It all started one night while Ahoska and Michelle were playing board games. The conversation went something like this, “I craft things, you craft things, what if… we both crafted things and sold them?” Boom. Cutoff Crafts spontaneously exploded into existence. |
| Hello! My name is Michelle Durst. I have been making jewelry, crafting, and otherwise creating extravagant messes since I was a kid. When I was nine, my folks got me this amazing machine that could melt metal and pour it into molds to make charms. I was in love. Then it turned out that the metal had an incredibly high amount of lead in it to lower the melting point. Whoops. Fortunately the joy that inspired never faded. I had created beautiful pieces of jewelry that people could wear. Sweet googly-moogly, I could make things! I ran out into the wide world of crafting and never looked back. These days my preferred past-times are: rughooking, chainmail, making earrings, weaving beads, and writing inspirational messages on parchment with a calligraphy pen.  |
Blogger by day, crafter by night, with purple as my favorite color, I have become the Purple Knight of the Night. I love to crochet and make adorable stuffed toys. All my patterns are my own and are often inspired by some of my favorite cartoons, movies, shows, or Anime. You will often find my items at craft fairs, Comicons, or other fan events. That means I get to share my geekiness with the world!  When I am not crocheting, I am blogging at SKGaleana.com where I host giveaways, write reviews, create printables, share crafts, and so much more! My philosophy is "Expanding Imaginations Removes Limitations." Thanks to many different companies such as Nickelodeon, Lionsgate, Highlights, and others, I get to share some pretty awesome branded crafts and printables and host epic movie giveaways in both digital and/or hardcopy form. You never know what will pop up on my page!  I also love to create papercrafts, especially Cubeecrafts. I have a huge database of the printable cubes featuring many of my favorite fandoms! Be sure to be square and check out the Cubeecrafts here. |
