Sofa-sleep; since I semi-retired I bought a comfy reclining chair - huge extravagance but not regretted it for a moment. Best of all, I can have 40-winks (as my grandfather said) in the afternoon. Comfort completed with a lap quilt gifted by a dear friend. Ps my grandmother always said, ‘I’m not sleeping, I’m resting my eyes” 😂
Aside from the fabulousness of the videos, I also love that we have a community in which there is the possibility of inside humor such as purpledicular. Thanks for building such a lovely gathering of creatives. ❤
Stars are always a winner in my view Kathryn, no matter the geometry of the pieces. Yours turned out lovely. I keep responding to you in my head when you ask yourself a question. It's wonderful when you do what I think! 🙂About food, I think it provides a constant and continuing routine when we change our environment. After living for 32 years in the same place in London Ontario, we moved to Kingston Ontario to be close to our only son and only grandson. That was 3 years ago and I'm just starting to feel at home. Food is the constant feature, it's the same in both places. Breakfast is sweet (oatmeal with dry and fresh fruits and almonds and sweet cocoa!!), lunch is around midday, drinking tea is all day (with cookies in the afternoon) and dinner around 6. Occasionally we go out for a full English breakfast, a meal for the whole day! Thank you for everything you share with us!!!❤
Yes, the food was of course different in France. I could make some things the same but other things just weren't available in the local supermarket. It's funny how I am finding comfort in simple little familiar things like crumpets. 😊❤️
On my GP's farm in Ont. we had an ancient pendulum clock on the wall above the day couch. With aunts and uncles playing cards at the table after "supper", I would take to the couch, cover up with the handknit throw and fall asleep to the beautiful rhythm of the clock. Lunch was something you took along on an excursion or picnic, and dinner was the noon meal. Breakfast was porridge early, before milking time followed by eggs etc. after. All changed, as they left home for urban life and work. Nostalgia is bitter-sweet. Best not to dwell but nice to share now and then with kindred spirits. Sorry for "wittering". Much appreciation for your channel, K3N.
Kathryn, your home is very lovely with all your beautiful wall hangings you handmade or purchased throughout the years. Won't it be wonderful when you finally have your studio ready to work in!
So Sorry! I was commenting on the video where you gave the tour of your home where all your wall hangings were up in all your rooms, when RUclips switched to this posting. You probably won't even see my comment.
I see it, that happens sometimes, but I always check all unread comments in the app as well as on RUclips because sometimes RUclips hides things. 😁 Thank you ❤️
THANK YOU for this lovely video💜 I began watching it just as Hurricane Helene came through my hometown (Asheville NC) leaving total destruction and taking many lives, and cutting off all communication for almost 3 weeks. I've been blessed to have minimal damage but have a bit of survivor's remorse, I guess. Just got internet back up and am finishing this wonderful video, feeling a bit of shame actually to have this pleasure when so many have NOTHING😢. But I wanted to thank you for putting a smile on my face and joy in my broken heart🥰💕♥️ God bless you!
Love the half triangle squares. Love the colours. This is perfect for a mini quilt in a Dolls house. Many thanks for sharing. Looking forward to Friday's Park Home video. x Blessings x Mariana
This is so nice, it's like a cloth jigsaw! I'm loving the longer wonky wednesdays and so glad there will be a friday video. The new videos every week give me a reason to get up and try to face the day. Thank you - and sending more love, I hope most days are good ones. 💚💚💚
For my family it is breakfast, lunch and dinner. Suppers were only for after church or special occasions. Right now just me & my husband so we sort of just eat when we are hungry. I find dinner is getting later and later because we have found a love of napping in the late afternoon. Such decadent retirees. 😊
Love it, so engaging! Makes me want to play all day instead of going to work, eh, eh, eh 😊 Back home in my native Portugal, we had a full meal set around the working day, starting with pequeno almoço for breakfast, almoço for lunch, lanche ou merenda for mid-afternoon snack, jantar for dinner, and ceia for that before bed snack. All the hours the meals are served differ from traditional UK and US, but are not as late as in Spain. I love how cultural differences like these make us all unique! There must be a 1001 ways to be human ❤❤❤
It’s a wonderful way to make lots of patterns! The possibilities are endless. I think it could be a beautiful cover for an art journal. I’ve been transforming some of my art journal covers from paper to cloth and I think this would look lovely ⭐️⭐️⭐️💜🤎💙🩷💚💛♥️🩶🩵🧡❤️
I have been watching / listening to your videos almost religiously since January of this year, and you have definitely inspired me to tackle things I otherwise would not have done, and accepting the lack of perfection as a feature, not a bug. Yesterday, the lining of my messenger bag just tore right out (rather flimsy fabric) and I figured, no problem, I'll just use this fabric as a pattern to make a new one. It.. Mostly worked, lol. I have no concept of how to add a zipper and a pocket at the same time so there is WAY more thread than necessary stitching it on, and despite measuring, the top of the liner isn't long enough so I'll have to add a wonky strip to give it enough length to have it fit in the bag. I haven't used a sewing machine in over a decade, so it was a wee bit stressful at first, but I'm actually kinda glad it looks a little silly, because a silly person needs a silly bag. Thank you for that confidence, you have inspired me to start a wonky quilt as well ❤
Loved the colors in this. When the cats and I made our epic journey from California to Brussels, we were in temporary housing until our furniture caught up with us, and they were very unsettled. But as soon as we were in our permanent house with all our familiar furnishings, they settled right in. I am certain that has helped Fred-Fred.
