Jerri, you are an absolute treasure on TH-cam. I always learn something, I’m always comforted with a sense of home whenever I see you in your happy place, or just enjoying and tending to your garden. And your voice is so lovely and soothing.I so appreciate all the time and energy you take to bless us!❤
I'm an avid reader, lover of classics, and school librarian so this completely warmed my heart. The Wind in the Willows is wonderful. Your frogs are turning out beautifully and I so enjoyed this journey through all of the various illustrations. Much love
Oh Jeri...how wonderfully delightful to watch you creating! All the frog/toad information was very very intetesting as well. Your voice, talent, and appreciation for nature keep me coming back for more. Thank you for your videos and for including your viewers.
Love this post - with sleeping bees and watching the frogs come to life. I can already see their individual personalities taking shape. I thing children's books are the best reading. Your videos are so soothing in this weary world. Thank you, thank you. Happy November~
Jeri, each segment of your gentle video is marvelous. ❤ Your voice, the lovely shots of the bees as they snooze away the hours on the happy little sunflowers, and your passion for both needlefelting and books made an excellent escape from the tumalt of the world. For a brief time, i found myself in a gentler and quieter world. Thank you. God bless.
Спасибо, Джерри! У Вас замечательная коллекция книг с красивыми иллюстрациями! И другие Ваши коллекции тоже замечательны! Обожаю Ваши видео! Я тоже люблю собирать коллекции и мастерить и восхищаюсь Вашим разнообразным интересам! Ваш дом и сад очень уютны и необычны! Благодарю за вдохновение! ❤❤❤❤❤
Everyone one of your videos is just so fabulous! My daughter loved frogs. She didn't have a dolly. She had a stuffed frog 😁 as her childhood companion. Thank you for sharing your needle felting process. I enjoy watching you work the wool into beautiful creatures.
I have attended several nature centers with my granddaughter and the information you gave on frogs is more interesting and informative than I have heard anywhere. I will be sharing your video with our nature center. I think children would be interested to know frogs eyes help with their eating. Your videos are wonderful and full of beauty and information. The felted frogs are going to be wonderful!!
Your frogs turned out so well!❤ It would be so wonderful if you read some books online! I throughly enjoyed my visit here with you- Thank you dear friend for all you do and share with us! God Bless you both always❤❤❤❤🕊🤗🙏💐💐💐💝🌿🍁🍂
I know it's halloween, but tonight I watched one of my new favorite christmas specials which is "Moles Christmas" & then I see you uploaded a video regarding the "wind in the willows"! And how cool are those sweet bees who knew they sleep in the flowers! BTW your felt frogs are adorable!
Wonderful presentation! Love the frogs, have since childhood, and your felted ones are adorable. Also enjoy sleeping bees in the garden. The books and illustrations are lovely! Thank you for a fascinating video.
It's always such a delightful experience when you share these kind of videos. We get to see your wonderful talent and hear some history on the subjects. Your frogs are adorable. Those sweet sleeping bees! Wonder what kind of turtle that shell belonged to? It looked to be in very good condition. I've never read the Wind in the Willows. My curiosity is picked, will have to find a copy or two so I can read it. Thank you for all your hard work in putting these videos together. I know it's not an easy task to do. But I do so enjoy them. Stay blessed sweet lady. 💜
❤❤❤ I absolutely LOVED this episode! ❤❤❤. I often choose books because of the illustrations especially children’s books. I end up buying two copies, one for my grandchildren and one for me! I love your felted creatures. You really work hard to get the anatomy and the personality just right. Your process is really interesting. To top it all off , a visit to the sleeping bees! Wow , I’ve only seen one before ,never an entire garden full. What a treat! I do not have any of your books and that’s just not acceptable! Where do I find them for purchase? Thank you again for a wonderful adventure! I am just delighted! ❤❤❤
Thank you ! You’re are a well of information! I love The Wind Of The Willows. For the first time as an adult I stumbled a couple of years ago. Wonderful story .💕💕💕👏
Thank you Jeri I would love to see the Tasha Tudor illustrated copy. I love her work. The frogs are looking good can't wait to see them dressed in all their finery. God bless you and yours x
Such a fun and informative video! I always enjoy the history and research you share. Lovely little frogs! Toad from Wind in the Willows has always been a favorite character of mine. 🐸🐝🍄
Oh my goodness Jeri, those little sleeping bees are just beautiful, what a treat! So glad you didn't choose to felt the 15" version of a toad, it may have taken a lot of wool and time! 🐸
