OMG I'm dying here. Poodlegirl55 is actually Gloria and my husband of 50 years is the Mike. I couldn't sleep and got up for a bit, it's 2:00 a.m here. Oh K3n posted a long video, I'll watch 15 minutes of it and get back to bed . At 15 minutes suddenly it was Gloria and Mike and ripping fabric. I am laughing and want to go wake him up so bad!!!! I won't but we will have a big laugh over coffee in the morning. Thanks Kathryn, you are hilarious. App leeee kay on.
Good morning from Gloria and Mike! I can tell you he loved your hilarious story. It will now replace the one when I made a quick pit stop from my sewing room to the bathroom and heard a pin drop. Yes, I can really hear a pin drop. I searched for it but no luck. Then I thought oh Mike will find it with his foot for sure so I got a rag and mopped the floor. Still no pin so I went back to my sewing. After awhile I hear "What??? Why is there a pin in the toilet?"
I lost an earring down the toilet with a tissue from bedside table. Unfortunately I dropped tissue with left hand, heard the clink but as I realised, saw the earring in the bowl, my right hand flushed the chain. Nice filigree gold earring. 20 years on, I can still hear and see the episode.
Hello. I'm new to your channel. I wish I had never found you. !!! The washing up is pilled up in the sink, I can't find the vacuum cleaner under the ironing. I am getting my dogs out only because then they leave me in peace... thank you so much. I feel as if collecting all those lovely vintage fabrics and cotton have finally found their new purpose. I'm totally in love with slow stitching. And I love that you talk as if we are in the room with you. ❤
@lucy7b I listen while stitching. I'm sure my obsession will calm down. But you are right I will do that today. Have thought of getting rid of anything that needs dusting to give me more time ⏲️ 🤔.
Hi Kathryn. Wonderful vlog as always! We definitely wear jumpers in Australia! Love the freeing feeling of doing a nine patch this way after forty odd years of stitching with a precise sized square and a precise quarter inch! ( still love those as well 😊) Thanks for all the wittering - it’s like we are all sitting around a table sewing along with you. Very relaxing while watching all the hard work you clearly put into each of these sessions for us. ❤
I wasn’t able to keep up with a slow stitch project every week, so now I just listen to your RUclips video and watch you while I do some sewing. It’s like having a group of friends in a sewing circle.
When I was about eight years old, I really really wanted a dog. My family had had a dog before I was born, and my dad had handled dogs in the army, but I suppose having four children, they didn’t really want the expense and trouble of a dog. I used to get library books out about dogs, and I got excited when dad asked to look at one of my books about dogs. So when he use the phrase “I’m going to see a man about a dog,” I thought he meant it literally. When he saw my face fall as I realised it was just a figure of speech, he realised just how much I really wanted a dog. So he went and got one. She was the most wonderful dog and lived to a great old age.
Hello there, I am loving this video! I have only watched half so far, because I watch on my way to sleep. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and wonderful personality with us! We love listening to your stories. And thank you for the shout out, I've had numerous people stop by and tell me... YOU DO YOU... I am going to use that! LOL Sending hugs all the way to France!
I am a super Word Nerd, Book Nerd....basically a tall and wonky Nerd. Also, love the 3, I've been incorporating it in my life since I was very young. So Three 3's is simply divine. I am enjoying going back and seeing the videos that I missed before finding you through Jeri Bellini. x's
Been away and have suffered withdrawal from my Monday routine of watching k3n…home to find the loooongest video yet! Had to laugh. So have finally finished watching this brilliant and, as ever, entertaining video…thank you k3n. In S Wales not too far from your exhibition so I do ope to be able to visit it. Good luck with everything, and thank you.
Hello K3N love your stories, since finding your channel I have made a slow stitch journal, after 50 years of thinking no way could I hand stitch . to my surprise I'm actually improving and enjoy hand sewing on my journal. thank you kindly for teaching us and inspiring :)
Great video Kathryn. I love your stories. I’m in the US. We had a similar children’s television show called “Captain Kangaroo”. You brought back a lot of childhood memories! Your work is exceptional, very talented.❤
It was fun for a kid. Captain Kangaroo lived in a “Treasure House" where the Captain (the name "kangaroo" came from the big pockets in his coat) would tell stories. It had regular characters like Mr. Green Jeans, Mr. Moose, Mr. Bunny Rabbit, Grandfather Clock and Dancing Bear.
I agree with your slow stitching theory. I find myself becoming quite excited and over eager about my little projects and I’m always pulling myself up saying ‘it’s not suppose to cause an adrenaline rush!’ Slow down, relax. This is perfectly how it should be. 👋🇦🇺
What a wonderful start to the week. X Im going to use my little scraps in a nine patch to capture the colours of spring. Alas thumb surgery prevents actual sewing for a few weeks so ive temporarily stuck them down, with my husband cutting up the carefully selected pieces....,not easy to give instructions to a non fabric individual and stick with one hand and 4 fingers. !!!! You are so entertaining these past 9 weeks whilst i recover, ive got a backlog of sewing and your handy reminder to rest and exercise is well noted x x thank you again for the inspiration and mindfulness of slow stitch with little bits of scraps , im really loving it ! Ive adopted what you spoke about ...just a sample of fabric out for use and when i get short i go shopping in my very own collection. Im always discovering fabric , ribbon embellishments i forgot about so its all getting auditioned now !! x x
I love this video! Watching you stitch, listening to your stories, hearing your 9 patch poem! Delightful! Inspiring! Relaxing! Thank you! More stories please in upcoming videos!
Your stories of expressions reminds me of a dear friend who I don’t see nearly as much as I’d like. If it looks like he’s searching around for something, and someone asks what he’s looking for, his answer is always, “something to find” 😂
LOVE this video. I enjoyed your reminiscing as much as the actual project. Don’t know of you even thought about it, but sharing like that as you stitch not only allows you to have a record of your teaching of projects, but a record of your memories. Priceless. ❤
Love hearing Stella in her high heels (nails) on the floor and her snories 🐶. Reminds me of my old dog Vinny who was a Boston terrier so had a smoosh face and could really snore!
Hiya K3n😊,My Maman and us3 girls have always talked allat once!-That way we could "unload" and "catch up" at the same time,after which we could allow the conversation to flow at a gentler pace!My poor,dear Papa,would get quite frustrated as he couldn't follow along like " his girls" and have to resort to rapping on the table and telling us to be polite and let our Mother speak first!!( just so he could keep up!) So must be a " female" idiosyncrasy. Personally, l just love listening as l find myself chatting back to you!Thankyou for these times😊Best wishes, Julia. J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 ♥ 😊
I am soo happy to hear that talking all at once is fairly normal in some circles. Others call it "interrupting" and I've been living in shame for years. Now I live between and back and forth in the two worlds.
