Hi there! I'm Tara. I work in the high-demanding world of healthcare quality. Ensuring our community receives high-quality care is my passion, but as you can imagine, it can be intense! During the pandemic, I sought out a creative outlet to bring some fun and light into my life, and that's when I discovered the joy of crocheting.
What started as a simple hobby quickly turned into a full-blown passion project, and now, I'm excited to share my handmade crocheted items with you! Each piece is crafted with love and care, bringing a touch of whimsy and warmth from my home to yours.
I'm certainly not alone in this adventure! My chunky tuxedo cat, Gabby, proudly serves as my Quality Assurance Manager. She's always there to make sure that every plushie meets her high standards of snuggly perfection.
Thank you for visiting my site, and I hope my handmade items bring as much joy to your life as they have to mine! Make sure to contact me for any questions you may have.
With love, Tara

FAQ
How long does order processing/shipping take?
Order processing times (the time it takes to pack and ship out your order) typically falls between 3-7 business days. During major shop updates, this can take up to 14 business days to ship.
Most orders from our shop ship via USPS, or in some cases, UPS. Once shipped, orders will take about 5-10 business days.
Please keep in mind that all order fulfillment is handled by two people 😊
Where are you from, and where do you ship to?
I’m based in the SF Bay Area, and only ship within the US.
I live in the SF Bay Area too... Can I pick up my purchase so I don't have to pay for shipping?
Yes, if you are willing to meet in Walnut Creek. Please select the "Pick Up" option at checkout and I will reach out to you to coordinate a mutually convenient time and location.
Are you willing to drop off items at my house instead?
Drop off can only be coordinated if you live in the following cities: Alamo, Clayton, Concord, Danville, Lafayette, Martinez, Pacheco, Pleasant Hill, and Walnut Creek.
If you live outside of the cities listed above and know me personally (e.g. family, friend, coworker, etc.), thank you for supporting me! I would be happy to coordinate drop off at your house or the office!
If you do not live within the cities mentioned above, and you do not know me personally, your order will be cancelled if the "Pick Up" option is selected. This option does not include the necessary shipping costs.
What is your refund policy?
I do not accept refunds. Please read through item descriptions, dimensions, colors, etc. prior to purchasing.
What if my item arrived damaged?
If you have an issue with your order, please reach out through my contact page, and I will do my best to help resolve the problem. If the item is damaged in transit, please take photos of the damaged item and the package it came in. Please reach out to me from the contact page, along with the photos, your full name, order number, and written description of the issue.
What if my order is lost in transit?
If the tracking number shows that the item has not been delivered within 4 weeks of the ship date, please contact me to rectify the issue. Sometimes packages get stuck but will eventually work their way back into the delivery cycle.
Unfortunately, if the package has been marked as “delivered” by the mail carrier, I am unable to provide a refund. In this case, your local post office will be most qualified to help you locate your delivered package.
Do you take custom orders?
Yes, but it depends on the intricacies of the request and my bandwidth at that moment. Please contact me to discuss further as I do my best to accommodate!
How do I take care of my crocheted items?
Spot clean items with a damp rag soaked in cold water mixed with very mild detergent. DO NOT wash plushies in the washing machine as the PolyFill stuffing will clump together, and the item will lose its original shape.
How often do you restock?
I will post upcoming restocks on my Instagram. If you want to purchase something that isn’t in stock, message me and I will do my best to accommodate!
Are your items free of allergens?
All items are made in a cat-friendly home. Please consider this before purchasing!

Anti-Harassment Policy & Right to Refuse Service
Simply put, please be nice!
I have the right to refuse service to any Customer who exhibits harmful, rude, or manipulative behavior to my shop over e-mail or other communication platforms. In this event, any outstanding orders associated with the customer will be cancelled and a ban will be implemented.
