About this Product
Menehune of Hawaii
There are monsters for every state! Prices vary according to the detail of the monster.
This Menehune of Hawaii inspired chibi is 4".
All chibis are spot clean only, made for cuddling and soft play.
The Menehune of Hawaii are described as superb craftspeople. They built temples (heiau), fishponds, roads, canoes, and houses. Some of these structures that Hawaiian folklore attributed to the Menehune still exist. They are said to have lived in Hawaiʻi before settlers arrived from Polynesia many centuries ago. Their favorite food is the maiʻa (banana), and they also like fish. Legend has it that the Menehune will only appear during night hours, in order to build masterpieces. But if they fail to complete their work in the length of the night, they will leave it unoccupied. No one but their children and humans connected to them, are able to see the Menehune.

Meet the Maker
In 2011 my mom bought me a sewing machine. She knew I had been an avid fan of "Project Runway" and thought it'd be fun if I was able to make things with my kids. It started out with Barbie clothes, pj shorts and a few shirts.
Next thing you know I was making plushies for my kids. The requests were for toys they couldn't find in chain stores. Starting with a few unique plushies for my kids turned into friends requesting gifts. As of January of 2015, I had a few family members inspire me to start a shop. Everything I list here is handmade.
I take pride in challenging my skills and love working with others to make custom creations. Although my main focus is with dolls, stuffed toys and chibis, I also sew and sell other items such as bags, totes, baby blankets and many other custom creations that are too many to list here, so I post on TikTok, Instagram and on Facebook as well.
I hope that you enjoy my creations as much as I do making them for you!
