Take care Jeanette ❤Your videos are always a treat to watch no matter what life has been happening,as you say it can’t be all about the good times as that’s not reality 😊 You bring a smile to us it doesn’t matter if you haven’t got any crafting to share ,I enjoy watching so Thanks 🙏 so much for sharing your life with us ❤
Jeanette I love watching you whether you are crafting or not. This is real life we have our ups and we have our downs. Remember you haven’t been well either so your body is telling you to rest. My life is never easy but watching these vlogs really cheers me up. I got my nails done today and went for gold sparkles. Big big hugs 🫂 🎄 xx
Jeanette, I'm here in volgmas first and foremost for the advent opening 😁 which I have loved watching, anything above and beyond is a bonus 🤣. Keep being you, that's what we are all here for. Kx
Jeanette we love watching you and understand we all have our ups and downs.. and loose our crafting mo jo... we all love your chats and don't mind if you have no interest at the moment in crochet or knitting.. we all love hearing about your day x x x
Don't beat yourself up Jeanette, we watch you for you as the lovely person you are. You keep everything real, life has its downs at times so we all understand. Your crafting will still be there when you feel like picking it up again. Take care of yourself 💐
I know just how you're feeling Jeanette as I also lost my Mum on 21st December 2007. I find getting through the run up to Christmas that bit harder as well. Don't worry about your crafting mojo, it will come back, just make whatever you fancy doing. I love watching you and you always cheer me up. Sending you love and hugs 🤗
Sharing your bad times, as well as your good times, is helpful to every one of us, Jeanette - it is real life and we so appreciate your friendly chat whenever you are able to upload a video. Sending biggest hugs to you xx ❤
New subscriber here 🤗Yes, we watch podcasts for entertainment, but we watch specific channels because we are interested in the person/people. There are hundreds of knitting, crafting channels we could watch. We choose to watch your channel because of you, whether ypu are crafting or not 😊. I hope you find something to spark a little Christmas joy ❤. Get your nail polish changed every day if that is what it takes💅
Hi Jeanette, I know exactly how you feel, I’m totally with you, for some reason I this year i just can’t get into the the Christmas spirit , but 🤞we get over it soon and in time to have a very Merry Christmas, 🤶
Jeanette it is just lovely to see you and I’m so glad you kept this video. I have read so many of your comments and I agree and can relate to it too. We don’t just come to see you and all your crafts we come to see you and I love listening to what you do and have to say. It does get so hectic this time of year. I love your gifts from your friend Kate. I am really looking forward to when you do some paper crafting and journalling when you’re ready. Take care of yourself Jeanette. Your chest seems to be sounding better. You are no way a Debbie Downer, it is life and sometimes it really tries us. We love you very much and Mr C. See you tomorrow. Love from Australia ❤
Please don’t stop vlogging, we love to hear what you’ve been up to, doesn’t have to be a production line of makes. We come to visit you whatever you’re doing. We all have off times. I too lost my mum at Christmas 22 years ago on Boxing Day but every year the memories return however hard I try to remain cheerful. Hope you feel better soon, take care xx
❤🫂❤ catch ups with friends is about being here and listening while you process outloud... saying how you are feeling helps those of us who feel similar at this time this to will pass and the joy will return, just do what you need to do to move through this season 😊❤
Dear Jeanette. It's not a rubbish vlogmas. Please- if you feel like it carry on. You are doing such a wonderful job. And when crochet and knitting call you again then you will do it. Just don't worry - it's so good to just talk about what worries you. Sending you lots of hugs❤❤
It's so lovely to catch up with you again Jeanette and for keeping it real. I hope you feel better tomorrow and I'm sure once you get your past Toft makes out, you will fall in love with Toft all over again. Have a relaxing evening 🥰
We all love you and tune in to watch you and your crafting and losing your mojo with crafting and ups and downs of life are all part of that. You cheer us all up and I just love your company. Sending love and hugs😘🎄
Bell I couldn't agree more with you. Please know that Jeanette and yourself give us viewers so much pleasure to watch and try to interact with through comments. Yes life can be emotionally hard at times and that's life but the pleasure we get watching you is "our" escapism from our difficult times. We are all in this boat together and we all lose our mojo as you say. We all love you and this is a safe place for many. Xx
Thank you so much for leaving the beginning part in your video- I can't thank you enough. Friends share good times and tough times as well, we love tuning in for your honest and real content and we appreciate you being as brave and wonderful as you are for including us. To be honest, for those of us struggling at this time of the year due to family losses and other life struggles, your and Belinda's words help us feel like we're not alone and we don't have to be over the top happy all the time to be normal. I've also struggled with my crafting(making it all the worse since that's my stress reliever) and I've had to stop watching some of the christmas vlogs because was all too much- but because of you I don't feel alone or weird- I'm just human and it will be ok. This will pass. Thank you for helping me- and I'm sure many others. Sending hugs and sunshine from Florida. ❤
My dear Jeanette- I do wish I could give you a BIG HUG 🤗 but this blah will have to do instead! Would you believe that my darling Dad ( who taught me to knit 🧶) passed away very suddenly on the 22nd of December 1995- the very day before your precious Mum? Half a world away we were both going through the same thing! I’m sure that this memory plus the sadness in your family this year is really making you feel unsettled and out of sorts 😢 You’re just like me- we love hard and when you do that you suffer when things go pear shaped! And you - like me again- get so very excited about your crafting and almost imagine it done before you’ve even started it and when you get in a muddle or make mistakes ( as we all do ) it makes you feel dejected 🙁 Take it easy dear friend and be kind to yourself - much love from Elizabeth xx
Aww jeanette💕 big hug. You so often say to us "we're all friends here" and being your friends, we don't expect you to pretend life is always roses. Friends are there for the Ups and the downs. You've had a rough year, and you've been poorly too, it's not surprising nothing feels right. You must do what is best for you, we love your Vlogs, but if it's too much take a break and rest. Equally, if it helps to come on and have a chat and get it all off your chest, then do that. Give yourself a big hug. 💕 it's ok to not always be ok. We're not going anywhere Ps love your nails and the Barbie wool💕
Hi Jeannette, I think today was a lovely vlog. In a world full of fake, you are real, and that's rare these days. 💖 I'm soooooo happy Eric is coming back. 😊 Maybe you could crochet him a coat? I think he'd look adorable in a coat ..... maybe a scarf and hat too?? I'm also really looking forward to seeing your Toft makes from before. I loved that previous "show and tell" kind of video you did. 😊💗
Love seeing you your honest and true to life would much rather see you than some of these false over the top people that do my head in. You your videos please feel free to chat as much as you can ❤❤
Jeanette do not worry about the lack of crafting. You are voicing how many of us are feeling. If what your crafting brings you no joy cast on something else. Keep up vlogs going your a tonic to us all. So glad i found you been following for a few months live your papercrafting too found that this morning. ❤
Take care of yourself Jeanette. Christmas is not always jolly for everyone. I think the fact that you are disappointed with your Toft advent calendar, is not helping your crafting slump. It is difficult when you lost a loved one at Christmas. We love catching up with you and Tim even if you don’t have anything to show us. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.❤I haven’t made anything for Christmas as I had a nasty virus and then 2 weeks later my husband and I both got Covid. We live in a tiny town and all gifts are being bought locally I even left it too late for on line shopping. But the day will come weather I’m ready or not 😂❤❤
Hello there Julie - I hope I remembered your name correctly from when you introduced yourself to me as we’re both here in Tasmania 😊 on the East Coast wasn’t it? I’m sorry to hear that you and your husband have been so unwell and I just wanted to wish you the happiest of Christmases possible in the circumstances! We just have to look for the positives don’t we? Take care xx
I'm so glad you shared this video! I've been recovering from a proceedure since November 17th, and it is hard to remember it was a big procedure even though it didn't involve a scalpel. I too have been slow in my crafting. I have been working on a crochet scarecrow since around the middle of October. Just the straw and one patch to do, and to sew on his hat. Don't know why he's not finished, other than I've been so very tired all the time. I get home form work, get the cats and us fed, and sandwiches for lunch the next day and that's about it. If I can remember to keep up with the cat litter and dishes I feel like it's a miracle. So, totally understand how you feel! Also wanted to tell you I understand the hole Zac left in your hearts. We lost two cats this year, one in January and one the end of September. The one in September we had for over 13 years. Also I lost my Dad December 28th, 2017. Doesn't seem like it was so long ago, really. Made it very hard that year, especially since my birthday is December 11th, and he wasn't really able to wish me a happy birthday that year. Love the new project! Looks great. Please take care!!
Know exactly how you feel. but your vlogmas really cheers me up. I have so many UFO's but most of which will never get finished, I am a flitter, I flit from one thing to another, see something, Oh must try that ! then the next thing comes along , but hey ho who cares x
Hi Jeanette please don't gave up I really enjoy watching you and we all get are ups and downs and that's apart of life your such a lovely down to earth person so keep your heart up you'll get there ❤️ ❤❤
Dear Jeanette, thanks for your honesty, same here....lost my mom Christmas eve 2017, total shock, this time of year can be the most difficult. You make it brighter, just being normal, crafting or no crafting. I wish I could reach into the screen and give you a hug. Xx
Hi Jeanette I do think the weather doesn’t help with it being so damp and gloomy. If you have the luna lap in books the clothes do fit all the animals xx
Sorry you are feeling down Jeanette. We all get like that at times and vlogging everyday just highlights it I suppose. But you know what we all love your vlogs and your honesty and whenever I feel like that I count my blessings and am grateful for all I have. No matter how bad things are they could always be worse lol. I think you're great.
Society makes us believe everything should be all sunshine and roses. Sunshine and roses wouldn’t be so nice if we didn’t have weeds and clouds. Thanks for keeping it real.
Enjoy your vlogs all of them. Even if just chatting! Everyone needs a break from crafting from time to time. I love your lovely yarns you are getting in your advents. That little mushroom house is adorable! Your nails are lovely!!❤❤❤😊
Don't be so hard on yourself, life is life and it happens to us all. I'm not feeling the Christmas vibe this year and I have no idea why. I love your company, sending love to you & your family. xx
Hi Jeanette, our crafty friend. Please don't feel you need to apologise for being yourself. We all love your podcasts and appreciate all you do to make them happen for us. I find that sometimes I feel a bit like that at this time of year but then I remember the true meaning of Christmas and that makes a big difference. I am currently working on a Granny Wrap (Annaboo's House). It is a great mindless project for this time of year and the wrap grows quite quickly. Sending love. x
Jeanette it’s not been a rubbish vlogmas. You are the first one I watch every day and I have a lot to watch! Don’t forget you have been ill aswell. Lots of love xx
dont worry ive always had bad days with depression you get where you want to make something but you cant been like few days till you came on n showed me the reindeer i got from littlecotton rabbit think ive done them all now but love as it small
Don’t be hard on yourself, your chit chat is real life & reflects the way lots of people feel at this time of year. It’s nice not to think that you are not the only one feeling in a funk. The crafting is a bonus, most people just enjoy having someone relatable to spend time with whilst crafting themselves . Life isn’t always a bed of roses 😊
I love your vlogs, whether you craft or just chat. Today we marked 3 years since we lost our beautiful daughter. She was only 35. Miss her so much. Love is endless and so is grief. Time does not heal but we just learn to live without her. Your mojo will return after Christmas, just go with the flow till then. All the best xxx
My Eric has a yellow duffle coat and yellow wellie boots , I got the kit and he looks grand I also gave him glasses cause he kept falling of the shelf lol 😂😂😂xx
Awe hen sending you a big squeezy hug wish I could come done there and give you a real one 🤗 I think as we all get older this time of the year brings back so many memories good and bad !! Your a lovely person and I so enjoy watching you warts and all 😊 that's real life. Take care Jeanette your doing the right thing by talking about it so many people put a face on things and just end up unwell. ❤
Sometimes we just need to step back from stuff we do all the time, doesn’t mean you don’t still have that passion, just need to step back, whatever you do, do it for you not for TH-cam, it’s in the name, all about You, sending hugs and hope you find some sparkle soon xx
Don't apologize, we are here to watch your crafts, and to hear about your life. I think most of us already saw you are struggling. Belinda yesterday telling us about her father passing on the 21st of December, and today you tell about your mothers passing on that same date... In Dutch we say "gedeelde smart is halve smart" which translates to "shared sorrow is half sorrow", meaning that when you share your sad moments, it allows people to comfort you, and that softens your pain and grieve a little bit 💜. Sending you love and hugs!