@@wildsunne5673 👋, at 73yrs, lve come to look at it that it's only "interrupting" if you don't get your "neb" in first!! Lol 😆 ( Besides l can always pretend to be deaf- except with my sisters and sons,who say that ,like my mother, l can "hear a pin drop at the Cove of Cork!)😆 have a great week.(;-))
I am reminded of my step daughter who talks really quickly (in three languages FYI 😉) and when her father (my husband) once said slow down, you are talking too quickly, she said no, you are listening too slowly... 😂❤️
So I've been smiling at the 'ap-plee-kay' every time, as a Yorkshire lass in New Zealand, I often have different pronunciation to lots of people so I love the acceptance of the differences on this channel, your beautiful manner of discussing differences - wadding/batting, wellies/gumboots, pants/trousers is so inclusive and invites connection through it, I love it. I have one to add - since the beginning, I've been wondering about 'basting stitch, (I think of turkeys every time) just googled it and now realise I call it tacking 😊😊
My favorite of your videos so far are the ones that are about an hour long. But I don't mind when you edit:) I don't want to fast forward and miss anything! I think you are quite good at these videos, including the edits!
Thank you so much you are kind. An hour is kind of what I aim for. This week I overshot somewhat. 😂 But I thought I would leave it unedited to see how it went down. I won't do it every week. 😂❤️
Sooty and Sweep! I remember when Matthew's father, Harry Corbett, was the presenter. He lived in Guisley. And would any member of this group want Stella banished? Surely not.
How funny I was talking about Guisley and never knew Harry Corbett lived there. I am sitting with my mum and she says she saw him perform at Eccles hill cricket club when she was a very little girl 😁♥️
Was a great fan of Sooty and Sweep and had both puppets as gifts from relatives for a birthday when young! So great to listen to those of one's own ❤ era!Julia 😊.( learning to use this device,present from my son,hence the Damien! )
Am a bit behind, as I've been completing some trousers... Have been happily sewing along with your video, thoroughly enjoying every moment. Love it all. Am looking forward to sewing the pieces for weeks 8 & 9.
I brought "The Wonky Donkey" book on our camping trip one time and read it to my son and we laughed and laughed. It's a great book. So now every year at the campfire, we read this book again. This will be the 3rd or 4th summer doing that and my son is 5. I imagine we'll outgrow it soon but it's still funny.
Thank you Kathryn for another great video tutorial. I love seeing what this week’s prompt is and letting my brain start firing. I also watched Marion’s video with the time tree and it was amazing. Long videos suit me just fine.
Well, today I had a really long pleasant afternoon with you stitching ☺️ The grid of nine you made and then when you said that you’d love to make a cloth out of little squarish bits reminded me of crumb quilting that I have learnt from someone I follow on instagram and RUclips. I’m doing a crumb quilt (a mini one, for a pouch, what else?😂) by hand, because my sewing machine broke, and I’m loving it. It’s so nice to use all the unwanted, unloved bits that we didn’t throw away but have put aside. I always have multiple projects: the bag you taught us how to, the pouch, a book… Congratulations on your exhibition, I wish I could go. The poem is awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 And, yes, I heard little Stella snoring 💤! So cute! She reminded me of my beloved first dog. She snored a lot too 😊 🩷💚💙🤎🤍🧡🩵💛♥️💜
You really raking up deep deep memories. We would watch Sooty & Sweep when Matthew’s father Harry was the parent of these puppets. We also had a club and saved the Kellogg’s large cardboard packets which would feature a face mask on the back. We asked our mobile ice cream van selling Wall’s Ice cream if it was alright to call ourselves The Walls club. Living in a cul de sac there were a host of children all around the same age,
Such a lovely image of children running round with cornflakes packets on their faces. At the risk of sounding like an old fuddy duddy, I suppose these days there's an app.... 🤔😉❤️
This was so fun!! And when you said English Paper Piecing a lightbulb moment for me --- instead of fussing over cutting out the squares just so -- I actually started with my batting (wading) and roughly cut sizes squarish and rectangularish --- and used those as the paper piecing templates for cutting my fabric -- This wonky nine patch was such fun to stitch -- and I may even use the little blocks as canvas to stitch on top of .... maybe leaves to be a companion for my ORT tree from Marion.
I'm catching up and so am late to comment. Thank you so much for these videos. They are getting me through a bit of a rough patch in life. I'm thinking of combining some of my poems with some cloth pieces. Take good care. I am knitting while watching but am so taken with this way of stitching. It is very freeing and peaceful after years spent piecing quilts and fretting about precision.
I really like your colours for this one! The concept is simple but the out come is so stunning😍😍. I also said oh Wow! after watching Marion’s tree video. The video where she did the owls was also a Wow video. Thank You for this video. I enjoy your projects and your conversations👏🏻👏🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Dearest Kathryn, such a lovely 9 patch and poem idea. The poem structure puzzle evoked haiku, sonnet, or sudoku. The freedom that constraints offer. I’m wishing I had one of those magnetic poetry sets for the fridge now. And Marion’s tangle tree; I gasped. Isn’t she a wonder? xo
Thank you, yes to the haiku, sonnet and sudoku. I have made sudoku quilts and also crochet blankets and am thinking of in the future doing a video using this method. At some point... And yes Marion is marvellous in every way and a lovely person ❤️❤️❤️
What a lovely whitter, bought back so many happy memories of “there and back to see how far it is” and “see a man about a dog” my grandparents used to say this. I must go and look at Marion’s world to see the threads tree. Sitting doing my nine patches now and so enjoying it.
The childhood I do remember is when I was crafting and making, what was called toilet water. A strange name for perfume. I was a collector of things. Nothing was safe. The older I got the more I felt this was ridicules and stopped. Now that I have been watching creative people on RUclips, I have felt my childhood fun come back and I love it. You have made my week. Thank you Oh, my true first name is Audrey LOL Now I am collecting onion skins. LOL My son calls me his hippy mom. Which is more like what I was. BRING ON THE LONG WAVY SKIRTS. Again Thank you
😂 I always look forward to not only your lessons but always your little “quips”. “Here endeth the lesson”. Reminds me of my early Lutheran church days. 😉 ❤.
