More Narwhals!


New Items! I made more narwhals for the shop! 
This is a new design I tried: It's a shark! I'm definitely going to make more of these cuties!  I'd also like to try to make a few dolphins and maybe some Orcas and fish to expand my growing number of ocean creatures! :D 

Someday I'm going to get around to making themed sets.For example: the Ocean Collection would include a whale, narwhal, dolphin, and orca; while another ocean set might be a shark, fish, octopus, star/and-or jelly fish, and crab. 


I have a couple more collection items flouting around in my brain too! Like a snow/ arctic theme would have a narwhal, seal, penguin, yeti, and polar bear.  A bear theme would have a brown bear, panda, koala, polar bear, and bear with a striped shirt.  A Sahara theme would have an elephant, lion, monkey, and zebra. A farm set would have a cow, chickens, horse, sheep, pig, and dog. And last but probably my favorite, a forest theme. It'd have the fox, bear, bunny, bird, beaver, and squirrel.



There are so many possibilities  I'm excited to start putting something together but I really need to get past Christmas first before I start anything big! 



I hope everyone has a wonderful week!!

The Fox, The Bear, & The Rabbit

Hello Everyone! 

I'd like to start by wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!! I love this time of year! The excitement of the holidays, the many returning friends and family, the food! I always have to have a piece of pumpkin pie, it's a must for Fall but especially Thanksgiving! My sister makes an amazing pie and I always love a big ol' piece covered in whipped cream! 

I have so much to be thankful for! If I actually tried to count all my blessings, I'm sure I'd lose count! I'm thankful for my husband, my Savior, our families and friends, our jobs, our little home. I feel so blessed to be able to have hobbies and share my them with you! My shop has been another blessing as well! I've gotten to know so many great people on Etsy! I truly enjoy what I do and that is such a blessing indeed!

Have you ever loved one of your design and then become dissatisfied? Lately I've been feeling like my design for the mini's was missing something. So, after much thought and pondering, I decided to return to a more doll-like design like the kitty in the previous post. That's not to say that I won't be making the mini style anymore, on the contrary, I've just added a new design! I loved the new standing design and my imagination ran wild! I think I made 4-6 different animals from the same basic pattern. 

First up, my favorite design: The fox, I love foxes!
The color changes weren't hard at all. On the tail I used some deep single crochets to make it look more natural - hair like.
