✨ Hello everyone! ✨

It’s been a while, hasn’t it?

You may be wondering why things have been quiet here, and why you haven’t seen us at as many events this year. While we don’t often use this page for personal updates, we feel our supporters deserve a little context.

At the beginning of the year, life brought a lot of big changes — new jobs, new schedules, and new adventures. We’re grateful for all of it, but it has meant stepping back from social media and from some of the markets we’ve attended in the past.

We’re still here, though, and still creating. 💜
And we have so many exciting things coming your way: new products, new website updates, and new adventures just for you.

Thank you for your continued support and patience. Stay tuned — the best is absolutely on the way.

💰 One of the most common questions crochet artists get is, “Why does handmade cost what it does?”

If you’ve ever wondered about it — even just a little — we just published a brand‑new blog post that gives a real, heartfelt answer from an actual crocheter!

No guilt. No lectures. Just an honest look behind the scenes of what goes into every stitch.

✨ Come take a peek →https://tinyurl.com/muzk8xxw

And while you’re there — we’ll be sharing a new blog post every Friday, so stay tuned.

🎉Plus, our full 2026 market schedule drops this Sunday, 2/8!

💖 Last Call for Valentine Orders! 💖

Today is the FINAL day to order your Pocket Hug Valentines or Valentine Bundles to guarantee delivery in time for Valentine’s Day!

For my Burke County, NC friends:
📌 Saturday, Feb 7th is the last day to fill out the local pickup form for pickup on Feb 11th. (Link in the comments!)

Once the form closes, Pocket Hugs will no longer be available online or for preorder — so if you’ve been thinking about grabbing some, now’s the moment.

And because February is full of excitement…
✨ Our 2026 Event Schedule drops this Saturday!
✨ We’ll also be sharing sneak peeks of what’s coming this year
✨ Plus a brand‑new update on our blog over on the new website (Also linked in the comments!)

Lots of magic on the way — thank you for supporting handmade and helping spread tiny hugs everywhere this Valentine’s season. 💟💘

🎆Happy New Year from our little shop! 🎆

As we wrap up this year, we just want to say a huge, heartfelt thank you. Whether you bought from us, shared our work, stopped by our booth, or cheered us on from afar — you’ve made this year something truly special. And to every event that welcomed us, thank you for giving our creations a home in your community.

Looking back at everything — winter coziness, summer silliness, fall markets, new patterns, and our “supervisor” keeping us in line — it’s been a year full of joy, growth, and a whole lot of yarn.

We hope your holidays have been warm, restful, and full of good moments. As we head into the new year, we’re already buzzing with ideas and excitement for what’s coming next.

Here’s what we’re cooking up for 2026:
🐉 New products — including a magical project we cannot wait to share… let’s just say Dragon Keepers will be very happy.
🎪 New events — including our first-ever Comic Con appearance (details coming soon!).
🧶 New crochet patterns — so fellow makers can bring some of our favorites to life at home.

Thank you for helping our tiny shop grow, dream, and create. We truly couldn’t do any of this without you. Here’s to another wonderful year together.

✨ Happy New Year from all of us! ✨
