    So glad to have you back. Take care of yourself first. This is your channel and you should not have to worry about keeping up with other people’s demands. You post when you can and what you want. ❤️❤️

    I am SO HAPPY for you! I was nodding throughout your video. I totally understand what happened, because the same happens to me. You were overworked, overwhelmed, and burnt out. I'm an author, and I'm working on my 21st book. I used to be able to write two books a year. Now, it's one book in a little over a year. The past few years have been so hard on everyone, essentially creatives. Our minds have to be in a good place to create, and that's been extremely difficult, if not impossible. You did exactly the right thing by taking time to rediscover yourself and what makes you truly happy. You needed time to heal, and you took it. It takes strength to step away. I'm so glad you're back, recharged and happy. When you're ready to take online orders at your store, please let us know. I want to support you and the small businesses you discover. I'll absolutely keep watching.

    I think this is the hidden truth behind having a successful TH-cam Channel - it requires excessive time commitment and the intermittent ‘dark’ comments can harm our spirit. I am glad you took the needed break away from the frantic social media cycle that is easy to get trapped in! Congrats on changing the ‘model’ to suit your personal need for a sane approach to sharing your creative gifts. I hope your “dream comes true’ - you are awesome!

    Annoo I have missed you! 💕💕😘 So happy you have been well & nothing terrible happened to you or family.No shame in taking an " electronic detox" and bringing joy back to your life💕. I am excited to enjoy New Annoo on YT! Personal growth is a good healthy thing. My last 18 months haven't been so good. Found your channel many years ago as I am not able to get out of the house much last few years but have many of the same interests that you expressed so feel your new content will be exciting and I'm looking forward to your new videos. I've suffered "burn out & stress" in the past with supporting a huge group my daughter was involved with and I get it. It does end up taking control of other aspects of your life & personally for me and had to take a break. Glad you are well & took the long deserved break you needed. Excited to look at your new yarn shop! I've always thought you have wonderful taste in yarn & have purchased some of the same yarns in the past you used so Congratulations 🎉 on your new store. Have fun because life is too short! 😘🎊🎉💕

    Beloved Annoo . . . I know exactly how you felt. I’ve pretty much left most of social media. You have helped this 75 year old woman in immeasurable ways through learning how to crocheting . . . Thank you, Dear One. God Bless you and yours always and in all ways in Jesus’ Holy, Mighty and Victorious in the Highest and to the Uttermost Name. Amen and So Be It!

    I have been praying that you were well. You were missed. I am so grateful for your tutorials, as they helped me create beautiful items to donate.
    Self and family should always come first. Do what ever makes your heart sing. Otherwise, what is life for. I always enjoy listening to people's stories and journals, I think many of us are snoopy that way.

That’s wonderful you have your own store 🏬 I am happy for you ,its good to take time off to regroup ,every one dose it every now and again . Xoxoxo thank you 🙏 for coming back to us .

    First of all welcome back. Missed you. So glad to c you are doing good. Totally get it. My family has been encouraging me to sell my projects. I thumb my nose to it for the reasons u mentioned. Knitting and crocheting is my passion and I don’t want to do anything to lose that. I make things for family and friends as a memory. Things when I’m gone they have those memories of me. It’s something I enjoy. I don’t ever want to lose that feeling with deadlines etc. I don’t ever want my hobby to feel like a job. Knowing me I would lose interest in something I love. I don’t ever want it to be a stress factor. I had marketing ppl approach me and my answer is always no My family doesn’t always understand that but it’s my decision. I want to keep it fun and enjoyable and not a chore or something I would start to dread. U need to be you and true to yourself. If ppl don’t understand that, that’s their problem and not yours. Do you 😊

  • @amywood2998
    @amywood2998 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Congratulations ❤ I appreciate you sharing your heart, your struggles, and vulnerability with us. I love your tutorials, but I also love learning new things and look forward to whatever it is you share in the future. I am a crocheter and I have been trying to learn to knit and find it so difficult- so I for one would LOVE to hear about your knitting journey and would love some knitting tutorials- no pressure! Congratulations on finding yourself again, and for having the courage to stay true to yourself. I know it is easier said than done, but do not worry about the negative comments/people. Your worth is NOT in them! You are amazing and wonderful and I look forward to any adventures you share! XO ❤

    Hi Anoo!!!!!!!!! You were the second channel I came across when I began my new crochet adventure. It was about a year ago, and I’ve made so many of your projects ❤️ thank you for leaving us stuff to do because we need you! Congratulations on your new store! I dream of being a yarn shop owner too one day 🙂🤗🙋🏻‍♀️

    Everything you've said makes perfect sense and it's one of the main reasons I've not started a channel. I enjoy crochet as my avocation and don't want to ruin it by making it my vocation. I'm happy to see you back, in whatever aspect you've returned!

