Oh dear, now I'm dreaming of a trip to Liberty's of London! The fabric is just so pretty as well as that gorgeous old building. What a shopping experience!! Your little Robin's are so sweet. When I lived in Louisiana we had robins visit us in the wintertime and fly back home in the spring. Plenty of cardinals year round and when my middle son was young he would answer them when they would call, "winky, winky, winky"
Oh Linda what lovely memories of you’re son. I would love to say, you wouldn’t enjoy Liberty’s that much ! but I know you would, great to just wander round !! Sending love, have an arty week. 🩵
Aww hi Janet & Freddie & crew xx what a beautiful idea of your Robin birds and especially with your loved ones clothes xx Memories are everything Janet xx absolutely love your Robin xx thank you for sharing xx loved liberty and your lovely pack it’s good to treat ourselves xx ❤❤❤❤ lots of love always xx ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lisa thank you so much I did enjoy sewing these little robins. Sending love to you and Dad and the rest of the family 🩵 love to Sofie, Doris and the kitties.
I've been absent quite a while caring for hubby. He is now bed bound, non verbal and on comfort medicine only with Hospice. These 3 months have been some of the hardest I' could have ever imagined but some of the most comforting for both of us. I continue to cherish each moment with him until he earns his angel wings. I have missed you and Freddie. Blessings
I love projects like this one. I've never been good at sewing but you've inspired to make a garden fairy and hearts and now I can't wait to try this bird. It is truly relaxing and forces you to stop overthinking and worrying. Thank you❣️
Hi Janet, I know this is a while back, but I love these little robin birds, & all the rest of them. Fairies, cats, dogs, key hole dolls. I'm still going through all your old videos & finding more quarky things. I love them! So nice you got to go to that fabric store. I wouldn't want to leave. I really love fabrics. Flo's heart looks really cute! Freddy is such a sweetheart. He really waits for those treats! Have a great day! Thanks for sharing! ♥️☺️🫂🐾🐾🍄🦩🦉🌹🦋✨️
Shara oh thank you so much, I really enjoyed making these little red birds, I still have one and literally popped it in my journal last week. Little Freddie knows those treats are coming doesn’t he 🩵🐾have a lovely weekend.
Lovely slow stitch today Janet. I’ve never been to Liberty’s in London. So expensive but worth the trip just to go inside the wonderful building and have a mooch around. Those beautiful tiles wow! I love the mini Freddie that Carol made so sweet. A lovely idea using fabrics with memories. Recycling at its best …. ❤
Winniepeg I agree Liberty’s is the kind of place for a little mooch or as we would say window shop ! Thank you so much I really did enjoy sewing the birds. I can’t get over how tiny and delicate mini origami Freddie is !! Take good care 🩵🧵🫖
Thank you so much Heather, when I was making the owls with circles, all of a sudden the little Robin appeared ( I am wondering if a circle in quarters would be good for a wing ) may try this tomorrow. Do hope you have a creative week 🧵🩵🎨
OMG, I adore the Lego model, it is fantastic! Love the idea of using fabrics with a history and a special meaning in small sewing projects. Thank you for inspiring me. Have a cosy evening! Doris
Oh this is so fantastic! There is something about the same shape used different ways in a design that makes me so very happy. I love the robin! Our robins come and go and are big,bold, squawking things. Yours are so much more delicate. Our memory bird is a cardinal. 🇨🇦 and can we stop a minute and talk about THE TRIP TO LIBERTY OH MY SWOOOOOOOONING HEART!!!!!! Thank you SO MUCH for that video. What a spectacular shop. Love the fabric and the buttons and holy macaroni THAT AFTERNOON TEA! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍. So happy to see you have some Liberty of your own and that catalogue… oooooooo how special! Thank you for sharing, Janet. Love to Freddie. 💕🐈⬛💕
Hello Janet! I love the birds…a good portable project! When I see gold thread, I think of you. I do love your candle times. Oh to visit Liberty!!!!! Thank you for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the visit❤ to Liberty's I just love your slow stitch birds Robins and Willy Wagtails ❤are my favourite small birds the W Wagtails visit us ever y day they are cheeky chappies. Am tr y ing not to think of the unusual heat here it's stifling. We in West Australia must have done something wrong to deserve it. There has also been a bush fire today in Perth. 3 cheers for air-conditioning. You do come up with some good ideas Janet. Goodnight to you and Freddie and Flo 😅
Oh Pam you said it was hot on Monday, yes I am so glad you have air conditioning, it’s not so pleasant in the garden though I imagine. Kristina told me about Willy Wagtails you’re little gardeners friend. The boys are home tomorrow evening. Hope Pusscat is okay on the heat. Enjoy you’re art class this week 🩵🐈
That was fun Janet. Now I know where the owl came from. LOL When I saw the little tea room I was poured in with memories. My friend and I use to go into a small town and their tea room. Scones cream and jelly, oh and tea. LOL It is nice that flo gets to sew with you. Keep up the good work flo. Freddie loves snacks me too.
I love it! I definitely want to make these birds. Wonderful video Janet😍 Wow that place looked so gorgeous! Like you are in Harry Potterish setting! What a dream! I can’t get enough of the shops you visit. Just gorgeous. This is fabric Mecca I am speechless! Producers for movies must source there. Loving the bundles they were selling. Robins and cardinals❤️❤️ Excellent way to store your painted fabrics Janet. What cute birds they can come together well. Very cute. I have lots of ideas now.😍 Liberty fabric must be precious❤️ Freddiee❤️❤️❤️❤️ And Flo is using the mini Seraffina a lot. She needs an art exhibition soon.
Thank you so much Jayne oh yes doesn’t Liberty’s have a Harry Potter feel to it, even though the staircase doesn’t move it still has an other worldly and magical feel to it. So glad you love the little birds ( you may find it helpful to write the ideas down so you don’t feel overwhelmed) then you can always see what you’re heart leads you to on any given day. Busy Flo 🧵 says hi and so does Freddie 🐾 Go gently
hello Janet ! I loveeeee your beautiful whimsical robin 😍😍😍 and the Liberty shopping center in London brought me some beautiful memories with my beloved sister 🥰🥰 thank you so much for sharing ❤❤
Hello, Janet. Thank you for taking me along to Liberty's. I've never been there before. That's quite the store. I do know about their fabulous fabrics, though. I await seeing what you'll do with the beauties that you bought.
Majella thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed the trip to Liberty’s it reall is a feast for the eyes. I think I will make a simple quilt block with my little squares. Do hope you have a peaceful and creative week 🩵
Such a lovely idea for the whimsical birds, I do love robins. I have a very cheeky one in my garden who loves it when I turn the soil over and is eager to peck around for tasty grubs. 💗💗
Your slow stitch Robin is gorgeous. We say that about Willy Wagtails 💜 That big shopping center you visited looked amazing 🤩 Origami Freddie is awesome 🖤
Love it , flo is becoming the seamstress now, she will want her own channel soon where she'll make thousands of fabric postcards and quilts and designer dresses for other fairies. Haven't been to liberty's in many years lovely fabric you brought, it's made me realise that's one thing I need to do find a fabric shop here and go visit mid you have I got the space 😆love your little robins I haven't seen that many yet this year usually I get loads of them and wrens in the garden but we have had a late summer so I think that's why.
Oh Tracey thank you, Flo is loving her new sewing machine, oh really !!!! she’ll be taking over soon ! wanting to sit in my chair ! 🫖🧚♀️ Oh I love wrens, they are so dinky. Happy creating. Love to Bentley 🐾
Good night Janet. I love it when there is a process video that I can watch and listen to just before I go to sleep. Your calm sweet gentle voice is so good for my soul and I love the little English Robin they are so much sweeter than our big Robbins here and that sweet little round bird you made is so reminiscent of your sweet little Robin in England. Love and blessings from New Mexico
@@janetnash no we do not have cardinals here. Our state bird is the roadrunner. Thank you for asking I did have a very good night sleep I am. I enjoyed your video so much and I am planning to make those cute little birds
I loved your trip to Liberty Fabrics!!! What an amazing shop! I could fly to London and just spend a week there!!!! Thanks for this little birdie project. It's an inspiration for me.
Maryann thank you so much 🧵 oh I agree there is so much to see at Liberty’s the actual building and decor and the spectacular items for sale. Do hope after a busy start to the week you are getting some time to relax a bit 🧵🩵
Hi Janet. Yes it's been a couple of quiet days, which I needed. Tomorrow I'm making my famous Thanksgiving Dinner Meatloaf with a side of mashed potatoes. Made with ground turkey, it contains everything including the stuffing!!! Real comfort food and not so much work as a traditional thanksgiving turkey. Perfect for the two of us. Will watch the New York City Macy's Parade on TV with a nice cuppa☕🫖 in my pjs. Today I folded an origami turkey that transforms into a roast turkey! Too funny. 🦃🍗So I'm doing things that make me happy while I'm waiting to get test result and some kind of plan. It's a little nerve wracking. I'm grateful for a creative community that feeds my soul as well as my creative spirit. 💖📚🖍🖌✏🎨🧵🪡🧶
Maryann oh what fun you’re little origami turkey sounds ! So glad you are creating what makes you’re heart happy, you’re meatloaf sounds so delicious, I bet the house smells amazing. A cup of tea and pj’s sounds like such a good plan. Take good care. 🩵
💜🎶Good day Janet .. I've been watching in 15min. Internments .. finally slowly down enough to watch ya ... we came across a closet that needed digging out.. lol Thanks for the lovely video .. love the extra clips .. hugs to Freddy..💜🎶🇨🇦
Caroline oh thank you I know you have been so busy, just when you thought you had nearly finished you found another job. Worth it though, hope you are happy with the new decorations. Take good care 🎶🎼🎵
Your videos are as relaxing as sitting in a comfy chair in front of the fireplace with a good book. My life is so busy and the way that your videos relax me in the midst of that busyness is nothing short of amazing. Liberty looks incredible! I could probably do a lot of damage to the pocketbook if you know what I mean. 🤣 The birds are absolutely adorable. 🥰. The feeling that I got as you gently created with fabrics that hold sentiment along with memories…welp… I really got choked up. 😢 Anytime, I think of my dad who passed in 2021 is rough, but the holidays that are approaching are all the more difficult. He and I weren’t close for so many years but for the sake of my kids, we did EVERYTHING with him and my mom. Saying that I have no regrets is an understatement! God worked amazing moments into our relationship that have allowed me to say that I dearly loved him, and deeply miss him. 💔 So… I will absolutely be making a bird or two or three or four out of my dad’s clothing that I can share with other members of the family who miss him as much as I do. Janet…thank you my friend. ❤️
That is adorb. Cute robins Janet! (winging it 🤣)Never heard of Libertys so I had to google - it's a historic tudor building department store. At first I thought it was a Harry Potter store. 🤣 Thanks for showing us!
Janet those little birds are adorable! How lucky you were to go to Liberty! I've never been when I was in London, but it will be on my list next time I go. 💗💗💗
Ann I saw a documentary on Liberty’s once too, it showed the fabric designers painting the fabric designs, will have to check it out again. Oh thank you, I did enjoy making them 🩵
Thank-you for another inspiring video Janet, these little birds are so lovely, I had fun making a wee little one today, have sent a picture across to your instagram. Gosh what a grand building to house all that beautiful Liberty fabric, I think I could have spent several days in there. There was a Liberty store in the city of Melbourne way back in my twenties and I would go there often to marvel at the pretty dresses made out of Liberty fabric. Loved how the gelli print came out on the fabric you painted, always something new to play with and explore💖🪡🐦🐦🐦
Maria thank you so much, oh I am so pleased you had fun sewing a little Robin. Oh I never knew you had a Liberty’s in Melbourne, is it still there ? It really is such a magical shop to mooch round I know you would love it . Do hope you sleep well and have a gentle time with you’re beautiful new yarns tomorrow 🧵🧚♀️
@@janetnash Hi Janet, I woke up in the middle of the night realizing it was not Liberty's at all but a lovely store called Laura Ashleys, I'm not sure if that originates from the UK or the USA🤔🤔. They had pretty dresses in fabrics similar to Libertys, I still remember looking through them admiring all the lovely flower prints. Sleep well , I will look forward to playing with my lovely new yarns😴🎇💖
Oh yes Laura Ashley a British brand started in the 70’s I think. I absolutely loved it, there dresses had tiny prints, and looked very much like Holly Hobby, I had one in a very fine needle cord. They had a shop just round the corner from Liberty’s and one here in Croydon, but the shops closed down. That is such a lovely memory, loved there clothes and accessories. 🩵
@@janetnash They are lovely memories😊. I looked up if Laura Ashley was still trading in Melbourne, apparently they closed in 2020, but hoping to reopen again. I always felt like I was walking into another world when I visited there. I had moved down from a smallish country town to study in Melbourne , was a highlight to go into the city , the shop windows were always dressed so beautifully...yes...lovely memories...😊👗👗👗
