Thank you SO much, Kris! We really, really appreciate you sharing more info about our fabric with your awesome audience. Happy holidays to you and all of your viewers! (PS. Your weighted bottom comment made us laugh!) :)
Kris, you crack me up! No need to forgive you, how could you have known!! I think it would have been nice if MSQC would have included a little printed card or something to explain the backstory of the gnome so we could keep the story with the gnome to pass on for generations to come, the story really adds to his charm. I love the fact that they support small businesses and communities! That is so impressive that Tracy from Splash Fabric Laminated Cotton & Goods reached out to you! I will check out their website. Thank you again for all the work and dedication you put into these videos, I so enjoy watching them!
Oh, thank you so much! You are sweet! 🥰 My husband said the same thing. It would have been nice to have some more information about the little guy. I love the idea of passing him down. So sweet! Yes! Tracy’s email was so kind! I am thrilled to know more about the company now. ❤️
Oh Kris! You are not a jerk! You've been a complete joy to watch. I agree with one of the comments posted, that it would have been nice to have had a card with the origins of the gnome. I thought it was decor and didn't know about it being a pincushion. Have a wonderful day! And Thank You for all of the videos!
You are so funny! Not a jerk at all, you didn't know. And for those who haven't watched Jenny's unwrapping but have been watching yours, now THEY know. That Missouri Star ordered how many tens of thousands? of these Gnomes to help support Tibetan villagers who have a VERY hard life is amazing and so good, a very big way to give back in gratitude for the blessed lives we live.

You can't be a jerk if you don't like something! So you are officially unjerked! ; ) Thank you for the information about the flash fabric! It gave me some great ideas for gifting and selling items at our farmer's markets. (If I can ever get myself doing that!) It is so much fun to see your excitement over these gifts. You are a kick to watch...in a good way!
Not a jerk! I’m obsessed with voodoo gnome! That was so funny. Your initial reactions are always so genuine which is why we love watching your videos. And once you have more info, you share it. Keep being you, Kris!
This is my 2nd year watching you do the countdown. And, you are not a jerk. It has been so fun to watch you do the unboxing every day and you have done a good job reviewing each product. Some items are just more desirable than others.
I love watching you open the gifts. I would never think of you as a jerk! You share your honest first feeling about it, yet never criticize the item. I think you are the sweetest person. 🤗 “Don’t we all have a weighted bottom?” 😂 Merry Christmas! 🎄
Just because you were not initially thrilled with it does not mean you're a jerk. I'm glad you gave the back story. BTW I thought the beard would be great for clips.
You are NOT a jerk. The fact that you realized you had an ignorant moment, proved it. Most jerks never realize what they are. If it makes you feel better, other TH-camrs have had similar reactions. Maybe Jenny should've added information in the package.
When I was sewing the other day I had my TV on TH-cam watching ( listening) to some of your older videos. Love them. Love your attitude. There were also several helpful tips you inserted into the videos. Thanks for your help and encouragement.
YAY! Thank you! So glad you love my videos! I have more coming in 2025! I love making tutorials, doing the Lessons from an Old Quilt videos, and more. Can't wait to share!
Hi Kris! I’m with you on the gnome. I wasn’t real crazy about him either until you told us the backstory. now he has meaning and he became really cute and useful lol
You are not a jerk. You were honest and didn't know the story. I love my gnome and named him Tinker. Thank you for the info on the fabric and I would like to find more of the felt fabric in today's kit. I am looking forward to making a eyeglass case. Have a wonderful day.
I did not think you were a jerk in your reaction to the gnome. I DID think you would change your mind once you knew the story behind it. You have actually blown my mind this year. I think this is the fourth year I have watched your unboxing (always right after watching Jenny's) and you have liked most of these "gifts" this time. There have been a few that I thought you would hate that you actually loved (like the lego-type sewing machine) and a couple of other things. I am not really a gnome fan myself, but I did like the reasoning behind this one. Anyway, I enjoy watching you open them and guess the next one. I have never done any of the projects so it amazes me that you do them and you do them right away!
Thank you so much! I feel like I have lighted up over the years in general. Comes with age, I suppose. The experience is so much fun for me! Thank you for continuing to watch! As for the projects, this is full-time so it is kind of a “fun” thing to work on projects. ❤️
Hi Kris. You always make me happy! A jerk? No way😍 You manage to get through everything in such a positive and hilarious manner. One needs to have a sense of humour to actually attempt to find the reason etc for some of these little gifts. Happy felting…🙏🇦🇺
Love watching your reactions while opening each days present. Jenny was very emotional while describing the pin cushion origin story. Grateful to have contributed to the small village and help change lives. Personally love gnomes. Value people who admit their mistakes, and move on.
