The 2 main modules for all the designs and projects for the Kindness Loom Project
are the Square and the Rectangle:
I have made step by step videos showing how to weave the Square and the Rectangle on
the Kindness Loom.

When I was a little girl, I remember when my parents saw a penny on the ground, they would say:
“Find a Penny, Pick it Up, and on that day, you’ll have good luck!”
Then, they would offer it to someone, saying: “Here’s a Lucky Penny for you! Good Luck!”.
I love making little gifts to brighten the day of someone (friend, family. acquaintance or stranger) and
I decided to make a new little Kindness gift.
It seems to me that right now, everyone we know (and don’t know) all need to feel like some Good Luck will come their way,
so that’s why I have come up with the Lucky Penny Pouches.
I have made this step by step video tutorial to show how to weave and make a Lucky Penny Pouch (for good luck!) using the Kindness Loom that I designed for my ‘Weaving Kindness Project’.
The Lucky Penny Pouches turn ‘lost and found’ pennies into little Good Luck treasures that say to people: You matter! I wish you well! and Good Luck!
The Lucky Penny Pouches are quick and easy and fun to make and to give away. You’ll need the Kindness Loom and to weave one square on it. The video tutorial is available on my youtube channel.

Kindness is important, isn’t it?
When we offer a tiny handmade gift that shows another person that we care about them and that they matter, it is a small act but an essential one.
It’s so lovely to brighten another person’s day by delighting them with a tiny handmade comfort gift.
Amazingly enough, that makes your day so much better, too! What a good way to help to create connection, community and hope.
That is why I have designed a whole bunch of charming little woven ‘Kindness Gifts’ and a small simple, eco friendly pin loom, the Kindness loom, that people can make for themselves using just a few household tools and upcycled materials.
The Kindness looms are perfect for weaving all manner of petite, simple and sweet Kindness gifts that are easy to make. They are a lovely a way to say: “I wish you well”.
The Kindness Pin Loom is all about weaving small tokens of caring, kindness, comfort, wishes for good luck, sweet peace and blessings! From the tiniest flying pigs, Lucky Penny pouches, Comfort Bears, Vasilisa Dolls, Angels, Goddesses to ‘Portrait’ Dolls in homage to family and friends, the Kindness Pin Loom can weave them all, because I am designing them with love and best wishes!
Making things that embody joy and whimsy in small things can add up to great goodness, can’t it? Yup. ❤
As I make the pdf’s for the Kindness projects that I have designed to weave on the Kindness Loom and load them up to my etsy shop, where they will be for sale for a modest fee, I’ll post the links to an all links page LINK And, as I make youtube videos on how to weave on the Kindness Loom as well as some freebie projects, I’ll post those links on the same page, too.

We have a tradition in our family of making little Christmas ornaments for our circle of family and friends.
The Laughing Stars in my book, Crochet Stars (available at all online booksellers) are perfect for ornaments.
You can make other stars from the book to slip in with holiday cards as a sweet little gift when you send cards to friends and family, too….
I wish you joy in the making! ❤
Last week, we went to a baby shower for friends who are soon to be parents.
I was so delighted to see how many handmade gifts were given to this soon to be among us little sweet person!
Quilting, sewing knitting and crochet were all beautifully shared by the extended family. Delightful!
What did we give to the new baby?
Well, since his parents love space and planets, and have decorated the nursery with all many of space and planet images, it seemed like a good idea to me to give Lil Baby a Star Mobile…. yup… from my book: Crochet Stars. With love, of course! ❤
It’s such a joyful moment when a box appears on the porch and it’s my new book!
I was thrilled last week to see Crochet Stars up on the online book sellers, but, to have the book in my hands is pure joy!
Crochet Stars is so dear to my heart- it is a small book – a new format with my wonderful publisher, Stackpole, which feels just so right on so many levels.
Writing this book was a journey of healing on the path of grief. It is full of so much love and is all about finding healing and laughter and hope through the joy of making small but sweet and precious things with our hearts fully infusing our hands as they create gifts of connection and love!
This little Laughing Star is based on a series of delightful dreams that I had over many many years, and it is, in a lot of ways, for me, the ‘Star’ of the book…. but then, I LOVE all the stars that I designed for the book!
Stars are such a powerful metaphor for the light of love, laughter and healing that flows through our lives.
I deliberately designed several very small stars so that people can give them freely and happily as gifts to say to people: Thank you for being here, and I appreciate you and oh my goodness! You matter! ❤
Joni Mitchell had it so right when she sang that we are stardust and we are golden.
I hope that this book, Crochet Stars, will bring golden stardust to life in so many ways! ❤
I love weaving these Small Square ‘Comfort’ Teddy Bears!
They have ‘huggy arms’ that hold onto a thumb or finger so hugs are always near.
To make a Small Square ‘Comfort’ Teddy Bear that is a Panda, weave the body in white and
work the ears, arms and legs in black or any color that you prefer.
Weave them in just one color or with 2 shades to make them ‘tweedie’.
They have lucky pennies and good wishes hearts inside, so they have very good energy.
Because they are so small, they easily fit in your pocket. It’s so good to always have a couple of them with you, because you never know who you will meet that needs a little bit of comfort!
These charming and whimsical Small Square Comfort Teddy Bears fit in an envelope so you can send them to friends who need a little hug.
They are quick and easy to make and are a lovely way to share love, kindness and all good things!

Happy Weaving! and especially to ‘Comfort Weaving!’ ❤
I love designing and weaving little things. And, today, we are releasing the pdf pattern and kits for 3 dear small woven critters-
I love cats, dogs and bunnies, so I couldn’t resist weaving these three friends as part of the Lily Doll project.
The puppy and kitty were based on ‘real life’ critters, but feel free to adapt the colorways to match your own personal favorite pets.
The kit for weaving these 3 wee charmers is available at https://mirrixlooms.com/lily
By the way, on the 15th of each month through 2024, we will be releasing a new kit for a design that I have made for the Lily Doll project. They’re all available at the mirrix website.
We’re planning some other fun things, too. I’ll post about them as they come up.
Hope 2024 is full of good things for you and yours: Blessings and hugs ❤ and happy weaving!
The Pixel People are quirky little woven wonderfuls that I designed for the Lily Doll Project.
They began as doodles on graph paper and were so delightful that I had to weave them right away! They are very small, so they are quick to weave and are great little stash busters. (they’re 1 1/2 inch or 3.75 cm square). I always put a ‘Lucky Penny’ and a paper heart inside to make them even more good natured.
They should probably come with a warning that they are so much fun to weave that it becomes quite addictive to weave them. This is really okay, as people love them so much that the Pixel People jump merrily into other people’s hands and hearts and pockets, too.
There’s more information about the Lily Doll Project at www.tottietalkscrafts.com and the kits and pdf’s are available at https://mirrixlooms.com/lily
Happy happy weaving!
Here’s a link to a little slide show that I made when I was playing with some of the Pixel People that have flown away from the studio:
