I love people who express themselves with their hands when talking!
I am definitely a hand talker lol
Congratulations to you for juggling travelling, your job, filming, editing, providing a Christmas atmosphere and multi- crafting while being on the road. Fantastic video
It's somewhat surreal to become accustomed to craft and renovating (although of course we all know about your circus career) and then to see the reality of your performance life. Just wonderful!
As a knitter and rug hooker of 60+ years I have seen a good deal of colour bleed. My tips are: Avoid Heat. Hand Wash in Cold water, Add vinegar to the clod rinse water. Roll the garment in a towel to squeeze the water out. roll in a direction that reduces the possibility of bleed. For your 2 color sweater you can roll each end toward the centre or roll sideways instead of lengthwise. Dry Flat on a towel. Of these tips the Vinegar rinse and dry flat are the most important. Vinegar is the fixative that rug hookers use to set the dye in wool, it also dissolves soap residue giving a cleaner rinse. (1/4 to 1/2 cup in a basin of cold water is all you need. ) Thank You Shannon for your crafting content. I love to see you reviving the crafts that I learned from my grandmothers.
Yes, definitely the vinegar is key! I used to embroider clothing pieces as gifts and for craft fairs, etc and always had to soak the floss. beforehand. I even thought "uh-oh" when she started knitting, but knew since this was from last year, whatever was going to happen had already happened! 🙂 Even with a vinegar disk of the fiber or thread, you can still have some bleed with the first wash, but I've never had it not come out with the second wash and then no further bleeding.
I'm no big expert but that vinegar rinse was also my thought
I totally agree with all of that., I’ve been knitting for 60+ years as well
Compliations are so nice when I'm stuck recovering from a flare off my disability. Thank you for doing then. ❤
Just finished and was about to comment the exact same thing ❤
Hope you're both feeling better soon! 💚❤️💚
You not being sure at the end about people watching a 2 hour video of you opening fabric donations while I sitting here watching a 3 1/2 hour compilation makes me giggle. I used the time to catch up on hand cutting hexi templates! You are great company while crafting!
Wow Shannon!!! Such an amazing life and so many gifts you have. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and thank's for opening up your life to all of us and bring us along those that have chosen to follow. Well done and keep on keeping on . ❤❤❤❤❤
Oh Shannon, I’ve been so wanting to see what you and Phil do in your profession and so this video was perfect to post and especially since it’s all films through Christmas time last year it’s just perfect thank you so so much. I am truly enjoying it. I love your channels. I love everything you do and this video is just what I needed today❣️❣️❣️ merry Christmas, both of you🎄🎅🏼🤶🏼
Oh girl, they think you talk with your hands. They should be around me lol. I talk with my hands even when I’m on the phone lol😜🤣🤣
I have not one problem with a two hour unboxing. I think it's wonderful. Anyone else?
How about a crazy quilt vest? I’ve seen several and they can be quite beautiful, especially when made out of velvets and satins for a dressy holiday flair. You’ve become very good at it. Love watching all these projects unfold. As far as Christmas trees, I love color in the decorations but the lights need to be white for me because I’ve always thought they should resemble glistening snow or stars or something.😊
I made that for my daughter when she was about 12.
Patchwork vests made with velvets and satins were popular in the 70s and looked really cute with woolens and tweeds. Think of how cute a velvet collar looks on a wool coat or blazer.
I love seeing bits of your cirque work!
I don’t know if you will actually see this but I wanted to oppose those people making negative comments you sometimes show on the screen. Hard to believe some ppl can be so rude. Yours are new favorite 😍 channels of mine. First one that I watched was you explaining why ppl make second channels. Next how you furnished your entire apartment with recycling furniture, etc. then your house in Nova Scotia and I’m over the moon. Watching and rewatching all, not so much the sewing/knitting ones although blown away by your talent. When I was small my mom had your grandma’s Singer machine. She was a seamstress, always involved in a sewing project. Love your channels and still haven’t figured out if you and Phil are romantic as well as business partners but I think so ❤ 😊 I wonder if you know of another favorite channel of mine also in Nova Scotia remaking 100+ year old Victorian, her channel Ariel Bissett with second channel a book podcast with her friend. Maybe you’re even in the same area. You would be great friends. She is always on marketplace and redoing rooms in her old house. Right now I have your 3 hour Christmas compilation running in the background!
