about me
My name is Mellissa and I am the artisan behind Gingerbeez Creations. As a lover of all things arts and crafts, I enjoy painting, drawing, knitting, weaving, sewing, spinning –and of course what I’m best known for– crocheting!
Everything is handmade by me in my home studio just off of Georgian Bay. My work in any medium is bright and colourful; I love trying new colour combinations and mixing textures and techniques in new and interesting ways. I enjoy making fun and unique accessories and rarely make the exact same thing twice, which means my makes are truly one-of-a-kind and something you won’t find anywhere else!
Over the years I have shared my love of the fibre arts with family and friends, teaching crochet both in person and online. Crochet is so versatile and there is always something new to learn; I am always looking for new stitches, patterns, and yarn to try.
My patterns can be found on both Ravelry and Etsy. Follow me on IG and FB for updates on shop updates and to see my latest handmade creations!
