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
Crocodile – by Lysenko Crochet
When I'm looking for patterns by other designers I love when I stumble across something unique. Anyone can put together a bunch of circles and tubes, but sculpting with increases and decreases takes some finesse.I'd like to start off by saying I absolutely love my results.

Violet the Kitty – by Little Muggles
It has only been a bit over a year since I crocheted my first amigurumi.

I had heard… Continue reading Violet the Kitty – by Little Muggles

It's a cute song but even after my son, Kenji,… Continue reading Bell Pepper – パプリカ

No-Sew Octopus
When I take my oldest to his extracurriculars I usually make sure I toss a skein of yarn, a hook, and a printed pattern in my bag to keep myself occupied while I wait for him. On one recent day I found myself without a pattern. I don't keep patterns on my phone or even… Continue reading No-Sew Octopus

It has been worked on by my trusted and completely awesome little team of testers and is finally ready for release!I usually like staying clear of traditional animals because there are already so… Continue reading Twinkle Panda Bear Lovey and Rattle
Twinkle Elephant Lovey and Rattle
My 6 year old son named these guys Twinkle Loveys because the star shape made him think of "Twinkle Little Star".

I also prefer loveys that still look a bit more like an animal or doll… Continue reading Twinkle Elephant Lovey and Rattle
