Hello everybody! It’s finally time to announce the winner of my 1 year anniversary giveaway! The winner is……@1sweffling Congratulations to the winner! Please contact me by the email in my bio to claim your prize 🫶 I’d like to say a big thank you to everybody for supporting me. It took forever for my daughter Eveleen (aka my little admin friend) to fish through all your lovely comments! I’ll be doing another giveaway soon I’m sure, so keep an eye out! 🫶
I have loved seeing your vlog this morning before heading off for day 2 of the Lay Family Yarn Retreat. What a fabulous time. Great fun and can’t wait for the big reveal of all our yarn inspirations. ❤
Thank you for your lovely video, I found you through watching Kelly. We put our tree up on the 1st of December.and the other decorations on the day after. I live in Australia so a very different Christmas to what you're used to as far as weather, food and how we spend our day. Looking forward to vlogmas. 🥰
That was so lovely. Thank you for showing us the lovely places you went. Your baby blanket is really gorgeous. Here in Ireland it's a tradition not to put the tree up until 8th December but not everyone does that. You are so nice to listen to and follow. Thank you
Morning Belinda ❤️hope you are feeling better, I absolutely loved your video, Ironbridge and the church looked absolutely beautiful. We put our tree up yesterday on my daughters birthday who was 25, she asked if we could as she was feeling not herself so that’s what we did, mind you it seems a bit strange with birthday decorations up with a tree, I don’t mind though, we will put other bits up later in December, sorry to hear you have had some sad news, take care ❤️
I hope you’re feeling much better now. Thank you for sharing your weekend with us. My tree normally goes up about the middle of December, not sure about this year. I have a kitten that will probably love to climb it 😂. Looking forward to watching your vlogmas xx
I'm so glad you had such a nice time at the retreat! I love the yarn you dyed. You did really well matching your Holly Hobby inspiration! It's been lovely to catch up with you, Belinda. Take care. Feel better! ❤
I hope your cold goes away really soon . Sending healing hugs 🤗 ❤ thank you for another wonderful video. The blanket was lovely and your weekend retreat looked so nice. I loved your dyed yarn it really did remind me of Holly Hobbie . Looking at all the lovely things you knit and crochet and craft it makes me want to pick up the crochet hook and knitting needles again and give it another try . I stopped due to getting numbness in my fingers after doing it but I might try again. I do lots of cross stitching and diamond paintings and that involves holding a needle or a diamond placer and my fingers seem fine with doing those . I look forward to seeing your vlogmas videos when you can do them 😊
Lovely blog catch up and fab to see the woolly retreat, definitely going to try and make it there next year! Sorry to hear you have received some sad news, big hugs and take care xx
@ Belinda thank you, I am well, busy trying to finish some Christmas projects. I must say you were glowing in your wool retreat video. Take care, look forward to your next vlog. ❤️
Lovely vlog as always, i was going to book the retreat but chickened out as was a bit nervous to go on my own so I think you were brave, glad you had such a nice time ❤
I love your yarn and it does have a very holly hobbie aesthetic. so cute! what a calming lovely vlog today. thinking of you and hoping your tummy has been feeling better.
I'm going to put my Christmas decorations up on Saturday. I need cheering up. Just hope my 2 little kittens can be good with the tree. I don't think they will behave.
Thank you for taking us along to the Retreat with you and Ironbridge looks a beautiful place. I’m so glad you were well enough to go and have a lovely time. Your blanket is beautiful and so is the yarn that you dyed. We’re getting our decorations out of the loft on Sunday and will just slowly enjoy decorating the house xx
Don't worry if you feel you have nothing to say. You have such a soothing voice which is a gift from God. I enjoy your program. Think you are brave to go to retreat by yourself. Thank you for your time.🥰
Thank you Belinda for sharing your lovely weekend retreat away - Ironbridge looks lovely. We usually put up our tree and decorations around the first weekend in December. Looking forward to seeing you for Vlogmas whenever you manage to record I know it will be a treat to watch!
