Welcome to Stacey Makes Stuff: Where Yarn, Creativity & Handmade Dreams Meet

I’m Stacey, the maker behind the creations you’ll find here. This little corner is where yarn, creativity, and a whole lot of imagination come together.

Here you’ll find handmade crochet creations, behind-the-scenes looks at my projects, new designs, crafty tips, and the occasional “I started another project before finishing the last one” moment. 😉🧶

For me, making isn’t just about the finished piece. It’s about the joy of creating something with my own hands and sharing a little piece of that creativity with others.

Thanks for stopping by! I can’t wait to share what I’m making next. ✨

7/22 Edited to

As someone who has embraced the joy of crochet for years, I find Stacey's approach truly inspiring. She beautifully combines creativity with practicality, offering not just finished pieces but also the magic of creating them. One thing that stands out is how her focus on one stitch at a time reveals the meditative side of crochet—a wonderful form of self-care that allows you to unwind while producing something beautiful. Her range of projects—from bags and amigurumi to home décor and accessories—showcases the versatility of crochet, making it accessible for both beginners and advanced crafters. I’ve personally experienced how following simple, well-explained crochet patterns can empower you to try new techniques and finish projects you once thought too complex. What I appreciate most is the sense of community Stacey fosters. Using hashtags like #CraftyCommunity and #SmallBusinessJourney not only connects crafters but also supports those turning their passion into a small business. Engaging with such a community enhances motivation and creativity, making the crafting journey even more rewarding. If you’re new to crochet or looking for fresh inspiration, Stacey’s content encourages you to pick up your hook and enjoy the process. It’s not just about the end result—it's about relishing each stitch, learning along the way, and sharing your creations with others who appreciate handmade love. Whether you’re creating for fun or to grow your own business, this corner filled with yarny goodness is a treasure trove of inspiration and helpful tips.

My new love for yarn.

Usually I order yarn from Turkey. I love 50/50 cotton and acrylic. 100% cotton yarn is too stiff. Toys come out kinda not huggable. This, Made With Love, yarn is perfect, it’s 60% cotton and 40% acrylic. And I’m happy I can just go to Michaels and buy it. Not waiting for package to arrive. #ya

Budget Friendly yarn for newbies

As a beginner, you may be intimidated with the different yarn fibers and yarn can get pretty expensive. I suggest starting off with acrylic. It’s easy to work with and is the most affordable yarn fiber. My two favorite acrylic yarns to work with are Red Heart Super Saver, and Loops and thread.
