I’d like to add about being a UA-camr or podcaster or whatever. Keep your circle so small. A bunch of cut throat folks out there and not many genuine and true people in our community.
ABSOLUTELY
Amen Michael 💗
100% this!!!!
Mdl you guys are exactly right you know I got hurt that's why I took my channel down for a while I'm trying to figure out a way to come back❤❤
Absolutely ❤
Jennifer, I just absolutely love you and your channel! I always have a smile on my face while watching you! ‘it must be really hard to relax with a stick up your butt’ 😂😂😂😂 You’re the best!
OK, so, the very first time I saw you, you spoke to my soul. HAHA. YOU were cleaning out your yarn closet and WIPs. Literally sitting inside the closet. I thought, ohhh, look at that yarn. 😮 my kids had just flown the coop so I thought ... hmm, I should have more yarn. I've got two spare rooms. So here i am, with all this luscious yarn and NOWHERE FOR MY KIDS TO SLEEP when they come to visit. Lol. Stay blessed. I also have a special place in my heart for Little Man. Reminds me so much if my son. Different (in a good way) socially awkward just like my son and I. Love when Mr Cinnamon is on too. ❤❤
Joyce your remark sounds like me, I made our spare room into a yarn room and it is wall to wall with a twin bed in the middle so my great granddaughter can come spend the night occasionally. The other day I told her she was being crazy to which she replied, "well I do sleep and hang out in a padded room." She is a funny girl, whom I love dearly.
@deborahb2lil2latemashburn thats hilarious.
I love your windchimes. Mine have been quiet. We love you because you are genuine. You are open and honest. 😊❤
So I’m subscribing because this video was so right on. I watch other crochet channels and now understand the stress they are under to keep up. I see the exhaustion in their faces and worry they are headed for a meltdown. The crochet channelers are so talented and once they are “out there” the pressure is on. Then, we as viewers expect more and more. Shame on us. We need to appreciate more that you are out there offering what you know and at times how to do it. The internet can be both amazing and horrible. For 2025 our mission as viewers should be to support and give positive feedback to those that go on line every day with amazing content . Thank you, keep up the good work girl, “we gots your back”!!
I appreciate the support so much.
I love seeing and listening to you during my day!
This was really nice, I love it! I enjoy your messages and stories along with all the beautiful yarn I really don't understand some of these people today. So freaking entitled and selfish and and rude!! What ever happened to "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"? Oh well, you deal with it nicely 😁 I like your tips for being a podcaster. They are so right on. You make my day everytime I look into seeing what you are up to. So does Sandy @ Crochet Canada Eh! I get my coffee and sometimes breakfast, curl up on my bed and watch you two every morning (sometimes it is brunch ....). Much love to all the family. Hope you are having a wonderful day!
Good morning, Jen. I loved this. You tell it like it is. No BS, no drama, just the facts with a light touch of humor or seriousness as is appropriate. Your authentic description is refreshing, thank you. I love it when you give permission to 'fudge' things, keeping it real. As far as Little Man is concerned, he is incredibly blessed with his brilliance and a mom who not only recognizes that but supports him fiercely! I admire you for that selflessness. I know it's isn't easy or always rewarding, but you are killing it! My day isn't the same without a little Cinnamon to spice it up. 👏 👏
Thank you! I appreciate it.
@@CinnamonStitches I don’t have your way with words ir the above commenter, but, “What she ⬆️ said” is how I feel about you. You could be my daughter and I could be Little Man’s grandma anytime!😊
@dianesass9901
Totally agree with your comment. I think in general that podcasters do the best they know how to do, and some probably don't have a resource to ask for advice. I still see terrible, personal comments, and knowing how I am, I would take them personally. Last year, a podcaster did a wonderful video on ideas for organizing fabric that was wonderful and so helpful. However, there were comments ridiculing how she applied her makeup and what she should do going forward. I was embarrassed just reading them. Thank goodness people jumped on the commenters and gave them a what for. I'm especially bothered by commenters calling out podcasters from another country. "Speak English", they will complain. My God, how rude. There are ways to fix that, and being rude to them is not one of them. Most of the world is bilingual, as English is a commonly taught language. Can't say the same thing about people in America.
