Sherrie xx
We had a lovely cool morning on the school run this morning. So refreshing after the last week's temps x
Yes definitely better 💕
Sara Parker is my vote! My favorite old movie is Moonstruck. It's not from the classic "old movie" era, but it was made in the late 80's so it's like 40 years old. I love it!
Always a pleasure to hang out with you, Sherrie!
Aww thanks lovely 🥰 I hope you’re well? 💖
Yes! That cool fresh smell in the morning and that cool smell in the evening. That's my absolute favorite
Yes 🙌 glad I’m not the only one 😄💖
On the walk to school when I say I can smell Autumn my grandchildren laugh 🍂 Love all your makes ❤ Thank you
Thank you! I’m looking forward to that Autumn smell, hopefully it’ll be soon 🍂💖
I always say, a person can smell it's winter and my husband's face in the beginning lol! But NOW he gets it. You can smell winter in the air.. Just like Spring, all the blossoms, fresh air, still cool-ish in the mornings and then.. The South African summer hits us, good Lord have mercy.. Can't even breathe. Funny enough, my mom is a 1600km away in the Western Cape and they have the worst cold fronts and winds strong enough to blow a tupé to the other side of the world lol I'm a spring and autumn person. I like those 2 seasons.
Yes glad I’m not the only person! I’m still waiting for that cool nip in the air and the smell of Autumn. I am happy the weather is cooler now though 😂 yes Spring is wonderful isn’t it? 💖
A great vlog. You are such a kind mum frogging a sock to make one for your daughter and sharing the lovely skein. Crumpet the hamster is cute. Shame I'm allergic to rodents. You are very busy with all your WIPs and the allotment. The dahlias reminded me of my grandad's veg patch he always grew them.
What a lovely memory to have of your Grandad. I hope one year I can grow Dahlias, I did try this year but was unsuccessful sadly 😏 Thank you for your lovely comment 💕
Beautiful makes and I love the tee especially the colour its perfect for Autumn x
Thank you Lisa 💕
If you aren’t happy with neck get a very thin old fashioned sepia coloured lace and attach around neck it will match lace on the bottom xx
I love the smell of autumn, too. You absolutely can "smell" it! I am so glad the heatwave is over now, I hate being "too hot." 😂 I have started a sweet shop blanket too. The pattern is so lovely, isn't it? Mine is all pastel colours with pale yellow as my main colour, and I'm using yarn from my stash, aka wool mountain 😂 it's all acrylic yarn that I've had for years. See you next time ❤
Amazing - it must be lovely to use yarn from stash! Pastels also sound lovely - I bet it will look great when you’ve finished it. Yes me too, so glad the weather has finally cooled off. I was not happy about that 😂 Thanks for watching 💖
Ah the autumn smell. I absolutely love it. Altho I did love the heatwave...sorry 😂
😆 No worries, you're not the only one, some of my friends were the same. Although it was definitely too hot for me! 💕
Sherrie always a pleasure to catch up you have kept me company this afternoon Saturday 9/9/23 30deg in Norfolk Uk in my shaded craft room ( blinds closed small fan wiring ) & listening to you about your crafts all looking good I love that Tee agree a smidge longer Perfecto 👍
Oh my Jesse is growing up little treasure 💕
Thank you Sue 🧶✨ we kept our blinds closed as well, just help with the heat. I would like it to be a bit more cooler again though 😆 i'm not fussy honest 🤭 I love it where it's just cold enough that you need a sweat top on or maybe a shawl to keep you cosy! 💕
Fabulous makes I love them all you are so talented
Your top is beautiful xx❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Paula 💖
I discovered your channel yesterday. I just wanted to say thank you so much for the book recommendation. I bought House of Earth and Blood on Audible, (always audio so I can crochet too) and I'm hooked! I've been looking for something like this for ages, so thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!
❤ loved ALL of it! When you said it might be a long one, I thought “oh good!!!” 😂
😂 Thank You for watching 💖
First time seeing your podcast and I’m really enjoying it
Thank you 🥰💖
Belgian weather seems to mirror the UK. I think we'll get the fresh crisp air smell towards end September. Looking forward to your vlogmas in Dec ❤. Your blanket looks beautiful, my 5 year old would would love the colours. I'm sure your 6 year old will love it.