Morning, Minnesota US here, Dad called it breakfast, dinner and supper. School called the noon meal lunch. I am more of a hobbit and graze most of the day. I was inspired with today's video, and while I will have to do a few adaptations, I will be making a garment with half triangles. Still piecing that dress, but that's okay. I often use some of the Monday videos to come up with ideas for my work. Glad to hear you and the Littles are settling in. Soon enough you will get that cat flap installed. You are doing you, and I am so proud of you for how far you've come this very challenging year.
Just Love this one, and Mondays, I'm way behind. Love the back stitch to jump over, cool tip, thank you Katherine way behind the play on that tip lol. Awesome for scraps we all have. Huge Hugs to You, Stella n Fred Fred xxx
I never thought of supper as an evening snack. Here in the US, supper (sometimes called dinner) is the third and last meal before settling down to prime time TV. A snack can later follow supper, like milk and cookies, or some popcorn and lemonade. ❤
In my family in the midwest of USA we had breakfast , lunch and supper except for Sundays when we had a big meal early in the day and called it dinner. Farm families like my father was raised in tended to always have their big meal mid day so it was always dinner. We carried lunch boxes to school but my Dad who was a bricklayer called it his dinner pail.
Suggestion Use the pieces in the bool as the Blocks in you curtains, they are beautiful.on hand, taking up space. You could use up two years forth per curtain. Love watching Wednesdays😊
In my childhood it was: Frühstück, Mittagessen(warm meal), Kaffeetrinken(like afternoon tea, but only in the weekend or on special occasions), Abendbrot(slices of sourdough bread with cheese or meat) Now it is: ontbijt, lunch, avondeten(warm meal) Around 10am, 3pm and 7pm we also drink a cup of koffie. Loving the star and your wittering!! Enjoy your tea! Helene
Breakfast, lunch and dinner here in Essex, but my husband’s family (who came from only 6 miles away) called it breakfast, dinner and tea 🤷🏼♀️ I love the ticking of your clock, it’s such a soothing sound and seems like the perfect soundtrack for slow stitching ❤️
Also from the North and living in the West Country (South Devon), I call the meals breakfast, lunch and tea with an occasional supper of cocoa and a digestive :). Love the scrappy star and I look forward to seeing your video on Park Home Life :) ❤
We have breakfast, lunch and dinner. But sometimes we combine breakfast and lunch “Brunch” when we wake up late. Sometimes we have a midnight snack like ice cream or chocolate or cookies.
Originally from East End in London, dinnertime was always what others call lunch, tea time is dinner time to others, supper is small meal so don't go to bed hungry. No such thing as Brunch when I was a child 😀
My paternal grandmother, Doris, was from Manchester. The Lancastrian English still has traces in my siblings, sons, grand childrens speech. Often we don't know until other Kiwis point it out. For instance I have always said uz and not us. In truth when I try to say us I find it difficult and have to screw up my nose. My sons, and some of my nieces and grandchildren also say uz. So we all say tea for our evening meal and I think most Caucasian Kiwis do. The eight pointed star is the star of Isis. They are lovely. I think. Do you have a little tiny iron? I think they are wonderful for stitching and making journals too. I think when your son comes to stay you will feel more that you are home.ĺ had that chasm in my memory where my life seemed like a before Stephen and after Stephen story. It was like that in my psyche for years but now that has melted away. Lots of love Kathryn.xxx❤❤😂
@k3n.clothtales just know that you are becoming even more of your authentic self. It is as though for a while you got a little stuck and diminished. All that spiritual nature self that is you is returning and opening up again. These painful experiences are not a punishment they are a part of our natural progression. Your self confidence will return, the emptiness will become wholeness. The end is over and this is your new beginning. It may seem humble but never fear you and your field will expand once more. The best things happen in and to you in small and simple places. Much love.❤️
Being brought up in the Midlands, we had breakfast, dinner and tea. Tea was the main meal. When we lived in Switzerland, the children came home at lunchtime and I would give them soup or a sandwich, but the Swiss children would have their main meal at home at that time. I am looking forward to you coming to Shaftesbury as that is not too far from me 😃
Dearest Kathryn, such a pretty hst square. The straight angles of the edge triangles emerge as a stable frame, don’t they. Lovely, lovely. So excited to hear of a coming rice bag. 🍚🤭💕xo j
My grandmother and great grandmother used to quilt. I've seen any patterns, but for some reason, I am so drawn in by the scrippy, scarappy ones. Love them! Maybe it falls back to that "community" you spoke about once upon a time not too long ago. Mismatched scraps coming together for a purpose. ❤😊Blessings.
