About Me

I’ve been sewing since my mom taught me as a pre-teen, but I really fell back in love with it during COVID - starting with quilts. After making way too many quilts for one household, I wanted something smaller (but still fun), so I tried sewing a plushie. My very first one was a giraffe and even though it was very ugly, had one ear backwards, and couldn't stand up, I was amazed by the magic of turning flat fabric into something 3D that could sit on my desk and be carried around.

A few months later, I had about ten giraffes piled up on our living room couch, and my then-boyfriend (now husband) asked, “So what are you going to do with all of this?” And with a lot of encouragement, he’s the one who encouraged me to start a shop, and here we are.

My favorite moment in the process is always the end - seeing the finished plush, especially next to all its siblings. Maybe it's the inner-goblin but I love seeing a plushie pile. Some patterns take under an hour, some take over ten, but each one goes through my little production pipeline: picking which fabrics to use in my bedroom closet, tracing and cutting them in my kitchen upstairs, sewing in my office downstairs, and doing embroidery on my bathroom floor because it’s the only place I can shut the door and keep the cats out.

Speaking of cats… yes, they “help.” They inspect all incoming fabric to ensure it can survive some biscuits and love supervising the needle as it moves, hence why the embroidery machine is only used behind closes doors.

Ultimately with my shop I want people to feel a little spark of joy when they open their package, and maybe a bit of cuteness aggression. Each plush is handmade, a little bit quirky, and made with a whole lot of heart.
