My name is Ruth Michael.  I live in Upstate New York and have been creating things out of yarn since I was 8 years old.  I always wanted to somehow combine my love of fiber arts and my desire to help others in my community but never really knew how.  That all changed in August of 2016 when my brother, Gordie, at the young age of 55, was suddenly taken from us.  In order to cope, I turned to knitting.  Somehow the steady click of the needles and seeing something take shape right before my eyes was very comforting. 

 

An idea came to me that if knitting gave me comfort during a very tough time in my life, maybe, through knitting, I could bring comfort to others when they are going through a difficult time in their life.  Happy Sheep Creations is dedicated to providing others with beautiful handmade items.