You are so real and funny , love watching you unwrap the daily gift..you are not a jerk, but your great way of laughing at yourself and admitting when you made a mistake is so refreshing ❤❤
You are entitled to your opinion. Do not call yourself a jerk. You are one of the kindest TH-camrs i watch! I am not a fan of gnomes so even with back story behind the gnome, It still wouldn’t be one of my favorites. 😊
Kris, your honesty, sincerity and enthusiasm are why I watch you! I personally am a gnome fanatic so it was fine with me plus I watch the unveiling at midnight with Jenny so I knew the story. I watch you to have excitement and fun! You are fabulous! ❣️Don’t feel bad and please don’t change!
Definitely not a jerk. There was no indication of what this gift represented. It would have been nice if a card had been inserted with the story of this gnome. It’s wonderful that we got to support those less fortunate. Keep being the amazing you. See you tomorrow. ❤
Hi, Jenny! 🤗 You’re super and not at all the jerk of the month! 😂 That’s awesome that the fabric people reached out to you! I’m going to check out their website and fabric of the month. I love that you make all of the projects for us! 🌸 I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s possible mug! ☕️
Hi! Thank you so much! Just so you know, I am not Jenny. I’m Kris O’Neill from Sew The Distance. Jenny is Jenny Doan from Missouri Star Quilt Company, but I can see how that can be confusing. Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤️
Whatcha gonna make with the embossing kit? Rotary cutter holder with your initials would be good for quilting classes. "Keep your paws off my rotary cutter case!" Everyday there appears to be more ornaments on the tree. So pretty! I'll keep adding more and more until the day before I take it down. Take care! Marion
I was a rule follower and made what the pattern called for. 😀 It is cute. Not my thing! But that's okay. I added a few ornaments that I got at a thrift shop! Good eye, Marion! Wow! I am impressed!
You are not a jerk Kris. A handmade Nepalese village support gnome. Who knew!! Knowing that piece of information would have been nice. It does make a person feel a little nicer towards it. Tomorrow's present? Yep, my guess too, a mug. No Christmas box is complete without it. See you tomorrow.
The bowl cover would be great to stay on the bowl of your stand mixer to keep it clean between uses. I though the voodoo pin cushion joke was very funny.
I don't think you are a jerk at all. Some people love gnomes, some people don't. And felted wool isn't really my cup of tea. I love your videos. Don't apologize. You are you. And you're honest, a rare commodity in today's world. You're awesome! 😊😊😊
@ I’m sure I will enjoy them. I was looking for layer cake patterns when I found you. 😁 This count down to Christmas has been a very enjoyable extra find.
I named mine Beanie Boy from the cartoon long ago of Cecil & Beanie I think is the name. Anyway Cecil is a sea serpent and when Beanie calls for help Cecil will yell “ I’m comin Beanie Boy ! “ Lol I nick named my husband Beanie Boy lol. The gnome resembles him so that is what I named the Gnome. I am going to get litigious propellers to attach to the hat lol loved the back story and agree it would have been a nice addition in the box. Thank you for doing this I love your channel and the box opening. The case gift of today is pretty cool as well. It looks like it could be fun. Husband is into leather craft so that is a plus
You are not a jerk! I too was disappointed because I really dislike gnomes! The back story is very nice but I still donated mine to a needy child for Christmas.
You are definitely NOT a jerk!! It is a pincushion. You stick pins into it. One sticks pins into a voodoo doll. I laughed when you called it a voodoo gnome doll. The backstory is what I love about the gnome, I don't care for gnomes mostly because they've been so prevalent in fabric lines for a few years, especially Christmas fabric. Laughed at your "weighted bottom" comment. Too funny.
So happy I gave you a few laughs! I love that MSQC is helping out. It does make a difference in the item, for sure. I agree! Gnomes have been everywhere!
Don’t worry about the gnome. You are only human and it was an honest mistake. I enjoy your videos. Hope you have a very merry Christmas and a wonderfully happy new year.!
You are too hard on yourself and not a “jerk”! The gnome isn’t my favorite thing in the box, as well as a few other things I’ve seen. Overall, most items have been a good value. Still, IDK if I’d up that box as it’s quite expensive. You’re doing a great job and research on all the prices. Thank you! Enjoy your Christmas! ❤
Thank you so much! I am happy you are enjoying my videos! 🥰 This box is pricey and it keeps going up (like everything else) each year. Merry Christmas to you and yours too!
