Sleep is super important. Follow your bodies lead . Go to sleep at a reasonable hour and let body wake up naturally. You will be healthier in the long run and more productive. Love your vlogmas!
Hi Sandy! Just popping in to say... If you want to start a new hobby. Just do it. Don't wait, just do it. Jump in. we aren't promised a tomorrow.❤
Thanks, you are right!! I just don’t want to invest in everything and then feel guilty if it doesn’t get used. I need to make sure I’ll commit. 😊❤️
If you end up not being as committed as you think you will be, you can always sell everything at a discounted price to someone who might not be able to buy it at the full price. Which would be a gift in a way. I think you will enjoy weaving and will be totally committed. It is a peaceful process and so different from knitting. Trying something new is always so exciting. I hope you go for it. Life is short. @@bythelakeside
Amen ❤
@@bythelakesidesee if you can rent a loom and try it out. I was able to rent a rigid heddle loom from my guild for long enough to know I enjoyed it but didn't want another rabbit hole to go down!
Do what brings you joy. Pressure is no fun❤
I like that you use a cardboard template for your poject bags
Just started watching this episode. Is the new hobby, pottery? It’s a craft I have wanted to do for many years
If I was celebrating Christmas I would love to have a selection of mugs like you👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️
I do celebrate Christmas and I NEED a whole heap of mugs! 😂
Oh Glen 😂 Mr. Speedy!
If it's a loom well then jump in because I want to make scarves TOOOOO!!!! It will be so fun!
Yes, a rigid heddle loom! I want to make tablerunners!!
@@bythelakesideyou will love weaving. I purchased a used floor loom and have been enjoying it immensely.
I can’t wait to hear what your new hobby is going to be. I’m guessing weaving........... only because that is something that I’ve wanted to try for years!!! I love your rice cooker steamer!!! 🎄
So nice to peek into your knitting basket. It's always great to be inspired.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I was in a bit of a creative slump and this helped so much.
Absolutely Sandy. Your home-business comes first. You have a lot on your plate, so be kind to yourself. I love that Chelsea luxe skein that looks like a roosters tail feathers. 😊🎄🎄🎄🎄
Excited to hear you’ll have more holiday bags in the shop ❤️🤞
Always love the great pattern ideas you have!
Oh my goodness! I can’t express enough how much I enjoy watching your videos! I’m happy, I’m giddy just thinking of what this new craft your interested in could possibly be! Plus, I see cookie and tree project bags…I’m hoping to snag one of them!!😊
That scarf is so lovely...so many intriguing parts! I am feeling inspired by your enthusiasm for organizing your yarns and projects. I have so many things I want to make that my mind just races in circles!! Also, I have that rice cooker...love it! 😊😊
Sandy! I love how you put your yarns in basket for up coming projects! Great idea! I have a basket like that and I need to do that as my yarns are in bins and not really out for me to look at! Love them all that you picked! So good to see you excited about new ideas and projects!! It’s so much fun to be excited about things!! Best of luck!! Looking forward to more of your videos!!
Love your vlogs!!
Ooh I need one of those mug bags!
Enjoying your vlogmas episodes - catching up!! So a couple guesses: spinning yarn? Dying yarn? Hmmmm
I made same for dinner last night as you did. But I did mine all on a sheet pan. Yummy.
That scarf is a true work of art! So cozy and warm. Thank you for another day of inspiration!❤
My guess also is weaving, because you mentioned an initial outlay of money. You would be a good weaver; you have the intelligence and skill. Go for it, Sandy!
Thank you!!
What beautiful blue eyes which reminds me of my Mother’s❤️🙏! Enjoying my days spent with your vlogmas podcast❤️!
Thank you!
Love all the beautiful yarn. Scarf is one of a kind love it😢
That scarf looks really lovely on you!
Thank you!
Hi Sandy! If you have a wish to try a new craft, go ahead. I have been a textile artist my entire adult life. Knitting, spinning, hand weaving, mixed media and Papercrafts, and my personal favorite, sewing! Each medium offers different processes and creative decisions to enjoy. Have fun exploring your passions!