Love your (not terribly wonky) hst star. I started preparing hsts for a quilt three years ago; but, as a beginner quilter, it was a tad too tricky for me. Have been thinking of making - yes - another rice bag with the squares, as I don't want to waste either the fabrics or the work I've done so far... Maybe I'll try a star like yours, as I much prefer it to many other hst patterns that I've seen so far. Thank-you for the inspiration. ❤
You are a wonderful stitching and knitting companion. Your no fuss approach to quilting is so much more relaxed. If one made more of these stars, the corner triangles would make a nice secondary design. On family farms and ranches in the center of the US, the meals are breakfast, dinner, lunch, and supper. Lunch is coffee and/or ice tea and a snack like a sandwich or brownies and milk to help the farmers get through the rest of the daylight hours. Dinner would then be later. I wondered if some time you would be willing to talk about your rainbow jumper. I have the sense you knitted it from different kinds of yarn. I'm not asking for a sweater pattern or even a tutorial but just a general idea of how you chose colors and yarns to knit into that jumper. If this doesn't fit with your ideas about your channel, I absolutely understand.
Hi Kathryn, I'm sitting stitching a rice bag whilst listening to you wittering and you suddenly said that you are going to make a different version, I got so excited. I've made loads of fabric bowls so I am now looking forward to a new challenge. I love your triangle star piece I am debating whether I might learn to make a cushion this would be ideal. Thank you so much. Love and hugs Bella xx
Breakfast, Dinner, Tea and Supper, sofa sleeps are the best I don’t even try to stop myself anymore. I’m in the North West of England and watch and love all your videos. Oh and my daughter in law is going through the same cat flap process / problem at the moment, they got it wrong the first time the flap was much too high as they didn’t allow for the deep plasticky bit at the bottom of the door, entirely the fitters fault. She’s still waiting for the new one. Sending lots of hugs and positive energy. x 💐
Hi Jen, he is going to fit the new panel and then cut the hole so I will make sure he puts it in the right place, thank you for the warning. Hope your daughter's is sorted quickly ❤️
I really enjoyed the friendship star: my first one ended up too big so I re-did it for the book. I’m happy to have another go at these triangles and improve. I love cheese boxes too! I do a lot of art and journal making and I love using them to hold my supplies. They look lovely! If you want you can sand and paint them I guess but I love the bare wood. For shelving I’d probably seal them so they can be easily dusted. I made my own shelves years ago and sanded and sealed three times and they were a dream to dust. My hubby made shelves and built a catio for our cats, of course staining rough wood and they are a disaster to keep clean!
@@k3n.clothtales you can get lovely light paint/ sealant that still allows the grain to show through and in all the colours including pale if the wood is light.
When I was a child. We had breakfast, dinner main meal and tea, sandwiches at early evening . Now with work we have breakfast lunch and dinner. Very strange how we have changed.
Hi Kathryn i love the clock sounds its lovely the triangles are great by the way your clock chimed 7 but it was 6.38 here on wednesday eveningin Brisbane look forward to monday and Wednesday evenings thankyou for the wittering and the stitching
When teenagers my sons had 2nd breakfast, mid afternoon meal (second lunch) and evening meal (second teatime). Cost a fort use but hey did end up 6’8 and 6’6 !!
I'm not a quilter, but this looks like great fun !!!! I may have to give it a try. I must say..... even though I joined you last November to do slow stitching in January 2024 (and continue to love the Monday videos), I have become quite addicted to Wonky Wednesday also 🙂
@@k3n.clothtales I have been and I'll bet I"m not alone amongst the slow stitchers. ..... LOL I know that some Half Square Triangles will appear in some of my slow stitch pieces....
In Australia, or in my family, we have breakfast, lunch, and tea (or dinner if you’re going out to eat). And then we have morning tea and afternoon tea if you are entertaining or attending meetings, and supper if you are out after ‘tea time’.
We always called 'supper' (like you say, a snack before bed), with my children it was called 'quick breakfast' and was toast or cereal or a banana or similar before bed. Not a drawn-out affair but some quick sustenance before bed (breakfast foods being efficient hence perhaps the name). I have 2 grandsons and at the moment we all live together (me, my son, daughter, son-in-law and 2 grandsons under 3). It's a temporary arrangement but before they move out I hope the toddlers will know to ask for a quick breakfast 😊
Such a beautiful star. I am so interested in you making a blind as that is something I have had in mind to do for yonks. I resisted sofa sleeps but have realised that they recharge my batteries and I don’t really loose that much of the day.
My hack for avoiding using an iron (which is never as handy as I'd like) is to mist or moisten the fabric or ribbon and put it on a flat non-porous surface to dry. One has to think ahead or be a bit patient. But most thinner fabrics don't take long to dry and I always work better when I slow myself down. Rushing is my weakness. Fragile fabrics and ribbons also benefit from keeping them away from the heat. For some thinner fabrics, just breathing moist breath on them and tugging a little will get rid of softer folds and crinkles.
Yes, you can also dampen them and rub gently to and fro on the edge of a table. I should have taken the time to replug the iron though. I have done it now. ❤️
So glad all is well apart from iron revenge! Can recommend a mini travel iron for small stitching. Would love to get to your exhibition as live not far away in n.Devon but mobility is a problem . Looking forward to parkhome life and shelves, something I’m always looking for.🙄as have so much stuff but dodgy walls!