Oh my goodness, you're not a jerk! Many of us had the same reaction. It was an unusual gift with nothing in the box to explain what it was or the backstory on it. As for today's, I love this one and will probably use some felt I have to make more.
You're not a jerk. I had the same reaction. But now that I know the story of where it came from I'm totally in love with him. He has so much more meaning & value. I love you & your videos keep up the good work Happy Holidays to you❤
OMG - I love you. I wish you we were my neighbor. “Jerk of the year” and “weighted bottom”. lol. I’m so glad I found you. I felt bad for you when you were talking about the gnome because I had already watched Jenny’s video.
Definitely not a jerk! As another commenter said, it would have been nice if he had come with a little card explaining the backstory. Remember those pins that came in the iron tin? At the time I thought they had a nature theme to them and now they are decorating my gnome's hat. Heck, one of those pins is a mushroom! Anyway, he looks adorable with his decorations. Also, that "weighted bottom" comment was so funny!🤣
I was thinking the same thing as janet, MSQC should have included at least a description card explaining such a random item. I have really enjoyed watching you open the things from the advent box. I have not liked many of them but watching you and seeing all your cute headbands has been fun for me.
You are not a jerk We all have different tastes. Msqc should have included a backstory. As for today's gift I love it. I really love the thought of making the book marks. Thank you again for your sharing and enthusiasm.
My pleasure! So glad you like this item! I did make the projects and will share them in tomorrow’s video. So happy you are enjoying this series! Thanks so much for watching. ❤️
You are not a jerk! I thought it was strange but cute. It is nice to know th back story of him. I agree with another follower, it would have been nice to have a card with him that told us about it.
Don't feel bad, I was not thrilled, however, I too learned the history, and we all have our thoughts. Loved today's video. Have a restorative Sunday. Till tomorrow.
You are definitely not a jerk! You gave an honest opinion, and honestly, it was mine too. I just don't like gnomes! Love watching you open each day's gift! Have a restful Sunday!
I love that nome. He is already full of my pins. It’s a pincushion. I love his back story and I can’t stop to think about the wonderful people of Nepal! And I think the next gift is a mug too !
I agree with so many others, you aren't a jerk, you were sharing your honest opinion. Like you, once I heard the back story of the gnome, I like him more. Thank you for all the unboxing videos! Have a great day!
You are not a jerk. It was your first reaction. I love gnomes so I was okay with it but when I watched Jennys video it really made me love it. Love the videos and your enthusiasm. Keep it up!!!
Thanks for updating us about the Gnome…my thoughts were exactly like yours when I opened that gift. If you were a jerk, you weren’t alone!!! I love Splash Fabrics. After hearing about them, I purchased a few things readymade and also some fabric. It’s sews very nicely.
My pleasure! And I am glad I’m not alone. Thank you for your kind words! I am also a fan of them now! This box always expands my skills and exposes us to new things. I love that!!
You are a lovely person. I enjoy your videos and we've all said things that we feel bad about later. You are not a jerk. I think you are a happy person who likes to see the good in everything. Have a wonderful Christmas!
I too feel the same about today's gift and this year's box in general. Different things to try to get us out of our comfort zone and trying something different. I LOVE it and I'm sad we only have 3 days left. It would be very interesting to find out how many boxes MSQC sells a year.
Yes! That’s one of my favorite part of this box. I doubt we will ever know that number, but it sure would be interesting! Today Jenny’s said they have next year’s box halfway done. So interesting!
Not a jerk! Just funny. After I watched Jenny’s video I was at least glad it helped a village. I’m all for that even though I wasn’t a fan of the gnome.
From reading the comments on the facebook, there were alot of people who didn't care for the gnome. The backstory does make him more endearing. I happen to love gnomes but they aren't everybodies cup of tea. He is a handy little fellow though because I lose my needles all the time, sometimes the second I lay them down. One day I found 9 needles under my sofa cushions.
I really enjoy these videos! I am sad when the daily openings are over. I am not a fan of gnomes, and was not excited by your opening, but by the time I watched two other TH-cam open yesterday, he kind of grew on me, lol. I didn't know he was benefiting a place in Nepal, so that is neat!
