“The noise opened up again, as though Satan and a regiment of imps were coming forth for battle,” wrote a reporter for the Des Moines Daily News after the area’s resident man-shaped bat escaped into a mine shaft. Thankfully, the Van Meter Monster (and his imps) must have just been leaving, as they’ve not been spotted since.
The Van Meter Monster has been described by a handful of citizens as a human-shaped beast with giant bat wings. It’s said that on the monster’s head was a horn that glowed like a searchlight.

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!
