Embrace the Art of Handmade

Michelle Shaffer, Owner

Hi everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know a little more about my background. I learned to crochet over 40 years ago in Junior High School Home Economics class. Actually, I continued making blankets and small things like scarves. Then I branched out and learned more when YouTube became popular. In 2015 I started making crocheted jewelry, which led to beaded, stamped, and wire wrapped pieces. Creating Dreamcatchers using crocheted doilies, beads, and natural elements like seashells has become another favorite. At present I am learning to knit and I enjoy acquiring new skills. Check my website often for updates.

Married since 1985 my husband and I have two children and three granddaughters. We retired in 2021 to Eastern North Carolina near the ocean with our 3 dogs and 2 cats.