❤❤love ur chats anytime,, anyhow,,,, Crafting seems not so relaxed right now ,,for some reason,,, Love it to be calm,,,,🎉🎉 And if things are abit off at any time,,,,i feel unsettled,,,, Know how you feel,, Not a downer at all,, Love the sweet gifts,,, What is the crochet shawl,,, Jeanette??looks so cozy,,,, ELAINE 🏡💕
Jeanette, we love you, keep going. You make a real difference in us watchers lives. Soon be spring and new life will appear and bring us joy. Can I ask did you make the scarf you have on, if so s the pattern shareable? Keep your pecker up.xxx
We have had a really horrendous year involving family and friends. The stress has been so bad my doctor sent me to the mental health coach who recommended journalling. I have lost all my crafting drive, I’m just knitting on a pair of socks so I can knit around and around without thinking. Even the socks are taking me an age to finish.
Oh Jeanette I just want to give you a big hug. I’ll be honest with you I don’t come on to your vlogs for wall to wall cheeriness I come on to spend time with you. I’m only watching three or four vlogmases and yours is right up there! Doesn’t matter what you’re doing or how you feel, you’re just you. You’ve had ups and downs this year so just be kind to yourself as much as you can. Sending you lots of love xx
I have to say went through the same just no craft enjoyment also. Please you do you ...that's why I enjoyment your channel so much. It's real ....and original. Please just keep going....😊😊😊😊😊 what pattern you used on your mini scarf you have on today?😊😊😊😊😊
I lost my sister and best friend Dec 2nd of this year….she passed unexpectedly. The last 2 weeks have been difficult. She was a simple person, lived simply but crafted like no other! She was a master at any craft she cared to learn and her name was Margaret!
Love your Vlogs and podcasts Jeanette, enjoy them so much. You are not a downer, it’s life to how you are feeling. I’m sure your crafting mojo will return, sounds a good idea to start the crochet shawl. Take care 💐🎄
Jeanette thank you for your video to night it’s 13 years to day my husband died and I was feeling very low crying all day so thank you for your chat mend my day please keep going if only for me xx
Thank you Jeanette still crying as it’s been a hard day on my own heating gone off so I’ve come to bed to get warm but to morrow is a new day so this 86 year old is going to get up with a smile on my face and look forward to you video to mottos night god bless xx
Oh Dear Jeanette don’t worry we all have downs. We just so so enjoy your time with us. Our family too, has had a very hard year and like you I’m having to make myself keep the holiday spirit. It’s not unusual to have these downs now and then and it helps others to see that they are not alone. Keep pushing on. You’re doing great.
Jeanette, Honestly I don’t really enjoy the holidays much anymore. I don’t have any brothers or sisters plus I never married. So for me the holiday period can seem quick lonely at times. If it was up to me I’d rather jump from Thanksgiving to January 2nd. Also just to keep busy this year I will be working on Christmas Eve & Day as well as New Year’s Eve & Day. The holiday season can be a difficult time for a lot of people & there is absolutely no reason for you to apologize for how you’re feeling. 💕
Hi Jeanette. Thank you for today’s podcast. Please don’t feel it’s anything like miserable. I watch quite a few podcasts and enjoy vlogmas etc. several podcasters seem to be struggling and try to be upbeat. I follow knit together with Kim and Jonna and Kim is struggling just now. She broke down in tears but held it together a few days ago. Sometimes it actually helps me and probably others too, to know life isn’t a bed of roses. For me, you’re lovely company. I wish I could tell all of you who I watch just how much I appreciate you all. The only downside to watching podcasts is that I want to make all the things and buy too much 😂 I’m currently working on a cowl for a surprise for a friend and then I’m hoping to make another for a friend who has had a rotten year. It says a rude 💩 word on it but she uses that word to describe her life and I’m hoping it will make her laugh. I work part time and care for my poorly hubby. How did I ever find time to work full time! I hope you chest is improving and your mojo is wrapped up with a bow on top, under your Christmas tree 🎄 😂
Hi Jeanette, I just love watching your videos, none of them are rubbish, it’s life and we all have our off days, you always make me smile 🤩 sending you a big hug and thank you 😘😘😘👍
It's all in a Nutshell Crochet. Hi again sorry about the random comment but have you been on this lady's website she is a very good teacher and her shawls are lovely, I'm thinking of doing one of her crochet Mandalas as the colours may cheer me up. sorry its random but i shall go now hope you don't mind me sending you this. She has a you tube channel where she teaches very well. That's the name of her channel at the begining of this comment.
Thanks for not deleting. I was in a bit of a funk today, and it really helped to know I’m not the only one. I’ve been thinking a bit about the Toft advent. While the ornaments weren’t ideal, the centralizers and the key were some of the best items they’ve done (in my opinion).
It might be better for you to have a few days off from doing any crafts and come back to it later when you can enjoy it again. It is easier sometimes to have time to relax with a good book and not do too much 😊
Loving your vlogmas and the honesty is perfect and just what I need. I have lost my Jo full stop, crochet, knitting, sewing, even housework has all gone out the window. Please keep vlogging
When "things" are getting me down, whether it's at the holidays or just anytime, doing a random act of kindness brings me right out of it. Especially when you see or get relayed back that the recipient was overjoyed and truly blessed. It never is anything very grand, but it seems that the person who receives the item thinks it's grand---and that's the point. You are, seemingly, a very good natured person and it goes against your nature to be down, find something joyous and hang on to it because there are those you many not be aware of who need you and you need them as well. We are all part of a great big family and we need each other in one way or another. As far as the who Toft thing goes, if you are not into the ornaments or whatever that you received, gift them to someone who may not have any ornaments at all. Love you and your channel. By the way you are sounding alot better as far as your asthma is concerned, Have a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!
My Nana passed away on the 23rd as well. She was 60. My dad goes through what you’re going through with the emotions, he always struggles on that day. It’s hard when you’re trying to cope with grief during the festive season. Just take it one day at a time xx
Hello Jeanette, please allow yourself time to wotk everything out and rest You have a fantastic support network in all us lot I lost my husband six years ago and still miss him terribly every day, but I also talj to him every day We all get times when we lose our mojo Rest and forget about crafting for how ever long you need .Take care❤
Jeannette your vlogmas has been fine. I can sympathize with you. I've been in a funk for a few months now...I haven't picked up my crochet hook in months. I hope I am out of the funk at the start of the new year. I am so glad you are feeling better health wise.
