Hello! Welcome to Hope's Handmade. Hope's Handmade is a place created by a girl, who is just doing what she loves, to share and find new homes for her creations! My mom taught me to crochet when I was just 16. I played around with trying to make blankets however I just did not have the patience! Several years went by and I decided to pick it back up one more time; at the time I was working overnights as a home health aide. I needed something to keep me busy while they were sleeping! I discovered I still really didn't have the patience. Then one day i found Amigurumi animals and it renewed my interest! I loved that they didn't take as long to finish and made everyone who saw them smile! Now I make them to help with my panic disorder and as my health has changed, I now want to sell them to as many people as I can; I want to make the world smile!
