I don’t know what it is. I’ve been filmmaking for over 30 years and somehow your videos put me at peace in a way that I just can’t explain.

Just thought you should know how you are affecting your viewers.
Vivien Leigh (pronounced Lee) was the main actress in Gone With The Wind. She played Scarlet O'Hara to Clark Gable's Rhett Butler. She was magnificent in that role and many others.

Honey don’t ever wish to rush your life! Old age will come so fast you will look back and think to yourself what the hell happened and how did I get here so fast. I’m 65 and it seems like yesterday that I was your age. If I had it to do all over again I would take the opposite path than what I chose many times. I regret not standing up for myself and letting a man determine what I did. I only was trying to protect my children from possibly going hungry or anything bad that could have happened. Live your life to the fullest dear and have courage (unlike me) I’ve learned now I should have loved myself as much as I loved my children. I just wanted to give you insight from an older woman whose life passed her by so fast she wishes she could go back and change many things that I was too afraid to do. Have fun, love deeply and demand that you are loved just as much. Peace and blessings to you 🕊️❤
Yes, 60 comes up quick! But, as a grandma, I can say that grandkids are about the best thing ever! The idea of sitting on a porch in my rocking chair, knitting, with my grandchildren around me is a lovely one.
Awh, now 65 is the new 50 =). Plenty of time for adventure. I'm close to your age and my 102 year old grandmother teases me about how she still cuts her lawn and no one can stop her =) . Thanks for sharing!
The sacrifice made for one's family makes such a great difference in thier lives. I believe that it is THAT SACRIFICE that holds society together and if the shift away from that continues it will have a chain reaction of consequences that will literally lead to the downfall of our civilization and greatness. What you did in my opinion is the most respectable honorable praise worthy act of the highest importance. You should at minimum be VERY proud of the strength necessary to do that and for the VALUE it truly is for EVERYONE! THIS action should be looked up to as the highest achievement ....and respect given to the highest degree. I don't know if you believe in an afterlife or not but i think you will not regret your decisions during final review 😊
Sleep is so important and needs to be prioritized!! It’s also kind of fun to wake up without an alarm (if you don’t need one) to see what your body’s natural rhythm is.
“I feel like everything that is hard…is good” - Isabelle .. couldn’t agree more. The challenge of pushing ourselves leads to greater good. You have to get comfortable with being UNcomfortable. Love you and all your wisdom, Issy ❤❤
I found your channel last year a month after my beloved soulmate passed suddenly and unexpectedly from this world. You are such a delight to watch. I am so grateful for your presence in this world and the life you live. Plus I just downloaded allllll of Logan’s music. Such talent! Wow. You two are simply gorgeous human beings! Yay. 🪶🐾🪶
You and Logan are so young and beautiful and it's such an iconic time in life. All that ails you, all that plagues your mind is sheened by youth and curiosity. You're brilliant, always be exactly who you are. It's unique and inspiring and empowering. I'm 48 years young and look forward to your fresh perspective all the time, Isa.... 💜💜
@@pedroroque829 you can have that if you want to, she just worked really hard for years building her RUclips channel! There's plenty of wealth to go around, just find what you're good at and run with it!
@@VioletBloom She got help from her parents. Her house in the mountains was bought by her parents. But yes im trying to work on something related to animals, like conservation. But I don't how much money will I have and if I can live like her.
I’m so grateful that you are making a video every day, it is such a moment of peace and delight following what you are up to every day. It really doesn’t have to be crazy and spectacular, I’m more in awe of your bright and peaceful spirit (you, Logan and your family!) We need more content like yours in the world ❤️❤️❤️
My grandma attends a weekly knitting circle that is called "stitch n bitch"😆 A bunch of old ladies sitting in a circle and talking about the latest gossip. It's the cutest thing ever
Throwing fish around in that style reminds me of being in the fish markets in Sicily. In Sicily the fish markets are very vibrant and always throwing fish around while yelling.
Same. I may be a grandma 7 times, but I did all the grandma things years ago and still do. My grandma taught me to knit and embroider when I was about 10.
I was born in Spokane, WA and then moved to Alaska, and then to Seattle, then to Maui and back to Seattle and back to Spokane to finally settle in New York. Your videos bring me such peace. I get to see the combo of Seattle and then the mountains and pines that I miss so much. Thank you for your content, it's so uplifting, honest, raw and positive all wrapped up into one. Your munchies at the end gave me a good chuckle.
It’s really fun watching you & Logan in a new & very different environment - a change is as good as a rest and there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a few more home comforts wherever you are! Enjoy and keep following your whims ❤
This might be one of my favorite videos of yours so far. love all the honest moments in this and the real talk. so good. and logan's answer at the end is the best.
because of you, i moved to a cabin in the mountains and i'm pursuing a more simple life. thank you for the inspiration, and i'm so impressed by the daily posting!