Love it Jeri…your craftsmanship with those frogs👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️. All the frog facts and the beautiful illustrations combined with your lovely narration 🤗. I can see why you are collecting all those different publications of “The Wind in the Willows “ and how the illustrations totally undergird the story. So special, thank you. Your own illustrations and books are just as amazing and beautiful. Bless you.🧡
I could spend many hours exploring the artwork of these illustrators, so good! I learn much about technique and composition just by carefully observing their work.
♥️♥️♥️🌻🌷🪻⚘️🌹❤❤❤🐞🦋🪲🐢🐸🐦🐇🐈⬛🐕🐓🪰❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ DEAR. ONE..... I SIMPLY CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH JOY AND PEACE YOUR DELIGHTFUL CHANNEL BRINGS... I LEARN. SOOOO VERY MUCH FROM YOU. TODAY AS YOU WERE SHARING THE VARIOUS. BOOKS WITH US. I THOUGHT HOW. VERY DELIGHTFUL IT WOULD BE IF EVERY SO OFTEN YOU WOULD READ TO US YOUR FOLLOWERS AGAIN.... THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS SCOTT'S WIFE VICKIE
Thank you, for sharing this with us! I have 'wind in the willows' audiobook. Its wonderful to listen to while im falling asleep. Your frogs are wonderful!
I'm always learning from you. The felted frogs are going to be a joy to see when done. Jeri, I hope you do a reading from the great book 'The Wind in the Willow.'🐸 🐸🐝🐝💙💚💛
The other day I had a bee sleeping on a flower. It was there 2 days, so I thought it was dying. I brought it in, and didn't take long to wake up and move about. So I put it back out on the plant. When I worked as an art teacher, I did a lit of frog/toad lessons. It was fun, and the children loved and learned a lot. The children loved mimicing the blinking their eyes to swallow their pretend food. Can't wait to see the finished and clothed frogs.
Greetings Jeri! Such a wonderful video, I loved how many sleeping bees you have, I too have seen them on my zinnias this year, aren’t they adorable? Can you imagine that I have never read the Wind and the Willows? I will definitely read it this winter. Your frogs are amazing! I am in awe of your talent, you really know how to bring them to life! Thank you for sharing, you really are a delight for all of us. Can’t wait to see their outfits! 🐸
The felted frogs are wonderful. They turned out really well and am excited to see them “dressed”. I’m amazed how fast you can make them. Oh, I love frogs singing, especially in the Spring. This year, our neighbor’s pond had quite a few and I opened the windows just to hear them. To me and probably to you too, it’s such a joyful sound to hear and seems like the introduction to Spring. You are lucky that your pond produces so many. Where I live, the darn city has sprayed herbicides around and the runoff has gone into our pond in our backyard which is way back. We used to have tons of frogs, but since they started spraying on the side street that is near the pond, the population dropped dramatically. I keep praying that they’ll return back there. Thank you for the introduction to all your “Wind and The Willows” books. I too am a big fan and used to try and read it every Fall, as for some reason, it seems like a Fall book that you just want to tuck into. I hope you can eventually get a Tasha Tudor one, as it is very lovely too and is the one that I received first in the 4th grade and inspired me to love watercolors. You have a great collection though and I’m going to try and get a hold of one or two of them. I never knew that bees liked dahlias. I’m glad you have so many!😊
Thats a shame about your frogs but I trust that they will return in full force, Yes, I do need the Tasha T copy and the Arthur Rackham to complete my collections.
Wow, I've never seen that before. When we lived in PA I loved falling asleep to the songs of the frogs in our pond. Our cats never bothered the frogs or toads. What a cool gift Viola brought to you. I'll look forward to seeing the finished frogs. I did learn quite a bit while listening to you. Thanks.
I love sleeping bees, I have flowers that are still blooming all around the yard, and the bees are always there. I have some flowers near where I park my car, and one day on my way to water aerobics, one had hitched a ride on me, was chilly that morning. I ended up putting him in bathing suit bag, and carried him back home to my flowers. Yes, I did learn some things about frogs and toads. You are a treasure, I so appreciate you!
so nice to watch this halloween evening and started researching frogs eating their skin and how to needlefelt. thank you as always for your work. ps-love your illustrations in your books.
I adore Michael Hague's illustrations, and have collected quite a few of his children's books (though not TWitW yet), so it's lovely to hear that you love his work too! Some of his Christmas books are really gorgeous 🎄
Jerri, I have never seen sleeping bees! This was so lovely and wonderful. I am a retired elementary school teacher. I love children’s literature,but I had never read, “ The Wind in the Willows”, until two weeks ago. I was going through my books and came across a paperback copy, illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard, copyright 1961. I was intrigued as I investigated this title and also dismayed to learn that it had been abridged several times. This a practice that I disagree with. As usual, I enjoyed your video immensely. Thank you for all you bring to them.
