I had a request for custom potion bottle dice containers for a customer and her DnD guild, so I took up the challenge!
Each one’s colors and face were customized to match the role and personality of each guild member.
Each one turned out just perfect with collaboration between myself and the customer.
They are constructed with a strong, hollow interior so they hold their shape as well as standard DnD dice!

This little cat was a special project for my sister. I needed something to get me out of my creative slump, and she needed something for her desk at work!
So I set out on a journey to make a cute little effigy of her little cat that could keep her company at work. Kyo is a muted, or “pastel” tortoiseshell kitty, and I wanted to do her coloring justice.
I blended light gray with a pretty beige/gold color to mimic Kyo’s coloring. And of course, added the green to her eyes.
Then it was accessory time! I bought some tiny 5mm magnets to use to help the hats stay in place. And Bobby pins to secure her wings!
I wrote these patterns down as I was making them. So after some product development and testing, I should have a digital pattern ready to sell to make this for yourself!
My first pet ever was a red tabby cat named Bob. I got him when I was 3 years old and had him for 14 wonderful years.
As a child, I moved around a bit because my dad was in the military. I didn’t make friends easily because I’m admittedly socially awkward, though I’ve grown out of it a bit….
ANYWAY… so Bob went with us everywhere we moved and was my constant in a world full of change. He was the best cat and loved to play fetch and curl up to sleep at night by my head with his nose in my ear.
He was the inspiration for this tabby cat with the happy curved tail.
He was the best cat I ever had.
I had a special request for a gender-neutral baby gift for a couple who are waiting for the baby to be born to know what they have, and who also like the outdoors and country cabin living.
So we came up with this little guy. The inspiration came from – of course – Pinterest.
I found this great pack of chenille yarn in different shades of brown on Amazon and set to work designing the head and antlers for myself.
Because I needed him to be safe for baby, I went ahead and made these crochet eyes for him. They give him the cutest face!
I hope that he will be treasured for years to come 🥰
For all those who supported my small crochet business dream in 2022, I am grateful to you. I hope to continue to grow this little seedling of a business in 2023.
I’ve completed my first project for 2023, and I’m glad to be able to share it with you!
Small and soft, this little owl reminds me to be studious and wise in the new year.
His pattern is found at Carmen Crochet and the yarn I used was a very fine velvet yarn that I found in a grab-bag of boutique yarns from a small craft store in downtown Nampa, Idaho.
That being said, any creations made by me with this particular yarn will be absolutely one of a kind!
Check my shop for availability!
This little turtle is so soft! He’s made with chunky chenille yarn and I just love the colors! I found the pattern here .
The pattern was easy to follow and worked up great, even with a much chunkier yarn and a much bigger hook.
I hope you love him as much as I do. He may even be available in my shop!
These little puppies were commissioned by one of my fellow volunteers here at the wildlife refuge I am currently working in. I didn’t have a pattern for them, so I made one up on the fly!
In spite of a lack of pattern, I still think they turned out just darling 🙂
I will be writing up this pattern, so check back with me for updates! If you want a custom dachshund puppy for yourself, message me for details!

So, I had this yarn – a huge ball of yarn – and it was brown, but I could tell that it also faded to a sort of buff/tan color. I originally was going to do a teddy bear with it. Then I realized that the colors would be perfect for Siamese kittens. And it worked! The dark bown faded naturally into the lighter color after I completed the feet and worked towards the rest of the body. And when I started making the head, it faded naturally to from light to dark. The ears and tail also came from the dark part of the yarn. They turned out so cute!
These are one-of-a-kind crochet kittens because this yarn is no longer available. If you’d like to own them, hop on over to my shop and get them before they are gone!
I found some really plush, soft and luxurious purple velvet yarn on clearance at Hobby Lobby – or as I call it, HibbityBibbity, and have been trying to figure out what to make with it. I also had some silver velvet yarn that I snagged from the thrift store. What to make… what to make…?
Que Pinterest! I was scrolling along one night and found this blog with a free pattern for a cute little baby dragon and thought “Aha! There’s my purple velvet plushie right there!”
Granted, the blog post looks like it was translated from a different language and there was some information lost in translation, so I had to wing it – haha pun intended – and do what I thought would look best for the yarn size I had and the size I was going for on my plushie.
Eventually I will get around to writing up my own version of this pattern because his face really is too cute and I think others will enjoy making one for themselves 🙂
It turns out that one made with standard acrylic yarn is just as cute!
I’ll definitely continue making these since I just love their faces 🥹
Check out my Etsy to see the acrylic yarn version available for adoption!
Here he is! I was scrolling through Pinterest one day and found this really cool pattern for a celestrial dragon by hookedbykati.com and was like.. hmmm… who do I know that needs their own personal dragon? Ah yes! My cousin who enjoys Dungeons and Dragons gaming with her friends – that’s who! So I set out on a mission to make him.
Her request was for black with hot pink trimmings. I knew better. I am in love with Red Heart’s “Polo Stripe” yarn. It reminds me of magic and mermaid tails. The indigo and violet gradient with electric magenta, cobalt blue, and sea foam are a fabulous combination for creating magical creatures. Combined with the black body and the Red Heart “Minty” green horns you’ve got a winning combination.
I added wings – because why not? They were not originally included with the Celestrial Dragon pattern, BUT they were included with the Vincent the Dragon pattern so I snagged that information and added wings. They are lightweight and stable with the added security of a frame made of pipe cleaners twisted together and inserted into the black edging.With his wrap-around style, he can rest on your arm or your shoulder.
I think he’s just awesome! Do you want your own dragon? Message me at my Etsy shop and we can talk deets!
