Sympathy for your losses. Sending love, healing vibes and prayers 🙏. I had to learn to accept help when my then husband was diagnosed with leukemia. He survived but the marriage didn't. When you accept help, you are being blessed by someone and allowing them to be blessed by helping you.
Molly Shannon on SNL I love it I love it I love it! My sister and I used to say this to each other and laugh our heads off. Sadly, my sister is no longer with us. Thanks for you fun references to popular culture from the '80's.
Hey Holly, it’s so good to see you!! I am at a quilting retreat and getting so much done 🎉. I enjoyed seeing the unboxing and I think my favorite fabrics were the add on fat quarters at the end. Thank you for the breathing,I am about to go to bed, it’s been a full and lovely day! 🤗
Hope your year goes better. And quit worrying about your hair. When it comes to Open gate, I really only like 2 pieces of the fabric for the block contest. The fat quarters were pretty. See you next video.
Holly I know exactly where you're coming from regarding the step ladder! Had the same issue myself! I hope your back feels better fast! Sorry for you 2 losses! The fabric in The Open Gate box was sp pretty! I hope you have an awesome day!
Hi Holly. Hope things get better soon for you; so sorry for your loss. Thank you for showing the latest Open Gate box….gee they do beautiful stuff. Take care.❤
❤❤❤sending positive Reiki vibes to your back. Love and hugs and prayers to all. Open Gate hit a home run ,with this box. I'm not a purple fan and I loved all of the fabrics. The block challenge sounds fun. Today the sun came up,I put my feet on thr floor,took a deep breath and said Thank You God. Have a good day.
T-Rex sticker! Love it - that's me doing anything, very short arms - big smile and bigger hinny ;-) AND it's a pretty pink. I liked Tula Pink's T-Rex in her fabric but thought it needed some red lips and painted nails.
LOL! I'm 5'2" and Dave is 6'5" - our kitchen cabinets are adjusted to his height so I use the first row in all the cabinets and he uses the rest (he's the chef mostly). He does forget and sometimes puts his "stuff" on my shelves or puts my "stuff" on his shelves. I actually think he does that when he wants me to ask for his help...oh - I also have T-Rex arms! I have a step stool with a back to hold on to but it's hard to pick up glass baking dishes and hold onto the step stool at the same time.
Holly, I want you to know that even though you are having a rough time you bring me joy every video you put out. You are the bright spot in my day, so thank you
Here's Holly, bringing reassurance and peace in the midst of waves crashing in life. Thank you for the breathwork. I needed it. I like your hair even better today. There are some great fabrics in the box this month. I am proud of you about the ladder, Holly.
Thank you for the breathing session. It was a quick one minute. This is so helpful. The fabric is pretty. I’m sorry for your loss. 2025 is coming in way too strong for me also. Sending healing vibes and strength.
Beautiful lilac fabrics and do like the pattern. Has a Victorian Era feel to it. Glad you are doing the safe way and asking for help. Prayers for you.🎉
I like your hair more every time I see it! You’re gonna grow to love it! And the open gate box NEVER disappoints! I hope I can afford to get their box this year. Stay well Holly. And if it helps, my son has removed all climbable objects from my home. Like you, I’m very unsteady on my feet and he doesn’t wanna have to come scoop me up! lol. Love you my friend! xo
My condolences on your losses. I hope your back issues are relieved soon. The purple floral fabrics were beautiful, although not my usual style. The Moda challenge is fun. I really like the fat quarter set was wonderful. Thanks for the breathing today!
I canceled all of my subscriptions until I get all the projects finished (or gifted). I love watching your unboxings and of course, Open Gates has to be one of my favorites. Take care of yourself.
I’m sorry you hurt your back! I just got over that. I highly recommend icing your back, using Motrin to reduce inflammation if you are allowed, and Icy Hot patches. This stopped my spasms in a couple of days. Healing wishes!
The ups and downs of life can be so totally overwhelming at times. 😮 Nothing to be done but move forward and sew therapy. The Open Gate box has a hint of spring!!
2 deaths? We aren’t even 2 weeks in. I’m so sorry for your loss. When grief is around, drama is around. I’m sorry to hear about your struggles. We will be here if it’s too much to do.
