 This week's Guest Contributor is Rebeckah of Rebeckahs Treasures. I met Rebeckah in a crochet bloggers group and fell in love with the clothes she makes for dolls. If you have a daughter into Barbies, this is the place to go for some amazing outfits for your daughter's barbies. A little info about Rebeckah that she shared: I grew up the oldest child in a large family, and dream of becoming a mom to a few of my own someday. I currently reside in the tropical land of Panama with my husband, and enjoy drinking coconut water straight from the source whenever I can. I adore all things barbies and take great pleasure in making toys... hence why everything I crochet has something to do with them. I love all colours and rainbows, but my most favourite colours are purples, blues and browns. How did you decide on the name for your shop/blog? Coming up with a name for my blog took quite a bit of time. The only thing I was sure of from the start was that I wanted to incorporate my name to make it personal. Originally, it was going to have 3 words - my name, an adjective (to describe me and my work) and a noun (to be describe what I do). Once I had a list of a few things I liked, I shared it with my mom, and thatʼs when she suggested Rebeckahʼs Treasures (“treasured” had been on of the names I liked the most). I fell in love with it right away and knew that it would be perfect! How long has your shop/blog been open and why did you start it? Officially, my blog has been open for 1.5 years, and my shop a few months less, but I am actually going on 2 years this November since I started it. My hubby and sister kept telling me I should share what I do. So, I decided to give it a go. At first, it was only about showcasing what I had crocheted, and I was planning on doing custom orders, but all that changed when I shared the chess set I made for my father... I had what felt like hundreds of requests for the pattern. Thatʼs when the idea of becoming a pattern designer sparked in my mind, and I couldnʼt believe that it had never occurred to me before.  What is your favourite item/s in your shop or on your blog at the moment? Ooh.. thatʼs a toughie. I really fall in love with everything I crochet, but if I have to pick, I would have to say “Happily Ever After”, “Pretty in Pink”, the “Chess Set” and the “Wedding Veils”.  Happily Ever After http://www.rebeckahstreasures.com/happily-ever-after-crochet-pattern-for-fashion-dolls.html   Where do you get your inspiration from? My inspiration comes from what I see, my family, and what I really wish I could have made for my dolls as a child. What other things do you like to do in your spare time? That hardly ever happens... though when it does, I like to sing, bake, watch movies, and chat with my family over Skype. What would be the one piece of advice you would give to a person setting up their own shop/blog? Figure out what you want and just go for it! Donʼt look back, or second-guess yourself. Be you, do what you love, and the rest you can learn as you go. Where can you be found on Social Media?
