I love making special toys for the kids that come into my life. I especially have loved making some custom toys for nieces and nephews that reflect their own interests and personalities. Never be afraid to alter a pattern to really give it some personal touches for the ones you are making it for.

Here are Funshine Bear, Pony-Heart Bear, and Heartsong Bear all hanging out on the couch together. These were made when my nephews and niece were pretty young. Pony-Heart Bear was made for my niece who has been riding horses with her mother since before she was born. Tehya has a special bond with horses and ponies, and I knew she would love the pony on her bear. Lance is a little older than his brother and sister, but he has always loved music and I wanted him to know that I knew he has music in his heart and soul. His bear has a guitar with notes bursting out of it.
These are tackle rolls that I made for my nephews to put their
fish hooks in. They are done in Tunisian crochet and have a
false suede lining so that the hooks don't poke through. They
roll up and can be put in the pocket.
This is a Pony-Purse I made for Tehya as well. Just stuff the handles down inside and she's a toy.