Yeah I think you’re right probably end of the month before we can feel that nip in the air. We had a lovely thunderstorm this morning - I love it ⛈️😆 Thank you 💖
Hi olla and Bella how are you nice video ❤❤😊
Thank you 💖
Although I’m really here to see all your lovely knitting and crochet, it was lovely seeing you all at the allotment as well! It’s looking really good. Loved your new cropped top with the lace, it’s really pretty on you. Glad the family are all OK. I’m like you with the weather and can’t wait for the smell of Autumn in the mornings. Thank you for a lovely video x
Thanks Heather, 🍂🍁🍄 I'm so ready for those crisp Autumn mornings 🥰 I plan on sharing more allotment updates as and when we've got more to share, thank you for watching 💕
I love it when you wake up in the mornings to that slight 'nip' in the air. You instantly know the season has shifted, and I get really excited at the thought of being able to layer clothes! As much as I adore the longer daylight hours, I really do love that shift and the smell of leaf decay is one of my favourite smells! ha ha! I was getting out all my wraps, scarves, hats and wrist warmers the other day in anticipation of Autumn, and realised it's probably my favourite time of year for making and wearing accessories. I have so many I've made over the years that I still love to wear. I've also just finished my second pair of socks. Get me! After 10 years of wanting to do it, I just did it one day thinking, 'What's the worst thing that could happen?'. The air was a little blue at first I'm not going to lie, but after my 4th sock, I felt I was turning a knitting corner! I was determined to complete a pair of socks before I turned 50! My ultimate goal is to knit sweaters that actually fit me. I'm a shortie and short in the body, so sweaters are usually too long for me. I just want to make my own to my own length. That's my next goal. I love how you talk about your knitting, as it gives me confidence to have a go....so thank you for that! I love love love it when I see a new post from you. You are such a gorgeous vlog watch Sherrie. xxxxx
Firstly - YAY go you for knitting socks, see I knew you could do it!!! Yes, I remember when I was first learning to knit socks and knit in general and I would get myself so worked about it, I'd tense up and even give myself a headache! BUT - like you I was determined to accomplish it and so glad I pushed myself out of my comfort zone.
That's great you want to sweaters and I'm sure you'll accomplish that as well, maybe start off with something basic. I loved knitting the Felix as it's a beautiful simple pattern which has a little bit of detail. Aww thank you for your lovely kind comments 🥰💕✨
Wow, I love you too. I’ll be there beautiful job. I love the color and it looksZ I have enough blankets 1:07:21 😊
Your new top is lovely!
I’m working on my sweet shop blanket right now. I went through my stash for both the MC & CC. This will be my first blanket!
Oh how exciting!!!! I'd love to know how you're getting on? I am now on my 5th square and I'm enjoying it so much, especially holding the yarn double. Also, isn't great to use from stash?? 💕
@@OllieandBella I’m about to start my 4th square. It is so satisfying! I am also holding some yarn double to mix it up and use up more stash!
I'm right there with you on the cool, fresh air in the morning 🥶💙 I love summer but I'm always looking forward to end of September when it's a bit cooler and I need my knitted socks and some shawl on my shoulders 💕
Yes 🙌 knitted socks and shawls! I’m definitely a shawl girl, love wearing shawls in the colder months. I’m still really warm at the moment though 😭 😂 💖
It’s so nice to catch up with you! Your projects are amazing, especially your sweater-well done! Thank you for sharing about your Cedar River blanket-I had left a comment last time and am so pleased that you gave more information! Happy knitting! 🧶
You're welcome, sorry it's take me a while to get through the comments. Thank you for watching 💕
I live in northern Canada bc, and 25 C is almost too hot. I prefer 22 to 23 , 25 with a nice breeze. But we also don't get a lot if rain. Well nit this year, it like we get rainy summer and the next year it a dry summer. We get snow in the winter.
