We all love you and tune in to watch you and your crafting and losing your mojo with crafting and ups and downs of life are all part of that. You cheer us all up and I just love your company. Sending love and hugs😘🎄
Bell I couldn't agree more with you. Please know that Jeanette and yourself give us viewers so much pleasure to watch and try to interact with through comments. Yes life can be emotionally hard at times and that's life but the pleasure we get watching you is "our" escapism from our difficult times. We are all in this boat together and we all lose our mojo as you say. We all love you and this is a safe place for many. Xx
Don’t be hard on yourself, your chit chat is real life & reflects the way lots of people feel at this time of year. It’s nice not to think that you are not the only one feeling in a funk. The crafting is a bonus, most people just enjoy having someone relatable to spend time with whilst crafting themselves . Life isn’t always a bed of roses 😊
Oh Jeanette I just want to give you a big hug. I’ll be honest with you I don’t come on to your vlogs for wall to wall cheeriness I come on to spend time with you. I’m only watching three or four vlogmases and yours is right up there! Doesn’t matter what you’re doing or how you feel, you’re just you. You’ve had ups and downs this year so just be kind to yourself as much as you can. Sending you lots of love xx
Don't beat yourself up Jeanette, we watch you for you as the lovely person you are. You keep everything real, life has its downs at times so we all understand. Your crafting will still be there when you feel like picking it up again. Take care of yourself 💐
None of you wonderful girls.....yes you are girls to me......seem to realise how valuable you are to us as a community, a crafting community, friends though we have never met nor are we likely to meet. We have so much in common, likes, dislikes, old skills and new skills, highs and lows in life and family, good days and bad days with our health and so much more. Thank you for your time, effort and care....this comes with a huge hug and another "Thank You". xxx
Dear Jeanette, thanks for your honesty, same here....lost my mom Christmas eve 2017, total shock, this time of year can be the most difficult. You make it brighter, just being normal, crafting or no crafting. I wish I could reach into the screen and give you a hug. Xx
Don't be so hard on yourself, life is life and it happens to us all. I'm not feeling the Christmas vibe this year and I have no idea why. I love your company, sending love to you & your family. xx
Don't apologize, we are here to watch your crafts, and to hear about your life. I think most of us already saw you are struggling. Belinda yesterday telling us about her father passing on the 21st of December, and today you tell about your mothers passing on that same date... In Dutch we say "gedeelde smart is halve smart" which translates to "shared sorrow is half sorrow", meaning that when you share your sad moments, it allows people to comfort you, and that softens your pain and grieve a little bit 💜. Sending you love and hugs!
Love your Vlogs and podcasts Jeanette, enjoy them so much. You are not a downer, it’s life to how you are feeling. I’m sure your crafting mojo will return, sounds a good idea to start the crochet shawl. Take care 💐🎄
Oh Dear Jeanette don’t worry we all have downs. We just so so enjoy your time with us. Our family too, has had a very hard year and like you I’m having to make myself keep the holiday spirit. It’s not unusual to have these downs now and then and it helps others to see that they are not alone. Keep pushing on. You’re doing great.
Jeanette it’s not been a rubbish vlogmas. You are the first one I watch every day and I have a lot to watch! Don’t forget you have been ill aswell. Lots of love xx
Dear Jeanette. It's not a rubbish vlogmas. Please- if you feel like it carry on. You are doing such a wonderful job. And when crochet and knitting call you again then you will do it. Just don't worry - it's so good to just talk about what worries you. Sending you lots of hugs❤❤
Hello Jeanette, please allow yourself time to wotk everything out and rest You have a fantastic support network in all us lot I lost my husband six years ago and still miss him terribly every day, but I also talj to him every day We all get times when we lose our mojo Rest and forget about crafting for how ever long you need .Take care❤
When "things" are getting me down, whether it's at the holidays or just anytime, doing a random act of kindness brings me right out of it. Especially when you see or get relayed back that the recipient was overjoyed and truly blessed. It never is anything very grand, but it seems that the person who receives the item thinks it's grand---and that's the point. You are, seemingly, a very good natured person and it goes against your nature to be down, find something joyous and hang on to it because there are those you many not be aware of who need you and you need them as well. We are all part of a great big family and we need each other in one way or another. As far as the who Toft thing goes, if you are not into the ornaments or whatever that you received, gift them to someone who may not have any ornaments at all. Love you and your channel. By the way you are sounding alot better as far as your asthma is concerned, Have a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!
