My heart is breaking for you and your family. Thank you for sharing all of your furry family members with us. You are such great caregivers for them. What you did for Lillian was the sweetest thing I have ever heard. I hope you know that any time your videos pop up, many of us are so excited to spend time with you. Big hugs to you and your family!
So lovely to see you back here! You have been greatly missed but we all understand why you weren’t able to. Oh my hasn’t Ian grown, just love his innocent face!!! Love your new fabrics and can’t wait to see how you use them all. Have preordered a child of Darren ! A good home awaits! You are very brave in sharing about Dennis and I think all of us that follow you have grown to love all your animals and cried with you when you told us. We laugh and cry and are here for youxx
Lovely to see you Paula. You always cheer me up. I have lost my lovely mum very recently who was very creative like you. I miss her so much. I have bought one of your bags and well second one. Mum always admired your work. Thank you for all your videos x
Hi Paula, lovely to be spending some time with you again. I'm so sorry about Dennis I know how heartbreaking it is to lose a furbaby but you did the right thing it wouldn't be fair to keep him if he can't run and do doggy things it is so much kinder to let him go and very brave of you to share his story with us. With Etsy I suspect they withhold money because some people have sold goods and then not sent them so they hold the money to protect the customers from scammers and it will be a standard rule for all. Annoying for the honest sellers. Looking forward to your vlogs xx
I am so very sorry about the loss of your dog! Age doesn't matter, it's always sad. I am relieved to hear he didn't suffer for long. I hope your heart mends a little...
Oh yes we are still all here I’m sure across the world in support of you Why because you are a very special podcaster/ vlogger I’m loving your latest auction haul oh so interesting to see your creations We all feel 💔 for you over Denis but as Maude has written grief is the price we pay for love & hard decision you made is for all the unconditional love Denis gave 🐾🐾🥰
Paula, I received the large velvet peacock bag today here in California. It is by far the most beautiful project bag in my approximately 20 bag collection. Your work is outstanding. I cried with you when you were talking about Dennis. The loss of a beloved pet is a pain like no other. I also cremate my pets and keep their ashes-I can’t seem to let go. I watch all your videos to the end; I wouldn’t dream of cutting them short.
Awww Paula, I am so so sorry for your loss. He was such a lovely dog, I do understand exactly how you feel. They are a big part of your family and are greatly missed when they leave us. ❤xxx
It was very nice to have you back. You have been missed. You and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers ever since I heard of the loss of your beloved Dennis. I wish I could send you a hug. I, for one, would love to have daily "Stitched by Mrs D." vlogs, I love to see what you are up to. All of your wips and completed items are beautiful and may say how beautiful the Ziggy Shawl is! Your mom is very lucky! I am looking forward to seeing your future bags created with all of that beautiful fabric! Take care!❤
Loved all your knitting and crochet loveliness and your fabrics are gorgeous as always, particularly those rather heavenly vintage embroidered ones, lush. So very, very sad to hear that you’ve lost your little buddy Dennis, he will leave a huge gap in your family, so heartbreaking. Take care lovely lady 🧶🧵🌷
Aw Paula, I remember having to make a similar decision for my mum’s dog - thank you for sharing and I’m glad you have lots of lovely memories 😊😊 trust Ian tho 😅😅 Darren is very funny 😂xx
It is with tears rolling down my face that I write this little note of condolences on the sad loss of Dennis the Dog! I loved his character on each and every vlog and I shall miss him too! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do mid April to mid May vlogs, it would be just so lovely and take care!
I totally understand your heartbreak. So sweet to care for your other animals like that. Our beloved cat Ziggy died in my arms a week ago tomorrow. He was the best cat ever - likely right up there with Kim and Ian. Only had him for 3 1/2 years and he just captured our hearts from day one. I find myself in the big, big tear moments like you shared here regularly. Big hugs to you and your family as you navigate these hard days.
Oh Paula I just want to give you a great big hug. You’ve been so brave telling us about poor Dennis. You couldn’t have done any more for him. You take good care of yourself love Doreen xxx.
