The Friesing Artisan
My name is Haley Friese, the artist behind the Friesing Artisan. I am a Christian crafter who specializes in crochet. I have been crocheting for around 20 years, and I enjoy making my own patterns and creations. I am a stay-at-home mom of 3 wonderful children: two boys 3.5yrs and 19mo and our third is due March of 2026. I started crocheting in my free time and over the past 5 years it has evolved into a little hobby/business that has led me to participate in craft and Art Fairs around the state of Minnesota.
I often aim to make new items, and I am always excited for a special order that can challenge me to make something new and unique. Reach out if you are in need of anything crochet and hopefully, I can make you something that you will enjoy for years to come. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me, God Bless.