I can totally relate and understand how you are feeling, I lost my granddaughter in nov 22 only 15months old totally unexpected … I remember that Christmas being so sad without our baby girl and Christmas is not the same … I really think you should do what you feel is the best as far as vlogmas go’s , yes everyone loves to hear from you but you should do what makes you feel better xxx
Much hugs. I lost my mum early 2018. So it gets hard at times around her favorite holidays, she loved Christmas and advent. We all get like this at some point around the holidays. I found giving myself a few craft free days helps, even though I then complain about the time I lost, though actually I didn't because I can steam ahead if need be. My children keep telling me they love my Christmas gifts any time of the year. So I do the grandchildren first now.
Big hugs Jeanette. I miss my son and of course other family members who have passed, but missing my son is hardest. We try to find the joy and magic and remembering happy memories. I much prefer vlogs that are just how the days unfold ….happy and sad things all together as they are. I find vlogs where everything is perfection a bit overwhelming. You are always brilliant company and are one of the first I look for each Vlogmas day. Love, Karen x
None of you wonderful girls.....yes you are girls to me......seem to realise how valuable you are to us as a community, a crafting community, friends though we have never met nor are we likely to meet. We have so much in common, likes, dislikes, old skills and new skills, highs and lows in life and family, good days and bad days with our health and so much more. Thank you for your time, effort and care....this comes with a huge hug and another "Thank You". xxx
Dearest Jeanette, I hear you and feel your pain and sadness as I too am on the same pathway as you ( without going into detail 😢) . At this time of the year I turn into The Grinch and get very run down and always feel guilty when others around me seem to find so much joy in Christmas however you are absolutely 100% right to appreciate that it’s not necessarily like that for a lot of people for one reason or another, I admire your honesty on camera and it’s great that you acknowledge what’s probably going on within yourself so just be kind to yourself, start and stop whatever you feel like and whenever you have the energy. Sending a virtual hug xx
Sorry you are on a bit of a downer with your crafting at the moment Jeanette. We all get these phases I think and having family worries doesn’t help either. Christmas can be a most stressful time for everyone for one reason or another so hopefully the new year will bring a better period of joy for you. We’ll watch you anyway because we love to see what you are up to! X
Oh Jeannette. I really sympathise with you. I lost my lovely Mum on New Years Eve 1999…Millenium. She was in hospital all over Christmas and since then I really do not feel the Christmas Spirit. You would think after so many years it would get better, but the horrid memories stay with you. Take care of yourself and don’t worry about talking about it…it’s good to talk x
Think we all get Debbie Downers sometimes, didn't realize what that meant until my son called me it, he showed me the program where he got it from it is funny but i could see myself in it, so that made me think i have to get out of this mood. So i don't think you are on your own and i always think sometimes its good to talk about how we feel as like you said not everyone is happy and joyful this time of year, but that's ok we are all different. I have pulled back my crochet 3 times today not feeling the love so back in the draw for now. hope you feel better tommorow.
I don’t like Christmas because I lost my gramma. My friend died on Sunday aged 58 from cancer. Last Christmas she lost her mum. The Christmas before she lost her dad…. You are not alone! You are not miserable, you are honest! Also we can relate! There is nothing more I dislike than fake! I did disagree with Belinda on one part…. It is NOT easy to reach out when you are low. Your nails are the same as mine 💕💕💕. Stay true Jeanette! That’s why we follow you and have done for years - I’ll send you a private message in the morning xxx
Lovely just to see you and catch up, we all have down days, I’ve been feeling sorry for myself the last few days on my videos with pain etc but it’s normal life isn’t it - real life, you’ve been really poorly and really really busy. Erik has his own clothes as he’s bigger than the others. I was thinking a Luna character might help you recover your mojo I want to make the otter. Did you get the Christmas box? Xxx
Personally, sounds like some burnout and I think you should just stop tour crafting for a couple days, longer if you need to. Stope setting all these things to do, it’s overwhelming with all going on.. Vlog if you like, I personally am not disappointed if you don’t finish a million projects! Lol. Relax, you’ve not felt well, you aren’t done with recovery, take care, slow down, stop starting new stuff because when you do and then can’t continue, you are getting bummed out. ❤❤
I love your Eric Jeanette. I have an opinion about your recent projects. I don’t think it’s you that has the issue, it’s your projects. regarding the gnome; I have knitted all the clues so far, but my honest opinion is this; I think it’s going to difficult for many knitters to knit, I think last years knit along (snow matter what) was much more achievable for more knitters, so please don’t feel down about that. Regarding your Toft, I love Toft as you may know, but I’ve never bought an Toft advent, and I’ve never regretted not having one. I think you might not be finding the dolls not as exciting as last years (a tough act to follow, in my opinion) I don’t know anything about the water bottle so can’t really comment. I truly believe it’s your projects making you feel bad about crafting and I think it’s a good idea to start something that makes your heart sing and you think is achievable. X
Take care Jeanette ❤Your videos are always a treat to watch no matter what life has been happening,as you say it can’t be all about the good times as that’s not reality 😊 You bring a smile to us it doesn’t matter if you haven’t got any crafting to share ,I enjoy watching so Thanks 🙏 so much for sharing your life with us ❤
Jeanette I love watching you whether you are crafting or not. This is real life we have our ups and we have our downs. Remember you haven’t been well either so your body is telling you to rest. My life is never easy but watching these vlogs really cheers me up. I got my nails done today and went for gold sparkles. Big big hugs 🫂 🎄 xx
Jeanette, I'm here in volgmas first and foremost for the advent opening 😁 which I have loved watching, anything above and beyond is a bonus 🤣. Keep being you, that's what we are all here for. Kx
Jeanette we love watching you and understand we all have our ups and downs.. and loose our crafting mo jo... we all love your chats and don't mind if you have no interest at the moment in crochet or knitting.. we all love hearing about your day x x x
Don't beat yourself up Jeanette, we watch you for you as the lovely person you are. You keep everything real, life has its downs at times so we all understand. Your crafting will still be there when you feel like picking it up again. Take care of yourself 💐
I know just how you're feeling Jeanette as I also lost my Mum on 21st December 2007. I find getting through the run up to Christmas that bit harder as well.
Don't worry about your crafting mojo, it will come back, just make whatever you fancy doing.
I love watching you and you always cheer me up.