I really do hope when you're a grandma, you're still making videos and we're all still watching and learning from you how to sew clothes for grandchildren
This trip is good for you. There is a lightness in your spirit that I haven’t seen. I smiled throughout this entire video - thank you! Oh, and the pee story was a LOL 😂😂😂
Oh my gosh Isabel..you are in the knitting mecca of the west coast! Go to any yarn shop there and they will be able to direct you to a group. A lot of yarn shops have their own groups that meet up too. I can't wait to see what you make!!
Vivian Leigh and Rita Hayworth. Both gems i watched of bunch of movies with them, they were really special back in the 40´s just before the magical Monroe showed up.
It's so amazing to see how you can be in a city or in the mountains AND STILL give peace through your videos, it was soooo good to see the city too, and Black, we neeeeed more Black content :3
I loved seeing your escapades around Seattle. I have so many good memories living in Seattle and going to school and falling in love with my now husband there.
Isabel , you could add a bathroom to your tiny home. Toilet waste can be plumbed out to a holding tank behind bathroom. Bath tub with a wood stove heating your water, draining to holding tank. You can get tank at (Tractor Supply Store) - Big fiberglass (YELLOW) tank. Heating tub water ( watch RUclipsrs [Jake & Nicolle] ) live off grid. They have a HOT TUB heated by a outside wood stove. Watch the episodes of them operating the heating of HOT TUB. Same concept for your indoor BATHROOM TUB,but on a smaller scale. Show your Dad and see if he could come up with a similar concept on smaller scale. Isabel you can have off grid living with a few city home conveniences. A small balance. You will extremely appreciate a bathroom attached to tiny home,that could be put between tiny home and studio building. Win-win. Just a suggestion from a fan of you and Logan. Things in life are always possible, our brains are the driving force to succeed. I enjoy your videos and hope my suggestions help ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS. It takes a village to make life work for everyone.
Black is so sweet & his meow just speaks to you. Love fur babies. I knit, crochet, sew, embroider, I love the intimacy of being able to create. I'm sure your sister will cherish your thoughtful gift. 🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🌲🎄🌲🎄
Good morning and happy Vlogmas! I look foward to each morning with you and are so grateful how you show up! The Brownies looked amazing as do all your amazing creations! You inspire, envelope and invoke such pure human spirit! Thank you for embracing the Old lady in you she is so beautiful and she is The Crone in you. I am a crone and still feel the magic of youth, but feel as you, knitting sewing, cooking wholesome meals from the food you harvest is old school in nature, and one of the few traditions left in our culture. My mom made bread from scratch and I have learned herbology and feel we must nurture and culture these things Women have done for maybe millions of years. You have an old soul with a youthful heart and inspire the Goddess in us all! Thank you Isabel, you remind me of the simple things being so beautiful . P.S. Being a Grandmother is the most amazing and wonderful experience on this Earth!
Hey Isabel, thank you so much for working each day to share your December with us! So happy that you get to spend the winter with your family, and that you finally have the opportunity to take a little break from the farm/homestead life. It can be a lot. Don’t feel bad for resting - rest is a sacred action, and all of our ancestors would have been doing the same now that the harvest season has fully come to a close. Winter is all about retreating inwards, restoration, and dreaming in the seeds that will we will sow for the coming year. Remember to enjoy the process! And take as many rest days / days off filming as you need. Many blessings to you and those on this channel 🙏❄️💛
Isabel, I don't think there is any word to describe you than "delightful". I guess I could add refreshing and of course naturally "earthy". Just thanks for being YOU!❄❄🎄💝
Don't wish your life away. Enjoy your youth while you have it. Every stage of life has something wonderful to offer but don't rush the stages. Those brownies looked delicious. I used to embroider when I was young. It is a very relaxing hobby. I also used to knit and loved that too. Who knows, maybe I will take them up again.
Truth! Every decade has its own set of problems, opportunities, insights... The journey can be as fantastic as you make it, and I know you'll make it a great one!
I am glad you are enjoying being *old*. But really enjoy being young first. So when you get to be my age (73) you'll have fond memories to look back on. Both you and Logan, enjoy the moment and the time you are in for there are no do overs in life. Really! just new adventures.
Its so nice to see you every day. And its funny, to see you in shops, restaurants,… and not in the forest or mountains😄 I‘m a knitter and I want to tell you, there are lots of knitting podcasts here on RUclips, where you can find a lot of inspiration for knitting things. I have my own knitting channel, but it is in german🤗 Love from Switzerland❤
Ahhh, Seattle, my old hometown. You make me so wistful, recalling how deeply rooted I was there, before unavoidable family issues took me away from there. I've been living in exile in coastal Alabama since 2017, which is the absolute polar opposite of the Pacific Northwest, in every way imaginable. Logan, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. You guys, I absolutely LOVE your videos. Your story telling is always a warm dose of sanity and calm, and your film making skills are deeply inspiring. Keep it coming! Maybe someday I'll get back there, and say hi to you at the Pike Place Market. I lived two blocks south of there for years, and I miss it so much.
@@juanitacarrollyoung2979 Thanks, me too. I build acoustic guitars for a living, and had a workshop on the western fringe of the University District for twelve years. I've been nurturing this fantasy of putting a nice guitar in Logan's hands, and watching him and Isabel draw a big crowd at the Market, busking their musical collaborations. Logan is a pure genius musician. Something to dream on!
Thank you so much. They never cease to uplift me. Even when I go back and watch the old ones over again. Please keep posting these videos. They bring such peace and joy to so many of us. A touch of true peace and joy.
Lol black is so cute 🐈⬛ talking with you 💕 love that city , really old school and unique. I agree December is a trip …. Everyone is way nicer to each other lol ….. those brownies tho !! 😮yummmmm 😋
Before baby I was waking up at 4 to do yoga before the start of the day.. now I'm up every 3 hours during the night really really miss having a good nights sleep lol
I love that you're so keen on exploring various crafts like sewing and embroidering! I love knitting and have been getting better with crocheting, it's a very rewarding hobby :D
Isabel: We're going down to this little market by the water Me: PUBLIC Market?! (Not little, I know🤣) Ha! I was wondering if you'd gone to Pike Place Fish. ❤️ the city. The first time I saw Rainier I was speechless .. awestruck. Beautiful WA state🙏🏽 Stay warm.
Dear Isabel, thank you so much for sharing honest moments of your life! It really makes me feel ok about my one life and motivated to keep going - to see the best in the hardest times🌻
The daily vlogs are precious. I appreciate the little snippets of your family and life. Btw, Logan is so handsome. You two are an adorable looking couple. He’s a great partner and so are you. Thanks for sharing ❤
Hi Isabel, you needed your sleep yesterday and your body let you know. Glad you took the time to take care of yourself, we can be patient and wait. For a swimsuit like that just search vintage women's two piece swimsuit. All kinds of really nice suits that would look great on you. So glad you and Logan are enjoying your deserts. They look delicious!
In Carnation WA, there's Tolt Yarn & Wool that offers knitting classes, and circles. In the summertime they offer them weekly in the evenings at our local park by campfire. Each person just brings what they are working on, a beverage, and enjoy the campfire and company.
Love the 40's bathing suits! I have 2. One from Amazon the other from Retro Stage. Sorry..the cat licking things in the kitchen is sending me. Thanks for sharing!
Oh I love how you did the little clip of yous recording each other. Honestly so cute. Thank you for always keeping me calm.. after my 9-5 hustle in Sydney... love you bell.. 🌹
Thank you for sharing a more behind the scenes post! RUclips and IG force us to remind ourselves that life is curated for those platforms, even if the creators aren't trying to create this idyllic version. This kidn of BTS video shows that even people who show the ups and downs still live life just like the rest of us: waking up in the morning and struggling not to turn off the alarm haha.
I like how Logan is always present. In his way. Sometimes off camera. I'm a Logan fan. Calm cool. Precise comments and insights. Fantastic tunes when he publishes them to us. Man, Logan would be an awesome bud. Any way to find out about White? Was there an update on White in another video I missed, I guess.
You should look into an outdoor wood burning furnace to heat water for bathing. My aunt has one that heats water for her whole house. Endless hot water.
Black is so pretty. Keep him close always. Your desert is so nice. French ovens make baking extra fun. I've wanted to embroider in future. My grandmother made me do it as young child. Seems relaxing now indeed. Keep working.
Oh I totally understand you ! Me too I love getting older ! People who are afraid of that don't appreciate the real beauty of life: knowlege and experience. And with these two paths allows us to give more than when we are young!!
