I like the idea of doing your own advent. The book looks lovey might have to look for that. I didn’t have a good week as ended up in hospital till Friday. Looking forward to your Christmas vlogs xx
😄 oh Jeanette , I completely understood your DIY advent plan, but maybe I too have troubles finding my words. I had chemo for breast cancer 10 years ago and have struggled with menopause symptoms since. First I blamed brain fog on chemo, then on menopause then my husband had a hemorrhagic stroke 2 years ago and now I blame it on stress. He is doing amazingly well, but now retired and sometimes we laugh at who corrects who the most for word finding. This month we moved my mother into long term care for vascular dementia. Oh boy that puts a spin on just how to care for one’s brain health. I love the Woodland Whimsy patterns and better look into that book as well and your sweaters are coming along marvellously! Take care!
Oh wow you have been through the mill, but so pleased you’re still laughing with your husband. Life can be difficult at times and sometime I do wonder why us…. But then I realise is isn’t just us 🤷🏽♀️ I’m sure you would love the woodland whimsy pattern book, it’s just adorable with the most amazing patterns. Xxx
I'm so looking forward to Christmas in July with you, it's going to be fun. Hazel is beautiful, her necklace is the perfect touch .I completely understood what you were saying about your teddy advent. I often start talking then completely forget my words or say the wrong thing. I've been like this since the menopause, please don't worry too much about it. 😊
I think your idea of a home made Advent for your teddies is a lovely idea and I’ll look forward to that! Hazel is beautiful and glad she’s finished so wonderfully. You are so talented Jeanette. I think packing your birds away to make room for new things is a good idea and they are now well protected from moths too! In a small space you have to be practical sometimes!
Hi Jeanette, I love the idea of doing your own advent. Your sweaters are so pretty and Hazel is absolutely gorgeous. I can’t wait to see what cuties your make from the new book you received. So much fun. Thank you so much. 🐰❤️🐰
I find that once the toy animal is made, making the clothes and accessories is such fun. You have a great idea to make the advent for the teddies yourself. I like to use the bits of weird yarn, like eyelash yarn, for trims and such on the clothes. You can pull things together and have Tim wrap and number them so it will be a daily surprise.🤗 Thanks for sharing.
Oh I love that idea of using different yarns, so good for festive trims and to give it a little sparkle. I also never thought of getting Tim to wrap them, again great idea. Thank you so very much xxxx
Don't worry Jeanette I'm in my late 70s and I'm doing the same.. in fact I look at my hubbie and he comes out with the words I'm looking for! Don't keep apologising either you are who you are Don't change take care Paulinex
Hi Jeanette, I think the idea of making the teddy clothes, wrapping them up and then opening them as a Christmas advent is inspired. Yes, you know what you've made but, like when you go to the box containing your birds to give them an airing, it will be exciting because it will still be a surprise. Hazel is gorgeous, the blue cape matches the flowers beautifully and she looks very elegant! I'm looking forward to seeing the finished 12 Advent jumpers x
I’m looking forward to making my advents with the little bears and mice. That’s what my husband said about my Toft birds, it will be a nice surprise when I open the box again. Xxx
Hi Jeanette, I've only just got to the part where you are packing away your beautiful Toft birds and had to pause the video to put in a quick suggestion to be able to keep your birds out without taking up any shelf space.....ask your clever Timothy to make hangers (maybe with fishing line) and you/he can hang them all from the ceiling in your craft room....just saying😂 now I can carry on with your video, love Helen x❤
Oh Helen I love that idea. One of my other subscribers has said just put up another shelf. Lol lol I do have the room, I worry there’s far to much around and it looks to messy. Xxx
Your advent mice idea is lovely. I also loved your TOFT Nutcracker dolls from last year - I would probably have put the Sugarplum Fairy on the top of my Christmas tree. Christmas in July is not far away - I am so looking forward to it! Hazel the squirrel is gorgeous! You are such a good needlecrafter.
Hi lovely Jeanette,. Aww Zak looks so tired after his walk. Bless him. He's a mummy's boy!. Where you are, he is!. So cute!. Those fairies are beautiful. And I get what you mean regarding the tiny bear clothes. It will be exciting because uou won't know which outfit you will get day to day in your advent!. I get brain fog since the menopause Jeanette. Our son laughs at me. I too love anything knitted miniature!. Your sweater is beautiful! Wow! 11 already!. Aww Jeanette, your squirrel is a darling! She is adorable! Absolutely fantastic! You have done an awesome job of her!. Enjoy your weekend with Tim!.& Zak! , mandy xxx😊
Yes little Zak is like my shadow. He’s so old now and struggle more each day.😢😢 I can’t bear to think about the next few months he will be 17 in December. Xx
Love the idea of the Teddy Advent - those tiny bears are just so lucky to be getting so many surprises. Thank you Jeanette for all your hard wor, you bring so many people so much joy.
Jeannette you were so right Hazel came out beautifully. I know how you feel about not being able to get the words out. I have been going through it too. I've been taking vitamin B12 to help with my memory. Not sure if it helps but it can't hurt.