Oh Kathryn you’re such a tonic, l have been to the doctors yet again about this lingering ear infection and came back and sat and watched your video. You are such fun and you really cheered me up. I love your poem very clever. 👏👏👏. Thank you so much I’m really loving this series. Love Bella xx
Love listening to your stories. When we asked our Dad where he was going, he’d say : “ off to see a man about a gooses bridle”. So then, we’d be left wondering what that was! We wear jumpers in Australia. 🐑😊
I enjoyed this Kathryn... Your book is going to be so fat and squishy by the time another 9 months go by! I love poetry , but hadn't heard of grid poems before. I shall be looking him up promptly... Thanks for the shout out about the tree. I didn't think it was particularly something that different, but I've had people coming over to have a look... :) I might have to pick your brains about putting a circular paper book together as it's not something I've done before. But it won't be until the end of the year!
I will admit that I wondered where you were going with it when you chucked the pile of yarn and threads down. 😂 It was like some kind of sculpture how you conjoured a tree out of it. 🥰
Thank you very much for a wonderful video content! Love, love every bit of it especially the stories. It brings back sweet memories of my childhood with my Grandma stitching her patch work as she tells us stories of her memories of time past. Thank you for persevering to the end, Kathryn (?sp). Sorry you got a bit physically tired. We love your long videos but we don’t want you getting exhausted, pause when it happens. Hello to Stella. Snore away to your heart’s content, sweet one. I don’t mind at all. Raining here too 🇺🇸. I’m currently making a fabric bible cover and using Ainu running stitch at the seam while watching/ listening to you. Thank you for being a wonderful company. God bless you & your family.❤
My mom is chatty like yours. We both are, and when others listen they are amazed at how we don’t even have to complete a sentence to understand each other.
This week is right up my alley! I never met a bright color I didn’t like! Today I went to the dentist for a crown, so Tuesday will be stitching day for me. Looking forward to it very much!
During a warm spell in January I buried some cloth with rusty pins all throughout to use in my book of trees journal. It is taking all of my resolve not to go unearthing it every morning as I am impatient to see what lovely marks the earth is working on it. I have set a time frame for when the first daffodils bloom in my yard to dig it up from under my stately oak tree. I first thought I would bury my journal cover but I am convinced the squirrels will make off with it. Lol. Hoping you will share your buried book results.
I have always been the same way about not remembering my own age and having to calculate it.. until this year. My uncle texted me a Happy Birthday and called me Double Nickels! I love it! Now I am determined to make it stick so I can be forever 55! 😂
I like the notion of talking and listening at the same time that you mentioned. It deserves a new compound word all to itself. listenatter (v) (n) harkentalk, harkenwitter v) (n) listnenspeke (v) (n) witterhear (v) (n)
Hi K3N. I’ve just finished my 9 patch on YOU TUBE. I shall upload it soon and as always give you the inspiration mention. Even though I did a nine patch, I kind of adjusted it to my own agenda. lol. You however were my prompt inspiration! I thank you very much. Love your videos. 💕💕💕vicki
Dear! You need to write a book with all your stories. It may be the way to tell them; the images they convey are lovely, fun and I really enjoy ❤ thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences ❤
Love the long form vids. I will also have it on as I stitch, looking up from time to time, then rewatch when I have time, look for what I want. Thanks for sharing with us what has been an enjoyable morning . 🫶🏼🇦🇺🦘🌸
Your nine piece poem! Love love love👏👏👏👏 absolutely hat tip to you k3n for your dedication to the commitment you made to show up 'for us' every week! I know we would all support you taking a week off to rest, esp around the time of an exhibition! I can't wait to see your 'wooded' work but I'm getting ahead of myself. Your 9 patch is already stunning already pre seed stitch! I too was blown away to see Marion grow a tree out of her tangle- superb! Best regards from NZ where appleeeeque is also the official pronunciation 😂 Happy exhibition piece creating and I hope your daughter finds your precious rusty bundle!
Thank you so much 😊 I plan to record two Mondays in advance to cover my trip so hopefully that will go ok. And thank you for your thoughtfulness too ❤️
I truly appreciate your comments on slow stitching. I'm pretty new to it and when I share my pieces with friends they often ask what slow stitching is. I tell them what I think, but am not too sure if I'm giving an accurate answer.❤
Love this little piece and thank you for your time. Looking forward to onion dyeing, there wasn’t much at the grocery store this morning ☹️ maybe someone beat me to it! Hope you can record your upcoming exhibition. I don’t know how you do it all, do you ever sleep 😴
Great video Kathryn. Not long finished watching it. Your book is going to be so fat and squishy by another 9 months have passed! Thanks for the shout out about my thread end tree.... I didn't particularly think it was that different, but I have had people coming across to have a look at it! :) Also I love poetry too but hadn't heard of grid poems at all. I'll be going to have a look promptly... I'll have to pick your brains about putting a circular paper book together as it's something I haven't done before. It won't be until the end of the year though. Happy stitching...
Loved your story Kathryn about your granddad! It made me think of my grandpa, and I only had one set of grandparents on my mother's side that were living when I was born. Anyway, If any of us kids would ask " where's grandma or mom" his only reply would be "she went to sh*t and the hogs ate her"... I'm 62 now, and I've never heard anyone else say that phrase. I don't know where it came from! and he wasn't any kind of farmer. 😁
Ha ha! My (English) dad was a stickler for table manners too. We were gently poked with a fork if our elbows stayed to the table top, and we had to ask to be excused when our plates were clean.
The new cloth is a perfect contrast to show off your work, I like it much better than the old one. Oh my, I did the same to my cheek yesterday as well, of course once you do that it’s hard not to bite it again.
I can remember being part of an attic club with neighbours. They had a fantastic walk in attic that we would explore and play with Victorian toys. We had membership cards and rules.