Yay! So happy you enjoy these! He is growing on me, too, but I have a friend who is going to love him. He’s going in the mail to her. Thank you so much for watching! 🥰
Love the weighted bottom. I have one too! You are the best! I love, ❤️, love your videos and tutorials. Especially these Advent box openings. See you tomorrow!
Yes, I have a weighted bottom,😂🤣. I’m glad it is another project. The white chalk pen is nice. Thanks for more info and the link to the laminated fabric site! I’m sure it is another mug also. I have too many mugs!!! I was hoping for no more mugs this year. Yes Jenny did say about getting a mug. See you tomorrow. Have a Blessed Day! Deborah Powell
You are way to sweet to be a jerk. Had you known the back story you would have had a different response. I have always appreciated your honest response and all the work you put into placing a value to each gift, it is a lot of work and I appreciate you for doing it. Thank you for sharing about the bowl covers, I am eager to do that project and visit their website. 😊
@@SewtheDistanceI’m hoping for another coordinating mug! And the ornaments from this year coordinate with the mugs from previous years, and can double as tea bag holders, or little tiny plates for marshmallows or mints to put into cocoa!
Hi Kris! You are not a jerk! Yes it's a good cause that MSQC has done, and anyone who buys it would also contribute, I like it, but probably wouldn't buy it on my own, because my cat loves felted things, and won't leave it alone! LOL So, because of that I won't be using it for pins.
Thank you SO much, Kris! We really, really appreciate you sharing more info about our fabric with your awesome audience. Happy holidays to you and all of your viewers! (PS. Your weighted bottom comment made us laugh!) :)
Happy holidays to you as well. I am glad you enjoyed my comments and the series.
Kris, you crack me up! No need to forgive you, how could you have known!! I think it would have been nice if MSQC would have included a little printed card or something to explain the backstory of the gnome so we could keep the story with the gnome to pass on for generations to come, the story really adds to his charm. I love the fact that they support small businesses and communities!
That is so impressive that Tracy from Splash Fabric Laminated Cotton & Goods reached out to you! I will check out their website.
Thank you again for all the work and dedication you put into these videos, I so enjoy watching them!
Oh, thank you so much! You are sweet! 🥰
My husband said the same thing. It would have been nice to have some more information about the little guy. I love the idea of passing him down. So sweet!
Yes! Tracy’s email was so kind! I am thrilled to know more about the company now. ❤️
I'm guessing tomorrow could be a mug or perhaps a snow globe
I don’t see a jerk. What I see is happy wonderful person that has big heart!!! Thank you Kris!!!
Awwwe! THANK YOU! You are so sweet!
Oh Kris! You are not a jerk! You've been a complete joy to watch. I agree with one of the comments posted, that it would have been nice to have had a card with the origins of the gnome. I thought it was decor and didn't know about it being a pincushion. Have a wonderful day! And Thank You for all of the videos!
Yes, they should have included some info on that.
Oh, thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️ So happy you are enjoying this series!
You are so funny! Not a jerk at all, you didn't know. And for those who haven't watched Jenny's unwrapping but have been watching yours, now THEY know. That Missouri Star ordered how many tens of thousands? of these Gnomes to help support Tibetan villagers who have a VERY hard life is amazing and so good, a very big way to give back in gratitude for the blessed lives we live.
So true! And thank you for watching and understanding! ❤️
You didn't know. I love your videos. I can't find Jenny's video, I looked on their site.....help!!
I agree.

@SewtheDistance yes ,that's it! Silly me didn't scroll down the page 🤦♀️
You can't be a jerk if you don't like something! So you are officially unjerked! ; ) Thank you for the information about the flash fabric! It gave me some great ideas for gifting and selling items at our farmer's markets. (If I can ever get myself doing that!) It is so much fun to see your excitement over these gifts. You are a kick to watch...in a good way!
Yay! Thank you for unjerking me! 😀 So happy you are enjoying this! ❤️
I love the gnome’s backstory. He makes a good sewing buddy but I wouldn’t want to stick pins in him!
He does have a great backstory! Love it!
You are good! We all say things we wish we didn't. Merry Christmas
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you, too!
Not a jerk! I’m obsessed with voodoo gnome! That was so funny. Your initial reactions are always so genuine which is why we love watching your videos. And once you have more info, you share it. Keep being you, Kris!
Awww! Thank you so much! I am so glad you are enjoying the videos.
Count me as another new fan of Splash Cotton! They have such lovely things on their website! I found ‘em on Facebook, too.
So glad you found them! Their website is so much fun to browse! I am sold, too. I am going to place an order after the holidays.