Thank you very much! I love all your videos, always a feast for the eyes, a big inspiration and very informative as well, but knowing about authors and illustrators is a treasure! Thank you for sharing your collection and your knowledge! ❤ I love all your work ❤❤
This was just so wonderful Jeri. Wouldn't the sleeping bees on your flowers make for a great children's story? I loved learning about the frog facts. I had no idea that frogs couldn't swallow with their eyes open...who knew? Your felted frogs are turning out to be so charming. I can't wait to see them all dressed up. Thanks for the video. Denise fron California.
Oh the bees! I've never seen so many sleeping in flowers. Just a few here and there. Will have to grow some of the sunflowers and dahlias. I confess I've never read The Wind In The Willows but I surely will now. I'm on the search! Would love to see more about books from you. The information about the frogs. Oh My! What a lovely video this is. Watching you work and creating the frogs was magic. Can't wait to see them dressed up in their finery. Thank you so very much. Blessings.
Yes! I find bumbles sleeping in all of my Dahlias! They are not giving up until the Dahlia's do. Your Dahlias are so beautiful. Will you be saving seed from them? I bought some Floret Dahlia seeds this year and am saving seed from them for next year. That David Austin rose is gorgeous! Oh! Those felted Frogs! I absolutely adore them, Jeri! Very interesting information on frogs. I had a little pond with waterfall in my backyard in Michigan and took many, many pictures of them in the Summer. When winter came along I was always worried for them but the next year they were back. Now I know how they survived those cold winters! So enjoyed the entire video.
Your videos have become my happy place. You are so peaceful! I just voted and it was a mess. So stressed! So now I'm going to sit quietly and watch your beautiful videos for a while. Thank you!❤
My heart skipped a beat when I saw the illustrator, Michael Hague, in Wind in the Willow! I have that book because I too loved the illustrations. I have cut out most of the art and have them in frames throughout my house to admire my “friends”! And please consider more videos about children’s illustrators.
I love your coop! I think you are right about hauling the chickens up to the coop. It would help if you could contain them in the coop for a few days. You might get more eggs that way as well, or they may be molting. Love your videos and love your artwork! I would be honored to hang a print of yours in my home!
I loved this video. The bees are wonderful. Gods creations are amazing. Jeri you are so talented and creative. I just ordered your Noahs Ark panel to quilt and I can not wait to add it to my antique doll and teddy grouping in my studio. I look so forward to your videos. You are so uplifting.
So enjoy your videos. Love the fact bees sleep in the flowers!! Your frogs are so sweet. Can’t wait to see them in their finery. Enjoyed the review of the many illustrators of Wind in the Willows. Tasha Tudor is one of my favorite. I have the Secret Garden but have not seen her version of Wind in the Willows. Thank you again for an enjoyable video😊
I love seeing your needlework pieces. They are darling! I've also managed to get a couple of your books from ebay and the illustrations and stores are charming. One of them had been signed by you. I have no grandchildren, so I purchased your books for my own pleasure and I would recommend them for adults as well as children.
I love frogs! A 70 pound frog...I can't even imagine. The bees in all the flowers were absolutely beautiful. Would be awesome to molt and look young again lol. I have the Wind in the Willows illustrated by Robert Ingpen and it is beautiful. You definitely could illustrate this book and do it justice!
Thank you for another inspiring video. I found several of Beatrix Potter books. I really haven’t taken the time to look at them, but after this video, I am going to look at The Tale of Mr Jeremy Fisher. Which I discovered today I had, because of your wonderful video, thank you Jeri. I also love frogs and so appreciated you taking time to share.
Thats what it was like on my dahlias Jeri! They never left them and were crazy over them all summer long and into to the fall. The frogs are so cute! …Brian
It is such a joy to find others who delight in the simple things like bees and frogs. Thank you for sharing your words, your talents, and your world.
and lizards, ladybugs and fireflies!
Jerri, you are an absolute treasure on TH-cam. I always learn something, I’m always comforted with a sense of home whenever I see you in your happy place, or just enjoying and tending to your garden. And your voice is so lovely and soothing.I so appreciate all the time and energy you take to bless us!❤

