I never knew nursery pillows were a thing, but that looks super useful and easy to make. 10:30 Aaawww that is so sweet. 12:50 I saved a bunch of free patterns to make plushies to learn how I can make my own, but I told myself to only start that AFTER Dragonair is done.... but i still got the yarn. Aawwww Morty is good doggo. For the tails, I have absurdly long tails for knitting, not as bad for crocheting. But, I weave it back in soooo much. 23:50 Nearly every project has an ugly phase. Dragonair- The new hoop I got was still slipping, so I got grip tape at walgreens and wrapped it around. Now it's a lot better. I've barely started on it and am mostly going in and making embroidery have better coverage before doing the rest. I think I have settled on a design for the stained glass blanket. We'll see, that may change. The super cursed project, the main elements are done. Next is making the boxes it will sit in and be shipped in. I remembered ebay and goodwill online exist. Since the in person embroidery machines fell through, I checked there. I set my standard to CD era or newer. If it was floppy disk or coding punch card eras, I don't want to mess with it. So I found 1 that is still currently being sold for $1,000, on ebay for $500. While watching this, the bid finished and I got it. I also got some embroidery thread on there for about $0.29 each versus the $0.55 - $0.60 each that I was finding on amazon. Also, amazon currently has the silhouette cameo 4 (a cricut competitor) for like $150. I'm tempted.. but maybe not right after getting an embroidery machine and with the desk still not built.

Thank god you realized he was cute! Was abt to have to unsubscribe in solidarity (with him)

I love this kind of content it's a vibeeee

Definition of trust the process 🫶🏼 he turned out so cute, but I too was losing hope halfway through 😅

I’m your 554 sub! I littlerally love ur channel already ♥️

It would be fun to have a live craft session so all of us weirdos could craft, chat and make friends 😊

1. The grey turtle behind you- that’s my spirit animal hahah 2. I can’t wait for SPOOKY SEASON and all the crafts 3. I’m so glad that you didn’t abandon this project because this swamp creature baby came out soo good, he has ✨ATTITUDE✨ haha 4. I would love to see more vintage and cursed projects 💖💖

The process. The head scritches. The powering through. The redemption. Good stuff 😅

I love him❤❤❤ the variegated dark green with the bright green and the red make a good color combo!!! Im also happy that i found another person on the internet who loves monsters from old classic films😂❤

Ugly crafting mode is how I went for 6 weeks this year when I crocheted a 6 foot round blanket. Looks amazing but 6 weeks of red heart was murder on the hands

hes justa little guy!! hes giving pond skimmer

I love him so much

I love him! You did a fantastic job!

🤔I like the idea of chaos crochet. Just imagine a stuffed ball with chaos crochet and massive black dots for eyes 😂. One day, I'd love to go from raw either cotton or silk cocoons, create thread, weave it, then create something with the fabric. Oooo the scarlet mccaw. I love the drastic values in it 👀. 9:36 I wonder how that would look with the first mohars maybe felt punched into it? Modern day Arcade/ Bowling Alley floor 😂. 12:50 Personally, I have found knitting to be easier with atypical yarn versus crochet. With crochet, I can't find the loops and it ends up looking weird. That may be why it's more common in knitting than crochet? I'd love to see what chaos you create with it for crocheting ^^. 14:55 I know socks but that's boring. The darn good yarn sub does sound like a good idea 🤔. Maybe after I pair down my project list... Dragonair- I managed to put sequins on the other eye. That was a pain because I used super glue to keep the ends in place. Bad idea for while you're working on it. Had to use a combo of my pliars and my bees wax to get it through. I also solidified which iris technique I'm doing. Next is just doing the black area of the 2nd eye now. Other crafts- This weekend, I got a yarn caker for like $17 on amazon and caked **all** of my yarn. Iiii alsoo maaaay have caved for the 50%+ off yarn sale at Joanns and ordered all the yarn for the stained glass blanket. Do I have a design? Nope. I do know I want it bilaterally symmetrical since I want to create a weighted blanket and it will be a giant scene, no symmetry at all. Note- If you use or cake a hank of yarn, at LEAST wrap it around some dining chair legs. I had a hank that was about half way caked and turned into a MASSIVE knot. Took 3.5 hours and 3 cuts to fully undo. 6:45 Yeah, I was sneezing all weekend from the lint 😂. Oh, if you get one, don't use your wrist. Keep your wrist straight and use your elbow and shoulder. Otherwise, it will hurt very quickly I also may have hopped on fb marketplace and found someone selling an embroidery machine for about $360. Considering they usually go for about $2,000... yeah. I'm picking up later today. Bad timing though because I have to do a fresh windows install cause I've been having weird issues with discord and fusion. Nothing's helping. So I need to backup all my data. I needed to get some new ssds because I didn't have enough space on my current backup for that OH, I picked up the tops for my desk 👀. Basically, this desk has become a meme in my friend group because I've been working on it for about 2-3 years now. I don't think it will be finished this month, but there is progress being made. Next purchases would be the leveling feet, which is weirdly expensive and probably some odds and ends. soon. soon.