I have missed you, but knew when you felt better you’d return. You know your subbies love and understand your grief. I’ve been there, and I share your grief. Thank you for returning. You are such a beautiful knitter, sewist and your crochet is lovely too. I’m not surprised you can play your stringed instrument. I bet you can also paint! You have made me want to make a scrappy blanket and a shawl. Lol. I have the yarn in my stash, that is for certain. I will look forward to your Spring vlog. I do love them so much. By the way, I love the longer length of your podcasts! Just more to enjoy. Take care of yourself until we meet again. ❤
Hi Paula, I’m so sorry you’ve lost your beloved Dennis, I feel very sad for you. He would have had a very happy life with you and your family. I love your videos, you always make me laugh. ❤
Oh Paula, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. It's so hard when you lose a pet, they are very much part of the family. I have three dogs and my chocolate lab is 11yrs and is failing now. I dread the day when her legs go . I'm glad you and your family were able to get the time to say goodbye to Dennis and you have him back at home . Thinking of you all. I totally get what you said, I did nursing too . I love your dress its lovely and the orange buttons set it off. I think it's great that James has his own stash for his socks too. The colours in your blanket are gorgeous, love the green Xx
Lovely to see you back, you have been missed. Fully understand why you haven't been recording. Ian is such a handsome boy, you give all your animals so much love, its lovely to watch your videos 😊
Oh Paula. Bless you…it’s heartbreaking and something that I dread. They are more than just dogs to us, they are part of our families. Sending you a virtual hug. Take care of yourself 💕 x
Lovely to see you back with some beautiful makes. I'm sat here crying along with you about Dennis 💜 but the bits about Ian lightening the mood did make me chuckle. Looking forward to the vlogs 😊
Paula, I knew the moment you began the video that you had a bad headache. I could see it in your eyes. Hoping the medication worked quickly for you. Thank you for spending time with us ❤
Thank you for being so brave and telling us about Dennis. He loved all of you 😢and you loved him😊. I live in a sheltered complex of 90 homes and it seems like we are always losing someone. But as most of us were retirement age when we came here it will seem like it happens more than in the "real world". So like you say when you get pets at similar time there will become a time when they start to leave us. I hope you can always remember the love and happy times you had together. I have just purchased one of your Froggy babes for my friend who is besotted by frogs. So I am very happy🎉😊. Enjoy your Easter break with your family, then a mid month vlog sounds great. That way the vlogs are spread out a bit, because when they are all at once you cannot watch them all. Love to you all. ❤️ 🐔🐓🥚🐣🐥🐥🐤🐇🐇🐇🐰 xxxxxx
So sorry for your loss of Dennis, its so obvious to those of us who watch how much love you have for your pets. I was crying alongside you. I've been thinking about ordering the pixie yarn club for ages. You enabled me order placed this morning 😂 Hopefully see you mid month for some vlogs! If not you definitely have to vlog the coronation weekend. xx
Lovely Paula don’t ever be sorry about feeling sad. You are so honest and sincere about everything and we all love your pet friends as much as you do. I lost my beloved dog Jayson on 31st March last year. His back legs went and he had had a massive stroke. He was a jack Russell and a brilliant character. I kept two of his very favourite toys (teddies) that sit on my bed. Don’t be too heartbroken, remember all the lovely times. Take care and it was lovely to see you - you have been missed. The little frogs are cute. X Happy Easter ❤
I'm sorry to hear about Dennis. All those lovely memories you have of him, you wouldn't want him suffering, he had a lovely life with you . I'm happy to see your gorgeous knitting & all your other bits n bobs chin up. See you on your next podcast. Enjoy your chocolate.
So sorry about Dennis. It is the saddest thing when we have to do this. You have done everything right and you know in your heart that he had the most wonderful life possible with you. Also it is not OK for people to be rude to you when they can’t get your items for sale. What is wrong with these people? We’ve all been disappointed at some point but no need to be rude and unpleasant. Lovely video Paula and bring on more when you can xx
💐 My heart is with you!!! These little precious people are human to us and we mourn them as they are one of our families. When my husband and I had to put one of our cats to sleep at the vets a few years ago, they had to send us out the back door because we were bawling our heads off! Our dog, a Cairyn Terrier, is 9 years old, our oldest cat is 9 years old, and I know the day is coming🥲. Our youngest cat is 2 years old and is the spitting image of Ian!!! 😁. I am in love with her as you are with Ian! She showed up in our back yard as a 9 week old baby😁❤️. She came to us as I was in a very bad emotional state over a family member. I believe that she was sent to me! 🤗. I absolutely love hearing you visit with us any amount of time that you have. It is a great comfort to me. Thank you! ❤️🤗😊🌸🐶😻
I'm so sorry about poor Dennis. It's so hard when we lose a beloved pet. I bought two of your bags off your kofi shop. They are soooooooooo beautiful. I'm so thrilled I finally got a couple. Thank you for your time with us. I love your podcasts!
