Those of you that are familiar with the hit Australian cartoon Bluey are probably familiar with this little guy. Affectionately called a long dog, these little characters are hidden in the scenery like little Where's Waldo Easter egg treats. (The image below was found on the internet and is not mine.) My sons and I… Continue reading Long Dog from Bluey

Pocket Mice
These are actually from a free pattern by StringyDingDing. She calls them no-sew scrap mouse amigurumi. We renamed them to suit our customers in Japan. The direct link to her pattern is at the bottom of this post. It's been nearly two years that I've been crocheting these adorable little mice. It all started when… Continue reading Pocket Mice
Oggy Oggy
A year ago my family discovered Oggy Oggy. We had been big fans of Oggy and the Cockroaches so we were totally enamored with the new, adorable, little, chibi version of our family favorite. Of course, one of the first questions was, "Mama, can you make us one?" I wanted to just buy an official… Continue reading Oggy Oggy
Balloon Bunny
Aren't balloon animals so much fun? My sons love them but have real issues with them inevitably popping so a pop-proof alternative was needed. We also love puzzles and interactive toys. A crochet balloon animal fits all of those requirements! I decided to provide it free for you to view online! You can also purchase… Continue reading Balloon Bunny

McQueen and Mater costumes
Halloween of 2017 my then 5 year old wanted to be Lightning McQueen from Disney Cars. He had always been Cars obsessed so I wasn't surprised at this request. I couldn't find a costume anywhere so I figured I had to make one. To top it off, he decided his best buddy little brother had… Continue reading McQueen and Mater costumes
No-Sew Turtle
Lately, I have really been on a no-sew crochet pattern kick. I also don't particularly like how my closing of a decreasing round looks, so if I can figure out how to work mostly with increases and close by single crocheting the halves together, I consider it a major win.This pattern uses a standard African… Continue reading No-Sew Turtle
Flip Eggs
In our house, we like toys that actually do something, or at least require a bit more interaction than just looking cute. Flip toys fit that bill. I also wanted a super easy, super fast, attention grabbing impulse/add-on item for my craft sale events. Again, this fits the bill. I am sure this has been… Continue reading Flip Eggs
Violet the Kitty – by Little Muggles
It has only been a bit over a year since I crocheted my first amigurumi. I was getting ready to give up any dreams I might have had of being able to crochet because my infrequent attempts at making scarves over the years were pretty much failures due to my tight tension. I had heard… Continue reading Violet the Kitty – by Little Muggles
Yamper Pokemon
Pokemon just recently debuted a new monster named Yamper. This adorable Welsh Corgi inspired guy has already caught the hearts of nearly everyone who has seen him. I had never before made a Pokemon but couldn't resist trying my hand at this dapper little fellow. I think the heart butt is one of the main… Continue reading Yamper Pokemon