If you're in a city, I suggest checking if there's a fabric recycle location. My local will give you 5lb of new yarn in the form of never bought sweaters and hats for $5. It makes patchwork quilts almost as much about frogging the machine knit as making the new work.

i loveee fullmohairalchemist too! their work really inspires me :)

Great yarns!!! So pretty!

Mohair and lace weight yarns knit (or crocheted) on large diameter needles (or hooks) look really cool (they look underwhelming until you block them). I love the garment examples you show - these yarns will be so perfect. Keep in mind that crochet uses a LOT more yarn than knitting so buying boutique yarns is very, very expensive,

Can’t wait for all the cool things you will do with all this beautiful yarn❣️

She looks amazing!

Omg imagine if you found a little pipe to tuck into the pocket 😭❤️

I bet the lumpy bit is because that moon was probably stuffed to be 3D like and "puffy" and over time with all the washing etc it just started clumping up together!

I've just stumbled across your channel and I have to say, you are such a personable and fun person to watch! Your projects are so weird and wonderful, I love them!! I can't wait to watch all your videos hehehe <3

Aaawwwww I love that quilt. Also, where did you get the macaroon tape measure? I have a cloud one but the end keeps breaking off to where now I think nearly 1cm is gone. Do you have a dehumidifier? That might help inside feel more tolerable. 12:00 Oohhh so that's why quilts have that overstitching. Apparently that batting bunching is what happens when you don't do that XD. I looove how it turned out. 🤔 What if it's paired with high waisted, yellow pants with more instruments and clouds. 15:35 Hook and bar or hook and eye. The bar is for overlapping, the eye is to butt together. Dragonair- I finally got part 1 of 4 done with the eyes :D. (As of watching this video, but it's still finished.) So the black area is completely done on 1 eye. Next is not doing the black area of the other eye. Instead, I'm testing out different ways to do the iris aspect. I got the tester set up for tomorrow/ likely during my next meeting. Also, I'm trying so hard to not buy material to make a giant motif quilt, like a scene. Maybe kinda stained glass style inspired? But also just full on a 2nd quilt that's crocheted to look like stained glass. I did get the material to mend the existing quilt when joanns had their 10 for $10 fabric quarters. I want to actually finish some of the longer projects this year and not add to it... too much. Also found a video on tambour embroidery.... so tempting. But, this month I'm thinking of FINALLY buying the tops for my desk. Will have to make sure the garage is ready first though. I played a game this past week called Bugsnax. Might be too cutesy for your style, but now I want to create some of the creatures from it XD. I found an orange peel bug on ravelry and that's how I figured out the game existed. You might like it.

This is soo cute🥹🥰 these elf babies now live in my head rent free 🧚‍♀️

I'm not sure how I've never heard of postcrossing before, but that is so cute and wholesome and 100% a side of humanity that is refreshing to witness. also your projects are coming out amazingly! i am impressed with your talent & attitude about just going for it.

I vote for a blue ribbon closure.

I hope you took good pictures of the quilt beforehand! Would be cute as a picture to put on the wall and then your matching vest!

Ah this turned out adorable!! Love.

Ive always wanted to make a quilt jacket but I was worried i wouldn’t be able to make the sleeves, a vest sounds so perfect!!

I vote for vintage diaper pins for the closure!

I have a thrifted baby quilt I’ve been hanging on to make a vest also… the fear of cutting into it is real!! You did a fantastic job!

