    Tigger and Piglet

    I was recently commissioned to make Tigger and Piglet for a baby to be. I loved Tigger as a kid and he was fun to make! They were both fun but I especially loved the way Tigger turned out (he is my favorite. Sorry, Piglet).

    Foraged Mullein

    My husband came home from a short ride on the side-by-side today to share his score of mullein. He found a patch of it growing nearby and brought me six, good sized plants. I washed them (best I could) outside and am now letting them air dry a little before we hang them up. We’ll…

    Crochet Bearded Dragon

    Someone recently asked if I could make a bearded dragon that looks like their pet. Not being sure if I could, they provided a photo of one done and I was able to get the exact pattern to make it. Here’s how it turned out: I think I might make a pink one to look…

    Did anyone else ever watch the parts of Snoopy where they showed him and all of his siblings as puppies and wish you could somehow take them all home?

    Winston the Pitbull

    I recently decided I wanted to attempt a Ridge Runt that looked more like a pitbull terrier than the usual hound type of face. I have a hard time keeping in mind that due to the small size of the Ridge Runts and thick yarn I tend to lose a lot of detail options. I…

    Redbud Flowers

    The redbud trees are starting to bloom already, which is a sign of the beginning of spring around here in east Texas. Redbud flowers are small, pink flowers that grow all over the stems and branches of the redbud tree where growth nodes are present. The small flowers can be used to make teas and…

    Crochet Goldendoodle

    I made my first Ridge Runt using a furry yarn. It wasn’t the easiest to navigate but was definitely not as hard as I expected it to be. The yarn portion is thinner than what I usually use so it did turn it a little smaller than the usual pups. Someone recently asked me if…

    When Home Isn’t Safe (#2)

    A lot of people do not understand what it can be like growing up after childhood trauma and abuse. Those who have not experienced it on some level during their lifetime never give it a thought due to a lack of awareness and understanding. When someone who has been through trauma and abuse as a…

  • Teacup Pup or Puppuccino?

    Teacup Pup or Puppuccino?

    It was a long week this week so I thought I’d make something for myself, which I rarely do. I love both tea and dogs and had been wanting to make a pup in a teacup (or is this a puppuccino?).Anyway, I love how it turned out and it does make me smile so I’ll…
