Handmade Stuffed Animals By Ruthida Kajumba

I started crocheting when I was 6 years old – using safety pins as my crochet hook! . I was taught by a House Help. We crocheted loofah sponges using strands we separated from nylon ropes. From there I started knitting with bicycle spokes I picked from bicycle repairers. . I made a mat big enough for just one person . I weaved baskets. I made banana fibre dolls…all this before I was 10 years old. Crafts classes in my lower primary helped too. In ‘O’ level I enjoyed my needlework classes. I knitted, I crocheted, I embroidered. In Senior 4 vacation I knitted and crocheted tops and a skirt ( I still have them).

However, once I went to university, all this skill and talent was forgotten about.

Currently as Authentic Success – Coach, Speaker and Author (Book in final stages), I recently kept having this nagging feeling like I was wasting the talent that God placed in my hands but I couldn’t pinpoint what exactly I would love do. I run to my Papa God, and asked Him to guide me. One morning, the answer was Crocheting. I was soooo thrilled!! A spark lit in me. Crocheting had been the last thing on my mind, but at that moment I remembered the crocheting of my childhood. The next day I went to look for supplies and started navigating my journey to what specifically would give me joy to create – and here we are with STUFFED ANIMALS! 

There’s an unspeakable joy I feel making them, and I hope that everyone that ever owns any of my stuffed animals feels as special as I feel making them. 🙂

A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO MY SON – MY NUMBER 1 FAN and VERY FIRST CUSTOMER! The very first day I made stuffed animals he was so CAP-TI-VA-TED! He bought one using some of his piggy bank money . I saw it as a blessing and a ‘sign’ from above

My mission with my stuffed animals is to spread joy to children and to adults who are still young at heart.

Perfect gift for a loved one or yourself. For special occasions – Birthdays, Christmas, Baby showers, etc.
