My Crochet Creative Journey
Peek into the world behind my stitches. From late-night K-drama marathons to the lessons I learned at my first market stall, this is where I share the real story of my handmade plushies.
I had such an amazing time at my second market. This video shows my outdoor setup, some of the plushies I sold, and one of my cute customers. It was a great experience and I hit my sales target.
People ask why I watch so many K-Dramas, and this is why. It's the only way I can get through my long list of works in progress, especially when making lots of tiny bees.
I was so excited for my third market, but it ended up being a flop. It’s okay though, because I learned that you can't value success without failure. I still love crocheting just as much.
This is a little glimpse of my first ever market. I was so happy to see my plushies find new homes and hope they bring a warm, comfy hug to their new families.
Here is all the inventory I managed to make in just 10 days for my first market. It includes baby whales, honeybees, a penguin, and even a big Spiderman pillow.

About My Creative Journey
I balance my full-time 9-5 job with my crochet passion, which means every piece is crafted on weekends or late evenings with extra care. Because I’m a one-person team, large custom orders usually take about two to three weeks to complete, so please reach out early if you have a specific date in mind.
Behind the Yarn
Crocheting started as my therapy to unwind after a long day at the office. My process isn't perfect—most of my projects are completed with a K-Drama playing in the background while I work through my pile of 'works in progress.' Whether I am stitching a tiny bee keychain or a large statement pillow, the focus is always on using the softest velvet chenille yarn to make sure every plushie feels like a genuine hug.
The Reality of Markets
I’ve learned that putting yourself out there is a wild ride. My market experience in Gurugram has been a mix of highs and lows. I’ve had stalls that were busy and fun, and I’ve had days where the footfall just wasn't there. That 'flop' market was a tough lesson, but it taught me that I don't create for the metrics—I create because I love the process. If you follow my journey, you’ll see that I am constantly learning, trying new patterns, and adding little details like blush cheeks to bring my characters to life.
Ordering Your Custom Piece
Everything you see here is handmade in India. Since I manage everything myself, I love collaborating with you on custom requests. Whether you want a specific color palette for a turtle plushie or a custom animal that isn't in my usual lineup, just let me know. I prefer sticking to pastel themes, but I am always down to experiment with your wildest ideas.