I'd LOVE to have a white Christmas, where I live it's so rare to have snow 😭
Great episode, lovely! I’m with you on the heat. It’s made me really grumpy this week 😂. I love your kindle cover and ALL your blankets. I might make a rectangle granny blanket too, yours is beautiful. I love Lisa Jewell too. I’m just listening to one of her books, None of this is True. It’s soooo good. I highly recommend it.
Thank you lovely, have you finished your book yet? I’m really enjoying I Found You. I’m so glad it’s cooler now - we even had a thunderstorm ⛈️ this morning which was lovely! I love it when theirs thunder and lightening 😂 💖
Thank you for your time. Love the knitted tee and the yarn choice fin terms of the colour is lovely. Knitting socks at the moment due to the heat the UK is currently experiencing as they are light in weight!
I have just read The It Girl by Ruth Ware and One Step Too Far by Lisa Gardner which I would recommend as 2 good reads. Two thirds of the way through The Second Sleep by Robert Harris which is also very good. I have not read one of his before. The concept of this book is really interesting.
Thank you for the book recommendations! I forgot that I also read a book by Ruth Ware but forgot to mention it on this episode, thank you for reminding me! It was called the The Death Of Mrs Westaway 💕
The black witch by Laurie forest is really good
Thank you for the book recommendation, always like to hear what everyone's reading 📚
Lovely catch up I have the same bags from the urban stitcher 😂
Oh really 😆 they're gorgeous bags 💕
Your knitted tee is gorgeous - you've done a beautiful job!
Thank you 💖
Sarah j mass all her books are amazing
I think I might have to get them on Kindle, I know the books are big! Do you have a favourite series of hers? 💕
We here in Ontario Canada are also going through heat wave 30 + for the fourth day 😮
Oh wow 🥵 Hopefully it will cool down for you soon 💖
Always enjoy spending time with you and your beautiful projects....xoxox
Thank you Tracey 🥰💖

Elaine💗🏡🏡
Hey Elaine lovely to see your comment pop up, hope you're well 💕
Thank you Sherrie, what a lovely episode 😊 Your new tee is beautiful and I love seeing all your socks! ❤ I'm planning on knitting some shorties too ~ I've got a couple of sets of 3x20g minis and I'm curious to see if it's enough for socks. Must admit I'm enjoying the hot sunny weather, though I think it helps I'm right by the sea, but I love that crisp autumn smell too. Look forward to seeing your allotment journey 🌱
Aww thanks Caroline 🥰 yay for shorties 🧶 I reckon that's enough yarn for shorties, I'd love to know how you get on, will you share on IG? 😆 You're not the only one to say you've been enjoying the warmer weather. I'm also right by the sea and I still feel hot 🥵 Thank you, I'm excited to share our progress, hopefully this time next year we will be settled in 🪴💕
It’s Reese Witherspoon and the pub chain is Wetherspoon x
I realised that afterwards 😂 💖
Your sweater looks so nice on you! Yes Autumn is in the air and we are on the heels of a Hurricane, Lee! Tropical affects in a few hours. Love all your projects! Did you ever continue with the Log Cabin squares? What you had was so pretty!
Thank you! Oh blimey - I hope everything’s ok since the Hurricane?
No I haven’t finished the log cabin blanket yet. I was only looking at it the other day 💖
@@OllieandBella Maine’s shore got battered but New Hampshire ok. I live 10 mins from Maine, 40 mins from shore.
The problem with heat has to do with humidity. 25 degrees in one place is not the same as 25 degrees in another place with different humidity. Here the 25 is just gross. I'm so happy the heat wave seemed to end today.
Besides, lots of other places have air conditioning. They don't seem to understand that in Europe almost no one has air conditioning.
I'm so happy the weather seems to finally be cooling off, although I was still hot today but no where near as hot as last week and over the weekend 💕
Lovely to see a podcast from you again! I love everything you are making and all of the lovely yarns
Thank you lovely 🥰 Amazing!!! How did the allotment visit go?? Ohh yes the Sweet Shop Blanket 🍬🧶 I love it, especially because it’s fingering held double!!! 💖
Great to catch up with you Sherrie 🙂 Your Pip and Pin top is just gorgeous (LOVE the colour). It makes me want to start mine again.... (maybe next Spring!). I'm with you on the Autumn smells too, and just to point out, pub = Wetherspoon, Reece = Witherspoon 🤣
I realised that after I said it 😆 and it made me chuckle so I left it in 🤭
Thanks lovely 🥰💕
🎃🍂🍃So looking forwards to autumn 🧶So many lovely projects.
