Amber, I see your style of vlog not as a mish mash, but a collage of comforts, and a patchwork of pieces from your creative family life. Thank you for your encouragement to get through these dark days of winter. I will try going outdoors more because of it. ☕️🧶🌲
Oh my gosh! I love the way you described my videos! That is such a wonderful way to look at it! Thank you!
As a scrappy loving girl, I can’t wait to see how your blanket turns out.
I like seeing you in the word on your vlogs. That is so encouraging to me.
Thank you so much, Tina! I am absolutely LOVING knitting this blanket. It has grown so quickly!
I began watching your channel during Vlogmas and I really look forward to your podcasts. I looked on You Tube today and saw two new podcasts of yours and I was delighted. It's nice to find another homemaker that is a Christian and a knitter. Your bagels look amazing. You are not alone when it comes to the long winters. Where I live (western Canada) I have to try to embrace it so I have a Golden Retriever that makes me get outside just about every day and enjoy nature. Thank you for sharing your podcasts. Have a lovely week!
I have always enjoyed your podcasts. I swear I smile every time I see a new podcast. I am like a kid in a book store or library. My grandson got me hooked on a series he is reading about dragons. He is also reading the Harry Potter series. When I go to the library I head for the section for the crafts books . My next stop is I look for new knitting and crocheting mysteries. I am hooked on them haha
Hi Judy! I always go to the craft book section as well! Lol. I don't think I've ever read any knitting or crocheting mystery books, but I like light mystery books so I think I should try one out!
I love your clay work!! I tried to vlog and wow it took a lot of time! My toddler taught me to find joy in everything. That means, no weather can keep people from enjoying the outdoors if they wish to be out. It was snowing one day and I wanted to stay in to be warm. He looked at me and said, oh mommy just wrap me all up and throw me out there. I'll be happy and won't be sick, please? Lol I love scrap yarns in a basket!
Haha. That's so cute of your son! It's kind of true though! If you wrap up tight and warm, you'll be fine!
Hello Amber! I’m always so happy to see a new vlog post from you. I did see your IG story of your winter walk this morning. Wasn’t it just gorgeous outdoors with the snow hanging on the trees and the pristine white of the snowfall? It is one of my favorite wintertime views. I dislike the messy, muddy, sloshy snow that comes after, but the pure stillness of this morning was a true delight. It is predicted for more snow on Wednesday, mixed with rain, which has messed up my plans for going to the Benedem, but it is January in PA. I loved your air dried clay items that you and Lily made and now painted. You are so creative and artistic. I did get a lump in my stomach when you spoke of your grandpa and your painting. My grandsons are 5 and I am 67. Life is way too short. I truly get depressed when I let myself think of how fast time goes. I wish I could go outdoors and enjoy just walking around. Sadly, I am allergic to sulfur, and my neighbors mostly burn coal to heat their homes. The sulfur in the air is dangerous for me, and makes breathing difficult. Even the smoke from a outdoor fire pit gives me a severe migraine. ( even though wood fire has no sulfur) But I still love it all, from a far. My hip is acting up, which also causes me some dismay to even walk in town where the smoke doesn’t bother me. I have been struggling with this for over a year. Also leads to my depression. BUT…things could be worse, I get up every day, can do chores as long as I rest between, read, sew, and knit. So life is good; and I didn’t mean to sound whiny. I am listening to the audible book, Anne of Green Gables, and am loving it. I love that time period. I also love bookstores and libraries, as well as the book section in thrift stores. I want to make a scrappy blanket, and think I will begin it soon. I’m not sure if I want to knit it or crochet it…I love both. Well, sorry this was chatty. Thank you for sharing your moments with us. I love it! Take good care, and hope to see you soon.❤
Hi Cindi! How horrible that you can't get out an walk because of the sulfur!!! Where you able to make it to the Benedum today? We got quite a bit of snow and then ice and the rain so a lot of the snow has already melted. How was it in your area?
I LOVE Anne of Green Gables. I've read it multiple times. I'm actually currently reading Emily of New Moon which is another, lesser known book of L.M. Montgomery. I'm really enjoying it!
Thank you for watching and for your kindness!
@@alovelyyarn summers are so much better for breathing, that is for sure. But I can go outside in other areas. My hip is so bad now that I guess it is ok to stay inside. When we go to the Benedem, I can walk if I hold on to my daughter. I guess it takes the pressure from my hip. I was unable to go though today. Our roads were not good. In the afternoon they were slushy, but I live in a valley with the only way out is hills. So I just stayed here. My daughter took one of her friends in my place, which was great.
