  • I had my big plan for August all laid out, I was properly on it........and then came a spanner in the works..........but I'm glad of the spanner, the spanner has given me a bit of a shake up.......August will be different and I can't wait! It is going to be the weirdest holiday ever.

    Short videos sounds like a great idea. As a regular viewer I enjoy all that you already do. Re cooking videos: you have reliable information on food values, vitamins, minerals etc. also how to add herbs and spices for flavour. I enjoy oatmeal much more with cinnamon for example. Best of luck with August, be kind to yourself.

    Poor Vivi,
    I can understand so well how you feel about your migraines. I only spent six days indoors and spent many hours in bed because it was so bad this time.
    I haven't finished watching your video yet, I'm still right in the middle of it.
    I find your decision very reasonable to cut back on UA-cam and to focus on sewing. And now your sewing machine is on strike.
    In Germany they say: "If it comes, then it will get fat!" Which means so much, if something goes wrong, not just a little, but right.
    Don't you have anyone with your garden friends or with your neighbors who can borrow a sewing machine until yours is repaired? - That would be my suggestion so far.
    So now I'm going to finish watching your video, then I'll get back to you.
    Until then, the biggest hug around the world
    Your Claudia

    Sounds as if you've got lots to do in August Vivi. Self-care is always a good idea. I hope your sewing machine can be repaired, but if not, please know that you have friends who would be happy to contribute to the purchase of a new one. Perhaps also an ergonomic sewing machine table / work station, since you'll be spending so much time sewing.

    Enjoy your "holibob" Vivi, much as I love keeping up with your videos it willl give me a chance to dip into the back catalogue. The idea of little 10 minutes or so visits on a more frequent basis is lovely, a guilt free sit down with tea and telly, just what a busy person needs. I understand how you must feel about losing the sewing machine for that time, when my big Janome goes for her service I almost pace the floor. My other half was so fed up with me that a couple of years ago he bought me a small Singer to "tkeep me calm"!. Fingers crossed that all goes well at the repair shop.

    UA-cam has definitely changed over the years. Please continue your videos even if it’s short videos..no pressure🙂😂 One things I’ve learned. Keep life simple as you can. Take your time doing jobs. Nothing has to be finished in one day. That one has been the hardest for me. Slow and steady wins the race. You can’t wait for August and I can’t wait for that Fall air to come. It’s been boiling here too. Take care of yourself Vivi and I hope your head feels better soon.✌🏼❤️

    When my Singer went out, it cost more to fix it than it cost to buy an inexpensive Brother's sewing machine. I have been so happy with this machine. Even though it only cost 75.00 us dollars, it works better than both Singer's did.

    • @primrozie

    Giving yourself a break is brilliant - especially with your impending migraine. There are a few very good UA-cam channels where you can learn the way the UA-cam algorithm works and if you’re going to take time out, why not focus on the business of UA-cam & come back stronger than ever ?

    Vivi you are such a sweet person. There are so many people who would find whatever you do entertaining. Have you ever thought of writing a book? Instead of selling someone else's books, you could sell your own. So many creators are writing books and doing very well. Use the UA-cam platform to your advantage while you have it. Sorry, but I am also self supporting through my own contributions and always looking for ways to earn some extra cash. People enjoy helping you!😊

I still have soil problems at the allotment, this year has been dreadful so some of your knowledge on what to do to improve it, etc may come in handy to other people as well as me, it isn't easy growing stuff and your full of knowledge.

    Do what you have to do, Vivi. Your health is #1 priority, then do some fun things. You deserve it. Oh, and repair shops sometimes have unclaimed machines they'll sell for the cost of repairing it. It might be good to have a spare in the future.

    Hopefully, there will be a change with the youtube ads, I have noticed the type of ads have changed, a couple of months ago they were very long 5/6 min ones but now seem to be a bit shorter and more like they were previously.

    I love your videos as so many others do too. Little videos where you won’t have the editing headache sound like a great idea as then you will still have a trickle of income from them. I know that you struggle to understand how much we value you and wonder if you would be offended if someone set up a go fund me page to help with the repairs or even a new machine if the repairs are too eye watering? xx

    Greetings,
    In regards to the sewing machine repair shop, do they rent sewing machines to use, while yours is being repaired? If that is not the case, could you not queue up everything you want to sew, ie, have it all cut out and pinned?

    • @WhatVivididnext
      @WhatVivididnext  4 роки тому

      Oh I hadn't thought about them renting machines......that's a good thought for if it happens again.......but for now I'm actually quite happy to be without it and focus on other things.... :-)

    Ooh, do you think you could give me a clue to where your fabric shop is? My local market has a good fabric stall but is obviously limited in the variety they can sell and it would be great to see something different. eBay is great, but it's nice to be able to see the fabrics in real life before purchasing. Good luck with your "holiday", Vivi. I for one will be coming along for the ride. Here's your piña colada 🍸

Anyway as I watched I kept thinking why not do the videos like today but shorter here and there and then you said so lol Thankyou for your honesty in regards to what you may or may not do! Personally much prefer! I wish you all the best in whatever you decide and deserve! Love Colette I subscribed just before you I believe and actually was a video ages back that she mentioned you and Richard and Paul and the rest is history they say! And to quote yourself YAY!

    Hi Vivi . Over the three years your videos have been consistently more interesting and better presented than the two gardening shows here is Australia, which are virtually unwatchable - the national Broadcaster's one is full of covert and overt political subtexts, and the commercial one because it is stuffed full of advertising in one way or another. In each case one feels as though one is constantly batting away the annoying extraneous content just to get to the meagre scraps of genuine content.

    reselling books seems like a really good idea with generating some income. no need to be ashamed of needing some income. even natives on islands do trading when they can. you do use some machines and services, so a bit of cash generation or in the bank would be very useful for you.

    It's important to talk about money, it helps people who live on a tight budget. I have to say, I find the fact that you need to pay for rent of the land where your house is, despite owning the house, is hard to accept and that's why I left London, the UK, to Europe. I own my small house and I pay nothing, all I pay is €90 per year for the rubbish and around same amount, even less I'd sat, for water, that's it! My only problem is I'm unable to generate any income here in Italy..if I make 15 euro one week I'd be happy..that's not good..I'd love to start a UA-cam channel and a blog but I don't have a camera or even a computer!! How I'm going to buy them if I'm not making any money? 😞😰

I have no control over what adverts appear and the length of them though.....I hate the ads that go on for more than a minute so please do skip those.......very tedious! Or go make a cup of tea.
