"For someone who never carried a purse you sure do make some beautiful things, I'm impressed", said my best friend Jill, during our last conversation.
Hi! Thank you for stopping by!
Twelve years ago, I starting making quilts. They weren't anything fancy, just quilts for my twin great-nieces and my great-nephew. I was then asked to finish a quilt that my grandmother had started and that she never finished before her passing. I guess you could say, that's when the sewing frenzy started. For a few years I made quilts for friends and family and custom orders.
Things slowed down about 3 years ago, when my father's health took a turn for the worse and he passed away in 2016. For two years I traveled, bouncing from Florida to Wisconsin and back. Plus a lot of roller coaster emotions to work through. Unfortunately, my inspiration and creativity was hindered
My creativity was sparked once again when my mother was admitted to a nursing home. She had already been using a walker with one of those walker tie bags with the pockets. To me it worked, but it screamed "old" and although my mother isn't young, she's not old either. I felt she needed a more stylish bag to be attached to her new purple rollator. So, I resized a previously designed diaper bag into a Walker bag. Since the first bag was redesigned, I have had to make some slight modifications to make it better. Since she inspired the bag design, I named it after her.
Then she wanted a purse to have for when she doesn't have to take her walker. So, once again, I was delving into areas on the unknown. The bag frenzy then began. I was trying out patterns, designed by others, to learn techniques and learn more about the different mediums everyone uses.
My mother is my official bag tester. She doesn't make them, but she uses them, and we discuss the functionality of the purse. I love all of the feedback, because not only does it inspire me to make a quality product, it inspires me to make changes to make purses, wristlets, and clutches to make them a more functional and useable product.
Krisy Kreations has expanded into the design business and now you kind find patterns written and sold by me as KM Designs by Krisy Kreations. Right now, I currently have one wallet design posted and I have 4 more in process and will be releasing this year. Right now some of them are in the pattern process and others are just drawings. I cannot wait to turn them from paper to product.
So stay tuned and check back often!!!
