Joy at the beginning of this video, i felt heart sick at hearing about Jerry's weakness and no energy and seeing how upset you were about it but then you started talking about Jerry not wanting to sell your house. I could see the "joy" returning to you once you decided to go with the flow. Sometimes we think downsizing is best for us but in the end it truely is not. Especially since you have an extraordinary sewing set up at this house. We have to take pleasure were we fund it at our age. Im actually happy Jerry changed his mind about selling. Now, since this new revolution has happened, go out and find yourself an employee who can pitch in and help you with some of the things you have going on. There's no shame in getting household help should you need it. Take care and God bless you and Jerry!
Totally disagree. With Jerry’s health declining and or being unstable She seriously needs to downsize otherwise she’s going to be left with a lot on her plate. Either that or she needs to start getting rid of a lot of stuff now fortunately, they have enough finances where she would hire somebody to help her move and sell that house when that time comes.
Joy, I have been in low funk. Haven’t sewed in awhile. Maybe because of my hubby’s passing. But I have to say.Your video has lifted my spirits. Thank you. I’m working on Quilts of Honor. 😀🙏
Gloria, life can get really hard on our emotions. I have been on a roller coaster of emotions lately. Very high and very low. It is so good to be making a video again. It is wonderful that you are making Quilts of Honor. Great charity.
I am right there with you…I can relate.
My sentiments match just about what everyone else has said about Jerry and what a strong woman you are. I've missed you so much and I am so happy to see you in your sewing/quilting room. I love hearing about your life and I don't come here just for sewing or quilting, I come here for you. I do sew, quilt, crochet, knit, and everything about sewing garments. You are an amazing woman and I come to learn from you and if you throw in some life experiences, I will listen to you. You make me laugh and love your enthusiasm. Stay grounded and listen to your heart. I pray for Jerry and you as well.
I’m so happy to hear you guys are staying put. Hubby and I have down sized 3 times since 2003. He passed away 11-01-23 after 60 years of marriage. Iam 82. I flatly refuse to move again. No way. I pray that you and hubby will be happy you stayed put. May our Lord continue to protect you’ll. 🙏👍🤎🧵🥰🤠✝️💋
Love how your project looks and I enjoy watching the "Joy Bernhardt" show for everything you do in your videos. Please continue showing sewing projects, quilting projects and anything else you wish to share with us, that's why I'm here😉
I have lots of catching up to do. I have been MIA with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Get my PET scan results next week. Being anemic can make you feel terrible too. I sure hope Jerry gets to feeling better. I am going to have to watch lots of videos to catch up on what is going on & where you are moving to. I am sure he will miss the lake & the beautiful nature around there. Be where you are the happiest & do not think of what if. At our age we have less numbers left than more. Enjoy each day. Don't spend more time fixing up another place. We downsized & this place is so much smaller and less storage. We both feel cramped living so close to our neighbors and I sure miss my craft room. Prayers for healing.
Vickie, I hope you have gotten a good report that the Lymphoma is gone in your body. Jerry had N-H Lymphoma twice, and he has been cancer free for over 10 years now. Let me know how you are doing. You know my email: Bernhardtjm50@gmail.com
Agreed…I was saddened that Jerry could leave what he gave his earnest strength in building a ‘forever’ home for you and him. Kinda like when you give away (not happening) a quilt you worked sEw hard on with focused dedication and lively energy. Jerry has now a home for you two as his initial life plan is and a ‘Bonus’ home to venture to when y’ll get a traveling get up and go urge. The Bonus Home will provide you and Philly a place to co verge upon and go SeW wild and Jerry will take a moment of happiness in hearing you and Philly laughing together. You are both most fortunate to have a lifestyle that affords this lifestyle plan🧵🪡🧵🛠️🧰🗝️💜
Yes, that is right. Jerry loves family at the other home just like I do. He also loves Phylly. She worked at one of our stores for many years.
