About

Hello! Welcome to my page!
My name is Sarah. I moved to Chicago, IL (from CA) in August 2006 to be with my boyfriend.  He entered the Illinois College of Optometry graduating class of 2010 in the fall of 2006.  We brought with us our adorable (and stubborn) westie, Eisbär.  I love to do all kinds of crafts and teach myself new things.  I really enjoy reading about other people’s trials and tribulations in the world of crafting and I hope others do too!

Crafts I enjoy include, but are NOT limited to: sewing (fashion, home, gift), knitting, cross-stitching, stitching in general, card making, general crafting, jewelry making, quilting, and anything new I can learn!