You make us all laugh. You are appreciated and def 😊not a jerk. You are awesome!
You are so sweet! Thank you. 🥰
This is my 2nd year watching you do the countdown. And, you are not a jerk. It has been so fun to watch you do the unboxing every day and you have done a good job reviewing each product. Some items are just more desirable than others.
Thank you! I'm happy you like the reviews. And that is so true!
I love watching you open the gifts. I would never think of you as a jerk! You share your honest first feeling about it, yet never criticize the item. I think you are the sweetest person. 🤗 “Don’t we all have a weighted bottom?” 😂 Merry Christmas! 🎄
Awww! Thank you SO much! You are so sweet!
😂 Weighted bottoms unite! 😂
@ 😂❤️😂
You are not a jerk… really enjoy these videos. Thank you!
Oh, thank you so much! So happy you are enjoying them! ❤
“Don’t we all have a weighted bottom?” 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Love that you’re honest about your opinions, not a jerk. Thanks for info on the fabric
You are so welcome! Thank you for your kind words!
You are not a jerk!! It was a first reaction. Totally agree. A weighted bottom? Ha ha😊
😂 Those weighted bottoms! Thank you so much for this!
A story in the box would have helped, A LOT! You are not a jerk. I also watch your unboxing, 3rd yr in a row. Its fun.
That’s exactly what my husband said! They should have has a note in it or something. Oh well. Live and learn! Thank you so much for watching!
"Weighted bottoms." LOL. That box looks big for a mug unless it's in styrofoam. My first thought was snow globe.
Just because you were not initially thrilled with it does not mean you're a jerk. I'm glad you gave the back story. BTW I thought the beard would be great for clips.
Ohhhh! LOVE that idea! It would work great for clips! Thank you!
Also, thank you for your kind words!
You aren’t a jerk. A good reminder that there is sometimes more to a story than what we see on the surface.
That’s a great point! It does change my feelings about it. I’m glad MSQC is helping out.
You are NOT a jerk. The fact that you realized you had an ignorant moment, proved it. Most jerks never realize what they are. If it makes you feel better, other TH-camrs have had similar reactions. Maybe Jenny should've added information in the package.

Hi Kris! I’m with you on the gnome. I wasn’t real crazy about him either until you told us the backstory. now he has meaning and he became really cute and useful lol
So true! I’m glad he grew on you.
You are not a jerk. You were honest and didn't know the story. I love my gnome and named him Tinker. Thank you for the info on the fabric and I would like to find more of the felt fabric in today's kit. I am looking forward to making a eyeglass case. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you! 🥰
Love the name Tinker! So cute!
Your great. I thought the same about the gnome at first then after learning about it I changed my mind.
Thank you! Yes! It did help!
I did not think you were a jerk in your reaction to the gnome. I DID think you would change your mind once you knew the story behind it. You have actually blown my mind this year.

Thank you! That is so sweet of you! ❤️❤️❤️
Do not feel bad about the gnome. It is ok & stop staying you are a jerk. You are appreciated & loved!❤
Thank you so much! 🥰
Gnomes are a personal preference! Some people like, some don't. You are not a jerk! We love your honest opinions ❤
True! Thank you for this! ❤️
Kris, your honesty, sincerity and enthusiasm are why I watch you! I personally am a gnome fanatic so it was fine with me plus I watch the unveiling at midnight with Jenny so I knew the story. I watch you to have excitement and fun! You are fabulous! ❣️Don’t feel bad and please don’t change!
Oh, thank you SO much! You are so sweet!
The pins from day 2 look like they go with the gnome and are really cute with him!! You're so fun to watch and thank you for sharing!!
My pleasure! So glad you are enjoying this series! They do look good on him, don’t they?
Definitely not a jerk. There was no indication of what this gift represented. It would have been nice if a card had been inserted with the story of this gnome. It’s wonderful that we got to support those less fortunate. Keep being the amazing you. See you tomorrow. ❤

You are my favorite Christmas box opener.
Pins are used for voodoo😂
Awwwe! Thank you! ❤❤❤
Well even so, I didn’t like the gnome and am giving it away…. Not my deal 😂. Loved this gift!
Whatcha gonna make with the embossing kit? Rotary cutter holder with your initials would be good for quilting classes. "Keep your paws off my rotary cutter case!" Everyday there appears to be more ornaments on the tree. So pretty! I'll keep adding more and more until the day before I take it down. Take care! Marion

Thank you, Sue! I hope it is a mug, too!