Sending you love and hugs 🤗
Sharing your bad times, as well as your good times, is helpful to every one of us, Jeanette - it is real life and we so appreciate your friendly chat whenever you are able to upload a video. Sending biggest hugs to you xx ❤

Hi Jeanette, I know exactly how you feel, I’m totally with you, for some reason I this year i just can’t get into the the Christmas spirit , but 🤞we get over it soon and in time to have a very Merry Christmas, 🤶
Jeanette it is just lovely to see you and I’m so glad you kept this video. I have read so many of your comments and I agree and can relate to it too. We don’t just come to see you and all your crafts we come to see you and I love listening to what you do and have to say. It does get so hectic this time of year. I love your gifts from your friend Kate. I am really looking forward to when you do some paper crafting and journalling when you’re ready. Take care of yourself Jeanette.

Please don’t stop vlogging, we love to hear what you’ve been up to, doesn’t have to be a production line of makes. We come to visit you whatever you’re doing. We all have off times. I too lost my mum at Christmas 22 years ago on Boxing Day but every year the memories return however hard I try to remain cheerful. Hope you feel better soon, take care xx
❤🫂❤ catch ups with friends is about being here and listening while you process outloud... saying how you are feeling helps those of us who feel similar at this time this to will pass and the joy will return, just do what you need to do to move through this season 😊❤
Dear Jeanette. It's not a rubbish vlogmas. Please- if you feel like it carry on. You are doing such a wonderful job. And when crochet and knitting call you again then you will do it. Just don't worry - it's so good to just talk about what worries you. Sending you lots of hugs❤❤
It's so lovely to catch up with you again Jeanette and for keeping it real. I hope you feel better tomorrow and I'm sure once you get your past Toft makes out, you will fall in love with Toft all over again. Have a relaxing evening 🥰
Love and best wishes xx
We all love you and tune in to watch you and your crafting and losing your mojo with crafting and ups and downs of life are all part of that. You cheer us all up and I just love your company. Sending love and hugs😘🎄
Bell I couldn't agree more with you. Please know that Jeanette and yourself give us viewers so much pleasure to watch and try to interact with through comments. Yes life can be emotionally hard at times and that's life but the pleasure we get watching you is "our" escapism from our difficult times. We are all in this boat together and we all lose our mojo as you say. We all love you and this is a safe place for many. Xx
Thank you so much for leaving the beginning part in your video- I can't thank you enough. Friends share good times and tough times as well, we love tuning in for your honest and real content and we appreciate you being as brave and wonderful as you are for including us. To be honest, for those of us struggling at this time of the year due to family losses and other life struggles, your and Belinda's words help us feel like we're not alone and we don't have to be over the top happy all the time to be normal. I've also struggled with my crafting(making it all the worse since that's my stress reliever) and I've had to stop watching some of the christmas vlogs because was all too much- but because of you I don't feel alone or weird- I'm just human and it will be ok. This will pass. Thank you for helping me- and I'm sure many others. Sending hugs and sunshine from Florida. ❤
My dear Jeanette- I do wish I could give you a BIG HUG 🤗 but this blah will have to do instead! Would you believe that my darling Dad ( who taught me to knit 🧶) passed away very suddenly on the 22nd of December 1995- the very day before your precious Mum? Half a world away we were both going through the same thing! I’m sure that this memory plus the sadness in your family this year is really making you feel unsettled and out of sorts 😢 You’re just like me- we love hard and when you do that you suffer when things go pear shaped! And you - like me again- get so very excited about your crafting and almost imagine it done before you’ve even started it and when you get in a muddle or make mistakes ( as we all do ) it makes you feel dejected 🙁 Take it easy dear friend and be kind to yourself - much love from Elizabeth xx
Aww jeanette💕 big hug. You so often say to us "we're all friends here" and being your friends, we don't expect you to pretend life is always roses. Friends are there for the Ups and the downs.
You've had a rough year, and you've been poorly too, it's not surprising nothing feels right.
You must do what is best for you, we love your Vlogs, but if it's too much take a break and rest.
Equally, if it helps to come on and have a chat and get it all off your chest, then do that.
Give yourself a big hug. 💕 it's ok to not always be ok. We're not going anywhere
Ps love your nails and the Barbie wool💕
Hi Jeannette, I think today was a lovely vlog. In a world full of fake, you are real, and that's rare these days. 💖 I'm soooooo happy Eric is coming back. 😊 Maybe you could crochet him a coat? I think he'd look adorable in a coat ..... maybe a scarf and hat too?? I'm also really looking forward to seeing your Toft makes from before. I loved that previous "show and tell" kind of video you did. 😊💗
Jeanette give yourself Grace, plz.
We all enjoy your podcast because you are like us, Human. Just happen to crochet way way way better than me! lol
Jeanette, even when you're down, you're still a ray of sunshine!
Love seeing you your honest and true to life would much rather see you than some of these false over the top people that do my head in. You your videos please feel free to chat as much as you can ❤❤
Jeanette do not worry about the lack of crafting. You are voicing how many of us are feeling. If what your crafting brings you no joy cast on something else. Keep up vlogs going your a tonic to us all. So glad i found you been following for a few months live your papercrafting too found that this morning. ❤
Take care of yourself Jeanette. Christmas is not always jolly for everyone. I think the fact that you are disappointed with your Toft advent calendar, is not helping your crafting slump. It is difficult when you lost a loved one at Christmas. We love catching up with you and Tim even if you don’t have anything to show us. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.❤I haven’t made anything for Christmas as I had a nasty virus and then 2 weeks later my husband and I both got Covid. We live in a tiny town and all gifts are being bought locally I even left it too late for on line shopping. But the day will come weather I’m ready or not 😂❤❤
Hello there Julie - I hope I remembered your name correctly from when you introduced yourself to me as we’re both here in Tasmania 😊 on the East Coast wasn’t it? I’m sorry to hear that you and your husband have been so unwell and I just wanted to wish you the happiest of Christmases possible in the circumstances! We just have to look for the positives don’t we? Take care xx
I'm so glad you shared this video! I've been recovering from a proceedure since November 17th, and it is hard to remember it was a big procedure even though it didn't involve a scalpel. I too have been slow in my crafting. I have been working on a crochet scarecrow since around the middle of October. Just the straw and one patch to do, and to sew on his hat. Don't know why he's not finished, other than I've been so very tired all the time. I get home form work, get the cats and us fed, and sandwiches for lunch the next day and that's about it. If I can remember to keep up with the cat litter and dishes I feel like it's a miracle. So, totally understand how you feel!
