About

Hi, i’m Christina, the person behind Sometimes Crafter Studio. I run my small business from my studio on our property in rural SW Washington. I am an author, pattern writer, illustrator and longarm quilter. I homeschool my son on our small homestead and spend time canning our harvest, foraging from our woods and working around the property when I’m not in the studio.

I'm not an intricate planner, so using my stickers

I'm not an intricate planner, so using my stickers adds just the right touch to my otherwise boring weekly calendar. I had to hurry up and use some of my Halloween stickers before it's over. I think my autumn stickers are my favorite, but I can use those right up to Thanksgiving, so I'm trying to hold off on those. But the sweater stickers get me every week! #scsstickers #stickershop #stickers #fallstickers #sometimescrafterstickers

It's my most favorite time of the year! I LOVE Halloween so much! I can't wait to decorate. I have so many fall and Halloween themed stickers sheets for sale (this is one of them) and I really should be working on winter/Christmas stickers, but there's no way I'm passing up Inktober. Last year I followed along to a prompt list and drew everyday of the month and I'll be doing it again this year. I already posted my first piece today on my art account @christinalanecreates #stickershop #stickers #halloweenstickers

Roasting before blending for tomato soup. Smells so good in here! I had to get one fresh batch in. Usually I use our canned tomatoes in winter so they don't get a roast in the oven before hand.

Garden season is almost at an end here. Our tomatoes come on late, so I'm harvesting what I can of the 100s before the rain starts to make a pot of tomato soup for dinner. #garden #soup #harvest #pnw #tomatoes

The first batch of stickers headed out the door! Thank you everyone for all your support. Whether it's a purchase a like or a comment, it all counts and is appreciated! I'm just so excited to be able to share what I draw, even when it's just in my feed, but printed items brings it to a whole new level. #stickers #stickershop

After what feels like months of teasing, stickers

After what feels like months of teasing, stickers are finally live in my Etsy shop! For as long as I can remember I have loved anything and everything stationary. We use to have an offi e supply store here called JK Gills when I was a kid. For my birthday my mom would ask what I wanted and I wanted to go there and buy all the pens, papers and stickers I could. I could just look for hours and hours (same with the Sanrio store when we had one in Portland). I was so sad when JK Gills went out of business. Never as a kid did I ever think I possessed the talent to make stationary, so to be here now, at 41 years old, releasing stickers....feels like a lifetime goal achieved. It's taken me many, many years to realize we all have different tastes and aesthetics, and to feel confident enough to share my art, so I hope it speaks to some of you as well. I've started off with a small release and we'll see how it goes. If it's a resounding success, I'll keep at it. If it flops...well, nothing ventured, nothing gained, but I'm still extremely happy with what I've created. Being able to hastag myself with #stickershop is pretty exciting. #stickers #autumnvibes #autumnstickers #halloween #halloweenstickers #autumnstickers #fallstickers #retroflowersquilt

I find I share quite a bit more on my stories than I do my feed and realize I haven't really shared that I've been working on a sticker release for my shop. I talk about it on my art feed a little, but haven't really said anything here. I'm going to be sharing more of my art here than usual, as time allows with quilting. I'm almost ready to release everything, just going back and forth on shipping. For now I'll just release on Etsy and there's two shipping options, 1) they calculate or 2) I set flat fees. With each comes exhorbinate shipping fees (I think) for shipping stationary, so I'm still debating how to handle it all. I'll be posting and sharing more this week, so I hope you'll pop in to see all the sticker sheets and vinyl stickers I have to offer. My hope is to release everything this week. So let's all cross our fingers! #stickers

I snuck in a few smaller quilts that have been waiting in the studio for a few months. I couldn't resist drawing up a design to match @lucindasnyder fabric in her quilt. I love the texture it created on this! This is one of 3, I'll share the other 2 soon.
.
I still have 2 more quilts to go with the last (giant) quilt, but wanted to take a little break from the custom design of that. I needed a little brain break. I'll be loading the next of the quilts for that project on Monday. #sometimescrafterlongarmquilting #gammillquilting #gammillstatlerstitcher #quiltersdreambatting
