of the store! I adore the fact that Paste has classes and supports local artists. The owner seems pretty cool, too!

Ok shamelessly plug yourself! (Where to find your goods, websites, etsy shops etc,)

My goods are available at Paste. I also sell at Tower Grove Farmer’s Market and I am in Rock N Roll Craft Show, Big Ass Indie Art & Craft Show, Artropy and Strange Folk.
