Crafty cats ✨

My website ! :3

They get me every time.

Sweet little koi boi filled to the brim with recycled soft plastics and scraps of cardboard 🙌

I made this trash koi fish to add to my crappy wall of dodgy masks and alters #blessthismess

Created using rubbish, paper mache and acrylics 🐟

Vasco can go to the confessional with the intent to just take up all the time so Machete doesn't have to talk to anyone else lol

.

can we please appreciate that I made this with my own 2 hands???? It's a staple of my room now!

Betcha didn't know these trinkets once were treasures. A once popular toy enjoyed by those born in the 1900's, survived the test of time as a toy for fidgeting, ornamental piece, and fashion accessory.

It's difficult to find 100% handmade versions of these quirky multi-functional toys in 2023. Luckily, I've spent the last half decade crafting these to keep this traditional handmade piece alive.

Please consider browsing my Etsy shop. I offer these in 100's of colours (including custom requests), and my reviews showcase how customers have discovered uses for this in their own personal way.

PS: As highly requested, international customers can now enjoy lower shipping costs, making Meraki Sphere more affordable than ever, overseas. :)

Made this all in one sitting, which meant I was up until about 2:30am making this. (That’s why I look a bit bedraggled.) Whoops! Anyway, just a cute little good luck charm and my first time making an embroidered badge. I loved making this, maybe I’ll make more.

Another one down. I should get a photo with all of us and our parasols one day (when we're in the same state again).

I spent the last four days at a quilt retreat. I go to this one once a year and the ladies there are awesome! They were all so happy I was able to make it in light of my cancer and all the associated treatments I had to undergo this past year.

Before I left I managed to get the last of my black hexies basted and ready to go.

I got 7 tote bags made for various people. I also made a wall hanging, but forgot about its binding, so I will have to get that part done sometime in the coming week. I also got a lot done on my epp quilt.

I started adding the black outlines! I think it makes the yellows and creams just POP! I am excited to see how this will all come together.

The Secret Ingredient is Cat Hair

I’m thinking of hanging this one in the kitchen!

Pattern time!

🎉 [NEW PATTERN RELEASE] 🎉 Please welcome Kawaii Lotus 🪷 the first character from my NEW collection called “AradiyaToys Kawaii”! A few words about the “AradiyaToys Kawaii” collection. You may have seen many kawaii characters in my Mini sets. Every time I design a new pattern, I feel incredibly excited 😍 to create these adorable little kawaii toys. However, I’ve always been limited to including only one of them in my patterns, which means I couldn’t make as many kawaii toys as I wanted. That’s why I decided 💭 to start a new collection of easy, fast-to-create, and affordable crochet patterns that would cater to both beginners and skilled crocheters. This collection brings together everything I love about kawaii toys. They are cute, quick to finish, and can be completed in just a few hours, like on a Friday evening, just like today! 🤗 I, like many other girls, have always had a special affinity for flowers, and the Lotus has been one of my favorites since childhood. It has always appeared so magical to me, with its flower delicately resting on a leaf, floating in a tranquil 🧘🏼‍♀️ pond amidst other plants and frogs 🐸 The scene evokes a sense of peace and serenity. I am very happy to have the Lotus as the first character in the “AradiyaToys Kawaii” collection and I also incredibly excited to unveil the next characters I have prepared for you in the coming weeks! 🥰 Oh, yes, you can also use this toy as a keychain by easily attaching a keychain ring to the top of Kawaii Lotus! 😊 The pattern is already available in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch and Ukrainian here -> https://etsy.me/3Cng1Zm 🤗 This pattern has been tested, proofread and translated by super talented girls: Celine, Isa, MJ, Clarissa, Sabrina, Roberta, Gwendoline, Sarah and Liubov! Thank you very much, dear friends! You all are amazing! ��💙

Ever tried blocking a circle skirt?

I'm using the string method in hopes to get it as round as possible. Not gonna use pins to avoid the pointy bits