The bowl cover would be great to stay on the bowl of your stand mixer to keep it clean between uses.
I though the voodoo pin cushion joke was very funny.
That's a great idea! I am going to try that!
I am seeing gnomes everywhere I go! I think they are haunting me! 😀
Hope it is a chuck the duck mug!!
I don't think you are a jerk at all. Some people love gnomes, some people don't. And felted wool isn't really my cup of tea. I love your videos. Don't apologize. You are you. And you're honest, a rare commodity in today's world. You're awesome! 😊😊😊
Thank you! That is so sweet! ❤️❤️❤️
This is my first year watching the unboxing, but ya know I am hooked now. Will miss my daily posting coming up real soon.
Oh, thank you! I do have a lot of other videos and more coming in 2025! I hope you enjoy them, too!
@ I’m sure I will enjoy them. I was looking for layer cake patterns when I found you. 😁 This count down to Christmas has been a very enjoyable extra find.
I named mine Beanie Boy from the cartoon long ago of Cecil & Beanie I think is the name. Anyway Cecil is a sea serpent and when Beanie calls for help Cecil will yell “ I’m comin Beanie Boy ! “ Lol I nick named my husband Beanie Boy lol.

Oh my goodness! Sounds like the perfect name for him then! Love it! 😀
His backstory is very sweet! Not a jerk at all, I love watching your reactions to each's day's gift!! Well done!!
Thank you so much! ❤❤❤ I love his backstory, too. It’s nice that they are helping out!
You are not a jerk! I too was disappointed because I really dislike gnomes! The back story is very nice but I still donated mine to a needy child for Christmas.
What a wonderful idea and gesture! Love that!
You are definitely NOT a jerk!! It is a pincushion. You stick pins into it. One sticks pins into a voodoo doll. I laughed when you called it a voodoo gnome doll.
The backstory is what I love about the gnome, I don't care for gnomes mostly because they've been so prevalent in fabric lines for a few years, especially Christmas fabric.
Laughed at your "weighted bottom" comment. Too funny.
So happy I gave you a few laughs! I love that MSQC is helping out. It does make a difference in the item, for sure. I agree! Gnomes have been everywhere!
Don’t worry about the gnome. You are only human and it was an honest mistake. I enjoy your videos. Hope you have a very merry Christmas and a wonderfully happy new year.!

Doing your bit to bring joy to the world. Have a happy sparkly Christmas week
YES! That's what it's all about! 🥰
Thank you! I hope you are having a good week, too!
You are too hard on yourself and not a “jerk”! The gnome isn’t my favorite thing in the box, as well as a few other things I’ve seen. Overall, most items have been a good value. Still, IDK if I’d up that box as it’s quite expensive. You’re doing a great job and research on all the prices. Thank you! Enjoy your Christmas! ❤
Thank you so much! I am happy you are enjoying my videos! 🥰 This box is pricey and it keeps going up (like everything else) each year. Merry Christmas to you and yours too!
Oh my goodness, you're not a jerk! Many of us had the same reaction. It was an unusual gift with nothing in the box to explain what it was or the backstory on it. As for today's, I love this one and will probably use some felt I have to make more.
Thank you so much! I wish there would have been something in there, too.
You're not a jerk. I had the same reaction. But now that I know the story of where it came from I'm totally in love with him. He has so much more meaning & value. I love you & your videos keep up the good work
Happy Holidays to you❤
Thank you so much! 🥰
Happy holidays to you and yours, too! 🎄
OMG - I love you. I wish you we were my neighbor. “Jerk of the year” and “weighted bottom”. lol. I’m so glad I found you. I felt bad for you when you were talking about the gnome because I had already watched Jenny’s video.
🥰 So glad you got a good laugh! I would love to be neighbors! ❤️
You crack me up to where I’m literally laughing out loud - weighted bottom! Bwahahaha
Weighted bottoms for the win! 😀
Definitely not a jerk! As another commenter said, it would have been nice if he had come with a little card explaining the backstory. Remember those pins that came in the iron tin? At the time I thought they had a nature theme to them and now they are decorating my gnome's hat. Heck, one of those pins is a mushroom! Anyway, he looks adorable with his decorations. Also, that "weighted bottom" comment was so funny!🤣
Ohhhh! Yes! That does make sense now! 😀
So glad you got a laugh! It’s all I could think of! ❤️
I was thinking the same thing as janet, MSQC should have included at least a description card explaining such a random item. I have really enjoyed watching you open the things from the advent box. I have not liked many of them but watching you and seeing all your cute headbands has been fun for me.