Holly, I’m so sorry for the loss you have had🙏🏻. Open Gate seems to be very “top notch”!!! Maybe one day I’ll subscribe to that😀. Breathing was fantastic. You are loved 😘 X n O ❤️😀
I am so sorry to hear about your loss and your back issues. Not a good beginning of the new year but there is always another day ,another tomorrow. Hug❤️
I have been missing your videos over the holiday season. Life! Anyway, I have plenty of videos to keep me company as I navigate the beginning of the year. As I was watching your video, I was thinking that one of the hardest things to do in life is ask for help. Why is that? Thank you for always being so kind, thoughtful, and positive. Take care of you. PS. ❤ the hair!
love that purple collection. i would add a solid to that fat quarter to calm the busyness and tie them all together . love the challenge. a block should be right up your alley.
So Sorry for your rough start to the year. Sometimes a season of life just is that way. I admire your determination to stay positive. (I looked up “fragrant fields” and it is a collection. So pretty!)
Good morning and happy Thursday! Holly, I am sorry to hear that your 2025 is off to such a lousy start, and you have my condolences on your losses. Sending warm thoughts & well wishes your way that that things improve soon. It's no shock that Open Gate has once again put together a very nice box with lovely fabrics & a useful notion. The challenge looks like it would be fun! I like the add-on fat quarters, too, especially the daisies with the different-colored centers on the black background.
Are we voting yet on the boxes? This gets a 5 for me or whatever the highest score is going to be - soooo "10"! It's a Ten! I cancelled every one of my subscriptions in December, even the quarterly ones since I was doing (hardly) any of the projects and just having to buy more totes to put the projects into for the "someday" category. I'd get Open Gates again. Oh! Did you see that Sweetwater is going to do a BOM? Okay, yes, I rejoined to do that - stupid BOM's - I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!
The first thing I noticed was your hair! I love it. I hope you grow into it or it grows out quick for you. 😊 I liked the box. I think it's definitely worth the money. Haven't tried this box yet. I have a couple I am still doing that I dont want to replace yet. Love the hair, the box was great. Hope u have a great week!
Hi Holly, it's a lot to relinquish these small things that chip away at your independence. Glad you are asking for help when you need it. Love the lilac lace fabric! ❤
What a beautiful box of fabric.......the Lilac Lace melted my heart. Purples are my favorite color! Open Gate always has a box with gorgeous fabrics and patterns♥ Stay well and take care of your back my friend♥
Oh the purple fabrics in this box are gorgeous!! I loved the challenge pieces too. So sorry you arehacing a rough start to the year but hopefully better days are coming soon. My condolences for losses.
Crap - at our age you can throw your back out sneezing...and pee your pants at the same time! A wet sneeze is what I call it, if it was an Olympic sport I'd get gold! Oh! I really like that Tom moved the bird feeder closer - I thought about doing that with mine but it's in the front yard and I don't want the birds too close to the front door.
Sorry to hear of the challenging start to 2025. I hope it starts to improve for you and that you back also improves. loved the box opening. Thank you and take care until your next video :)
Hi Holly, I’m sorry for you loss! Your January was my December. My husband had a total shoulder replacement surgery on Dec 2nd, I sprained my ankle on the 4th and fractured my back on the 10th. We lost my aunt and my husband’s uncle only days apart from one another! His uncle was on vacation with his wife and grandkids in Germany. He his finally on his was home and his funeral with be on Jan 13rh. Sadly. I won’t be able to pay my last respects. I’m have a procedure to stabilize the fracture as it is the first available appointment. 😮 as an eternal optimist, I believe things will definitely get better! Much love to you and yours!
Hello Holly, looking lovely as always! Loving your hair. Im so sorry for your losses, sending you love, hugs and positivity! PURPLE IS THE BEST COLOR (had to be said 😅). I am not a flower type girl but the fat quarters you got are very nice. Thank you for sharing, until next time.......
Love your hair cut,makes you look younger.👍
The table topper will be nice for Valentine’s Day

Oh my oh my! Open Gates is fabulous. I LOVE THE BOM FABRICS, especially that blueprint cream and the double sided one. Yes, please...yardage please.

Getting used to shorter hair takes a minute. I’m looks really cute. If longer was easier…let it grow. Hugs to you!
The crackling is unbearable