I will look for the Montgomery book you spoke of. I will definitely read Anne again. I bought the entire set.
I found a new to me podcast/ vlogger who enjoys everything I like. She sews, knits, designs patterns, journals, and reads. Maybe you watch her already. I will find her and send her channel name to you ...on Instagram so I can DM you.
Have a nice evening. ❤
I was so happy to see your video this morning. One popped up last night and by the time I tried to watch it you were gone, vanished, nowhere. I thought I was hallucinating for a minute 😅 You definitely have an artist's eye as the closing picture proves. I echo other's hopes that you let us see some of your paintings. Your whole family seems to be blessed with artistic abilities if the clay creations are anything to go by. The hanging mushroom was my favorite, but Lilli's minimalist whimsy was a close second. So simple, but so sweet.. Thanks for the vignettes into your family life once again.
Hi Bonnie! My video disappeared because something happened to the text during the transfer from my editing software to TH-cam. It was the weirdest thing. It did it three times before it finally transferred everything correctly. It was a little stressful! Lol.
Brave girl working with that dark yarn! I love all your clay and pottery pieces! What fun!
Hi Tina! It was just for a hat, so it wasn't that bad!!! But, yes, I normally don't enjoy working with dark yarn! Thank you so much for watching!
Amber what lovely podcast so interesting especially the painting on ceramics. The choice of books to read and new ideas. Also recipes without gluten or diary 🤔. I can't wait to see the afghan taking shape. Take care and spent time outside reading a book.
Thank you so much!
Nice fire building skills! That scene knitting by the campfire made me want to hooj up the trailer and go camping so bad! beautiful clay creations! Love the mushrooms! good luck with your art work and the scrappy blanket.
Thank you so much, Evelyn! I too am very much missing camping! Can't wait to get back to it in several months!
Thank you so very much for posting. I found you during Christmas and just loved watching you and your family. It was a pure delight. I love the little houses you made. I will be copying that, especially for the scripture artwork. You are very inspiring. I try to do a devotional first thing as well before the family wakes up. Keep up the great work.
Hello Inez. Your comment means a lot to me. It is very sweet and encouraging! Thank you so much!
My husband LOVES the winter months, as a woman born in a warmer climate, PA winters make me sad and grumpy. I've started taking my son out in the mornings for 20 to 30 min and trying to soak up all the sunlight we can. I've seen my mood improve greatly.
Yes! It's amazing how much better I feel after getting outside, even if it's a grey day (because, let's face it, most winter days here are grey! Lol)
@@alovelyyarn Grey and wet 😩
What a lovely, cozy vlog! I loved it! I totally agree about the necessity of having the right attitude about the cold weather, but I can tell you that now that I am in Australia, after nearly 9 years in the north of the Uk, my heart is much happier. The bright side of cold weather, though, is that you get to wear all your woollies a lot 😻that blanket is going to be super cozy! Xxx
Hello! We have a friend whose time is split between the US and coastal Australia, and he said he didn't realize how much the lack of sun affected him until he started living part time in Australia.
@@alovelyyarn I totally agree 👍🏻
I LOVED the Starless Sea. Enjoy! And I loved your podcast too! I like all the snippets.
That's so good to hear! I haven't started it yet but plan to start it soon. Thank you so much for watching and your kind words!
Such a peaceful little break I have when I sit down for one of your episodes. Don't need fancy equipment apparently, because your subscribers love whatever you seem to do! YOu have inspired me to knit a garter stitch blanket soon....jsut as son as I finish my giant granny square ;)
Awww. Thank you so much, Monica. ❤️
hey, amber - i can't wait to see your progress on your scrappy afghan. i've been trying to get other projects done for aaaages so that i could start one, but with dk, because i'm not as brave as you 😉. it's the perfect winter project. btw, good for you on finding ways to get through winter. ❄️☀️❄️☀️
Certainly not a mish mash Amber, I love seeing all the snippets. The ceramics were lovely. Enjoy your new Blanket project ❤
Thank you bunches, Maree!
Amber! I live in Maine and I too, make myself go outside, usually walk for one hour, unless it's icey rain. It's good for exercise and good for your mental health. Coincidentally, am making a Stephen West Garter Squish blanket with left over worsted yarn. Am holding scraps with a neutral color throughout. I loved Night Circus. I listened to The Starless Sea on audiobook and liked that too. Right now I'm reading The Life of Elves by Muriel Barberry. The language is beautiful. There are a lot of characters to remember even though the author created a glossary to help the reader with that. I'm not sure I'd recommend this book but will withhold my judgement on that until it's finished. Your videos are nicely done. Calm and conversational. I do have an author recommendation: Louise Dickenson Rich. Start with: We Took To The Woods. She wrote many books about her life. She's no longer living. Thanks for all your hard work in making these videos!
