So pleased to have found your channel...thoroughly enjoying the adventures and crafting and music <3 :)

Thank you for putting this together. The archeology is fascinating and all in such a small area. The scenery is beautiful ❤️

Thank you for another joyful and relaxing video. I think Snaefrith needs a kilt and woolly jumper!

How about a kilt for Snaefrith?

Such a lovely video! Every bit of it. The bagpipes were amazing. I love your gentle way of reading out the stories. Very different advice and times.

Thanks so very much dear Helen for another wonderful episode ❤ I think your Advent tree is a totally brilliant idea ! I think that spending time crafting with others builds a very special relationship- Nell and Libby are very lucky to have you as their aunt and I can tell how much you enjoy yourself with them 😊 I’m hoping to help my little granddaughters with their crafts as they grow up- though I’ve already had Miss 3 year old having fun with playdough, stamping and painting etc. i loved the dance photos- so precious as they tell us so much about the time and my dear Mum and Dad were both born in 1921. Have a very happy week Helen 😊

Hi Helen, that was a lovely video. I enjoyed seeing your finished projects. I was impressed by the pebble painting, too; the paint effects were very pretty. 😊❤

Dear Helen! What a treat to spend time in your lovely company! I always get excited about your crafty videos anticipating to learn something new from your old books, or relaxing listening to your soothing piano sounds or most exciting - to see a new knitted friend! I watched this video with a smile on my face as it evoked so many fond memories from my childhood - crafting with my babulya (my granny) and thinking about the things we were taught as children. Do keep sharing the book - it's a gem! Also what wonderful phots of dancing girls! Even though they are still I feel like they tell a story and I can almost imagine those cute girls giggling! Thank you so much and you too, take care and have a lovely week! Cheers from New Zealand, from Marina, a fellow toy maker and crafter.

Thank You for sharing Your Fun & Wonderful visit with Family🥰 ❤️👍Hoping You All have A Joyfully Blessed Week 🙏🕊️💐

Another lovely video Helen. I could listen to your niece playing Bagpipes all day, beautiful. I could also listen to your piano playing. I love your makes and the rock painting and sock your niece knitted. Well done to them both and what a treasured memory for you all sitting in the garden crafting together. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌺

Delightful Ah the days when girls were girls I used to walk half a mile after school to go to country dancing lessons I loved it My claim to fame was dancing in the Albert Hall at aged 9 Thank you Helen 🎉

Oh the photos of the dancers are absolutely. Charming! This entire episode was just amazingly engaging. You are a “podcaster extraordinaire” in my book! I could sit and watch and listen to these podcasts all day long. Thank you Helen! Until the next time. Salam wa sa’aadah

Another enjoyable video. Such talented nieces, amazing knitting for a first sock. The stones looked great, what a lovely thing to do together. Talented bagpipe playing, and I enjoyed your piano playing as always. Thank you so much Helen.❤❤

Oh my, Helen, you are an amazing tour guide and historian - on top of a musician and artisan! These trip journals are absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing them with us. Now I’m off to watch your go on bagpipes - can’t wait! My best to you and Pete. Salam wa sa’aadah

Hello Helen, I really enjoyed this lovely video, especially the books and music, looks like you had lots of fun with nell and Libby and Henry, thanks for sharing, take care. ❣️

Loved your finished projects the advent tree is such a good idea, great to see you crafting with your nieces and the pictures from your book were charming but I don't think I will be having a cold bath any time soon even if it is supposed to set me up for the day ! 😊❤

Would you mind awfully if I didn't take the advice and have a cold short plunge in the morning?😂. Lovely crafting and glad the worry of the hat is solved. Lovely to hear the bagpipes played by Nell, so accomplished and your sheep is fab u lous, especially the name which escapes me!

Fabulous bagpipe playing!

The pictures from your last book remind me of some of the images in a museum in the centre of Perth next to the river. Did you visit it?

Another great episode Helen. Loved seeing the time you spent with your nieces, and how clever Nell is on the bagpipes!…the pics in the book are adorable and to think how the little girls must have loved it….my mum was irish and had medals for irish dancing and playing the violin….it’s lovely to visit the past and see how things were done so long ago…thanks again x x x 🥰

What a delightful podcast. Your nieces are so talented. I loved the photographs of the dancers. My husband's mother was born in 1905 and we have some photos of her practising ballet in a similar costume. I will try to send you one. The girls in the photos must have been from well-to-do families. But the 1920s was also a period of great poverty, my own mother was born in 1911 and had a very deprived childhood. Such a contrast between our 2 mothers.

Hi Helen, thanks again for such a happy and inspiring podcast. The Christmas tree is great, then came the gnome - wow he's perfect, and then....your gorgeous big lamb! I love her, you've made such a kind looking lamb. Thank you for sharing your family time with us too, Libby's stone painting and dotty design was so inspiring that I'm tempted to give it a try myself, so many possibilities with shapes and colours, I also liked your dragon stone too. Nell's bagpipe playing was fantastic (I absolutely hate the bagpipes but she has changed my mind, so melodic I didn't want it to end). And the little dancers at the end, how cute. Such a variety of topics in your podcast, no wonder we all enjoy them so much. I'm already looking forward to your next one, best wishes, Helen x

Hello Helen. It was lovely to spend some time with you. I absolutely love your sheep, such a pretty face. I'm glad you had a great time with your talented nieces. The gift of time is priceless, precious memories made, too. Goodness, the dentist piece made me laugh. I'm having some major and long awaited dental surgery on Friday. It's taken 2 years and many hospital appointments to get to this stage. This is only the halfway point. I'm not sure how I'm feeling, but it has to be done. Have a lovely week. Xx💕💐

Hi Helen. I was thinking of dungarees for Snaefrith too! With some knitting needles in her pocket and maybe a drop spindle? Lovely podcast, thank you for sharing.

