Penny Stitches
Welcome to Penny Stitches. I will be posting handmade, mostly crocheted items. Just an FYI... blanket sizes vary because I build them until they feel right.
Sooooooo…. I know it is still blazing hot and may be a little too early for this. But Autumn is my favorite time of year and maybe the cuteness of this rearview mirror hanger will encourage to fall to get here already!!! Little Boo loves road trips and doesn’t get car sick, talk back or tell you how to drive!
I kind of Franensteined this from a couple of different patterns.
Ghost pattern: Tiffany Horton
Pumpkin pattern: Just a common sense little pumpkin with a curlicue added
Cord and Leaf: Over My Dead Stitches
Nothing to see here… just some Postle Paul Possums hanging around! I made these to hang from a rear view mirror, but as you can see, they will hang out anywhere!
Pattern by: Lots of Frogging
I keep forgetting to add the pattern designers on my posts! 😬
Meet Scrappy! This little pupper was another learning experience! But we survived it… barely. The pattern gave no instructions for assembly so he is a little wonky in places… but still ended up with the sweetest little face.
Latest project…. Let me tell ya, the importance of reading the directions all the way through and watching the tutorial videos that are included can not be stressed enough. Now I know… I am very pleased with how these turned out and look forward to making more someday. Not today though… 😂😂😂
Wanted to try something new… Litte dress for Ella… Not too shabby for my first attempt at clothing that isn’t for a goose… 😊
It’s been raining so much the yard goose needed a rain coat and the froggie needed a dry place to snuggle in! Thanks to comments from my daughter’s students who noticed that the outfit was giving off Georgie vibes from “IT” a nice red balloon was added to the ensemble. Also thank you to my daughter Emaleigh for the photos of her goose! We all float down here… 🎈🤡💧
Latest project finished just in time for the freezing weather!
A little accessorizing for the holidays!
Chickens!
Because I am who I am… I had to look into this. Apparently this is not an actual Irish belief. However, just because I am a nerd, there are many such beliefs for many other forms of creativity. For example the Amish quilts have a “humility square”. A block or bit of fabric that obviously does not fit with the rest of the quilt. Navajos also have what the call a spirit line woven into their rugs for humility.
Anyway, all that to say… y’all are absolutely safe from getting part of my soul with y’all’s crochet items. They are full of mistakes. 😂😂😂
Frogs and Dinos! $6 each or mix and match 2 for $10. These are also made out of chenille yarn and are also super soft. Comment or message me!
Whales and jelly fish… These are chenille yarn and they are super soft! $3 each or mix and match 2 for $5. I have a whale that I keep on my desk to pet when I am stressed out 😂 These would also make perfect stocking stuffers for those that are already planning that far ahead! Comment or message me!
Hey all!!!! I have been working on a lot of things for crafts fairs/shows this fall! However, ”the best laid schemes of mice and men, gang aft a-gley” and I am going to be moving soon and I will most likely not have time for these activities and more importantly, I do not want to pack and store all these things…. So, I will be posting some things discounted quite a bit from what they would be at the craft fairs! I will be posting for a couple of days because I have quite a bit.
If you see something you want, please message me! If you see something you want for kids in your life, but are a little short on funds, please contact me!!! We can work something out! Moving boxes and supplies are as good as money in my world right now! 😂😂😂 Seriously though… contact me.
I couldn’t pick just one fox pattern! So, options are always nice!
Hey all! Sorry, it’s been a while! I have been busy working away though on some custom orders and some “just because I like” things as well. Started a new job and went on vacation in there as well! I will be posting some things pretty soon. Y’all know what to do if you there is something that you like.
Hope you all have great day!
Rawr!!! Lawrence is a little feisty on this chilly afternoon!

Just a few things! Currently trying to play catch up on orders and get Autumn/Halloween things made! It's almost that time of year! 😁
Okay now... it really cannot get much cuter than this. Pattern by Errina Lee. Keep an eye out for more things from her patterns! I adore her patterns!
I will be working on Halloween, Autumn and Christmas items soon. Ideas are always appreciated!
Hope yall all have a Happy and Safe 4th of July!
Just wanted to show you all the difference that different yarns make! All three are the exact same pattern, but using different yarns (worsted, chenille and blanket) and different hook sizes.
It's been a few busy weeks! Thank you all for your continued support!
Ssssammie ssssayss "Good morning yall!" Sammie is over 60 inches long (that's as long as my tape measurer goes and it's a couple of inches longer) and a sssssoft cuddly sssnake!
Sammie has a home ... but his friends are are available in many different color options! Message me if you need one of Sammie's friends!
Sera says "Hey ya'll!"
