Strange Things By Joyce

Strange Things By Joyce Whimsical, weird, and one-of-a-kind! I create handmade crochet and handsewn oddities full of charm and character.

Explore my Etsy shop for fun, spooky, and strange treasures! 🧵🧶✨ Welcome to Strange Things By Joyce! 💀🧵🧶

I'm Joyce, and I’ve always had a deep love for creating things with my hands. Crocheting and sewing aren't just hobbies for me—they're a lifelong passion and a form of self-expression. Every stitch and seam is filled with heart, imagination, and a love for the strange, whimsical, and one-of-a-

kind. In my world, the weird is wonderful—and that’s exactly what you’ll find in my shop. I make unique handmade creations that blend spooky, sweet, cute, creepy, and quirky vibes all in one. My Etsy shop is home to an ever-changing cast of characters, including:

🧶 Crochet Inner Beasts – textured, multicolored creatures that reflect the moods, feelings, or personalities of their owners
🪡 Handsewn rag dolls – from cute to creepy, magical witches to patchwork monsters, each doll is full of personality
🐱 Crochet horror kitties – inspired by iconic horror characters, made with love (and a little mischief)
🕸 Wicked Wildlings – voodoo-style animal dolls with stitched charm and wild personality
🎩 Monster and creature hats – fun, funky, and perfect for turning heads at festivals or Halloween
🎃 Seasonal and fantasy-themed dolls – witches, ghosts, pumpkins, and beyond! Many of my creations have names, backstories, and little details that make them feel truly alive. Whether it’s a button-eyed creature, a rag doll with a spooky twist, or a monster hat full of flair, everything is handmade with joy, care, and a love for the unusual. I believe in the magic of handmade art—and I hope my work brings a smile, a laugh, or even a little shiver of delight. Come explore my world of strange things, and maybe find a little monster that speaks to your soul. 🖤

The Legend of Trixie Heartstring 💖🎩
​Trixie Heartstring stands a proud 13 inches tall, but her personality is much bigger than that. She’s the kind of soul who believes you can never be too dressed up, which is exactly why she woke up today and decided both felt party hats were absolutely necessary. 🥳
​She’s a creature of beautiful contradictions. Her textured, acrylic-painted fabric body tells the story of an artist’s canvas, while her favorite patchwork outfit—fastened tight with a tidy row of blue buttons—gives her the charm of a cozy, old-soul storyteller. With her wild orange yarn hair and mismatched button eyes, she sees the world a little differently than the rest of us.
​Trixie is a quiet observer who loves a good celebration, a bit of harmless mischief, and anyone who appreciates the beauty of being perfectly imperfect. She literally wears her heart right on her stitched smile, just waiting for the right person to pull up a chair and share a secret or two. 🤫✨
​Is your shelf ready for a little bit of festive magic? Trixie is officially looking for her forever home. 🏠

Meet Trixie Heartstring! 💖🎩
​She’s 13 inches of beautiful contradictions, festive magic, and harmless mischief.
​Trixie believes you can never be too dressed up, which is why she’s rocking two felt party hats, a custom patchwork outfit, and her signature wild orange hair. Her textured, acrylic-painted body gives her a cozy, storyteller vibe—and she literally wears her heart right on her stitched smile. 🧵🎨
​She’s looking for a shelf to call home and a secret or two to share. 🏠✨

Meet Beulah! 🧵🖤
​I love working on the Inner Beast designs because the styling possibilities are endless. For Beulah, the mix of pastels, dark accents, and distinct textures really brought her unique little soul to life. She wasn't made to be perfectly neat—she was made to have character.

Meet Beulah, the Inner Beast. 👹🧵✨
​Some days you just feel a little beautifully chaotic—and Beulah is here to represent that. I absolutely love how all the different textures, the mismatched eyes, and the exposed yarn tails came together on this one. She’s got so much personality packed into one little monster!
​Drop a 👹 if Beulah matches your vibe today!

Years ago at a Renaissance festival, I bought a pair of black-and-white striped knee-high socks for my granddaughter. Fast forward to recently, and I happened to stumble across one lonely survivor from that pair.
​Today, that leftover sock got a second life! Meet Renny. 🖤🤍
​He’s a hand-stitched sock monster complete with mismatched button eyes, a pink ribbon tie, and a lot of personality. My granddaughter is 16 now, and Renny is heading home to her tomorrow. I love being able to turn a little piece of childhood nostalgia into a brand-new, quirky keepsake!
