I am a displaced Scot living in the U.S. and I miss home terribly. My Dad was a Scot and my Mum was from Brighton. I miss the English countryside and all of the lovely trees and flowers. Thank you so much for sharing some of the allotment footage. It was a treat for my eyes and longing heart! Love your channel, though I rarely comment. Thank you, Janet! Much Love and Bless xoxo
Lindsey thank you for you’re lovely kind words, never any pressure to comment. I am so glad you enjoyed the allotments , they must work so hard to keep it looking so colourful and plentiful, the friendly gentleman in the flat cap was saying his favourite time is the winter when the leaves have fallen and he can look out and see the view. Of the park. We live in a very built up town so we do appreciate it so much. ❤️ ( Brighton not far from us )
Howdy, Janet! Thank you for the shout out for my Happy Bird Nest video! I just loved making that scrappy little nest. How gorgeous are the flowers you bought at the farmers' market! From here the yellow flowers look like tansy. A teasel and tansy bouquet... lovely. Here "allotments" are called "community gardens". And many communities do have them. My stepmother lives in "Chelsea"... chuckle... a section of New York City... and I found their community garden in the middle of the hustle and bustle of such a large city to be amazing. I'll have to add some "Seeds of Hope" to my "Birds of Hope" slow stitched collection! Yesterday I saw the hummingbird at the first sunflower to open in my garden! Blessings & Bubbles...ooo🌼🌼🌼
Oh Patty I love that, a teasel and tansy bouquet, it’s now hanging upside down drying. Just make sure you’re little bird of hope doesn’t eat all those seeds of hope. It is a wonderful thing to be in nature when you live in a large town /city. You’re garden is beautiful I noticed the ferns on you’re last video. happy journaling ( oh a hummingbird drinking nectar from you’re sunflower, now that was a sight ) 🌻
Sunflowers have always made me happy, and yours are no exception, Janet! 🌻 Thank you for showing us how to make these slow stitched beauties. Also, thanks for returning to the allotment so we could see all the glory of everything growing there. What a wonderful place to visit! And then, to have shopping afterward… well, that was just the cherry on top! 🍒This was an awesome video, as usual. So grateful for you! 😊❤️🐾
Oh Cat thank you so much, I was so excited when I saw the notice about an open day the other week ! after years of just peeping over the fence ! It didn’t disappoint, I thought everyone’s plots were so full of colour and goodness. It was fun to get some colourful veg to brig home too. I am so grateful for you’re encouraging words 🌻🧚♀️🐾
These flowers filled with seeds of hope are so beautiful Janet, and so gloriously whimsical.🌻 Loved how you used the gold paint and all those yummy stitches. I enjoyed seeing the allotment and all the lovely flowers growing there, looks like you all had a enjoyable time💐. Your inspire me so much, thank-you dear Janet.💖✨🧵🌻🌻
Maria thank you so much, oh you inspire me too ✨ I just can’t stop using that gold ! I couldn’t get over how beautiful the allotments were, so many flowers and produce. Have a gentle Friday 🩵🌻
I have been checking the allotments out as Freddie and I walk past, there seems to be lots growing, very green, we have had sunshine and rain. It’s good to remind ourselves isn’t it ‘ you’ve got this ‘ 🩵🫖
This video is so beautiful and calming. I really needed this today. I watched it several times. Thank you for your beautiful content and I love those flowers. Sending peace to you as well. 🌸🫖🧚♂️🩷
Janet thank you so much, I couldn’t believe how many different types of sunflowers there were. The boys enjoyed it too, we had an allotment when they were young so it bought back memories. Happy knitting and journaling 🦉🧚🏼
What a lovely community space your allotment is. Community gardens are a lovely thing to behold. Love your sunflowers of hope. They are beautiful ❤ I agree about Lizzi, she is an inspiration to watch as are you sweet Janet. Thanks for sharing your creative goodness with us. ❤
Cathy thank you, I was so amazed how neat, so full of character and produce all the plots were, and such friendly people too. Oh you’re advice I chopped my poinsettia right back put it on the sunny kitchen windowsill and it is full of new leaves now, thank 🪴 happy creating.
What beautiful flowers of hope. Hearts of love and birds and Flowers of hope. It’s so nice to think of these spreading hope and love all over the world. I love sunflowers they are so smiley and they turn towards the sun. Isn’t nature so clever. Thank you for a lovely Tuesday treat ❤❤🌼🌼🌼

Linda thank you so much, I couldn’t believe all the different types of Sunflowers at the allotments. When I walk past with Freddie, I look through the fence, things seem to be growing nicely there. Take good care Linda 😊🌻
Set a wonderfully relaxing video! The flowers are just darling and such a beautiful idea. Your golden shine is perfect! How sweet of Flo to share her fairy dust! The garden really amazing and cool, and such a wonderful place to socialize! Love all the little outtakes!
