Taking Myself on a Solo Date (Plushie Making Class!!) Vlogmas Day 15

[@zgyenes14]

one of the biggest downside of living in the middle of effing nowhere is that the closest fun thing like this is at least an hour away 😭 love living vicariously through you doing fun shit 😭

[@livblakeslee7561]

lol "It's exhausting being stupid" is something I have never felt more in my life

[@laurDIYvlogs]

LOL it’s my fav complaint

[@beckyjones5315]

I have never felt more seen or heard than when Lauren was doing her diamond art 😂 “I’m so overwhelmed” “Oh my god, oh my god” are the symphony of my household 😂

[@KyndraBarroga]

Lauren being so excited to show TSJ her plush then she gets sad when she said she didn’t make the boba & TSJ just says “oh”

[@stephanieanderson2263]

I love how Diggy and Moose came over and basically said "yay you are home and now we can have more cuddle time." Jeremy is such a supportive husband by supporting Lauren's hobbies ❤❤❤

[@SarahELynchDesigns]

You knitted your plushie, there's no machine that can do crochet. Crochet can only be done with a person using a hook. If you ever see crochet items in a mass retail space just know that someone handmade that item and probably got paid very little for it.

[@singdinoabc]

Hi crocheter here! im literally crocheting a xmas as im watching lmaoo but i just want to correct that the machine thing is actually a knitting machine. crochet cant be made by a machine so yeah lysm lauren! 💓💓

[@_karlavane_]

Also came to comment this as Lauren kept referring to it as crochet 😅 I’m also crocheting while watching and catching up on my temperature blanket

[@singdinoabc]

@_karlavane_ i wish i could make a temperature blanket but i live in a country where its only hot or rainy 💀

[@sj32527]

Yeah and I also feel like it’s important to note that the business’ website correctly calls it knitting so Lauren just got consistently confused here.

[@rebecarojas6851]

@@singdinoabcI feel that, I live in a desert so I would have only big blobs of warm colors in the summer when it’s blazing hot

[@desiw9190]

Just screaming the whole time KNITTING 😅😅😅 please

[@jacquelinejones1754]

TSJ just hanging out in the mirror background shot😂

[@jessicaho10034]

Jeremy supporting Lauren’s hobbies is the cutest thing ever ❤ 🥹

[@m.marquardt66]

This is the earliest I’ve been to a vlogmas video despite RELIGIOUSLY watching it daily lol

[@laurDIYvlogs]

🥹❤️🫶🏼

[@dumplingdemi]

The amount of times Diggo yawned in this vlog is criminal. 😂

[@laurDIYvlogs]

just an eepy guy 🥹

[@coffeegirl18]

Thanks for linking the diamond painting accessory kit. I was having a heck of a time getting it done and was only slightly aware of the multi diamond tool.

[@meghasinghania1]

We love when diggy is on our laps!! It's so wholesome!!

[@ksey15]

As someone who got obsessed with diamond art in 2020. Use the organizer to put all your dots in and organize them by colour and number or icon. It will keep them from going everywhere.

[@ellerandolph5281]

I discovered diamond art about two weeks ago and Im actually obsessed. Found a cappybara one at Michaels! Instantly thought of you when I found it !!

[@Ike_Sanney3]

Honestly kinda love moose "sittin in our lap" he's making us feel like we are their with you guys doing the advent calendar 😂♥️🫶

[@m.marquardt66]

I used to have those crochet/knit kits and made pompoms as a kid!! The smaller radius ones obv create smaller balls and so your can make ornament pompom plushies ❤❤

[@sierra6825]

Ive been waiting for this episode to come out!

