About The Sawdust Makery

Hello Everyone! My name is Kris, and I’ve been a long-time maker and designer. As a seasoned craft show vendor with over 33 years of experience, I’ve participated in holiday craft shows extensively. I began designing painting patterns in the early 2000s and successfully ran a pattern business for about a decade while advertising in national craft magazines.

Currently, I design digital files using original hand-drawn designs and hand-drawn digital art, curated specifically for laser makers. My designs are intended to enhance personal lives, create finished products for customers, and provide DIY wood kits for workshops.

Creating is in my blood. I come from a family of makers—my mom even had a side hustle while I was growing up. She crafted the most amazing wedding cakes and taught us the value of hard work and perseverance to achieve our goals.