Lovely to catch up with you and so glad you enjoyed the retreat. Kelly is so pleased with the blanket....those pompoms are a triumph. My turn this weekend, a little concerned about the driving conditions for Friday but will leave plenty of time. Xxx
Really happy for you that you had such a good time at the Woollay Retreat despite having a cold. I think the yarn you dyed was beautiful and totally captured the colours and style of the Holly Hobbie picture. It made me remember the Sarah Kay duvet covers we had as children that were quite similar to Holly Hobby. I don't put up any decorations until mid December, which I know is probably later than a lot of people but I never take them down until 12th night. 🎄
The retreat looked amazing Belinda I adore your colour choices for your yarn simply beautiful, I got my delivery last week I bought the lay family yarn Christmas advent whoop whoop ... so excited to see what is inside x x your shawl looks beautiful x x I put my tree up last week in November looking forward to your vlogmas x x take care
Thank you so very much for such a super episode Belle- I actually think it was one of your best! ❤ I so enjoyed the footage of Ironbridge- what a lovely pretty place- we visited there in July and it was very warm, close to 30 degrees if I remember correctly. I remember buying ice creams and trying to eat them as they were melting!! I love the look of the craft centre where Kelly and Nick have their business- I could do a lot of damage there! 😂 Your yarn is just gorgeous and a beautiful reflection of Holly Hobbie and the yarn you won in the raffle is very special 😊 top job xx
Sorry that you got hubbys cold but glad it was no bad enough to keep you from your retreat. Thank you for sharing the sightseeing of ironbridge town. Beautiful yarns for a beautiful lady.💐 feel better!
Thanks for sharing your trip to the retreat. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to visit Ironbridge when I was there - maybe next time! Looking forward to seeing you over the festive season. x
There were so many lovely things in this vlog. The crocheted blanket at the beginning was beautiful! The colours blend so nicely, and the pompoms are amazing. They are certainly your trademark feature. I love them. Your retreat looked like so much fun. I would love to go, but alas, I live in Canada. I haven't heard of any retreats here like the Woollay retreat. Love the dusting of snow....we get a lot of snow where I live in Ontario, but right now it has been mild and rainy. So looking forward to your vlogmas.😊
Aren’t retreats a joy of pure indulgence. 😊 Beautiful yarn you dyed, amazed it wasn’t pink! 😄 I look forward to seeing what you make with it. Love the cuddle with Bilbo picture. We don’t really mention Christmas until we’re in December. Decorations usually go up 2nd week and down just before New Year. We prefer an intense couple of weeks rather than a prolonged, drawn out thing 😁
@@BelleandStitch a few but John is quite old now and needs me more at home. I have just done the Black Sheep Retreat again though which is a Thursday to Sunday and just lovely.
Hi Belinda, what a lovely vlog 💖 It was wonderful to see all the poppies!! Your yarn/wool is so pretty!! The colours really do match with Holly Hobby so beautifully. 😊 Looking forward to your Vlogmas pop-ins. 💖
I’m so glad that you got to your retreat and had such a wonderful time. I just loved the colours of your Holly Hobbie yarn - perfect! Sending warmest get well wishes and looking forward to any Vlogmases that you manage. xx
The yarn looks lovely, just my colours too. Think I should go on a retreat like that too... Hope you are feeling better. Looking forward to vlogmas.... can't believe December is that close.
@@nicolekeizer1921 You would love a yarn retreat Nicole it really is a tonic. I can’t quite believe it’s December, where on earth has this year gone? Sending much love 😘
I love your holly hobby yarn so much😻💕 I'm putting my tree up any time after the first of December. I only have a small tree because of floor space, but I love having the lights twinkling.