Also wanted to tell you I understand the hole Zac left in your hearts. We lost two cats this year, one in January and one the end of September. The one in September we had for over 13 years.
Also I lost my Dad December 28th, 2017. Doesn't seem like it was so long ago, really. Made it very hard that year, especially since my birthday is December 11th, and he wasn't really able to wish me a happy birthday that year.
Love the new project! Looks great. Please take care!!
Know exactly how you feel. but your vlogmas really cheers me up. I have so many UFO's but most of which will never get finished, I am a flitter, I flit from one thing to another, see something, Oh must try that ! then the next thing comes along , but hey ho who cares x
Hi Jeanette please don't gave up I really enjoy watching you and we all get are ups and downs and that's apart of life your such a lovely down to earth person so keep your heart up you'll get there ❤️ ❤❤
Dear Jeanette, thanks for your honesty, same here....lost my mom Christmas eve 2017, total shock, this time of year can be the most difficult. You make it brighter, just being normal, crafting or no crafting. I wish I could reach into the screen and give you a hug. Xx
Hi Jeanette I do think the weather doesn’t help with it being so damp and gloomy. If you have the luna lap in books the clothes do fit all the animals xx
Jeanette, I enjoy all of your vlogs. Yours is the first channel I turn to. I appreciate how you keep things real. Your episodes are a gift!
Sorry you are feeling down Jeanette. We all get like that at times and vlogging everyday just highlights it I suppose. But you know what we all love your vlogs and your honesty and whenever I feel like that I count my blessings and am grateful for all I have. No matter how bad things are they could always be worse lol. I think you're great.
In addition, having just watched a bit more please, please don’t stop vloging, you’re enthusiasm keeps us going Jeanette x
Society makes us believe everything should be all sunshine and roses. Sunshine and roses wouldn’t be so nice if we didn’t have weeds and clouds. Thanks for keeping it real.
Life isn't a bowl of cherries, sometimes we have to deal with sour grapes. The scrapy crochet shawl is a fab a make. xxx
Don't worry Jeanette, we all have problems, and know how you feel.
Love to spend time with you. Take care xo
Enjoy your vlogs all of them. Even if just chatting! Everyone needs a break from crafting from time to time. I love your lovely yarns you are getting in your advents. That little mushroom house is adorable! Your nails are lovely!!❤❤❤😊
Don't be so hard on yourself, life is life and it happens to us all. I'm not feeling the Christmas vibe this year and I have no idea why. I love your company, sending love to you & your family. xx
Hi Jeanette, our crafty friend. Please don't feel you need to apologise for being yourself. We all love your podcasts and appreciate all you do to make them happen for us. I find that sometimes I feel a bit like that at this time of year but then I remember the true meaning of Christmas and that makes a big difference. I am currently working on a Granny Wrap (Annaboo's House). It is a great mindless project for this time of year and the wrap grows quite quickly. Sending love. x
Jeanette it’s not been a rubbish vlogmas. You are the first one I watch every day and I have a lot to watch! Don’t forget you have been ill aswell. Lots of love xx
It sounds like burn out. It’s ok to take a break. Then come back refreshed.
dont worry ive always had bad days with depression you get where you want to make something but you cant been like few days till you came on n showed me the reindeer i got from littlecotton rabbit think ive done them all now but love as it small
Don’t be hard on yourself, your chit chat is real life & reflects the way lots of people feel at this time of year. It’s nice not to think that you are not the only one feeling in a funk. The crafting is a bonus, most people just enjoy having someone relatable to spend time with whilst crafting themselves . Life isn’t always a bed of roses 😊
I love your vlogs, whether you craft or just chat. Today we marked 3 years since we lost our beautiful daughter. She was only 35. Miss her so much. Love is endless and so is grief. Time does not heal but we just learn to live without her. Your mojo will return after Christmas, just go with the flow till then. All the best xxx
I’m truly so sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter.
Sending you tons of hugs. Xxxx
My Eric has a yellow duffle coat and yellow wellie boots , I got the kit and he looks grand I also gave him glasses cause he kept falling of the shelf lol 😂😂😂xx
I really fancy making the duffle coat. Xx
Awe hen sending you a big squeezy hug wish I could come done there and give you a real one 🤗 I think as we all get older this time of the year brings back so many memories good and bad !! Your a lovely person and I so enjoy watching you warts and all 😊 that's real life. Take care Jeanette your doing the right thing by talking about it so many people put a face on things and just end up unwell. ❤
Sometimes we just need to step back from stuff we do all the time, doesn’t mean you don’t still have that passion, just need to step back, whatever you do, do it for you not for TH-cam, it’s in the name, all about You, sending hugs and hope you find some sparkle soon xx
Don't apologize, we are here to watch your crafts, and to hear about your life. I think most of us already saw you are struggling. Belinda yesterday telling us about her father passing on the 21st of December, and today you tell about your mothers passing on that same date... In Dutch we say "gedeelde smart is halve smart" which translates to "shared sorrow is half sorrow", meaning that when you share your sad moments, it allows people to comfort you, and that softens your pain and grieve a little bit 💜. Sending you love and hugs!
❤❤love ur chats anytime,, anyhow,,,,
Crafting seems not so relaxed right now ,,for some reason,,,
Love it to be calm,,,,🎉🎉
And if things are abit off at any time,,,,i feel unsettled,,,,
Know how you feel,,
Not a downer at all,,
Love the sweet gifts,,,
What is the crochet shawl,,, Jeanette??looks so cozy,,,,
ELAINE 🏡💕
It’s the Just feel festive shawl on ravelry.
Jeanette, we love you, keep going. You make a real difference in us watchers lives. Soon be spring and new life will appear and bring us joy. Can I ask did you make the scarf you have on, if so s the pattern shareable? Keep your pecker up.xxx
We have had a really horrendous year involving family and friends. The stress has been so bad my doctor sent me to the mental health coach who recommended journalling. I have lost all my crafting drive, I’m just knitting on a pair of socks so I can knit around and around without thinking. Even the socks are taking me an age to finish.
