Thank you very much, dear Mandy, for this video. I'm just discovering embroidery in general and slow stitching in particular. I like how you explain things and how we can put all our feelings and what moves us during the day into the 5 minute embroidery timeout. It is a wonderful and mindful way to be creative. Thank you for your work.🙏
Aww, you're very welcome. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, taking just 5 minutes for ourselves; to slow down and stitch, can make a world of difference to our day. Thank you so much for watching, and for your lovely comment 🥰
Hello Mandy, Yes, you are correct in the fact that this is such a calming influence on a person. Your lovely voice and soft music makes it even more lovely
Thank you so much for taking time to remind us of one of the reasons we stitch. To finish, of course, but also because it is an expression of a bit of ourselves that remains just for us. Thanks for taking the time to show us what you're working on.🙋🙂
I'm so sorry to hear that you have been having a stressful time of it lately. Thank you so much for your comment. It means such a lot to hear that the videos I create can at least bring some calmness to your life. Wishing you calmer times ahead 🥰
Hi Mandy, yes I certainly stitched along watching this vid ..... even though it's from a year ago ...... Loved it 🤗🤗🤗 Cheers from OZ 🇦🇺😎 Just going to sit,stitch & binge-watch you 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Hello Pauline! It's lovely to hear you were stitching alongside me on my video! I do hope you enjoy stitching along to more as you "binge-watch" me! 🤣🤣🥰
Hi, Mandy! Nice to know your name. I follow you on instagram and found your TH-cam channel by chance. Soooo happy! I love your simple soothing stitching 💙💚❤️💛🧡🖤💜♥️💗
I really love your work. Unfortunately I am one who does not feel slow stitching is relaxing. It is hand sewing to me, and the only reason I do it is because I can control every stitch. Just wondering if anyone else sees it as purely a way to express yourself, and not as a relaxing craft.
Thanks so much for your comment Lesley. It's a great point you have made. Not everyone will find it relaxing; I don't always find it relaxing! There have been times when I've really felt quite stressed and thought there would not be much point in stitching at that time, but somehow I do, and I find it so helpful to off load any negative feelings and stress into my stitching time. I find it's such a good way to express ourselves and our feelings! I don't think it really matters whether we feel relaxed in slow stitching or not; we should take whatever we want or need from our stitching, however we want to do it, and that's where we can all benefit🙂
@OhSewMindful yes, I agree. I must say though, that your work is probably the nicest I have seen, and it looks "calm." Maybe if I stop playing rock music, and played something a bit less "frenzied" my actions might match the music.😂🤣
@@lesley6884 Thank you so much for your very kind words about my work. It really means a lot! Others have also said that it has a "calm" feel to it, so it's nice to know! 🥰 Now, there is totally nothing wrong with listening to rock music, I love to listen to it myself, but maybe not whilst having a calm, mindful stitching session! 🤣 Mind you, I would expect your stitching to have a lot of interesting movement to it, it might be good fun to try that one day! We could experiment to see how listening to different genres of music affects how we stitch! 😂
