Have you gotten one of our gifts yet? If not, we hope…

    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 will admit, I was kind of excited to recently purchase a VHS player for our kids at the thrift store. We don’t watch television except for some DVDs we have. We actually got rid of our TV about 7 years ago and have used a laptop for any DVDs we want to watch. We wound…

    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…

    I was going through my yarn after finishing Randy, attempting to gather it all into a tote and away from our living space, when I came across some unfinished snugglers. The pink and purple bears just need eyes while the red, grey, and white bear is still missing a head. After that I found some…

    I’ve been trying to get better photos of the stuffed animals that are done. Here are the small dande-lions with the large one. I had a lot of fun making these and I’m always up for trying to crochet puns. I’ve made corn dogs as well but we gave those away in town so I…

    I’m not sure why it took me so long to finish this particular dog but she’s done! I made the body last night and put it all together then quickly made a little bow headband that can come off as well. I’m still debating putting a tail on this one now that I know these…