Oh Jeanette I just want to give you a big hug. I’ll be honest with you I don’t come on to your vlogs for wall to wall cheeriness I come on to spend time with you. I’m only watching three or four vlogmases and yours is right up there! Doesn’t matter what you’re doing or how you feel, you’re just you. You’ve had ups and downs this year so just be kind to yourself as much as you can. Sending you lots of love xx
I have to say went through the same just no craft enjoyment also. Please you do you ...that's why I enjoyment your channel so much. It's real ....and original. Please just keep going....😊😊😊😊😊 what pattern you used on your mini scarf you have on today?😊😊😊😊😊
I lost my sister and best friend Dec 2nd of this year….she passed unexpectedly. The last 2 weeks have been difficult. She was a simple person, lived simply but crafted like no other! She was a master at any craft she cared to learn and her name was Margaret!
I love watching all of your videos. You are a joy. Give yourself some grace. You are a wonderful person.
Love your Vlogs and podcasts Jeanette, enjoy them so much. You are not a downer, it’s life to how you are feeling. I’m sure your crafting mojo will return, sounds a good idea to start the crochet shawl. Take care 💐🎄
Jeanette thank you for your video to night it’s 13 years to day my husband died and I was feeling very low crying all day so thank you for your chat mend my day please keep going if only for me xx
Sending you lots of love of virtual hugs. Xxx
Thank you Jeanette still crying as it’s been a hard day on my own heating gone off so I’ve come to bed to get warm but to morrow is a new day so this 86 year old is going to get up with a smile on my face and look forward to you video to mottos night god bless xx
Look forward to watching ,you are being honest and that’s how you are feeling.The scrappy shawl is just what you need right now.See you tomorrow.TFS
No need for apologies…you are just keeping it real. I always enjoy your videos❤
Don’t ever apologise …I am feeling much the same as you this year.. sending hugs from Australia 🇦🇺
Oh Dear Jeanette don’t worry we all have downs. We just so so enjoy your time with us. Our family too, has had a very hard year and like you I’m having to make myself keep the holiday spirit. It’s not unusual to have these downs now and then and it helps others to see that they are not alone. Keep pushing on. You’re doing great.
Jeanette, Honestly I don’t really enjoy the holidays much anymore. I don’t have any brothers or sisters plus I never married. So for me the holiday period can seem quick lonely at times. If it was up to me I’d rather jump from Thanksgiving to January 2nd. Also just to keep busy this year I will be working on Christmas Eve & Day as well as New Year’s Eve & Day. The holiday season can be a difficult time for a lot of people & there is absolutely no reason for you to apologize for how you’re feeling. 💕
Hi Jeanette. Thank you for today’s podcast. Please don’t feel it’s anything like miserable. I watch quite a few podcasts and enjoy vlogmas etc. several podcasters seem to be struggling and try to be upbeat. I follow knit together with Kim and Jonna and Kim is struggling just now. She broke down in tears but held it together a few days ago. Sometimes it actually helps me and probably others too, to know life isn’t a bed of roses. For me, you’re lovely company. I wish I could tell all of you who I watch just how much I appreciate you all.
The only downside to watching podcasts is that I want to make all the things and buy too much 😂
I’m currently working on a cowl for a surprise for a friend and then I’m hoping to make another for a friend who has had a rotten year. It says a rude 💩 word on it but she uses that word to describe her life and I’m hoping it will make her laugh.
I work part time and care for my poorly hubby. How did I ever find time to work full time!
I hope you chest is improving and your mojo is wrapped up with a bow on top, under your Christmas tree 🎄 😂
I’m not sure if you already know but your Oxalis will probably flower too, little white ones, mine just keeps pushing them up now and then x
Don’t be so hard on your self,give the crafting a break till after Christmas,please don’t stop the vlog ,it’s still very enjoyable
Hi Jeanette, I just love watching your videos, none of them are rubbish, it’s life and we all have our off days, you always make me smile 🤩 sending you a big hug and thank you 😘😘😘👍
It's all in a Nutshell Crochet. Hi again sorry about the random comment but have you been on this lady's website she is a very good teacher and her shawls are lovely, I'm thinking of doing one of her crochet Mandalas as the colours may cheer me up. sorry its random but i shall go now hope you don't mind me sending you this. She has a you tube channel where she teaches very well. That's the name of her channel at the begining of this comment.
Thanks for not deleting. I was in a bit of a funk today, and it really helped to know I’m not the only one. I’ve been thinking a bit about the Toft advent. While the ornaments weren’t ideal, the centralizers and the key were some of the best items they’ve done (in my opinion).
It might be better for you to have a few days off from doing any crafts and come back to it later when you can enjoy it again. It is easier sometimes to have time to relax with a good book and not do too much 😊
Love you no matter how you feel! Your authenticity is what makes you beautiful ❤
No apologies needed. I pop in for a chat, news good and bad, and to see you, (I hope) just like a neighbour from 5000+miles away. Thanks. Jane xx
Hi Jeanette. When I feel down I volunteer. It brings me right back up!! Merry Christmas and thank you for a lovely channel 🥰
Loving your vlogmas and the honesty is perfect and just what I need. I have lost my Jo full stop, crochet, knitting, sewing, even housework has all gone out the window. Please keep vlogging
I don’t mind if you just talk gibberish, I just like watching and listening lol😂😂 ❤❤
When "things" are getting me down, whether it's at the holidays or just anytime, doing a random act of kindness brings me right out of it. Especially when you see or get relayed back that the recipient was overjoyed and truly blessed. It never is anything very grand, but it seems that the person who receives the item thinks it's grand---and that's the point. You are, seemingly, a very good natured person and it goes against your nature to be down, find something joyous and hang on to it because there are those you many not be aware of who need you and you need them as well. We are all part of a great big family and we need each other in one way or another. As far as the who Toft thing goes, if you are not into the ornaments or whatever that you received, gift them to someone who may not have any ornaments at all. Love you and your channel. By the way you are sounding alot better as far as your asthma is concerned, Have a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!
You have had covid,been battling with chest and family issues,take some time ,sit back and enjoy what u do, u will get back to things in time
I am here when times are good and bad……listen to yourself and follow your heart……if it’s best to stop vlogging for a bit….do it xo🇨🇦
My Nana passed away on the 23rd as well. She was 60. My dad goes through what you’re going through with the emotions, he always struggles on that day. It’s hard when you’re trying to cope with grief during the festive season. Just take it one day at a time xx
Hello Jeanette, please allow yourself time to wotk everything out and rest You have a fantastic support network in all us lot I lost my husband six years ago and still miss him terribly every day, but I also talj to him every day We all get times when we lose our mojo Rest and forget about crafting for how ever long you need .Take care❤
Jeannette your vlogmas has been fine. I can sympathize with you. I've been in a funk for a few months now...I haven't picked up my crochet hook in months. I hope I am out of the funk at the start of the new year. I am so glad you are feeling better health wise.
