Thank you for mentioning the music. I always wonder. I try to find new songs each week to make it interesting and it takes time, lol. I love that I can make friends in the UK. Maybe someday I can travel there, but I'm such a homebody!! I appreciate your support!
I really love the big yellow jellyfish, - love the bright colors, - and as always... THE EYES... On everything, - just CUTE, CUTE, CUTE... The bottom part of the giant white crocodile made me think of an "eccentric" vase, - like a piece of art hehe... Thinking about making more than one video, - I really love how consistent you are, - I am looking forward to every Friday, - and if there suddenly is one more video from you, that would be a treat, - like a bonus. I guess that may be better for you, - not to feel the pressure of having to post twice a week? Anyhow... Thanks for another amazing video 🥰❤
@@thecozybuckeye yes...lots of them. Never one quit that big,but I find they are starting to slow down for me. I'm in Nova Scotia Canada. I use to make character hats too for several years but they really slowed down drastically (I find our winter's are not as cold as they use to be so people couldn't really be bothered to spend the money on the hats. It was hard to even get 25.00 for one at the end. So thankful to have found the plushies 💚
Hi April, thank you for taking the time to produce your great video's, I love them and love how much you share with us. While you were talking of custom orders I began to wonder why you don't do "cat hats". I loved the Boston Terrier one you designed and that's what made me think of all these cat lovers in need of a custom hat. You never fail to amaze me, your designs are awesome Hope you feel better soon. love n hugs Sheila x P.S. Loved the nails :0)
Hey Sheila! I do have a Siamese cat hat. I also do a cartoon character Hissy in my Etsy shop. I actually have an order for Hissy so I'll be sharing it soon, but I'll pull the Siamese out so you can see it in an upcoming video. My Siamese hat has been a staple for years at the markets. I will keep your suggestion in mind though because Cat hats are popular. Thank you so much for your care and support. Love and hugs back at you!
I’m sorry you’ve had a tough time, life can sure be rough. But your friends here definitely understand so don’t feel you have to apologize! Always glad to see when you have a video so I can “hang out with a friend” while I crochet! Hoping to join this beautiful crochet TH-cam community soon myself so I’ll be doing some research because I have no clue where to begin 😂
Thank you! I love hanging out with you too. I can’t wait to see you on here. Let me know when you do join us. You should definitely do it. Let me know if you have any questions. What held me back for so long was being unsure of the editing process. As far where to start though, vlogging is easy & most liked. Where were you thinking of starting?
Crocheting while I watch/listen, so we are hanging out! 😉🧡 btw, when I’m able and permitted, to be out and around people again, I am SO coming to one of your markets! You’ve been warned, neighbor 😉. Sending hugs xx ☺️🫶🏻🧶
Thank you! Life has its challenges at times that's for sure. I appreciate your comment more than you know. I hope you and I both have an amazing week this week!!
I hope you get to feeling better soon 🙏Your test pattern turned out so good! That hat for Gary turned out awesome and I loved your jelly fish soooo cute!!!❤
Yaay, so glad you tried Sweet Snuggles Lite! All of the jelly fish turned out so darling and I loved the orange one! All the details were amazing. Feel better soon!
April, I hope you feel better soon. Get some rest! Everything will wait, so don't wear yourself out. As usual, all your makes are adorable. Enjoy your weekend.
Thank you so much for your care and support! I always say I'll rest when I'm dead, lol. But really I'm getting older and need more sleep, haha. I used to never ever nap! I hope you are well and enjoyed your weekend. Much love to you!
Love your videos be kind to yourself you have a hard 5 weeks coming up. 2 videos a week is not easy but you could do an hour live instead of an extra edited video then it's an hour to do with no extras. Love the Croc hope your feeling better soon❤
Thank you so much! I have yet to do a live. It's a great idea. I do like to be able to edit though, lol. Thank you so much for your care and support. I appreciate you more than you know! Life can be hard sometimes.
Hi April, 🪼I made the Oak and Marlow Bloom Jellyfish and it’s amazing! I used Posh and it came out large with wonderful long tentacles. I posted a picture under the reviews. 😊 I want to do one in Bernat, too. Love yours and will be checking out that pattern. 😁 Love your videos! ❤
Thank you so much! I'll have to check out this pattern! I love love love the jellies!! They are so fun to make! Thank you so much for sharing in your comment and for your support!
Hello, I love your videos. Thanks for inspiring me on using embroidery eyes. I just embroidered eyes for the first time on one of my loaf cats .. a gift I'm making for my soon to be 2 nephew.. 😊 You should try Bernat new yarn Blanket Mist-ical.. 220 yards .. is so soft
I saw it online recently and on TH-cam. I should try it, lol. Thank you so much for commenting and sharing your journey with embroidery. I appreciate your support! Much love!
You are amazing with hats! That looks like a Boston terrier! You are so creative and talented! Thank you for sharing! Do you have patterns for any of your hats? Thanks Shawna
OMG!! I love the crock and the jellyfish. I love big twist plush yarn. It's crazy that one skein only got 1/2 of the crock, I bought a skein and made several plushies with it. I thought I used a 8 mm hook too but, maybe I used a 7mm. Or did you use that yarn for something else first? Anyway, sorry you had a rough week, hope next week will be better!
Thank you so much for your comment and support. I only used the skein of mint on the crock. I thought for sure it would be enough when I started, but Nope! I used an 8 mm hook. It's so chunky and I crochet tight. I appreciate you and hope you have a great week.
Hello! All of the hats are my designs. I'm hoping after my fall markets to start trying to get some hats to pattern testers!! Thank you so much for your comment and your support!
@@thecozybuckeye oh that sounds great. I crochet mostly baby blankets and now I’m wild about crocheting amigurumi but I’d love to try hats. Thanks. Have a blessed day. I would not being one of your testers. Love your vedios.
I struggled a little bit with this too! I think I may add an extra row or two in the legs in the next MMM lovey/plushie I make. It almost seems like you don't quite have enough length to make the knot without it being super tight. I couldn't find any videos on TH-cam so I zoomed way into the images on the pattern, tied off the legs and then just wiggled the knot around until it was semi-loose and appeared to be in the correct please. Would love to hear how April did hers!
You create masterpieces with yarn . Your work is amazing
Awe!! Thank you so much. That is so sweet. It is truly a labor of love and years and years of practice!
That crocodile is so adorable!! You are so talented!!!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment and your support!
Never apologise, love listening to you no seeing your makes, the orange jellyfish is fabulous
Thank you so much for your sweet words and for your continued support!! Much love!
I literally gasped when I saw your Boston terrier hat 😍🤩
Awe! Thank you! I love the dog hats!
I always enjoy watching your videos, your choice of music is smashing too.✨ Your hats are amazing……love them all.✨ Best wishes from UK

I love your giant jellyfish! Especially the orange 🧡💙

I used Bernat bright orange I think for the Giant Jelly!
Hay April, I love your hats!! What type of yarn do you use, they are so cozy.
Hello! It's the Loops and Threads from Michaels and it's called Impeccable. I double my hats to make them super cozy.
Oh my I love your hats wow that Boston terrier is so beautiful. Do you have patterns or do you make them up yourself ?
Hello! All of the hats are my designs. I'm hoping after my fall markets to start trying to get some hats to pattern testers!! Thank you so much for your comment and your support!

I have a question for you on the moma made minis. How to tie the legs I just am not successful. Help !!! ?

I will try to help with this in a vlog soon. Great idea! Thank you so much for your comment and your support!
I'll try to talk about this in a video coming up. Great idea!
