This series of keychains all began when I made a tiny mouse for my youngest son and he decided he just HAD to have a house for it to go everywhere with him. Then it became a viral hit with all of his preschool friends and soon everyone had a different colored mouse with their… Continue reading Mikan Mouse House and Doll

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

My 7 year old son decided on what the hair style would be which is actually prefect because it is the same style she has had most of her life. I went with a country blue because… Continue reading Linda Angel
Love Cactus Garden
Love can be prickly can't it? But there is nothing prickly about this lovely little cactus garden.I'm sure you've seen other versions of this where they wrap a long tube around to for an E shape. That never looked quite right to me. I also didn't like how most of those other patterns used a… Continue reading Love Cactus Garden
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