I took an exit, so got off track, but I do agree with everything you, and Diane said. Best advice you said, " This is my channel and if you don't like it, turn it off". Little Man gets so excited being on camera with you and he's certainly not shy. Thanks for being you and bringing us into a small corner of your world. Big hugs!
Thank you for your friendship!!!! 😊
Any time
Love this video, and your shirt is definitely on Point. Yes, you’re hilarious.
I watch your videos everyday even tho I don’t always get the time to comment.
Hi Jen! Man you made me smile today and thank you for saying I’m delightful! Some of your amazing community have come to say hi which is lovely and I’m so happy to have them visit my house too! You are a shining light and an awesome friend and I’m so thankful to have you in my corner. I am always in yours too 💖🦩🌈
💜💜💜💜💜
Interesting! I wake up and watch you while having coffee every day. Great way to start my day. Thank you for your honesty and humor!
Excellent video. I don’t have any desire to be a podcaster but so enjoy you and your perspective on so many things. And, I’m so sorry you receive any negative at all. Such a waste of everyone’s time and energy
That’s exactly it; you are your true authentic self ❤
I don’t comment a lot but I always watch you almost as soon as you post. I feel connected to you. Your childhood was a lot like mine. So I consider you my friend.
To the lady that thought Lucas was to loud, I found it so fun when Lil Man was on and I look forward to him coming back on. So what you didn't like I loved.
I do agreed w/you abt loving seeing Lucas every now and then, enjoying his energy. The fact that she said she couldn’t relax bcuz he was loud, too bad for her since Jen is not her paid therapist.
I enjoyed watching this. I enjoy spending time with you no matter what you decide to share with us. 🤗 Being that we grew up in the same area in Michigan, I know all the places you talk about, I feel like we know each other. I know that might sound crazy but, that's how I feel. 😊 I can relate to the family things you talk about.
I raised 3 boys born within 4 yrs. Sometimes I felt like pulling my hair out.🤪
We have always been close. Today they are all married with children and we are a close family. They still confide in me which warms my heart.💝 I am truly blessed in so many ways. 🙏🏻 God's blessings to you and the family. 🙏🏻💝
Wishing you a beautiful blessed weekend!🙏🏻💖
Thank you for being you. Thoughtful,honest, hilarious, informative, truthful, trustworthy, teacher, and friend. ❤
Hi Jen. Watching you is like sitting at the kitchen table drinking tea with a friend! I didn't know you tube existed til about 4 years ago abd now I watch a lot of crochet and other channels. Thank you!
I love your channel! Thank you for posting this! A few months ago I tried to make a few crochet videos on my own channel, but stopped because some of the comments were just... wild. What you do on this channel isn't easy and there are so many of us out here who appreciate you!!
The videos you've done the last couple of days in which you just sit and talk have been some of my favorite ones. They've been totally relaxing. Have a good day!
I remember the time that Crystal from Bag O Day shouted you out when you first started your channel. You were so excited and surprised. LOL
I’m a diamond painter who found crochet through a you tuber who also crochets, I found you before you came on camera and liked your style and enthusiasm. I now feel like you are my yarny family. I watch every day because I have to do life every day and you give me my crafty fix while I’m adulting. Your tutorials have encouraged me to make wearables and at the moment I’m making my own design poncho. YOU DID THAT! thank you for being my you tube friend and keeping me sane while all around me chaos reigns 😂😂😂
Thank you!! Im so glad to be part of your yarny family
Hey there! 🧶I’m a little late today but normally I watch you first thing. Love your daily videos.
Good Morning Jenn. Sitting here thinking about all the hard work you do for all of us putting together videos each day Thank You for a little behind the scenes look at how it works. Thank You for being YOU each day. I am TEAM JENN !! 🎉🎉 I hope you have a great weekend 😊
Team Jen! Yay!!
