Katie Makes Stuff

I choose to make stuff. Not because it is easy, but because it is hard. And because I am a crazy person who needs to be doing something or I'll turn into a potato. But potatoes are delicious, so I guess this is quite a conundrum.

I'm in Lucerne, Switzerland today getting rained on and looking at things older than I can imagine. And when in the land known for sharp things, it's only fair to pick up a few sharp things for my sewing projects!

I've been in Austria the last few days. Everything is beautiful, but I have to admit that the breads and sweets just speak to my soul.

I'm leaving for Europe on Saturday and my brain can't think of anything else, so no new video this week (or possibly next week). However, I'm hoping to get a few shorts out while I'm gone so I don't miss you too much.

Until I see you again friends, go make something cool!✌️

Today's video is...so silly and weird!! I was stuck on video ideas and sometimes greatness comes from that.

Sometimes not! We'll see what you all think but if nothing else I hope it gives you a giggle..ENJOY! (At least it's short?!?)

Hello friends! Does anyone know of a good mitten pattern? My phalanges are freezing and I don't trust random hand-drawn "patterns" on Google images.

I'll see y'all on Wednesday-ish for my January update and LOTS of UFOs! Stay warm out there!!

GUUUUYYYYYSS!! I don't know what to say other than THANK YOU for being a part of my little maker community here. It's crazy to think there are TWENTY THOUSAND people that thought enough of me to click subscribe.

I'm excited to see what YEAR 4 has to offer and where it's going to take us! ❤️

We're halfway through January and if you're like me, you're probably still going through some thrifting withdrawals. So Oskar wants to know: how is your #NoBuy25 going so far? Have you

- made your donation to charity?
- stayed away from Thrifting?
- finished at least one UFO?
- not bought any new craft supplies?

Sound off below and tell Oskar the truth...he won't judge 🤣

#NoBuy25 has officially begun! If you're riding the struggle bus with the rest of us, here are your January reminders.

- Don't forget to donate something by the end of the month
-This is the month to finish at least one UFO (unfinished object) from your craft pile (and I know we all have them)
-No purchasing craft supplies or decor items

That doesn't sound too hard, right?!? Share your experiences in the comments below or over on my Ko-Fi page ko-fi.com/katiemakesstuff

Can you last an entire year without buying crafting supplies (this includes thrifting...)?? I'm challenging myself, and you if you'd like to join in, to not buy ANY crafting supplies or clothing in 2025. You can watch the whole video here https://youtu.be/WZgLFSd0on4

Or jump to my Ko-Fi page to see the whole breakdown including my plans for monthly sewing/making challenges to keep that dopamine flowing. ko-fi.com/katiemakesstuff

The No-Buy train already has a ton of passengers, so hop on board and let's see what good stuff we can make this year (and how much money we can save in the process)!
