Have you ever been blessed by a stranger who just likes to spread happiness? Meet Peggy Hruska—grandma, educator, and crafting wizard. In a world that can sometimes be a bit of a mess, Peggy finds joy in performing random acts of kindness, bringing smiles and story adventures to kids she’s never even met with her handmade crocheted octopus finger puppets.

Peggy's Pocket Octupi
“I stumbled upon a post on Facebook from Random Acts of Crochet Kindness. People were making these cute crocheted items like bookmarks, worry worms, and octopi, and leaving them around for others to find,” Peggy recalls. Each little treasure comes with a tag telling the finder they can keep it and inviting them to share their discovery on the Facebook page.