My son was a long distance runner in high school…lots of food going into him. Breakfast, snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, and going to bed snack. Not only that, but his running buddies would come to our house after practice and track meets…the gallons of milk and food that flew out the door! The food I didn’t mind so much, but finally had to put a stop on the milk consumption , instead made them Kool Aide ( do you have that in the UK?) and lemonade by the gallon. I just could not afford all that milk consumption. Athletes eat and drink a lot!! The rest of the family ate normally! Thank goodness.
Wow hungry teenagers are bad enough but athlete teenagers! 😱😁 I have heard of Kool Aid but I haven't seen it here. I think it's what we call squash, diluted with water? ❤️
Yes you can hear the ticking of the clock. Monday I couldn’t as it was raining so hard , today at this moment in time it’s dry and yes you can certainly hear it
Because my Large Male Persons and I all run on various schedules, when we do go out together for a meal, we call it Linner - about 3-5 in the afternoon when the restaurants are relatively empty & quiet & we can talk to each other without a lot of background noise. But yes, growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, it was Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. Cold cereal w/ milk or sometimes oatmeal for breakfast, some kind of sandwich, peanut butter & jam or cheese, & fruit for lunch, and hot evening meal for dinner. On Saturday mornings dad would make pancakes or French toast, sometimes eggs & bacon (the fatty pork belly kind, not the Canadian ham kind) for breakfast.
I enjoy your videos so very much. Thank you for making these videos in probably some of the most difficult times of your life. Please know that your community here are sending you the most love and support that we can to you. ❤ I have a quick question. If making a quilt out of these squares and putting the back on as you go, then how do you join all the squares together when making a blanket.
There are a few different ways and next year's Monday project will be making a quilt for those who want to but meanwhile there are some suggestions in the joining blocks video in the wonky Wednesday playlist ruclips.net/video/mI7sx7fHz8g/видео.htmlsi=_NA5U_2JKnvRbLnt ❤️
Thank you for your program. Have you heard of the new comet coming? It's called A3 and I think it reminds me of your name. Apparently, it's visible now with the naked eye.
Breakfast, luncheon, afternoon tea, then supper - Supper would be what people refer to as dinner. But - there was also breakfast, dinner (cooked meal), afternoon tea, and a light supper. "occasion" afternoon tea would be sandwiches, cakes, perhaps a dessert of some sort, such as fresh fruit with a little whipped cream, or trifle with cream, or cold fruit tart. Nowadays? The all important morning coffee ( or tea) and the afternoon cuppa (tea, or coffee). In today's rush here, rush there world - Breakfast, coffee on the go, lunch. - soup, sandwich. , or a piece of toast, . coffee on the go, , brunch, which as we know is breakfast and lunch combined . Evening meal of some sort, or takeaway. Or ready meal from the freezer.. Life has changed. We probably eat less at mealtimes than in the past. We live in heated homes cwe don't need so much food to give energy to keep warm.
Yes I know what you mean. I do love soup though but I make my own. Just did a big pan of butternut. Had it two days running and several portions in the freezer. So I can have fast food but homemade. 😁♥️
@@k3n.clothtales Sounds delicious, and it really is getting to be time for winter weather food. . I hope you're keeping warm. I shall be batch cooking soon, but not to the degree I batch cooked in pandemic. I have a small chest freezer, and with money off block spends at Lidl just before Christmas 2019 I managed to almost fill it with fresh meats, - chicken,, mince, steaks, pork chops and belly, fish fillets and so on.. Was so lucky that happened before pandemic. Bought bags of frozen veg as well, so no "panic buying" , I had enough food for about 5 months. - I've always stocked up with frozen food, rice, pasta, tubs of instant mashed potato, and lots of canned food in case of having a bad winter. And batch cooking and reheating when needed helps keep the fuel bills down. (and I had enough toilet rolls for nearly a year because I buy in bulk when things are on offer). . . Take care. I . E♥️

I’m a bit of a whore when it comes to naming meal times. I’m faithful when it comes to breakfast and supper (a snack before bed, NEVER the evening meal - that’s too posh by far! 😂) but as for the others, well, it depends on the company I’m in or what I’m eating. I don’t think that a sandwich at midday can really be classed as ‘dinner’ whereas my family on the east coast of Scotland definitely have ‘dinner’ at midday, it’s their main meal,of the day. ❤
Before I forget, as I've done several times...do you earn money from ads that play after your video, as well as from those that play before? I always get a kick out of seeing an online quilter's fabrics that are the same as mine. I have the same pink and teal/green fabric and also don't like it much; I tea-dyed some of it, which helped a wee bit. Now I shall enjoy chopping it up more; thanks. 🙂 In Canada and the US we also have brunch -- first meal of the day late in the morning, and it can include both breakfasty things and light lunchy things. Other than that we here in northern Ontario usually have breakfast, lunch and supper. Bye bye for now.