My hubby, John, is a poet and ghost writer. I rewound you a bit and got him to listen to what you said about the grid or 9 patch poem. I’m sure he will come back with his own musings very soon. Yes, Aussies wear jumpers. Aussies also have wadding. A lot of Aussie sayings and stories are the same as yours, I’ve always heard, and probably said myself, the reply about seeing a man about a dog, or going there and back to see how far it is. As for undergarments here in OZ, boys wear jocks and girls wear nickers. I haven’t been making all your weekly projects, just one or two here and there. A friend and I did some jelly printing on worn white sheet pieces a few weeks ago, and when we held them up we saw the jewel tones shine in the light. I then said to my friend we should make a Pojagi curtain and she said what is that? Well I had to find all the links and share with her. Having said that, I still haven’t started. One day when life is not whizzing by so fast. Stashes. We went for a little hour and a half drive today to pick up a large tub of knitting looms. (My 10 yr old home schooled sewing student has decided she’d like to learn to knit herself a jumper for Winter, she has just last week put the last stitch in her first quilt top. Next week we will sandwich it). We arrived at the destination and proceeded to have to car filled to the roof with so much yarn, fabric etc etc. The lady I thought I was meeting was in fact recently deceased, and it was her husband. He then asked if I could please help him pack his wife’s clothes as well and find a home for them. He was having trouble doing it and her sister and friends said they just couldn’t. Anyway, now my stashes that was more than sufficient has yet again grown. Oh dear. Cheers😘
Will be interested to hear your husband's musings. So lovely of you to help that poor man with his wife's things. And your home schooler sounds delightful ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been chuckling along with you as I remember collecting rose petals quite often. My best friend and I always thought it would make a lovely fragrance, it really didn’t!! I also used to take the middles from felt tip pens, put them into jars of water and dye all my doll clothes. Mum was not impressed! Looking forward to making a little nine patch x
Thank you for talking about Claire Wellsly Smith. I found her website and blog, and will be reading up! I giggle about all the new words I learn here. This week, it was "wittering"🙃 and you brought back memories talking about your 2 member club. For us, it was a 3 member stamp club that met in a hayloft. But I don't remember it lasting very long because we were [not] allowed to play up there much (as I remember). And even though you rant on about neat and precise slow stitch as acceptable, I am sure glad you do wonky, 'cause I am as about slapdash as it gets! When you talked about things your auntie, mum, and pop would say, it reminded me of the little notebook of sayings of my father I created the first months after he passed away. I am not binding my journal until all the pages are created. The first signature is the first 8 weeks, and this week is the first page of the 2nd signature. I estimated the spine will be about 6 inches wide. Then you had to talk about pages for journaling, so I will be slipping in some of those now, too!🙃 I am still stitching the cover and decided to add circles made using different techniques from the weekly pages. I truly enjoy these weekly videos🌷🌷🌷
I had a light bulb moment when you were explaining how free motion quilting is actually mindful stitching. That’s exactly how I feel when doing FM quilting. I’m not great at it, but I enjoy it so much. When I discovered slow stitching it gave me the same kind of joy. Thank you so much for your “wittering on.”
How I love your sharing of knowledge, stories, sayings and wittering, I can really relate. Enjoyed the long video, I always think it’s like having a coffee with a friend. I would love to attend your exhibition if I can get there, that would be amazing
I’m now on number 8 but looking at 9 and having a great lazy day thank you I’m learning so many new things. Trying hard to catch up with you, I can’t show any of my work as I can’t dont get into your group to post . I think it might be because my iPad is to old. 🌟
Hello, I am so sorry, you should be able to get in, someone else has reported trouble as well, can you message me on Facebook and I will try to let you in? facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009438778201

Good morning from Gloria and Mike! I can tell you he loved your hilarious story. It will now replace the one when I made a quick pit stop from my sewing room to the bathroom and heard a pin drop. Yes, I can really hear a pin drop. I searched for it but no luck. Then I thought oh Mike will find it with his foot for sure so I got a rag and mopped the floor. Still no pin so I went back to my sewing. After awhile I hear "What??? Why is there a pin in the toilet?"
That is funny 🤣
Oh my goodness,that’s hilarious. 😂

I lost an earring down the toilet with a tissue from bedside table. Unfortunately I dropped tissue with left hand, heard the clink but as I realised, saw the earring in the bowl, my right hand flushed the chain. Nice filigree gold earring. 20 years on, I can still hear and see the episode.

Hello. I'm new to your channel. I wish I had never found you. !!!
The washing up is pilled up in the sink, I can't find the vacuum cleaner under the ironing. I am getting my dogs out only because then they leave me in peace... thank you so much. I feel as if collecting all those lovely vintage fabrics and cotton have finally found their new purpose. I'm totally in love with slow stitching. And I love that you talk as if we are in the room with you. ❤
Yeay housework is overrated 😂 welcome welcome, lovely to have you here ❤️
@k3n.clothtales thank you 😊. I agree housework is overrated. I burnt my dinner tonight 🙃.
Ha, ha there must be a lot of us neglecting house work around the world since starting k3n weekly challenges.
@@karendixon9419I listen whilst I tidy my kitchen.
@lucy7b I listen while stitching. I'm sure my obsession will calm down. But you are right I will do that today.

Hi Kathryn. Wonderful vlog as always! We definitely wear jumpers in Australia! Love the freeing feeling of doing a nine patch this way after forty odd years of stitching with a precise sized square and a precise quarter inch! ( still love those as well 😊)

I wasn’t able to keep up with a slow stitch project every week, so now I just listen to your RUclips video and watch you while I do some sewing. It’s like having a group of friends in a sewing circle.
Happy you are enjoying the videos ❤️
I, too, was so amazed when Marion sculptured all that mess into a tree. I am in awe of her, she is so talented.
When I was about eight years old, I really really wanted a dog.
My family had had a dog before I was born, and my dad had handled dogs in the army, but I suppose having four children, they didn’t really want the expense and trouble of a dog. I used to get library books out about dogs, and I got excited when dad asked to look at one of my books about dogs. So when he use the phrase “I’m going to see a man about a dog,” I thought he meant it literally. When he saw my face fall as I realised it was just a figure of speech, he realised just how much I really wanted a dog. So he went and got one. She was the most wonderful dog and lived to a great old age.
What a lovely story!!

Love your stitching and your stories Kathryn. Please never change. ❤

True- never change!
I am stitching as I watch and listen to you, love your work and so love your stories!
Hello there, I am loving this video! I have only watched half so far, because I watch on my way to sleep. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and wonderful personality with us!

Thank you Lynda ❤️
Been away and have suffered withdrawal from my Monday routine of watching k3n…home to find the loooongest video yet! Had to laugh. So have finally finished watching this brilliant and, as ever, entertaining video…thank you k3n. In S Wales not too far from your exhibition so I do ope to be able to visit it. Good luck with everything, and thank you.
