I love your sweater you said you made it can you share the pattern
Those self care days after feeling really depressed are sooooo hard but so necessary and refreshing! 🐕
Yesss they help so much 😭😭 it’s not even that much work once you get started but it makes a big difference <33 thank you for watching!!
You put me on the salted maple oat milk lattes and they are SO good lol
@@teresabeaumont5597 omg isn’t it??? and so simple too!!
Same! You look beautiful either way, but it makes sense to put on some more color when you’re on camera 🤩
Aww thank you so much!! It definitely just adds some life into videos and that translates into my mood too :)
These were such good ideas! I’m just now getting into crocheting so I can’t do much more than a rectangle but some of these still seemed achievable for me! I’d love a crocheting simple things for beginners video! Maybe with some little hacks for switching yarn colors or something?
ooooo I’ll definitely try and brainstorm something that’s a great idea!! maybe also just like patterns you can make with one shape or something haha. There’s def some in here but I can think of more :) I’m so glad you found it helpful!
Not at all on topic but I looooooooooooove your hair! ❤
omg thank youuuuu! It was right after a wash day hehe
Beautiful ❤
Thank you 🥺🥺❤️
Hi, I discovered your channel just a few days ago and I was looking for some vlogs to look at while crocheting, and a lot of them bored me, until I found one of your videos. And I think there's not a particular reason, I think I just like you, and that's the thing, if someone likes you it's not important what you do in your vlogs or if sometimes you have a bad day. So I wanted to say, it's ok not to be perfect, it's ok to have weird days, it's just nice to follow you along and hear what you have to say❤
🥺🥺🥺 this is the sweetest comment ever what?? I really appreciate that, it’s made my day thank you I feel the same way about the videos I watch on here so I know that that’s kind of how it works!! I think when you’re first starting out it’s a bit different since people don’t know you yet, so I really appreciate you getting to know me and giving me a chance 🫶🏽🫶🏽
thats orion in that viral balaklava pic!! shes a supa talented writer and content creator!!
omg I’ve definitely heard of her before but idk how familiar I am w her!! I knew someone would have to recognize her, I just assumed she was a fashion blogger
this is so helpful, thannk you!!!
yay I’m so glad!! let me know if you make any :))
💖
😊❤️
I loooovvee your hair!!! It's so coily and looks so healthy in your videos! I have a similar hair texture so I get it, I watch all of these curly haired people online using so many products and get so overwhelmed but keeping it simple has been my best bet. I've never tried a diffuser though so I want to at some point!!
awww thank you so much!! It used to be in such bad shape so I should really be more proud of the state it’s in now! I agree it feels so overwhelming, especially because I lose track of what is actually making a difference lol. I used to hate using a diffuser because I’m a bit lazy and thought it was bad for my hair but it seems to be healthier for my hair type than leaving it wet for a long time?? Idk but would recommend trying!!
❤❤
💕💕
I too sometimes keep the fridge door open, looking for answers 😔🙏 By the way, the cowboy boots are so cute!
hahaha I’m so glad someone noticed that!! I want to go back to see if they change the quotes. and thank you!! I need to figure out how to wear it but was such a nice surprise 😊 thanks for watching <3
Very cosy ❤
thank you!! we all need some cozy vibes
Currently making a snowflake pillow for my sister, I'd say it takes about 5-6 hours?
oh so cute!! are you freehanding it or following a pattern?
@carlascalling I found a little graph for the snowflake on pinterest, it's pretty much just repeating the standard rows after that, so a mix of both I guess
Inspired me to crochet fingerless gloves and a matching headband for my mother-in-law and nieces. Another easy-to-make idea is a crochet frame for pictures. I made one for my best friend, which took less than an hour. I am making green and red ones to put pictures of our family that won't make it for Christmas.
awww anything matching is sooo cute! I'm making matching balaclavas for my sister and her dog haha. i've never seen a crochet picture frame i'm going to need to look that up!