Hello Kate, yes I earn from all ads though I don't enable mid reel ads as I think they are disturbing. As long as I have enough income, I won't do that. At the moment there are no ads as I had to change my payment account following the move and you have to go back to the beginning of the process to be verified. It's a bit worrying, hopefully it won't take too long. ❤️
@@k3n.clothtales Hopefully not, indeed. I wondered about the lack of ads recently. I hope you don't mind my asking; I just want to help and will gladly let "after ads" run as well as "before ads " if you benefit. 🧡
Only watching and listening, like most 'wonky Wednesdays'. Maybe in the future I'll rewatch them all and do the quilting blocks (and then perhaps it will become a quilt ...). You asked how we call the meals. Of course here in the Netherlands we have Dutch words for them. Breakfast is called 'ontbijt', lunch is 'middageten' (but more and more people now call it 'lunch') and the evening meal is 'avondeten'. I we go out for dinner we call it 'diner' in the French way (or we use the verb 'dineren'). 'Thee' (tea) is the drink made of the leaves of the tea plant, or it is 'kruidenthee' (herbal tea). 🥣🍝🥮🍵
In NZ, for me, dinner was week nights 6pm. But on the weekend 6pm ish was tea. Lunch was noon and always called lunch. Supper was a hot drink and a biscuit. But we didn't have biscuits ... Mum made cocoa and we had hot buttered wheatmeal toast to dunk in it before bed. I went to sleep to the sound of a ticking/chiming clock, and I can hear yours ticking. It's lovely.

Morning, Minnesota US here, Dad called it breakfast, dinner and supper. School called the noon meal lunch. I am more of a hobbit and graze most of the day. I was inspired with today's video, and while I will have to do a few adaptations, I will be making a garment with half triangles.
Still piecing that dress, but that's okay. I often use some of the Monday videos to come up with ideas for my work.
Glad to hear you and the Littles are settling in. Soon enough you will get that cat flap installed.
You are doing you, and I am so proud of you for how far you've come this very challenging year.
Thank you so much, it's so lovely that you are using the projects to do your own thing ❤️
Rice bags are always good. Enjoyed today's visit. Excited for Park Home on Friday.
Just Love this one, and Mondays, I'm way behind. Love the back stitch to jump over, cool tip, thank you Katherine way behind the play on that tip lol. Awesome for scraps
we all have. Huge Hugs to You, Stella n Fred Fred xxx
I never thought of supper as an evening snack. Here in the US, supper (sometimes called dinner) is the third and last meal before settling down to prime time TV. A snack can later follow supper, like milk and cookies, or some popcorn and lemonade. ❤
In my family in the midwest of USA we had breakfast , lunch and supper except for Sundays when we had a big meal early in the day and called it dinner. Farm families like my father was raised in tended to always have their big meal mid day so it was always dinner. We carried lunch boxes to school but my Dad who was a bricklayer called it his dinner pail.
I know those pails I think, metal boxes with a swinging handle? I wonder if they still exist. ❤️
I think that was a pretty perfect looking star. I am here for Mon, Wed and Friday. I was so wanting to press those wayword pieces for you ha ha.
I have now replugged the iron 😁❤️
Suggestion
Use the pieces in the bool as the Blocks in you curtains, they are beautiful.on hand, taking up space. You could use up two years forth per curtain.
Love watching Wednesdays😊
Lovely star, so pretty ❤ enjoy your tea and your tea 😂❤
Thank you! 🤗 😁
In my childhood it was:
Frühstück, Mittagessen(warm meal), Kaffeetrinken(like afternoon tea, but only in the weekend or on special occasions), Abendbrot(slices of sourdough bread with cheese or meat)
Now it is: ontbijt, lunch, avondeten(warm meal) Around 10am, 3pm and 7pm we also drink a cup of koffie.
Loving the star and your wittering!! Enjoy your tea!
Helene
Thank you Helene ☺️
Breakfast, lunch and dinner here in Essex, but my husband’s family (who came from only 6 miles away) called it breakfast, dinner and tea 🤷🏼♀️
I love the ticking of your clock, it’s such a soothing sound and seems like the perfect soundtrack for slow stitching ❤️
Also from the North and living in the West Country (South Devon), I call the meals breakfast, lunch and tea with an occasional supper of cocoa and a digestive :). Love the scrappy star and I look forward to seeing your video on Park Home Life :) ❤
We have breakfast, lunch and dinner. But sometimes we combine breakfast and lunch “Brunch” when we wake up late. Sometimes we have a midnight snack like ice cream or chocolate or cookies.
Originally from East End in London, dinnertime was always what others call lunch, tea time is dinner time to others, supper is small meal so don't go to bed hungry. No such thing as Brunch when I was a child 😀
I think brunch is a bit of a con, basically rolls two meals into one 😁❤️
My paternal grandmother, Doris, was from Manchester. The Lancastrian English still has traces in my siblings, sons, grand childrens speech. Often we don't know until other Kiwis point it out. For instance I have always said uz and not us. In truth when I try to say us I find it difficult and have to screw up my nose. My sons, and some of my nieces and grandchildren also say uz. So we all say tea for our evening meal and I think most Caucasian Kiwis do.
The eight pointed star is the star of Isis. They are lovely. I think. Do you have a little tiny iron? I think they are wonderful for stitching and making journals too.
I think when your son comes to stay you will feel more that you are home.ĺ had that chasm in my memory where my life seemed like a before Stephen and after Stephen story. It was like that in my psyche for years but now that has melted away.
