Hello! I am doing this channel to share my love of yarn, crochet and other crafty goodness. I don't have very many people in my real world that are interested in yarns and crafts. I love crochet, cross stitch, painting, diamond art and once in a while knitting. I make videos I like to have on while I am crafting or doing mom stuff. Sometimes it will be chill music and crafts, sometimes it will be haul videos and who knows what else I might come up with. Come sit, grab a coffee or a tea, put your feet up, glad you are here.

This project was just so difficult. I am glad that I finished it. The process was trusted and turned out super awesome! #crochet #yarn #amigurumi #chestercheetah
One of the hardest projects to date

This was filmed before Christmas. I decided to leave the original voice. So, some of it is for stuff before Christmas. This pattern had me feeling like I was not good enough to make it. It was complicated in ways I didn't expect. However, just trust the process. #crochet #yarn #amigurumi #chestercheetah

Hi! I'm sorry, I guess I needed a break. So many gifts made. Two were some of the toughest to date. I'm still working on one of them! Strained my wrist for a couple days. I also barely touched any of my projects. Now I am rested and missing my crochet time! #crochet #yarn

WOW, ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! You did an amazing job. I was worried about the muzzle also but it is perfect, Congratulations on a job well done.
🐻
👍
I really love this design! I hope you have a great holiday!!
great ❤❤❤
I love all of the finished projects. You have done a great job. I am partial to the banana and pear cuz I recognize them. lol I just can't handle the small tight stitching for amigurumi. I think I have tried everything in crochet at one time or another but always return to afghans and shawls. I enjoy watching you crochet the various characters and the details and think I want to try again but then I can't pick up the pen to make notes. Oh well, I crochet on. The black yarn with the little loops sure does look interesting. Fell better soon so you can have more fun.
Thank you. The tiny items for the sea scape are kicking my butt. They are straining my wrist and my sanity. So tiny and tight. I like the challenge of amigurumis. They really get to me. I love making the wearables. The only blanket I have made was a graph-ghan and I don't think it's the same thing. Make what makes you happy!
I'm sorry your not feeling good. This is the last thing you need, this time of year. I'm glad your resting, I hope the kids are helping you out. Please stay warm and hydrated. I hope you are better soon.
Thank you for your kind words. I am feeling lots better, still a tiny bit sick but much better. My house needs a good cleaning lol
Hope you feel better soon. Soothing music to listen to while I crochet.
I went and got something new. I thought it was a good one for crochet! I'm glad you liked it!
I am your new friend. Please support me please 😢❤

I like all of the various videos.Winding yarn, start of a project, parts of an ami, progress on a project, finished projects, and quiet music crocheting. I am always crocheting when I watch so quiet music was pleasant. Sorry it was because you didn't feel well. Larengyitis has been going around in my neck of the woods. Luckily I have avoided it so far. Take care of yourself and your family.
Thank you for your feedback! I am glad to hear we are crocheting at the same time! Stay healthy!
omg I would not have the patience. You need to hang out a shingle that says yarn doctor, no tangle too big or small lol. Crochet ninja Turtles? I hope her imagination stays good for her, you do a fantastic job of nertureing it with her. Lol this reminds me I have a huge mess of crochet thread there must be 6 different colors in that tangled mess.If I lived close to you I could just drop it off and say fill your boots.
I do enjoy untangling yarn. It's a challenge and my brain loves working out where the threads go. Taking the chaos and making it nice again. Yes, I have that whole ninja turtle family. I have just been requested to do some more bad guys for Christmas. I love making wearables, the toys are just so cute though!
Hi how are you doing? I know how frustrating back trouble is. I had to give up work because of it. I cried and blatted for over a year because I couldn't work. I have a problem with my spine that only affects about 8% of the population and it is and will continue to get worse. I don't get around much any more, I might get out of the house about 3 or 4 times a month now. The only thing they can do about it is give me pain killers. Any way I hope your back gets better soon and your wrist too. How is your wrist feeling? It's smart to keep using that brace until your sure it is completely healed. How is the baby feeling? The doll you made is adorable, you have so much talent. You did an amazing job with fixing the hair. You said something about your crochet not being perfect and that it would be boring if it were always perfect. It reminded me of something I heard once, "an artist is never totally satisfied with his creation because if he ever was he would stop creating". I have no idea if that is true or not but I believe it. I'm still wanting to send something to you and I have been thinking about sending your mom something as well. You said she was interested in tatting, I have been thinking about sending her a few thing to get her started with it. What do you think?