This is December 2024. I am so enjoying your traveling compilation. My grandmother taught me how to chicken scratch when I was around 10 or 11. I loved doing that. I love the snowflake pattern! She also taught me to crochet, and as I’m watching you, I am crocheting baskets out of t-shirt yarn for Christmas gifts. Love watching your renovations on your NS home. So fun! I am now 71 years old and have been crocheting since I was around 10. I taught myself to knit as an adult but I’m not as proficient at it as crocheting. I’m really enjoying your channels. Also, love Canelle. Sooo cute she is! I rotate between white lights and multicolored lights from year-to-year. I like both. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you.
Hi there
What a treat! Absolutely love these vlogs and can’t get enough of the circus. Love your face paint designs. Looks beautiful. What a harrowing wardrobe malfunction in Detroit. Can’t believe you were able to pull it off. How long have you and Phil been working together? You seem to have such a lovely relationship. Whether you are performing or working on the house in Nova Scotia you seem to always support each other’s efforts. Such a lovely man and such fabulous Corgi parents. Keep gesturing. Your joy for life is contagious. Anyone who doesn’t appreciate that can go elsewhere. And while we are on the subject, I would report that manager to her corporate office. Was wondering about Cannelle - so glad you told us about her whereabouts. We are missing her too! BTW, when I saw your electric pot, I had to order one right away. It will be perfect for my tiny apartment kitchen where I have limited cooking appliances. Can’t believe how reasonably priced it was. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas 2024. 🎄
Thanks for taking us on the road with you; it stirred up many memories for me! My Grampy was a Master Electrician for Holiday on Ice/Ice Capades and traveled with the show around North America during the 60's - 80's. My Grammy traveled with him; she always carried her bag of yarn and crochet hooks to make "Granny squares" (pieced into afghans for each of 9 grandchildren) and a sewing kit. I remember her stitching on buttons, hemming skirts, and darning socks for the two of them and also for the skaters and crew in the shows. We got tickets to the shows when they played nearby! I loved going backstage after a show to meet the stars and get our programs signed. Magical times! Thank you for vlogmas!
As a former commercial Xmas decorator, I preferred the clear mini incandescent lights for practical reasons and a big show. But after 15 years, I started craving colour and switched to multicoloured at home. I’ve finally settled on a favourite theme. I love rustic Canadiana decor: santas on skis, buffalo plaid, tuques, skates, toboggans and mitts, gingerbread men, candy canes and lots of it home made.🥰 To date, LED’s haven’t offered the sparkle that clear minis have. Being of French ancestry, we all speak with our hands. Just don’t keep long stem wine glasses on the table LOL!
An hour in on this video, and enjoying it immensely, as I do all your videos, Shannon! Thank you for sharing so much of your very interesting life! Wishing you and Phil a super fun & merry holiday season!
You are so impressive with all you do and accomplish. You have done an outstanding job videoing and editing your crafting and performances. You get a lot done in the crafting department along with working at a very physical job. TFS ❤
Thanks the video, I baked six dozen cut out cookies, including lions bears and dinosaurs besides the regular Christmas shapes.
My sister has been active in theater for 50+ years and I always enjoy the stories she tells of the unexpected both on and off stage. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.
I am a BIG proponent of good customer service. I would totally report her to corporate, that was not the way to handle that situation!
I came to say the same thing! She might have been new to that position & unsure how to approach or nervous about the possible reaction of the guest, but it needed to be addressed. Possible further training is required or she's just not the right person for that particular position. She won't learn to do better if she isn't told she's doing it wrong! So a call to her upper management was or is, is beneficial!
Yeah, that was super creepy how she handled that… and inappropriate.
Lol what a mess with the door not working.
Back in the 70s I did Anything Goes and I was one of the four angels that were supposed to look alike and dress alike. I had long brown hair and everybody else had short dark hair so they had me wear a wig.
One of our numbers was tap dance to “take me back to Manhattan” and we had props of top hats and canes. We are talking almost 50 years ago, but I can still remember part of the dance.
So as we’re dancing with canes flying in the air, I notice that there’s a top hat on the floor. After looking around, I realize it’s my hat.
I had the first line after that dance. So as the applause dies down, I walk over to the hat with an attitude, pick it up, tuck it under my arm, and then say my funny line.
It worked. I was so proud of myself. I was only 17. I did a great job.
This is exactly what I needed today while I work!
I really like these longer video compilations - perfect background while working on my sewing projects!
I talk with my hands too..... ❤😂 I do not know why some people have to be such TROLLS AND NEGATIVE. BE YOU .and if they don't like it, they can leave!!!! great fun in all you do 🎉❤
Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents. I'm presently recuperating from cataract surgery in both eyes, so I'm behind you, supporting you. Thank you, thank you.
