Finally!

It is ALIVE!!

A very nice wedding gift hoop, and while it only took around 5 whole weeks of rethinking my life choices, working with a burned thumb, and hiding needles from the chidren who wanted to help, it turned out very lovely!

Which is good since it's going to a very lovely person.

Lessons were learned and (hopefully) next time (if I ever find the will to) shall be easyer!

Vampire moth by The Magical Bat

[merakisphere]

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.

My Etsy bestseller listing below:

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

Crochet Downloadable Patterns by crochemily

[fantasyfawnart]

These guys are inexpensive, simple, and make lovely gifts so here’s a tutorial on how to make them!

1. Make a pattern piece - any relatively simple shape will do, I modeled mine after beanie baby frogs. Just draw the shape onto a piece of cardboard and cut it out!

2. Cut two pattern pieces from 100% cotton - old tshirts, hoodies or jeans are perfect. I like to make the top and bottom different colors :)

3. With the good sides of the fabric together, use a sewing machine or needle and thread to stitch along the outer edge of your critter. Make sure to leave a small gap so you can turn it right side out - it’s easiest if this is along a flat edge.

4. Turn your critter right side out and add eyes if desired - I use safety eyes, but you can also paint, draw, or embroider them on, along with any other decorations you’d like!

5. Add your filling - I use feed corn, but dry rice or beans will work too. For the frogs, I massage the corn into the legs and then use a line of stitching to keep all the filling from migrating into the center of the body.

6. Add the rest of your filling and hand-stitch the gap closed with needle and thread.

7. Done! Microwave your critter for 30 seconds at a time until perfectly cozy.