Thank you so much for the book recommendations. I actually just returned The Starless Sea to the library. I got about 1/3 in and just could not get interested in it. I couldn't focus on it and wasn't enjoying it. Lol. It's funny how that happens with some books.
Amber, thank you for another cozy episode! I really enjoy these little snippets from your life. ❤️ I've made a few garter blankets before and you definitely don't need a paid pattern for that. The free one by Stephen West is very good. Can't wait to see your scrappy blanket! 🥰 Stay warm and take care!
Thank you so much, Jana!
I am so inspired make a scrappy blanket, you have a beautiful cozy home Amber..
Thank you so much! I am loving making this blanket. It is flying off the needles!
Hi Amber, it was lovely catching up on your vlogs. I just wanted to thank you and your viewers for your prayers and kindness last month. My surgery went very well and I am home recovering and doing really well. I still have a ways to go but still try to get out each day for a short walk as the days have been rather dreary here in NJ. I’ve been doing lots of knitting, cross stitch and hand sewing which has been really lovely. Looking forward to seeing more vlogs. Thanks again for all your kindness. Cheryl
Hello Cheryl! I am soooo happy to hear that your surgery went well and you are now recovering nicely! That's so wonderful!
Hello Amber…. I really enjoy seeing snippets of your life…we are in the thick of summer here and I’m looking forward to autumn… I find the oppressive heat just saps my energy…so a cool drink in the shade of a tree with a good book is my go to … I’m also reading Richard Osman, am now onto his second book, The man who died twice… your clay makes are great ….I have been contemplating a scrappy blanket for such a long time, perhaps a winter project…
( I hope you found my very long spinning wheel take interesting..!!!) take care… xx
I loved the clay projects! Also, my grandma paints with oils, she used to paint plein air and sometimes still does with fellow artist friends. I have a painting I did with her oils when I was 10 or so of a flower pot, it’s in my closet 😂 she also taught me to knit although I feel like I knit more than she does, she prefers painting and gardening!
That is so awesome!
I loved this video. Here in the UK we’ve just had a welcome break from dark, wet weather and been blessed with a few days of frosty, glorious sunshine. I’ve got well wrapped up in snuggly knitted things and forced myself outside. I’ve felt amazing. Your fire pit has got me wondering if I could get one. I don’t have a chimney in my home and miss 🔥 flames 🔥
I’m looking forward to your next video 🙏
Isn't a cozy fire so nice???? We were supposed to have a fireplace in our home, but we took it out of the houseplan when we built in an attempt to save money. I always slightly regret that decision every winter. Lol.
I just love all your crafting! I wish I had a pottery place where I live. I had one of those as a kid and spent a lot of weekends there. Thanks for sharing. I enjoy your vlogs.
It is a nice way to spend a few hours on a Saturday. The one we went to was about 45 minutes from our house, but I'm used to having to drive to experience those kind of things! lol.
It looks like you have found lots of ways to cope with the cold, cloudy, winter days. I too appreciate any day with sunshine, even if it's cold outside. January is almost over and that is the worst month for me. Thanks for sharing bits of your life with us.
Hello Barbara! Yes, I've been learning a lot over the years about what helps me in the winter. Going outdoors every day has been huge for me! Thank you for watching!
i loved this vlog.. love seeing a bit of this and that..i cant wait to see how your blanket progresses...
Thank you!! 😊
Thank you Amber for another enjoyable cozy vlog. I always enjoy spending time watching your day to day snippets from your part of the world. Editing is perfect, thank you. Keep warm and enjoy making the blanket. 😊
Thank you so much!
I loved watching Bob Ross. 🥰
My kids and I will still put him on from time to time. He's so relaxing to listen to.
We have cold rainy weather all winter but we try and get out almost everyday, as you said just dress warm!
Yes! I invested in good cold weather gear and now I love being out, no matter the weather.
Hi Amber- I really enjoy your vlogs because they are open and calm. I like your eye for capturing light coming into your spaces and the beauty of your surroundings, both inside and outside of your home. They don’t feel disjointed at all to me. My seasonal preferences are reversed, as winter is our most comfortable season. Summers here are brutal, but we have to get outside! Thank you for sharing your weeks with us.
