Lots of NEW!!!
There are lots of new happenings in my life this year. I got married in March, I am having a baby girl in June and I have designed 2 new patterns for you guys to enjoy!
And then there's...
Both projects are for my little Lulu May who is due in early June! So be expecting an influx of baby related patterns in the near future...
First in the lineup...(above) is Lulu's Lucky Love Dragon! After I properly photograph her and write up the pattern, it'll be up in the shop. This is a big snuggly doll, hovering around 14-15" tall!
Second is (above) her Baby Blanket! It's rainbow, it's ripples, it's soft and snuggly! <3 it! I almost want to keep it for myself!!! This one will be available for free as soo as it's done...which I am hoping will be sometime this weekend or early next week!
Keep an eye out!
Also, update your links and feeds...if you noticed, the url of this blog is new. I got hitched and my name, it is a-changin'!

A new doll is in the works...This one is being made especially for my baby Lulu (due in June) as she's making her debut soon!
Truth be told, I've been working on it for awhile, hitting some creative blocks along the way, but I am taking hook to yarn again to finish this beauty up...and this is my way of motivating myself to get it done.
Roxycraft is back at work. I am working on a new Ami, a Koala for Jack. He's finally gotten to an age where he realizes that his Mama makes "TOYS"!!! Now I am inundated with requests.
I have finally taken yarn to hook to get started...but here is the rough sketch (at least part)
And the newest member of Team Roxycraft is my boyfriend Tim! He's making an animated short featuring Big Blue and the Yeti called "Conversations". I did the voices! He's awesome.
When it's finished, trust, I will post it! I'm so excited to see how it turns out!
While you wait for all the newness, why not make a "Cute"?