Lots of love Kathryn.xxx❤❤😂
Thank you Jan, yes indeed it's a huge turning point. Or a crossroads or something. I am glad to hear that it fades. ❤️
@k3n.clothtales just know that you are becoming even more of your authentic self. It is as though for a while you got a little stuck and diminished. All that spiritual nature self that is you is returning and opening up again. These painful experiences are not a punishment they are a part of our natural progression. Your self confidence will return, the emptiness will become wholeness. The end is over and this is your new beginning. It may seem humble but never fear you and your field will expand once more. The best things happen in and to you in small and simple places. Much love.❤️
Rain!! I’d done some tea dyeing, hung the fabric out to dry - can safely say that it is now well rinsed 😂
It's lashing down here as well, just managed a dryish walk in the woods this morning 😁
Your clock is lovely btw ❤. Joey the dog always pops up when he hears it 😂. We had a clock growing up that would chime 13. 😂.
That's fab, puts me in mind of Orwell 1984 though which was a bit disturbing 😁♥️
Being brought up in the Midlands, we had breakfast, dinner and tea. Tea was the main meal. When we lived in Switzerland, the children came home at lunchtime and I would give them soup or a sandwich, but the Swiss children would have their main meal at home at that time.
I am looking forward to you coming to Shaftesbury as that is not too far from me 😃
Oh lovely, I look forward to seeing you. I will share here what days I will be there ❤️
Dearest Kathryn, such a pretty hst square. The straight angles of the edge triangles emerge as a stable frame, don’t they. Lovely, lovely.
So excited to hear of a coming rice bag. 🍚🤭💕xo j
Lovely ❤❤❤
My grandmother and great grandmother used to quilt. I've seen any patterns, but for some reason, I am so drawn in by the scrippy, scarappy ones. Love them! Maybe it falls back to that "community" you spoke about once upon a time not too long ago. Mismatched scraps coming together for a purpose. ❤😊Blessings.
Yes, a community of scraps 🤗❤️
Love your (not terribly wonky) hst star. I started preparing hsts for a quilt three years ago; but, as a beginner quilter, it was a tad too tricky for me. Have been thinking of making - yes - another rice bag with the squares, as I don't want to waste either the fabrics or the work I've done so far... Maybe I'll try a star like yours, as I much prefer it to many other hst patterns that I've seen so far. Thank-you for the inspiration. ❤
My pleasure Jill, HSTs are such a lovely element, wonky or otherwise. I find this way of making them the most enjoyable. ❤️
You are a wonderful stitching and knitting companion. Your no fuss approach to quilting is so much more relaxed. If one made more of these stars, the corner triangles would make a nice secondary design.
On family farms and ranches in the center of the US, the meals are breakfast, dinner, lunch, and supper. Lunch is coffee and/or ice tea and a snack like a sandwich or brownies and milk to help the farmers get through the rest of the daylight hours. Dinner would then be later.
I wondered if some time you would be willing to talk about your rainbow jumper. I have the sense you knitted it from different kinds of yarn. I'm not asking for a sweater pattern or even a tutorial but just a general idea of how you chose colors and yarns to knit into that jumper. If this doesn't fit with your ideas about your channel, I absolutely understand.
Thank you so much. The jumper is a recipe rather than a pattern, I can certainly talk about it in a future video, no problem. ❤️
Hi Kathryn, I'm sitting stitching a rice bag whilst listening to you wittering and you suddenly said that you are going to make a different version, I got so excited. I've made loads of fabric bowls so I am now looking forward to a new challenge. I love your triangle star piece I am debating whether I might learn to make a cushion this would be ideal. Thank you so much. Love and hugs Bella xx
A cushion will be lovely, have fun with your rice bag. I look forward to sharing my latest one 😊
Breakfast, Dinner, Tea and Supper, sofa sleeps are the best I don’t even try to stop myself anymore. I’m in the North West of England and watch and love all your videos. Oh and my daughter in law is going through the same cat flap process / problem at the moment, they got it wrong the first time the flap was much too high as they didn’t allow for the deep plasticky bit at the bottom of the door, entirely the fitters fault. She’s still waiting for the new one. Sending lots of hugs and positive energy. x 💐
Hi Jen, he is going to fit the new panel and then cut the hole so I will make sure he puts it in the right place, thank you for the warning. Hope your daughter's is sorted quickly ❤️
I really enjoyed the friendship star: my first one ended up too big so I re-did it for the book. I’m happy to have another go at these triangles and improve. I love cheese boxes too! I do a lot of art and journal making and I love using them to hold my supplies. They look lovely! If you want you can sand and paint them I guess but I love the bare wood. For shelving I’d probably seal them so they can be easily dusted. I made my own shelves years ago and sanded and sealed three times and they were a dream to dust. My hubby made shelves and built a catio for our cats, of course staining rough wood and they are a disaster to keep clean!
I am in two minds whether to seal them or not because I love them as they are. But you are right, they would be easier to dust if sealed. ❤️
@@k3n.clothtales you can get lovely light paint/ sealant that still allows the grain to show through and in all the colours including pale if the wood is light.
When I was a child. We had breakfast, dinner main meal and tea, sandwiches at early evening .