Thank you so much! Your words are so kind and encouraging! Thanks for bringing light into my life with your kindness!
Definitely icord as you go. It’ll be a long slog otherwise. Loved your life share - thank you. And reading The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman. Aa few seniors living in a posh facility together set out to solve crimes. Very light, quite delightful.
Hi Isabel! Thank you so much! Also, thanks for that book recommendation. I like light mystery books!!! Nothing too creepy or suspenseful, but enough to keep me turning the pages!
It was a lovely vlog, it made my heart smile.
Your clay pieces are so cute.
You won't believe this, I read The Night Circus awhile ago, liked it so much bought my own copy and read it again. I got The Starless Sea for Christmas and will be starting it soon. Let me know how you like it.
I also love water color, I hope you will show some of your work.
I am definitely going to take a look at Stephen West's blanket.
Thank you for sharing your days.
Take care
Hello Dee! I am LOVING the garter stitch blanket! Loving it! So glad I casted it on! Thank you so much for watching!
I've missed you Amber - so glad to see you're back! Thank you for sharing your days with us! Your bagels look AMAZING!! Can you share your sourdough recipe/knowledge please? I would love to try it!!
Hello Maria! Thank you so much! I feel like I'm still an advanced beginner when it comes to sourdough. I just started it last summer. However, I have used Farmhouse on Boone for a reference and the bagel recipe is actually from a free e-book from her. I think I just had to sign up for her newsletter to be able to download the e-book.
@A Lovely Yarn thank you so much Amber! I actually tried sourdough using rye flour last year and used to get great "bubbles" but the breads never came out great...hard as a rock usually 😆 I have actually watched Farmhouse on Boone before but need to revisit obviously, since your breads come out beautifully! Thanks again and see you next time!
Thank you for sharing snippets of your week. Although we do not live where winters are as cold as yours, i have trouble getting myself outdoors during the colder months. I totally agree that cooping up without going outside isn’t a great choice. Appreciate the reminder and encouragement to get out there. Funnily enough, while I most definitely prefer summer, my husband is one of those that prefer the colder months.
Hi Gail! Yes, getting outdoors is so important for me all year round. Thanks so much for watching!
I, too, do not like these gray damp sunless months of winter here in Pa. I’ve tried to convince my husband to go to Florida in winter but he will not. It’s easy to stay indoors especially when it’s windy. You have inspired me to try to go outside more. I think you are referring to Stephen Wests Garter Squish blanket. I have made one and working on a second. You’ll love it . Thanks for sharing your reading. I just finished reading “Is this all there is to life?” By Ray Steadman. It is teaching on the book of Ecclesiastes. Now have started reading “Creating moments of joy along the Alzheimer’s Journey”. My husband has some dementia and this is a great book ❣️.. thanks for sharing your days with us 😎
Hello Dinah! Yes, getting outside is so important to me! You are right, it was Garter Squish and you are also right in that I'm highly enjoying it! I can't believe how much I've gotten done in a few days!
Hi Amber! I loved how your clay pieces turned out and you all did a fantastic job on your ceramic pieces.
Thank you for sharing your week with us.
Thank you so much, Sabrina!
Wow I marked 6 of these patterns....lovethis episode.
I would make The Antler Hat ❤
Wow! Six! That's so awesome that you found so many that you liked! Thanks for your input into the pattern I should make. That one was high on my list.
Loved this video.
Omg I love the clay mushrooms! I want to see the watercolor painting you and your grandfather made, please. Rachelle in Seattle
Hello! I will try to remember to show it in my next winter vlog. :)
I’m really enjoying your winter vlogs. They’re great!♥️🍄
Thanks so much, Patti!
All of your clay creations came out so cute, Amber! You've definitely inspired me to give it a try!!
Thank you so much, Amy! It was a lot of fun!
I would definitely knit the icord edge as I go.
Hi Patsy! I ended up deciding on doing an applied I-cord when the blanket is done. I know I might regret that, but I really wanted the edging to be one solid color!
Awesome vlog never a mish mash love the snippets into each day……I love the poetry you’ve done both at home and at shop all of you……wonderful pieces…..I love the library you’ve inspired me to go visit mine tomorrow…..I need new books….scrappy blanket fun…I’d love to come visit you by the fire 😄 wish I was closer……thank you always for sharing…..your bagels look awesome….I’ve got to find some starter….I’d love to try…..❤blessings!