You will have to evaluate how it feels to go home to the tiny house. Some of the hard things are good, like an outside fire to cook bread. But being with people in knitting circles is also good. Sometimes I wonder if you and Logan have thought out where you want to live out your life? Are you on your parents land because it's free or you love that region and way of life? Would you like a life that was more country than city, but had hot baths in it? That had stores closer in it, that had your vehicle in the driveway all winter in it? You are making money, have you ever thought of moving your tiny to someplace closer to civilization for a change. Making other films? Your young, this is the time. When kids come the routine is needed, baths are needed. It's wonderful to have kids when your a bit younger,be a younger nana as well. Thoughts xo
Loved your reaction to the great beloved Vivien Leigh! She was a classic beauty in Hollywood. If you ever want to watch a super old vintage movie Gone with the Wind is an amazing movie that still holds it’s timeless value in cinema. The costumes are so worth the watch too. I named my daughter after the character Katie Scarlett O’Hara. It’s so cool you’re finding fun things to do in the city. Washington really is a neat state. Knitting and cross stitching is a great skill to learn especially in the winter. I remember when I was younger feeling that same way about getting older and grandkids. Lol such an old soul Isabel, love it. Course when you get to my age 47 you start wondering now how many years do I have left on this wonderful earth. It is a true blessing the wisdom and clarity that comes with getting older especially on what the true importance in life, really is. Family time, nature walks for peace and growing a garden for a true feeling of accomplishment and abundance in nourishing our bodies. ❤️❤️❤️😊
There are lots of people who knit!! I think it's come full circle and people appreciate the ability to knit things they want. I knit wool socks for my friends and family, and will last for years and also feel wonderful. I hope you find a circle.😉❤️
its ok to want an indoor toilet, and things that make you cimfortable and not ruin the planet....its a tricky balance, but its ok. You and Logan are just too cute together, love that you got hi to try yoga so early in the morning. Just love your videos.
Lol, the knitting community is massive! If you find nothing local, there are virtual knit nights..you DO make me smile! Ravelry would be a good place to start, but be careful, it’s addicting! Personally I take knitting everywhere I go, esp hospital appointments..it kills time and is soothing. I hope you and your family have a very merry Christmas..
You and Logan eat whatever you want! Life is too short! Trust me, what you’re eating is a lot more healthier than what I’m eating out here! Praying that you and your family (Logan included) have a safe and happy vacation!
I appreciate your tactile sensitivities and aesthetic. It is evident through your choice of fabulous fabrics (which would not be noticeable viewed in lower resolutions). When I was a boy walking through the various clothing shops with my mother, I found it irresistible to put my arms and hands out to run my fingers hands and forearms through the racks of clothes as a walked by. The variety of textures appealed to me in some strong way. Who doesn't want to step into the full racks and wrap up and hide inside a dense bundle of nice fabrics. ...so, I would. Ahhh, the whims you can get away with if you are young, or in love and smiling. Love and smiles can gain permission and leniency for several levels and manners of nonconforming playfulness even while deep within the arenas of common strictures comprised of such morose mundane formality. The components partaking necessarily in the slow soul contamination of incentivized functionality will break the lens to see clear the joy and meaning of play when invited to recognition from loving smiles. Only the very bitterest of folk can maintain the mask of economy against that type of power. BEAUTY SINCERITY INNOCENCE DEVIOUSNESS FREEDOM CONNECTION TRUTH COURAGE
Yes! People still knit and crochet, as well as sew and even macrame is making a comeback. I think they're all wonderful skills to have! I'm sitting here crocheting while I watch your videos. I'm learning how to knit..I know _how_ to do it but I'm not very experienced yet. Look up amigurumi! I think you'd love that. I also recently started doing hand embroidery and I love it! I made costumes for years so I can sew, but I never did anything by hand like that before.
YES, JOIN A KNITTING CIRCLE. I'm 30 and am such a huge knitter...nothing wrong with making at any age! 😊There are a few yarn spots I would love to check out in Washington someday (Tolt Yarn + Wool and Shop La Mercerie). Also, the knitting (and making) community online is so big (you can literally search knitting podcast in RUclips and have so many pop up). Anyways, now that I've gushed about knitting, I just wanted to say that I've really been enjoying your vlogmas! And I think the embroidered shirt will make such a beautiful gift for your sister.
Have loved and enjoyed your beautiful videos for years! Thank you🎉 Don’t usually comment , but, you were steps away from my old townhouse in Pike Place Mkt. so fun to see you running around my old stomping ground. We used to get up at 6 am everyday and take the dogs through the empty market and then get coffee! Good times- enjoy your time with your beloved parents! ❤
I'm 66 and loving life. I've always looked forward to every stsge of life ..ie 20's 30's etc. It's an amazing journey to watch oneself evolve through life! I've really enjoyed watching you grow these last couple of years! You're a old soul for sure! I'm sure your family are proud of the young women you've become! Much Aloha Titah!🤙🌈💞
I don’t understand where she’s coming from. I’m a little confused. She has a house on her property where she has modern conveniences for use. Full Bathroom, running hot water, electricity, central air/heating. Is she choosing to use the outhouse, no central heating for recreation? Is it a sustainability exercise?