One day maybe ? Indo hope you get a chance to visit. I am creating my first quilt, a very beginner ! using the quilt as you go method. Do hope you find times to gently sew over the next few days 🧵
Aww, Janet, such sweet little whimsical birds! Love them! I also enjoyed the field trip to the fabric store - that’s a BIG place! 😳 Thank you so much for all that you share with us! 😊❤️🐾
Thank you so much Cat yes ‘ whimsical and practical ‘ ! Oh I wish I could have shown you everything in Liberty’s some of the clothes, Christmas decorations and fabric accessories were amazing. Have a gentle week 🪴☕️
Thank you so much Janet, what a lovely video, I enjoyed it tremendously, I felt like I was there with you 😊 I noticed the origami dog immediately ♥️🐾 so well made and the painted rock from St Ives 2018 💕 I love your little Robins, here in Sweden our Robins migrate from Great Britain and then return when the weather starts to get too harsh for them here ❄️ they are my favourite birds too, I was lucky enough to have a couple in my garden this summer 🤎❤️ My love to you, Freddie and Flo, my she certainly is busy sewing on her new sewing machine 😂 x P.S. Gosh, I love that enormous mother of pearl button you looked at 🟣
Pamela oh thank you so much, I will have to go back to the button tin to check out the mother of Pearl button !! Little Robins are so special 🪴 Can you believe carols Mums mini Freddie, I have found a special place for him now. Take good care 🩵
@@janetnashThe button was in Liberty amongst all the plastic button tubes, this colour 🟣 9:42 minutes into your video 😊 it caught my eye 😂 I love mother of pearl buttons 🕊
Love your videos Janet. The pictures at Liberty amazing. We can get some Liberty fabric in USA but selection is limited. I purchased some fat quarters awhile back to make yo-yos. I will find a use for all the precious scraps.❤from Michigan.
I had such a wonderful time visiting with you and Freddie in this vid. I appreciate all the positive, caring and gentle encouragement you offer us........especially emphasizing the need to be gentle with ourselves and not expect precision and perfection in our own slow stitching . I also enjoyed the field trip to Liberty.. Yes, such eye candy on our field trip to Liberty but having said that i really prefer looking at all the beautiful things you have on your desk and throughout your home. Thank you Janet
Aww Barb’ra thank you so much for you’re encouragement, it certainly was wonderful to revisit Liberty’s after all these years ( we have tended to go to the museum k my ore recently ) yes certainly eye candy. Take good care Barb’ra and I do hope you have a cosy and creative week 💚
Good morning Janet! ✨💕🧚♀ Oh look at little origami Freddie there on your desk of treasures, so cute! 🐶 Adorable little robins. Our robins don’t seem to migrate anymore either, although when I was little they did. Then when they returned we new it was officially Spring. I’ve never heard of Liberty, thank you so much for taking us on a field trip to have a peek inside. Always enjoy seeing and learning new things. So many delightful fabrics, oh and I love the bird statues. Is that owl one modeled after the Whizzeewig owl? 🦉😉 Wow, impressive Lego model too! Thank you for always sharing such open-minded process videos and encouraging us - no pressure, no hard and fast rules, just being able to create and get into our flow whatever that means for us today. Your gentleness is very much appreciated. 🥰💕 Sending lots of love and hugs to you, Freddie (both Freddies haha!), Flo and the fam from Sophia, Evelyn Rose all the beasties and I! 🍄❤🌳🦄✨💕
Good evening Amy thank you for popping over from the Doki Doki forest 🌳 ❤️ it was magical to visit Liberty’s after so long, there always seemed other places to visit when the boys were growing up, all the museums and sights so it was lovely to go back and take it all in again. Do hope you have a creative week, you’re Autumn gluebook is fabulous 🍂 enjoy creating. Flo sends her love to Evelyn Rose 🧚♀️ and Freddie sends his love to Sophia 🐾
Iva lovely to see you, I use various things, a have an old fleece jacket ( do you call that minky ) I also have some old welly socks that I use ! oh and an old T shirt or towel. Does this help ? Let me know if it doesn’t 🩵🧵

The birds are absolutely adorable. 🥰. The feeling that I got as you gently created with fabrics that hold sentiment along with memories…welp… I really got choked up. 😢
Anytime, I think of my dad who passed in 2021 is rough, but the holidays that are approaching are all the more difficult. He and I weren’t close for so many years but for the sake of my kids, we did EVERYTHING with him and my mom. Saying that I have no regrets is an understatement! God worked amazing moments into our relationship that have allowed me to say that I dearly loved him, and deeply miss him. 💔
So… I will absolutely be making a bird or two or three or four out of my dad’s clothing that I can share with other members of the family who miss him as much as I do.
