Now available on my etsy shop!!

You can customize them or choose a surprise me option.

Each love bug comes with a small valentine. Only big enough for them to carry, obviously!

If you have questions or are interested in a bulk order, please message me stating so.

I hope you guys love these bugs as much as I do! They're so perfectly cute and make the best little plushie to keep on your desk or turn into a keychain.

I've decided to try something this year......
I found this pattern last year, and I love it!!!!!
Plus, i feel it's perfect for Valentines Day ❣️ So, with that being said, I am going to post them on my etsy account (so watch for a coming soon post) and do a "send someone special a lovebug"
When I was in high school, you could send your friends or lovers or whatever different colored carnations. I think these would be perfect for any age..... Neices, nephews, friends, acquaintances, parents, whoever you wanna send one to.
I will likely take color requests, or you can do a surprise color.

Christmas might be over, but Edna will remain in our house (or transferred to the garage) till spring when we can safely plant her.
We like to buy b&b trees so we can plant them and watch them grow in the years to come.
I FINALLY finished my octopus. I started forever ago but had to put off due to xmas present making and decided she would look good in our tree.
And if you didn't pick up on it, this years tree is named Edna. Last year's tree, we named Elmer, and he is doing very well in our yard (minus the incident with the deer before we fenced him in)

I would like to thank EVERYONE for coming out to see me last weekend at the sweet potato festival!
I really wish I would have taken before and afters because wow, did ya'll ever buy me out!!!!
Saturday was a beautiful da, and I am eternally grateful to everyone's love and support over my makes. I really enjoy seeing the joy my makes bring everyone from the wee tiny humans to grown adults. I've spent this last week taking a nice little break from making things to (finally) clean my house and my dogs (dirt balls they are) and get in some good old cuddles with my kitten mitten.
I am so excited to bring new makes this November to the wellsville holiday craft show on November 9th
SEE YOU THERE!!
