What a wonderful treat, just as Gayna finishes Vlogmays, we get an extra week of you, it's like you've been tag teaming since April.
My 57 year old sister has been doing ballet every week since she was 4 and finds it a brilliant workout 😊
Haha, oh yeah! That means we need to persuade her to do vlogs next week too 😉 How wonderful your sister has been doing ballet her whole life, I have never thought it was "for me" but I am so enjoying it! 🩰XX
Loved Lilia’s expressions and reactions in the background! ❤️😂Had me giggling away through your video. You have a lovely family. 💕
Ballet is a great way to keep fit and flexible. I started as a kid, stopped when I was 14. I started again when I turned 40 and still doing multiple classes a week. Have fun!
Ballet, looking forward to seeing more 😊
I loved Lilia in the background
Can’t wait to hear more about ballet class!
Glad you enjoyed your raucous evening out with your friend! Your music choice was brilliant on the video today! X
I can see Lilia being cheeky!!! lol She's trying to get you out of focus!! haha🤣
Happy to see you on day 2. I didn’t realize pepperoni pizza was so American but I hope you enjoyed it.
I did ballet until I was 16 and then did adult ballet classes in Inverness for a few years, it’s really great for aches and pains and stiffness.
How wonderful! 🩰 Yes I am hoping it will help with my flexibility and core strength and coordination, plus it's quite a brain workout for me trying to coordinate arms and legs 🤗
thank you for keeping me company while i weave in eleventy billion ends on my latest finished sweater!
I'm now obsessed with Hoops and Crosses, I need a new x-stitch project or three 😅
Aaaah, the guilt when having to move with a cat on one's knee. We know it so well 😾xxx
Go you.....I started Ballet in my early 30's and two pregnancies, I was doing pointe work when I had to stop as my second child just wouldn't settle in the creche. When my daughter started dancing I worked in reception a few days a week and would join in with the senior Jazz warm up routines, I loved it. I did try hiphop but it wasn't for me...also did pilates and zumba (didn't like Zumba either) Ballet is great for strength and poise x
Oh ballet class -- that sounds like a lot of fun! I took disco classes once. All we did was laugh!! Wine and knitting (and cross stitch) really don't mix, do they? Hope you had a lovely evening.
I remember doing disco dancing when I was little - I was terrible 😂 I am not bless with rhythm :) Thanks Jane! xx
I love your jazz shoes. Seeing them makes me want to go back to dancing school. Lillia was so cute in the background. She had me laughing, and laughing, she is adorable! I love your daily making vlogs!
Aw thanks Denise, she is so silly and such a happy soul 🤗 I am glad you are enjoying this little dose of vlogs, I wasn't sure whether to do it or not but glad I did :) x
Your vlogs are always loved and greatly appreciated ❤️
lovely to sit and knit while watching you craft and chat 🥰
Another great video for my tea and biscuit.
I just love you all so much, you always make me laugh and cheer me up 😍
Loved the ballet pumps, but as soon as the music started I couldn’t help but break into laughter!? 🤣🤣 can’t wait to see more of that, cheers 😍👏🥰💕🤗❤️
Haha, I couldn't resist a little Swan Lake (a nod to my future ballet career?! 😂) Thanks Joan xx
I loved Lilia's actions in the background, typical teenager 😂
I love ballet Ali! Great that your doing ballet fitness😄the sock is coming along a treat and the cross stitch project is good. Sounds like you and your friend were having a lovely time over pizza and wine. See you tomorrow
Ah thank you! Yes pizza and wine was lovely, and home to bed early too 🤗
I've been taking tap for the last 7 years, my family is used to it. Yours will get over the laughing soon. People are always a bit surprised when I say I'm a tapper.