[@caitypaige1765]

“It is exhausting being stupid!” So relatable 😂😂😂

[@Nila.7]

This December has not been easy, thank you for brightening up my mornings as I start my day with coffee ❤

[@xCarrieex]

Going to school and working full-time has made me an audiobook girlie. I’m thankful that my job allows me to listen to stuff while I’m at work. Multi-tasking at its finest. I listened to the book club audiobook at work and lemme tell you….poker face was much needed. Lol

[@laurDIYvlogs]

LMFAOOOOOO

[@kaitmarie3237]

Lauren, I absolutely feel you on the diamond dots. They can definitely be relaxing and nice to do, just to zone out while doing it, but it can also definitely feel like you're not getting as much done as the effort and time you put into it, and it's so sad!! I started with a similarly large one (Van Gogh's Starry Night) and I've barely made it past the first third of it after sinking at least 5 hours of work into it. Knowing me though I might be stubborn enough to get back into it🤣 I'm glad you gave it a shot though!! Thank you for doing Vlogmas, it's been so fun getting to watch a new video every day!! This is the first Vlogmas I've been following along with despite being a long time viewer but it's such a good time!! Much love :)

[@charrols]

Definitely recommend the mini diamond painting kits! Much more fun to me and so much easier

[@sty3459]

If you are looking for another easy vlogmas video, I would love a recap of your top 10 favorite books from this year!!

[@mialvess]

Lauren, you can call him “Sansão”, in Brazil a blue bunny is Monica’s teddy’s, and this is sooooo huge! Hahaha just a fun fact

[@Mando_marie787]

Hey lauren!! If you take an exacto knife and cut the clear film on top of the painting into squares, you can peel the squares off of whatever section you want to do!!

[@jnardo408]

jeremy just standing in the mirror on his computer is making me laugh so hard lmaooo its just giving adhd

[@kittyreincat]

OK! Today I turned on the oven and finally heard the clinging sound like you did with your evil pot. So you are not the only one! To me it’s just regular kitchen sounds and I never noticed it until today!! I had just watched the soup video! Also- congrats🥈

[@laurDIYvlogs]

DEMON POT RETURNS

[@kittyreincat]

@ exactly!! Mine was a demon oven! 👿

[@mel8335]

OMG ME TOO on the Woobles Fail....I have never felt so defeated regarding crafting. Lol.😂😂

[@sierradrinkwalterxo]

“I want to get these nuggets to where he air fryer” as the camera is on the boys 😭😂

[@anickac4358]

been doing diamond art for so long! spent the majority of my summer doing a few while listening to the wild til 9 podcast and you can sit with us!

[@yoopergirl904]

I really have come to love doing diamond art kits and I LOVE that one. I'm a sucker for Christmas. It definitely requires a lot of time though 😅

[@myaadams8284]

If you like reading you could do the diamond art while listening to audiobooks. It helps me a lot with my adhd to have something to do with my hands while I listen my books

[@lanikwan2474]

I get diamond painting kits but for small items like the bookmark and coasters. And that’s super fun just to do and throw in as gifts so I limit my diamond painting to that- haven’t done a full picture or anything. So I recommend that if you wanna try something smaller :)

[@mackenzielecy-schoenherr6718]

The bunny is perfect Easter decor

[@millylarz]

Question for the diamond art, could it be cut in half and make 2 smaller pictures and then just do the most vibrant colors 1st instead of the white background 🤔? Also does crystal art exist because whenever I look it up it brings back diamond art. The little plastic "diamonds" are no where near sparkly enough for me lol😂.

[@Ane0803]

You’d love an Addi Express King Size knitting machine. Not cheap, but from the reviews of it compared to less expensive machines Addi seems to be a smidgen higher quality. Amazon sells them, and other Addi items. I believe all are made in Germany. There’s even an attachment, not endorsed or recommended by Addi, that can pop onto the handle and onto a power screwdriver to zoom through the rounds. Very popular with makers. You’d be able to pop out oodles of plushies or knit hats. ❤

[@jillmacdonald1021]

😂 I am working on a Christmas Diamond Art while watching you start yours!!! It is worth it when it’s done. There are all kinds of accessories that can help with keeping them straight.

[@Hshedd1]

They have cute diamond art bookmarks they are much easier to complete in less time and feel accomplished!

[@DestinyR7]

There are other options for diamond painting. You might enjoy what’s called “partial drills” what you currently have is a “full drill”. Basically, you should look for smaller images that contain only small sections with dots. Most of the time when I’ve seen these the dots are much larger with different shapes and size crystals. It also goes a lot faster because the whole image isn’t diamonds.