Thank you for watching! It's fun to see what comes in the box every day! 🥰
I’m still laughing! Depending on the “incantations” I utter in my sewing room, the weighted bottom gnome could become a voodoo gnome! 😂
🤣 So happy it gave you a giggle!
You are not a jerk. I thought the same thing when I opened the gnome. Then I watched Jenny's unboxing and felt bad.
Glad I wasn’t alone! 🥰
You are not a jerk We all have different tastes. Msqc should have included a backstory. As for today's gift I love it. I really love the thought of making the book marks. Thank you again for your sharing and enthusiasm.
My pleasure! So glad you like this item! I did make the projects and will share them in tomorrow’s video. So happy you are enjoying this series! Thanks so much for watching. ❤️
Joan here...I saw where someone put sewing clips on his beard. Thought that was a good idea
LOVE that idea! Wow! So smart!
You are wonderful person 😅that brings us your expertise every video. You don’t even need to say anything; we love you ❤💜
Awwwe! THANK YOU! That is so kind! ❤️❤️❤️
You are not a jerk. You do crack me up.though. Yes we all have a weighted bottom. 😅😅
You’re so sweet! I’m glad I’m making you laugh. 😂
You are not a jerk! I thought it was strange but cute. It is nice to know th back story of him. I agree with another follower, it would have been nice to have a card with him that told us about it.
Thank you! I am feeling a bit better about it, especially after reading all the wonderful comments like that. ❤️
Don't feel bad, I was not thrilled, however, I too learned the history, and we all have our thoughts. Loved today's video. Have a restorative Sunday. Till tomorrow.
Thank you so much! ❤️
You are definitely not a jerk! You gave an honest opinion, and honestly, it was mine too. I just don't like gnomes! Love watching you open each day's gift! Have a restful Sunday!
Thank you! I am in good company then. ❤️
Happy Sunday to you, too!
I love that nome. He is already full of my pins. It’s a pincushion. I love his back story and I can’t stop to think about the wonderful people of Nepal! And I think the next gift is a mug too !
Yay! So glad you love him and his wonderful story!
Kris, you are phenomenal, you get as much information as you possibly can. You are fun and interesting to watch.
Aw, shucks! That's so kind of you to say! 🥰
Lol. I'm still going to use him as a voodoo doll.😂
😂😂😂 I love it!
I agree with so many others, you aren't a jerk, you were sharing your honest opinion. Like you, once I heard the back story of the gnome, I like him more. Thank you for all the unboxing videos! Have a great day!
Thank you so much! 🥰
I love your honesty. I watch because you tell it how it is…can’t wait till next year…❤️
It’s so much fun to watch you open the packages. You are not a jerk in my book ❤.
Thank you! ❤❤❤
You are not a jerk. It was your first reaction. I love gnomes so I was okay with it but when I watched Jennys video it really made me love it. Love the videos and your enthusiasm. Keep it up!!!
Thank you! So happy you love my videos! And thanks for saying I’m not a jerk. I’m feeling much better about it!
That’s too funny about the gnome. A little note in with him would’ve been helpful.
Thank you!
So true! ❤️
Ha! You are NOT a jerk. You simply didn’t care for the gift. Don’t beat yourself up. I have known other people that aren’t thrilled with nomes.
Awww! Thank you so much!
I enjoy watching your daily unboxing. So much enthusiasm is good!
Thank you so much! Thank you for watching and enjoying this with me!
Thank you! So glad you love it!
I have enjoyed checking in each day to see the gifts from Jenny’s Christmas box. I hope I am able to order one the 2025 Christmas.
Yay! So happy you are enjoying this!
I'm hoping the mug is one of the 2 remaining colors with another one of the sayings. Then, next year, I'll have to get the box again to have all 4 😆
It will be nice to have a set!
❤❤❤❤
Thanks for updating us about the Gnome…my thoughts were exactly like yours when I opened that gift. If you were a jerk, you weren’t alone!!! I love Splash Fabrics. After hearing about them, I purchased a few things readymade and also some fabric. It’s sews very nicely.
My pleasure! And I am glad I’m not alone. Thank you for your kind words!
I am also a fan of them now! This box always expands my skills and exposes us to new things. I love that!!
You are a lovely person. I enjoy your videos and we've all said things that we feel bad about later. You are not a jerk. I think you are a happy person who likes to see the good in everything. Have a wonderful Christmas!