My pleasure 😊 hope you can make the exhibition, it would be lovely to meet you ❤️
Hello K3N love your stories, since finding your channel I have made a slow stitch journal, after 50 years of thinking no way could I hand stitch . to my surprise I'm actually improving and enjoy hand sewing on my journal. thank you kindly for teaching us and inspiring :)
My pleasure so pleased you are finding joy in hand stitching ❤️
Great video Kathryn. I love your stories. I’m in the US. We had a similar children’s television show called “Captain Kangaroo”. You brought back a lot of childhood memories! Your work is exceptional, very talented.❤
Thank you so much, captain Kangaroo sounds fun 😁❤️
It was fun for a kid. Captain Kangaroo lived in a “Treasure House" where the Captain (the name "kangaroo" came from the big pockets in his coat) would tell stories. It had regular characters like Mr. Green Jeans, Mr. Moose, Mr. Bunny Rabbit, Grandfather Clock and Dancing Bear.
I will have a look online, I am intrigued now 😄
I love the long videos because it’s great background while I stitch on the Manx quilt I’m working on
Thank you, I am going to explore Manx quilts as part of my wonky cabin series ♥️
I agree with your slow stitching theory. I find myself becoming quite excited and over eager about my little projects and I’m always pulling myself up saying ‘it’s not suppose to cause an adrenaline rush!’ Slow down, relax. This is perfectly how it should be. 👋🇦🇺
What a wonderful start to the week. X Im going to use my little scraps in a nine patch to capture the colours of spring. Alas thumb surgery prevents actual sewing for a few weeks so ive temporarily stuck them down, with my husband cutting up the carefully selected pieces....,not easy to give instructions to a non fabric individual and stick with one hand and 4 fingers. !!!! You are so entertaining these past 9 weeks whilst i recover, ive got a backlog of sewing and your handy reminder to rest and exercise is well noted x x thank you again for the inspiration and mindfulness of slow stitch with little bits of scraps , im really loving it ! Ive adopted what you spoke about ...just a sample of fabric out for use and when i get short i go shopping in my very own collection. Im always discovering fabric , ribbon embellishments i forgot about so its all getting auditioned now !! x x
heal soon
I hope your thumb heals quickly and good on your husband, not sure mine would do that for me 😁❤️
One never realizes how important a working thumb is until you can’t use it.
I love this video! Watching you stitch, listening to your stories, hearing your 9 patch poem!
Delightful! Inspiring! Relaxing! Thank you! More stories please in upcoming videos!
Thank you I am sure there will be ♥️
I am a curator of a collection of craft supplys. I know right where everything is when I can fined them. No hoarding , No stashing for me, I collect.
I love these videos from you, Kathryn- I love how the fabric has Bali or watercolor- real pretty!💕🥰I find it hard to find it, so far!
Thank you Sandra ❤️
Your stories of expressions reminds me of a dear friend who I don’t see nearly as much as I’d like. If it looks like he’s searching around for something, and someone asks what he’s looking for, his answer is always, “something to find” 😂
😂 that's a good one 😉❤️
LOVE this video. I enjoyed your reminiscing as much as the actual project. Don’t know of you even thought about it, but sharing like that as you stitch not only allows you to have a record of your teaching of projects, but a record of your memories. Priceless. ❤
Yes, it's a little bit like a verbal stitch journal isn't it? Thank you so much for pointing that out. ❤️
I let last week's project throw me in a tizzy. This week, I've gained control of my senses and will remember to enjoy myself.
It was a bit stressy, I am sorry.. some people loved it and others not so much 😁❤️
@@k3n.clothtales it's all a learning experience. Forward to a new project!
I really like listening to you as if we are in the room with you. Very instructive and very pleasant
Thank you ❤️
I saw Marion make the tree. I couldn’t believe it! She is so wonderful and talented!
Isn't she? There is a second video posted yesterday I am looking forward to enjoying later ❤️
Love hearing Stella in her high heels (nails) on the floor and her snories 🐶. Reminds me of my old dog Vinny who was a Boston terrier so had a smoosh face and could really snore!
Her high heels! 😂😂😂❤️
This was the best every, K3N. I love the nine patch, as you have done it and so enjoyed your poem and all the lovely wittering. Thank you again.
Thank you so pleased you enjoyed it 😁😊
Hiya K3n😊,My Maman and us3 girls have always talked allat once!-That way we could "unload" and "catch up" at the same time,after which we could allow the conversation to flow at a gentler pace!My poor,dear Papa,would get quite frustrated as he couldn't follow along like " his girls" and have to resort to rapping on the table and telling us to be polite and let our Mother speak first!!( just so he could keep up!) So must be a " female" idiosyncrasy. Personally, l just love listening as l find myself chatting back to you!Thankyou for these times😊Best wishes, Julia. J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 ♥ 😊
Hi Julia, I do think it's a girl thing indeed, my husband can't cope with it 😁♥️
I am soo happy to hear that talking all at once is fairly normal in some circles. Others call it "interrupting" and I've been living in shame for years. Now I live between and back and forth in the two worlds.
@@wildsunne5673 👋, at 73yrs, lve come to look at it that it's only "interrupting" if you don't get your "neb" in first!! Lol 😆 ( Besides l can always pretend to be deaf- except with my sisters and sons,who say that ,like my mother, l can "hear a pin drop at the Cove of Cork!)😆 have a great week.(;-))
I am reminded of my step daughter who talks really quickly (in three languages FYI 😉) and when her father (my husband) once said slow down, you are talking too quickly, she said no, you are listening too slowly... 😂❤️
I hope you'll give us a peek at your exhibition as it comes together! I'd love to see the cloths unveiled as they come out of the woods
I will share certainly my own work and hopefully a video of the exhibition if my colleagues are ok with it 😁♥️
So I've been smiling at the 'ap-plee-kay' every time, as a Yorkshire lass in New Zealand, I often have different pronunciation to lots of people so I love the acceptance of the differences on this channel, your beautiful manner of discussing differences - wadding/batting, wellies/gumboots, pants/trousers is so inclusive and invites connection through it, I love it. I have one to add - since the beginning, I've been wondering about 'basting stitch, (I think of turkeys every time) just googled it and now realise I call it tacking 😊😊
😂 I think actually basting is a US term, I probably call it that because I learnt it from Jude Hill. ♥️
Just finishing of watching whilst I tidy my kitchen. I’m 66 tomorrow and I get my pension, whoo-hoo.
Congratulations and happy birthday for tomorrow 🎊🎈🎊❤️
My favorite of your videos so far are the ones that are about an hour long. But I don't mind when you edit:) I don't want to fast forward and miss anything! I think you are quite good at these videos, including the edits!
