✨ Throwback Thursday ✨
It's hard to believe this is where it all started... one small booth, one table, and a dream. 🧶💜
Fast forward to now, and that little setup has grown into a double booth filled with handmade creations.

☀️ Back by popular demand... Otter Ice Pop Holders are back in stock! 🦦🍧

No more freezing little hands while enjoying a favorite summer treat! These adorable crochet otter holders slip right over standard ice pops to make snack time more comfortable (and a whole lot cuter).

They're handmade with soft, durable yarn and are perfect for:
🩵 Summer afternoons
🎒 Pool days
🧺 Picnics
🎁 Unique gifts and stocking up for birthdays

These were a customer favorite last year, and I don't expect them to stay around for long. If you've been waiting for a restock, now's the time to grab yours!

Why choose handmade? 💜

Every handmade piece has a story.

When you shop handmade, you're supporting a real person, not a factory. You're choosing quality, craftsmanship, and something made with care from start to finish.

Each crochet item I create is stitched by hand, one stitch at a time, with love and attention to every detail.

Thank you for supporting handmade and helping small businesses like mine continue doing what we love. Your support truly means the world. 🧶✨

Happy Father’s Day to my brother — the guy who may not technically be my dad, but has that dependable dad energy. ❤️
He’s helped me set up for markets, taught me how to back up my trailer, sat with me in the ER when things were hard, and always shows up exactly when I need him most. On top of that, he’s an incredible uncle to my kids and loves them like his own.
After losing Dad, there are moments where I catch pieces of him in you — in the way you help without hesitation, protect the people you love, and make sure everyone is okay. I truly believe Dad would be so proud of the man you are.
Thank you for always being there. We love you more than words can say.

Summer is officially here, and I couldn't be more excited! ☀️

Longer days, sunshine, farmers markets, road trips, and all the little adventures that make this season special. Whether you're spending your summer at the beach, exploring new places, or simply enjoying time with family and friends, I hope it's filled with lots of joy and happy memories.

I'll be spending my summer creating new crochet items, attending markets, and bringing plenty of colorful handmade goodness along the way. 🧶💕

What are you looking forward to most this summer?

Whoops… I spilled my iced coffee on my cup sleeve. 😂☕🧶

One of my favorite things about most of my crochet items is that they’re machine washable — but sometimes I don’t want to run an entire load for one tiny item that would probably disappear in the wash anyway. 😅

So for quick little messes like this, I just use a little dish soap, give it a gentle scrub, and hang it up to air dry overnight so it’s ready to use again the next morning. Easy peasy. ❤️

May's bestsellers are in! 🎉🧶

🥇 #1 – Moody Octopuses
These expressive little octos continue to steal hearts and remain one of my best-selling items month after month!

🥈 #2 – Claw Machine Minis
I had so much fun making these, and it looks like you all loved them just as much as I did.

🥉 #3 – Large Baby Seahorses
Big, colorful, and cuddly—these adorable sea creatures swam their way into the top three.

Thank you to everyone who shopped with me, shared my posts, stopped by my booth, or supported my small business in any way. Every purchase helps me keep doing what I love, and I'm so grateful for each and every one of you. ❤️

Which of these is your favorite?

Happy National Donut Day from the sweetest assistant around 🍩🐶

She may not be allowed to eat the donut… but posing with crochet ones? That’s definitely her specialty. 😂🧶