Jeri, thank you for another magical video. Sleeping bees. Like something out of a fairy tale.
Adorable those bees sleeping!
I love when you talk about books and show your collections. Would love to hear more about your favorite books!

Always such a treat to watch ☺️. I just love your frogs, how clever you are Jeri, such a talented lady. Thank you xx

What a wonderful video. I learned so much about frogs and toads. You’re a talented artist ❤️
Yes, more illustrations and books please! I love all kinds. ("'Stellaluna" for instance.)💛🐸🐝💛
Thank you, for sharing this with us! I have 'wind in the willows' audiobook. Its wonderful to listen to while im falling asleep. Your frogs are wonderful!

Greetings Jeri! Such a wonderful video, I loved how many sleeping bees you have, I too have seen them on my zinnias this year, aren’t they adorable? Can you imagine that I have never read the Wind and the Willows? I will definitely read it this winter. Your frogs are amazing! I am in awe of your talent, you really know how to bring them to life! Thank you for sharing, you really are a delight for all of us. Can’t wait to see their outfits! 🐸
I'll be making little hats all day....
The felted frogs are wonderful. They turned out really well and am excited to see them “dressed”. I’m amazed how fast you can make them.
Oh, I love frogs singing, especially in the Spring. This year, our neighbor’s pond had quite a few and I opened the windows just to hear them. To me and probably to you too, it’s such a joyful sound to hear and seems like the introduction to Spring. You are lucky that your pond produces so many. Where I live, the darn city has sprayed herbicides around and the runoff has gone into our pond in our backyard which is way back. We used to have tons of frogs, but since they started spraying on the side street that is near the pond, the population dropped dramatically. I keep praying that they’ll return back there.
Thank you for the introduction to all your “Wind and The Willows” books. I too am a big fan and used to try and read it every Fall, as for some reason, it seems like a Fall book that you just want to tuck into. I hope you can eventually get a Tasha Tudor one, as it is very lovely too and is the one that I received first in the 4th grade and inspired me to love watercolors. You have a great collection though and I’m going to try and get a hold of one or two of them.
I never knew that bees liked dahlias. I’m glad you have so many!😊
Thats a shame about your frogs but I trust that they will return in full force,
Yes, I do need the Tasha T copy and the Arthur Rackham to complete my collections.
Wind on the willows, my favorite. Looking forward to finished frogs. Soooo adorable! Good job! Great talent. Thank you sweet lady! From Texas

Our dogs never disturb the frogs either, must be those toxins.

