Sassy Crafter

I've been sewing since I was a child, got a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2005, learned to crochet in 2009... you could say that creativity is just a part of my life.

Both my parents are incredibly creative folks, even my two older brothers got the creative bug early on. I married my university sweet heart, who stole my heart in the printmaking studio.

After years of daydreaming about my craft business, things finally started to become more of a reality when I had to take two months off of work to recovery from surgery. It had been a difficult year, the kind of year that makes you sit back and take stock of what is really important in your life. Having two months to slow down, gave me enough time to reflect & commit to starting Bubblegum Sass. As soon as I took these first steps, things just started falling into place. I was laid off of work, which allowed me to turn all my focus onto the business. It was the fresh start I needed.

When I started my Etsy shop back in 2011, I was selling crochet cowl scarves, quilted purses & button coin purses. In 2014, I started making the Love Catchers (my unique version of the Dreamcatcher). It feels like I’ve come a long way with my product & I’m continuing to develop my line of home decor items, with some small accessories for women thrown in here & there. I can not resist adding a button to anything! Buttons are like the “cherry-on-top” for each item I make. If you like buttons too, then we will get along just fine!

    After being laid off from a job in the stock photography industry in January 2011, I decided to take the plunge and turn my crafting hobby into a business. I became a mama in 2012 and I am still learning how to juggle all that comes my way.

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalised orders

I am happy to work with you to make a custom Love Catcher or Dreamcatcher in your preferred colors! You can order through the "Custom" listing in my shop, or click on "Request Custom Order" or simply send me a message by clicking "Contact Shop Owner". I provide photos of the finished piece. You can then make minor adjustments at that time (please, no changing your entire color scheme). I provide photos of the finished piece before shipping.

I am not able to make custom Dreamcatchers using fabric with Licensed characters (eg. Disney characters).
