My First Craft Fair!
I recently participated in my first craft fair! Super exciting, right?! A church that has adopted my husband while he goes through his seminary education invited us to come visit them. They also informed me of their fair that weekend and gave me the chance to set up a booth. I figured this was a great opportunity to get my feet wet and try out the craft fair scene. I have been super nervous to get out there in the real world to sell my product, but it felt hard to say no to their offer and I am so glad I said yes! This fair was definitely a learning…

FREE PATTERN – Mrs. Mouse Key Chain
“And I’ll know he’s the one when he makes me laugh” – Minnie Mouse This adorable key chain is the companion to the Mouse Key Chain pattern I posted a few weeks ago. If you didn’t see that pattern and want to, click here! This pattern is intended to be a fairly simple design, but she does have a few more pieces to her than her gentleman counter part so she does take a bit longer than he does to make. The design also does not require the key chain add on, I just thought it added a nice touch. Pattern notes – The final product should be…

FREE PATTERN – The Mouse Keychain
I got the idea for this pattern this past week while I was working on my giveaway dwarves. They were small, quick, and easy – some of my favorite qualities in a pattern! I don’t always have a lot of time (and patience) and it always feels so good to finish a project! This project also does not require a ton of materials, and you don’t have to make it into a keychain. I just thought that it added a nice touch! This pattern is intended to be a simple design that any beginner can make, BUT still is Disney themed and fun! I highly recommend checking out this blog…

FREE PATTERN – Super Baby
I am in love with the original Incredibles movie. I could go on for hours about all the different wonderful pieces, from the choice of super powers to the amazing design. This past week the newest Incredibles movie premiered and if you haven’t seen it yet, bookmark this page and come back later because you need to see it now! It was AMAZING!! The characters are stong, the villian is great, the plot is awesome. If you have seen, please DM me or email me or something so we can fangirl over it together. ANYWAY, I was so excited in anticipation for the movie that I created this adorable Super…

How to Curl Yarn
I recently got to make my very first couple set, a bride and a groom. My client was a recently engaged bride to be and fell in love with my dolls on Facebook. She wanted a bride and groom set to have for her upcoming wedding as a gift for her future husband and decoration at their wedding. For such a special occasion, I wanted to make sure she received exactly what she wanted so I made sure to ask her about everything from the dress shape to the hair color. She wanted a big ball gown dress (excellent choice), and brown hair for both the bride and groom. She…

FREE PATTERN – Island Girl
I love the movie Moana. It makes me laugh, it makes me cry, and I feel like the overall message of the movie is super powerful. I am glad that Disney has created another female lead that is strong and independent (like Mulan, Tiana, and Merida). When I first started crocheting, Moana was always my go to background movie, or background music, so it was only appropriate that I created a pattern for her! I have made Moana several times, and she is definitely my favorite pattern to crochet. She is fairly simple, using just a few colors and simple stitches. She just requires a bit of patience (especially for the hair).…

FREE PATTERN – Guppy Fish
This week has been nothing but craziness trying to get this finished and edited and formatted. But I did it! It is really finished and I am so excited to share this with you all! Since it is MerMay I figured it would be appropriate for my first pattern to be Mermaid inspired, or rather, what inspired the Mermaid! A cute little fish is a mermaid’s best friend, and we all could use a few extra loyal fiends in out lives, even if they do live under the sea. The first time I made my little Guppy Fish was as a Birthday/Thank you gift for my friend who takes my…

How I Started Crocheting
It is important to get the whole story when getting to know a person. Most likely if you are reading this you have seen my Instagram which is full of pictures of my recent work. But I didn’t start by making my own patterns, or even making dolls for that matter. So let me start at the beginning. When I graduated college and moved out on my own, I realized I had all this free time and all this stress. I was working three part time jobs, all involving customer service and none having to do with what I had spent 4 years studying in school. I was lost. I needed something…