Thankyou for another lovely video Helen and for showing us all your makes. I loved the pictures of the little girls dancing and your tree but … I’m probably the only person on the planet who doesn’t like gnomes (sorry, I don’t like nutcrackers either!) Snaefrith the Kind just suits her name so well. Well done to both your nieces, lovely for you to spend crafty time with them. Take care till next time Helen. Xx

Hi Helen, I enjoyed seeing your nieces again. Nell plays the pipes beautifully especially for one so young. Libby’s stones were lovely too, she’s quite artistic. Your dragons scales was also beautiful. Loved your Christmas tree and the gnome turned out great. The ewe did turn out a bit bigger than expected - all the more to hug 🤗. Those old books are very entertaining - cold baths brrrrr - it’s funny how that practice is being rediscovered by another generation. I’m a hot bath girl. No bracing for me lol. See you next week 🥰🤗

Thanks Helen. I loved seeing your nieces again. Nell is impressive on the bagpipes. It is nice to spend time with them crafting and learning new skills. I love Snaefrith the Kind. I can’t wait to see what kind of clothing you will create for her.

Thank you Helen ..loved that...those old books are wonderful...teeth brushing lesson was so funny,..the dancing book with the old photographs was a real treat.all the beautiful costumes.....your sheep is so handsome..think you should make her an old fashioned long smock...Nell and her bagpipe playing was impressive and the painted pebbles looked great ..Advent tree and gnome...what can I say...so much talent ☘️❤️

It looked so nice to craft with your nieces! The sheep is lovely! The name is used in Norway too, as Snefrid, or Snøfrid. It is from the Viking time and means Snow+beautiful. Nell is really doing well on the bagpipes! Have a nice week!

Hello Helen! What a lovely way to spend time with your nieces! I used to do crafts in the summer holiday with my eldest daughter when she was little and still sometimes we do some crafts together. We loved the tree and particularly the sheep! She does look very kind! We look forward to watching your next video. Love from Barcelona from Teresa, Natalie and Graciela.

I love all your finished objects especially the sheep.👍🧶Looks like you had a lovely time with your nieces.😊

Well done Nell, sounded pretty good to me!! Helen did you ever show your completed pebble haze blanket? Did I miss it? I was wondering how it turned out as I might do one myself. Thanks.😊

Snaefrith the Kind 😊 love the name, I think she needs a colour work jumper or shawl and some smart dungarees like the donkey has! Lots of lovely parts to your pot pourri this week, including girls dancing in black leather ballet shoes….. what memories those brought back. ❤️

A delightful episode and lovely to see your talented young family. Well done on your finishes, intrigued to see what decorations will adorn the tree.

Loved seeing you and your Neice’s crafting, beautiful playing the bagpipes,amazing. Thank you for sharing

Lovely episode. My daughter was a dance student all her growing up years. One summer she took a weeklong workshop at University on Character Dance. Character Dance as well as almost all Ballets are stories portrayed through music and movement. Most appealing I think to those of us who love a good story. Your vintage books are amazing finds. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Helen your nieces enjoying crafting with you keeping are crafts alive for the next generation your niece did brilliant with her sock for first time and your other niece all the different designs you both did where amazing and then the bagpipes i think i would be like you but your niece is brilliant keeping old traditions alive ❤

Lovely lovely video.. bagpipes make me emotional lol..😊

Thank you for another lovely episode, Helen. Your nieces are very talented - just like their Auntie. Lovely to be able to spend time with each other doing enjoyable things. Thanks for sharing all your lovely makes. The tree looks really good. I am ripping out what I have done so far on the Simon Shawl - I keep making mistakes so going to do something which requires less concentration!! Hope you have a great week. x

Thank you for starting my morning with another wonderful podcast. I just printed the crochet tree to make for this year. I hope to find some yarn in my stash that will work. The bagpipes clip was wonderful. I hope Nell continues playing, she is very talented. The painted rocks were such a fun project for an afternoon. Such creative stones! Have a wonderful day!

Love your advent tree; can't wait to see the ornaments. And the gnome hat is perfect.

A perfect podcast, Helen! So many wonderful, creative ideas to think about. Thanks for sharing your time w the girls. I’m sure you got as much joy from being w them as we got from the video. Your dancing pictures remind me of the hollyhocks in my garden. 💕

Lovely video and the images from 1920 dance book are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing x

What talented nieces you have. And what a fantastic garden they have too. Love your tree and sheep. x

That was really lovely. Thank you.

Snaefrith is gorgeous! Maybe this Scotish girl needs a tartan skirt or cape? Again, another great podcast from you!

All your knitting projects turned out great. I prefer your gnome's hat to the original. Snaefrith is simply beautiful and a very very huggable size❤

Enjoyed your video so much today Helen. I think Snaefrith would suit a shawl (crossed over and pinned at the back) over her dungarees. She does have a very gentle face. Nell is a great wee piper! The teeth and bath lectures were so interesting, although I don’t think I’d be a fan of a cold bath in the morning 🥶 especially in a Scottish winter! The dancers were delightful, and the music was a perfect accompaniment. It did make me wonder if those girls were from well-to-do families though, with all those pretty costumes, or if the dance school provided them. Oh, and I nearly forgot the sock. She did so well, especially on dpns for a first go. I hope she continues to love sock knitting! 🧦🧦🧦 My granddaughter is showing an interest, and I’m so pleased, she has managed a pair of hand warmers, now she just needs to learn about heels and toes. 😅