I've said it before, you are so talented. I love the fact that you MAKE things and give them as gifts. I crochet and some recipients don't seem to get the fact that it takes time and allot of love goes into homemade gifts. Keep up the good work and tell your Mom I LOVE her stove. It is awesome!
LOVE you Isabel! love Black, love Logan's haircut (you did it right') OH and love Logan too! haha!!!! Beautiful brownies!thank you for sharing your simple gorgeous life with us! peace fun love xxx
Good morning Isabel. Excellent video with outstanding and superlative production values (as always) - but that's of course to be expected from a talented and strong self sufficient offgrid woman such as yourself. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful Thursday. Your videos are evocative of a poem I wrote. I hope you like it: "The Full Moon has a Sound: One thousand pianos crashing down one thousand flights of stairs under weight of Antiquity. Meanwhile the bag of yellow peppers I picked yesterday are leaning forward on the table in the moonlight - under the capsicum sum of one summer." I hope you like it.
You, Logan, & your family are all amazing. I love your videos! And I love Black! She has the sweetest, little meow. Please keep her safe & protect her from wild animals. ☺❤🙋♀️🙏
You're pretty much already living the "retired" life. You just need to make sure you put a lot of your monetization $$ into passive residual income for life so we can keep watching you until you really are an old grandma! Thanks for sharing!

Isabel , you could add a bathroom to your tiny home. Toilet waste can be plumbed out to a holding tank behind bathroom. Bath tub with a wood stove heating your water, draining to holding tank. You can get tank at (Tractor Supply Store) - Big fiberglass (YELLOW) tank. Heating tub water ( watch RUclipsrs [Jake & Nicolle] ) live off grid. They have a HOT TUB heated by a outside wood stove. Watch the episodes of them operating the heating of HOT TUB. Same concept for your indoor BATHROOM TUB,but on a smaller scale. Show your Dad and see if he could come up with a similar concept on smaller scale. Isabel you can have off grid living with a few city home conveniences. A small balance. You will extremely appreciate a bathroom attached to tiny home,that could be put between tiny home and studio building. Win-win. Just a suggestion from a fan of you and Logan. Things in life are always possible, our brains are the driving force to succeed. I enjoy your videos and hope my suggestions help ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS. It takes a village to make life work for everyone.
Black is so sweet & his meow just speaks to you. Love fur babies. I knit, crochet, sew, embroider, I love the intimacy of being able to create. I'm sure your sister will cherish your thoughtful gift. 🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🎄🌲🌲🎄🌲🎄
Good morning and happy Vlogmas! I look foward to each morning with you and are so grateful how you show up! The Brownies looked amazing as do all your amazing creations! You inspire, envelope and invoke such pure human spirit! Thank you for embracing the Old lady in you she is so beautiful and she is The Crone in you. I am a crone and still feel the magic of youth, but feel as you, knitting sewing, cooking wholesome meals from the food you harvest is old school in nature, and one of the few traditions left in our culture. My mom made bread from scratch and I have learned herbology and feel we must nurture and culture these things Women have done for maybe millions of years. You have an old soul with a youthful heart and inspire the Goddess in us all! Thank you Isabel, you remind me of the simple things being so beautiful . P.S. Being a Grandmother is the most amazing and wonderful experience on this Earth!
What a lovely comment ❤️
Hey Isabel, thank you so much for working each day to share your December with us! So happy that you get to spend the winter with your family, and that you finally have the opportunity to take a little break from the farm/homestead life. It can be a lot. Don’t feel bad for resting - rest is a sacred action, and all of our ancestors would have been doing the same now that the harvest season has fully come to a close. Winter is all about retreating inwards, restoration, and dreaming in the seeds that will we will sow for the coming year. Remember to enjoy the process! And take as many rest days / days off filming as you need. Many blessings to you and those on this channel 🙏❄️💛
I really enjoy your honesty about your life and your sharing with us. I appreciate you, I see great hope in your adventures.
Isabel, I don't think there is any word to describe you than "delightful". I guess I could add refreshing and of course naturally "earthy". Just thanks for being YOU!❄❄🎄💝
You crack me up about wanting to be old sitting in a rocker knitting! Not really what most 'older' people do! Here's to adventure regardless of age!
Don't wish your life away. Enjoy your youth while you have it. Every stage of life has something wonderful to offer but don't rush the stages. Those brownies looked delicious. I used to embroider when I was young. It is a very relaxing hobby. I also used to knit and loved that too. Who knows, maybe I will take them up again.
Truth! Every decade has its own set of problems, opportunities, insights... The journey can be as fantastic as you make it, and I know you'll make it a great one!
LOL…when you said: Santa baby - going down the chimney tonight…”that used to freak me out when I was a child” LOL! That cracked me up!