Thank you so much you are kind. An hour is kind of what I aim for. This week I overshot somewhat. 😂 But I thought I would leave it unedited to see how it went down. I won't do it every week. 😂❤️
Hahaha … I definitely think the NACC should be resurrected. And thank you for this video and your ongoing inspiration. ❤️
Cuttlefish beaks and all! 😂
Sooty and Sweep! I remember when Matthew's father, Harry Corbett, was the presenter. He lived in Guisley.
And would any member of this group want Stella banished? Surely not.
How funny I was talking about Guisley and never knew Harry Corbett lived there. I am sitting with my mum and she says she saw him perform at Eccles hill cricket club when she was a very little girl 😁♥️
I watched Sooty when Harry was the presenter. My daughter used to love it and had both “Tooty” and Su puppets!
Was a great fan of Sooty and Sweep and had both puppets as gifts from relatives for a birthday when young! So great to listen to those of one's own ❤ era!Julia 😊.( learning to use this device,present from my son,hence the Damien! )
@@damienk5011 when I see the name now, I always know it's actually Julia 😁♥️
@@damienk5011 hi Julia 👍
Am a bit behind, as I've been completing some trousers... Have been happily sewing along with your video, thoroughly enjoying every moment. Love it all. Am looking forward to sewing the pieces for weeks 8 & 9.
Wow Jill you can make trousers? 😱 Impressed 😁❤️
I brought "The Wonky Donkey" book on our camping trip one time and read it to my son and we laughed and laughed. It's a great book. So now every year at the campfire, we read this book again. This will be the 3rd or 4th summer doing that and my son is 5. I imagine we'll outgrow it soon but it's still funny.
Such a lovely tradition. Even when you outgrow it, the memory will always be special ♥️
Thank you Kathryn for another great video tutorial. I love seeing what this week’s prompt is and letting my brain start firing. I also watched Marion’s video with the time tree and it was amazing. Long videos suit me just fine.
Wonderful to hear and my pleasure 😊
I love this one. 💖 took me three sittings but I enjoyed every minute with you. 😂💖💖
😂 glad you enjoyed it 😊
We watched in Australia. I still have my sooty puppet.... I am 60years!
Well, today I had a really long pleasant afternoon with you stitching ☺️
The grid of nine you made and then when you said that you’d love to make a cloth out of little squarish bits reminded me of crumb quilting that I have learnt from someone I follow on instagram and RUclips. I’m doing a crumb quilt (a mini one, for a pouch, what else?😂) by hand, because my sewing machine broke, and I’m loving it. It’s so nice to use all the unwanted, unloved bits that we didn’t throw away but have put aside.
I always have multiple projects: the bag you taught us how to, the pouch, a book…
Congratulations on your exhibition, I wish I could go.
The poem is awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And, yes, I heard little Stella snoring 💤! So cute! She reminded me of my beloved first dog. She snored a lot too 😊
🩷💚💙🤎🤍🧡🩵💛♥️💜
We will be doing crumb quilting one week, by hand of course. I used to do it a lot by machine. ❤️
Very much enjoyed your stories!
You really raking up deep deep memories. We would watch Sooty & Sweep when Matthew’s father Harry was the parent of these puppets. We also had a club and saved the Kellogg’s large cardboard packets which would feature a face mask on the back. We asked our mobile ice cream van selling Wall’s Ice cream if it was alright to call ourselves The Walls club. Living in a cul de sac there were a host of children all around the same age,
Such a lovely image of children running round with cornflakes packets on their faces. At the risk of sounding like an old fuddy duddy, I suppose these days there's an app.... 🤔😉❤️
Your stitchery is always inspiring. 💖. But I also love your stories. 💖💖
Thank you ❤️
This was so fun!! And when you said English Paper Piecing a lightbulb moment for me --- instead of fussing over cutting out the squares just so -- I actually started with my batting (wading) and roughly cut sizes squarish and rectangularish --- and used those as the paper piecing templates for cutting my fabric -- This wonky nine patch was such fun to stitch -- and I may even use the little blocks as canvas to stitch on top of .... maybe leaves to be a companion for my ORT tree from Marion.
That's a great idea
I'm catching up and so am late to comment. Thank you so much for these videos. They are getting me through a bit of a rough patch in life. I'm thinking of combining some of my poems with some cloth pieces. Take good care. I am knitting while watching but am so taken with this way of stitching. It is very freeing and peaceful after years spent piecing quilts and fretting about precision.
It is my pleasure, I absolutely relate to the years of fretting about precision. I am very pleased you are enjoying the videos ❤️
I really like your colours for this one! The concept is simple but the out come is so stunning😍😍. I also said oh Wow! after watching Marion’s tree video. The video where she did the owls was also a Wow video. Thank You for this video. I enjoy your projects and your conversations👏🏻👏🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Thank you Brenda, lovely to have you here ❤️
Excellent, love your poem, so clever! Thank you.
Thank you ❤️
Dearest Kathryn, such a lovely 9 patch and poem idea. The poem structure puzzle evoked haiku, sonnet, or sudoku. The freedom that constraints offer. I’m wishing I had one of those magnetic poetry sets for the fridge now. And Marion’s tangle tree; I gasped. Isn’t she a wonder? xo
Thank you, yes to the haiku, sonnet and sudoku. I have made sudoku quilts and also crochet blankets and am thinking of in the future doing a video using this method. At some point... And yes Marion is marvellous in every way and a lovely person ❤️❤️❤️
What a lovely whitter, bought back so many happy memories of “there and back to see how far it is” and “see a man about a dog” my grandparents used to say this. I must go and look at Marion’s world to see the threads tree. Sitting doing my nine patches now and so enjoying it.
So pleased you are enjoying it Carol. I think you will love Marion's tree too ♥️
The childhood I do remember is when I was crafting and making, what was called toilet water. A strange name for perfume. I was a collector of things. Nothing was safe. The older I got the more I felt this was ridicules and stopped. Now that I have been watching creative people on RUclips, I have felt my childhood fun come back and I love it. You have made my week. Thank you Oh, my true first name is Audrey LOL Now I am collecting onion skins. LOL My son calls me his hippy mom. Which is more like what I was. BRING ON THE LONG WAVY SKIRTS. Again Thank you
My pleasure, yes toilet water is a funny one, sounds better in French eau de toilette 😁❤️
😂 I always look forward to not only your lessons but always your little “quips”. “Here endeth the lesson”. Reminds me of my early Lutheran church days. 😉 ❤.
