crudecrafts

I live in a small apartment on Buffalo's west side with 2 cats, a pile of fabric, and too much yarn. I spend all my time making things, thinking about making things, or wishing I was making things.

I grew up in a small town where we had to make our own fun, so I learned to make the things I wanted since there was no store to walk to.

I prioritize sustainability in my creative practice and make every effort not to throw away ANYTHING.

All the scraps of fabric are saved and used until they are all but non-existent. In the winter my felted ornaments are stuffed with the remnants from the thrifted sweaters.
