Where Simplicity Starts & Friendships begin
Welcome to our crafting family. We’re passionate about sharing the joy of crochet, building community, and inspiring makers of all skill levels.
#Hello Lovely,#
I’m Mistie, owner and founder of American Crochet ~ AKA Mistie Bush Designs and Crafting A Rainbow Of Hope. A family friend (more like a grandmother to me) taught me to crochet when I was 16 years old.
I picked crocheting back up in 2004 and started designing patterns in 2007. I combined my love of crocheting, knitting, spinning yarn, caring for others, designing and dyeing, with my passion for business.
My husband, Kevin, helps me run the business. We have 5 children, four dogs and a pig, who keeps us busy!
American Crochet ~ Mistie Bush Designs ~ Crafting A Rainbow Of Hope is an important part of supporting our family financially, and it is a lot of fun as well. We enjoy interacting with all the awesome caring Crafters we have met along the way. We hope to continue doing this for a long time to come, with your support.

I’m on a mission to share my love of crochet, knitting, and spinning with others, teaching and inspiring makers of all skill levels. Fueled by faith and an undeniable coffee addiction, I’m here to guide you through every stitch.
