RAFFLE WINNER!! 🎉🧶

Congratulations Marty!! 😂❤️ And a HUGE thank you to both Marty and Katie for donating and supporting my 5K fundraiser! 🥹 You guys are seriously the best.

The funniest part is only TWO people entered the raffle 😂😂 so y’all really had a 50/50 shot and Marty came out on top 🤣

Thank you both again for supporting me and helping me do this for my baby. It seriously means so much to me. ❤️🧩

Marty, now I need to know what plushie you want!! 👀🧶

💙 A little extra fun for my Flutie 5K fundraiser!

Since I’m running the Flutie 5K for Autism next Sunday, I thought I’d add a little incentive for anyone who wants to support me! 🏃🏽‍♀️💙

Anyone who donates will be entered to win **ONE custom Nani’s Toy Box plushie!** 🧶

✨ Up to a $35 value
✨ Approximately 6–8 inches tall
✨ You choose what you’d like!

Just donate through my fundraising link and send me a screenshot/confirmation so I can add your name to the drawing. **Any donation amount counts even $5 helps!** 💙

And listen… Nani’s Toy Box has a pretty small following right now… **FOR NOW 😉😂** so your chances of winning could actually be REALLY good. Take advantage before I’m famous, okay?! 😂🧶

I’ll record myself randomly picking the winner and post it here!

Thank you to everyone who donates, shares, or cheers me on. I’m so excited to do this for Easton, the autism community, and to get back to something I loved before having kids running. 🥹💙🏃🏽‍♀️

A little different from my usual customs… 🖤

Michael Myers is officially finished and ready to head to his new home! I had so much fun making this little guy and bringing all the details together.
Never thought Michael Myers would be this cute, but here we are 😂🧶 Thank you so much for trusting me with your custom! 🤍

Custom orders are OPEN! ✨

If you have an idea you’d love to see brought to life, send me a message! I love creating one-of-a-kind pieces made just for you.

I DID IT! 🥹🎙️💕

Today I had the opportunity to sit down with What’s Up Rochester on Rochester Free Radio 106.3 and talk all about Nani’s Toy Box! 🧶🧸

I was SO nervous going in 😂 but once we started talking about how Nani’s Toy Box began, my family, my custom creations and the heart behind what I do, the nerves started to disappear.

I’m so grateful for opportunities like this and for every single person who has supported my little business along the way. 🥹💕 From buying something at a vendor event, placing a custom order, sharing a post or simply cheering me on, it all means more than you know.

Little ol’ Nani’s Toy Box was on the radio today. 😭🎙️🫶🏽

Thank you to everyone who has supported Nani’s Toy Box along the way. I seriously wouldn’t be doing things like this without you guys. 🫶🏽

Meet another incredible local entrepreneur on What's Up Rochester!

Join us on Saturday, August 8th, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM as we welcome Rosenanishka "Nani" Mewhirter, owner of Nani's Toy Box!

What started as a creative hobby quickly grew into a business filled with handmade crochet plushies, sensory items, fidgets, and unique creations that bring smiles to children and families throughout our community.

Her personal experiences shape many of her designs, making every handmade piece not only adorable but thoughtfully created with love, inclusion, and purpose in mind.

During the show, we'll talk about how Nani turned her passion for crocheting into a successful small business, the inspiration behind her handmade creations, what it's like balancing entrepreneurship with motherhood, and why supporting local makers is so important.

Flashback Friday to my very first custom order 🖤🐈‍⬛

This pretty kitty will always have a special place in my heart. She was a memorial piece, made in memory of a very loved kitty who had passed. 🥹🐾
Being trusted to create something with that much meaning behind it was so special to me. And I think this was the moment I realized just how much I LOVE custom orders, taking someone’s memories and ideas and turning them into something they can hold onto. 🧶🖤
Definitely one I’ll never forget. 🥹

It’s 8am on a Saturday and he’s already cracking open a cold root beer. 😭🐸🍺
No judgment here. It’s been a long week. 😂
Another custom order finished! 💚🧶🫶🏽

🍄 It's been a little quiet over here because life with my three kiddos has been keeping me busy. ❤️
But I'm slowly getting back to crocheting, and I couldn't wait to share these adorable mushroom friends!
Which one is your favorite... the big one or the mini? 👇🍄