🥰 oh Belinda!!!! What a lovely vlog and lovely trip to Ironbridge!!!!! I loved all of your beautiful footage and your hotel room was so pretty & cozy!!!!!! I DEFINITELY want to do that next year - let's add that to our list of things to do in England! 😆😁 Your Holly Hobby yarn turned out perfect - I can't wait to see what you make with it!!! ❤❤❤ My Christmas decor is up and fabulous - it feels so good to have it up & glowing so we can enjoy it for just a bit longer. 😁🎄 Love you Belinda!!!! 😘
Time goes so quickly doesn’t it Abby? So it’s just a joy to put sparkle up and enjoy it for as long as we can. The retreat was just a joy and you would love it I’m sure of that. Love you my beautiful friend 🥰🎄 xxx
The retreat sounds delightful and the area is beautiful! I love teddy bears, too. I love the blanket you made as well as the shawl. Hope you are feeling better. Looking forward to your Vlogmas! I'm putting up the Christmas tree this weekend and will do the rest of the decorating after Thanksgiving. I don't think the holiday season is long enough!
Thank you for a delightful vlog even though you were ill. We will decorate after American Thanksgiving, which is late this year on Nov. 28th. I do the decorating in stages over a week or so, and the tree goes up last. I like vlogs done over a few days, and it must be easier on the vlogger. Looking forward to seeing you, but get so rest first.
Wow what a beautiful place ❤ your accommodation looked fabulous, such a nice view . Thrilled you enjoyed your time it looked great fun . Happy knitting ❤ xx
Fantastic Vlog, town where retreat was, was stunning and your accomodation!! Made me want to go away sonewhere haha.. Your xmas jumper adorable and also your colourful cardigan, where did you buy plz?? I was so happy you had a great time despite your cold and hope you are on the mend! 😊ps, colours of wool sooo beautiful!! ❤️
Pretty scenery and lovely place. I put my decorations up after USA 🇺🇸 has their Thanksgiving this year 28th. Pretty place and seems so relaxing there.❤z🤗
Beautiful blanket , love the bobbles. I'm off to Wales tomorrow the 21st to do my Christmas visit to see family and possibly the last for a while. I feel congested but no other cold symptoms. We had snow yesterday it mostly went by end of day but temps are still struggling we had 3 degrees today -2 overnight. Its taken all day to warm the hous back up. Glad you enjoyed the retreat. Everyone made lovely colours . I hope to have some more news on house after 12 December. We may get in before Christmas. xx
@@TheCatlady63 I hope you do manage to get some good news and your in your new home before Christmas, I have been thinking of you and looking forward to an update. Enjoy your trip to Wales my lovely 🥰 X
Hello lovely lady . Ive really enjoyed your vlog. That blanket is beautiful and I'm sure it will be cherished .all those pompoms must have taken hours.same here about the christmas decorations, I'm waiting for my other half to get them down too!! Hope you will soon start feeling better,you have enough with your tummy problems .we came back from bakewell last Thursday and like you I thoroughly enjoyed their 3 dogs. Always had to have a fuss after breakfast 😊😊. Looking forward to vlogmas but don't stress if your not feeling too good.its alot to achieve and commit too . Take care and by for now xx
I loved watching this video, what a lovely yarns you dyed and bought 💜. Tradition here in The Netherlands is not to put up the Christmas tree before 6th of December. That is the birthday of Sinterklaas (the Dutch Santa), who gives presents the evening before. But when you have no small children around (that still believe he really exist), decorations can go up earlier. We hope to do it this coming weekend. Looking forward to Vlogmas, I enjoyed yours so much last year!!
@@eenleukleven I’m like a little child when it comes to the Christmas tree, the sparkling lights and pretty decorations makes everything so incredibly cosy and brings back so many lovely memories 🎄 xx
So lovely you went there , despite you were not feeling all well, but still got to have a lovely time , and got some new friends , ( get well soon ) what a beautiful guesthouse 🥰 I think that sweet Geoff was keeping an eye of the cakes 😂 oh , that yarn you all dyed looks beautiful 🤩 a You got snow ! ☃️ December is my birth month and my favorite month of the year because I have so many sweet childhood memories from Christmas , the high snow , the fairy light , the Christmas tree and deco , and the movies and music , my boxes are waiting here in my living room to be opened with my decorations , it will be up before December , because I want it all finished so I can just spend all December enjoying the Christmas feedings 🤩☃️😍 I love your crochet shawl , with the pretty colors 🥰 I’ve been looking for a light cardigan with the twists similar that you are wearing, can I ask what brand it is ? I’m so happy you will try to “HYGGE “ around us in Decembervlogs ❤ love from me Bonnie and my Flora 🐾🥰
Hi Belle, I'm sure that was a squirrel not a mouse the bushy tail gave it away. Many many years ago I knitted my mam and nan knitted with yarn around their index finger and I 'throw' the yarn around mine. my nan said 'you will never be a knitter doing it that way, so I stopped. I crocheted my sons matinee coats and read patterns. I preferred this to knitting as my projects grew quicker, sadly I have lost this skill, not crocheted for many years. It is good to see you crocheting.
