Scrapbooker’s tip for you: If you store your ink pads upside down the ink will stay on top and you won’t have to re-ink them as often! I love your new coloring space!
I spy a twisbi fountain pen. A lady after my own heart. I have the white with rose gold and the turquoise fine points. Love that you have fountain pen(s).
Yes to glass for your table.. have it it on my desk for several years works great.. ( my desk is just like yours in darker wood but a bit bigger love watching you two! Poncho is beautiful … love seeing your knitting, journaling
For your desk, get a piece of glass the size of your desk, and you'll have no issues with damaging the top. You can also add lists, calendars, pictures, pressed flowers, etc. under the glass.
Just a tip for your desk!! Get a quilters' cutting mat or, if you don't like the look of all the measurements, a crafting silicone mat. They wipe clean and you can get really large ones to cover a large area. I like a cutting mat because you can't cut through it, and I use xacto knives on different things.
Happy New year to you both!!! 🎈🥳..... Could RBM show us how he does his magic knot yarn balls please?❤...... I always find it hard trynig to cut the fluff off the the knot..... And I end up cutting too close and it comes apart!! 😚😮...... Perhaps I need a leatherman!! Lol xx
Happy New Year! Love your new desk. Just a thought, but when I bought a new desk a few years ago for my crafty endeavors, my husband had a piece of glass custom cut for my desk top. It's probably at least a 1/2" thick and has a really nice smooth edge to it. You'd still be able to see your wood finish beneath it, while also protecting it.
Thanks for recommending Avene - it is the best moisturizer and the only one that effectively resolves flaking from using retin - A. Appreciate the time you put in making your podcasts.
It really is amazing I've used it for years and when I use Retin A there is nothing that nourishes my skin enough also I sometimes get Psoriasis so it helps with that!
So happy to see you again after such a long 6 days! 🤭Happy New Year to you both! Hope to see you when you can make the time to podcast! Love your poncho! ❤
On your beautiful desk ,I would suggest a glass sheet all over . I protected my desk with that and I’m very satisfied; durable and so easy to clean 🧽 👌. Great poncho 🤩! I also am knitting the Corrie In Poncho with my advent yarn held double with a natural suri alpaca . Happy New Year to you both ! 😮you 3 ! 🐶
Love you poncho. Your planning/Journaling corner is amazing.🥰 Please don't disregard Red Bank Mike. I feel that he is often cut off. Can we go back the magazine he was looking at. He even said He wanted to show us something. You are so lucky to have such a good person in your life. 🤐
Oh my! Your episodes are so fun! Funny? Yes! But fun, too. Mike brings a level of humor to your shows that none other have! And like i said on one of your Vlogmasses , both of you just kind of ooze affection for each other! It’s refreshing! And…….fun!!!
✨I had an antique table that I did get a glass-man lol I forget what they’re called.. brain fog moment.. grazer? in north Jersey who cut to order and it should never sit directly on the wood. Got little thin round like coasters like size of a dime on each corner. It’s dynamite!! No worries w water /paint /inks or the beverages or glue ! Lol@the “tool” RBM 🥴 Love your vids so much, I’m pretty certain im addicted 🥴. Tried Peaky FOUR times. Always a no go. But… I’m needing a new show so I’m gonna revisit! Happy healthy New Year 2024 guys. Love love love 💕
So glad you were back on i have found myself saying goodmorning girls and looking for the chickens. 😊 have missed your vlogmas and your funny and witty comments. I don't know when you have time to do all the journaling but good for you thank you for sharing have a wonderful new year and am looking forward to what new colors you have for us. Nice job rbm on the desk I'm sure you used your Leatherman. Love the store we have some in Detroit that I love 😊 until next time and ghe poncho is turning out lovely.
Happy New Year to You Both. 🎉🎉 Wishing You Much Happiness and Good Health for 2024. Loving the Poncho Christina, a fabulous way to use Advents. 🌈 I laughed at the little Dig with RBM and the Dishwasher!! 😂😂 Take Care xx❤❤
Christine I am sooo happy to see you posted a blog post to start all of our new year!!!! Love the opening of the video!!!!Maybe you can do one once a month??? Miss seeing you both once vlogmas is over. You don’t think you have important content but just watching you and Tad interact in your day brings a smile to me. LOVE your new desk!!! Please post an update once you have your shelves installed and have officially “ moved” in lol. Love and best wishes for a wonderful year to you , Tad, Gretzsky and your son and mother. PLEASE stay in touch with all of us out here?!
I was going to suggest the same thing. I have an antique pine table that I use as a desk. I had a custom piece of glass cut to protect the top and it's perfect! You can also buy these tiny little plastic dots to put under the glass to keep it off the wood. Also good. Happy New Year you two!🎉❤
Happy new year! Yes, Leatherman content 🎉 Who needs knitting when you can get leatherman😂 love your desk! Nice to see your poncho, I started mine, December 23rd, after seeing yours during vlogmas. Can’t wait to see it finished!
Yay!! What a nice to surprise to have another vlog from you, thank you!! Would love the egg bite recipe and any other food/exercise info you have for us. I always love to see what you’re eating.
Ok so I just kind of whipped it up I have a bad habit of doing that Let me look though... I took egg whites added cheese and S&P and baked in my silpat liner muffin tins for about 25 min. :)
Christina, have you considered using colored minwax stains & use a neutral background stain & then use different sized embroidery hoops & make a bunch of overlapping circles then put protective sealant? That way any coffee cup circles will be part of pattern!😂 Love your poncho!❤🎉Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Missed you guys! Loved all the Manusha! Your Poncho is beautiful! I am 3/4’s done with my Coorie in Poncho using minis from Giddy Yarns Beatrix Potter Collection, minis from Lay Family Yarn and Hedgerow Yarns. Love knitting it! Happy 2024! I will be looking forward to more of your vlogs, podcasts etc! ❤
Happy New Year! I live in South Jersey and I am tired of all the gray weather. Aren’t you? I love what you did with your Advent Yarn! I have seen that poncho in a solid color and really like it but I really love the striping. When do you typically advertise when the advent calendar is available for pre sale? I would love to try it. Thank you! Have a great week!
Merry Christmas and a blessed, happy 2024 to you all! BTW - for the new desk, I know it's pricey but worth it to get a large piece of glass to top it. Leaves the look of the beautiful wood and allows you to be creative without destroying it LOL! Just my 2cents 😉
Happy New Year. 🎉 I love the sweater on the pin for this video. I’m going to go to your Ravelry page and find out what it is. Gotta say I do love your new desk;crayon corner has grown up., lol 😮😂😊❤
You might consider just allowing paint to get on your table and just go with it. That way it’s more freeing. After awhile it might look cool. Also, after build up of paint marks, if it starts to become a distraction, you can sand it and/or just paint the top with acrylic paint and put a clear gloss on it and then you can wipe it down. Happy New Year!!!!
I've been coming to terms with that as my option! I am a messy artist and I like to see color all over I am not neat when it comes to that aspect of my life! hahahhah
Love watching you guys! You are both so funny!! I've been watching since you guys were in the shop ,loved it then also. As an idea for your desk you can get a pretty large baking mat,or sewing mat. It can be used for any craft really. It works very well protecting the table underneath and easy for cleanup also. I use it when I bake my sugar cookies,when I do clay work like just about anything. Not sure of the correct name,but if you search baking mat for rolling out cookies I'm sure it pops up. Happy New Year guys!!! Very healthy safe one!!!❤
HNY ! Seems you could purchase a piece of clear acrylic to set on that beautiful desk ! I'm a new kid....when do you start taking pre orders for your Christmas Advent ?! Your poncho colors are gorgeous !!
Suggestion-- get a piece of acrylic or better yet... plate glass ... cut for that table top. It is a game changer!!
I did that with my dining table years ago and it was great. Beveled glass.
I was going to say get a piece of glass cut for the top! No worries to the wood!
I got a piece sized for a desk of transparent PVC on our favorite prime shipping site 😊 it looks amazing on my desk!
Exactly what I was going to suggest!
Scrapbooker’s tip for you: If you store your ink pads upside down the ink will stay on top and you won’t have to re-ink them as often! I love your new coloring space!
I spy a twisbi fountain pen. A lady after my own heart. I have the white with rose gold and the turquoise fine points. Love that you have fountain pen(s).
Love my Nespresso❤☕️Coffee is the best!