Janet…thank you my friend. ❤️
Lynn thank you so much, yes a busy time of year and can be a difficult one, maybe these gentle little birds will be a help 🫖🧵
That is adorb. Cute robins Janet! (winging it 🤣)Never heard of Libertys so I had to google - it's a historic tudor building department store. At first I thought it was a Harry Potter store. 🤣 Thanks for showing us!
Thank you so much Harmony, doesn’t Liberty’s have a Harry Pitter vibe, absolutely magical. Sending love you’re way. 🦉🩵
Janet those little birds are adorable! How lucky you were to go to Liberty! I've never been when I was in London, but it will be on my list next time I go. 💗💗💗
Thank you so much Helen 🧵
Oh yes definitely worth a visit, there is always so much to see though isn’t there ! 🩵
I would love to visit Liberty, I have watch a documentary on it, amazing store. Lovely little birds.
Ann I saw a documentary on Liberty’s once too, it showed the fabric designers painting the fabric designs, will have to check it out again.
Oh thank you, I did enjoy making them 🩵
I think these birds are so sweet!! I shared this video! TY sweet Janet! Huge hugs, Namesta 🐞🐞🐞

whimsical,practical and beautiful xxx
We will have to see what Ben says !! 🩵
Thank-you for another inspiring video Janet, these little birds are so lovely, I had fun making a wee little one today, have sent a picture across to your instagram. Gosh what a grand building to house all that beautiful Liberty fabric, I think I could have spent several days in there. There was a Liberty store in the city of Melbourne way back in my twenties and I would go there often to marvel at the pretty dresses made out of Liberty fabric. Loved how the gelli print came out on the fabric you painted, always something new to play with and explore💖🪡🐦🐦🐦
Maria thank you so much, oh I am so pleased you had fun sewing a little Robin. Oh I never knew you had a Liberty’s in Melbourne, is it still there ? It really is such a magical shop to mooch round I know you would love it .
Do hope you sleep well and have a gentle time with you’re beautiful new yarns tomorrow 🧵🧚♀️
@@janetnash Hi Janet, I woke up in the middle of the night realizing it was not Liberty's at all but a lovely store called Laura Ashleys, I'm not sure if that originates from the UK or the USA🤔🤔. They had pretty dresses in fabrics similar to Libertys, I still remember looking through them admiring all the lovely flower prints. Sleep well , I will look forward to playing with my lovely new yarns😴🎇💖
Oh yes Laura Ashley a British brand started in the 70’s I think. I absolutely loved it, there dresses had tiny prints, and looked very much like Holly Hobby, I had one in a very fine needle cord. They had a shop just round the corner from Liberty’s and one here in Croydon, but the shops closed down. That is such a lovely memory, loved there clothes and accessories. 🩵
@@janetnash They are lovely memories😊. I looked up if Laura Ashley was still trading in Melbourne, apparently they closed in 2020, but hoping to reopen again. I always felt like I was walking into another world when I visited there. I had moved down from a smallish country town to study in Melbourne , was a highlight to go into the city , the shop windows were always dressed so beautifully...yes...lovely memories...😊👗👗👗
Oh yes love a good window display, especially worth a trip when it is Christmas time.
Soooooo adorable!!!😊😊😊❤
Jeanne thank you so much 🫖🩵 go gently.
It is always been my dream to go to England and one of my stops would be to buy some Liberty fabrics. I also quilt. I'm so jealous❤
One day maybe ? Indo hope you get a chance to visit. I am creating my first quilt, a very beginner ! using the quilt as you go method. Do hope you find times to gently sew over the next few days 🧵
Aww, Janet, such sweet little whimsical birds! Love them! I also enjoyed the field trip to the fabric store - that’s a BIG place! 😳 Thank you so much for all that you share with us! 😊❤️🐾
Thank you so much Cat yes ‘ whimsical and practical ‘ !
Oh I wish I could have shown you everything in Liberty’s some of the clothes, Christmas decorations and fabric accessories were amazing.
Have a gentle week 🪴☕️
Thank you so much Janet, what a lovely video, I enjoyed it tremendously, I felt like I was there with you 😊 I noticed the origami dog immediately ♥️🐾 so well made and the painted rock from St Ives 2018 💕 I love your little Robins, here in Sweden our Robins migrate from Great Britain and then return when the weather starts to get too harsh for them here ❄️ they are my favourite birds too, I was lucky enough to have a couple in my garden this summer 🤎❤️ My love to you, Freddie and Flo, my she certainly is busy sewing on her new sewing machine 😂 x P.S. Gosh, I love that enormous mother of pearl button you looked at 🟣
Pamela oh thank you so much, I will have to go back to the button tin to check out the mother of Pearl button !!