Hi Paula, I have missed your company, as always it’s a pleasure to spend time with you, so sorry you have had such a difficult time, so sad to hear of you losing Dennis, all off your animal family have a wonderful life with you, sending you a big hug 🤗 Suze. 🥰 x
Oh, Paula, I'm so sad to hear about poor Dennis, but like most people have said you care deeply about all your family, either people or furbabies. Thinking of you. Lovely material that you have got, very spring/summer colours. xx
Lovely to see you back Paula. I am so sorry your Dennis has had to leave you. I seem to remember you were concerned about him a while back. You are having a bad time with losing your fur babies. You can have the ashes put into a paper weight. They do some real beautiful ones. Did you eat too much chocolate Paula and gave yourself a headache 🤔. Please do some vlogs and bring James into them 😊. Happy Easter❤❤
Thank you for a lovely episode Paula and thank you for telling us about beautiful Dennis. I cried with you it’s so hard when we lose one of our fur family. I loved the way you let Lillian know Dennis had passed away such a beautiful and kind thing to do xxx
It's such a pleasure to see you again,.. I sure enjoy watching all your beautiful projects,... I'm so sorry to hear about the lost of your pet,. It's so heart breaking 😭😥 ,.. just think on all the good memories you had with them,.. that will stay in your heart forever,.. they won't be forgotten,...

Of course I had a cup of coffee,.. I should fix me a cup of hot tea..👍☺️😁♥️. Happy Knitting.... Can't wait until you come back.... 👍☺️😁😘💕🥰🙂😊. Happy Easter......💕
Hi Paula, Im so sorry to hear about Dennis, what a lovely chap he was. Its so nice to listen to you talk about your animals and family with such love. I had to put my 13 yr old schnauzer to sleep around the same time as you said goodbye to Dennis, I think its one of the hardest decisions we have to make in life. I wish their life spans were much longer than they are, a friend once told me that pets live such short lives to help us learn and then teach children about grief... Im not sure if thats true, but I think I agree. Anyway, Im so glad to see you back and to hear all your other news. How lovely that the weather is warming up and the guinea pigs will be out in the sunshine soon. We are heading into winter here in Sydney but is still in the 20's so Im enjoying it while it lasts.
Oh! Sweetheart I feel your pain, it's so awful to loose a beloved pet. I had my wee cat Tiger for 20 years and even though I now have Missy the hole is still in my heart that Tiger left will never be filled. Take care ❤
Never be sorry to be You! It is so sad for Dennis. Thank you very muchfor this nice podcast. How your handkerchiefs and table clothes are beautiful!! Have a great week. 🌷🌸. Ludivine rose
Lovely to see you back, and so sorry about Denis. Saying goodbye to a much loved pet is heartbreaking. I have a Folksy shop and love it, you should have given it a go! I like the idea I'm supporting a UK business. Take care and hope to see you again soon. x
Sending light and love and healing energy to you and your family. This is my first time watching and I love your work and you have the most lovely personality. I look forward to watching more of your podcasts. J xo
Sorry for you loss of Dennis Paula. It’s hard to say goodbye to our pets, they love us unconditionally. I’m single and don’t have kids and my two birds are my life. I want a dog desperately but I’m going to wait until I retire. I love your videos and watched to the very end.
OH Paula, Such lovey fabrics you got from the auction. I do love those kinds of auction finds. And I love all the socks you make! So sorry to hear about Dennis, my heart breaks for you> hugs and love.
So sorry Paula, he was such a sweet dog and he was blessed to live with you and your family. You have such lovely memories of him. Love your fabrics, hopefully I’ll manage to get one this time lol, I was a bit slow but I did get the teddy bear so I was thrilled and she’s now very happy with her new friends. Your knitting projects are gorgeous and had to get that pixie yarn club you showed the colours are gorgeous. Have a lovely Easter, stay safe love and hugs xx xx
Oh sweet Paula…I’m so sorry, it’s never easy having to make that decision for them.. we had to do it for my dear, sweet Ludi… my black Labrador ( my constant companion for 15 years, bless him and it was absolutely the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make!) I know now, that it was the right decision for him but at the time, it seemed impossible. They take a part of our hearts with them and I’m sure that keeps us close to them. You did the best for him and for Lilian ❤️I love spending a bit of time with you, Thank you for sharing all you do with us. Sending love and a big hug! Becx
God bless Dennis. They are always going to break your heart aren't they. You know when you get them as puppies that they will go before you, but you do it anyway. You give them all your love and spoil them rotten and give them the best life you can for as long as you can and then you have to let them go. It's the last act of love you can do for them knowing they can't do it for themselves. I'm sure he's found Kim and they are snuggled up on a cloud. Love to you and the family Paula.