Peaky blinders is the best!
Happy New Year from my new home in Swansea Illinois.
got a new mattress early December. Your back will thank you.
Yes to glass for your table.. have it it on my desk for several years works great.. ( my desk is just like yours in darker wood but a bit bigger
love watching you two! Poncho is beautiful … love seeing your knitting, journaling
For your desk, get a piece of glass the size of your desk, and you'll have no issues with damaging the top. You can also add lists, calendars, pictures, pressed flowers, etc. under the glass.
I miss magazines!
Extra Christmas decorations or anything for that matter can be referred to as gubbins
Love seeing you guys ❤ love your knits 🧶 I need to make that so pretty 🤩
You should just get clear adhesive contact paper for your desktop. This way you can see the grain of the desk without damaging it.
And happy new year 🥳
Just a tip for your desk!! Get a quilters' cutting mat or, if you don't like the look of all the measurements, a crafting silicone mat. They wipe clean and you can get really large ones to cover a large area. I like a cutting mat because you can't cut through it, and I use xacto knives on different things.
Happy new year!

Love Peaky Blinders!
It's sooooo goood right!!!
Happy New Year to you guys!!!! Hugs, Kimberly
Happy New Year 🎉😢❤
I love watching you and Bed Bank Mike, but this Wisconsin girl LOVES the Packers more! Here is to many more wins in 2024!
Better beat the Bears Sunday
Try getting a glass top for the desk!
Yay!!! Bonus vlog! I was sad when Christmas was over.
Thank you for stopping by, as I hope you will have the energy to do more videos. Happy new year and I wish you more success and happiness.
OMG!!! Peaky Blinders is the best!! I have watched it twice!!
Love the desk! Try getting a piece of tempered glass cut to measure! That way you can still see beautiful wood! Happy New Year! ❤
From my home to yours, near and far, to all family and friends, I wishyou a Happy New Year 2024!
Happy New Year!! Get a glass top made for your desk that would protect it.
Great idea. Photos/stickers/cards🤔 can even be placed underneath
Happy New Year! Love your new desk. Just a thought, but when I bought a new desk a few years ago for my crafty endeavors, my husband had a piece of glass custom cut for my desk top. It's probably at least a 1/2" thick and has a really nice smooth edge to it. You'd still be able to see your wood finish beneath it, while also protecting it.
Glad to See you guys. Sorry RBM....Pack for the WIN!!! A new Espresso machine is way more exciting than shopping for a new mattress. Come back soon!!!
I am on the Pack bandwagon now....better win Sunday
CHRISTINA I would get glass for your topper...to see the beautiful table but still have it protected. It's so beautiful!
Thanks for recommending Avene - it is the best moisturizer and the only one that effectively resolves flaking from using retin - A. Appreciate the time you put in making your podcasts.
It really is amazing I've used it for years and when I use Retin A there is nothing that nourishes my skin enough also I sometimes get Psoriasis so it helps with that!
Happy New Year's guys! Please come back and show us your poncho.🎉🎉🎉
So happy to see you again after such a long 6 days! 🤭Happy New Year to you both! Hope to see you when you can make the time to podcast! Love your poncho! ❤

A clear plastic desk mat from IKEA
Thank god!!! I've watched peaky blinders like 10 times!!!! Its my favorite!!! Aaaahhhhhhhhhh
It's sooooo good
Happy New Year! You should get a piece of clear acrylic for the top of the desk. It would be easy to maintain with no ink/paint stains.
Get red bank to put on a coat of polyurethane on the top of the desk and you’ll be good to go.
So glad you were back on i have found myself saying goodmorning girls and looking for the chickens. 😊 have missed your vlogmas and your funny and witty comments. I don't know when you have time to do all the journaling but good for you thank you for sharing have a wonderful new year and am looking forward to what new colors you have for us. Nice job rbm on the desk I'm sure you used your Leatherman. Love the store we have some in Detroit that I love 😊 until next time and ghe poncho is turning out lovely.
Leatherman was used multiple times in table assembly - plus, used it to stir my coffee
Thanks for the joy and the happiness ❤
Wishing you a Gluten Free 2024 Christina! RBM…wishing you a caffeinated 2024 with the New Machine! Love the poncho😊