I saved this video until I could enjoy it in my garden with coffee. Loved it.. I’m going to go see if I can find some frogs in my garden. Love this!
Mr. Badger's home is my favorite scene in the book. Just gorgeous illustrations!

Thank you very much! I love all your videos, always a feast for the eyes, a big inspiration and very informative as well, but knowing about authors and illustrators is a treasure! Thank you for sharing your collection and your knowledge! ❤ I love all your work ❤❤
Thats good to hear because I would love to do some episodes on various illustrators that I admire.
@ It will be wonderful! I’m learning a lot with you! Thank you!!!🥰
I recently purchased two of your books at our local used bookstore . I will treasure them. From Wisconsin
I am so happy to hear that!
Oh goodness! I love the felted frogs! Great work!❤
Loved this. Thank you.
Don't forget to get the dvds as well Jeri. You won't be sorry!
I’ve spent the most delightful afternoon with you today decorating your house and making frogs while I have been making figgy pudding nutcrackers!

I illustrated some sleeping bees in one of my books, without knowing anything about it at the time..funny.
I love your illustrations!!
Oh the bees! I've never seen so many sleeping in flowers. Just a few here and there. Will have to grow some of the sunflowers and dahlias. I confess I've never read The Wind In The Willows but I surely will now. I'm on the search! Would love to see more about books from you. The information about the frogs. Oh My! What a lovely video this is. Watching you work and creating the frogs was magic. Can't wait to see them dressed up in their finery. Thank you so very much. Blessings.

Yes! I find bumbles sleeping in all of my Dahlias! They are not giving up until the Dahlia's do. Your Dahlias are so beautiful. Will you be saving seed from them? I bought some Floret Dahlia seeds this year and am saving seed from them for next year.
That David Austin rose is gorgeous!

So enjoy your videos. Love the fact bees sleep in the flowers!! Your frogs are so sweet. Can’t wait to see them in their finery. Enjoyed the review of the many illustrators of Wind in the Willows. Tasha Tudor is one of my favorite. I have the Secret Garden but have not seen her version of Wind in the Willows. Thank you again for an enjoyable video😊
Absolutely must do an episode on the Secret Garden, I collect that one as well.
I agree and always loved that little niche at Disneyland!
So loved this video,,,iv found those "sleeping bees" in my garden too,,,love your frogs and all the information about them,,,,love your videos,,,,
They really are fascinating little creatures!
I love seeing your needlework pieces. They are darling! I've also managed to get a couple of your books from ebay and the illustrations and stores are charming. One of them had been signed by you. I have no grandchildren, so I purchased your books for my own pleasure and I would recommend them for adults as well as children.
I'm so glad you have my books. Many childrens books are "Everybody Books" meant for newborn to ninety!
I was going to say........ unbelievable how many ! What a wonderful gift !
I love frogs! A 70 pound frog...I can't even imagine. The bees in all the flowers were absolutely beautiful. Would be awesome to molt and look young again lol. I have the Wind in the Willows illustrated by Robert Ingpen and it is beautiful. You definitely could illustrate this book and do it justice!
I too, wish i could molt my old skin....
When I would let some of my artichokes go to flower, the bees just loved taking naps in the blooms. ☺️🌸🐝
Wonderful ❤️
Awwwww the bees... ❤❤❤❤
Always Wonderful!!
So fun! I needed this today! Can not wait to see them!
Thank you for another inspiring video. I found several of Beatrix Potter books. I really haven’t taken the time to look at them, but after this video, I am going to look at The Tale of Mr Jeremy Fisher. Which I discovered today I had, because of your wonderful video, thank you Jeri. I also love frogs and so appreciated you taking time to share.
Jeremy Fisher has a close call!
One of my all time favorites. Thank you for this. I have the Michael Hague version. I had no idea there were so many other illustrators.
Over 90!

WitW? I’ve never clicked a video so fast! 😂😉
Thats what it was like on my dahlias Jeri! They never left them and were crazy over them all summer long and into to the fall. The frogs are so cute! …Brian