It’s always so hard when one of our precious animals passes. So sorry to hear about Dennis. I would so enjoy them if you decided to do mid-April to mid-May vlogs. Your videos are a bright spot on the old UA-cam.
Paula, Darren is so charming.! Loved his voice. So sorry for your loss. Please don’t say sorry. Love to all the family and looking forward to seeing the lovely bags you will make with that beautiful fabric.
Sending you all so much love and hugs, little Dennis was a character bless him 💙Loving all of your makes since your last podcast, your Mum's shawl is stunning. Your cosy stripe blanket is looking gorgeous too 💚 Just a little idea as you're using the same colour yarn between the colour sections, you could carry your white yarn up the side of these, will save time weaving those ends in 😁 Take care and hopefully see you soon xx
So very sorry for your loss. Dennis had the very best life with you all, but I know you are hurting right now. So lovely to see your video again, hope you do vlogs soon. Take care, sending love & hugs to you all. RIP sweet darling Dennis 🐾🐾😿💔🐾🐾🐾 Enjoy Easter 🐰🐣🍫 xx
Thank you for being back Paula 💜 - I’m so sorry to hear about Dennis! Lots of love to all of you and all the 4 legged furry ones! As for Darren, he’s okay I suppose, I hope he learns some manners - I’m sure his children will be much better behaved! 😁💜😁
Paula, I am so happy to see you and also so sad about Dennis. I would have thought the exact same thing if it had been me (how to care for him). All your pets live lovely lives as members of your family and are very lucky. Darren is delightful 😀 and your haul of linens is wonderful. Can't wait to see what you will be making! Best wishes from Vermont, Susannah
Was very happy to see your podcast pop up today! I'm so sorry to hear about Dennis, he had a lovely life with your family. Darrin is quite a character and made me laugh lol ❤
Aww Paula….I’ve been building up to watching this as knew you’d be talking about wee Dennis. It was funny about Ian though. I’m waiting on confirmation of a grim diagnosis for my cat and, like you,I’m devastated. We’ve just got to take comfort about the good lives they’ve had being in a loving home . Take care ❤
Awww I’m so heartbroken for you and the family 😢 our fur babies take up such a big part of our heart and home - it’s hard when it’s their time to leave - thank goodness for Ian getting you to laugh when your heart was breaking xx
I'm so sorry for your heartache. I find the loss of a pet harder to deal with than the loss of a human - I think it's the innocence of the animals that makes it harder to bear the loss. This was a lovely long catch-up, I've missed you. I keep all my sock leftovers because we tend to wear out the sole of socks long before the rest of it, and I knit top down, so I just frog back to past the hole and reknit the foot & toe with the leftover yarn - it doubles the life of the socks and I don't have to knit all that ribbing 😆 When a sock wears out a second time but the leg/ankle is still in good condition, I will frog back to the gusset and reknit the foot with a different yarn, or even a bunch of scraps. I've got a huge collection of vintage table linens, doilies and handkerchief's including many that were embroidered or tatted by my mum and grannies - one day I will make a quilt from them, one day when I can bear to take the scissors to them. I look forward to your next update.
So lovely to see you again ❤ lots of beautiful handwork and the jumper will be great on you as all you knits are 👍🏻🤗 I hope we see you soon again 🌺🌸🌷. I’m so , so sorry for all of you for the loss of Dennis , I’m crying with you , that’s really hard when we loose a sweet family member 😞 I can see he had a lovely life with lots of care , attention, treats, petting and kisses and good company ❤he will alway be in you heart with a lot of sweet memories, I’m sure he’s up in the sky playing , barking and running with a lot of friends ⭐️🌈
It’s so nice to see you back! So very sorry about good boy Dennis! So sorry! I had a very similar experience with my beloved cat Cora! She was my best friend for almost 17 years and a force to be reckoned with for sure! She had what I thought was a minor but manageable issue but the vet said no, it isn’t at all! I had to make the same decision! That was 8 years ago and I still miss her! Her ashes will be with me always!