i make beanies if i need a last minute gift they're easy and quick + there are so many differnt kinds of beanies that you can make
yesss people always say this but i think i'm just biased cause my first ever project was a simple crochet beanie and it def took me a long time and was very uneven lol. i'm making one as a gift this year so i'll finally be able to test how long it takes
@@carlascalling its indeed also a good starter project and the better you get at crochet the faster a beanie is to crochet
I made a strawberry stitch towel topper for my mom, just took a towel, folded it in half, made holes at the top and crocheted into each one, alternated the strawberry stitch, and alternated between the strawberries and decrease rows, then once I’d decreased it to my desired width I crocheted it long enough to hook over the oven handle, made a crochet loop at the end, and added a button!
wait does this mean like a loop on the towel so you can hang it?? I've been wanting to make something like that for ages but haven't yet
@carlascalling yep! It was my first time making one. I used a basic towel topper pattern, but added the strawberries
❤
thanks for watching! :)
the way that it's december 6th, i knowwwww i have gifts i need to make (including one i just never finished for last year's christmas), and yet i'm sat here making a hooded scarf for myself 😭 these ideas are so cute tho! once i finish my scarf i will be making something from this video
omg i have one gift finished dont worry lolol. i need to really get on it this week 😀 but also a hooded scarf for yourself is more important hehe. i've been seeing so many of those and want to try it too!
That’s to say America is corrupted the people that voted for him hates everyone that’s not like them and that’s sad how people still hate so much. To me trump is a sign of hate he hates women and people that aren’t the same color as him. His famous saying let’s make America great again! When? When women couldn’t vote? or when people owned other people? Trump is a joke and America again is going to be a joke
I've been making all my gifts this year. I'm so glad I thought to start them back in September as I am on top of everything, i just have 3x keychains to do and 2 portraits to finish. Love all the recommendations, I really want to try the bauble design xx I saw a snowflake garland pattern on tiktok that looked so pretty
Omg good job being on top of everything!! I still need to make 3.5 more lol. a portrait as in like a pixel chart of someone?? so cool
water bottle holder
@@lydiabehsh oh yes!! With a mesh stitch that’s so handy
@@carlascalling and fast to make too haha 😍
Making star garlands is my mom and I's new obsession! I can make one medium sized garland with 10 stars in under an hour. There is a very quick and easy tutorial here on youtube that works with basically any type of yarn (How To Crochet Christmas Star Garland [...] by Endless Diy Aart is the one I followed). Highly recommend as it's a fun pattern to make and you could crochet only the stars to use in a whole variety of projects. Thank you for the cute gift recommendations!
@@Lis_Kid WOW one hour for a whole garland?? I need to make that and so cute you do it w your mom 🥺
@carlascalling thank you! My mom taught me how to crochet and I help her read English patterns. We're going to a Christmas market together to sell our makes. Your video helped give me some ideas for some last minute items, so I'm glad I found your video 😊
definitely trying this tysm🙏🏻
yay!! please report back. it's my current fave. don't be shy w the salt, it adds such a nice touch :)
😂
Hahah I was in a mood
i miss london😭 would love a coffee recipe if u haven’t posted already!!
putting salt in my coffee?? #coffeerecipe #vlogmas2024
Thank you for this very important video ❤ You spoke so well about this topic I have also thought about.
That makes me so happy! Thank you for watching 😊
Did love it, so enjoyable TY!
I’m so glad!! More vlogs to come!
My December goals are to finish the semester with mostly A's in school and to also finish a sweater I'm crocheting!❄
You got this!!! Hope you have time for plenty of rest too, and yay! Have you made a sweater before?
@@carlascalling Thank you!! I have but I didn't really like the yarn I used so I don't really wear it, this one is made out of acrylic which I find a lot more comfortable!
Puppy deserves a little crochet Christmas sweater 😂❤
@@mar.solomon omg he so does! he’s the sweetest
Feeling so Christmassy 🥰
me toooo!
Just stumbled upon your channel, while looking for tips to "detox" myself from this wild overconsumption trend. Not that I am an overconsumer, I can't really afford to be one, but I still get that annoying need to buy stuff unnecessarily and I don't like to live like this. I want to live more slowly, like I used to. I agree with pretty much everything you said and I'll try to make more sustainable and MEANINGFUL presents this year. Wish more people did the same :)
Same!!! I have moments where I’m like I need this this and this and it gets so overwhelming. but then it’s also a big relief when I realize I don’t need this things and can save my money lol. thanks for watching!!