Another lovely inspirational podcast Jeanette. Hazel looks so very pretty with her shawl. The sweaters are coming along so well and the colours you chose for this month were perfect. I am so excited for Christmas in July on both your channels. Enjoy the sunshine we finally got some rain our way. ❤❤
I really enjoyed making Hazel, she was an absolute pleasure. The sweaters are coming along but just a little slower then when I first set out to make them. 🤪
I admire how organised you are. Looking forward to seeing everything come to life. I know how you feel with the brain fog. There are times when I can't string a sentence together or can't find the appropriate word. It's very frustrating, isn't it. X
Hi Jeanette, I love Hazel the squirrel. I think number 11 sweater might be my favourite so far. Lovely knitting pattern book. ❤❤Julie Tasmania Australia.
Jeanette, I understand what you were saying about the crochet advent the first time around. I sometimes have to scratch what I’m saying and start again and that’s exactly what I say to the person I am talking to-“Let me scratch that and try again.”
I do love the idea of the teddy advent I have the bear pattern and bunny. Not sure on the yarn as they are so small. Getting back to crafting Jeanette thank you.
I just love your idea for your advent! And I can’t wait to see all of those advent sweaters hanging up! Already feeling excited for Christmas in July (and I know that my own list of makes is already too long…😂) But whatever we manage to make, we’ll have fun! And your Hazel the squirrel is just gorgeous. I am so tempted to acquire that book… maybe I’ll put it on my Christmas list… xx
First of all-I can now crochet!!! After watching your RUclips channel and seeing all the cute designs you make, I had to finally learn. I’ve been a knitter for years and just couldn’t hold the yarn correctly for crochet. At least that’s what I thought!! The same day I decided to learn, there was a class starting the next day at my local yarn shop…and I’ve been crocheting ever since! Thank you for being the inspiration! I love it! Also-have you had your thyroid levels checked recently? When my numbers are off I get that same exact issue with words being trapped in my brain-and I’m a total talker. Thanks again for everything you do with your channel!! XX Lindsay
Oh I’m thrilled you can now crochet, you’ll never regret learning this new skill. I think attending class is a really good idea, I went to many when I first started to crochet. No I don’t believe I’ve had my thyroid checked, I’ll mention it to the doctor next time I see him. I’m so thrilled you enjoy the channel Lindsey, means a lot xxxxxx
Hazel is gorgeous, love how she turned out. I fully understood what you were saying about the clothes for the teddies, it’s going to be a really cute idea.. have a lovely week love and hugs xx
Hazel is just beautiful. What an amazing job you did. I understood what you were trying to say about the advent calendar- it must be kind of hard to talk into a camera and not have someone to react back to you.. just imagine so many of us nodding our heads all around the world. Christmas in July is looking really fun! Thanks for all of your hard work! Your channel is wonderful!
Heya 👋 thank you for the mention what a lovely surprise ❤ The squirrel you have made is adorable 👏 can't wait to see how your mouse turns out and the little scene in the suitcase x
I forget words or what I was chatting about mid sentence. If this is menopause it latsts a long time 🤣 I had a hysterectomy 20 years ago. I liken the brain to a computer and with time it just gets full, I love your idea of a Teddy advent
I adore your channel, and love the things u make. You introduce me to so many things I want to try, like felt animals bags and working with smaller crocheting animals I'm use to doing large amigurumi. I can not wait for ur little mice for Christmas in July. Thank you for your amazing content and can't wait for your next videos.
Love the idea of the suitcase house. I can’t wait to see what you come up with. Did you mention that you have a paper crafting Chanel also? I do a lot of paper crafting, cards and journals and would love to follow you.
I’m wanting to make a ‘Waldorf’ style doll for my grand girl for Christmas but I’m soooo scared. Where in the world will I find the gauze tube and tricot fabrics?..??🤔
Oh I’d love to make a Waldorf doll but never felt brave enough to. The only thing I can suggest is searching the internet. I have never really looked into them I’m afraid, so I’m not much help.
@@craftycleggscreations ty so much…..I’ve ordered most of what I need and shall start this weekend…..yikes! I’m going to buy a wee suitcase and make a selection of clothing for the doll. Wish me luck…I’ve never made a toy…just a lovey
Jeanette , I suffer with the same thing , regarding trying to get words out , it’s cause we are libras and the ideas we get scramble our Brian’s xx no worries
I was disappointed with the toft Christmas surprise, although it were 3 things to make , I don’t think I would bother with it again , I think either a cool crafting , or a can’t think of the name right now , but when I do I get back to you , I said night night to everyone of them that you put away , but like you say it’s good to display all your other makes much love ❤❤❤
Yeah I agree, I was at all happy with my Toft advent. I’m not having it this year. Don’t get me wrong I love Toft but just think it’s time for a change. Xxx
Miss Jeanette, don’t worry about the brain fog. The earth tilted a bit more and lots of people including myself are sensitive. When earth magnetic change it affects our brains. Eventually it’ll right itself and we’ll all be back to normal.

perhaps you could put the individually wrapped clothes , one inside each jumper and take out as you put the jumper for that day out?
That’s been a very popular suggestion Janette, great minds think alike. Xxx

60 lbs.? Like the equivalent of approx. $76.00 US? or am I doing something wrong on the conversion website.
No you haven't got that wrong $76 is about correct 😕
