Meet Scrappy! He’s a curious little kitty with a giant tilted head and stitches all over who likes to sit in his chair and stare at me while I work. He is my Husband’s spirit animal. The original pattern comes from Wee Wonderfuls by Hillary Lang and is called the Pointy Kitty Pattern. Continue reading Scrappy Kitty Sewing Pattern
Happy Monday! Last week, I shared a to-die-for homemade cherry pie filling recipe. Later this week, I’ll talk about the tarts that I used the filling in.

The first one I completed was this adorable little hippo! Continue reading Crocheted Amigurumi Hippo Pattern
