Sharing Our Love of Crochet

We are three sisters and our mom, teaming up to share our love of crochet through handmade projects. Everyone brings their own ideas, creativity, and special touch to each piece we make. From picking out beautiful yarns to adding the finishing details, we work together to create crochet projects we’re excited to share. To us, crochet is more than just a craft—it’s a fun way to connect, create, and bring a little warmth and joy to others.

I live in Utah with my wonderful husband. Together, we have eight children—five girls and three boys—and twelve grandchildren, with two more on the way! I work for a company that makes medical devices. When I have free time, I love fishing, camping, taking nature photos, traveling, and, of course, crocheting. I’ve also loved teaching my daughters how to crochet and sharing a hobby that brings so much creativity and comfort to our family.

I started crocheting as a teenager, when my aunt taught me how. I was determined to learn because not many people around me were doing it, and I thought it looked really fun and cool. Unlike my girls, my favorite things to make are doilies and table runners. Thanks to my girls, though, I’ve been thinking about learning how to make amigurumi too.

Being a mom of eight has been an amazing journey, and I absolutely love being a grandma. I couldn’t have asked for a better life.

One of my favorite things about crocheting is making handmade pieces that can be enjoyed and passed down through the family. Whether I’m working on a delicate doily, a table runner, or trying something new, every project gives me a chance to slow down, get creative, and make something meaningful with my hands.

I live in Utah with my husband, and together we care for our cute little farm. We have a blended family with three children, ages 18, 16, and 14. When they are with us, they often help around the farm. I also volunteer as an EMT for our small community. Since our kids split time between households, I often have extra time on my hands, and crocheting became a wonderful way to keep myself busy.

I first learned to crochet at a young age, making simple scarves and washcloths. Over the years, I picked up and put down my crochet hooks, but everything changed in 2022 when I discovered amigurumi. I fell completely in love with creating cute, plush creations and haven't stopped since.

What began as a relaxing hobby and a way to unwind has grown into a joyful, meaningful part of my life. Since I couldn't keep every creation I made, I began gifting and selling them to family and friends. Seeing the love, joy, comfort, and smiles my creations brought to others—and later to community members at local vendor markets—inspired me to share my work far and wide through Maggpie Maiden.

I live in South Carolina with my husband and our two kids, ages 10 and 2, with two more little ones on the way! Our family is growing quickly, and I’m so thankful to be a stay-at-home mom. I love spending my days caring for my family and making our home feel warm, cozy, and full of love.

Whenever I get a little time to myself, I love to crochet. With lots of encouragement from my mom and sisters—plus a little help from YouTube—I fell in love with it pretty quickly. I’ve had so much fun learning new stitches, trying out projects, and having a creative hobby that’s all my own. I took a short break during our move from Utah to South Carolina and after finding out we’re expecting twins in April, but I’m slowly getting back into it. While my sisters tend to prefer smaller projects, I’m usually drawn to bigger ones like blankets—though I enjoy making the little things too.

Moving to South Carolina has started a whole new chapter for our family, and we’re enjoying getting settled into our new community as we get ready to welcome the twins. We’re excited to make this place feel like home, find new favorite spots, and create routines that work for our growing family. This season is definitely busy, but I’m grateful for all the changes and the chance to fill our days with love, laughter, and sweet memorie.

I live in Washington State with my husband and our three kids, who are 12, 9, and under 1 year old. I work full-time as a machine operator at a local company, so I really love spending my free time with my family. We enjoy fishing, especially out in the ocean, and whenever I get a little time to myself, I love to crochet. I’m also teaching my older kids how to crochet, which has been so much fun.

I started crocheting a couple of years ago with lots of help and encouragement from my mom and sisters. At first, I made up my own patterns, but now I enjoy working from all kinds of beautiful patterns too. I took a little break from crocheting while we moved from Utah to Washington, but once we got settled, I picked up my hook again. It quickly became one of my favorite hobbies.

Crocheting is a great creative outlet for me and a calming way to recharge after busy days. I love trying new patterns, learning different stitches, and making handmade things for family and friends. Whether I’m working on a small gift or practicing a new technique on a simple project, it always feels good to finish something with my own hands.

One of my favorite things about crocheting is getting to share it with my children and make memories together. Teaching my older kids the basics has given us a fun activity to enjoy at home, and I hope they grow to love the creativity and patience that crocheting brings. As I keep learning, I’m excited to make even more special projects for the people I love.

Pattern Credit where it belongs

While every plush and crocheted item is lovingly handmade stitch by stitch by us, we do not take credit for designing the patterns. Each pattern we use is purchased directly from talented, hardworking independent pattern designers in the crochet community. We deeply believe in honoring fellow artists and supporting their creative work!

"The love and detail in these crocheted stuffies is incredible. You can instantly tell every piece is made with care and meant to bring comfort and joy."
