Happy Tuesday my fellow crafters! My latest design, the crocheted Candy Cane, is the perfect little project to get you in the holiday spirit! It’s super easy to make and a great choice for beginner crocheters. All you need is a bit of practice (and a pinch of patience!) to get comfortable with the continuous color change that gives the candy cane its signature striped look. Usually, when our crochet work starts to twist, we try to fix it right away, but this time, that natural twist is exactly what we want! In this project, it’s what creates the classic candy cane swirl that makes it instantly recognizable and oh-so festive. You can hang your candy canes on the Christmas tree, add them to a gift package, or even use them as part of your holiday table décor. They’re quick, satisfying, and so much fun to make - you might not stop at just one! The free pattern is available right here on my blog, and if you prefer a little extra help, the paid version (available in all my online shops) includes step-by-step illustrations that show exactly how to: Work the magic ring Change colors smoothly Finish with a neat and tidy edge Crocheting for Christmas doesn’t have to be complicated — sometimes the simplest projects bring the most joy. So grab some yarn, put on your favorite holiday music, and let’s make something sweet together! ***Y ou can purchase a downloadable AD-FREE PDF of the pattern - 4 pages with more than 20 step-by-step pictures, schematics and tips to guide you through the making process on Etsy HERE !

Happy Wednesday my fellow crafters! Autumn always brings back memories of shiny conkers scattered under chestnut trees. I wanted to capture a bit of that magic in yarn, so I designed a little conker with its spiky green husk. The husk opens up to reveal the smooth chestnut inside, just like the ones we used to collect on crisp fall walks. It’s a small, cozy project that feels like holding a piece of the season in your hands.) ***Y ou can purchase a downloadable AD-FREE PDF of the pattern - 8 pages with more than 30 step-by-step pictures, and tips to guide you through the making process on Etsy HERE !

Hi my fellow crafters! I'm excited to share with you all a wonderful collaboration I worked on with the fantastic team at THE SEWING BOX MAGAZINE. This year, designers from various corners of the world participate with a double design that transforms into a set: a main character and the hidden places. The pack will be available for a limited time, from July 7 to 22 . Here's a sweet little bear who just couldn't resist the honey... He’s found the perfect  hiding spot - right inside the honey pot! Sticky paws and all, he’s proof that sometimes the best places to hide are also the tastiest. Click on the images below to get your copy of the E-Book !

Happy Tuesday my fellow crafters! I'm so excited to introduce you to my latest crochet creation: Trevor the Triceratops! If you’ve been following my designs for a while, you might recognize something familiar - Trevor is a close cousin of Kevin the Dino , a pattern I released few years ago (and still one of my most loved!).

Whether you’re adding to your handmade dino family or just looking for a satisfying project, Trevor is ready to stomp (softly!) into your heart. Ready to get started? You can find the pattern now in my Etsy shop - Trevor’s waiting for you with his tiny horns, stitched smile, and big dino charm! ***Y ou can purchase a downloadable AD-FREE PDF of the pattern - 10 pages with more than 40 step-by-step pictures, and tips to guide you through the making process on Etsy HERE !

Happy Tuesday my fellow crafters! I’m so excited to introduce you to my latest design— Gale the Traveller Snail ! Gale isn’t your ordinary garden snail. Instead of a shell, this curious little friend carries a mini suitcase, always ready for the next adventure. Inspired by two of my previously beloved characters - Abigail the Snail and Martha the Christmas Snail - Gale is the newest addition to the snail family, and I have to say, it’s been such a joy bringing this one to life. The project is fun and easy to make, perfect for both beginner and seasoned crocheters. I used Coboo yarn and a 2.5 mm crochet hook, which gives the final piece a smooth and clean look, great for small, detailed designs. Whether you’re looking to add a touch of charm to your collection, make a travel-themed gift, or simply love cute and clever crochet toys, Gale might just be your new favorite companion. You can find the full pattern in my Etsy shop, and don’t forget to check out Abigail and Martha too - they make the cutest little trio! ***Y ou can purchase a downloadable AD-FREE PDF of the pattern - 10 pages with more than 50 step-by-step pictures, and tips to guide you through the making process on Etsy HERE !

I’m so excited to share this adorable crochet dinosaur stacking toy with you all! This fun and colorful project is perfect for little hands to play - it also helps little ones develop important skills like hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and problem-solving as they learn to stack the pieces in the right order. Plus, the soft and squishy design makes it a safe and playful addition to any child’s toy collection! Since it’s a bit of a bigger project, I’ll be breaking the pattern into three parts , posting one section each week. That way, you can crochet along at a relaxed pace! In Part 1 , we’ll start by making the three rings. Next week, we’ll add more pieces, and in the final part, we’ll bring everything together for the full dinosaur shape! Happy crocheting!

Happy Wednesday my fellow crafters! As the leaves start to fall and the air turns crisp, my crochet hook begins to dance with excitement for all things Halloween! This year, I wanted to create something that’s both a little spooky and irresistibly cute, so I designed a crocheted cat that’s ready to join in on the Halloween fun. For this project, I used a DK-weight yarn, paired with a 3.25mm crochet hook. To add a bit of charm, I decided to give my cat a tiny, crocheted pumpkin, because what’s Halloween without pumpkins, right?

Happy Tuesday my fellow crafters! I'm excited to finally share a project I designed few years ago - a Fiji banded iguana!

Perfect for nature lovers and crochet enthusiasts alike, this little iguana adds a touch of tropical charm to any collection. Plus, it’s a wonderful toy for kids, sparking their imagination as they embark on adventures with their new reptile friend! ***Y ou can purchase a downloadable AD-FREE PDF of the patterns with 8 pages, more than 40 step-by-step pictures, schematics and tips to guide you through the making process on Etsy HERE !