Little Robins are so special 🪴
Can you believe carols Mums mini Freddie, I have found a special place for him now.
Take good care 🩵
@@janetnashThe button was in Liberty amongst all the plastic button tubes, this colour 🟣 9:42 minutes into your video 😊 it caught my eye 😂 I love mother of pearl buttons 🕊
Oh yes that was the button we were drawn too, we loved it too ( I will have to go back for that close up ) ! 💜
Love your videos Janet. The pictures at Liberty amazing. We can get some Liberty fabric in USA but selection is limited. I purchased some fat quarters awhile back to make yo-yos. I will find a use for all the precious scraps.❤from Michigan.
Thank you so much. Isn’t Liberty fabric so beautiful, oh the little scraps will be so beautiful to use. 🧵
Such a beautiful video ❤️ thank you for sharing Janet ❤️
Dearest JodieAnn 💜
I have many fabric scraps that are from clothing. It is fun to include in projects. ❤
Lisa isn’t it lovely to use every bit of fabric. After Monday I have started making another recipe journal, ❤️ do hope you have a creative week.
I had such a wonderful time visiting with you and Freddie in this vid. I appreciate all the positive, caring and gentle encouragement you offer us........especially emphasizing the need to be gentle with ourselves and not expect precision and perfection in our own slow stitching . I also enjoyed the field trip to Liberty.. Yes, such eye candy on our field trip to Liberty but having said that i really prefer looking at all the beautiful things you have on your desk and throughout your home. Thank you Janet
Aww Barb’ra thank you so much for you’re encouragement, it certainly was wonderful to revisit Liberty’s after all these years ( we have tended to go to the museum k my ore recently ) yes certainly eye candy.
Take good care Barb’ra and I do hope you have a cosy and creative week 💚
Always awesome
Thank you so much Sis, so hope you are having a relaxing Sunday 🩵
Good morning Janet! ✨💕🧚♀
Oh look at little origami Freddie there on your desk of treasures, so cute! 🐶
Adorable little robins. Our robins don’t seem to migrate anymore either, although when I was little they did. Then when they returned we new it was officially Spring.
I’ve never heard of Liberty, thank you so much for taking us on a field trip to have a peek inside. Always enjoy seeing and learning new things. So many delightful fabrics, oh and I love the bird statues. Is that owl one modeled after the Whizzeewig owl? 🦉😉 Wow, impressive Lego model too!
Thank you for always sharing such open-minded process videos and encouraging us - no pressure, no hard and fast rules, just being able to create and get into our flow whatever that means for us today. Your gentleness is very much appreciated. 🥰💕
Sending lots of love and hugs to you, Freddie (both Freddies haha!), Flo and the fam from Sophia, Evelyn Rose all the beasties and I! 🍄❤🌳🦄✨💕
Good evening Amy thank you for popping over from the Doki Doki forest 🌳 ❤️ it was magical to visit Liberty’s after so long, there always seemed other places to visit when the boys were growing up, all the museums and sights so it was lovely to go back and take it all in again. Do hope you have a creative week, you’re Autumn gluebook is fabulous 🍂 enjoy creating.
Flo sends her love to Evelyn Rose 🧚♀️
and Freddie sends his love to Sophia 🐾
Lovely Janet!
Cheryl oh thank you, I seem to enjoy creating small and simple projects at the moment. Do you have Cardinals ?
Origami dog must be FREDDY💜🏡🇺🇸
Lisa oh yes I was so taken back in the video I forgot to say, isn’t it so clever and adorable 🐾
Hi Janet
Iva again from Michigan
What please can be used as “wadding”
Iva lovely to see you, I use various things, a have an old fleece jacket ( do you call that minky ) I also have some old welly socks that I use ! oh and an old T shirt or towel. Does this help ? Let me know if it doesn’t 🩵🧵
Thank you Janet
Newly coming across You, and slow stitching and your awesome videos,
These bring me such peace,
Thank you
No, in Michigan we’d likely just call it a jacket or a sweatshirt
Iva thank you so much for your lovely encouraging words 🩵
Its a way of rethinking how we use clothes we don’t need anymore 🩵
