Bakery Mouse has been busy. 🐭🍪
A little flour here.
A few cookies there.
Maybe slightly too much taste-testing.
Bakery Mouse is one of the original Book Buddies — soft little friends made for tiny hands and big imaginations.
And judging by this kitchen...
I think someone needs to teach him how to clean up. 😂

Until the next Tale….! 🍪🧑🏽‍🍳🍓

A little Garden Bunny appreciation post. 🐰🌿

One of the very first Book Buddies to join the book buddies, and still one of my favourites.

Soft, cuddly, and ready to accompany a little reader through many, many stories. 📚

And if you've been eyeing him for a while... yes, you can absolutely send me a message about ordering one. 🤎

Until the next Tale...🐰🥕📚

Confession time...
Not everything I make is an instant success. 😅
There are patterns that get frogged, colour palettes that don’t quite work, and one project on my hook right now that I absolutely adore... despite the fact that the yarn and I are having a very one-sided argument. 😅
I keep reminding myself that I’m not making these for me—I’m making them for little hands, bedtime cuddles, and well-loved adventures. If the finished friend is worth it, I’ll happily battle the yarn.
So while I keep tweaking and perfecting that new design... here’s a little visit from the Overall Cows. 🐮💕
They’ve been part of my journey from the beginning, and I still smile every time I see their tiny overalls.

Until the next Tale… 🐄🧶🛏️

It looks like story time is about to begin... 📖✨
These little friends are busy getting ready for a big adventure—Applefest!
Over the next couple of weeks I’ll be filling my booth buckets with cuddly Book Buddies, playful Overall Cows, baby rattles, and a few brand new creations I’ve been dreaming up.
I can’t wait to watch this little collection grow. 🤍

Who’s your favourite? 🐮🪿🦕🐝🌈☀️🧸

The yarn scraps have officially become something much cuter...
Meet the newest Book Buddy - Woodland Turtle!
Inspired by one of my favourites, who has become one of my son’s favourites 💚🐢 He’s the perfect size for small hands, and so recognizable with his little kerchief.

Fun fact no one asked for: I couldn’t say “Franklin” growing up. So these stories are affectionately called “Klanklin” in our household 🤭

Until the next Tale… 📚🌳✏️🚲

Can you guess what I’ve been working on? 👀

Here’s your only clue...

(And just for your entertainment, this is how many ends need to be sewn on ONE little fella! 😂)

I’m testing another pattern for what I hope will become part of my growing Book Buddy collection, and I couldn’t be happier with how it’s coming together.

Any guesses before the reveal?

Until the next tale...🫐⚾️🪰🌳

Well... I didn’t even get the chance to post her. 🤭
This little Cow was claimed before I could even share her!
Safe to say these overall cows might be sticking around. 💕
If you’ve been quietly watching something and wondering if you should message me... this is your sign. I love making customs while I’m getting ready for my relaunch.
What colour overalls should I make next? 👇

Currently testing out some new bag charm ideas and having way too much fun with it. ✨

As a mom, my bags go everywhere with me, so I love finding little ways to add personality to the everyday essentials. I also know we all kind of have the same bag am I right moms? We need a way to point ours out in the pile of black diaper bags at the park.... 😅

Still experimenting, still creating, and definitely still in my "try every idea" era. 😉

Which charm would you choose? Have a request? DM me!

Until the next tale... 🪡🍓🎀