That happened to me. About 6 yrs ago, when my youngest grad high school and started college, we decided to move to a nearby town where my eldest son lived and we did most of our shopping, eating out, and church. I found my "dream" house. We started moving. My husband and son moved all of their stuff. Our plan was to move out of our house that we had lived in for over 20 years and then sell it. I started moving my stuff very slowly. (That should have been a sign). I was so homesick for the house that I raised my kids in. I would wake my husband up and say, "I am going home. I'll see you in the morning." In the middle of the night, in my pajamas, I would drive 25 minutes to sleep in my bed, in my real house. Within a few months, we had put the "new" home on the market and it sold within a week for full asking price. I just knew that it was divine intervention because we only lost out on closing costs. Now, it has been enough time and I think that I am ready to actually move. Give yourselves some time to get used to the idea of moving or keep both places for a while.
I know what you mean about the joy of finally sewing again! I was displaced from my home after a flood in 2016. I finally bought a small travel machine and was sewing on a dining room table where we were staying while my home was being rebuilt. Finally being able to sew was what I needed to feel whole again. So no matter what’s going on, God will handle it, just sew!
I like your channel! Glad it's not only sewing!
My prayers are with you and jerry as you navigate this uncertain time! Love and hugs! Peggy
Dear sweet, wonderful Joy,
You don't know me and I doubt that we will ever meet (unless you want to take your RV on an adventure to Michigan), but I just want to share with you that I felt so sad when you said you had bought a different house.
I know that Jerry's heart is here, and even though there are upsides to the new location, I just couldn't wrap my head around the thought of it being "home" for Jerry and you.
Seeing you come to life when you started sewing again in your house, and hanging your rulers back up on your wall just warmed my heart.
Yes, yes, yes I totally understand that you have to do what is right for you, and some strangers opinions mean next to nothing. I will always pray for you and Jerry and wish comfort and joy for both of you.
Thank you Mary so much. You are right. Hubby being well is one thing. Being sick is another. We will have two houses now. It will all work out.
Hi Joy. Great to see you. I feel bad for you both -- so much work packing and moving and then packing and moving back. ... but I do understand why he loves it so much and doesn't want to sell it. Too bad you moved the longarm already. Please Don't push yourselves too hard. I know you said Jerry lost weight --- you look like you've lost weight too. Please rest and take care of yourselves. I think you both need a vacation. A real, honest to goodness - no working - just relaxing vacation!
Jane, you cannot imagine the 100% CHANGE in him. He is walking and talking and behaving like my Jerry instead of like a complete stranger. I praise God we were able to get him off that pill. We will have two houses again. Not moving back except for a few things like the recliners. The longarm is NOT moving again! I'm sewing again today and making a video. Jerry if over in his barn getting the RV ready to sell. All is very normal again, at least for now.
@@Joy4650B Praise God! Normal is good! So happy he's back to being himself. can't wait to see your new nightgown. Nice to "visit" with you.
So very happy to come home from work and find this video~ I have missed you, Joy! Please give dear Jerry a hug from all of us- so glad he is on the mend!! You have been so busy- please take care of yourself. Are you and Jerry quitting the RV life? I am sending you lots of love from NC 😊
Yes Neena. The RV is being sold. We need to stay near home, even though we will have two now.
Oh, Joy - your life gets turned upside down & yet you still end up cheerful with a precious new sewing project, to boot! You’re amazing! So glad Jerry’s doing better! Best of luck with the houses! 😂❤
Joy I don't know how you don't lose your mind but God bless you!
Been so concerned about both of you! Continuing to pray for God to heal Jerry and get y’all settled
Joy my heart is breaking that you dont have more help and support. I hope Gods plan works out for you soon 🙏❤
Knowing you Joy, you will get everything in the order you love
Hey JOY!! OMGSH R y’all going to have to sell your home closer to your family and Philly. I was so happy for you to be by the people you love. I do understand how Jerry feels, my momma was the same way. Loved her original home forever. I worry about you JOY moving is so stressful and you have a double dose w/ Jerry being sick. Please at least and rest and eat well. But I loved seeing you again. I always enjoy seeing you and hearing your voice. Love ❤️ you girl!!! Kris
We aren't moving back. We are keeping both homes. Some downsizing, huh!? I just have to move back a few things.
