Stitches and Whimsy Handmade

These monster claws are perfect for flat footed beasties and come in 3 different sizes! I love this little display for them and I would have shown them on a crochet monster too, but to be honest - I feel like I’ve lost my “crojo” lately. I can’t pinpoint any one cause… could be new mom exhaustion, political anxiety, just general anxiety, feeling bummed after getting my hopes up to have my products included in some things that didn’t end up happening, or just an overall feeling of burnout? Who knows! I’ve just been in a slump for a while and it feels so weird to not be crocheting. Have you ever gotten into a creative slump? How did you shake it?

Another one of my favorite, inspirational makers is 💚 They didn’t just make this sweet bebe- the wrote the PATTERN too! Jogi has such a brilliant, artistic mind and I’ve loved getting to follow their work online and get all kinds of new ideas for how to mash patterns or use different pieces of mine to create something totally unique! If you’re kit already following you simply must!