Jeanne lovely to see you, thank you for visiting. Isn’t Flo kind to share. 🧚♀️ it’s good to add a little whimsy to our projects. Happy magazine harvesting once they arrive from Ker and Amy 🐈
Kristina thank you so much. 🐝🍫 we’ll always have chocolate won’t we !! It was lovely to be out and about with the boys. Have a lovely week Kristina 🧚♀️
Finally got mine finished. All the fairy dust just made it sparkle. Love seeing it sparkle in the window. Think I will hang one outside when I go for a walk today.
Lala thank you so much, it was lovely to visit the allotments. Pop them on you’re list and you will have plenty of choices. Take good care of yourself 😊❤️
These are beautiful Janet! Lizzie is such an amazing, authentic spirit - so full of creativity (and occasionally a bit of mischief 😝 ) Birds of a feather… 🌻
Heather thank you so much. Oh Lizzi is wonderful such an inspiration, I just love using scraps 🧵 do hope you have a create week, what’s on you’re desk ?
@@janetnash I just did some fun gel prints, made a postcard to send off, and I hope to make a sunflower or two, I have some perfect scraps in mind 💚♻️💚
Yes Julie and I visited the Art Exhibition yesterday, it was all very nicely hung on the walls in the room in Rockingham. We had to pick a favourite which I did. A Lady called Julie L had this lovely beach painting with lots of shells on, it was very nice.
We have garden plots with the city as well here. At my apartment building we have plots out back. My outdoor gardening days are over though. Sar and I used to live in a cooperative housing unit and we had vegetable gardens in the back and flower garden in our front yard. We loved going out and getting the food for the day. Loved learning how to make the flowers. ❤😊 hope you’re having a great week hun
Shannon the boys and I had an allotment when they were young it’s so lovely for them to know where food comes from and know the joy of growing and nurturing plants. I know you are enjoying you’re houseplants now 🪴
Such a lovely lovely video. It was great to see all the little garden plots and the Farmers Market. I sure do miss my little garden when I was in Montana and I definitely miss going to farmers markets. So this was really a great treat for me. I love the sunflowers and I am making a slow Stitch book. I'm not with anybody who is giving me prompts so I'm just searching for ideas from whoever does slow stitching that I might put in my little Journal. I think I will use the sunflower for the cover
Judie oh a sunflower journal cover that sounds so lovely. I am glad you could come along with us to the allotments, weren’t they neat and so productive. I couldn’t believe how many types of sunflower were there. Happy stitching 🧵
Hi Janet!! These are amazing! I absolutely love your slow stitched creations . Visiting the garden allotment was so beautiful too…there was one not too far from our home in the city also!! 🥰💕🌸
Caroline thank you so much. It was a lovely family outing, the allotments had such a variety of fruit and veg and such pretty flowers, came back inspired. Happy creating this week ❤️
You wouldn't believe this Janet but at art today because one membe😢r Sharon was manning our Art Exhibition so the rest of us made clusters. A very enjoyable time we had and saved some scraps for Sharon to make some at our next meeting. I just loved yours and thank you for sharing with me. I have to say yours was excellent and gave me more ideas. Our Exhibition was in the centre of Rockingham. Julie is on duty there tomorrow. Our group is called Rockingham Visual Art Society .Julie had 2 paintings on display
Pam what fun to make clusters at art club, you will be glad when Sharon is back next week. Have you visited the art festival to see Julie’s creations ? Sending love to you and Pusscat. ❤️
I was so thrilled to see the allotment. I listened on audible a book by Cathy Bramley called "Ivy Lane" which centered around an allotment where things grow with love and care just like the vibes shown in your video. It must be a wonderful place to share with other community members. Allotments must be similar to community gardens which we have here in Canada, but perhaps we don't have as many.
Bernadine oh how wonderful I will make a note of this book to share in the community. I peeped over the allotment fence this morning whilst chatting to a little Robin. It was quiet, with a little bit of rhubarb peeping up, but I know it will start to break into growth soon with Spring just around the corner.
Here in the South we have but up North and on Scotland they have snow ❄️ seeing the first buds and shoots really does give us a sence of hope doesn’t it.