Now with work we have breakfast lunch and dinner. Very strange how we have changed.
Hi Kathryn i love the clock sounds its lovely the triangles are great by the way your clock chimed 7 but it was 6.38 here on wednesday eveningin Brisbane look forward to monday and Wednesday evenings thankyou for the wittering and the stitching
Beautiful!, is it me or has more color come into your life? I like both ways.
I think it has, at least for the moment. Perhaps I need it right now ❤️
When teenagers my sons had 2nd breakfast, mid afternoon meal (second lunch) and evening meal (second teatime). Cost a fort use but hey did end up 6’8 and 6’6 !!
😂
I'm not a quilter, but this looks like great fun !!!! I may have to give it a try. I must say..... even though I joined you last November to do slow stitching in January 2024 (and continue to love the Monday videos), I have become quite addicted to Wonky Wednesday also 🙂
Happy to hear that you have been seduced by the wonky 😁♥️
@@k3n.clothtales I have been and I'll bet I"m not alone amongst the slow stitchers. ..... LOL I know that some Half Square Triangles will appear in some of my slow stitch pieces....
In Australia, or in my family, we have breakfast, lunch, and tea (or dinner if you’re going out to eat). And then we have morning tea and afternoon tea if you are entertaining or attending meetings, and supper if you are out after ‘tea time’.
Beautifull star,I also like stars,so I am happy you shared this with us, so good tot know that FredFred is doing Well ⭐
Love it! X
Excited to hear about the exhn in Shaftesbury - hoping to move near to there…
Shaftesbury is lovely, hope to see you again ❤️
@@k3n.clothtales I’d like that
We always called 'supper' (like you say, a snack before bed), with my children it was called 'quick breakfast' and was toast or cereal or a banana or similar before bed. Not a drawn-out affair but some quick sustenance before bed (breakfast foods being efficient hence perhaps the name). I have 2 grandsons and at the moment we all live together (me, my son, daughter, son-in-law and 2 grandsons under 3). It's a temporary arrangement but before they move out I hope the toddlers will know to ask for a quick breakfast 😊
Sounds like a lively houseful 😊❤️
@@k3n.clothtales I loved the video btw 😊🧵🪡💕
Such a beautiful star. I am so interested in you making a blind as that is something I have had in mind to do for yonks. I resisted sofa sleeps but have realised that they recharge my batteries and I don’t really loose that much of the day.
Making blinds is the next job on the list, maybe next week ❤️
My hack for avoiding using an iron (which is never as handy as I'd like) is to mist or moisten the fabric or ribbon and put it on a flat non-porous surface to dry. One has to think ahead or be a bit patient. But most thinner fabrics don't take long to dry and I always work better when I slow myself down. Rushing is my weakness. Fragile fabrics and ribbons also benefit from keeping them away from the heat. For some thinner fabrics, just breathing moist breath on them and tugging a little will get rid of softer folds and crinkles.
Yes, you can also dampen them and rub gently to and fro on the edge of a table. I should have taken the time to replug the iron though. I have done it now. ❤️
So glad all is well apart from iron revenge! Can recommend a mini travel iron for small stitching. Would love to get to your exhibition as live not far away in n.Devon but mobility is a problem . Looking forward to parkhome life and shelves, something I’m always looking for.🙄as have so much stuff but dodgy walls!
I am sorry for your mobility problems 😔. I am lucky that these walls are plywood so easy to screw into and quite strong. ❤️
My son was a long distance runner in high school…lots of food going into him. Breakfast, snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, and going to bed snack. Not only that, but his running buddies would come to our house after practice and track meets…the gallons of milk and food that flew out the door! The food I didn’t mind so much, but finally had to put a stop on the milk consumption , instead made them Kool Aide ( do you have that in the UK?) and lemonade by the gallon. I just could not afford all that milk consumption. Athletes eat and drink a lot!!
The rest of the family ate normally! Thank goodness.
Wow hungry teenagers are bad enough but athlete teenagers! 😱😁 I have heard of Kool Aid but I haven't seen it here. I think it's what we call squash, diluted with water? ❤️
I think you should call it “ the park home star”.
🌟❤️❤️❤️
Yes you can hear the ticking of the clock. Monday I couldn’t as it was raining so hard , today at this moment in time it’s dry and yes you can certainly hear it
Because my Large Male Persons and I all run on various schedules, when we do go out together for a meal, we call it Linner - about 3-5 in the afternoon when the restaurants are relatively empty & quiet & we can talk to each other without a lot of background noise. But yes, growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, it was Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. Cold cereal w/ milk or sometimes oatmeal for breakfast, some kind of sandwich, peanut butter & jam or cheese, & fruit for lunch, and hot evening meal for dinner. On Saturday mornings dad would make pancakes or French toast, sometimes eggs & bacon (the fatty pork belly kind, not the Canadian ham kind) for breakfast.
Love the image of you and your Large Male Persons having a quiet mid afternoon meal ❤️
I enjoy your videos so very much. Thank you for making these videos in probably some of the most difficult times of your life. Please know that your community here are sending you the most love and support that we can to you. ❤
I have a quick question. If making a quilt out of these squares and putting the back on as you go, then how do you join all the squares together when making a blanket.
