    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…

    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…

    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…

    My hooks have been super busy making baked goods lately. My kids got really excited when I made their favorite cake flavors for pretend play. I love the carrot cake and chocolate cake myself. 🎂🍰 Which are your favorites? I think I might add a candle on top of some of the cakes. I’ll update…

    I know what it’s like to grow up feeling like you had no one: that you couldn’t trust anyone. To grow up in fear of loss or being hurt again. I know what it’s like not being accepted and being neglected. I understand brokenness and loneliness. I know what it feels like to feel all…

    I recently challenged myself to make some chickens on swings – in four different flavors! Thanks to my husband for the bawk pun! They are now available in the shop. Choose from Dumpling, Orange Chicken, Chris P. Sesame, or Lo Mein!

    Our website has recently changed in a big way (a good way). After a lot of prayer and conversations we’ve finally changed it to be about our ministry instead of just a shop. It has been on my heart for years to start a ministry for children who have suffered from abuse, sexual abuse, neglect,…

    I know it’s still fall, and temperatures haven’t really dropped yet here in Texas, but I have been busy making snowmen. It took me a little while to figure out how I wanted them to look but I’m pretty happy with these. I won’t be putting these up for sale right now on the site,…

    Over 12 years ago I started amigurumi, which is crochet or knit (in my case crochet) creatures or objects out of yarn. I’ve made some dolls but mostly enjoy making animals.  Today my husband was going through our garage, which we’ve had to use for storage since having to tear the house down, and he…

    I’ve been attempting to use up a lot of my yarn stash recently. When I was designing and writing crochet patterns to sell I accumulated a lot of different yarn colors. Having a lot of different colors has been fun but I haven’t been keeping my colors organized as well as I’d like them to…