Love this Janet. I have become obsessed with slow stitching, i cant believe i havent tried it sooner, so relaxing isn't it 😊. Love your flower's so pretty x
A lovely afternoon treat!!! Enjoyed seeing your garden and, of course, Freddie!!!! Love the idea of using "Fairy Dust"! I have lots of that tiny glittery stuff (hearts, stars & flowers) and didn't know what to do with it. Thanks! 🧚🧚♂🧚♀ (Isn't it funny how the tins are almost as important as what comes in them!) (Flying Tiger was one of my favorite shops but they closed ALL of their US stores & I think Canada also. 😢)
Maryann thank you so much for you’re lovely kind words. Glad you have a little supply of fairy dust 🧚♀️✨ always comes in handy. I didn’t realise Tiger was once in the US too, I wonder if our one is still I. Town ? Have loads of fun this week, any creative plans ? 🧚♀️
@@janetnash If we're talking about the same company, they're from Copenhagen and have stores in many countries but the pandemic made a bad situation worse here in the US. They always had such good crafting stuff at very reasonable prices. I'm having my monthly zoom with my origami gal pals today and lunch with another one tomorrow. She always gifts me with excess greeting cards and calendars that she gets when she makes charitable donations and they make wonderful journal fodder. I'm having a couple of relax weeks which I need to get grounded again. Always slow stitching although last night I harvested some magazines I was gifted from a library I taught at. Tonight while watching TV I'm going to go through 2 boxes of vintage greeting cards that I got for $.25...... yes..... 25 cents!!!! Such wonderful images! I'm so scattered with what I'm doing...... a dozen projects all going on at the same time plus some much needed attention to my garden. While in Maine I harvested seaweed to compost. Processing that took all morning and I'm pooped!!!! But I hope it will help my tomatoes.🍅🍅🍅
@@maryannscheblein-dawson9202 oh yes I think the tomatoes will love the seaweed, do you have to rinse the salt away ? I tend to be scattered with many projects to choose from ! Oh do hope you have had and enjoy tomorrow to with you’re arting friends. Sounds like you got some bargains. Happy creating ❤️
Oh Janet, they're lovely! Very nice little flowers to sit by the fire and stitch in the cooler evenings coming up (which I'm not ready for). Summer is so short here in Michigan that I treasure each scorching day. The compound did you call it? How fun! I went to the farmer's market last week and had an absolutely wonderful day. What a nice time with the boys ❤ including Freddie 😊
Marti isn’t it wonderful to bring home beautiful produce, I roasted the veg and they looked so colour on the plate. Enjoy the sunshine Marti ☀️ ( you’re climate may be more like ours ) 🌻
I love the netting called tulle in the states. Your work is so engaging and enjoyable Janet. Janet did you sew Flo and friend? I loved making dolls. It got to be expensive for me due to the doll skin i loved using
Maria oh thank you so much. Oh I loved making these sunflowers 🌻 I peeped over the allotment fence yesterday when Freddie and I were on our walk to see the lovely sunflowers. A friend Julia made Flo the fairy and my Auntie made the little mouse, so cute. Are you sewing today ? 🧵
i have those small letter stamps and i always manage, once i have inked one, to have at least one side of it appear on my substrate along with the particular letter.. In your word HOPE for example i noticed in the second letter i believe it was you inked there was one side which had the letter and just one line but the other three letters came out inked side free..........I'm going to try running my stamp back and forth across the ink pad lightly as you showed here in this video vs my method of applying CPR ( lol ) to each of my stamps onto the stamp pad and then onto the substrate ...i see your technique offers a less hard handed approach. What i have been doing was wiping off the sides before pressing down... what a bother lol lol i am always learning at your vids and lives. Not only are you such a creative teacher and artist Janet but you also take us on such interesting field trips I feel so blessed to have spent time with you and Freddie in your Slowstitch whimsical sunflowers of Hope process video
Barb’ra thank you so much for popping along with us on our field trip, did you pack a rucksack contains tea and snacks ? 🌻 thank you for you’re kind words, the stamping is just pure luck and no plan !!! oh well I’ll take a happy accident. Have a lovely time creating at you’re desk this week 💚
Cheryl thank you so much, I couldn’t believe how many different types of sunflowers 🌻 there were. I keep peering over the fence to see if anything has begun to grow, will definitely go to the open day next year too. Have a restful day, see you at Beth’s later 🩵
Those chocolate bees are adorable...love the idea on the flowers. How tall were the sunflowers just guessing...Im guessing they were taller than you? Love how your son with the camera they are just gonna leave me behind now, Funny!!