The fact that you’re doing “daily” videos right now is giving me life! Thank you!
i like Logan. He brings calm to Isabel's storm.
I am glad you are enjoying being *old*. But really enjoy being young first. So when you get to be my age (73) you'll have fond memories to look back on. Both you and Logan, enjoy the moment and the time you are in for there are no do overs in life. Really! just new adventures.
It’ so nice to see you posting so frequently. You’re going to spoil us. Love and prayers from Canada❤️🇨🇦
Its so nice to see you every day. And its funny, to see you in shops, restaurants,… and not in the forest or mountains😄 I‘m a knitter and I want to tell you, there are lots of knitting podcasts here on RUclips, where you can find a lot of inspiration for knitting things. I have my own knitting channel, but it is in german🤗 Love from Switzerland❤
Ahhh, Seattle, my old hometown. You make me so wistful, recalling how deeply rooted I was there, before unavoidable family issues took me away from there. I've been living in exile in coastal Alabama since 2017, which is the absolute polar opposite of the Pacific Northwest, in every way imaginable. Logan, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. You guys, I absolutely LOVE your videos. Your story telling is always a warm dose of sanity and calm, and your film making skills are deeply inspiring. Keep it coming! Maybe someday I'll get back there, and say hi to you at the Pike Place Market. I lived two blocks south of there for years, and I miss it so much.
I hope you make it back.
@@juanitacarrollyoung2979 Thanks, me too. I build acoustic guitars for a living, and had a workshop on the western fringe of the University District for twelve years. I've been nurturing this fantasy of putting a nice guitar in Logan's hands, and watching him and Isabel draw a big crowd at the Market, busking their musical collaborations. Logan is a pure genius musician. Something to dream on!
Thank you so much. They never cease to uplift me. Even when I go back and watch the old ones over again.
Please keep posting these videos. They bring such peace and joy to so many of us. A touch of true peace and joy.
Isabel,
I love that you are posting more, every morning I wake up I look for one of your videos, it truly brings peace to my life.
Vivian Leigh was Scarlett O’Hara in “Gone with the Wind”
Lol black is so cute 🐈⬛ talking with you 💕 love that city , really old school and unique. I agree December is a trip …. Everyone is way nicer to each other lol ….. those brownies tho !! 😮yummmmm 😋
Before baby I was waking up at 4 to do yoga before the start of the day.. now I'm up every 3 hours during the night really really miss having a good nights sleep lol
I love that you're so keen on exploring various crafts like sewing and embroidering! I love knitting and have been getting better with crocheting, it's a very rewarding hobby :D
Isabel: We're going down to this little market by the water
Me: PUBLIC Market?! (Not little, I know🤣)
Ha! I was wondering if you'd gone to Pike Place Fish. ❤️ the city. The first time I saw Rainier I was speechless .. awestruck. Beautiful WA state🙏🏽 Stay warm.
Black"s meow is the sweetest sound ever. I want her so badly. She sure likes her mealtimes...and your milk. She deserves to be spoiled. 💖💕💖
Isabel referring to Pike Place Market as a “little market by the water” 😂
Dear Isabel, thank you so much for sharing honest moments of your life! It really makes me feel ok about my one life and motivated to keep going - to see the best in the hardest times🌻
The daily vlogs are precious. I appreciate the little snippets of your family and life. Btw, Logan is so handsome. You two are an adorable looking couple. He’s a great partner and so are you.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Knitting circles are great. Check any privately owned knitting store and they usually have one.❤️
Hi Isabel, you needed your sleep yesterday and your body let you know. Glad you took the time to take care of yourself, we can be patient and wait.
For a swimsuit like that just search vintage women's two piece swimsuit. All kinds of really nice suits that would look great on you.
So glad you and Logan are enjoying your deserts. They look delicious!
In Carnation WA, there's Tolt Yarn & Wool that offers knitting classes, and circles. In the summertime they offer them weekly in the evenings at our local park by campfire. Each person just brings what they are working on, a beverage, and enjoy the campfire and company.
Love the 40's bathing suits! I have 2. One from Amazon the other from Retro Stage. Sorry..the cat licking things in the kitchen is sending me. Thanks for sharing!
Oh I love how you did the little clip of yous recording each other. Honestly so cute.
Thank you for always keeping me calm.. after my 9-5 hustle in Sydney... love you bell.. 🌹
Thank you for sharing a more behind the scenes post! RUclips and IG force us to remind ourselves that life is curated for those platforms, even if the creators aren't trying to create this idyllic version. This kidn of BTS video shows that even people who show the ups and downs still live life just like the rest of us: waking up in the morning and struggling not to turn off the alarm haha.
