In "the bakery" for week ending June 6 are these scrumptious Hazelnut Mocha Sweet Buns. Made from scratch and topped with pearl sugar, these soft buns deliver a variety of complementary flavors.

There's a new Buddy in Town
My goals for 2026 include a commitment to publish one new Pocket Buddies pattern each month. So, for January I'm pleased to introduce you to the newest Buddy - Raccoon. He's much more detailed than the version in the original pattern and even includes a big fluffy tail - WHICH CAN ALSO BE USED ON THE FOX AND WOLF. How great is that! Raccoon is in the shop now and ready to download.