I love your vlogs, whether you craft or just chat. Today we marked 3 years since we lost our beautiful daughter. She was only 35. Miss her so much. Love is endless and so is grief. Time does not heal but we just learn to live without her. Your mojo will return after Christmas, just go with the flow till then. All the best xxx
I can totally relate and understand how you are feeling, I lost my granddaughter in nov 22 only 15months old totally unexpected … I remember that Christmas being so sad without our baby girl and Christmas is not the same … I really think you should do what you feel is the best as far as vlogmas go’s , yes everyone loves to hear from you but you should do what makes you feel better xxx
Enjoy your vlogs all of them. Even if just chatting! Everyone needs a break from crafting from time to time. I love your lovely yarns you are getting in your advents. That little mushroom house is adorable! Your nails are lovely!!❤❤❤😊
Hi Jeanette please don't gave up I really enjoy watching you and we all get are ups and downs and that's apart of life your such a lovely down to earth person so keep your heart up you'll get there ❤️ ❤❤
Awe hen sending you a big squeezy hug wish I could come done there and give you a real one 🤗 I think as we all get older this time of the year brings back so many memories good and bad !! Your a lovely person and I so enjoy watching you warts and all 😊 that's real life. Take care Jeanette your doing the right thing by talking about it so many people put a face on things and just end up unwell. ❤
New subscriber here 🤗Yes, we watch podcasts for entertainment, but we watch specific channels because we are interested in the person/people. There are hundreds of knitting, crafting channels we could watch. We choose to watch your channel because of you, whether ypu are crafting or not 😊. I hope you find something to spark a little Christmas joy ❤. Get your nail polish changed every day if that is what it takes💅
Loving your vlogmas and the honesty is perfect and just what I need. I have lost my Jo full stop, crochet, knitting, sewing, even housework has all gone out the window. Please keep vlogging
Hi Jeanette I do think the weather doesn’t help with it being so damp and gloomy. If you have the luna lap in books the clothes do fit all the animals xx
Hi Jeanette, I just love watching your videos, none of them are rubbish, it’s life and we all have our off days, you always make me smile 🤩 sending you a big hug and thank you 😘😘😘👍
Dearest Jeanette, I hear you and feel your pain and sadness as I too am on the same pathway as you ( without going into detail 😢) . At this time of the year I turn into The Grinch and get very run down and always feel guilty when others around me seem to find so much joy in Christmas however you are absolutely 100% right to appreciate that it’s not necessarily like that for a lot of people for one reason or another, I admire your honesty on camera and it’s great that you acknowledge what’s probably going on within yourself so just be kind to yourself, start and stop whatever you feel like and whenever you have the energy. Sending a virtual hug xx
Jeanette thank you for your video to night it’s 13 years to day my husband died and I was feeling very low crying all day so thank you for your chat mend my day please keep going if only for me xx
Sometimes we just need to step back from stuff we do all the time, doesn’t mean you don’t still have that passion, just need to step back, whatever you do, do it for you not for RUclips, it’s in the name, all about You, sending hugs and hope you find some sparkle soon xx
Hi Jeanette. Thank you for today’s podcast. Please don’t feel it’s anything like miserable. I watch quite a few podcasts and enjoy vlogmas etc. several podcasters seem to be struggling and try to be upbeat. I follow knit together with Kim and Jonna and Kim is struggling just now. She broke down in tears but held it together a few days ago. Sometimes it actually helps me and probably others too, to know life isn’t a bed of roses. For me, you’re lovely company. I wish I could tell all of you who I watch just how much I appreciate you all. The only downside to watching podcasts is that I want to make all the things and buy too much 😂 I’m currently working on a cowl for a surprise for a friend and then I’m hoping to make another for a friend who has had a rotten year. It says a rude 💩 word on it but she uses that word to describe her life and I’m hoping it will make her laugh. I work part time and care for my poorly hubby. How did I ever find time to work full time! I hope you chest is improving and your mojo is wrapped up with a bow on top, under your Christmas tree 🎄 😂
Big hugs Jeanette. I miss my son and of course other family members who have passed, but missing my son is hardest. We try to find the joy and magic and remembering happy memories. I much prefer vlogs that are just how the days unfold ….happy and sad things all together as they are. I find vlogs where everything is perfection a bit overwhelming. You are always brilliant company and are one of the first I look for each Vlogmas day. Love, Karen x
Jeannette your vlogmas has been fine. I can sympathize with you. I've been in a funk for a few months now...I haven't picked up my crochet hook in months. I hope I am out of the funk at the start of the new year. I am so glad you are feeling better health wise.