Jennifer, when I found you first on UA-cam I was very critical about you talking about your personal business. But I loved your personality and the things you made. Over the time I started to look forward to your videos and how the stories continued that you were talking about. Now I feel happy when I see a new post from you. I like your sense of humor and you seems to be very humble and sincere. Love from Germany and sorry about my bad English grammar.
Your english is fantastic. And im glad you enjoy spending time with me
The 'paint by number with dots' is called diamond painting and ironically I got a new one yesterday, lol. I havent done one in a few years but I do like it a lot.
BTW, you are the bright spot in my day! I love your channel and videos like today and yesterdays are great, as great as your regular yarny content! I consider you a very good friend and your videos are always like us having tea and just visiting with each other.
Keep smiling, Jenn, keep being YOU! You got this and I luvya girl!❤❤
I appreciate that so much Texana
You are so right! If you are being yourself you not only succeed but enjoy yourself. You are part of my morning helping me keep going. It IS like sitting down with a friend who understands. My 52 year old son had a stroke so he needs to live with me for now. My daughter has severe anxiety/agoraphobia and also with us. But we get through every day with some tears, mutual support, and a weird sense of humor - mostly the last! We got this.
You are hilarious, shirt win!! I usually listen to you first thing in the morning because I just need to have a smile in my day. Thanks for being you.
I'm getting caught up on your videos. But just a reminder we love everything about you. You're so real and have helped so many people by sharing your truth. I am forever grateful to you for that. And who couldn't love Lil' Man! That alone is reason enough to block them. Geez . Sending my love to you and your family ❤
Thank you for sharing! I've been trying to find the balance for me and keep in mind my reason for doing a channel. I appreciate your list of don'ts
you are an amazing human..i watch you everyday whether i comment or not. i watch just because you help me get through my day i love you.
Thank you, that means so much to me.
I love your channel because of your sense of humor and your personality. You are real and mostly honest 😂😂😂 (reference to your yarn confession ). ❤❤
Lol
Thank you Jennifer🤗 Thank you for being your authentic, true self and telling it/us, like it is! Your common sense, your honesty, your kindness, your sense of humour that I get and that can make me smile, giggle and laugh! I love your thoughtfulness and insight on so many subjects! You have a unique talent for how you express your thoughts and in the way you break it down and explain. You have a wonderful way with words that makes me want to listen to you talk all the time. I enjoy and appreciate these talks of yours so much! I am so happy for Lucas and you on this home school journey together. I love watching and listening to the two of you. Jennifer- you are a wonderful mother and teacher! You are able to make any subject, whether it is about yarn, crochet, dog care and training, about many aspects of history, geography, Algebra and so much more - so interesting and I want to know more myself!
Also thank you for your kind words and encouragement when we had talked about my grandson quite awhile back now. It’s still a huge struggle for him and his mom. One or two steps forward then one to three steps backward. Every day is a new day. Every day is different and we never lose hope. Have a great weekend Jennifer! I hope your whole family has a good one!😘🥰🤙❤️🇨🇦
I love your honestly. You are teaching me so much about life and crochet and I get so much out of your channel. That's why you are the only channel I have a membership to. 🙂
That means so much to me.
Jenn I knew after the first video I watched of your channel that I was hooked. I have continued to watch and I want to thank you so much for making my mornings better. ❤
Thanks for this video Jennifer! Over the past year or two, I have thought if I was younger and still running my sewing business, UA-cam would be the way to go! I'm still considering it, but then what do I do? Sewing, crocheting, children's story time, so many options. The retired teacher in me has enjoyed watching you and Lucas relax and unwind from the stress of public school. Each time you have Lucas join you on the channel, I see a calmer and more relaxed Lucas! He is studying things that he is passionate about and moving at his own accelerated pace. My hubby and I had 4 special needs kids and we put them in a small private school where they each flourished. A parent is the best advocate for their child and what they need to thrive. Happy Saturday everyone!