Your videos are fresh and delightful! Thank you so much for sharing.❤
I'm so glad you think so! You're very welcome!
Hello 👋 there
So many things to comment on so I will stick with how smart you are. Cooking, crafting, decorating your hotel room. And SEW much more. Love the pine decor with fireplace in each shot. ❤
Thank you for this vlog compilation. I really enjoyed learning more about what you do and your experiences. Hotel manager needs a lesson in guest relations, that bookstore looks great, and if people don't like the entertainment they access for free, they ought to go away rather than be unpleasant. Please don't ever let the grouches deter you, we think your style of expressing yourself is JUST RIGHT!!
I'm only halfway through but just had to stop and thank you for a wonderful video. It's brought back so many memories of my time at our local theatre that was a big part of my life from 3 years old to 30 years old. I'm now a crafter of many types, much like yourself and having a break from productions due to ill health so it's all the more sweet to hear your stories as I craft along with you.
You're very welcome!
Hello 👋 Francess how are you doing today and the weather condition like?
@@AlvarezGuillermo-t6v omg, I love when viewers find each other and have convos in the comments sections... it's so cheerful 😍😍
@ nice to hear from you I’m from Michigan and you?
@@shannonmakessomethingelse hello 👋 are you still there?
Great funl I like the theater clips, seeing cities and just the general fun. Also liked the knitting and vintage patterns. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, this is wonderful!
I suspect it will get me through much of my Dreaded Finish Up Chores... including some seam finishing.
Thanks for continuing this channel & content🌟👑🧡🦋
Welcome to America! I'm sorry about your bad experience in FL! Hopefully the rest of your tour was at great success! What you all do out there on stage is truly amazing!🎉❤😅
This was fun ...it took a few days to watch it all but great right to the end ...love the wall of photos...and the squirrels ..absolutely you had to buy them so sweet...and the stocking, how cute..I loved it ..think this is the year to buy Christmas fabric on sale...look forward to your next video
I grew up with white lights on our tree, because it was a very traditional looking tree and ornaments, but I have some smaller trees with more pop culture themes that I'm seriously considering getting some fun colored lights for.
Очень рада, что Ютуб порекомендовал ваш канал. Вы очень милая и талантливая девушка. Нравится смотреть ваши творческие проекты - вязание, вышивка, шитье (первым я смотрела видео о халате Бильбо). Очень интересно с вами путешествовать по городам, которые вы посетили, вы умеете видеть красоту, рассказывать о разных местах, о книге очень увлекательно. И очень мило создаете уют даже в номере отеля (гирлянда создает прекрасную рождественскую атмосферу). А еще вы и артист цирка! Чудесная девушка и видео очень интересные и уютные😍
Thanks for spending another crafting Friday evening with me. This week it’s Lego time. 😊
I grew up with colored lights and loved sitting alone in the evening just starring at the glowing colors. Still in love with colors in art and crafts! But I admit I like the white lights with a red and gold theme. I need a few trees to do different ways 😂🎄🎄🎄🎄
Merry Christmas, Shannon and everyone! 🎄 I just found your channel this morning and can't stop watching! I love the combination of work, traveling, and being able to see different cities, your amazing craftwork, and, of course, your pup. You are a gem 💎 I used to like crafting, and you have inspired me to start crafting again. I especially love the patchwork stockings. I hope you find something special in yours on Christmas morning!
LOVED THIS Shannon. Watched the whole thing beginning to end over two days LOL 😅
The Polish version of the white vs coloured lights debate is the cheesecake question: should you add raisins to the cheesecake or not? Of course the only valid answer is ‘absolutely not, raisins are literally Satan’, but Poles still fight over it 😅
I've NEVER heard of this and I'm from Polish lineage, so this is fun to find out. Are we talking regular grape raisins or some other type of dried fruit? Do they go into the cheese layer or a layer of its own? This is blowing my mind.
PS I hate raisins too😂
@ regular grape raisins mixed right into the cheese 🫣 it should be illegal as far as I’m concerned
Oh absolutely not, raisins definitely don't go in cheesecake, whose wacky idea was that?
@@ace_r_ola oh that's just strange...and wrong lol. It probably started because someone accidentally added them in and just went with it. I don't do oatmeal raising cookies either.
I do like the jammy strawberry layer on top of cheesecake sometimes.
Former Girl Scouts know when raisins should be added,
As a hand knitting pattern designer, I have found out that different designers consider different cast ons to be “regular.” My friend Melissa Leapman always uses knit on, if I recall. I always long tail.
