This week’s makes is one of those “why do I do this to myself?” episodes where I’m bouncing between cute plushies, questionable yarn decisions, and the very real reality of trying to keep my studio brain organized. I walk you through what I’ve been working on lately—some pieces were pattern-based (like the Busy Bumble Bee, Sunny the Egg, and Raisin the Raccoon), and some were totally free-handed because apparently I like living on the edge. If you’re into cozy crochet vlogs with a side of yarn chaos, you’re in the right she shed. I also chat about tools that make the process smoother—specifically the hooks I mentioned—because when I’m making plushies, my hands will absolutely riot if my hook isn’t comfortable. The big takeaway this week is that progress doesn’t have to be perfect to be worth showing: I’m sharing the wins, the “what was I thinking” moments, and the stuff I’m still tweaking. If you’re selling handmade (or thinking about it), these weekly check-ins are a nice reminder that making consistently is half the battle—and the other half is not buying yarn like it’s a personality trait.