@@Joy4650B JOY you were made to have 2 houses. I can understand Jerry wanting to keep what he built. He does love you like crazy. What a wonderful thing. I am so glad you are by family & especially Philly. Don’t work too hard. I’m praying 🙏 for you and Jerry’s health. He’s such a good man
So good to hear Jerry is doing better. I’m so sorry for what all you have been dealing with and Jerry’s health and mental status. Sending prayers for both of you. Sometimes we just need rest and time to ourselves to refuel our bodies and our minds. So I’m glad you have some time to just sew. That nightgown you’re making looks like a beautiful summer dress. (Just Saying). I had my sleep apnea done just over a week ago. I should get results back this coming week. I inherited loud snoring from my father who died at an early age of heart problems. Do you remember that I won the Palmer & Plesch book from you? Well sit down because you’re not going to believe this. I entered a contest from Janine sews up in Canada and yep you guessed it. She drew my name. I won a $100.00 gift card to Rick Rack Textiles in Canada. I was blown away! I’ve seen some pretty fabric but our credit card was hacked. So we had to cut up the old credit cards and wait 10 days for new cards. So all you out there be sure to enter those contests. I got an awesome book from Joy that helps so much with fitting and has great tips and I got $100.00 to spend on fabric.
Joy so glad to hear that Jerry is doing better. Oh my gosh I can’t believe you are having to move everything back home. I think you need a trip to the fabric shop!
Love the pink and black stripe fabric! I think the irregular nature of those strips is really nice!
I have been following your videos and moves for some time, and I am your age and over the past 7 years have down-sized steadily about 3 times. No one can really tell you what to do, but you need help with this move, and please get Jerry a good doctor. He has a pacemaker and BP problems, so needs to be near a good facility and good doctors. Moves are hard, but don’t give up on it-down-sizing is painful but necessary, but take it slower. Keep an embroidery machine, sewing machine and your longarm and possibly a lightweight one, and don’t keep all your patterns, duplicates, fabric, etc. You will be happier, I guarantee, but don’t try to do this move quickly. You both are stressed, and Jerry’s health is paramount as is yours-my 2 cents worth! Wish I was with you two and could help out! God Bless and keep you both!
You sure are right Jean. I have done NO moving since we got here. Since we aren't selling this house, I don't care what it looks like right now. I just want to SEW and talk to all of you.
Joy, you looked so much happier towards the end of the video. I’m so glad you’re not giving up the house and sewing space that you love so much.
Joy, my mom cut out each pattern piece, stacked them in order, then checked the view she was sewing to organize her needed pieces. Consequently, that’s what I did for 40 years. Now, I just cut out what’s needed when I do buy a big 4 pattern, which is seldom. I really prefer Indie patterns. Oh, and then we would carefully iron each piece and fold it just right, put in order and slip back into envelope!
I’m so happy you are feeling better and pray Jerry will soon be back to himself as well. We are all part of his plan, so try to hang on until everything falls into place the way it should. Your faith will carry you through❤️❤️❤️
I am so happy to see you ,and your not moving 😮,and that is okay 😊 just think about all that cleaning out you have done plus you can actually see what you really need to keep and what you can’t live with out. I think that’s called a simple,and relaxing life as we get older,and in the long run it’s easier to let it go by getting rid of it ,or giving it to your children and see them enjoy it before we are gone,and if they don’t want it that’s ok ,as much as it may hurt the feelings we have to remember they have made their home the way they want it and we have to respect that. I personally would want them to say no if it’s something they didn’t want so that it can be loved by someone that will enjoy it. I am a huge believer in passing down from generation to generation but I can’t make my kids like something that they really don’t want ,but what I do thou is make sure they hear the stories of how I received it and from whom. Joy I love your story telling ,I like it when you go off track 😂you crack me up with your replacement of names. Enjoy that nice cleaned out sewing room. ❤❤❤❤❤ soooooo happy to see you are back .
Oh Joy, as a retired occupational therapist I understand why you feel so happy when you are sewing. I wish I was still practicing, I'd love to have met you and written a paper with you on the emotional and physical health benefits that are brought to you through sewing and how having it taken from you while you moved affected your mood and wellbeing. It's how people feel when they suffer illness or disability and can no longer express themselves and their identity, the therapist has to find a way of showing the client how to find that happiness again and I think it would have been incredibly useful to have written a paper with you. Maybe there's an OT out there who would like to do it. God bless.
How amazing Julie! You really do understand. I did not realize that the change was affecting me so much. I thought it was because of Jerry's illnesses and the move. Thank you so much for your comment.