Awww! Thank you so much! I try! 🥰
Im going to look i to the Splash fabric. My nephew just moved into a new apartment so I will be making him some things!
This would be perfect! I am so impressed with what I learned on their website. I see projects in my future, too!
I too feel the same about today's gift and this year's box in general. Different things to try to get us out of our comfort zone and trying something different. I LOVE it and I'm sad we only have 3 days left. It would be very interesting to find out how many boxes MSQC sells a year.
Yes! That’s one of my favorite part of this box.
I doubt we will ever know that number, but it sure would be interesting! Today Jenny’s said they have next year’s box halfway done. So interesting!
Oh a lunchbox with the laminate fabric! I need a new lunchbox.
That would be a fun lunchbox! Great idea!
Not a jerk! Just funny. After I watched Jenny’s video I was at least glad it helped a village. I’m all for that even though I wasn’t a fan of the gnome.
Thanks so much! I did feel like a jerk. 😂 I love that they are helping out a village, too. ❤️
You are not a jealous. I agree with the others... they should have included the back story with the gnome.
Thank you! Everyone has been so sweet and kind! ❤️
From reading the comments on the facebook, there were alot of people who didn't care for the gnome. The backstory does make him more endearing. I happen to love gnomes but they aren't everybodies cup of tea. He is a handy little fellow though because I lose my needles all the time, sometimes the second I lay them down. One day I found 9 needles under my sofa cushions.
Oh my goodness! I can relate! I find them all the time, too! Maybe this little gnome should be my needle buddy!
Thanks for checking out the food cover. I am going to make some for my girls.
Isn’t that cool? I want to make some more. I love that you are going to make them for your girls!
@SewtheDistance everyone has glass o plastic bowls that don't have lids. They like those Stashables.
A different project!!! I like it !! So far I’m
Thrilled !!!! Love your videos!!! Thx for everyday!!
I really enjoy these videos! I am sad when the daily openings are over. I am not a fan of gnomes, and was not excited by your opening, but by the time I watched two other TH-cam open yesterday, he kind of grew on me, lol. I didn't know he was benefiting a place in Nepal, so that is neat!
Yay! So happy you enjoy these! He is growing on me, too, but I have a friend who is going to love him. He’s going in the mail to her. Thank you so much for watching! 🥰
Thank you for all you do, I really enjoy your videos.
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoy them!
Your not a jerk. I didn’t know his back story either until I watched Jenny.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Love the weighted bottom. I have one too! You are the best! I love, ❤️, love your videos and tutorials. Especially these Advent box openings. See you tomorrow!
I appreciate it so much! See you tomorrow!
Yes, I have a weighted bottom,😂🤣. I’m glad it is another project. The white chalk pen is nice. Thanks for more info and the link to the laminated fabric site! I’m sure it is another mug also. I have too many mugs!!! I was hoping for no more mugs this year. Yes Jenny did say about getting a mug. See you tomorrow. Have a Blessed Day! Deborah Powell
So happy it gave you a laugh! 😀
I love the mug, too, but I’m with you. It’s a lot of mugs! I hope you had a blessed day, too! ❤️
You are great and have enjoyed watching youso much!!!
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
You are way to sweet to be a jerk. Had you known the back story you would have had a different response. I have always appreciated your honest response and all the work you put into placing a value to each gift, it is a lot of work and I appreciate you for doing it. Thank you for sharing about the bowl covers, I am eager to do that project and visit their website. 😊
Oh, thank you so much! That is true. I wish they would have included information about it! It would have helped.
I hope it’s another mug to match the plates from last year
❤️❤️❤️
Hi Kris = again and again I thank you your reveals. Wishing you and your family a wonderful, joyous Christmas Holiday 🎄 🎅🏼 🤶🏼
Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas season, too. ❤️
I agree with you, I think it is a mug too!
We are getting quite the collection!
@@SewtheDistanceI’m hoping for another coordinating mug! And the ornaments from this year coordinate with the mugs from previous years, and can double as tea bag holders, or little tiny plates for marshmallows or mints to put into cocoa!
Hi Kris! You are not a jerk! Yes it's a good cause that MSQC has done, and anyone who buys it would also contribute, I like it, but probably wouldn't buy it on my own, because my cat loves felted things, and won't leave it alone! LOL So, because of that I won't be using it for pins.
Thank you! ❤️
Oh boy! That would be disastrous! Just a knick knack then. So cute!