There are a few different ways and next year's Monday project will be making a quilt for those who want to but meanwhile there are some suggestions in the joining blocks video in the wonky Wednesday playlist ruclips.net/video/mI7sx7fHz8g/видео.htmlsi=_NA5U_2JKnvRbLnt ❤️
Thank you for your program. Have you heard of the new comet coming? It's called A3 and I think it reminds me of your name. Apparently, it's visible now with the naked eye.
I haven't heard about it, I have been avoiding the news lately but I will look it up, thank you 😊
Breakfast, luncheon, afternoon tea, then supper - Supper would be what people refer to as dinner. But - there was also breakfast, dinner (cooked meal), afternoon tea, and a light supper. "occasion" afternoon tea would be sandwiches, cakes, perhaps a dessert of some sort, such as fresh fruit with a little whipped cream, or trifle with cream, or cold fruit tart. Nowadays? The all important morning coffee ( or tea) and the afternoon cuppa (tea, or coffee). In today's rush here, rush there world - Breakfast, coffee on the go, lunch. - soup, sandwich. , or a piece of toast, . coffee on the go, , brunch, which as we know is breakfast and lunch combined . Evening meal of some sort, or takeaway. Or ready meal from the freezer.. Life has changed. We probably eat less at mealtimes than in the past. We live in heated homes cwe don't need so much food to give energy to keep warm.
Yes I know what you mean. I do love soup though but I make my own. Just did a big pan of butternut. Had it two days running and several portions in the freezer. So I can have fast food but homemade. 😁♥️
@@k3n.clothtales Sounds delicious, and it really is getting to be time for winter weather food. . I hope you're keeping warm. I shall be batch cooking soon, but not to the degree I batch cooked in pandemic. I have a small chest freezer, and with money off block spends at Lidl just before Christmas 2019 I managed to almost fill it with fresh meats, - chicken,, mince, steaks, pork chops and belly, fish fillets and so on.. Was so lucky that happened before pandemic. Bought bags of frozen veg as well, so no "panic buying" , I had enough food for about 5 months. - I've always stocked up with frozen food, rice, pasta, tubs of instant mashed potato, and lots of canned food in case of having a bad winter. And batch cooking and reheating when needed helps keep the fuel bills down. (and I had enough toilet rolls for nearly a year because I buy in bulk when things are on offer). . . Take care. I . E♥️

👍💖🙏
Instead of changing the plug just get a travel adaptor.
I do have one but since it's an iron, I would rather change the plug ❤️
I’m a bit of a whore when it comes to naming meal times. I’m faithful when it comes to breakfast and supper (a snack before bed, NEVER the evening meal - that’s too posh by far! 😂) but as for the others, well, it depends on the company I’m in or what I’m eating. I don’t think that a sandwich at midday can really be classed as ‘dinner’ whereas my family on the east coast of Scotland definitely have ‘dinner’ at midday, it’s their main meal,of the day. ❤
Before I forget, as I've done several times...do you earn money from ads that play after your video, as well as from those that play before?
I always get a kick out of seeing an online quilter's fabrics that are the same as mine. I have the same pink and teal/green fabric and also don't like it much; I tea-dyed some of it, which helped a wee bit. Now I shall enjoy chopping it up more; thanks. 🙂
In Canada and the US we also have brunch -- first meal of the day late in the morning, and it can include both breakfasty things and light lunchy things. Other than that we here in northern Ontario usually have breakfast, lunch and supper. Bye bye for now.
Hello Kate, yes I earn from all ads though I don't enable mid reel ads as I think they are disturbing. As long as I have enough income, I won't do that. At the moment there are no ads as I had to change my payment account following the move and you have to go back to the beginning of the process to be verified. It's a bit worrying, hopefully it won't take too long. ❤️
@@k3n.clothtales Hopefully not, indeed. I wondered about the lack of ads recently. I hope you don't mind my asking; I just want to help and will gladly let "after ads" run as well as "before ads " if you benefit. 🧡
@@katethompson2818 thank you Kate, I don't mind at all ❤️
Only watching and listening, like most 'wonky Wednesdays'. Maybe in the future I'll rewatch them all and do the quilting blocks (and then perhaps it will become a quilt ...).
You asked how we call the meals. Of course here in the Netherlands we have Dutch words for them. Breakfast is called 'ontbijt', lunch is 'middageten' (but more and more people now call it 'lunch') and the evening meal is 'avondeten'. I we go out for dinner we call it 'diner' in the French way (or we use the verb 'dineren'). 'Thee' (tea) is the drink made of the leaves of the tea plant, or it is 'kruidenthee' (herbal tea). 🥣🍝🥮🍵
In NZ, for me, dinner was week nights 6pm. But on the weekend 6pm ish was tea. Lunch was noon and always called lunch. Supper was a hot drink and a biscuit. But we didn't have biscuits ... Mum made cocoa and we had hot buttered wheatmeal toast to dunk in it before bed. I went to sleep to the sound of a ticking/chiming clock, and I can hear yours ticking. It's lovely.
I am pleased you can hear the ticking. I can't hear it when I edit but probably because I can hear it in the room if that makes sense 😁❤️
❤
