From Healing to Handmade: The Story Behind Hey Bails Crochet🌿🍄✨

I'm Bailey, the maker behind the magic! By day, I’m a scientist working in environmental sustainability, but in my free time, I bring cozy, handcrafted creations to life with my crochet hook. Nestled in Castle Rock, Colorado, I draw inspiration from the beauty of the outdoors—lush evergreens, whimsical mushrooms, and all things cottagecore.

I taught myself to crochet during maternity leave as a way to battle postpartum depression, not realizing at the time how life-changing it would be. Psychologists say that creativity engages the opposite part of the brain from anxiety, and I truly felt that shift within me. Stitch by stitch, crochet became my therapy—bringing me calm, purpose, and joy when I needed it most.

What started as a personal journey of healing turned into a passion, and eventually, a business. Hey Bails Crochet is more than just handmade plushies; it’s a reminder that creativity can be transformative, comforting, and even life-changing. I hope each piece I make brings warmth and happiness to others, just as crochet did for me. 💕✨

At Hey Bails Crochet, you'll find carefully crafted amigurumi animals and plushies, each made with love and a touch of woodland charm. As my shop grows, I’ll be adding hats, scarves, and other cozy creations to keep you warm and stylish.

When I'm not crocheting, I love hiking Colorado’s scenic trails, crafting, hanging out at breweries with my husband, and playing with my daughter and our two dogs.

Thank you for stopping by—I hope my creations bring a little bit of magic and whimsy into your life! 🌲🧶💛
