Hey, Dooney

Happy Valentine's Day! I think this is my favorite "card" that we've ever done. I bought a bulk bag of wildflower seeds and some pretty envelopes. I designed a label quick with some planting instructions and printed them on some 2"x4" labels.

I got to trade one of my crocheted kitties for a felted one by Simply Complex Art Shop this weekend! Pic in comments 💕

I got a great find at the thrift store!

Merry Christmas from HeyDooney! I made this stocking for my friend's baby. Pattern is Ponderosa Stocking by Nella's Cottage

Do you remember when I entered my crochet in a fan art contest and received an advanced reader copy of the new book? It's the scene in my cover photo. Well, I was honored to finally get to meet Peter V. Brett in person to get my book signed and give him my work! He was so nice and appreciative, and gave me a beautiful gift in return. It was such a surprise! I had an amazing day 💕

I took an embroidery class at Adorn Janesville last night. I've done a bit of embroidery for amigurumi faces, but I've never really learned the basics. It was a lot of fun. I couldn't wait to finish it up this morning! I did add the white thread. I think it makes the candy corn pop more, plus I didn't leave enough white space in one of the eyes, so french knots to the rescue!

Thanks for your support!

All set up at Happy Harvest Fest '23 ! My helpers are cold, they're the lumps under blankets behind the table, haha!

You can adopt an axolotl at Happy Harvest Fest '23! Less than a week away!

Cockatoo!

Did you guess gummy worms? I love sour gummies! These are fully posable because of the foam-covered wire inside! They will be available at Happy Harvest Fest '23! I can also ship, although it will be delayed due to building up stock for my one and only event this year.

What could these colors be for? 🤔
Hint: it's something sweet!

I'm in love 💕

Are you a maker? Something I know for certain is us makers show up for one another. ❤️

I met my friend, Lynsey, over 10 years ago through a maker swap. She’s talented, generous, and kind. She recently lost her 13 month old daughter, Olivya.

I can’t pretend to understand life’s reasons. I can’t heal her grief. But I can show up with heart and try to help with the skills I’ve been given.

I created the Makers For Olivya collection. 100 percent of the profit will be donated to Lynsey’s family.

Not able to make a purchase? From one creator to another, I understand. Please consider sharing in your stories and/or praying for their family.

Hug your loved ones extra tight today - for Olivya ❤️ Thanks for being the best community on the planet.

Did you guess bald eagle?

What's it gonna be? 🤔

They've been waiting to be finished for ages while I worked on other things. Now that they have eyes, I don't think I'll be able to put them off 😆

I added to my handmade shelf with two more Lucky Little Llamas! Crochet by me, resin candleholder by Ms. Pamela at Bling360 who we miss dearly, llamas by Simply Complex Art Shop, and the chicken by a vendor I sat next to at a show Christmas 2021. I wish I had got her card!

A cozy cat butt for this icy stormy day! What is your weather like? Are you hunkered down inside like me?

My son's valentine mailbox! The last time we were at the store, he said this velvet yarn looked like ramen. So when he came up with this design, we had to go back and get it!

My new cup design!

244 Days until Happy Harvest Fest '23!!!!

After a bit of a break, I've started the nugget factory again! This time, I have more than just kittens.

I had to share this adorable llama I got at the farmer's market this morning! It's from Simply Complex Art Shop and he has his own little patch of grass with a tuft of flowers. I bought a mystery box and he was in it along with these other cool things! You have to check their page out!
