Spreading kindness, one handmade friend at a time

Handmade joy
that gives back.

I make and donate crochet friends to people who could use a little extra kindness.

Hi, I’m Lindsey

At Bear and Mouse Studio, I make crochet plushies and handmade gifts for people who could use a little comfort.

Past batches have gone to child advocacy centers, women’s shelters, schools and more. Small gives are known to show up wherever I go, too!
