Happy Thanksgiving, friends! I'm so grateful you stopped by today. I hope you have a restful weekend with family and friends ahead of you. I've had a busier-than-normal month and I'm feeling a little like some of my projects have collapsed due to silly mistakes. It's so easy to do if you're tired or distracted, right? Today I talk about patience, taking care of yourself, and picking up the piec...

    Hi Sally, your concerns are what I'm concerned about. My grandson had ADHD, IEPs in school etc. I would hate to see those options be taken away. And health insurance is so important not just for your generation but for we who are on Medicare. Worries are on my mind a lot. But I also accept that we are all different and all think differently. That's what America is all about. Good luck with everything. Can only say hang in their. Now I'm going to watch the rest of your video

I try to keep a project going and have it on my table next to my chair. I'm glad you take the time to do flosstube. I appreciate you. As long as my kitchen and bathroom are clean, and I have a load of laundry in the works, I'm good. I'm 75 years old . I want to stitch! Lol

    Hi. My granddaughter also made the crocheted market bag and I lined it for her with some cotton fabric. It wasn’t difficult to do, and we felt like it would help keep things that might otherwise fall through contained.

    Good for you for expressing your concerns about the future of special education. Too many people are afraid to speak up. I have a young couple with a baby that lives across the street from me. Both are Special Ed teachers but they had trump signs in their front yard. I don't get it. Let's pray that it's just another lie that MAGA is so good at spreading. BTW...I was raised in Bay City but left in 1975. Now that I'm widowed, I'm hoping to move back to my hometown. When I was a kid, my parents always took a drive to Midland to see the Christmas lights, especially at Dow Chemical. I'm glad I grew up when I did. You do a good job with your channel. Don't change :)

      Thanks for watching - I’m doing my best to be an advocate for my son and others in similar circumstances. Special education has greatly improved his wellbeing and I’m optimistic we can still push forward. I’m glad you commented and hope you make it back to the area soon. Lovely place to call home!

    I enjoy your videos so much! Chatty and unhurried, inspirational words about JOY and politically encouraging without focusing on a particular party. Thank you for the great tip when using fuzzy floss with one leg of the stitch DMC. Your sweater is gorgeous. I have had very good success using gussets in sewing. I'm anxious to see how that goes in knitting. Your knitting is beautiful. I'm struggling with my current crochet project - and amigurumi octopus, mostly because the yarn splits and it's cotton and so hard to get the hook into the stitches - so I can sympathize. I love the color of your bag - and I'm sure it will bring you joy every time you use it. Looking forward to next time! Hugs

    Best flosstube ever! I needed this today but I'm still terrified to what is happening in this country. I feel like there is a black cloud following me around and it scares me so much! Anyway, your flosstube brought me joy today Sally!

      Thank you for watching and commenting, Tammy! I’m trying to hold onto joy too, but it is a struggle. I’m really looking forward to connecting with friends in the near (and not as near) future and I’m VERY excited for the retreats next year. Hang in there!

    Hi Sally, Your post was just what I needed this morning! Focussing on joy can insulate us from fear and give us space to breathe. I supported Pete in the last election and hope to see him run again soon. His calm, reasoned, unflappable approach to difficult issues is one I hope to be able to emulate. I vote for the.shawl because I love the colors!

      Thank you for your kind words - I'm so glad I could help! I'm going to sleep for a million minutes this weekend and try to finish my badger! I hope you get some time for joy, too. Hang in there (I’m hanging in there)!

    I have 3 pieces I'm focusing on, that's it, because I want to finish my pieces and not have them for years as wips.

      I get that, Sonia, and you have my admiration. I flit around like a little butterfly. Oh well, all in good fun! Hope you have loads of stitching time in your near future!

    I am so glad your channel popped up on my feed. I loved hearing about your joy moments and your message of the importance of voting. Not to mention all the projects! I am a crocheter so I am voting for the cute crochet blanket for the yarn project. The bag is so cute. Having so many hobbies is a struggle, isn’t it? I’m a quilter, cross stitcher, crocheter and a wannabe knitter. You influenced me to sign up for the jingle ball! Praying for your family as you provide loving care for your son. ❤

      Thanks Michelle! I woke up feeling scared this morning and I’m going to do my best to lean into joy. I think I might go for a nature walk. Taking my own advice is hard sometimes! I’m thinking of you and hope things are sunny in NM today.

    Boy, that's a tough choice. I think I would finish up the knit shawl first. The unicorn stripe scarf yarn is yummy!!

    • @SallyStitchesAnd
      @SallyStitchesAnd Місяць тому

      It is tough, isn’t it? I’m leaning toward the shawl today. I think if I weave in all those loose ends I’ll feel a lot more motivated. Thanks so much for watching my video and commenting. You bring me joy!

    Hi Sally! I really, really love your videos and I hope more people check you out:) I have many crafts on the go because they bring me joy. I honestly don't know what I would do without my crafts. Your work is lovely. I say work on the crochet but will be happy no matter what road you choose. And, by the way, I think you are an awesome mom. 💙💙