[@JaidenReighard]

as somebody who has also completed a 16x20 diamond puzzle thing, i can wholeheartedly say that i had the exact same realization that you did when you said “this is gonna take so fkn long” 💀💀

[@vanessajoseph2407]

I love diamond painting takes a lot of time but afterwards looks amazing

[@TheAnxiousArtist]

Please update if and when that plushie place opens in NY, that is right up my alley!!! Glad I’m not the only one pushing to complete the book by Wednesday 😂

[@RJyn83]

Day 15!! 🎉 What brand is the air fryer, I needs it 😁

[@melissaluna4732]

I bet it was so much FUN!!!

[@usagimoon.x.o6256]

Making plushies sounds fun!!❤

[@nerdysophie1815]

Hi Lauren !!!! I’m so excited to watch another wonderful vlog from you ❤❤❤

[@beckyjones5315]

As a crafting girlie who also recently discovered the task of diamond art. I completely relate to underestimating the time consumption it has in my life 😂 But we have started and we have committed so here we go 😂

[@julieta8683]

Your blue bunny that you made is so cute I love it's boba tea and white ribbon on it's left ear 💙👏🏻😍🐰

[@Diane281]

for the diamond painting i usually do one color at a time i find that easier for me anyway

[@herwanderingpaws]

After seeing you buy your diamond art it made me want to do diamond art so I actually got a giraffe one I started it last Monday and I'm already up to the one giraffe's head

[@tuanhio9122]

I love that puffy checkered blanket on her couch 😍 Where is it from?

[@juliecampos9428]

Excuse me but whereeee is your hair clip from?? It’s SO cute!

[@martinaschlagl3882]

The bunny looks so cute! I wish fun activities like this would be available where I live 😢

[@carinakoo7216]

the scream to go potty HAHAHAHAH

[@Chrissinteriordesign]

Coming master got me dead 😂😂

[@Chrissinteriordesign]

Also where did u get the diamond art thing at I did watch ur vlog about it but i now i don’t remember where u got it from

[@JRoseE1989]

I failed a crochet 101, a class designed for children under 10. 😔 I couldn’t pick up the hand gestures of the art. Yet making bracelets in 1998-2002 when I was 8-12, I was a literal pro! 😅

[@hannahphillips500]

have you considered listening to audiobooks while diamond painting?

[@laurDIYvlogs]

I’m sooooo picky with audiobook voices I’ve never successfully finished a fiction audiobook without getting mad at the narrator LMAO

[@mikailaberetta4044]

spot the wild TSJ jeremy in the mirror with his laptop 🤣

[@gabbieday4729]

The thing you made the plushie body on it called a knitting machine. It’s definitely not something that company made up. The body is knit and the accessories are crocheted

[@justinakiefer8505]

Love the video and want some tips on starting a vlog channel for me and Michael are thinking of moving to Florida just us together someday and I like some shopping too

[@alisaangelina35]

yayyy!!❤❤

[@kpopkpopkpopXD]

My dog has a blueberry toy she loves called Bloobs 💙

[@marccolomayt82094]

Literally so cuteeeeeee❤❤❤

[@katiepierce5507]

You should try a Latch hook kit.

[@despoinatampourlou7524]

14:57 no thoughts just happy to be here🥹

[@DestinyR7]

The waiver to never machine wash might be a legal thing so the company can’t get sued for putting micro plastics into the environment if people decide to wash them.

[@IdaaMariee93]

Why not combine and listen to audio books while diamond painting? 😊

[@laurDIYvlogs]

I think for the sake of my posture and shoulder tension this is just not for me lol

[@IdaaMariee93]

Understandable! Takes so freaking long as well 😂 I finished a 100x60 cm one, and it took me about 2 years, on and of 😂

[@Angie_runs]

That is so fuckin'!! CuuUute!! 🤗😍💖✨️🩵

[@lindseygoldade1824]

Name her blueberry

[@breannaforrest5330]

I love diamond art but it always hurts my neck being hunched over

[@d.i.y.carley]

[@chickenthotpie765]

14:49 I can’t explain it, but Diggy looks JUST like Bear from Bear and the big blue house

[@ms.jeansen]
