About Me

Hi! I'm Kris Binkowski, the heart and hands behind Binks' Handmade Haven. My love for crafting started when I was a young girl, but it truly blossomed in 2015—when I was searching for a creative outlet for my special needs son. He was incredibly artistic, and as his medical challenges made it harder for him to craft independently, I bought a small Cricut “Bug” so we could make cards together.

 

That little machine sparked something big. I quickly fell in love with the creative possibilities and upgraded to a larger Cricut—then eventually to every machine they make, plus a Silhouette Cameo and a heat press! What began as cardmaking for family and friends evolved into a full-fledged creative journey.

 

I started making personalized gifts—glass blocks for nurseries, holiday shadow boxes, custom canvases, and more. Crafting became a calming, meaningful outlet, and with every request from friends, my collection of creations grew. As the projects kept coming, one phrase naturally became my motto: “If you can IMAGINE it, I can CREATE it!”

Over time, I’ve created everything from baby onesies and nursery art to decorative tumblers, wine glasses, T-shirts, custom invitations, scrapbook pages, and keepsakes for every occasion. What makes each piece special is the story behind it - and that’s what drives me.

My husband, David - an artist himself - joined me on this adventure, and together, we launched Binks' Handmade Haven, a creative business built on imagination, heart, and handmade charm.