Joy, it is so good to see again. Know you have been missed. Prayers for Jerry getting better.
Thx for posting, Joy. Glad to see you & that Jerry’s getting better.
Life, sewing or anything else you do, I’m here for it & for you!
It was great to see you re-energized by the sewing & “me” time. I can relate.
🤗🙏💕
I love that dress! Putting the stripe horizontal made such a difference! Surprised me as we have always been told to do stripes vertically, or it adds poundage to you. This is going to be just darling. Glad you’re making a dress and not just a nightgown.❤
Joy, you and Jerry have been on my mind and heart alot lately🙏🏻Im releaved to know that Jerry is getting better day by day.😊 Just take it one day at a time. God will provide.. So glad to see your spirits lift when you got back to sewing. 😊 I've done that very same alteration on several pair of my pants too! I like the pink and black fabric much better now that I see it sewn up!! Very nice!!❤
Hey sweet lady, I am so glad you released this video. The Lord impressed on my heart to pray for you & Jerry a few days ago. It warms my heart to see how your joy was restored once you began sewing. It is my therapy as I pray over every stitch if I am making something for someone else. Sending you a virtual hug. ❤️
So glad Jerry is doing better. Having your old house could be a vacation house. Your go to the lake house. I've miss our visits. Lol it was nice to see you and you are wonderful and always try to share your sewing knowledge with others. See you later and hope thr catfish was good!
Hey Joy. So good to see you. I really feel sry for you. you've been through quite a bit of turbulence in these past months. First Jerry's heart problems then having to move when he was still recovering then deciding not to sell the house Well God really must be with you as I think you wouldn't be able to cope with everything that's been going on in your life.But I'm happy to see you being able to find a bit of spare time to sew. I know people who don't do sewing knitting or any other crafts don't understand how these hobbies call them what you want help us keep our sanity when life gets hard.I always tell my friends or relatives that my craft room has been my sanitarium for over 25years. When I sew knit crochet or whatever I'm in the mood for,have always been my antidepressants. So good luck with everything you're doing and may Jerry's gets back to his old self very soon.❤
Very true. I am not on any medications at all, and my craft room surely is my "pill" these days.
Such a blessing to have so many options. I know you old sewing room will be beautiful again once you get it all back together. Hoping Jerry is feeling better soon. I know that you’re going to do great!
Great to see you back in your sewing studio! You’re in your element sewing in your home.
PS…THANK YOU YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for getting rid of the misc cardboard boxes that held the ‘dups’ patterns.. Just seeing the boxes was giving me anxiety… i was thinking…wow, Joy is not feeling up to her organized self.
Actually, the patterns were all in numerical order. LOL.
I just watched your video I’m in Texas teaching a class, I can’t believe my ears. I know what you’re going through. I’m here for you if you need me.
You are such a sweetheart Jeffy. Thank you.
I'm so glad to see you again dear sweet joy. You can sew and visit with Philly in the new house, and you and Jerry will be happy in the current house. It is the best of both worlds. Hugs from Florida.
Oh, Joy, good to see you. I'm drinking my coffee and hanging out with you. Whatever you want to talk about is fine. The echo of an empty room is making it harder to understand. I discovered recently that if I worked on a sewing project it absolutely grounds my mind. It really makes me happy.
Oh Joy!!! Good to have you back! Sorry what you’re going through, I know how you’re feeling because I’ve been there!!! But it’s good you decided to keep your home before it’s too late and you can’t turn back….prayers for you and Jerry and love your new nightgown…❤❤
Oh hi Joy!!!! Missed you so much! Ive been praying for you and Jerry daily🫂❤️ One day at a time and the Holy Spirit will direct you both. I'm glad you were able to sew...I feel the same as you when I sew. Bless you both as you proceed with your daily decisión making! Hugs friend😘🫂
So glad Jerry is feeling better. Sewing is my happy place also. Blessings.
So happy to see your video. I’ve missed you! Great that you are sewing again and hopes things settle down for you .
Joy, you are a strong woman and you have your faith. You will work it out in good time. Within a month, when your husband has got the drug out of his system, he may feel differently. Organise your space as you want and do what you want to do for the next little while and put the rest of it out of your mind. My sewing room is my happy place, too. I know just what you mean about withdrawal. I have been going through it, too, due to the flu and how cold it is in my sewing room. Tomorrow I am sewing, come what may! I follow Karina and Jennifer, too. I've learned lots from them.
