The doctor told his mother that he needed to have something to do with his hands. His mother, Dutch Burns, taught her son how to knit. Bruce took to it quickly and was soon knitting small and simple items. As time passed he became very good at it. Later, as an adult, Bruce taught himself how to crochet. Once again he quickly mastered it. As time passed he was able to design and make knitted and cr
ocheted items, most of which were given away to friends and family. In 1992 Barbara Burns became Bruce’s wife. Early in the marriage Bruce passed his skills to his wife. Then one night, while sitting in the living room crafting and watching TV, they began to talk about the joy and satisfaction they got from practicing their crafts. They wanted a way that people outside their circle for family and friends could enjoy the fruits of their crafting skills. Barbara’s parents had passed away, Ronald Ray Cryer (1988) and Laura May Cryer (2014), so in honor of them it was decided to use the initials of their middle names and crate R & M Craft Factory. At R & M Craft Factory hand crafted memories are made (For a small fee that is used to cover the cost of items being made.) for the enjoyment of anyone that wants them. These hand crafted items are custom made to order. But the crafting skills are not limited to knitting and crocheting. Other handmade items, such as custom jewelry, greeting cards, candles, hand painted wooden items, silk flower arrangements, and more are also made to order. So now R & M Craft Factory invites you to join them as they continue their story of high quality, hand crafted items by contacting them with your thoughts and ideas for your very own hand crafted memory.
