Munchkin Monsters

   Who wants to win a Munchkin Monster? I am launching my own line of plush monsters. They are crocheted, stuffed toys. Each one is custom made. You choose the size, colors, the entire design, for your child/grandchild/etc. They each have a tag sewn on them with your child's name to make them even more unique!


Here is a link to my son's monster. And like I said, each are made differently to be unique!

Starting out

   Since I was a small girl, I always wanted to learn to crochet. I would sit and watch my mom, and I would ask her at least a few times a year to teach me. Every time, she would give me a hook and some yarn and attempt to teach me. I never got it. It wasn't until my second pregnancy, my twins, that I decided I wanted to learn for real this time. Except, instead of crochet, I wanted to try my hand at knitting. 

    Knitting and I did not get along well. It took my entire pregnancy, 36 weeks, to finish one simple scarf. That is 252 days. Really. For a scarf. So, I decided it was time to try crocheting again. And this time, I actually wanted to learn. All those other times, I wanted to do it, but just didn't have the attention for it. 

     So, at twenty-two years old, I finally learned how to crochet, and I fell in love instantly. It soothes me. It lets me be creative if I want, or structured and following a pattern. Whatever I feel like that day, I can do. 

      My hope for this blog is to share patterns that I love, items I've made, and showcase other people's work also. Hope to "see" you back!