Maybe Glenn could use the small miter box for making picture frames? His response was pretty funny.
He picked it out and ordered it… he has a use for it but was just being silly. 😂
I found a new hat pattern, it’s not going to work with your bulky yarn but it’s beautiful , Empire State Hat from Camijo knits. I thought of you when I saw it!
Do you sew the leather bags also?? I see so many other knitters have your bags and they are so beautiful!
I started off making them but now have a local woman who sews them for me.
@@bythelakeside I’m also a sewer (sewist?) and I can’t imagine sewing leather. They are truly stunning!
The smart money is on WEAVING. Looms (plus a spinning wheel if you’re going all-in) are a lot of money, so it was a dead giveaway. Personally, it always seems like you’re in a quiet state of overwhelm. Very wise to sit on this idea (or whichever craft it is) for SEVERAL days. Putting more on one’s plate isn’t a good way to “carve out more time”, lol. I’m speaking as a person who starts new big projects when I have one …. ONE … afternoon that isn’t over-scheduled. It’s like my brain hates a vacuum. Those projects or schemes always remain in the back of a closet, unfinished.
Honestly, I am almost always overwhelmed (especially when I'm filming vlogmas or trying to squeeze in a UA-cam video). I think it's just part of being a small business owner that designs, makes, markets, packs, ships and films video content (and I have a son with special needs). It's always busy around here and making things is my peace. :) But sitting on the idea is definitely what I'm doing. I've wanted one for years, but we will see!
@@bythelakeside I’m so amazed at all that you do! Wonderful meals, making your family comfortable, running your business, creating UA-cam content…whoa! Wonder Woman! Sometimes when I want to incorporate something new into my life, I force myself to drop something else, or at least minimize it/be less thorough. And I also make an “appointment” to do it, eg actually write it in my agenda, maybe only biweekly eg: “Sat 2-4 pm practice ukulele” and then put it on the fridge calendar too, so EVERYONE knows and tries to stay out of your hair ; ) There are only 24 hrs in a day (last time I googled it!), and I have a saying, “I’m like a cookie…I can only slice myself into so many pieces before I CRUMBLE!” Good luck in dreaming up your 2024 plans🥰 The lovely thing is that you feel that love of life and enthusiasm to actually dream. There are so many people who feel too blue to look up at the stars.
Thank you! You understand what it's like....I think it's the life of a crafter and maker. So many ideas and plans. I also am a big fan of blocking time, sounds like you do the same. I do not feel like a wonder woman, and these videos really cram a lot of life's highlights into them. :) I appreciate your kind comment and sharing what works for you.

What is the website for the scarf’s maker?
Link to Melanated Boho Bae is in the description box.
Hmmm woven scarf! Could your new hobby be weaving? I love weaving it’s very repetitive and your arms get a work out. It’s also addictive and the equipment takes up a lot of space...But so worth it! I hope your new hobby is weaving. Can always start with a small table loom. Yes I hope it’s weaving.
Okay, this may sound really off the wall but...How do you drink coffee and even still at 4:30 pm and have beautiful white teeth? I drink two cups in the morning and I can tell my teeth are beginning to show it. It is bothering me so much that when I see people with beautiful white teeth I wonder if they drink coffee or tea and if so, what is their secret for keeping their teeth so white?
Oh, I don’t know! I work from home and always brush my teeth when I wake up and again after my breakfast and coffee because I hate the feeling afterwards.
A loom? I want one too.😊
Yes, a rigid heddle loom!! I have one in the cart right now. 😂
I feel like you. I'd love to go down the weaving path but don't want the loom to feel neglected 😂. Which loom is in your cart? I was looking at the knitters loom. I took a class a few years ago and I really enjoyed it. Can't wait to hear your decision.
@@bythelakeside although I think the knitters loom is only 12 inches. I think a wider one is better.
@@DanaBarbieri I’m looking at a rigid heddle table loom that is 32” wide
Spinning? Oh I'm so curious....
Or weaving....
YESSSS!!!!!! :)
Not spinning, no.
Jump down that rabbit hole. 😊