My dear Joy I am so pleased to see you again. What do they say? Make plans and God laughs and changes them. He knows it's for a reason that neither you or Jerry will know why. I love your old house and now you can redecorate. There are so many possibilities. I just wanted to hug you. Sew your little heart away and know we all love you and Jerry.
Omg Joy, you are an inspiration to us all. I just love your faith and belief that there’s a reason things happen and that with Gods help we get by and thrive. Give yourselves a rest from all the stress and lose yourself in sewing for a few hours or days. I just know that you’ll both be ok ❤
My heart goes out to you!! Thinking of you and Jerry during this chapter of your life!
Omg. I’ve been so worried about you guys. So glad you’re alive and well. Hopefully Jerry will gain his strength back since he’s off that horrible medication. Take care. ❤🙏🇺🇸✝️
I’m so glad to see you back. I’ve missed you guys. I’m praying for you both.
Thank you so much!
I’m glad that you figured out what was going on with Jerry and he’s getting better.
Glad to see you making videos again. Love the black/white/pink fabric and it will make up so nice. Sewing is my therapy. I just go in my sewing room and I can feel the stress leave my body right away. Sorry you have to move back again but it will all work out for you and Jerry. Hope Jerry improves as the days go on. Sometimes medication can really mess with the body and cause more harm than good. Take care of yourself and keep smiling.
I am glad to hear Jerry is doing better. It's frightening when the hubs doesn't feel well. I am glad you are keeping your beautiful home. Why not move back in totally and rent out the new one? It's tough having stuff in two places. What you want will always be in the other house! Best of luck to you both.
Oh, yes, Katie. Something is ALWAYS at the other house. That is why I have two of everything.
Wow! You have really been dancin’ the dance! Good thing you are a strong woman! ❤
Im soo glad to see you! Hopefully yall will find a good Cardiologist for Jerry and get his meds right. Take care of yourself as well Joy.
Good to see your feeling better and Jerry is getting back to himself. Life decisions are so hard! Bless you both
God bless you Joy and Jerry! I hope you find peace soon. Moving is hard.
Oh Joy! God bless y’all. I am praying that Jerry will be well soon. And prayers for both of you during this transitional time. God works all these things together for your good… I know y’all love Him and are called to His purpose. Look at it this way… you have an opportunity to clean and put things back the way you want. ❤🙏 also, I couldn’t help but laugh when you said, “I don’t have enough fabric!” I never thought I would hear you say those words! 😂❤ Diann
I’ve got the Joy Joy Joy Joy down-in my heart! It is soooo good to see you! I have missed you so much! I’m so sorry that you and Jerry have been sick. Thrilled to hear that he stopped the meds that were causing him to be confused. I have to tell you I’m not sad that he doesn’t want to sell your home, what a wonderful place you have. You all worked hard for what you have and if he wants to keep it because it is home, then I agree with you, if he wants to keep it, so be it. Joy please keep sewing and taking care of your sweet Jerry. I miss you all on shine too. Have a wonderful weekend!
Joy I was so afraid U would regret selling Ur home and moving. I do hope You get it worked out the way You and Jerry will be really happy. Love watching You .🙏❤️
Also, Joy I feel that Jerry is afraid for now... he is unwell and wants to hold on to the life you have built so that he can feel safe.. When he feels well he will have the confidence to move ❤
Hi Joy! Loved your video. Glad you got a chance to sew. Good luck with your house!
Hi Joy ! So nice to see you again! Missed you very much. Hope everything works out for you both. Sometimes it is better to stay put. At our age we know every step of the house. Love and hugs to you ! Say Hi to Jerry❤️🇨🇦
Oh Joy. I feel for you and Jerry. First of all I pray for his health- nothing is more important. As for the house- so stressful. I downsized 9 months ago. It was SO hard. We had to sell our bigger home to be able to buy a smaller one but we grieved dreadfully for our old home. I think if I was in your position I would have changed my mind too. As it is we have made our new house a lovely home and we are settled and glad we did it. Things will work out in the end I am sure. In the meantime take care of yourself. 😊 Lynne
Joy, you seem so relived. I think keeping your house was a blessing in disguise. Now that Jerry is doing better, and you're relieved of the burden of selling, your joy has returned! Praise God!