Oh so excited... I have been worried you weren't well Paula. Soon as I have time I shall relax with a cuppa and my knitting and enjoy your company. Bliss xx you feel like a friend for so many of us. 😂Just finished the video Paula. Sending hugs for you all. Our pets are very precious. ❤
Hello Paula I was So Happy to see your New Podcast notification. Love All your new knits and Thank You for showing your new Crochet Blanket by Lucy of Attic 24, it’s going to be Lovely 🌈I started a Solid Granny Square Blanket but I’m already getting Inpatient with making the squares so I’ve decided to frog them and start the same pattern using my 2022 Advents. Thank You for sharing about Denise, I can Certainly Relate…Your Pets are Very Lucky to Have Such a Beautiful Family That Cares For Them like You Do. Take Care xx ❤ Had a little chuckle when you were talking about Down Below! 😂 I’m a recently Retired Nurse so I knew what you were referring too 😂
So sorry Paula. It’s easy to see how much you love your pets. They have a wonderful life with your family. And to abruptly change, I love your new fabrics. My favorite to date. April 15 is a special day in the US. Our taxes are due then and it is always such a relief to have that behind us. Good tIme to start a blog. Much love to youPaula
oh Paula - what a heartbreak. it really tears us up, doesn't it? you had me really blubbering here, but it was also wonderful to see you back. Take care 💕
Hugs to you all Paula xx Darren is cute and cheeky. Mid April - May vlogs would be amazing Paula. Lovely makes as always. I’ve been collecting vintage table cloths to reuse as EPP hexies for hot water bottle covers. I haven’t started yet but it’s on my forever growing list. Xxx😊
Oh Paula so sad to hear about your beautiful boy again. Such a lovely boy and he was well loved. I still have my last cats ashes so totally understand that. Beautiful things and the frog so cute - big hugs and hope we see you again soon, take care x❤
Dear Paula bless you it's so sad to loose a fury friend we have cats and its awful when you take them to the vets and thay tell you thay can't do know more for them 😢 I've come home in floods of tears there our baby's thank you for the vlog nice to see you again x
Lovely to see you again on UA-cam. I thought you were so brave talking about Dennis, he was a darling doggie. I love seeing all your projects it makes me want to get better and finish my projects, I’m having treatment for AML (leukaemia) at the moment so the heart is willing but the body not so much. Keep up the good work hope to see you soon on UA-cam ❤
Oh Paula, just remember what your beloved Queen Elizabeth said, "grief is the price we pay for love"
My heart is breaking for you and your family. Thank you for sharing all of your furry family members with us. You are such great caregivers for them. What you did for Lillian was the sweetest thing I have ever heard. I hope you know that any time your videos pop up, many of us are so excited to spend time with you. Big hugs to you and your family!
So lovely to see you back here! You have been greatly missed but we all understand why you weren’t able to. Oh my hasn’t Ian grown, just love his innocent face!!! Love your new fabrics and can’t wait to see how you use them all. Have preordered a child of Darren ! A good home awaits! You are very brave in sharing about Dennis and I think all of us that follow you have grown to love all your animals and cried with you when you told us. We laugh and cry and are here for youxx
I am so sorry for you, James and your kiddos for the loss of Dennis. Never ever easy. 💔😢❤️❤️❤️
😢Oh Paula, I am so very sorry that you lost your sweet Dennis. It hurts so much to lose a beloved pet.
Lovely to see you Paula. You always cheer me up. I have lost my lovely mum very recently who was very creative like you. I miss her so much. I have bought one of your bags and well second one. Mum always admired your work. Thank you for all your videos x
Joy, Joy Paula is here, adding to my Easter Joy.
Ian is the first cat I’ve ever seen that had brown pads. I found that very fascinating he has grown big.
Hi Paula, lovely to be spending some time with you again. I'm so sorry about Dennis I know how heartbreaking it is to lose a furbaby but you did the right thing it wouldn't be fair to keep him if he can't run and do doggy things it is so much kinder to let him go and very brave of you to share his story with us. With Etsy I suspect they withhold money because some people have sold goods and then not sent them so they hold the money to protect the customers from scammers and it will be a standard rule for all.

I'm so sorry for your loss. The important thing is that Dennis knew that he was SO loved.

Everything you have finished is glorious. I want raspberry ripple ice cream now. Love Darren the frog
Oh Paula. Bless you…it’s heartbreaking and something that I dread. They are more than just dogs to us, they are part of our families. Sending you a virtual hug. Take care of yourself 💕 x
Lovely to see you back with some beautiful makes.
I'm sat here crying along with you about Dennis 💜 but the bits about Ian lightening the mood did make me chuckle.

I like your mug.

Thank you for being so brave and telling us about Dennis. He loved all of you 😢and you loved him😊.
I live in a sheltered complex of 90 homes and it seems like we are always losing someone.

I have just purchased one of your Froggy babes for my friend who is besotted by frogs. So I am very happy🎉😊.
Enjoy your Easter break with your family, then a mid month vlog sounds great. That way the vlogs are spread out a bit, because when they are all at once you cannot watch them all.