  • @craftcozychronicles
    @craftcozychronicles ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love that you are going to make your channel be YOU! I follow lots of crochet channels and my favorite ones are those that just are themselves and upload stuff that makes them happy- instead of turning their channel into businesses that are very prim and proper. Have fun, this is your place! If you have fun, we will have fun watching!

  • @kerryburton9544
    @kerryburton9544 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    I totally understand.
    You have to do what you need
    I too use my fibre arts as my therapy and I cannot imagine how much pressure you had piled on you
    Don’t worry about us .. always put yourself first
    You have inspired so many of us and have certainly taught me so much about designing just by sharing your designs
    So I will always be here watching and waiting for whenever you have time to share
    Love you 😘

    I'm so glad you're back. I missed you and all your beautiful designs.
    Like you said, this is your channel. You run it the way you see fit. If people like it, they will watch and if they don't, they can move on.
    I pray that you will find happiness in this again. Don't let the bad comments bring you down. There will always be negative people out there who only spew ugliness.
    I love your kindness, your creativity and your soft-spoken way.
    If you decide to leave again, pay us no mind. Your happiness and contentment are what matters.
    That being said I'm still glad you're back and I can't wait to see what you have in store.
    God bless.

I am ecstatic to see you back😂 You are my favorite designer ever❤ So talented and a great teacher🎉 Now that I've heard your full story, I fully understand! At one point in my life, I was working full time, raising a family, working on my masters degree and doing bodybuilding competitions. Afier 4 years of bodybuilding, I had to give it up and focus on the more important things. You do what you want and need in your life! We are just greatful those rumors were just that! I will keep watching your channel. I will visit your store next time I travel to Massachusetts 😊.

    I would love even a very short video showing your fish and telling how you started. I've kept aquariums for over 25 years (had 5 at one time) and not once come across another woman with thiat hobby!
    Good to hear you're enjoying life more, I know how easy it can be to get super focused on one thing and get burned out. Looking forward to future videos 📹

  • @luvastandardbred8270
    @luvastandardbred8270 ปีที่แล้ว

    Welcome back sweetie!! Even if you do one video a month, I would love to meet your fish! Annoo Designs could include your resin work , knitting, telling us about wonderful theater and concerts, whatever you want to share with us. I also listen to audio books while I crochet. Even share your favorite books with us?. So happy to see you back, healthy and happy.
    Ps...I've been horse crazy since I was a child When I turned 40, I got one of my own. I could have kept saying "I can't afford it." I didn't want to end up 80 years old and saying "I wish I had gotten a horse when I was younger.". I've had him 21 years now and he's a great love of my life. I'm SO HAPPY YOU DID IT! And that you're happy and proud.

    Oh my goodness,I was just thinking of you a few days ago. I wondered what you were doing. I’m so happy that you are back. I completely understand where you are coming from. When a hobby becomes a job there are more demands on you, it’s no longer a fun hobby,it’s become work. If I feel pressured to make an item, I lose interest in the project. Congratulations on your new store, I’m excited for you. You do what’s good for you and post when you can. I’ll be here to support you. 💜🙏🏻

Your creations have been given gifts and l have bragged about your gift. I continually have been credited with being talanted and all l did was listen and learn.
    Enough if l keep going on you won't fit through the door into your oasis.

But you've set an example to stop and reexamine how You need to live You're life. As Tabitha Brown says, 'cause that's Your business!' Thank you for signing up to share your talent because you didn't have to. ❤❤

I doubt without doing it anyone knows the time and thought involved in creating content for social media. I'd love to visit your yarn shop but I'm in East Tennessee. I love your videos about yarn, especially luxury yarns. As far as TH-cam is concerned I'll always be watching! Much love to you. Good luck on the new adventure. Sooo excited for you.

    Good to hear you were ok ☺️ I can imagine and completely do understand your reason to take the time off. Do whatever floats your boat. 🥰
    Indeed chrocheting/knitting does help me going through these times. Started with your lovely Cocoon Cardigan back 2019/2020 and still working 😆

    Annoo, we are so alike in that I love crochet, watercolor, ceramics, needle work, and fish husbandry. I have been pleaded with many times to go into business, but I have always known that it would end up taking all of my love of the creative side of me. I am a French Canadian whose family originally moved to Leominster, MA, but I have been transplanted to Georgia now. I am so happy you’re back, and please post all of your creative works. Enjoy!

    I just want to say how happy I am to see you. I’ve subscribed to your TH-cam channel since you started your channel. I have made many of your designs. I love how you talk to people honestly. I think anyone that’s a fiber artist has been in the same place as you, TH-cam can be a overly critical world. Congratulations on your own yarn shop ❤.

