Dear Helen- what a lot of fun you’ve been having with your Big Project- and isn’t that just wonderful! Plus we get to see it all in its fabulous detail 😊 the best use of time as it makes everyone happy- thank you so very much ❤
Thank you Elizabeth - I'm so looking forward to showing you the final video of the Big Project! xx
Welcome to Acorn and Oakleaf! Thanks you for letting us share in you daily activities, Helen. I am so enjoying the poems and the little surprises your Big Project holds and all the other little advent additions (love that mushroom). You always make my day brighter🥰
Thank you Trudy! xx
You are such a lovely talented lady ! All your wonderful things that you make, how warmly you read the beautiful poems and your piano playing. You have certainly made Christmas very special for me this year at a time when I really needed it. Thank you and I will definitely be watching the videos again in the new year to keep being inspired to continue my crafting. Thank you so much Helen, you are an inspiration.😊
@@maureenstamp1305 Thank you for saying such lovely things, Maureen. I’m so glad that I’ve been here at a time that was helpful for you. xx
@ I have looked forward to each day and you are the first video in my You tube feed. I am hoping to watch all of your videos in 2025, and am definitely inspired to experiment with my crocheting. It’s usually granny square blankets that I make and I hope to make some little animals. Also, I have recommended you to all my family and friends . Thank you 😊
As long as you're happy to make them, it doesn't matter how long the projects take. I'm giving myself a shake about this, too. 👍🏻😊❤️
That's absolutely right - it's good to remind ourselves of this! Thanks Pamela xx
That was just lovely Helen. I have been thoroughly enjoying every morning of your advent videos. Thank you so much for doing these for us. It is lovely to have your little chat to look forward to when we get up these dark mornings. ❤

I cannot wait to see the reveal of the Big Project, your sewing is so neat and the little beds are gorgeous as are all the items you have made. Yes please to more of the memoirs. I love reading / seeing life in past generations. Thank you as always Helen, take care =-)
@@lorrainerichardson3280 Thank you Lorraine - I have had a lot of fun making this big project! And I will be happy to read a bit more of my grandfather’s memoirs. xx
Thank you Helen. Don’t beat yourself up. Just know we enjoy following your inspiration. The joy is in the making ,it doesn’t have to be finished by a precise time. It is a work In progress.. your daily vlogmass has been so welcoming each morning as I too am poorly at the moment ❤️
@@dclare2300 I’m sorry to hear that you’re poorly but glad that I’ve helped to keep you company. And I am going to enjoy having my current big project continuing on for a bit longer. xx
I am beside myself with glee seeing all the little creations for the big project!!! I cannot wait to see it all in the big reveal.🤗😍😘
Acorn and Oak Leaf are perfect names. Thanks for sharing. Hope you get all your Christmas preparations done with time to enjoy the season. See you tomorrow.
@@karenk380 Thanks Karen - it’s been such a lot of fun working on this big project and I’m looking forward to giving you a little tour of it soon! I’m glad that the squirrels finally have names! xx
Glorious selection of poems. What lovely names for mother and baby squirrels. The detailed work of the Big Project is really wonderful and can indeed be ongoing. What a dear little gnome family. All the furniture is marvellous and so enjoyable to watch as you fashion each piece with thread and needle. Thank you, Helen. (It would be great to have more extracts from your grandfather's writings).💌
Thank you Helen - and I will be happy to read more extracts from my grandfather's memoir! xx
Such a festive jumper, Helen!! It looks great! Yes, please continue reading your grandfather’s memoir. Your creative ideas bring a lot of joy. The big project is endearing. ❤️
@@lindaapplegate4559 Thank you Linda! I will look forward to sharing more of my grandfather’s memoir. xx

Thank you Linda! I had a lot of pleasure creating these vlogs! x
Good morning Helen - another lovely Vlogmas. Little Acorn is very cute and your Big Project is coming together well. The poems and footage are very apt for this season. Wouldn’t it be great if the world was at peace 😊🎄🐿️❤️
@@andreamagill7034 Thanks Andrea - peace would be a wonderful gift to so many people in our world. Xx
So wonderful tonight! You look splendid in that sweet Robin jumper! (Also love you in the blue with stripes.) The big project is so fun to watch growing. All of the little animals gathered together are simply charming. I can't imagine how much time and care you have put into this vlogmas! I really enjoyed these poems. Thank you so much!