Thank you for your kind words and thoughts! I agree the artist is the worst critic of our own works. I am sorry to hear about your back. It truly is the core of our bodies. You never have to send anything. I am just happy that you are watching the videos, and we can enjoy yarn and fiber arts together. As of now, our postal services are on strike, so we don't know how it's all going to play out. Even if you get to go and relax on a chair in the fresh air, count that as getting out. Please take care of yourself.
Wow! I am always so impressed by the finishing details you put on your amigurumis. This one is no exception- I want to play with your daughter's doll also. I love the hair and eyes. Great job again. Sorry to hear about your back. I had a minor issue compared to you and my sister. So glad you were able to have your children despite their predictions. I do appreciate all the effort and hard work you put into your daily videos. I do look forward to them and save them for when I can watch and enjoy at my leisure.Thanks.
Thank you so much! I enjoy the videos because it's not about being mom! Thank you for saying that she turned out well. I am trying very hard to improve the embroidery side of making toys. Thank you for watching!
Hello Just came across this video I’m 99% sure that is bernat pop Peacock plume I’m on the hunt for the same yarn 😂
I have thought it was that yarn, then I have seen something Primer yarn put out, the name escapes me at the moment, that looks super close too. I hope you find some! I love it and am trying to figure out what would I make with it! Thank you for your comment.
omg that is just too cute.Hey, (hair, handle) six of one half dozen of the other lol. I hope she cherishes that for a lot of years. How is she feeling? I hope she is doing better. How is your wrist feeling? I understand you are dealing with somethings right now, with your baby being sick and trying to keep things going around home. Not to mention you need time for your own self care.Take your time getting around to answering your comments, I'm not going anywhere.
The family is feeling much better. Our inspection is done, and the housework is going to go back to regular amount not as heavy as it has been. My wrist is actually feeling a whole lot better. I can bend it without any cracking or snapping! I am really excited to be able to crochet again! Just in time for Christmas! Things are finally getting back to normal! Thank you for bearing with me.
oh my goodness that costume is adorable I agree with you about putting the kids on here, It sounds like an amazing night. We had a few trick or treaters stop here, I just love it. The youngest one was only 2 and she was dressed up like a teddy bear it was adorable. There is something going around for sure, I have been miserable for the last couple of days as well. I know you will get around to the comments when you can. You always have so take your time I'm not going anywhere. Nah nah you call and tell her to baste it for you lol. Omg you really need to get a doctor to kook at your wrist. It sounds like something in there is cracked.
Halloween was a good and bad night. I cried so much for my sister. At the same time, it was one of our most favorite nights of the year! I love the sense of community and fun on Halloween. Christmas feels a bit commercial and closed off. I don't hate Christmas, Halloween is just a fun party!
oh jeeeez black yarn. You did an amazing job on that tie. Is there any chance we get to see the whole costume put together?
I did post the costume after reading your comment. Like I said I have seen you amazing comments. Things have settled down finally! I am really sorry I have gotten so far behind!
hey, how are you? how is the baby feeling? I hope your both feeling better. That wrist seems to be quite bad, I'm glad you plan on having a doctor look at it. I am still wanting an address that I can send something to. I can understand your hesitation and I know it's not that you don't trust me or think that I would ever wish harm on you. I have seen some people that just use post office boxes to recieve things from their viewers. The po box has nothing to do with their civic address it's just a post office box.
I will look into it. Crazy thing is that they just moved our post office and it's impossible to find lol
🧶☕️🍂🧡
Happy Fall!
I am loving the ponytail hat. Great job. 😍
Thank you. It's been interesting working on this project.
Hi all the crackers in the box this is my first time watching your video❤
Bless your babies sweet little hart, I hope she feels better soon. Are you putting ice on your wrist? How is your cold? What a pretty cardigan I love the colors. Did your tension ring break again?