I like how Logan is always present. In his way. Sometimes off camera. I'm a Logan fan. Calm cool. Precise comments and insights. Fantastic tunes when he publishes them to us. Man, Logan would be an awesome bud. Any way to find out about White? Was there an update on White in another video I missed, I guess.
Trust me there is nothing good about getting older but happy to see these little works of art every day.
Just know I am knitting while watching your videos 90% of the time. Your videos are so relaxing to knit to.
Isabel definitely is such an inspiration ❤
You should look into an outdoor wood burning furnace to heat water for bathing. My aunt has one that heats water for her whole house. Endless hot water.
I'm really loving your hair. Looks fab! ✨
I have also been trying to wake up closer to 5am. It’s a struggle! But that calm, quiet and dark morning especially in a city is soo peaceful
Always a pleasure and a great vibes watching your vlog, absolutely amazing and lovely 🥰😍😍
I totally relate to having old people hobbies lol but they’re the most relaxing and creative at the same time!
I love the tshirt idea as a gift for your sister! I means a little more that you added to it 🎁
Black is so pretty. Keep him close always.
Your desert is so nice. French ovens make baking extra fun.
I've wanted to embroider in future. My grandmother made me do it as young child. Seems relaxing now indeed. Keep working.
Sometimes you never know what you have until it's gone.
wise words
Oh I totally understand you ! Me too I love getting older ! People who are afraid of that don't appreciate the real beauty of life: knowlege and experience. And with these two paths allows us to give more than when we are young!!
You will have to evaluate how it feels to go home to the tiny house. Some of the hard things are good, like an outside fire to cook bread. But being with people in knitting circles is also good. Sometimes I wonder if you and Logan have thought out where you want to live out your life? Are you on your parents land because it's free or you love that region and way of life? Would you like a life that was more country than city, but had hot baths in it? That had stores closer in it, that had your vehicle in the driveway all winter in it? You are making money, have you ever thought of moving your tiny to someplace closer to civilization for a change. Making other films? Your young, this is the time. When kids come the routine is needed, baths are needed. It's wonderful to have kids when your a bit younger,be a younger nana as well. Thoughts xo
Loved your reaction to the great beloved Vivien Leigh! She was a classic beauty in Hollywood. If you ever want to watch a super old vintage movie Gone with the Wind is an amazing movie that still holds it’s timeless value in cinema. The costumes are so worth the watch too. I named my daughter after the character Katie Scarlett O’Hara. It’s so cool you’re finding fun things to do in the city. Washington really is a neat state. Knitting and cross stitching is a great skill to learn especially in the winter. I remember when I was younger feeling that same way about getting older and grandkids. Lol such an old soul Isabel, love it. Course when you get to my age 47 you start wondering now how many years do I have left on this wonderful earth. It is a true blessing the wisdom and clarity that comes with getting older especially on what the true importance in life, really is. Family time, nature walks for peace and growing a garden for a true feeling of accomplishment and abundance in nourishing our bodies. ❤️❤️❤️😊
I’d love to see a behind the scenes of your content creation process!
There are lots of people who knit!! I think it's come full circle and people appreciate the ability to knit things they want. I knit wool socks for my friends and family, and will last for years and also feel wonderful. I hope you find a circle.😉❤️
its ok to want an indoor toilet, and things that make you cimfortable and not ruin the planet....its a tricky balance, but its ok. You and Logan are just too cute together, love that you got hi to try yoga so early in the morning. Just love your videos.
Lol, the knitting community is massive! If you find nothing local, there are virtual knit nights..you DO make me smile! Ravelry would be a good place to start, but be careful, it’s addicting! Personally I take knitting everywhere I go, esp hospital appointments..it kills time and is soothing.
I hope you and your family have a very merry Christmas..
You and Logan eat whatever you want! Life is too short! Trust me, what you’re eating is a lot more healthier than what I’m eating out here! Praying that you and your family (Logan included) have a safe and happy vacation!
I appreciate your tactile sensitivities and aesthetic. It is evident through your choice of fabulous fabrics (which would not be noticeable viewed in lower resolutions).
