Vlogmas Day 4 is basically me letting a tiny little mystery box of eyeballs run my life (and honestly… I’m not mad about it). I’m opening my eye advent calendar from StacyMakes and using whatever set I pull to decide what plushie project I’m making. It’s such a fun way to break out of the “I always make the same thing” rut, and it instantly gives me a vibe for the whole make—like the eyes are the personality first, and the plushie comes second. In this vlog, I show you the eye set I opened, talk through what kind of project it inspires, and then I crack open the next day’s eyes so you can help me decide what I should make next. I’m also chatting about materials I’m using (Alize Velluto is that dreamy, squishy chenille I keep reaching for), plus a few of my go-to tools that make plushie-making way less annoying—especially when it comes to installing safety eyes cleanly. If you want a cozy crochet hangout with a side of “choose my next make,” this one’s for you.
