Hello, everyone! 👋

I wanted to share with you all a pattern, which is an amigurumi crochet hermit crab. You can find the free tutorial on my YouTube channel and the PDF pattern on my Etsy shop.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day! 😊

I just wanted to show my collection of what I consider my "fairy jewelry." My fairy aesthetic is mainly about twinkling gold and silver, pearls, stars, and clear crystals - especially those with an iridescent rainbow sheen.

Lots of these pieces were either made by me or I embellished them.

Here's a cool thing for people with gauge earrings: you can make your own elegant plugs by finding pretty buttons, snapping off the loop on the back, and gluing them to a stack of one or two buttons (depending on how thick your earlobe is) that match your gauge size. Then glue a slightly bigger button to the back to keep it in place when you're wearing it. People won't even be able to tell they're plugs!

I also love making brooches from buttons. Hobby Lobby has lots of very beautiful ones for $1.99, and I got all my buttons there - both for the plugs above and the brooches below on the left. To make brooches, just snap off the metal loop and glue a flat-backed pin to the back; they sell those especially for brooches, although in a pinch you can glue a safety pin to the back or secure it with some wire matching the color of the button.

The brooches on the right were some of my favorites that I either made (like the moon face) or bought.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my collection!

Got around to darning the holes in my sock heels! Now they're ready to wear in my favourite boots next winter too.

Also tried carving avocado pits! I let it dry for a few days, cut it in half and used a crafting knife to carve a lil bird. Nice and soft to sculpt!