Love to you all. ❤️ 🐔🐓🥚🐣🐥🐥🐤🐇🐇🐇🐰

I kept two of his very favourite toys (teddies) that sit on my bed. Don’t be too heartbroken, remember all the lovely times.
Take care and it was lovely to see you - you have been missed. The little frogs are cute. X Happy Easter ❤
I'm sorry to hear about Dennis. All those lovely memories you have of him, you wouldn't want him suffering, he had a lovely life with you . I'm happy to see your gorgeous knitting & all your other bits n bobs chin up. See you on your next podcast. Enjoy your chocolate.
So sorry about Dennis. It is the saddest thing when we have to do this. You have done everything right and you know in your heart that he had the most wonderful life possible with you. Also it is not OK for people to be rude to you when they can’t get your items for sale. What is wrong with these people? We’ve all been disappointed at some point but no need to be rude and unpleasant. Lovely video Paula and bring on more when you can xx
Hi Paula, so glad you are back! 😊 I am so sorry to hear about Dennis 😢
💐 My heart is with you!!! These little precious people are human to us and we mourn them as they are one of our families. When my husband and I had to put one of our cats to sleep at the vets a few years ago, they had to send us out the back door because we were bawling our heads off! Our dog, a Cairyn Terrier, is 9 years old, our oldest cat is 9 years old, and I know the day is coming🥲. Our youngest cat is 2 years old and is the spitting image of Ian!!! 😁. I am in love with her as you are with Ian! She showed up in our back yard as a 9 week old baby😁❤️. She came to us as I was in a very bad emotional state over a family member. I believe that she was sent to me! 🤗. I absolutely love hearing you visit with us any amount of time that you have. It is a great comfort to me. Thank you! ❤️🤗😊🌸🐶😻
I'm so sorry about poor Dennis. It's so hard when we lose a beloved pet.
I bought two of your bags off your kofi shop. They are soooooooooo beautiful. I'm so thrilled I finally got a couple. Thank you for your time with us. I love your podcasts!
So lovely to see you back. I was crying and laughing with you xx

Oh, Paula, I'm so sad to hear about poor Dennis, but like most people have said you care deeply about all your family, either people or furbabies. Thinking of you. Lovely material that you have got, very spring/summer colours. xx
I watched to the end, as always. Had a cry along with you. But, still had a lovely time.
Lovely to see you back Paula so sorry about Dennis😔 love all the fabulous fabrics ❤️
Lovely to see you back Paula. I am so sorry your Dennis has had to leave you. I seem to remember you were concerned about him a while back. You are having a bad time with losing your fur babies. You can have the ashes put into a paper weight. They do some real beautiful ones.
Did you eat too much chocolate Paula and gave yourself a headache 🤔. Please do some vlogs and bring James into them 😊. Happy Easter❤❤
Thank you for a lovely episode Paula and thank you for telling us about beautiful Dennis. I cried with you it’s so hard when we lose one of our fur family. I loved the way you let Lillian know Dennis had passed away such a beautiful and kind thing to do xxx

Hi Paula, Im so sorry to hear about Dennis, what a lovely chap he was. Its so nice to listen to you talk about your animals and family with such love. I had to put my 13 yr old schnauzer to sleep around the same time as you said goodbye to Dennis, I think its one of the hardest decisions we have to make in life. I wish their life spans were much longer than they are, a friend once told me that pets live such short lives to help us learn and then teach children about grief... Im not sure if thats true, but I think I agree. Anyway, Im so glad to see you back and to hear all your other news. How lovely that the weather is warming up and the guinea pigs will be out in the sunshine soon. We are heading into winter here in Sydney but is still in the 20's so Im enjoying it while it lasts.
So sorry for your loss. It's never easy to lose a family member.
Sorry for your loss! I enjoyed all your needlework, everything was beautiful!
Oh! Sweetheart I feel your pain, it's so awful to loose a beloved pet. I had my wee cat Tiger for 20 years and even though I now have Missy the hole is still in my heart that Tiger left will never be filled. Take care ❤
So sorry for your loss 💔 but glad you have so many happy memories with Dennis 🥰 xx
Never be sorry to be You! It is so sad for Dennis. Thank you very muchfor this nice podcast. How your handkerchiefs and table clothes are beautiful!! Have a great week. 🌷🌸. Ludivine rose
Lovely to see you back, and so sorry about Denis. Saying goodbye to a much loved pet is heartbreaking. I have a Folksy shop and love it, you should have given it a go! I like the idea I'm supporting a UK business. Take care and hope to see you again soon. x
Sending light and love and healing energy to you and your family. This is my first time watching and I love your work and you have the most lovely personality. I look forward to watching more of your podcasts. J xo
Also I love the fraggles and especially the tune, grew up with it
Sorry for you loss of Dennis Paula. It’s hard to say goodbye to our pets, they love us unconditionally. I’m single and don’t have kids and my two birds are my life. I want a dog desperately but I’m going to wait until I retire. I love your videos and watched to the very end.
