I never really got the appeal of playing with slime, but when my babysitting family started begging me to make slime with them, I figured I had to give it a try.

Ever since I started this blog, my parents have slowly started paying attention to the crocheted things they see around them. When they went to Banff a few months ago, my mother excitedly told me about these dolls she had seen, and she asked me if I could make something similar for her friend. I found a really cute pattern on Ravelry, and decided to give it a try!