Tapping is something else I am thinking about trying! A fun way to stay healthy :) You keep tippy tapping Jill! 🩰
Good toes, Naughty toe’s 🩰🥿 great stuff Ali, why not, it’ll fun, sock pattern is looking very effective, sounds like you have got the cross stitch bug 🐛 Love & Hugs Suze 🤗♥️ xxx
Yes! Aw! Good toes naughty toes :) I remember doing that at my childhood ballet classes! Yes I am finding cross stitch very relaxing xx
Nice point on those ballet feet🤩I love that you are doing ballet fitness. Wish we could do that in my town. I’ll just be the ballet pianist instead while Ella is dancing🩰🎹
It took me a while to find a class, and I have to drive 30 minutes to get there but it's well worth it as I find it so enjoyable! We don't have a fabulous live pianist like you there though 🎵🎹
@@LittleDropsofWonderful it sounds like so much fun🤩
Ballet is such great exercise, can’t wait to see more! I am curious to know if you have always knitted the continental way? If not, what made you change and how did you learn? I am a crocheter who can knit a bit,no problem with tension with either. I am trying to learn continental but struggling with holding the yarn/tension, finding it really frustrating!
I think you taking up ballet is great, I'd love to do that. Let them all laugh!!! You go girl🙌🙌🙌
Thanks Gail! My mum laughed so much she couldn't speak 😂 I think because I am known for my clumsiness and lack of grace! Hoping the ballet will help with that though - it's so fun! 🩰
Am enjoying the daily vlogs 💛 what book was lillia in the background , she made me laugh 😂…….. I love cross stitch but haven’t done it for years ….
I hope you enjoyed the wine 🥂🍾……….📚💘📚
That was a lovely episode, thanks for vlogging.i love that you are doing ballet.
Thank you Deborah! 😊 I am not famous for my grace and rhythm, but the classes are so fun 🩰
It's great to see you all again keep on dancing ❤
🩰🎵 Thank you Cynthia! x
Yay! I’m so pleased to see you’ve started the Trust pattern, it looks like yours is an autumnal version with the colour palette, I look forward to seeing more of it 👏
I am loving it! I am onto the first set of hearts now and looking forward to seeing if the colours I've chosen work...or don't 😅 Thanks for the free pattern! xx
❤❤❤morning Ali,,,, 😊🌅
Love ur vlogs,,,
Elaine ❤️🏠
Morning Elaine! Thank you for watching, always lovely to see your name! xx
I did ballet growing up and I’ve thought about getting back into it.
Also you have gotten me back into cross stitch! I did a lot of it in high school and college. I’ve downloaded the pattern and I’m working on another one I saw in a Facebook group.
Oh yay! I am finding it so relaxing - stick on an audio book and get lost in the stitches :) x
Twinkle toes 🩰
I loved watching…any chance you know the name of that ballet song you played? It was so pretty I would love to add to my classical music playlist! Thanks 😊
Hi Ali
I’m an American wondering what an American pizza is? I’ve never heard of it and I’m curious 😮
Love your vlogs
Usually pepperoni and cheese 🍕
At Pizza Express the American pizza is just a pepperoni pizza 🍕
😺😺😺
😻
I always wanted to learn ballet! I'm
52 and a big girl ( I'm working on that) and if I did a twirl id knock myself out with my boobs. Lol 😆 say ya, I just watch ballet! Lol
I have been doing it for about 8 weeks now and can highly recommend it! If you are on instagram check out @judelbi - she is a plus size (her words) ballerina and AMAZING (she's also on UA-cam). I also follow @_maggiavellian, another beautiful full figured ballerina who has been learning since 2021. Both such inspirational ladies! 🩰 xx
Hello Lilia.
😄👋🏻
Well how rude of you to displace Mia (Not My Cat) by removing her from your knee... When a feline floof sits on your knee, you are required by law to remain seated until Dick Docks. This is a Statute of Law passed by Purrliament elebenty billion months ago and is a punishable offence. 😅 I love that cardy you wore to go meet your friend, it looks so comfy, I remember you knitting it. Take care and see you tomorrow. 😊
😂 I know I know, I fully expect to receive my full punishment from Mia over the next few days and weeks. She is already trying to sit on my laptop as I type, to teach me a lesson! Thanks Trisha xx
Lillia 😅
It makes editing highly entertaining 😂
totally On Pointe!! 🙂💕🌻🦘 see what I did there!! 🤣
Excellent! 😄 🩰