9:18 🙌 Girl, same. I’ve never felt more seen. 😂

I don’t think you are supposed to show it. I know you can’t take photo and email a friend. But it might be different with vintage patterns.

I like long videos too ❤ This was a fun video, thank for sharing.

I’ve Fallen in love with the doll face pillows❤and lounge lizard! Oh hell, I love all your projects who am I kidding?

Why service a sewing machine when you can just hit it until it works :). 10:45 Ok, now you have to do that. Ruffle (flounce?) collar and ruffles hiding your hands. Maybe go all out and add spheres for the clown look XD. 11:35 Agreed. My joanns is enough of a drive where I try not to go daily, but I don't dread it. I do like to grab a treat while out on that side of town anyway though. Ooooo, there is a peach stand out that way I haven't been to in a year 🤔. 13:50 I have tried cold brew and didn't care for it. Although, I can't taste bitter so I'm a bit pickier with the quality of coffee XD. My standard is dark roasted beans, black, in a normal coffee brewer because I'm not a morning person, I'm not doing a 20 step thing XD... 14:05 Speaking of intrusive thoughts... that would be a great thing to put above a doorframe and the fingers are below the frame. It also keeps it out of the way :). I do love how it turned out. The ruffle was absolutely worth it. Dragonair- I didn't touch it at all this week BECAUSE of the next thing. I was sooo close to finishing my travel toiletries bag that I wanted to actually finish that. I made all of the pockets for the different things. I managed to actually finish it AND won yarn chicken. It took 4 skeins of the scrubbing yarn, 2 from lilly and sugar and 2 from red heart. 1 skein was just for the pockets. I also had some thick twill muslin that I used fabric paint to paint the list of things I need to bring every time. I painted that out (it was a puffy paint bottle but I cut the hole too big, so it was brushed/ stippled on), added 2 buttons with long thread shanks to go through the yarn so I could attach it, and it's actually finished. Now I can put away the material... which I still haven't done.

OMGATO!!! Thank you so much for making a video of my hand pattern. This is BEYOND EPIC. Yours is so vampy. I love it. The first hand pillow I made was a green one with red nails and it is so witchy!

i dont have room on my couch but i Need to make a giant hand. reminds me of those hand chairs youd find in childrens libaries

✨Classic vampirish vibez✨ love it!

I feel like a Trixie inspired project has to be on the horizon right?! 👀

clearance fabrics for the win!

The TV static/stony looking fabric works really well as vampire skin. It came out really cool!

Tip: you can buy a box of 100 of those sewing clips from Wawak for under $10!!

maddies goot wuurmmss

"Realize the scale of what you're doing" XD great step

You complete projects so quickly ^^. Oooo the Halloween aftermath pumpkin yarn looks cool. I still love the old man lizard. Oooo the eel and horseshoe crab ones look coool. Hope your hands/ wrists feel better now <3. Ooooooo the tapestry looks so cooooool. One thing... I wish I had thought of before now tbh when I did that type of thing in middle school, maybe put a stitch marker at every 10 stitches? Lining up with the grid of the paper? It may help keeping things aligned, or get extremely annoying :shrug:. I wonder if compression gloves or wrist braces would help? Dragonair update: Nothing insane this week. I've started continuing on embroidering the eyes and kinda want to just get felt for the black area. Not sure how I'll do the iris, but I got some time cause the black alone is taking forever. Both eyes are the size of my hands each, so just very repetitive. I've been going between the embroidery and finishing a travel toiletries bag with the scrubby yarn so it can also be a body wash. I've been making it up as I go and the base is now done. I'm making pockets for each thing and am debating if I should label each pocket or just have 1 giant label as a list reminder. So far, I prefer the red heart scrubby yarn over the sugar and cream scrub atm. The sugar and cream rubs a lot more and I feel works worse for scrubbing when wet? Will have to actually use it more to tell I've also been working on a very much so 18+ troll project house decoration for my friend that I find it hilarious, she may die laughing. It's fine. The pitch: "What if stupidly rich girl bachelorette party gag gift?" It has the actual gift in a wood box, presented like a fancy perfume or wine, with a custom note in a mostly legible font. It's like... 60-70% done and I want to try and mail it out soon

So many cool projects❣️ can’t wait for June