Oh Bens so funny isn’t he ! The sunflowers 🌻 were tall and so many different varieties too, one of the seed heads was definitely bigger than my head !! Happy gluing ❤️

@@janetnash If we're talking about the same company, they're from Copenhagen and have stores in many countries but the pandemic made a bad situation worse here in the US. They always had such good crafting stuff at very reasonable prices. I'm having my monthly zoom with my origami gal pals today and lunch with another one tomorrow. She always gifts me with excess greeting cards and calendars that she gets when she makes charitable donations and they make wonderful journal fodder. I'm having a couple of relax weeks which I need to get grounded again. Always slow stitching although last night I harvested some magazines I was gifted from a library I taught at. Tonight while watching TV I'm going to go through 2 boxes of vintage greeting cards that I got for $.25...... yes..... 25 cents!!!! Such wonderful images! I'm so scattered with what I'm doing...... a dozen projects all going on at the same time plus some much needed attention to my garden. While in Maine I harvested seaweed to compost. Processing that took all morning and I'm pooped!!!! But I hope it will help my tomatoes.🍅🍅🍅
@@maryannscheblein-dawson9202 oh yes I think the tomatoes will love the seaweed, do you have to rinse the salt away ? I tend to be scattered with many projects to choose from ! Oh do hope you have had and enjoy tomorrow to with you’re arting friends.
Sounds like you got some bargains. Happy creating ❤️
Oh Janet, they're lovely! Very nice little flowers to sit by the fire and stitch in the cooler evenings coming up (which I'm not ready for). Summer is so short here in Michigan that I treasure each scorching day. The compound did you call it? How fun! I went to the farmer's market last week and had an absolutely wonderful day. What a nice time with the boys ❤ including Freddie 😊
Marti isn’t it wonderful to bring home beautiful produce, I roasted the veg and they looked so colour on the plate. Enjoy the sunshine Marti ☀️ ( you’re climate may be more like ours ) 🌻
I love the netting called tulle in the states. Your work is so engaging and enjoyable Janet. Janet did you sew Flo and friend? I loved making dolls. It got to be expensive for me due to the doll skin i loved using
Maria oh thank you so much. Oh I loved making these sunflowers 🌻 I peeped over the allotment fence yesterday when Freddie and I were on our walk to see the lovely sunflowers.
A friend Julia made Flo the fairy and my Auntie made the little mouse, so cute.
Are you sewing today ? 🧵
i have those small letter stamps and i always manage, once i have inked one, to have at least one side of it appear on my substrate along with the particular letter.. In your word HOPE for example i noticed in the second letter i believe it was you inked there was one side which had the letter and just one line but the other three letters came out inked side free..........I'm going to try running my stamp back and forth across the ink pad lightly as you showed here in this video vs my method of applying CPR ( lol ) to each of my stamps onto the stamp pad and then onto the substrate ...i see your technique offers a less hard handed approach. What i have been doing was wiping off the sides before pressing down... what a bother lol lol i am always learning at your vids and lives. Not only are you such a creative teacher and artist Janet but you also take us on such interesting field trips I feel so blessed to have spent time with you and Freddie in your Slowstitch whimsical sunflowers of Hope process video
Barb’ra thank you so much for popping along with us on our field trip, did you pack a rucksack contains tea and snacks ? 🌻 thank you for you’re kind words, the stamping is just pure luck and no plan !!! oh well I’ll take a happy accident. Have a lovely time creating at you’re desk this week 💚
Beautiful Video Janet, it was nice to see some of the garden market and such. The things on the line can make flowers too right?😊❤
Cheryl thank you so much, I couldn’t believe how many different types of sunflowers 🌻 there were. I keep peering over the fence to see if anything has begun to grow, will definitely go to the open day next year too. Have a restful day, see you at Beth’s later 🩵
Really I was amazed too!🤗
@@littlesistercheryliscrafti9099 they are such talented and experienced gardeners 🪴
Those chocolate bees are adorable...love the idea on the flowers. How tall were the sunflowers just guessing...Im guessing they were taller than you? Love how your son with the camera they are just gonna leave me behind now, Funny!!
Oh Bens so funny isn’t he ! The sunflowers 🌻 were tall and so many different varieties too, one of the seed heads was definitely bigger than my head !! Happy gluing ❤️

Hi Lisa, it is called Csy honey based water colour paint, hope you can find it ( we get ours from Amazon ) 🩵