Hi Rhonda! Thank you so much! You're always so sweet and encouraging! Did you want to try the dehydrated starter? It takes a bit longer to get it going. Mine took three weeks even though what I was reading online made it seem like it should only take several days! I will mail you some if you would like. It's a lot easier to get wet starter if you can find someone local to you that has some, but the dehydrated is another way to try.
@@alovelyyarn yes I would but will also look for wet ….. thank you…..can i send you shipping $ 😊
What a cozy video... thanks for sharing.love your cute little clay items .I do a bit of colored pencil.wiah I could paint..maybe someday..we'd love to see what you've done!
Hello Kathie! Thank you so much!
@@alovelyyarn forgot to tell you best books..A Walk to Remember,all of Mauve Binchey books..more later!
The pottery is so pretty. What a talented family! Thanks for sharing the books. They look interesting. I've always made art too. I hope you share some of your paintings. I look forward to seeing the blanket. Lots of pretty scraps to work with.
Thank you so much, Dana! Maybe I'll show some watercolor some time.
Another lovely, cosy vlog. Thank you Amber. Those bagels looked absolutely yummy 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Loved this vlog! I just started with watercolours again, to hopefully design Oliviers birth announcement cards, and you’ve been excellent company 😊
Oh that sounds like such a lovely past time! What a wonderful keepsake you will have then! Thanks so much for watching, Nora!
Loved that Amber!,,!

Elaine🏡🏡🏡
Hi Elaine! Thank you so much for watching and saying hello!
Great podcast!!!!
Thank you, Annette!
I really enjoyed this vlog, Amber! Thank you for sharing! Tonight or tomorrow I need to start knitting a Mermaid Tail for one of my 4 year old granddaughters. I like historical fiction, and I'm reading "That Summer in Berlin" by Lecia Cornwall. It's very good so far!
Oh thank you so much, Debbie! And thanks for the book recommendation. Historical fiction is one of my faves! Have you ever read "The Indigo Girl?" It's a really good one and based on a real woman's life!
@@alovelyyarn I don't think I have read it. I'll look it up at the library! Thanks!
What a lovely video
You are so kind! Thank you!
💛💛💛
what a great idea to sit outside and knit in the sun by a fire!! All the clay pieces were great... I fell in love with Lilys mushroom I wonder if shed make some to sell? I love to buy some of those!
Hello! I actually made the mushroom pieces. I have a thing for mushrooms! Lol. I think they're so adorable, and I love looking for them when I'm out in the woods. I know nothing about them and I would not be able to forage them for food, so I just enjoy them right where they are and then make pretend ones out of clay and yarn! Lol.
@@alovelyyarn oh well that is an excellent mushroom!!
Love sitting out my the open fire
Me too, Judy!
Love your blog mish mash ❤
Do you have a daily routine that you stick to? You seem to get so much done. And also be able to knit.
Hi Laura. I guess I do have a very loose routine, but basically I make a list of my daily tasks and then try to get as much done in the morning as possible. I seem to lose gumption as the day goes on. Maybe I'll talk about that in a future vlog.
Oh, I absolutely love your homemaking, knitting - cozy vlogs so much, Amber! They always bring a ton of comfort to my world. Also, those sour-dough bagels looked quite delicious.. something I'd love to try in the future. Do you bake them off or fry them (bagels?)
Hello River! Thank you so much! That is so kind of you! And I bake my bagels! I can't eat them, but my family loves them!
Watching from Gander Newfoundland Canada January 03 2023
Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed you Vlogmas. I like your vlog format. My husband and I lived in Pittsburgh for grad school years ago and seeing the yellow bridges and tunnels brought back memories. We are now in Texas and enjoy the sunny weather. I would love to start a cozy comfort throw. What cream yarn are you using?
Hello! I am using Knit Picks bare yarn in the Muse base. I actually talk about it in the regular podcast episode that I just posted today. Thank you so much for watching and taking time to comment!
Hi Amber! Another sweet vlog of your winter days. I always ♥️ your vlogs, in all seasons. I am just about to cast on a garter blanket too! I was wondering what you decided about that i-cord? Too cast-on at first or later? I watched Stephen West's i-cord bind on. Too tedious for me!
I love your thoughts about getting outside, no matter the weather😉 something I need to do, even if I need wool n an umbrella in my rainy WASHINGTON state! 😂 Happy mid-week to you♥️
Hi Rosemary! I actually decided to do an applied I-cord edging when the blanket it all knit. I want the edging to all be the same color. I just posted a knitting episode today and talked about my progress on it. I'm having a blast knitting it! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind and encouraging words! They mean so much to me!
