If you’re looking for a fun, quick crochet project that’s both cute and functional, this mushroom pop-it fidget toy  is the perfect make. Today I’m sharing the free crochet pattern  for one of my most popular items—especially at craft fairs! This mushroom pop-it combines amigurumi  with a sensory fidget element, making it great for kids, teens, and adults. It works up fast, uses minimal yarn, and is easy to customize. Why I Love This Crochet Mushroom Pop-It This pattern was d

This craft fair was a big milestone for me—it was my 5th craft fair ever  and my very first one of 2026 ! I was both excited and nervous, especially because I brought along a bunch of new crochet amigurumi projects  that I had never sold at a market before. The event was held at the Eagles Club in Merrill, Wisconsin , and ran from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM . Even though it was a smaller vendor event, it turned out to be such a fun and successful day. Setting Up at the Eagles Club Cr

Sometimes the best crochet projects don’t start with a plan — they start with a simple question. This crochet chicken nugget project began when a coworker approached me at work and casually asked if I could make chicken nuggets . Crochet chicken nuggets, to be exact. I was immediately intrigued. I had seen other makers create little nugget plushies online before, but I had never tried making any myself. Still, I told her yes — or at least that I’d see what I could do . Little

I recently went on a yarn run to Herrschners Yarn Store in Stevens Point , my absolute go-to yarn shop. It’s one of the closest yarn stores to me, which makes it dangerously easy to justify “just one quick stop” 😅. Premier Yarns - High Quality Yarn at Affordable Prices This trip had a purpose though! I received a custom order from someone at my work . They want me to crochet chicken nuggets  for their kids as a Christmas gift. Yes… chicken nuggets 😂. I love fun requests lik

I’m so excited to finally share a project that feels like a huge milestone for me: I crocheted my very first afghan blanket — a 5-point afghan baby blanket  — and it was made with so much love for my new baby nephew . 💙 When I found out I was going to be an aunt again, I decided I wanted to make a baby blanket as a gift. I’ll be honest — I was actually really nervous about this project. I’ve never made a blanket before as a gift, and I usually stick to amigurumi  rather than

As I step into year three  of my crochet business, I’ve been reflecting on how far I’ve come and where I want to go next. Growth has been slow—but it has  been growth. Every craft fair, every sale, every follower, and every new plushie I create is a step forward. And for 2026, I want to be intentional about building on that momentum. This year, I’m laying out clear, meaningful goals to help me grow faster, work smarter, and build the creative business I dream of. Here’s what

My fourth craft fair is officially complete, and even though this event was much smaller and slower than my previous ones, it still turned into a wonderful, memorable day. Every craft fair teaches me something new about my crochet business, and this one was no different — from freezing weather to mini cat sellouts, new vendor friends, and even my first crochet hook sale! A New Venue: Les & Jim’s Lincoln Lanes This was my first time vending at Les & Jim’s Lincoln Lanes in Merr

My third craft fair is officially in the books — and wow, what an unforgettable day! This event was a huge milestone for my crochet plushie business, and I wanted to share the full behind-the-scenes story, from the early morning setup to the sold-out plushies, surprises, lessons learned, and everything in between. A New Venue, Bigger Crowd, Bigger Nerves This was my first time selling at the community center, which was a brand-new venue for me. My previous two craft fairs wer

There’s something so exciting about walking into a yarn shop without a plan. You never know what colors, textures, or ideas might jump off the shelf and spark a whole new creation. That’s exactly what happened to me this week! I’ve been spending a lot of time getting ready for my upcoming November craft fair  — restocking turkeys, planning new gnomes, and bringing back my popular mini chickens. But this time, I wanted to challenge myself and try something completely new. So,
