I Turn Strings Into Beautiful Things

Scherkenbach Mask and Craft Emporium prides itself on making the world a little softer and warmer. Everyone can use a smile, and everyone is unique. I take all of this into account with my crocheted creations and memory bears. I put a little heart into every stitch.

I’m skilled at manipulating crochet patterns to create exactly what you have in mind making it truly a creation you love. I can do all types of items from small, fun amigarumi creatures to afghans, or cute and functional crochet hats.

I also love working with my clients to create treasured memory bears from a loved one’s fabric items. I take these treasured items, that hold stories and memories, and transform them into something that is new, tangible, and once ready to be loved. All fabrics brought to me to create a memory bear is returned either in the form of the bear’s exterior, or as part of the stuffing within.