Interesting point, if you use a long tail cast on, it’s the same thing as using a backward loop /e-wrap/half hitch cast on plus knitting one row. That means after you do the cast on you’re ready to do a purl row. If you don’t, the cast on is backward and you have a bumpy edge. Look at what the designer says to do on the row after the cast on. Make sure you do knit or purl for the first row, based on what cast on you used., because if you did longtail, you’re actually ready to do the second row.
I decided to watch each episode one at a time, in order to stretch out all the fun. First episode - I swear that each pattern you pulled out, my reaction was got it, got it, got it. I stole.. uh, saved several 1940-50's patterns from my Mom's stash and have used a number of them when making theatre costumes. Sadly, they are very delicate. Looking forward to episode 2...
Thank You, Thank You! Thank You! This video kept me company over night when my chronic pain flared and didn't allow me to sleep. It was fun rewatching all your touring, crafting, and knitting adventures from last year. I enjoyed them just as much the second time around.
Have a safe and happy holiday/touring season. Looking forward to anything you are willing to share from this tour. It is kind of sad that you won’t be spending your first Christmas away from your new home. But I guess that comes from my own experience, having never been away from home/family during the Holidays. Your world seems to have always been MUCH bigger than mine ever was. And that’s the fun thing about us humans….we’re all so different, yet somehow find connection in ways big and small. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to You, Phil and Cannell
Awesomeness! I got to start cooking garlic bistro chicken for tonight while watching 👀 and listening to your vlogmas.
Lots accomplished, but I pale in comparison to your busy schedule. Thank you, Phil and Cannel. Merry Christmas 2024.
What a joy it's been to watch through this again! When it was nearing the end I realised I've been following along for over a year now - maybe closer to two. how time's flown! and now with the house, the second channel...what a year or two it's been :D
I know I am late to this video, sorry. I just wanted to say thank you for the video, you and Phil are a joy to watch and listen too. As for the creepy incounter with hotel personel, I am so sorry for the rudeness. And the rude comments about talking with your hands. Please do not let it get you down. You have the right idea. If they do not like it, they can just click off the video. The rest of us love it. Again, thank you for your time and hard work.
White/clear lights❣️We have very special ornaments to us and love them to be highlighted.
Squee!!!!! I now have an awesome excuse to not listen to Christmas music (not my favorite, and I'm team no icing) while my hubby and daughter decorate cut-out cookies. AND I get to watch you Christmas craft while I Christmas craft! Here's hoping I complete this blanket I'm crocheting for my mom-in-law. I'm on the finishing edge, pray for me!
I like the white lights, but my husband likes colored. Since his vision is not great and the white lights seem harsh for him, we stick to the colored lights. We also put a crackling fire in a fireplace video on our TV in the evenings! Helps us relax at the end of the day. Thanks for sharing this holiday adventure! It was fun to see where the garland ended up in each motel room. Love the bookstore in Savanah! I'm not great at sewing and have never knitted (I'm more into glass, wood, and metal), but I do enjoy your crafting sections for that reason. I enjoy hearing other people's creative experiences. Thanks again, Shannon, for a great holiday video.
Thank you, Shannon, I loved this compilation! I have gone down a few rabbit holes of embroidery… e.g., Featherstitch House. I’m locked into Christmas knitting but I’m hoping to get into crazy quilting and embroidery in the new year.
First of all, I found your channel, channels about 6 months ago and I look forward to therm and look for them all the time. Second, I will never understand why people post negative comments because if I do not like a channel or what they have produced I simply move on and do not watch. There are sine in the US who use hands gestures I think some call the accordion and they are made fun of whi is famous BUT your gestures are more then your hands and you can tell toy ate an artist because you express yourself with enthusiasm and humility at the same time and honestly, it is your personality and who you are and is what makes toy so relatable. I really enjoy seeing what you are willing to share in your performances because it is absolutely fascinating to watch. Please be you, ignore the hateful depressed people and keep making your videos because they make my day every tine you share.
Loved your compilation, Shannon! Planned to to just skim through watching bits and pieces. Then, when I saw the Vlogmas format, I decided I'd watch a couple of parts and then make it into a Vlogmas for this year and watch each segment on sequential days. It turns out I have ZERO willpower and just kept watching (with a half hour break to make tacos) right through to the end! It was so addictive that I just couldn't stop! You're such an interesting and interested person. Like you, I find pretty much anything interesting, either on my own or because I see someone else so enthused about it that I need to learn more to see it, too.
