I have been working on these guys every weekend for the past 3 weeks and I have FINALLY finished them.

These guys actually work up pretty quickly but spring is on the way which means we've got chickens to deal with and a garden to get started on and a barn to clean out but between all the madness co.es the fun creations.

These little dragons will be available at my next show as mystery dragon eggs! Pick an egg and hatch a cute surprise baby dragon!

Pattern is by handmade by Jodie
Yarn is mostly posh by big twist previously sold at joann fabrics 😭

This weekends makes ....
A goat lovey (pattern by )
And a chicken that can hide things 🐣 ( pattern is by and was modified by me to create the hiding spot)
The goat lovey was a pattern I've been wanting to make for a while and will be available at my first craft show in April at Wellsville Fire Company
I currently plan to make more of the chickens as they would make the perfect addition to any easter basket or hiding spot for those easter egg hunts 😉

Now available on my etsy shop!!

You can customize them or choose a surprise me option.

Each love bug comes with a small valentine. Only big enough for them to carry, obviously!

If you have questions or are interested in a bulk order, please message me stating so.

I hope you guys love these bugs as much as I do! They're so perfectly cute and make the best little plushie to keep on your desk or turn into a keychain.

I've decided to try something this year......
I found this pattern last year, and I love it!!!!!
Plus, i feel it's perfect for Valentines Day ❣️ So, with that being said, I am going to post them on my etsy account (so watch for a coming soon post) and do a "send someone special a lovebug"
When I was in high school, you could send your friends or lovers or whatever different colored carnations. I think these would be perfect for any age..... Neices, nephews, friends, acquaintances, parents, whoever you wanna send one to.
I will likely take color requests, or you can do a surprise color.

Christmas might be over, but Edna will remain in our house (or transferred to the garage) till spring when we can safely plant her.
We like to buy b&b trees so we can plant them and watch them grow in the years to come.
I FINALLY finished my octopus. I started forever ago but had to put off due to xmas present making and decided she would look good in our tree.
And if you didn't pick up on it, this years tree is named Edna. Last year's tree, we named Elmer, and he is doing very well in our yard (minus the incident with the deer before we fenced him in)

I have not been present for a while, but just know I am still crocheting it's just the holiday season, and I make 90% of my gifts with love and care.
I'll be back soon 💙🐢.... im also still in the process of moving my craft room to the basement as well as cleaning the house in preparation of finishing our flooring we started 3 years ago..... 2 bedrooms to go and 1 bathroom that still needs a face lift as well..... we'll get there eventually 🤷‍♀️ after all, all good things come with time ✨️

Got a late start to my day, but it was so worth the late night to see the aurora borealis in southern Pennsylvania 🌌✨️

Mark your calendars and get those stocking stuffers while you can!

I would like to thank EVERYONE for coming out to see me last weekend at the sweet potato festival!
I really wish I would have taken before and afters because wow, did ya'll ever buy me out!!!!
Saturday was a beautiful da, and I am eternally grateful to everyone's love and support over my makes. I really enjoy seeing the joy my makes bring everyone from the wee tiny humans to grown adults. I've spent this last week taking a nice little break from making things to (finally) clean my house and my dogs (dirt balls they are) and get in some good old cuddles with my kitten mitten.
I am so excited to bring new makes this November to the wellsville holiday craft show on November 9th
SEE YOU THERE!!
