Happy, HAPPY New Year!!!!! 🥳

From a year that started off as one of the hardest, I cannot tell you how grateful I am for you and for every bit of light you gave me, whether through a like, a kind comment, letting me know you used my patterns or tutorials, placing an order, or supporting me on Patreon. You kept me moving forward, even during moments when I didn’t know if I could.
I am so beyond grateful for your patience during the times I struggled and disappeared, and for allowing me the space to slowly find my spark again.
These past few months have been AMAZING, and I am so EXCITED for this new year! I love you all so much!!! To a brighter 2026 full of joy and cute plushies! 🫶🏻🥹

rawr in the holiday by crocheting a little gingerbread stegosaurus 🥹 One of my favorite Christmas memories is decorating gingerbread houses with my in-laws during one of my first christmases with them…and this stegosaurus is very much inspired by that. I hope this little Dino brings you just as much joy!

You can find the free pattern on my blog at themaryjay.com 🫶🏼 Or here's the direct link: www.themaryjay.com/free-patterns/gingerbread-stego…

Happy TURKEY MONTH! 🦃 This 2-in-1 turkey pattern comes with how to make two removable fall-themed hats (autumn leaf 🍂 and pumpkin hat 🎃) and two scarves. 🧣

You can get the pattern on Etsy (and it’s on sale this week!) or it’s the included pattern of the month for all three tiers on Patreon in November! 🫶🏻I’ll also be making a tutorial for the turkey (aiming to drop sometime this week) but it will be on just the turkey without the accessories.

ALSO the hats and turkeys match the hats in my 4-in-1 spring duck pattern and the 4-in-1 fruit goose pattern so ALL the hats in all of the patterns can be paired with the goose, duck, or turkey. If you already own one of the other two patterns, you can use the same discount code in the pattern for a 25% off discount on the turkey pattern (or message me on Etsy for the code).

Here's the links :)

The cauldron plushie pattern is FINALLY OUT! This interactive 6-in-1 halloween plushie set comes with how to make a low-sew bat, no-sew toad, no-sew cat, no-sew ghost, no-sew spider, and a cauldron that opens up to hold the mini plushies inside. PLUS it comes with 2 little witch hat designs and a little pumpkin that you can use to further accessorize the plushies. 🥰

Sooooo you can make it as an interactive playset or make the mini plushies separately as quick, gifts or market-friendly makes (I think they’re also the perfect size for keychains!)

I really hope yall love this pattern and I put it on sale on Etsy until Halloween to help you out if you wanted to make some this spooky season! You can also find it on Patreon and it’s the pattern of the month that's included for free for all three Patreon membership tiers in October ☺️ (I might have also put all of my other spooky patterns on sale too heheh just in case you're in a spooky crafty mood, I wanted to help make it more affordable 🥰). ps. based on your votes, the bat tutorial will be coming this weekend too! I ran a little behind, but I'm doing final edits and I'm hoping to be able to have it uploaded by tomorrow for y'all!

Don't forget to check out the adorable sets that my testers made!!!