@@shariwitt1977 Aww thank you so much Shari! I think the hours I’ve spent have been many… but very enjoyable ones, helped by the fact that I have a very tolerant and understanding family! xx
Such lovely names for the squirrels and i can't wait for the big reveal you have worked so hard for us all ❤❤
Thank you Elaine! I am very excited to show you the final Big Project video! xx
Good morning Helen , the big project is coming along well , i love the little beds with their hearts on the pillows , you have alot of patience to sew such small things , look forward to seeing the completed project in the new year . I think Acorn and Oakleaf are fitting names for the mother and baby squirrels, take time for you and dont try to fit everything in before Christmas , you must preare for you and your family first 😊
@@wendylinsdell3681 Thank you Wendy - I am looking forward to a well-earned rest once we’ve got to the end of Vlogmas! xx
Thank you Helen for your daily vlogs, I have so enjoyed watching you make all the furniture, animals etc., there has been so much lovely things. I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2025. 🥰
@@katana164 Thank you so much for all of your appreciative comments! Sending my best wishes of the season to you too! xx
These are the best poems.
@@jessiemacintosh6627 Thanks Jessie - I’m glad you enjoyed them! xx
I love the names for the squirrels! Well chosen. You are doing so many different things, something had to give. Your big project is wonderful! And I will continue to enjoy your big projects ( and the not so big ones! ) x
@@pamjones3377 Thank you, Pam. I am very fortunate that I have a very understanding husband! This has meant that I could spend many hours on my Vlogmas projects and videos! xx
Hi Helen I love the woodland house, so much work but worth it. Yes please to more of the reading of the memoirs. Take care as always =-)
@@lorrainerichardson3280 Thank you Lorraine! xx
You are so talented!!!thanks for sharing your big project with us. WOW!!!! And I always enjoy your poetry!
Thank you Margaret! xx
Snap, I am a fan of the Christmas jumper and have the same Robin one in my collection. The big project is really coming along at a pace now, so many little bits and bobs. Look forward to the big reveal 🎉xx
@@linbourne8731 Ooo how lovely that you have a matching robin jumper! Thanks Lin. xx
This video has made my day! Your big project “bits and bobs” are wonderful! And THANKYOU for highlighting the Christmas story. It’s too often forgotten in the busyness o the Christmas season! Hugs from Canada - soon to be in Yorkshire!
@@piano56781 Thank you so much for your appreciation! And how exciting that you are coming to Yorkshire! xx
Good morning Helen. Can't quite believe that Christmas is only a few days away.
The woodland house is adorable. Those little beds are the cutest.
I hope you manage to get your Christmas prep done.
Mr A helped me with the wrapping yesterday. Bit of pottering today, not much else. Being poorly at this time of year isn't helpful!
Have a good day. Xx
@@angelaholcroft4515 Thanks Angela! It’s strange that however much we are reminded of the dates as we go along through December, Christmas always seems to be spring itself upon us! I do hope you get your own preparations done, too, and that you’re soon feeling much better. xx
Beautiful ending to today's post Helen. Think the big project should be renamed the mega big project, so many hours must have gone into it, reminds me of when I built and decorated my dolls house, a labour of love. Pefect names for the mummy and baby squirrel.
