Here’s another gift I made recently, this time for a newborn. It’s a baby-safe toy that I designed with interesting protrusions and high-contrast colors. It’s made entirely from yarn and stuffing, so it’s safe for even the littlest ones.
I just finished this little dog as a gift for a friend’s daughter. She’s in love with dogs of all kinds, so this one is a special mutt just for her. I used a space-dyed red yarn that I got last year from a Ravelry swap. I really like the way it came out. For [...]
I just finished these twin Nest Boxes for my twin sisters-in-law. They asked for peach flowers, so I designed around that color scheme.

Yay! I’ve posted the last of the four new patterns on Etsy. Whew. Time to take a break from all the computer work and pick up that crochet hook again, lol. Pirouette is one of my favorite designs so far. She’s very simple, but I think she’s pretty charming. I wanted to keep all four [...]
