    Wow, Mr. Ceri. You're a jack-of-all-trades! My studio does the same for me (keeps me sane). I watch your videos while I craft. You bring sunshine (and joy) into my space. Thank you. "I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life.." Jesus

    A delight to listen to you Ceri, as always! Thank you for taking the time to share your life’s experiences, I understand how your craft room makes you feel, mine is my sanctuary where I can leave the world behind the door, and be creative, experimental or just play…😊

    Your wisdom is very helpful. "Trust the process" and "Walk away for now. Come back to it later." Have "saved me" more times than i can count.
    I'm looking forward to these videos. I don't know enough to even ask questions yet, but thanks to you and a few others, I'm learning and having a blast. Your stories are adorable! ❤❤❤

    Enjoyed listening as I'm tidying my studio space. Love that you spoke about "working through the ugly" and failed creations. I firmly believe that the creative process is more important than the creative product. There's joy in the process; and growth in the process. Love your honesty and giggling tonight with your stories. Diolch yn fawr cariad 🥰

    That was really lovely Ceri. I especially loved to hear you laughing about the cake decoration stories. What an extraordinary life you’ve had., so much to tell, so much accomplished. You are such a lovely and generous person. I am so glad I searched a video about how to ground paper dolls and that’s when I found you! Thank you for all you do for us. Hugs from the Netherlands.

    Dear Ceri, all I can say I thank you for the geli July challenge. I enjoy your videos. Came across your videos a little while ago and enjoy your soothing crafters voice and knowledge. (By the way, I don't have a problem with you saying 'hi guys' either.) You just do you.

    Ceri, I feel bad that people have to ask about your wages, I think it's not my business, just my opinion. You are an amazing person; you have always encouraged me and at this time in my life I needed it. Your stories are funny and very knowledgeable too. Thank you for all you have done for all of us. Enjoy your weekend.

      I think people ask about earnings from UA-cam because some of the figures quoted are so extraordinary it’s hard to believe, also some ask because they wonder if it’s worth the effort of starting a channel of their own. I’m never offended as I can always choose to not newer the question. Thank you.

    I still have lots of documentaries and books on Egypt and they serve me well.

    Every third project: that is intriguing because I recently heard about the rule of thirds in creating. One-third of what you make, you'll love; one-third, you'll hate; and one-third will just be okay.

    I am behind. I understand about the cake. We have a small fair here and one fair goer thought I shouldn't enter my quilts. I machine quilt so I did it all myself and get rosette ribbons. Best of show. If I can't enter then I feel like I cannot grow more as a quilter, start to finish. They have no professional class, plus I am not professional. So I understand.

      They are pieces of acrylic some call them plexiglass, if you’re in the states wine hardware store sell it and cut it as window replacement. Here in the UK I just ordered it on eBay. Just be careful as it can have sharp edges and corners if cut.

    Ok you had me rolling with not recognizing Ann Margret hilarious, and your wizzing around ya I can see the misunderstanding on that word, and these days many ppl use their middle finger to point out things even. New word to use could be whipping instead of wizzing that hilarious, and after living in England for 2 yrs I found many words the Brit’s use that us in the USA would never use, like 2 things with cigarettes, one never call them fags and the butt end in the UK it’s a dog end, here dog end is dog remains. lol there are a few more that I found interesting, but the at was many moons ago in the UK (1980-82) Tfs your fun life. ❤😊