@@pamh3990 It’s a shame you don’t crochet anymore Pam, have you tried to pick it back up again? It usually comes back to you if you give it a go 😃. I’m happy if it’s a squirrel, I think I definitely need another trip to Specsavers 🤣 X
@@BelleandStitch Hi Bella, in the depth of my memory, I recognised the stitches you were doing. I now prefer doing projects on my sewing machine which grows more quickly than knitting or crocheting. I may be wrong about the squirrel. Look forward to seeing you in December. x

So lovely you went there , despite you were not feeling all well, but still got to have a lovely time , and got some new friends , ( get well soon ) what a beautiful guesthouse 🥰 I think that sweet Geoff was keeping an eye of the cakes 😂 oh , that yarn you all dyed looks beautiful 🤩 a You got snow ! ☃️ December is my birth month and my favorite month of the year because I have so many sweet childhood memories from Christmas , the high snow , the fairy light , the Christmas tree and deco , and the movies and music , my boxes are waiting here in my living room to be opened with my decorations , it will be up before December , because I want it all finished so I can just spend all December enjoying the Christmas feedings 🤩☃️😍 I love your crochet shawl , with the pretty colors 🥰 I’ve been looking for a light cardigan with the twists similar that you are wearing, can I ask what brand it is ? I’m so happy you will try to “HYGGE “ around us in Decembervlogs ❤ love from me Bonnie and my Flora 🐾🥰
Hi Bonnie, the cardigan is from Boden. Happy decorating for Christmas 🎄😍 xx
Hi Belle, I'm sure that was a squirrel not a mouse the bushy tail gave it away. Many many years ago I knitted my mam and nan knitted with yarn around their index finger and I 'throw' the yarn around mine. my nan said 'you will never be a knitter doing it that way, so I stopped. I crocheted my sons matinee coats and read patterns. I preferred this to knitting as my projects grew quicker, sadly I have lost this skill, not crocheted for many years. It is good to see you crocheting.
@@pamh3990 It’s a shame you don’t crochet anymore Pam, have you tried to pick it back up again? It usually comes back to you if you give it a go 😃. I’m happy if it’s a squirrel, I think I definitely need another trip to Specsavers 🤣 X
@@BelleandStitch Hi Bella, in the depth of my memory, I recognised the stitches you were doing. I now prefer doing projects on my sewing machine which grows more quickly than knitting or crocheting. I may be wrong about the squirrel. Look forward to seeing you in December. x
P.S. just watched the end of your video, you had snow.😘
Yes I did, it’s slush now though unfortunately 🤣 xx
I am starting this weekend to do my decorations,then I hate to take it down….
Well I started my sock ,knit to the heel ,couldn’t fix the mistake so will start again tomorrow…lol
@@inezwalsh2584 I’ve done that many times 🤣 X
Love your yarn. Do you think they will be reproducing it Belinda? I hope so, I would most certainly buy it. Xx
I don’t think so, it is beautiful isn’t it 🥰. I’m happy to send you my little mini skein xx
Can you tell me the brand of your water bottle? I couldn't read it. I'm glad you had a lovely time.
It was just a package & pattern from Layfamily Yarn, they are listed on the website 😘
@@BelleandStitch For your water bottle?
What will you make from the little bundle?
I’m still not sure, possibly a pretty shawl 🥰
No rain or snow,it’s been raining her for almost 2 weeks…
