Starting a couple of months ago, I started getting special requests: amigurumi honoring their pets! I've discovered I very much enjoyed making those ones, even more than usual! Each one was one of a kind & more than that, they were personal. In some odd way, it became emotional for me, to create these beautiful amigurumi to honor someone's family member. I worked with each customer on the right shading & markings.
If you have a beloved pet that you'd like to immortalize, email me at briannesbasics@ymail.com Each personalized amigurumi comes with a locket as well. Together we can create a one of a kind amigurumi to honor your beloved family member.

Effective September 15, the prices on all of my amigurumi will be going up $3-5. This came out of necessity to advertise & the desire to be able to donate more, among other factors. I'll be posting the exact prices in the coming weeks. If you place your order before September 15, you'll still the current price. Thank you always for your support!
Recently members of The IndiExhibit donated their time and crafts/art for an amazing organization called Enchanted Makeovers. I was very honored to be one of those members!
Founded by Terry Grahl, Enchanted Makeovers is "a movement to transform not only the lives of the women and children who are rebuilding their lives in shelters but also to transform those who participate in the giving."
I crocheted small amulet bag necklaces for the girls to keep trinkets or other small mementos in.
I encourage you to check out both organizations & get involved. Your life becomes infinitely more fulfilling when you donate your time, effort, money, or just you to charity organizations.
This dragonfly is part one of Nora's order. I'm making a darker one too :-) He's about 4.5 inches long & we make a cute addition to your garden, or as a gift for the gardener in your life!
