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
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

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