Me too!! 💕
Such a pleasure to watch you as always Sherrie. Your top looks beautiful, I think I already have it in my favourites and I think I’ll add it to my queue for next year. How cute is little Crumpet! My favourite read this year has to be Still Life by Sarah Winman. I absolutely adored it. I’m currently listening to Pride and Prejudice on BorrowBox and it’s very comforting and well read by Lindsay Duncan, ( I agree that the narrator really makes a difference). Love to all xx
Aww thanks for your lovely kind comment Fran. Have you finished your audio version of Pride & Prejudice? I might have to have a look at some of the classics, I’ve only just recently got the app and I’m glad I did. There’s a few stories which are on there which aren’t in Libby!
I definitely think I’d like Stil Life - I’ll add it to my Goodreads 📚 😘💖
@@OllieandBella not finished my audio yet- I’ve not been working and I normally listen on my commute. Need to get back to it tho.
Just sent a goodreads request. We have the same taste in books. Lovely podcast as always. The Cedar blanket is gorgeous!
Thank you Maureen, I have just accepted 📚 💕
What a lovely visit with you😊. I would absolutely adore meandering through your allotment! Those Dahlias are incredible. Your cropped tee looks awesome! Kay Jones is also hosting a self striping KAL during September!
Thank you, we're really looking forward to spending some quality time down there to start getting things in order. I know these things take time to begin with, hopefully by next Summer we will be settled in nicely and I will definitely share how we are getting along. Ohh love self-stripping KAL, I also fancy her new stripey sock pattern. Have you seen it? Do you enjoy knitting socks? 💕
@@OllieandBella I love all of Kay's sock patterns. I always have many socks on my needles... So many that just need the toes closed.... But then I see and start another new pair! I am afraid to count how many 🙄☺️
Oh I love the Throne Of Glass series❤ I’m on book 5 and can’t put them down!
Oh wow!! Maybe I should try and read them rather than listen ok audio?? I’ll give the audio another try as I definitely know I want to read them all 💖
If no one has said this yet, I’ve seen people just put the stickers instead the clear cover without the paper or sticking them down and the cover just holds them in place. 💓
Thank you yes I'm going to give that a try 💕
🥔
Love your basket. What size is it please?
Thanks, it's meant to be a medium size but if I'm honest it's bigger than I expected when I first purchased it. It's more like a large size, I can fit A LOT in it 💕
What about a granny stripe kindle cover ..?? 😂❤😂
Love that!!! 💖
I haven't seen the Oppenheimer movie yet (I'm waiting for it to come out at home) , but I live in Los Alamos, NM. I've lived here since 1991. The funniest thing is seeing the tourists (visiting because of the movie) taking pictures in front of our town bathroom that was made to look like one of the guard stations! 😂 Hilarious!
Oh wow that’s amazing! 😮💖
Just watch a English movie, the last night in soho, what a twist in the end,
I've not heard of that one - I'll have a look, I usually watch a trailer first to see what it's like 💕
First time and subscribed to your channel. I have a question please. How do you manage to keep the rectangle granny square straight without it getting out of shape the more it grows?
Hello 💖 yeah sure - so the tutorial I followed gets you to turn/flip your rounds. If you have a look on my project page which is linked below there’s a link to the video tutorial I used 💖
@@OllieandBella thanks so much.
You can just pop the stickers inside the cover without peeling the backing off.
Yep 😉 I’ve got a plan 💖
New subscriber: what is your job, or do you work from home?
Thanks for subscribing! I work in retail 💕
I just put the stickers without removing the backing under the clear plastic cover then I can move them change them ect
Oops look away if you don't want to see and then you told us the colours 🤦♀️
Yes, I'm going to give that a go as I still would like to see the back of the kindle. Yeah blame my brain fog - I didn't say the colours on the latest episode! 💕