I can totally relate and understand how you are feeling, I lost my granddaughter in nov 22 only 15months old totally unexpected … I remember that Christmas being so sad without our baby girl and Christmas is not the same … I really think you should do what you feel is the best as far as vlogmas go’s , yes everyone loves to hear from you but you should do what makes you feel better xxx
Much hugs. I lost my mum early 2018. So it gets hard at times around her favorite holidays, she loved Christmas and advent.
We all get like this at some point around the holidays. I found giving myself a few craft free days helps, even though I then complain about the time I lost, though actually I didn't because I can steam ahead if need be. My children keep telling me they love my Christmas gifts any time of the year. So I do the grandchildren first now.
Big hugs Jeanette. I miss my son and of course other family members who have passed, but missing my son is hardest. We try to find the joy and magic and remembering happy memories. I much prefer vlogs that are just how the days unfold ….happy and sad things all together as they are. I find vlogs where everything is perfection a bit overwhelming. You are always brilliant company and are one of the first I look for each Vlogmas day. Love, Karen x
Sending you lots of hugs Karen. Xxxx
Winter blues❤
None of you wonderful girls.....yes you are girls to me......seem to realise how valuable you are to us as a community, a crafting community, friends though we have never met nor are we likely to meet. We have so much in common, likes, dislikes, old skills and new skills, highs and lows in life and family, good days and bad days with our health and so much more. Thank you for your time, effort and care....this comes with a huge hug and another "Thank You". xxx
Ah how lovely so pleased you like your little toadstool. All made with lots of love and fairy dust xxx
I absolutely adore it. Thank you so very much. Xxx
Can understand how you feel l am going through the same feelings at the moment Don’t try to hard you will come through it .God Bless
Hi Jeanette please don't beat yourself up. Life can be a bit rubbish at times and don't feel you need to vlog. Take time for yourself
HI Jeanette, don't worry, offload as much as you'd like x
p.s. Madrino is Spanish for Godmother xx
Dearest Jeanette, I hear you and feel your pain and sadness as I too am on the same pathway as you ( without going into detail 😢) . At this time of the year I turn into The Grinch and get very run down and always feel guilty when others around me seem to find so much joy in Christmas however you are absolutely 100% right to appreciate that it’s not necessarily like that for a lot of people for one reason or another, I admire your honesty on camera and it’s great that you acknowledge what’s probably going on within yourself so just be kind to yourself, start and stop whatever you feel like and whenever you have the energy. Sending a virtual hug xx
Hang in there; Jeanette. All will be well soon.
I lost my Mum 17 months ago and I miss her at Christmas. I was with her for most of the last five years of her life. Hugs xxx
❤
Sorry you are on a bit of a downer with your crafting at the moment Jeanette. We all get these phases I think and having family worries doesn’t help either. Christmas can be a most stressful time for everyone for one reason or another so hopefully the new year will bring a better period of joy for you. We’ll watch you anyway because we love to see what you are up to! X
Oh Jeannette. I really sympathise with you. I lost my lovely Mum on New Years Eve 1999…Millenium. She was in hospital all over Christmas and since then I really do not feel the Christmas Spirit. You would think after so many years it would get better, but the horrid memories stay with you. Take care of yourself and don’t worry about talking about it…it’s good to talk x
You are feeling reflective, which is normal for us all. Be kind to yourself ❤
Think we all get Debbie Downers sometimes, didn't realize what that meant until my son called me it, he showed me the program where he got it from it is funny but i could see myself in it, so that made me think i have to get out of this mood. So i don't think you are on your own and i always think sometimes its good to talk about how we feel as like you said not everyone is happy and joyful this time of year, but that's ok we are all different. I have pulled back my crochet 3 times today not feeling the love so back in the draw for now. hope you feel better tommorow.
I don’t like Christmas because I lost my gramma. My friend died on Sunday aged 58 from cancer. Last Christmas she lost her mum. The Christmas before she lost her dad…. You are not alone! You are not miserable, you are honest! Also we can relate! There is nothing more I dislike than fake! I did disagree with Belinda on one part…. It is NOT easy to reach out when you are low. Your nails are the same as mine 💕💕💕. Stay true Jeanette! That’s why we follow you and have done for years - I’ll send you a private message in the morning xxx
Lovely just to see you and catch up, we all have down days, I’ve been feeling sorry for myself the last few days on my videos with pain etc but it’s normal life isn’t it - real life, you’ve been really poorly and really really busy. Erik has his own clothes as he’s bigger than the others. I was thinking a Luna character might help you recover your mojo I want to make the otter. Did you get the Christmas box? Xxx
No I missed it. I was so cross with myself as I set an alarm and couldn’t remember why but it wax for the box😥🤷♀️
@ oh no I should have reminded you 😢 they will sell the patterns /kits early in the new year xx
Personally, sounds like some burnout and I think you should just stop tour crafting for a couple days, longer if you need to. Stope setting all these things to do, it’s overwhelming with all going on.. Vlog if you like, I personally am not disappointed if you don’t finish a million projects! Lol. Relax, you’ve not felt well, you aren’t done with recovery, take care, slow down, stop starting new stuff because when you do and then can’t continue, you are getting bummed out. ❤❤
I love your Eric Jeanette. I have an opinion about your recent projects. I don’t think it’s you that has the issue, it’s your projects. regarding the gnome; I have knitted all the clues so far, but my honest opinion is this; I think it’s going to difficult for many knitters to knit, I think last years knit along (snow matter what) was much more achievable for more knitters, so please don’t feel down about that. Regarding your Toft, I love Toft as you may know, but I’ve never bought an Toft advent, and I’ve never regretted not having one. I think you might not be finding the dolls not as exciting as last years (a tough act to follow, in my opinion) I don’t know anything about the water bottle so can’t really comment. I truly believe it’s your projects making you feel bad about crafting and I think it’s a good idea to start something that makes your heart sing and you think is achievable. X