Hi Joy! So glad to see you again. But oh my, you have been dealing with a lot! I just love your positive outlook on things happening in your world right now😁❤️ “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade”. Your sewing studio is kind of like you are starting over. I am praying Jerry keeps getting better and you both stay healthy and figure things out. The Lord will guide you and give you wisdom.
Thank you Pam.
I wonder if he’s taking blood pressure medication with a diuretic? When I was taking that I could barely walk from one room to another. As soon as I stopped the diuretic my energy level greatly improved. Just a thought. I hope he’s feeling better soon.
He is taking metoprolol and Eliquis (blood thinner). I wish he could stop all of it.
Thank you, Joy, for your joy today. How to find joy and love in everything life throws at us is one of the secrets one often forgets. Tomorrow always takes care of itself, no??? I now have a smile on my face today because of you!
Joy, tell Jerry, a friend of our daughter had a problem, doctors thought it was his heart, (well he got to where his legs would not work) turned out it was some medicine for cholesterol! Who knew, yes medicines are good and sometimes they are wrong. Hoping for better days ahead for both of you! 😕🙃👍❤️😊
So glad your are happy, we have missed you. Keep in touch
Gosh, I was so happy to see you today! You sure are a wonderful example of being ‘Joyful’ in trying times. I totally understand Jerry wanting to keep that lovely place! I am so glad you had a chance to sew and that it made you happy! Take care! See you soon!
I love hearing your life stories, not just sewing. I can understand Jerry not wanting to move. My mother was a seamstress too and my father was an engineer. And my mom always knew how to fit a garment. I love the stripes. Funny too she taught me the basics, but I took tailoring in high school to really learn the craft.
Joy I’m so glad to see you. I wondered how you both were going to leave your beautiful home and property. I’m sure it will all work out
So glad to see you again! Youve been through so much with everything. I pray Jerry keeps getting better and you stay healthy. You do just light up when youre sharing your sewing with us..
So glad to see you back sewing. You seem so much more relaxed. Yes, I know this isn’t just a sewing channel and I’m fine with that, it’s just you were in need of “Joy time.” Glad to hear that you two figured out Jerry’s medication and that he is on the road to feeling better. I’m sure God has a wonderful plan for you and Jerry and your move to and from one house to another and then returning to the original. Exciting times are ahead for the two of you.
Oh my goodness Joy! I am glad you are finding some peace in your sewing as you are on a roller coaster just now. Thinking of you ❤
My dearest Joy. I am so glad to hear that Jerry is getting back to his old self. I was so excited to hear that you are keeping your AMAZING house. I always thought that your sewing room was the envy of many of us who love sewing. I am sure your other house will be just as amazing, but the important thing is that you both are healthy and well. Looking forward to your upcoming videos once you are more settled. God bless you both.
So glad to see you back, I’ve been worried about you two🙏🏻
So good to see you! Sewing is so much a part of your life; I can see why you're "happy as a lark" to get your machine back in action! Continued prayers for you both.
Ms. Joy, silver linings so look on the bright side. You now have the opportunity to create a a bright and fresh sewing space. You got an early start on your spring cleaning. 😊 blessings of health and happiness to you and Jerry.
so glad you found some joy in something so familiar to you as sewing something/anything with what you had on hand. I relate to that joy so much. Hugs
Oh Joy, I am so sorry for you to have to move things back. Jerry needs to get you help since he decided to move and now not move.
So good to see you again, Joy. I'm glad Jerry is doing better. I have to admit that I am happy you are back in your sewing room-you will have it set up exactly like you want it again. God bless you both and I am looking forward to your next video. Pam Miller
I was just thinking about you, so glad you posted this update. I'm glad Jerry is doing better. Praying you and Jerry can make decisions that suit both of your needs.
You are so right about time for yourself.
I put my rulers on my walls too with my old machine needles. Learned that from you
Awesome. I took all the machine needles to the "new" house. I will have to bring them back here now.