😂❤️
Loved the Scotty Dog story .Scotties have "owned" me for many years. Hi from South Africa 🇿🇦
Hello ♥️
Oh Kathryn you’re such a tonic, l have been to the doctors yet again about this lingering ear infection and came back and sat and watched your video. You are such fun and you really cheered me up. I love your poem very clever. 👏👏👏.
Thank you so much I’m really loving this series. Love Bella xx
Thank you Bella so pleased I cheered you up. I hope you feel better soon ❤️
I love the end of your sleeves with just a little contrast! Slow stitching has been so enjoyable and so relaxing.
Thank you ❤️
Love listening to your stories. When we asked our Dad where he was going, he’d say : “ off to see a man about a gooses bridle”. So then, we’d be left wondering what that was!
We wear jumpers in Australia. 🐑😊
And he never ever actually came home with a goose's bridle? 😂
I enjoyed this Kathryn... Your book is going to be so fat and squishy by the time another 9 months go by! I love poetry , but hadn't heard of grid poems before. I shall be looking him up promptly... Thanks for the shout out about the tree. I didn't think it was particularly something that different, but I've had people coming over to have a look... :) I might have to pick your brains about putting a circular paper book together as it's not something I've done before. But it won't be until the end of the year!
I will admit that I wondered where you were going with it when you chucked the pile of yarn and threads down. 😂 It was like some kind of sculpture how you conjoured a tree out of it. 🥰
Thank you very much for a wonderful video content! Love, love every bit of it especially the stories. It brings back sweet memories of my childhood with my Grandma stitching her patch work as she tells us stories of her memories of time past. Thank you for persevering to the end, Kathryn (?sp). Sorry you got a bit physically tired. We love your long videos but we don’t want you getting exhausted, pause when it happens.
Hello to Stella. Snore away to your heart’s content, sweet one. I don’t mind at all.
Raining here too 🇺🇸. I’m currently making a fabric bible cover and using Ainu running stitch at the seam while watching/ listening to you.
Thank you for being a wonderful company. God bless you & your family.❤
Thank you you spelt my name correctly too 😁 so pleased you liked the looong video ❤️
My mom is chatty like yours. We both are, and when others listen they are amazed at how we don’t even have to complete a sentence to understand each other.
Just love that, on the same wavelength 😁♥️
This week is right up my alley! I never met a bright color I didn’t like! Today I went to the dentist for a crown, so Tuesday will be stitching day for me. Looking forward to it very much!
Have fun and hope the crown settles in ok 😁❤️
During a warm spell in January I buried some cloth with rusty pins all throughout to use in my book of trees journal. It is taking all of my resolve not to go unearthing it every morning as I am impatient to see what lovely marks the earth is working on it. I have set a time frame for when the first daffodils bloom in my yard to dig it up from under my stately oak tree. I first thought I would bury my journal cover but I am convinced the squirrels will make off with it. Lol. Hoping you will share your buried book results.
Now I have an image in my head of a squirrel perched on a branch reading your journal 😁❤️
❤ TFS, I admire Marion's channel as well.
Love listening to your wonderful stories!
Thank you Cathie 😊
Lovely 😊
I have always been the same way about not remembering my own age and having to calculate it.. until this year. My uncle texted me a Happy Birthday and called me Double Nickels! I love it! Now I am determined to make it stick so I can be forever 55! 😂
Love it 😂 I will be 59 in June and I think I will stop counting after that 😉♥️
Me again! I love the new name “chicken stitch”! As a Portuguese person, stab stitch always felt like too violent 😂
Yes! The image of a chicken gently pecking is much nicer 😂❤️
I like the notion of talking and listening at the same time that you mentioned. It deserves a new compound word all to itself.

Hi K3N. I’ve just finished my 9 patch on YOU TUBE. I shall upload it soon and as always give you the inspiration mention. Even though I did a nine patch, I kind of adjusted it to my own agenda. lol. You however were my prompt inspiration! I thank you very much. Love your videos. 💕💕💕vicki
Thank you looking forward to seeing it ❤️
Dear! You need to write a book with all your stories. It may be the way to tell them; the images they convey are lovely, fun and I really enjoy ❤ thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences ❤
Thank you others have suggested writing a book. These videos are kind of like an audio book aren't they? 😁❤️
Love the long form vids. I will also have it on as I stitch, looking up from time to time, then rewatch when I have time, look for what I want. Thanks for sharing with us what has been an enjoyable morning . 🫶🏼🇦🇺🦘🌸
Yay, thank you! ☺️
Your nine piece poem! Love love love👏👏👏👏 absolutely hat tip to you k3n for your dedication to the commitment you made to show up 'for us' every week! I know we would all support you taking a week off to rest, esp around the time of an exhibition! I can't wait to see your 'wooded' work but I'm getting ahead of myself. Your 9 patch is already stunning already pre seed stitch!
I too was blown away to see Marion grow a tree out of her tangle- superb!
Best regards from NZ where appleeeeque is also the official pronunciation 😂
Happy exhibition piece creating and I hope your daughter finds your precious rusty bundle!
Thank you so much 😊 I plan to record two Mondays in advance to cover my trip so hopefully that will go ok. And thank you for your thoughtfulness too ❤️
@@k3n.clothtales 👌❤
I was clapping you effort before you finished reading the words, very clever.
Thank you 😁❤️
I truly appreciate your comments on slow stitching. I'm pretty new to it and when I share my pieces with friends they often ask what slow stitching is. I tell them what I think, but am not too sure if I'm giving an accurate answer.❤
Thank you, the key part for me is focusing on the process. Difficult for some people to understand they often ask 'what's it for?' 😁❤️
Brilliant ❤ xx
Love this little piece and thank you for your time. Looking forward to onion dyeing, there wasn’t much at the grocery store this morning ☹️ maybe someone beat me to it! Hope you can record your upcoming exhibition. I don’t know how you do it all, do you ever sleep 😴
I don't sleep much these days 😂♥️
Great video Kathryn. Not long finished watching it. Your book is going to be so fat and squishy by another 9 months have passed! Thanks for the shout out about my thread end tree.... I didn't particularly think it was that different, but I have had people coming across to have a look at it! :)
Also I love poetry too but hadn't heard of grid poems at all. I'll be going to have a look promptly...
