These dinosaurs were inspired by the abundance of felt dinosaurs available on Pinterest. I was so excited to make one, as we have some dinosaur fans in my house. I distinctly remember thinking, if I were to crochet something like this, it would take forever and so I decided to start yet another non-crochet project.… Continue reading Mini Dinosaurs (ornaments)
Polar Bear Gift Card Holder (Ornament)

And also like my penguin, the hats are optional. Yes, I said hats. I made a little hat for this bear and something… Continue reading Polar Bear Gift Card Holder (Ornament)
Penguin Gift Card Holder (Ornament)
First things first, this cutie is pictured in a Santa hat, but if you leave it off, he becomes a cute "thank you", "birthday", "just because", etc gift card holder.

Geometric Squared Pouch
I’ll admit right now that naming my patterns is not my strong suit. The name for this piece came to be because I was inspired by my Geometric Zip Pouch.

Rag Doll Deer
You guys I LOVE these deer! I had this amazing idea to make a sort of scrappy, no sew skirt from lace ribbon. I designed this doll to have extra long legs in order to accommodate the skirt. Then, wouldn’t you know, I gravely underestimated my supply of lace ribbon. I was pretty disappointed because… Continue reading Rag Doll Deer