I am so pleased to hear you have decided to keep your beautiful property and house. Good to hear Jerry is getting better. With the medication and maybe subconsciously questioning the sale behind him, hopefully he has turned the corner and can enjoy many more years of fishing and bulldozing at your house. With the other house near family, you seem to have settled on the perfect compromise. ❤
Oh, that...what you said about God moving us forward..you have NO idea what that meant to me. Joy, you are such an inspiration 💖
Please continue to show me how to organize my patterns
That IS cute, Joy. And the pink up that high will definitely draw attention to your smiling face!
Hi Joy, thanks for the updates and letting us know all that's going on. I hope Jerry will be himself again soon and things will look better. Take care of yourself as well. Moving and looking after your hubby must not be the easiest.
I was happy to see you had time for some sewing and thank you for taking the time to show us what your working on. I love that fabric it would be a great dress.
God bless you and Jerry
I can sit at the sewing machine all day that is my happy place
I am glad that Jerry is doing better. I am sorry to hear about the moving. Have fun sewing.
God bless you both.
Hi, Joy! Glad you got Jerry off those pills! What a terrible thing to go through - and from a cardiologist who didn't chart the meds no less. Thankfully, you still have some things you can sew. That nightgown might make a cool summer dress since you don't have enough fabric for the sleeves. Praying for you guys as you decide to move/don't move.
Hello Joy, I’m so glad to hear from you. I’ve missed your videos. I’m glad you are over the flu. My husband and I are recovering from Covid and it was a lot worst the second time around, this time we actually got anti virals “Paxlovid” because we are seniors. In Australia you can’t even mention “Ivermectin “. Anyway the anti virals worked but like all flu they linger. I got sick on the 2 nd of January and today is the 14th we have been quarantined since my husband was tested positive two days after me. (we don’t know how we caught it as we don’t go anywhere, and over Christmas we only saw our family and none of them are sick) the only thing I can think of is the delivery guy made me sign an electronic screen and it was really sticky, and I thought I should wash my hands, but can’t remember if I did or not? Anyway too late now but it’s something to be aware of. Don’t let your guards down. I’m sorry Jerry hasn’t been well, but hopefully he is on the road to recovery. I’m sorry that you have to put everything back but maybe it will force you to downsize a little bit. (I know it’s hard to do) my husband is constantly on my back to get rid of my stuff, you do accumulate a lot of stuff over 47 years of marriage. You and Jerry were very brave when you made the decision to move, it’s a lot of work especially when you are sick.I pray 🙏 that you are both getting stronger and better each day. I look forward to seeing you more often.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💖💖🌹🌹🌹
Oh Joy so good to see you. Glad your feeling better. Glad Jerry is doing better. Glad your getting to sew a little something,good for our emotions. Your right God will lead you both in right directions pertaining to the 2 homes. I need to get back to a little project sewing Jelly bean shape hand warmers after chemo treatments. Made some for daughter and friend that just had lung caner surgery and an older friend that's just cold in the winter. Want to get a packet together for the cancer house in our town they sew things in their gifts bags for cancer patients and they have never heard of them.
I have never heard of those Patricia. I will have to look them up. How nice of you to make them.
God bless you, Patricia. I just attended the Visitation for the wonderful lady I babysat for as a teen who was more like an older sister to me back then. She was ever the classic, classy lady and didn't publicize that her cancer battle wasn't going well. How I wish I'd sewn a little quilt that she could have used during treatment. I do hope that some kind sewist like you made those hand warmers. Now that I know about them I'll see about getting some made in her memory, plus her family requested support for a local crisis-care nursery she supported. I'm all about sewing some baby quilts and layette items for them in her name. One thing I've done for a family member in a nursery home (oops, Nursing Home...the nursery home thing is an old family chuckle from when my son was a little guy and angry at me---he retorted 'I don't wuv you, when you are old I going to make you go to a bad nursery home!' lol!) You might want to also look into the 'Quilted Hug Project', they have a free pdf that is a neat project to make. It might be lovely for your lung cancer person and older friend too.
Oh Joy I knew you couldn’t leave that house that Jerry and you worked so hard on and that you both love so much! I have missed you terribly but I knew you were very busy! Happy Sewing 🧵
Glad Jerry is starting to feel better. Wishing you both all the best. Love what your making ♥️
So happy to see you so happy Joy. Am glad Jerry is beginning to get to good help.
Blessings to you both !