I’d love to see vlogmas and more crochet vlogs! I love your channel, also happy turkey day 🫶🏾
that makes me so happy!! I'll definitely do more vlogs for vlogmas, not an upload every day but extra uploads for sure :). and yesss, so so happy to crochet more. happy turkey day 🫶🏽🫶🏽
I’m baking sweet potato casserole while I watch🥰✨
ughhh i'm jealous!! enjoy 🧡

🤶 first time viewer! this got me to bring out my cross stitch again after months
yayyy welcome!! cross stitch is so cool but I’ve never tried! do you recommend?
@carlascalling if you want to try I recommend getting a little kit for your first project. I've seen them at the dollar store or slightly nicer ones in craft stores for like$10
Love your videos. One of my favorite ways to be more mindful with consumption during the holidays is only buying holiday decor we truly love and want to keep using year after year. We have slowly created a collection of decor that feels very “us” and we are excited to just keep reusing it every year versus buying a whole new lineup of decor items from Target
thank you so much!! that is such a good idea, plus it’s so fun to take out the decorations and be like “oh this is from X year”, “so and so got this for us”, etc. that’s how it always way in my family, it makes it so special and homey ❤️
Great post! Love hearing your thoughts on this, and the fact that you are educating and advocating for things that benefit the planet, the clutter, etc. The struggle is real! I am making some crochet gifts but not to the extent that it stresses me out as I have done in the past. Also (thoughtfully) purchasing things from their wish lists, where possible. 🤶🏻
I love that so much!! Handmade gifts take so much time as it is, I think it’s okay to work on less stressful projects for the holidays. Everyone will love them regardless of how long they took! 😊 thanks for watching
🤶🏾 Thank you for encouraging your community to shop small! As a small business owner, this support means so much, especially during the holidays. Also, I just finished up my first pair of crochet mittens!
Yess, props to you for being an entrepreneur! That’s takes so much hard work and dedication, your boutique looks so cute 🫶🏽🫶🏽 and yay!! I wear my own crochet mittens all the time, so cozy 😊
Your sweater is looking gorgeous, and it’s fun & cozy to see your process & hang out 😊
thank you soo much i'm so excited to finish it. i love making vlogs like this so it makes me happy to know people enjoy it!
Catching up on videos, I had missed this one. I enjoyed!
yay thank you for watching :)!
Loved this video, so beautiful & fun!
paris does all the heavy lifting when it comes to beauty! thanks again hehe

Knitting a Christmas stocking for my mother while watching this video, precisely in (small) response to overconsumption. She saw a cute but cheaply-made trendy stocking in the store while visiting, and I steered her away from impulse-buying it on the promise that I could make one like it, but more in her style. Now I have to make good on that promise! 😅
hahah the best motivation!! i'm sure it's going to turn out great and it'll hold a memory/story as well!! much more interesting imo
I LOVE Christmas because of gift giving but everyone in my family hates it. It's like this waste of money and time to them, just a time to receive more junk they'll never use, and that really bothers me. Gift giving can be so magical when it's not made into this capitalistic hellhole. It can be pure and kind, I wish it was treated that way and cheap homemade gifts were more normalized. Love everything you said here 😁🤶😁🤶
that is so interesting!! i wish i mentioned that in my vid, a lot of people get overwhelmed by all the junk that it turns them off the whole holiday/festive season in general. but it doesn't have to be that way!! knowing i'm going to get/give a few thoughtful or useful items make me feel way better than receiving a bunch of stuff that's crowding my space. and thanks so much for watching! <3
🤶🏻🤶🏻🤶🏻 love watching these videos while I edit photos ❤
that's so cool!! are you a photographer? thanks for watching :)) 🤶
I actually made the keychain with the anatomically correct heart. It was a lot of work, using embroidery yarn but it was so worth it!
