Hello & welcome! 

My name is Karen Blackburn and I am a creative person living in Chicago. This is a place for some of what I think and much of what I make.  

As a result of my employment and volunteer experiences in the United States, England, Mozambique, and Mexico, I am committed to working with children and passionate about artistic endeavors:  sewing, quilting, knitting, writing, reading, and ballet. Many of these pursuits started when I was a child, selling little dolls and dancing annually in The Nutcracker.

It is a privilege and honor for me to create for others, and I have done custom work for over twenty years. I live my life with minimal technology and a wealth of creativity. I try my best to stay present because time travel, as we all know, is very hard. 

Thank you for stopping by - drop me a line anytime! Peace & be well.