OH Paula, Such lovey fabrics you got from the auction. I do love those kinds of auction finds. And I love all the socks you make! So sorry to hear about Dennis, my heart breaks for you> hugs and love.
I thoroughly love your channel. From Virginia Beach USA
Ian is all grow up! Hehe! 🤣🐾
Love the frog-teddies! Really nice.
So sorry Paula, he was such a sweet dog and he was blessed to live with you and your family. You have such lovely memories of him. Love your fabrics, hopefully I’ll manage to get one this time lol, I was a bit slow but I did get the teddy bear so I was thrilled and she’s now very happy with her new friends. Your knitting projects are gorgeous and had to get that pixie yarn club you showed the colours are gorgeous. Have a lovely Easter, stay safe love and hugs xx xx
Oh sweet Paula…I’m so sorry, it’s never easy having to make that decision for them.. we had to do it for my dear, sweet Ludi… my black Labrador ( my constant companion for 15 years, bless him and it was absolutely the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make!) I know now, that it was the right decision for him but at the time, it seemed impossible. They take a part of our hearts with them and I’m sure that keeps us close to them. You did the best for him and for Lilian ❤️I love spending a bit of time with you, Thank you for sharing all you do with us. Sending love and a big hug! Becx
God bless Dennis. They are always going to break your heart aren't they. You know when you get them as puppies that they will go before you, but you do it anyway. You give them all your love and spoil them rotten and give them the best life you can for as long as you can and then you have to let them go. It's the last act of love you can do for them knowing they can't do it for themselves. I'm sure he's found Kim and they are snuggled up on a cloud. Love to you and the family Paula.
It’s always so hard when one of our precious animals passes. So sorry to hear about Dennis. I would so enjoy them if you decided to do mid-April to mid-May vlogs. Your videos are a bright spot on the old UA-cam.
😀💕xx hugs to you all Paula. All my love and a very happy Easter 🐣🥰
Paula, Darren is so charming.! Loved his voice. So sorry for your loss. Please don’t say sorry. Love to all the family and looking forward to seeing the lovely bags you will make with that beautiful fabric.
Sending you all so much love and hugs, little Dennis was a character bless him 💙Loving all of your makes since your last podcast, your Mum's shawl is stunning. Your cosy stripe blanket is looking gorgeous too 💚 Just a little idea as you're using the same colour yarn between the colour sections, you could carry your white yarn up the side of these, will save time weaving those ends in 😁 Take care and hopefully see you soon xx
So very sorry for your loss. Dennis had the very best life with you all, but I know you are hurting right now. So lovely to see your video again, hope you do vlogs soon. Take care, sending love & hugs to you all. RIP sweet darling Dennis 🐾🐾😿💔🐾🐾🐾 Enjoy Easter 🐰🐣🍫 xx
All your material is beautiful and all your knitting and sewing.
It is heartbreaking to make the decision to put your pet to sleep ❤
Thank you for being back Paula 💜 - I’m so sorry to hear about Dennis! Lots of love to all of you and all the 4 legged furry ones!
As for Darren, he’s okay I suppose, I hope he learns some manners - I’m sure his children will be much better behaved! 😁💜😁
Paula, I am so happy to see you and also so sad about Dennis. I would have thought the exact same thing if it had been me (how to care for him). All your pets live lovely lives as members of your family and are very lucky. Darren is delightful 😀 and your haul of linens is wonderful. Can't wait to see what you will be making! Best wishes from Vermont, Susannah
Was very happy to see your podcast pop up today! I'm so sorry to hear about Dennis, he had a lovely life with your family. Darrin is quite a character and made me laugh lol ❤
So lovely to see you again Paula, sorry about Dennis, our furry friends do grab onto our hearts don't they. .
I’m so sorry about Dennis, Paula. It’s never easy to lose our fur babies. He’s over the rainbow bridge playing with Kim.
Aww Paula….I’ve been building up to watching this as knew you’d be talking about wee Dennis.
It was funny about Ian though.
I’m waiting on confirmation of a grim diagnosis for my cat and, like you,I’m devastated.
