Creative Designs by Sheila Zachariae

map-pin United States

Hi, I'm Sheila Zachariae and I own and operate Creative Design. I was taught to knit by my mother in my teens in the '70's and I quickly went from that to cross stitch and then needlepoint.

Life goes on to a full time job, marriage, a child and then in early in 2004, I was forced to stay off my feet. I pick up the needles and started with knitting a scarf and then another, and then another.
Next thing I know, I have 50 of them!

Off to a local art gallery I go to peddle my wares. They loved and sold them all. Creative Design was born! Two upscale children's boutiques later, here I am. More recently, I have been fortunate enough to have my items in numerous online and stand alone children's and women's wear shops.

I can most often be found in "my chair" surrounded by a pile of yarn, fabric, more yarn, needles, another pile of yarn, patterns, more fabric...etc. We love to travel, eat good food, be with family and great friends.
