Success! A futon mattress for out comrade in need has been obtained! Thank you everyone who helped by sending funds. She is getting some of her first truly safe sleep in weeks.

Naturally, I need to share how the fund works. We create crochet critters. Hedgehogs, toadstools, little ghosts. They have beads so they can be used as a fidget. They are located at a few stores around the city as a donation based item. All funds are cycled back to community needs.

I’m currently giving an unhoused, disabled woman a place to stay while we get her situated more permanently. I have local resources for that, but I’d like to try and get a futon mattress for her to sleep on. My fund is currently low.

I’ve used my funds to send $50. Would anyone else be able to help get a community member to their $220 goal do electricity doesn’t get shut off?

Maybe my actual favorite. I love glow in the dark.

When voice search does you dirty. (Or tells the future?)

“The middle acoustic” was the goal.

Sustainable hedgehog! This one is stuffed with leftover fabric scraps instead of fiber fill.

I think I read somewhere that fiber arts create an extreme amount of waste and don’t biodegrade very well so I’m hoping to do more of this.

Some of the hedgies I’ve been working on lately. I had to take a hiatus in April. I’m still shocked with how popular these ended up being and I don’t want to short an organization for a month because there is literally no hedgehogs for people to donate for.

Due to an unfortunate misunderstanding, my rigged up "lightbox" for my pictures got thrown away. HOWEVER, literal trash to the rescue!

May I present lightbox 2.0 using an empty box of kitchen trash bags and matte sticker paper idk why I even have!

It is very much an improvement.

The newest baby. My sister got me a bunch of glow in the dark yarn so they will be glow in the dark for the foreseeable future!

This yarn is GORGEOUS when you look at the raw yarn string. It doesn't quite translate like I hoped, but still an adorable little baby. I'm going to use it some more with some solid monotone colors. Teal, orange, yellow, red. Probably bright green. Yes! 🧶 🤌🏻

Rainbow variegated yarn with rainbow beads. Both of these are the same yarn ball!

Hello Everyone! Mutual aid is important to me. I believe that the best way to help many people is to just give them money.

I make crochet hedgehogs, available for donations, that hang out at a local cafe. All funds collected are being cycled back into the community and individuals who need it.