Sorry I took so long to reply, been very busy! My girl is doing great! I am icing my wrist every chance I get. I think I will have to go see a doctor very soon. I love this yarn in this video. It's a really yarn to work with. My rings are fine. I couldn't wear them comfortable after my injury. I can wear them again. Again, really sorry I didn't reply sooner!
oh my goodness they are just precious. is there a pattern for them? I'm sorry your wrist is bothering you again. I want to send you something, do you have a way to get snail mail from your subscribers? Why is it when ever I click on the thumbs up button for your videos, the number doesn't change? Are you getting the thumbs up that I click on?
I will see what I can do about mail. I do get the thumbs up, thank you so much for your support! I used two videos for the squares, I did make a few minor changes. Bigger hook and thicker yarn. pumpkin th-cam.com/video/Th9JrE_nWBE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wmFuQuxUp0iaVaE3 ghosts th-cam.com/video/SMFv2Ae2sGU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=So9wG-7DMOviooSp and the bag that inspired me! th-cam.com/video/PwzZMmpGZ2k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1OMQbm3NIcfzRzie
@@Batmom808 thank you so much
Hey how are you. I hope you had a great thanks giving. Glad to see your wrist is feeling better. Do you have a way to get snail mail? I love the cat stitch, I have been planning to make a cat bed out of it lol I think that would be awesome.I love the duster I want to make one too. That is just perfect, teaching your daughter to crochet. Makes me so wish I had at least one girl. I know just because she would be a girl, doesn't mean she would want to crochet but it would be a good start. My boys certainly weren't interested. I haven't really made up my mind about the pine apple pattern. I think I have just seen so many ugly cut glass dishes with that. I love old clothing fashions, That is what got me so interested in tatting in the first place. Some of the hand made lace work is so beautiful.
ohhh a cat bed with the cat stitch! I love it! For the duster I just made panels. I started with the back. The basic pattern was, just chain row to the width needed, next row all single crochet, the next row was triple crochet, chain 2, skip 2 and triple crochet. I would end the panel with two rows of single crochet. For mine, in total, I made one large back piece, two panel for the front, two for sleeves and two for under the sleeves to make sure it was wide enough for me to fit. Then I sewed the pieces together. It sounds way more difficult than it is. My mom is wanting to try tatting. I am not ready but wow I have seen some amazing work done. It's stunning! I totally get why the pineapple stitch might not appeal. I love the way it looks as a long flowy skirt. I am really leaning that way for what I want to make with it.
Hi, glad your wrist is doing better. Your duster is awesome. Do you have a way to get snail mail? I tried to find you on face book but I couldn't find you there.
Thank you! I love my duster; I wear it everywhere. At the moment I don't have anything set up for mail. Thank you for thinking of me. I am really touched! I am not sure if I want to put out my actual address. I have just set up a Facebook page for my TH-cam channel. I will put a link up soon. It's really plain right now, I haven't sat down and figured out how I want it set up. I do want a way to see everyone's projects! I am super excited.
Very nice yarn. I like Lion Brand normally but they seem to cancel my favorite colors frequently. I go nuts when I can’t crochet also.
Every time I find a colorway I love I am so worried it will be gone when I can get more! It's not fun wanting to crochet and its not comfortable. I can see my desk covered in wips right now! lol
I’ve not been successful yet with sleeves. Love your organization.
The sleeves were a bit weird for my brain at first. I have marked the first 20 stitches with a stitch marker and the last 20. Those 40 are my two sleeves, which is being done with half double crochet in back loops only, (ribbing). The body of the scarf is a loose double crochet. Thank you about my organization, it's always a work in progress, I will probably never achieve my dream organization.
Made jellyfish hats, blanket yarn was fuzzy but not too heavy. Very warm.
That sounds really cute! I don't mind blanket yarn at the same time I am not in love with it. I have a little bit in my stash but I don't rush to buy it when I see it.
Argh, my nemesis. So many WIP’s because of finishing ends. Lol
I have a couple items that may or may not be at that level just because I don't want to right now! lol
I don't mind weaving in ends since I got some metal needles a few years ago. All the years before that I used a smaller hook and it was more tiresome; however, I used the hook to help my Mom after her stroke that paralyzed her dominate side. She figured out a way to crochet and I hid her tails. I do admit that the mood to weave in ends comes and goes depending on how excited I am to start the new project. I also tend to weave as I go but wait a few rows first in case I made a mistake and have to go back. lol
I think it's one of the least favorite for most people. However, for me it's a sign that I am almost done with a project. So I waffle back and forth depending on my mood and if I want to be done or not !
