When you make a photo come to life for your daughter 😍🥰 I drew this rough sketch and then we visited my yarn stash so she could choose her yarn colors 🥹 She LOVES it so much. But somehow we’ve lost it already 🥲🤣 I may have to make another!! 😂

Mushroom people are my new favorite thing 😍
I left the cap so you can pop it up and down and he looks like a silly little balloon guy 😂

Got a set done today for Bundles for Babies...
This is a program created by a grieving mother at the loss of her two baby boys, who were born at 20 weeks and only survived a few hours 😢
It both hurts and heals my heart simultaneously to be able to contribute to this cause ❤️‍🩹 The blanket is 12”x12” to give you an idea on the size of everything. I can’t wait to send a box off. They’re collected in Kansas, but distributed nationwide. Slowly but surely filling up that box 🥲

I’m so happy to share these photos with you all! (Sharing with mom’s permission.)
Look how happy this sweet girl is with her new ballerina!! Absolutely melts my heart!! 😍🥰🥲

Just delivered this pretty lady to her new home this evening 🥰 It’s always bittersweet letting go of a detailed piece like this one, but I know she will be well-loved by her new family. 🥹
Now, onto the next adventure! 🤩

Went in with 3 totes FULL and came back with about 1/2 tote of plushes left! First three pics are before... Last one is after!! Thank you to everyone who came out to support me today! I really needed this!
Also…I’ve got my work cut out for me now 😂
I completely sold out of turtles—keychains and all. I guess that’s where I’ll start! 🥰

Still a few things left! 🥰

Come see me at Century Casino today for the farmer’s market!

I’ve been busy today! 5 fishes and 3 octopi done and put into their new mini aquariums. Pics below! 😉 Come see me this Saturday at Cape Riverfront Market! This week only it will be at Century Casino, which is also the start/end point for the Muddy River Marathon! There will be so many different vendors there and live music. Definitely something there for everyone! 🥰

May is mental health awareness month! Your life matters!!

All set up and ready! We’re inside today to avoid the nasty weather. Stop by and see us!

What are you doing on this lovely gloomy spring day?? 😅
Grab your umbrella ☔️ and come by the Little Buttercups Festival for an indoor/outdoor market from 11a-5p today! 🥰
I’ll post a pic of everything as soon as I’m set up! ☺️

The world is a crazy place. I find peace in my creative space 🥰

Some sweet little mermaids for your Sunday evening. 💜💚🩷🧜🏻‍♀️ I love them 🥹
Taking them to my market this coming Saturday! 🥰 I’m hoping to have more done by then of different varieties but we shall see!

Glad my husband supports my habit—I mean hobby 😅🤣 Happy Wednesday!

For those that do not know about it, here’s the info for the next event where I’ll be a vendor! 4/27/24, 11a-5p.
Just a couple short weeks away! So exciting! 🤩

My son Greyson threw my newly finished axolotl into the cats’ drinking bowl! 🤦🏻‍♀️
(Don’t worry, this one isn’t part of my market inventory 😅 all fresh inventory goes straight into a locked tote away from sticky fingers!! 😂)
Just look how proud he is haha. Thankfully it’s okay to machine wash!

All set up and ready to go!
Can you tell I’ve been busy? 😊

Happy Easter to you and your families!

This is also an announcement that this Saturday, April 6th, is the 5H Ranch Spring Festival, where I will be vending for the first time this year with lots of fun crocheted plushes, flower pillows, and keychains! Make plans to come out and see us! 🥰

Have a great day! 😊

Finally finished my rainbow sunflower. It’s been a bit of a rough week, which prevented me from crocheting for a few days, BUT look at the beautiful rainbow that came after the storm. I truly love how this came out 🧡🩷 worth the wait! 😊

Well if this isn’t inspiring!! These are real pictures of real sunflowers!! Someone in a crochet group said, why don’t you try to ombré your petals, and it was like 🤯 I really hope I can pull this off!! I have some funky ideas!! 😊😍

Big monochromatic sunflower just for the heck of it! My daughter, Madalynn, said it’s like a “movie that’s in black and white” and I love that. Here’s a pic of the original small sunflower, with a silver tone filter, next to the monochromatic pillow, no filter 🥰

Rainbow one to come next if I can just figure out how I want to do the colors 😅

I finished it! And I LOVE it so much! I had to show a pic on my couch as a throw pillow and a pic outside in this beautiful sunshine to capture the gorgeous colors. 🤩

Ran into some issues while working on it though. It’s supposed to have 10 petals but I ran out of yellow yarn right at the end of the 9th petal and had to improvise. I modified the middle to be a little smaller and it worked beautifully! I cannot wait to show this off at my market! I’m gonna need two tables to hold all my stuff at this rate!! 🥰

I found some brown yarn in stock that will work for the big sunflower pillow! Y’all aren’t ready for how big this new one is going to turn out 😂 I’m SO excited 😆

Just finished this sweet sunflower pillow, courtesy of Wonder Crochet’s free pattern 🥰 I think my tension was too tight or I overstuffed it, bc the petals are competing for space pretty bad 😅. I have a plan for how to alter the pattern for future pillows though bc this is just too cute to not replicate!! I wanted to make a bigger pillow but they’re out of the fluffy brown yarn I need 🙄 I’ll get it eventually 😜

This one will not be going to market bc I’m not 100% happy with it, so my youngest daughter has claimed it 😂😍

I made another mermaid friend! 🥰
I can’t wait to show these off at my upcoming market! 😍

Happy Monday!

Finally, a new creative way to store all the plushies I’ve made 😂 I was going to go with vacuum sealing, but 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

Good idea! 💡