I'll have to pick your brains about putting a circular paper book together as it's something I haven't done before. It won't be until the end of the year though. Happy stitching...
Thank you Marion, well done for getting through it, it was a bit long 😂 your book idea sounds interesting. Look forward to hearing more. ❤️❤️❤️
Loved your story Kathryn about your granddad! It made me think of my grandpa, and I only had one set of grandparents on my mother's side that were living when I was born. Anyway, If any of us kids would ask " where's grandma or mom" his only reply would be "she went to sh*t and the hogs ate her"... I'm 62 now, and I've never heard anyone else say that phrase. I don't know where it came from! and he wasn't any kind of farmer. 😁
Oh that's funny 🤣
Ha ha! My (English) dad was a stickler for table manners too. We were gently poked with a fork if our elbows stayed to the table top, and we had to ask to be excused when our plates were clean.
The new cloth is a perfect contrast to show off your work, I like it much better than the old one. Oh my, I did the same to my cheek yesterday as well, of course once you do that it’s hard not to bite it again.
Yes, it's finally settled down. Thank you for the input on the cloth, I think it's a keeper. 😊
I have just discovered your site and have thoroughly enjoyed your stories Catherine. Also love how you use recycled materials ❤
Thank you Faye and welcome 🤗
I can remember being part of an attic club with neighbours. They had a fantastic walk in attic that we would explore and play with Victorian toys. We had membership cards and rules.
Kids clubs are great, I hope kids still do that 😉❤️
❤ I love your videos. And 9 words. Great start to my week.
My hubby, John, is a poet and ghost writer. I rewound you a bit and got him to listen to what you said about the grid or 9 patch poem. I’m sure he will come back with his own musings very soon.
Yes, Aussies wear jumpers. Aussies also have wadding. A lot of Aussie sayings and stories are the same as yours, I’ve always heard, and probably said myself, the reply about seeing a man about a dog, or going there and back to see how far it is. As for undergarments here in OZ, boys wear jocks and girls wear nickers.
I haven’t been making all your weekly projects, just one or two here and there. A friend and I did some jelly printing on worn white sheet pieces a few weeks ago, and when we held them up we saw the jewel tones shine in the light. I then said to my friend we should make a Pojagi curtain and she said what is that? Well I had to find all the links and share with her. Having said that, I still haven’t started. One day when life is not whizzing by so fast.
Stashes. We went for a little hour and a half drive today to pick up a large tub of knitting looms. (My 10 yr old home schooled sewing student has decided she’d like to learn to knit herself a jumper for Winter, she has just last week put the last stitch in her first quilt top. Next week we will sandwich it). We arrived at the destination and proceeded to have to car filled to the roof with so much yarn, fabric etc etc. The lady I thought I was meeting was in fact recently deceased, and it was her husband. He then asked if I could please help him pack his wife’s clothes as well and find a home for them. He was having trouble doing it and her sister and friends said they just couldn’t. Anyway, now my stashes that was more than sufficient has yet again grown. Oh dear.
Cheers😘
Will be interested to hear your husband's musings. So lovely of you to help that poor man with his wife's things. And your home schooler sounds delightful ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been chuckling along with you as I remember collecting rose petals quite often. My best friend and I always thought it would make a lovely fragrance, it really didn’t!! I also used to take the middles from felt tip pens, put them into jars of water and dye all my doll clothes. Mum was not impressed!
Looking forward to making a little nine patch x
Now see that is ingenuity, dyeing with felt tips 😂❤️
i LOVE your 9-patch poem!!
Awww thank you Kate ❤️ I was secretly quite proud of it 😂
Thank you for talking about Claire Wellsly Smith. I found her website and blog, and will be reading up! I giggle about all the new words I learn here. This week, it was "wittering"🙃 and you brought back memories talking about your 2 member club. For us, it was a 3 member stamp club that met in a hayloft. But I don't remember it lasting very long because we were [not] allowed to play up there much (as I remember). And even though you rant on about neat and precise slow stitch as acceptable, I am sure glad you do wonky, 'cause I am as about slapdash as it gets! When you talked about things your auntie, mum, and pop would say, it reminded me of the little notebook of sayings of my father I created the first months after he passed away. I am not binding my journal until all the pages are created. The first signature is the first 8 weeks, and this week is the first page of the 2nd signature. I estimated the spine will be about 6 inches wide. Then you had to talk about pages for journaling, so I will be slipping in some of those now, too!🙃 I am still stitching the cover and decided to add circles made using different techniques from the weekly pages. I truly enjoy these weekly videos🌷🌷🌷
Lovely idea to make a notebook of your father's sayings. Your journal is going to be fabulous ♥️
I had a light bulb moment when you were explaining how free motion quilting is actually mindful stitching. That’s exactly how I feel when doing FM quilting. I’m not great at it, but I enjoy it so much. When I discovered slow stitching it gave me the same kind of joy. Thank you so much for your “wittering on.”
My pleasure 😊
Очень красиво подобраны квадраты расцветкой ,красиво❤❤❤.Смотрю вас постоянно
I did buy the Clover Ap pleeeee Kay pins thanks to you. I love them,, and didn't know there was such a thing.
Yeayyy glad you like them 😊
I use my phone to enlarge which is fine✅
I love your story telling...laughed so hard😆🇺🇸
Thank you Lisa 😊
I'm loving your idle banter ❤ . Your slow stitch journal is brilliant! Greetings from the East Texas Piney Woods 🤠👋
Thank you and hello 🤗
Your green table cloth is working well
Thank you for that good to hear ☺️
Great poem!!!!
I loved sooty and sweet wizzy wizzy let's get busy lol that is a blast from the past xx
Hadn't thought of it in years until wittering here.. 😁♥️
I used to love watching sooty and sweep. All the way from NZ
How I love your sharing of knowledge, stories, sayings and wittering, I can really relate. Enjoyed the long video, I always think it’s like having a coffee with a friend. I would love to attend your exhibition if I can get there, that would be amazing
Oh yes it would be lovely to meet you ☺️
I’m now on number 8 but looking at 9 and having a great lazy day thank you I’m learning so many new things. Trying hard to catch up with you, I can’t show any of my work as I can’t dont get into your group to post . I think it might be because my iPad is to old. 🌟
Hello, I am so sorry, you should be able to get in, someone else has reported trouble as well, can you message me on Facebook and I will try to let you in? facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009438778201
Perfectly charming ,and hypnotised by your voice and tales …. Am inspired to stitch new ideas….surprised by colours but so enjoyable.!
