As promised, here are the "Ten Steps to Health" from my favorite mug:
1. Eat more vegetable than less meat
2. Take more vinegar than less salt
3. Eat more fruits than less sugar
4. Bite small and chew lot
5. Dress light and take in sunlight
6. Be active not talkative
7. Walk more than drive car
8. Give more and take less
9. Forget about worries and sleep tight
10. Laugh more than being angry
This mug and it's great advice makes me smile every time I use it! I hope you can get some enjoyment out of it, too!
Thanks for watching!

I would love more information on the history of different fabrics - their geographic origins, what they were originally used for, etc. I think it would be enough 'material' for separate videos for the history of different fabrics, instead of trying to fit it all in one video, simply because fiber and weave can be the same for many fabrics, but the history of one fabric with the same fiber and weave as another, could be completely different. I just bought 2 vintage textile books that I am reading to learn more about the fabrics that were around in the 1920's (no synthetics!) and the late 40's, and I would love to learn more about fabrics from other eras, too. And it's also funny how the same name of a fabric, can change meaning through the years. The muslin of a century ago isn't the same fabric that we call muslin today. Same with gingham. Fascinating! Anyway, love to learn the history of fabrics, as well as their properties.

Great points! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a thoughtful response. I will definitely keep what you said in mind when planning future videos!

I would be interested in a booklet with various twill fabric samples.

Fabric sample books can be very helpful! I have checked out a few of them, and haven't found one that I LOVE yet. If I find a good one, I'll be sure to recommend it!

This is just my opinion, but I specifically watch these to learn more about textiles, and if you were to go more in-depth on the history of things I would love that! I watch these when I know I have some time to truly digest them, not when I just want background noise, so longer or chattier fits the genre I think. You have so much knowledge to share and you have a soothing personality that makes it easy to learn from, thank you for putting your time, energy and heart into producing these! I also am not too fussed about what the background of your videos looks like, but on a side note, I will say I was very happy that you did not make slurping, swallowing or "ahhh" noises when you sipped your tea lol. I would still watch your videos if you did that, but I really hate it when I can hear people eating/drinking, especially on a video :D

Thanks for watching and for the feedback!! That is very helpful and I'll keep it in mind!