Hope you're having fun this holiday season so far, but I feel certain you are. You make your own fun wherever you go! ❤️
literally the best compliment a creator can receive!!
@@shannonmakessomethingelse
Happy to make you happy! 🩷
Ooh, I love the way you count stitches with the pins leap frogging! I also get lost while counting, resulting in me starting over multiple times
It was just a perfect video to wind down, do some house chores and get into some holiday spirit in the middle of pre-holidays crazy. Thank you, Shannon⛄❄️
Love, love, loved this video! You kept me company while home cooking for my dog. It take approximately 3 hours to cook for a month and this was perfect. Thanks for the entertainment 😊😅
Re-Watching because i need comfy cozy Christmas company! Thanks Shannon. ❤
You're very welcome!
Shannon, thanks for sharing your experience with that bizarre interaction with the hotel management and the filming incident. I agree that it was bizarre, rude, and most likely unnecessary. As flight crew, I also spend more than half my life in hotels. And I totally relate that there is never enough light in the hotel rooms. I've started packing small portable lights to sew or knit by.
I too adore these longer video sets. Its a great way to catch up on events past and put my little gremlins down for a nap. No explosions, gunfire, screaming, clocks or alarm sounds. Perfect for lulling to sleep🎉🎉😅❤❤
I enjoyed the series last year. This year for me is much less about Christmas and more about clearing out years of old books, other art supplies, clothing I won't need and getting my tiny garden gone.
It's a big change but I will "force" myself to make gingerbread cookies, maybe some mincemeat tarts.
Colored Christmas lights of course. With strings of popcorn ! Make two garments, both are super cute! 😮
Thank you! I had a big project to do today, requiring a moderate amount of my attention, so having this on to keep me company was perfect! I've seen these videos in the past, so I didn't feel too bad if my attention wandered away for a few minutes, but it was cozy and entertaining for the part of my brain that needs to be engaged 😊💙
Enjoying the compilations - I am writing holiday cards and sewing holiday oven mitts for gifts. You are very much helping me get motivated to make stuff! The best holiday gift from your channel should you care to accept the challenge - a compilation with all the festive making and cosy corgi content, without talking. I totally enjoy all your stories - but a retrospective "holiday card" that is a collage with just your beautifully filmed visuals would be amazing for cosy background and touch more restful for those times when my neurodivergent brain is a little worded out.
I would love so much to work in wardrobe for performers in that world. I'm definitely not a performer but how much would I love to make all the props and costumes. I actually work in film and television for a few years in my 20s and I LOVED it!
Wow, so cool to see this other part of your life! Thanks for sharing!
Wow! ANOTHER fabulous compilation of videos for our binging pleasure! Thank you, this is interesting and wonderful...
Shannon I really enjoyed this montage! So fun to see and learn about the behind the scenes at a performance! I had it playing while I finished up a quilt. I really enjoy all of your fabric arts that you share.
Growing up we had a combo of colored and white at my moms house. At my dads it was mainly white lights with blue lights to go with his Hallmark StarTrek ornaments that needed a strand of lights to work. And white lights at my grandmothers house. And now I'm married and I base it off my mood for that year and my husband prefers the clean look of white lights only lol so I have decided I'm team as many lights as possible and what makes your heart happy
I love coloured lights outside with the snow glow, I also like them on white trees, white lights I also love with green trees, garlands and as twinkle lights.
I love this compilation. Perfect for last minute gift making!
Yay!!🎄
Thanks for showing the book you purchased... Hooked! I just purchased it too. I can't wait to dig into it! Awesome videos too. Keep up the good work!
Detroit!!!!! It’s not too far for us. I’ve been to the Fisher theater a few times and the Fillmore once. I kind of wish you would mention the names of the theaters when you visit places.
My watching pleasure was interrupted by storm darragh (I live in the middle of nowhere and electricity is fed via overhead cables) ... but I'm a few minutes to go of the last hour.
Thank you, Shannon... I had a very relaxing evening, with just a minor interruption. ❤🎄
When I use my patterns, I cut them out around the largest size then I fold in the sizes I don't need until I get to the size I do need. This way the entire pattern is intact and none of the sizes are lost. It takes a little bit more time to do it this way, but I prefer to keep my patterns intact this way. I have a lot of vintage patterns that I inherited from my grandmother. It was really fun to see the patterns that she used to make clothes for me and my siblings when we were younger. It brought back a lot of memories of her.
