Cotton Candy Babies


Not a new design just a spin on the Fruity Babies. I've been asked a few times why are they naked ? Their nakedness adds to their charm & I just don't want to cover the belly button : )

I made this pattern in Memory of my Dear Mom who lost her battle with breast cancer in 1997. She was a truly beautiful woman with a warm heart & a heart of gold. I miss her everyday. I think she would’ve liked the flamingo it’s kinda silly & makes me smile just like she did.

Grammies Ear Flap Hat



My newest Design I made this pattern for my Dear Friend her Grandaughters call her Grammie & the stitch is a granny style. I have always made other things other than Ami I've just never really written up the patterns for them.One of my goals for this new year was to branch out & design things other than just Ami & to put some finished items in my shop. Both of these I have now done.

Newest Design

Mr. Sonny Mouse & Mamacita Mouse

My newest pattern. This was the first time I've designed removeable clothes. I think they turned out pretty cute. I think I'll make them some clothes for Valentines Day & St. Patricks Day.

I'll soon be working on another new design so keep checking back for updates.

Back to the Fun

I hope everyone had Happy Holidays !! I took a little break from designing Ami and made some hats & other accessories.Now I'm back to making some creatures. I have 1 I need to finish up that I started before the holidays. I also have 1 I just started on. So soon I'll be bugging my testers. This year I would like to put some finished items in the store not only Ami but some other things as well. I also would like to sell some patterns for others items. I prefer to sell patterns it means I do not have to go to the Post Office which for some odd reason is not my favorite place. Cheers to a Wonderful New Year !!
