Hi, everybody! I am Alexa. I learned to crochet about twenty years ago when my grandma taught me. The first thing I made was a table napkin. I started to make toys about 9 years ago when my daughter was born. I am a lover of not only cute toys, I love zombies and aliens as well but who doesn’t love Unicorns? I hope you will enjoy creating your own Rainbow Unicorn. Hope it will bring some happiness and cuteness into your life.