    Yay! I'm so happy you're back and reclaiming your life! It is wonderful to hear your lovely voice again and I'm totally here for what comes next. I too am multi-crafty and sometimes end up in a rabbit hole of focus on one thing for a while, but always find my way back to my other lives as well. If you're not learning and growing, what are you here for? Sending big welcoming hugs, applause and accolades. And if I ever find myself near Weston, I'll be sure to have your shop on my list! 🎉

I did miss you, I totally understand and would be delighted to watch whatever content you do in your videos, I used to crochet for a TH-camr but I didn’t have time to myself so I had to quit because I love crocheting also for my family and friends and making fun things so I do understand to a smaller degree. You are a sweetheart of a person and I’ve always enjoyed watching your videos! God bless and happy crafting!❤

    I crochet my small amount of scraps for hats and scarves for charity. No worries about explaining your absence. Happy crocheting!

    I know you are a very busy woman I don't know if you'll see this or not, but I just have to say I always loved your videos to learn or to just hear your calm voice, as you spoke of your passion for crochet. I think many of your amazing fans would agree with me when I say I will be here no matter how long of a break you need. Self-healing is so important, and you need to be able to have other ventures in life unapologetically.
    Also, if you want to take a break from crochet to do other things, travel, shopping, talking about favorite books or any other crafts, whatever you want, you can also share those things with us too. If it's a desire of yours to do that too. Or just do them for yourself (and family) and not worry about TH-cam and just enjoy your life. You are such a pleasant and kind person, and we are so grateful for what you share with us of your life and passion.
    Lastly, congratulations on your yarn shop, that's so exciting! I'm glad to see you back and I hope you take it at your own pace from now on worry free (as much as possible lol) and just live your very best life. Thank you for all your beautiful patterns and sharing with us all.

    You are so right! We all grow and change as the years go on. I find myself in the middle of a change right now. My oldest son turned 21 on the 22nd of May and then on the 23rd of May he closed on his very own home. He moved out that weekend. So now, I have an empty bedroom that is going to become my new craft room so I can bring my sewing crafts up from the cold basement. Bring the rest of my stashed yarn that is in totes downstairs, up here and into my new craft room and maybe, just maybe, it will stop me from purchasing multiples of yarn I already have. Probably not, let's just be honest here. 😂😂 While I am so excited to be able to finally have a proper craft room, I miss him horribly. It feels so odd to not see him every day after work. I am having a much harder time than I really thought I would have with this. I still have our youngest son at home. He is finishing up 8th grade this week and next week. Then he will start high school in the fall. He has plans to go to college (for now, that could change). If he does go to college, most likely it will be in state so he won't be far and will probably come home on the weekends if he isn't living at home. After all, we have 4 really good, major colleges within a 2 hour drive. I have expanded the crafts that I like to do, I found in addition to yarn and fabric, I like working on simple wood projects. Whether it is making a jewelery hanger from some scrap wood and hooks, or refinishing an old sewing cabinet that was gifted to me. I like them all. Oh, and playing around with my Cricut and vinyl or the ink. My youngest and I want to try our hand at some Tie-dye shirts this summer and then putting sayings on them. Just for us, if they work out, then maybe making some as gifts for Christmas. My point is, taking time to find your passion is never a bad thing. I used to make and sell handmade handbags, wallets (both men and women's) backpacks, duffle bags, overnight backs, crossbody bags, basically if it was a bag of any shape and size, I made it, even diaper bags and briefcases. I made them with cotton fabrics, lace fabric, silks, satins, cork, vegan leather and real leather, suede and lamb skin leather. I made a business out of it. I did it for about 5 years or so, but it got to be where I was taking only custom orders and I wasn't afforded the time to be able to make what I wanted to make. After all, my tag line was Class and Sassy, You Can Have it All! So all of my bags looked classy as hell on the outside, but there was always a fabric, even if it was nothing but a pocket lining, that would have a funny saying. One of my favorites, and I still have plenty of this fabric, it said, "Put Your Big Girl Panties On And Deal With It!" Which also happens to be a favorite saying of mine. Lol It was a fabric Joann's used to sell. Not sure if they still do, but I think I still have at least 5 yards of it left.

    I learned a while back.. "when the pressures on.... the fun is gone"... I am retired and now 76... living a wonderful life of getting up and doing NOTHING i don't want to in a day... (other than maybe a Dr. appointment)....be well... take care of yourself! My days now consist of making quilts... knitting , crocheting and cooking suppers!