I didn't want to bring up the weight of the hair. I tried a rapunzel hat and the long braid down the back was too heavy. I also made a hat with a curly ponytail out the top and it was too heavy. Now my witch's hat with long green braids on either side over the ears worked out okay. Good luck. I will keep watching to see what works for you. PS I love that shade of icy blue also,
Those sound super cute! A Witch hat with green braids sounds so cute! I am super inspired thank you! This blue is one of my favorite colors and I am so glad that you like it as well!
Thanks for the link I want to make a lap robe or throw with that pattern. No comment on spooky things since Friday the 13th. I do always have cats and blame all weird noises on the cats. lol
When you live with cats, it is usually the cats! lol I am glad you like this pattern. I thought it was so pretty and I want to make something else with it.
Nice. I keep trying various straps to figure out which appeal to me.
I love the idea of there being a different strap for each bag. I honestly just searched on TH-cam, there are many great videos out there! It so inspiring!
😂why does it look like Duolingo 😂
I have a request for Duolingo. lol
adorable!
🧡🧶🍂☕️
Skull bowl -one word TEMU!!💀💀😃 I do keep looking to Temu when I am looking for something. Only problem is that it takes 3-4 weeks but I can practice patience.
The one I was talking about hasn't hit Temu, yet. I will for sure be keeping an eye out. Most of our orders come in a week or two. We have a warehouse not far from us so, it tells us when things are really close. I haven't seen anything I really like for a yarn bowl. I am on a hunt now. lol
I agree whole hartedly with you. The only person you should compare your self to is you. I crochet and I tat for enjoyment , I just want to relax enjoy what I'm doing. I like it when things turn out the first time but if they don;t then I see it as an opportunity to get more practice and to discover more. If there is a new stitch I want to learn I don't mind taking the time to study it first then trying it as many times as it takes to get it right. The bag is really nice I might try to do one too. What on earth did you do to your wrist? Please don't over do it, let it rest and heal when it needs to. I had cateracts removed about a year ago, it was a very quick and totally painless operation. Before that I had worn glasses since I was 5 years old. I have not had to ware glasses since. Ps I remembered the other day you were saying you need more stuffing. I bought a 5 dollar pillow at walmart the other day and I'm planning to cut it open and use the stuffing out of that. I have no idea if it will work but it;s worth a try for 5 bucks.
My wrist is the result of fooling around with one of my kids. It will be ok, I am taking good care of it. So crochet has been very light the past week or so . I am glad to hear that you had a good experience with cataract surgery. That gives me some hope! I am not sure where you live, here, pillows are very expensive. I am better off to just buy a box. It lasted me almost 2 years and many projects, so for the price and the size it's the best value. I just wish they would deliver, it's an hour or more one way trip to pick it up. It's worth the trip though.
that sounds like a lot of fun, Where is this caffee? I would love to go there. No I would not keep those shoes, the name of the brand is not going to make your toes feel better or heal your blisters. It's strange isn't it, the wallmart closest to where I live now is only about half the size of the one where I moved from but they have two times the amount of yarn that the bigger store had. I love playing cards, all different kinds of card games. I had a friend once that me and my ex husband use to visit all the time. She had a book full of directions for different games. We all would sit around the table and play, there was her and her husband and the two of us. We started from the front of the book and worked our way almost the the end of it. It was such a great time. We would put the coffee on, turn on some music and just play cards for hours. We did that every week, at least once a week. I haven't played in so long and I miss it so much. I wish you could teach me to play bakgammon I have been wanting to learn for a while.
The Cafe Is British Columbia. There are probably more around. Card playing, drinking coffee and music is always a good time. I hear Walmart is hit or miss for yarn. I don't even have a functional backgammon set right now or I would make a video to teach you how! It's fun.
