Hand to Hand Crochet

After dealing with some long-lasting, and sometimes debilitating, effects of COVID and the vaccine these past few years, I’m still not quite back to 100%—but little by little, I’m getting my life back! For a while, crocheting and listening to audiobooks were pretty much all I could manage.
I’ve always loved volunteering (I really miss my docent days at Zoo Miami), so I’m happy to have recently started volunteering at The Pipsqueakery, an animal rescue and sanctuary here in Bloomington. Who knew cleaning rabbit p**p could be so rewarding? 😅😂🐰
I’ve decided to step back from the commercial side of crochet for now, and instead, I’m pouring that creative crochet energy into making little critters as gifts for the incredible staff and volunteers at The Pipsqueakery.
Here are a few of them...

When Spring collides with Joann's going out of business sale!
Help! I may need an intervention!!

Mr. and Mrs. Mallard visit every Spring.
I was inspired to make a Mr. Mallard hand puppet in honor of their return. 🦆💕🦆

It's a litter of Cats in Sweaters. 😺
They are so much fun to make!

Hi, I’m Some Bunny—come play with me!
I can be anything you dream to be!
I hop, I laugh, I love to sing,
I can tell your stories—everything!
Make me happy, make me sad,
Make me wiggle, wild, or glad!
I'm Some Bunny, and you're somebunny special, too!
Together, we’ll have fun—just me and you!
