5 out of 5 starsHad a custom elephant made for little hands and it turned out awesome! These little characters are becoming my favorite gift to give to the new babies in my life! Again, great quality; couldn't be happier!

5 out of 5 starsPerfect for my new nephew!! What do you get a 3 month old for Christmas?? Why, a stuffed Dinosaur and matching PJs, of course! I didn't want to get a new baby some random toy never use, so when I saw this dinosaur friend, I knew I had to get it. The style and quality are hard to match. I paired this with a set of pajamas that happened to have dinosaurs and Christmas trees on it. Hoping as he gets older, this will be his "teddy bear" that he carries everywhere! Thank you for great product! Will be back for more!

5 out of 5 starsVery pleased! The crochet car is just as cute as can be, appears well made and well priced. The added bonus? I bought this to become my son's "night-night car" in lieu of the harder matchbox cars he currently favors. He started playing with it (like it was a matchbox car, of course), and went to sleep with it under his arm. Couldn't be more pleased, both as a customer and mom. Definitely would recommend.

My sweet baby #3 snuggling with a cotton sock monkey plush toy. Not much is better than a cuddly baby.
The day I was blessed with my second child, Crochet A Smile began!
I have always loved crochet. As I grew up, my grandmother would crochet and tell me stories about how she first fell in love with crocheting. When I went to college, I decided to teach myself to crochet. I picked up a book, a hook, and some yarn - and that was it - I loved it! I began by making large afghans, intricate doily's, and ornaments.
Then life began to get busier. I began working and so my projects got smaller. I started making scarves + hats. Then I was blessed with my first child - a boy. He was perfect in every way and I treasured the handmade hats I received for him.
Two years later, I had my daughter. She was beautiful and cuddly...and a little busy! She would tear apart her toys + I would worry that she would choke on the buttons and beads. So I decided to make her own toys! Shortly after, my niece was born and I made her toys too.
Friends saw my creations and urged me to open an Etsy store. One September day, I did. I have loved every moment of it. I love getting to know my customers and being able to send my handmade, love filled items to people all over the world. I love being able to see pictures of my customers (and their children) cuddling up with one of my stuffed animals or staying warm in one of my hats. I feel so blessed that people choose to purchase a cocoon or other prop for their newborn pictures - these precious memories that I get to be a part of.
I believe that fiber art + handmade creations are special; they are love filled + personal gifts. I feel honored to be able to make crochet items for people around the world. I treasure the friendships I have made + am blessed to be a part of so many stories.
