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

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
Bell Pepper – パプリカ
I actually designed this little bell pepper to be the base of a gag gift for my 6 year old. The 2020 Olympics will be held in Tokyo and one of the main songs promoting it is called Papurika (パプリカ) Olympics. Yep, bell pepper Olympics. It's a cute song but even after my son, Kenji,… Continue reading Bell Pepper – パプリカ
Very Hungry Caterpillar – by Gillian Dite
Everybody knows Eric Carle's delightful story about an adorable little bug with a voracious appetite. There are also many soft toys of this character available for purchase. But there is always something more satisfying about sitting down to read with your child as they hold a homemade friend to enjoy the story with.I searched the… Continue reading Very Hungry Caterpillar – by Gillian Dite
