Vlogmas Day 9 is one of those cozy, real-life crochet days where I finally stop making things for everyone else and make some Christmas decor for me. I’m chatting through my process while I work up a crochet Christmas tree (yes, the cute little decor kind), and I also put together a pet memorial ornament that’s honestly such a sweet, meaningful make for the holidays. It’s very much a “reset my brain, make something festive, and enjoy the vibes” kind of vlog. If you’ve been wanting to crochet decorations but keep putting it off (hi, same), this is your sign to just start. I’m using my go-to plush yarn options like Premier Basix Chenille and Parfait-style yarns for that soft, squishy finish, and I share the patterns I’m pulling from so you can make the exact same pieces. The big takeaway: handmade decor doesn’t have to be complicated to feel special—especially when it’s tied to memories (like a pet ornament) or just brings that cozy holiday energy into your space.