Hey.I did try a cool whip plastic lid to enlarge the base of my winder. I was real proud of cutting the center circle for the post and fairly close to the center but alas, it didn't quite work The edge of the lid bumps the yarn coming out of the metal guide and then gets all messed up. I will first try to hold the yarn without the guide but don't think it will work. Next I will try cutting the outside of the lid down a little smaller. Guess we might both have to invest in a larger winder. I use a lot of one pounders and need to wind those before they become a big mess and quite often are still half a pound. I did buy a mesh bag to hold the skein and that may help. I am just afraid that a larger winder will take up more space, I have a whole house but I have a lot of yarn and that is still my priority .lol
I am so glad to see your comment today! I think we are stuck getting a bigger one. On the plus side the winders can be put back into the box when we aren't using them...I never put them away lol
I would bring the complaining neighbor an apple pie, or pumpkin pie and a friendly greeting card, and see what happens 🤔 ps I like the shrug you are wearing, do you know what pattern you used 🤔 thanks
We have never been rude; however, this person has targeted many tenants the same way. As for my Duster, I didn't use a pattern per say, I made up four panels. One large for the back, two smaller for front. Two sleeves. Then I remembered I am a bit round in the tummy, so I had to make two side panels. The Pattern is just one row half double crochet, and one row of (triple crochet, slip stitch,) repeat until end of the row. I finished it with one row single crochet, two rows of double crochet and one more row of single crochet (for the ribbing)
❤ granny square so pretty
Wow that was one large yarn cake. I love thunder storms but there hasn't really been much of one in a couple of years. This year every time they said there would be one, we would only get one or two claps of thunder and it was over. Was is your sons shelf that you heard making a thump yesterday?
We are in a valley, so we get them time to time. Even during the winter while it was snowing once. Never did figure out where the thump came from! I was sure someone big had fallen to the ground. I got his new shelf made up and the old one is tucked away safe from falling down.
oh holey cow ouch that's a lot of knitting and crochet. Well no one can say you don't put your self into your work. Yeah I can definately see a difference. Aww that awesome. Tell her congrats and also happy birthday to the little one. Did you check the book case in your sons room? That sounds like it's ready to go down any minute. Every time you run that thumb over your yarn, I can't help but wince. Yes a cup of tea sounds good to me too.
Thankfully the thumb doesn't hurt it's just scratchy and catches my yarn. I am taking a small break and getting some sleep! The shelf has nothing on it so it should be ok...I hope. The tea was just what I needed to help me get to sleep!
wow you have been videoing like crazy lol I have been trying to get caught up on your videos. That sweater is going to be beautiful, I love those greens together, and I love that stitch. Omg yes, I miss lay away. There was a jewelry store in my home town that use to do layaways I use to get so much from them at christmas and for birthdays. When you learn to use your psychic abilities to untangle the big knots, you let me know lol. See, this is why I wanted girls. Not that boys can't crochet but my boys can't. I would love to have a kid that would do things like that for me. I tried using black and white together once. I thought it would look neater than it actually did but it did make using the black yarn easier. Please don't tell me you have murdered the pink minion I really think a minionette would be awesome.I can see little girls loving the idea that there are girls in the group too.
I put a video pretty much every day. Watch when you can if you want to! Lay away was such a great way to handle buying expensive or out of reach items, while keeping a budget together. I wish I could untangle yarn from afar! I may have to take apart the pink minion, I am running really low on stuffing and well.... it will be ok.
❤❤
Thank you!
I love that color blue, I would be excited about that. Oh you tease lol I want that color. Bugs? I just saw a spider as big as a horse hanging off the out side of my bedroom window today, I kid you not you could saddle that thing. If you don't hear from me for the next week send help. Omg that green too lol I want to raid your stash. Mint chocolate chip mmm one of my favourites, have you tried orange pineapple yet?
I'm sorry I haven't tried orange pineapple yet. I haven't had a taste for ice cream this year. It's so strange. As for your spider, eww no thanks! In my area a big one that lives in bushes outside the window is the lovely orb spider, or popcorn spider. They are harmless but get big and they catch all others trying to enter your home. I still don't want them inside, but they can hang out near my door and windows to catch the rest! I know that spiders have a purpose, but they give me chills when they move! I keep my yarn under plastic during the hotter months in hopes to keep them safe from moths and moth larva. I would not want to see my beautiful yarns all eaten away.
🧶🧡
Glad you came by!
I think maybe your cake mix could have been too old. It sounds like a rough day but if your daughter is happy and it sounds like she is then I would count it as a success. I hope tomorrow goes a little smoother for you
Thank you. Just tired out. Going to eat some healthy food, drink some water and sleep a bit.