We’ve just got to take comfort about the good lives they’ve had being in a loving home .
Take care ❤
Awww I’m so heartbroken for you and the family 😢 our fur babies take up such a big part of our heart and home - it’s hard when it’s their time to leave - thank goodness for Ian getting you to laugh when your heart was breaking xx
I'm so sorry for your heartache. I find the loss of a pet harder to deal with than the loss of a human - I think it's the innocence of the animals that makes it harder to bear the loss. This was a lovely long catch-up, I've missed you. I keep all my sock leftovers because we tend to wear out the sole of socks long before the rest of it, and I knit top down, so I just frog back to past the hole and reknit the foot & toe with the leftover yarn - it doubles the life of the socks and I don't have to knit all that ribbing 😆 When a sock wears out a second time but the leg/ankle is still in good condition, I will frog back to the gusset and reknit the foot with a different yarn, or even a bunch of scraps. I've got a huge collection of vintage table linens, doilies and handkerchief's including many that were embroidered or tatted by my mum and grannies - one day I will make a quilt from them, one day when I can bear to take the scissors to them. I look forward to your next update.
So lovely to see you again ❤ lots of beautiful handwork and the jumper will be great on you as all you knits are 👍🏻🤗 I hope we see you soon again 🌺🌸🌷. I’m so , so sorry for all of you for the loss of Dennis , I’m crying with you , that’s really hard when we loose a sweet family member 😞 I can see he had a lovely life with lots of care , attention, treats, petting and kisses and good company ❤he will alway be in you heart with a lot of sweet memories, I’m sure he’s up in the sky playing , barking and running with a lot of friends ⭐️🌈
It’s so nice to see you back! So very sorry about good boy Dennis! So sorry! I had a very similar experience with my beloved cat Cora! She was my best friend for almost 17 years and a force to be reckoned with for sure! She had what I thought was a minor but manageable issue but the vet said no, it isn’t at all! I had to make the same decision! That was 8 years ago and I still miss her! Her ashes will be with me always!
Oh so excited... I have been worried you weren't well Paula. Soon as I have time I shall relax with a cuppa and my knitting and enjoy your company. Bliss xx you feel like a friend for so many of us. 😂Just finished the video Paula. Sending hugs for you all. Our pets are very precious. ❤
I'm so glad you are back. So sorry about your Dennis. It's hard to lose a fur baby.
Hello Paula I was So Happy to see your New Podcast notification. Love All your new knits and Thank You for showing your new Crochet Blanket by Lucy of Attic 24, it’s going to be Lovely 🌈I started a Solid Granny Square Blanket but I’m already getting Inpatient with making the squares so I’ve decided to frog them and start the same pattern using my 2022 Advents.
Thank You for sharing about Denise, I can Certainly Relate…Your Pets are Very Lucky to Have Such a Beautiful Family That Cares For Them like You Do.
Take Care xx ❤
Had a little chuckle when you were talking about Down Below! 😂 I’m a recently Retired Nurse so I knew what you were referring too 😂
So sorry Paula. It’s easy to see how much you love your pets. They have a wonderful life with your family. And to abruptly change, I love your new fabrics. My favorite to date. April 15 is a special day in the US. Our taxes are due then and it is always such a relief to have that behind us. Good tIme to start a blog. Much love to youPaula
oh Paula - what a heartbreak. it really tears us up, doesn't it? you had me really blubbering here, but it was also wonderful to see you back. Take care 💕
Hugs to you all Paula xx
Darren is cute and cheeky. Mid April - May vlogs would be amazing Paula. Lovely makes as always. I’ve been collecting vintage table cloths to reuse as EPP hexies for hot water bottle covers. I haven’t started yet but it’s on my forever growing list. Xxx😊
Oh Paula so sad to hear about your beautiful boy again. Such a lovely boy and he was well loved. I still have my last cats ashes so totally understand that. Beautiful things and the frog so cute - big hugs and hope we see you again soon, take care x❤
Dear Paula bless you it's so sad to loose a fury friend we have cats and its awful when you take them to the vets and thay tell you thay can't do know more for them 😢 I've come home in floods of tears there our baby's thank you for the vlog nice to see you again x
Lovely to see you again on UA-cam. I thought you were so brave talking about Dennis, he was a darling doggie.
I love seeing all your projects it makes me want to get better and finish my projects, I’m having treatment for AML (leukaemia) at the moment so the heart is willing but the body not so much.
Keep up the good work hope to see you soon on UA-cam ❤
Bless you and your family Paula - loved hearing about your hubbies socks xx Would love to be a furry critter in your home🐕💞