@A Lovely Yarn oh yes, I saw that on your ig. I decided to do the same. I-cord after I'm done knitting it. After watching many tutorials on I-cord cast on, I said forget that I just wanna knit! I agree, the same color all the way around. Have a blessed Wednesday 🙌
@@alovelyyarn And say what?? Another lovely yarn vlog? Yippee! After errands are done! See ya later😉
I love your mish mash of a vlog as you say! It’s lovey!! I have just discovered I can’t eat gluten and I feel very stuck.. I only know a few things to cook that our safe. Do you have any tips? Suggestions? I hope you have some sunny days! And thank you for sharing you making!!!
Hi Bobbi! It is definitely a process! But it's so much easier to be GF now than it was 14 years ago when I started. Oh my, the options were so extremely limited back then. My biggest advice is just to be really careful about reading labels! Watch out for soy sauce. It's used to season a lot of different dishes and also as a meat marinade in some restaurants. And unless it's GF soy sauce, it will have gluten in it. I was accidentally exposed to gluten this way, so now I'm extra careful. It's easy at home; much harder when eating out.
@@alovelyyarn thank you so much
I love your pretty blue tin with all the scrappy balls of yarn! Where did you get it?
Hello! I found that at an antique and vintage store a couple of years ago. Isn't it cute???
Hello! Your vlog popped up in suggestions as I searched for knitting vlogs. I'm so glad I clicked! This was great, and cozy, and enjoyable. You have a beautiful place. I have a random question ...you have a painting or print on your wall of the woman at the piano. Took me by surprise! I have the same now that was my mom's before she passed, but some of the background is absent with only part of the fireplace. It's a print from early '60s I think, at least that was when it was given to my mom. Is yours original or a print? And do you know if it has a title?
Hello! Mine is a print, but it is huge! I found it at a yard sale for a few dollars about ten years ago. I'm not sure of the title. I had never seen a print like it before, but I really liked it and bought it!
Hi Amber will you be doing any garden vlogs.
I haven't really put a ton of thought into that yet. Maybe? Summer gets really busy for me. I will think about that! Thanks so much for watching!
Wonderful episode, as always! Thank you for sharing your talents; very inspirational! Question: What paints do you use on the air dry clay projects? I too love watercolor...truly a beginner. I really enjoy, and have learned so much from “Emma Jane Lefebvre” TH-cam channel. Thought I would share! ❤
Hello Jeanette! We just use regular acrylic paints and then we "glaze" them with "Triple Glaze" for the shine and protection! Thank you for sharing that watercolor TH-cam channel! I'll check it out!
Hi Amber who needs over tech vlogs yours are lovely 😊. I’m reading Jo Jo Moyes The Giver of Stars ✨. Please let us know how Wheat Belly recipes go 🙏👍.
Thank you so much, Zena! I read that book last year. It was a good one! The Wheat Belly cookbook was just meh. I really didn't find many helpful recipes in it. Part of it was because I am also lactose intolerant and can't have milk and many of the recipes had dairy in them.
@@alovelyyarn thanks for letting me know 😀
The clay items you made at home, were those air dry clay pieces?
Yes, they were. We then painted them with acrylic paint and then glazed them with Triple Glaze.
Lynn here on Hubby's phone mines playing up 😏, Hi , I've just found you and amazingly you seem to like the same things as me , knitting, painting , books , cooking , I also like sewing , I'm not too good at any , but I have a go 😂😂, I'm in England 😊, and I was wondering, have you watched Miranda Hills on you tube , she absolutely loves her books and then on the knitting front have you watched Ali from My Wonderful little life , she's in Kent England and she's lovely , I'm sure you'll love her , I'm definitely going to subscribe to you , tell me which part of America do you live ?, I'm in Yorkshire England 😊, Take Care Love xx 🤗 I'm looking forward to watching x
Hi Lynn! Thank you for watching! I've never heard of Miranda Hills so I will check her out, but I do like Ali and have watched her for a couple of years. We live in the state of Pennsylvania which is on the east coast of the United States. However, I am far from the actual coast; about 5 or so hours from it. Pennsylvania is a very wide state and takes about 5 hours to get across.
@@alovelyyarn Hi Lynn here again on Hubby's phone 😏, tell me do you watch Taco Stacks , I think he's from Pennsylvania, maybe he's from a different side to you I don't know 🤔, but I absolutely Love him and Paper and mouse do you watch her ( Renee ) sorry if their miles away from you , anyway take care x