When I was a boy walking through the various clothing shops with my mother, I found it irresistible to put my arms and hands out to run my fingers hands and forearms through the racks of clothes as a walked by. The variety of textures appealed to me in some strong way. Who doesn't want to step into the full racks and wrap up and hide inside a dense bundle of nice fabrics. ...so, I would. Ahhh, the whims you can get away with if you are young, or in love and smiling. Love and smiles can gain permission and leniency for several levels and manners of nonconforming playfulness even while deep within the arenas of common strictures comprised of such morose mundane formality. The components partaking necessarily in the slow soul contamination of incentivized functionality will break the lens to see clear the joy and meaning of play when invited to recognition from loving smiles. Only the very bitterest of folk can maintain the mask of economy against that type of power. BEAUTY SINCERITY INNOCENCE DEVIOUSNESS FREEDOM CONNECTION TRUTH COURAGE
Yes! People still knit and crochet, as well as sew and even macrame is making a comeback. I think they're all wonderful skills to have! I'm sitting here crocheting while I watch your videos. I'm learning how to knit..I know _how_ to do it but I'm not very experienced yet. Look up amigurumi! I think you'd love that. I also recently started doing hand embroidery and I love it! I made costumes for years so I can sew, but I never did anything by hand like that before.
Isabel, you are cold because you dress as if you are living in the tropics! I love your channel. You just make me smile and that's a precious thing
YES, JOIN A KNITTING CIRCLE. I'm 30 and am such a huge knitter...nothing wrong with making at any age! 😊There are a few yarn spots I would love to check out in Washington someday (Tolt Yarn + Wool and Shop La Mercerie). Also, the knitting (and making) community online is so big (you can literally search knitting podcast in RUclips and have so many pop up). Anyways, now that I've gushed about knitting, I just wanted to say that I've really been enjoying your vlogmas! And I think the embroidered shirt will make such a beautiful gift for your sister.
Isabel: Black..
Black: Yes ma'am?..
Isabel: Would you like your breakfast?
Black: Yes, please.
Isabel: Okay..
Black: Thank youuuu! 😊❤
😂😂😅 Priceless
Have loved and enjoyed your beautiful videos for years! Thank you🎉 Don’t usually comment , but, you were steps away from my old townhouse in Pike Place Mkt. so fun to see you running around my old stomping ground. We used to get up at 6 am everyday and take the dogs through the empty market and then get coffee! Good times- enjoy your time with your beloved parents! ❤
It's pronounced "Lee" -- Vivian Leigh was a famous actress way back in the day. Think Gone With The Wind! :)
💚 Soul Happy you're home for the Holidays (hopefully you'll stay till spring). Thanx for sharing ...
I'm 66 and loving life. I've always looked forward to every stsge of life ..ie 20's 30's etc. It's an amazing journey to watch oneself evolve through life! I've really enjoyed watching you grow these last couple of years! You're a old soul for sure! I'm sure your family are proud of the young women you've become! Much Aloha Titah!🤙🌈💞
Agree with everything you wrote, I also 66 and just the last 5 yrs learned to appreciate this Wonder world.
I don’t understand where she’s coming from. I’m a little confused. She has a house on her property where she has modern conveniences for use. Full Bathroom, running hot water, electricity, central air/heating. Is she choosing to use the outhouse, no central heating for recreation? Is it a sustainability exercise?
I remember something about the big house being infested with ants 🐜
yeah I mean in vlogmas day 1 she even shows Logan asleep in the main house and the both of them using the modern bathroom… smoke and mirrors
i've been loving these videos, it's so nice to get to know you a little bit better every day :)
Cats need more than just dry food, they also need wet food Isa 💝
I've said it before, you are so talented. I love the fact that you MAKE things and give them as gifts. I crochet and some recipients don't seem to get the fact that it takes time and allot of love goes into homemade gifts. Keep up the good work and tell your Mom I LOVE her stove. It is awesome!
I knit too and no one appreciates my gifts lol.
Hi from India.. u are amazing girl
LOVE you Isabel! love Black, love Logan's haircut (you did it right') OH and love Logan too! haha!!!! Beautiful brownies!thank you for sharing your simple gorgeous life with us! peace fun love xxx
Good morning Isabel. Excellent video with outstanding and superlative production values (as always) - but that's of course to be expected from a talented and strong self sufficient offgrid woman such as yourself. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful Thursday. Your videos are evocative of a poem I wrote. I hope you like it: "The Full Moon has a Sound: One thousand pianos crashing down one thousand flights of stairs under weight of Antiquity. Meanwhile the bag of yellow peppers I picked yesterday are leaning forward on the table in the moonlight - under the capsicum sum of one summer." I hope you like it.
You, Logan, & your family are all amazing. I love your videos! And I love Black! She has the sweetest, little meow. Please keep her safe & protect her from wild animals. ☺❤🙋♀️🙏
Agree, protect Black from predators.
You're pretty much already living the "retired" life. You just need to make sure you put a lot of your monetization $$ into passive residual income for life so we can keep watching you until you really are an old grandma!
Thanks for sharing!
Creating content is hard work
I miss Seattle so much❤️ I lived there for years before I moved states. I can’t wait to visit during the holidays!
the alarm at the beginning so triggering 😅