Much hugs. I lost my mum early 2018. So it gets hard at times around her favorite holidays, she loved Christmas and advent. We all get like this at some point around the holidays. I found giving myself a few craft free days helps, even though I then complain about the time I lost, though actually I didn't because I can steam ahead if need be. My children keep telling me they love my Christmas gifts any time of the year. So I do the grandchildren first now.
I don’t like Christmas because I lost my gramma. My friend died on Sunday aged 58 from cancer. Last Christmas she lost her mum. The Christmas before she lost her dad…. You are not alone! You are not miserable, you are honest! Also we can relate! There is nothing more I dislike than fake! I did disagree with Belinda on one part…. It is NOT easy to reach out when you are low. Your nails are the same as mine 💕💕💕. Stay true Jeanette! That’s why we follow you and have done for years - I’ll send you a private message in the morning xxx
My Eric has a yellow duffle coat and yellow wellie boots , I got the kit and he looks grand I also gave him glasses cause he kept falling of the shelf lol 😂😂😂xx
Think we all get Debbie Downers sometimes, didn't realize what that meant until my son called me it, he showed me the program where he got it from it is funny but i could see myself in it, so that made me think i have to get out of this mood. So i don't think you are on your own and i always think sometimes its good to talk about how we feel as like you said not everyone is happy and joyful this time of year, but that's ok we are all different. I have pulled back my crochet 3 times today not feeling the love so back in the draw for now. hope you feel better tommorow.
❤❤love ur chats anytime,, anyhow,,,, Crafting seems not so relaxed right now ,,for some reason,,, Love it to be calm,,,,🎉🎉 And if things are abit off at any time,,,,i feel unsettled,,,, Know how you feel,, Not a downer at all,, Love the sweet gifts,,, What is the crochet shawl,,, Jeanette??looks so cozy,,,, ELAINE 🏡💕
Oh Jeannette. I really sympathise with you. I lost my lovely Mum on New Years Eve 1999…Millenium. She was in hospital all over Christmas and since then I really do not feel the Christmas Spirit. You would think after so many years it would get better, but the horrid memories stay with you. Take care of yourself and don’t worry about talking about it…it’s good to talk x
Lovely just to see you and catch up, we all have down days, I’ve been feeling sorry for myself the last few days on my videos with pain etc but it’s normal life isn’t it - real life, you’ve been really poorly and really really busy. Erik has his own clothes as he’s bigger than the others. I was thinking a Luna character might help you recover your mojo I want to make the otter. Did you get the Christmas box? Xxx
Personally, sounds like some burnout and I think you should just stop tour crafting for a couple days, longer if you need to. Stope setting all these things to do, it’s overwhelming with all going on.. Vlog if you like, I personally am not disappointed if you don’t finish a million projects! Lol. Relax, you’ve not felt well, you aren’t done with recovery, take care, slow down, stop starting new stuff because when you do and then can’t continue, you are getting bummed out. ❤❤
Jeanette, even when you're down, you're still a ray of sunshine!
We all love you and tune in to watch you and your crafting and losing your mojo with crafting and ups and downs of life are all part of that. You cheer us all up and I just love your company. Sending love and hugs😘🎄

No apologies needed. I pop in for a chat, news good and bad, and to see you, (I hope) just like a neighbour from 5000+miles away. Thanks. Jane xx

No I missed it. I was so cross with myself as I set an alarm and couldn’t remember why but it wax for the box😥🤷♀️