@@GillianMcGee-eh9hs Thank you Gillian - I think you are right about “mega big”! 😂 xx
I loved seeing you stitch little felt and yarny creations, getting ready to move into the woodland house. You really are a marvel doing all this to entertain this lovely little community on the run-up to Christmas. My own advent project is painting Harriet de Winton's daily miniature pictures - never having painted before til you inspired me to try earlier this year, I am quite pleased with my beginner pictures. I am also sewing a Christmas block panel 'stitchalong' by Louise Nichols Textiles and Life TH-cam channel. This won't quite be finished by Christmas, but hopefully by the end of December. Luckily I did what you mentioned today and did present and card shopping right at the start of December so now I have nothing to do but Christmassy crafting and enjoying your vlogmas videos! Thank you again and yes, more of Grandfather Ketteridge's memoirs please.
@@rachelknight1064 I’m so glad that you’ve been enjoying Harriet’s watercolour advent painting project - I have done it a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed it! (I wisely tried not to fit it in this year… 😂) Your sewing project sounds good, too! I have thoroughly enjoyed creating these Vlogmas videos but really looking forward to a break! xx
Thanks for the poems.
You are very welcome, Denise xx
Hi Helen your robin jumper is lovely , the woodland tree house looks wonderful x
@@whathayleymade5851 Thank you Hayley! xx
Wonderful 🙏💕
@@carols_crafting_space Thank you Carol! xx
It doesn't matter how long something takes its the process that makes you happy, and enjoy doing to share with others hugs
You are absolutely right! Thank you! xx
I adore your sweater! Very cute! I'm glad you have enjoyed this new adventure of vlogging and it hasn't become a chore. I try to get my shopping done before Halloween and the bonus is that sometimes I forget what I bought so it's a fun surprise for both of us 😂 Your project is coming along beautifully! 🧡
@@AntisocialAuntie Thank you! And yes - it’s been fun but if I want to do it again I need to do as you have done, and get all the shopping done before Halloween! xx
@mousiemakespod And you inspired me to write up my Christmas postcards really early next year - I don't have to mail them before Halloween but I can definitely write them!
Aww i love the squirrels names very cute x i love your robin jumper. Yes!please share more memoirs ,so interesting to hear. I love your big project,the mice are adorable i have a lot of love for the one in the stripy jumper.I do hope you have a wonderful christmas helen xx cant wait to see your journey in 2025 x
Thank you Helen! xx
Hello darling, firstly I love the jumper. I also love your little adventure that you have been making and putting on the tree. Where can I buy the pattern? I do love the names that is so cute well chosen. I loved the poems thank you so much Helen. Lots of love for a beautiful Ballarat darling. God bless.💕🥰🌲🇦🇺
Hi Tammy, and thank you! The pattern for the knitted tree toys can be found here: suestratford.co.uk/products/merry-knitmas-advent-calendar-pattern-booklet and the crocheted tree is a free pattern available here: www.yarnspirations.com/products/lily-sugarn-cream-christmas-trees?srsltid=AfmBOooi4SeJZurY9ydU-S5dJiy46JaqMfEP_Sqt-Yxy43M6C5oKdvdi 💕💕🤗🎄🎄🎶🎹
Hello Helen. I love your Christmas jumper. Did you knit it? Thank you for sharing the poems pointing to the true meaning of Christmas. x
Thank you Pamela. I'm afraid the lovely Christmas jumper is one that I bought a few years ago... I'm glad you enjoyed the poems today. xx
Hi Helen, your big project might be renamed to huge project. You’ve put so much work into it, and still more to do it seems. It’s amazing. What imagination and talent. I hope your regular Xmas plans come together on time. Your family may ban you from YT if their Christmas suffers 🤣. You’ve created a wonderful series for vlogmas. The poems were lovely. It’s sad that there is so little peace in the world. Just a couple more days my friend. I hope you get a rest over Christmas week. 🥰🧑🎄🎄
@@Izzyic7505 Thanks Isabel - you are quite right about renaming the big project as “huge”! 😂 I am so lucky that my family is very tolerant of my YT/Vlogmas obsession!!! If I decide to do a daily Vlogmas again I MUST get all the gift-buying done well in advance of December!!! xx