    Hello Annoo, I have at times watched your channel, there are so many to watch, I've watched so many men & woman crochet & knit. I'm glad you took a break, we all need it some time or another & like you said if you stop enjoying it, it's time to take a break.
    So glad you're back, refreshed and blessed with new ideas.

    Annoo, dear, I’m so happy that you are back. I just want you to know, that though your beautiful content, you’ve thought me to understand crochet design and you gave me the courage to start working on my own beautiful designs, not just following the instructions all the time. I will always be grateful for your content and as a content creator myself, I completely understand exactly about what you’re talking about- I’m on the break from Instagram and blogging also for 18 months now and you again gave me a courage, this time to get back to my followers.. maybe with some crochet content.
    sending you love

    Welcome back Annoo 🤗 I learnt how to crochet from you, from your lovely tutorials and I will always watch your videos. I'm up for whatever you post, change is a good thing 😉
    Although I missed you, I am glad that you took this break and got rested.
    Much love and appreciation for everything you do 😘😘😘
    P. S. Lots of success to your store!

    Welcome back. i am so happy for you with your new yarn shoppe. i look forward to seeing your new content. i have been more into knitting lately and it will be great to see your knitting content as well as any of your other life passions. i have had many people say i should sell my crochet/knit items but the few items i have done for profit was taking the joy out of my craft. i love to crochet but i don't want to make it a job. i don't want to loose my passion. these days a lot of yarn crafters are incorporating other skills into their channel. it really shows a fuller side of them.

  • @bethhasilo1536
    @bethhasilo1536 ปีที่แล้ว

    So glad you took this time for yourself. Putting out YT videos must be a grueling task even if it is your passion plus you then expose yourself to possible negativity which takes a strong person to overcome. I have often thought to start a small business for Crochet & my other passion, Wreath Making now that I am retired. However, I have decided not to do that because I don't want the pressure of deadlines to steal my joy & lose my passion for creating anything at all. Plus life happens & sometimes the Crafts need to be set aside for a bit. So I will Crochet or make Wreaths for Family & Friends (for free) which provides me enough work for an entire year...it just works out somehow. So please post whatever your heart desires because those of us who love to follow you will be here to support & enjoy watching. 💛

    You taught me how to crochet, which is my solace, too. I learned so much, and thank you for this gift. But, I release you from any expectations or need to explain, period. Be true to yourself. Keep your boundaries so that you don't lose yourself. Play, enjoy your life, evolve in joy. We love and support you. ❤

    OMG Annoo, I hate to hear all the stress, it should be fun, and about hobby. I modified your Carribean Queen Cardigan just last month for my summer hoodie & I just realized you've been missing 😢 (I was busy knitting too 😂). You know, from how I see it, you just do what you like. No need to design new stuff, like, every month. And I'm already happy to hear you read all the comments, but seriously, I think you don't have to reply every comment, unless the ones with important questions. You could just give a love to other comments. I wish you shop will be a good thing for you & your happiness, please, BE HAPPY! Awaiting our new future in youtube-relationship ❤

    🎉🎊✨ WELCOME BACK Dear Annoo ! Je suis tellement heureuse de vous savoir en bonne santé ! Merci de nous avoir rassurées ! Cela dit je comprends parfaitement que vous voulez prendre un peu de recul par rapport à la charge de travail générée par votre chaine TH-cam ... Cela devient vite contraignant surtout quand vous avez, comme vous, beaucoup d'aura et de talent ! 😁😇🤩 Alors, profitez bien de votre nouveau trésor (votre super magasin 🥰) et surtout prenez bien le temps pour vous en vous faisant plaisir car avec toutes les vidéos et tutos que vous nous avez généreusement laissés nous, les adeptes du crochet, sommes servis pour pas mal de temps, nous avons de quoi nous inspirer parmi tous vos modèles ! 🤗 Je suivrai bien sûr vos prochaines vidéos avec toujours autant de plaisir mais pensez à prendre soins de vous car vous êtes quelqu'un de bien et donc précieux ! 🤗😊 (j'espère que vous avez un bon traducteur mais je crois avoir compris que vous parlez un peu le Français ? 🤭) 😁

    Schön, dass Du Dich nun selbst gefunden und gestoppt hast, ich freue mich so für Dich🤗.
    Dies ist die Zeit dafür. Lass los, alles hat seine Zeit. Es ist wie ein Bewusst- seins-sprung. Fühle Dich ganz herzlichst gedrückt.

    I understand why you felt the way you did. I have been crocheting since I am 10 yrs old and like you I love crochet but I have many craft loves. My family always says to me why don’t you open a store because you make such beautiful things and my response is “then it will not be fun anymore”. Glad you are back on your terms and if you have any haters just delete them ❤😊
