Truly such cute earrings, I bought 1 set of forks and 1 set of spoons and put a fork and spoon in each ear. They're so light and perfectly sized.

I adopted the tuxedo kitten, because I have a tuxie cat. He's cute and made very well. I am so glad I bought him! If anyone's curious my cat's name is Loki

Whimsical Crochet Plushies

From Coping with Mental Illness to Exploring Creativity

I learned how to make friendship bracelets the way most kids do; in summer camp as a pre-teen. In 2017, I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression and was left with my constantly fidgeting hands and compulsive motions. I rediscovered friendship bracelets and found that the repetitive act of knotting helped my hands to transform their destructive energy to constructive. Plus, making bracelets helped to take my mind off of my worries by forcing me to think about which knot was coming next. Although I have recovered from these illnesses, I still enjoy making bracelets as a hobby and passion. I started a YouTube channel (search for Alex's Innovations) in 2018 showcasing how I make some of these bracelets, and I make videos speaking out about my struggles and normalizing mental illness. I recently discovered other products to add to my shop, like earrings, crocheted plushies, and stickers, which is why I call my shop Alex's Innovations; there is no limit to what we can create. ☆