I finished addressing my Christmas cards, did a little bit of Christmas decorating in our new apartment, and unloaded the dishwasher while listening to this video.
As for the Christmas tree lights, I use warm, white LED lights on my tree because they look good with my eclectic collection of ornaments and also remind me that, historically, people used to decorate their Christmas trees with lit candles.
Drops gives you a calculation help for changing yarns of different gauges on it's website drops designs
🎉🎉🎉YAY🎉🎉🎉 CIRCUS CONTENT! This video makes me wish you were doing vlogmas this year.
Really enjoyed this compilation Shannon, thank you.
My tree has colored lights and I’m still using lights that I bought 30 years ago. I have some newer colored lights that I haven’t opened yet.
As a kid, our tree had light bulbs of various sizes, including a strand of bubble lights. Those were always fun!
Oh how I love the FOX theater in Detroit Michigan! So beautiful!!
I grew up with multi-color as well, but for my own decoration I use all red! I'm also super fond of vintage lights- take a peep at the beginning of the christmas episode of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries to see what I mean!
Wonderful video for what I'm getting to catch of it so far, gotta love the energy of puppies lol, Lucky keeps saying let's go, did catch that wonderful pot, awesome product, copied and pasted video to myself so i can watch in full later.
I grew up with colored lights. As an empty-nester I got a very skinny tree with white lights and decorated it with white, cream, silver, and gold decorations. This year being in my own again, I got a new pre-lit tree with colored AND white lights and I have it set to alternate and I love it. I also decorated with my nostalgic decorations. Old family heirlooms, ornaments my daughter made, and some we made together. I need to print pictures of my grandkids to go in the frame ornaments I have collected over the years.
Your crazy stockings were adorable...I might like to try these out!😅
For the color bleed issue, you might want to try a white vinegar solution. I use vinegar when doing dying with food dye for my woolly experiments as sort of a mordant, which might help. I usually eyeball it but I'm sure there's a formula online. And of course, cold water, and as you squeeze it out, keep the grey section up top, and the blue below so the color doesn't bleed into the grey by accident.
I feel chicken scratch is new skill I will make use of. I never that genre has its own specific name. I enjoyed watching the entire presentation you shared. Thank you.
Hi Shannon
You have inspired me to try English paper piecing, so I’m cutting out my fabric.
I enjoy watching your videos.
Happy Holidays 🎄✨🎅🏼🤶🏻🎉
You got it! Merry CRAFTMAS! 🎄
I graduated in 1977 from high school. The caftan top w diamond waist. Very on point
This is so entertaining! Thank you. I'd love to know what Phil does to keep busy when you are crafting. Actually, I'd love to know what some of the other performers do too - aside from sightseeing, which is an obvious choice.
As for Christmas 🎄 lights color? I love multicolored followed by blue and green mixed.
Either Christmas 🎄 trees on pockets or the snowflakes…❤
Years ago I had some beautiful yarn and was knitting a sweater and after a couple hours of knitting noticed my hands were black and promptly went to the store where I purchased the yarn and the owner called the manufacturer and they told her sometimes when they set the dye it is not held in long enough to set to avoid bleeding out and told her they would send me the yarn to replace my order and to throw what I had away, but I was talking to a lady that produces her own yarns and she told me to soak the yarn over night in vinegar. I did that and it set the color perfectly! I was glad I had not got to far in my sweater because it was easier to do it in balls of the same color. Perhaps you could dip the blue in and then turn it around and do the grey side if needed.
Hi, I have two trees. In the lounge it’s white lights but in the kitchen it’s all the funky colours. Merry Christmas
Do you get to Northern California? Would love to see you. Love your crafting and shots of the show.
Tip:- I keep my precious patterns back to back, two per zip lock bag (air extracted) in similar themes. They then sit tidily filed in a box for easy perusing.
Here's an added tip. If you're shopping & find something you really want but... ship it to yourself, go to the post office, mine has a variety of envelopes and boxes for sale. It will be home before you are❤!!!
I have a tree now that has several light options at the click of a button. I alternate between about 3 of the modes depending on my mood lol
I thrifted that first same tablecloth for the same reason! Cool!♥
I do white lights that way my tree only has to have red accents from ornaments.
I predominantly have blue, white and silver on my tree.
BTW any of us with French blood know we talk with our hands 👍🏻🇨🇦
Thanks for sharing your adventure.
OMG! I remember begging my Mom for a long skit like that when I was in the 5th grade! Quilters talk about using a product called "Color Catcher" when washing fabrics that bleed
