This page will evolve as the design collection grows and the CAL (crochet along) continues throughout 2024. Scroll down to select each cat pattern by image. I've found myself accumulating an increasingly overwhelming stash of odd remnants of #4 medium worsted weight yarn in some rather bold colors and I wanted a way to use… Continue reading 2024 Happy Scrappy Cat Project

Jouji’s Gum Bug
My sons are always drawing. We go through so many pencils and drawing paper in our home. Inevitably I fall in love with some of the little creatures and just HAVE to make them tangible toys. The newly created toys always immediately get claimed by the little artist and added to the growing family of… Continue reading Jouji’s Gum Bug
Long Dog from Bluey
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

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
