ACREATIVECORNER started in the corner of my basement of my home in Minot ND. I love making all kinds of items and did not want to be limited with just purses so Angela’s Creative Corner is how I got my name. My husband was kind enough to build me a wall away from the kid's and their toys so that I could have my own little corner to create crafts (mostly sewing). However, my supplies and sewing machines multiplied and soon I took over the basement and the guest bed got the corner.

My husband is military and he is not always home due to deployments, TDYs, or hunting. Therefore, I would sew while he was away or during the long cold winters to help the time pass by faster. The crafts, purses, and quilts became wonderful gifts for my family. By giving my homemade items to my family members, it provided me the best (and worst) critiques. It is so funny how a purse can never have too many pockets and the strap needs to be longer....no shorter. :$

I have moved from Minot ND to Eielson AK since my Etsy shop was open. (I will get to enjoy more cold winters and the absent hunting husband...lol). We were lucky to have an extra room that has now become my craft room. I no longer have to share with the kids but that does not keep them out. ;) Although at times I feel cramped, I remember the beginning of my hobby days in the corner in the basement and I smile because it is still better than a corner.