Good Morning Beautiful! ❤ Love visiting with you and seeing how y'all are doing. You are amazing and soo down to earth. Have a Wonderful weekend and Stay warm. ❤
Thank you!
So true, Jennifer! You just have to press record and start! But, as Michael said, surround yourself with true, supportive friends.
Good morning, I am so happy you have grown your channel into what it has become!!!! I so look forward to seeing you and hearing your words. I love absolutely everything about your channel and at my house when my husband asks what I'm watching I tell him Bentley's mom and he knows exactly who you are. Have a great weekend and give all your doggies a hug!!!!❤
That is so sweet, thank you!
You are a very real person and that's something I absolutely love about you and your channel. We are quite alike. Love you bunches! God bless you and your family girl!!!
Thank you for telling the plus and minus of a channel. I love real talk!
Hope you have a great day! I love watching your pups.
Thank you for your honest truth ! My oldest son is moving out so I am getting a craft room while it’s sad but happy at the same time ❤
I need a shirt like that because I have to keep reminding my husband that I truly am hilarious. He's a slow learner, bless him.
Torrid
I just enjoy watching you and whatever you decide to share 😊! Thanks Jen, take care🙏🏻🤗💕!
We’re getting 4 more inches of snow hear this evening in WV. I do plan to enjoy it. I lost track of how much but close to a foot. The first thing that drew me to your channel was the there was picture of you crocheting on grassy hill. I absolutely love that photo, and that was who I wanted to know. I was always taught that if you can say anything nice don’t say anything at all. Love your channel, you and your family. Have a great weekend.❤
I really enjoy your videos and haven't missed any of them since I started watching. Like today's video was available around 3pm my time (South Africa). I really relate to you and we have so many similarities in our personalities. So I just wanted to say have a lovely weekend 😊
Omg! When you mentioned yarn avalanche!! I keep yarn in my walk-in closet and my daughter’s friend came in with me once. She told me to remember to bring my phone in there with me just in case the yarn caves in on top of me and I need to call for help! 😅😂🤣❤️🧶
I'm at work while watching this....I just watched a coworker walk away wearing a fall out boy t-shirt....so appropriate....lol
I love your honesty and straightforward speech....I relate so much to you....❤❤❤😊😊😊🎉
Jenn you spoke to my soul today. I felt the same about Sams video. Like you said, just be you ad do what feels right to you and your tribe will follow 💗. And think that Lucas is absolutely adorable
Have a wonderful day. Always great to hear from you. Blessings♥
Love this ! Love that you are so real!❤ And if they don’t like what they see they can not watch !😊
This video was very interesting not what I was expecting for today, but I’m glad you put that out. Thank you, Jennifer.
I'm glad you liked it!
Good morning! Thank you for this video! I so enjoy listening to you and value your words! ❤
This video is why I love your channel. You are REAL and honest about the reality. I encourage others to start a channel often. But I'm also quite honest about what it takes to keep a channel going, no matter what your content looks like. I wonder how many of us would be honest that at some point we've all thought about walking away.
Good morning Jen, i hope you are having a wonderful day ❤❤
Good morning! You too!
Thank you for being YOU!!❤❤❤❤
Good morning Jen! I love to watch you partly because you remind me of my oldest daughter! She doesn't live by me so I miss her alot!! Thank you for being You ❤
You are such a positive person and I get to chuckle with you and I always look forward to seeing you
Very informative video! I totally agree that more important to be kind. You owe us nothing.... And none of us have the right to demand anything.
Good morning, I loved your video. I love you & Lucas. I enjoy when he comes on. I love hearing about your family, and fur babies it is a really a joy. I think of all of us as a family.
Hi Jen!! Love your honesty! Thank you for all you do!!
Thank you so much!
I watch you during work between phone calls. I know your video is safe if someone walks by and hears your video.
I watch you all the time but don't always comment. I love all your podcasts. No matter the content.
Thank you
I absolutely love you 😘. I have enjoyed all your videos BUT the last 2 about your thoughts have been the best.
I love you sweetheart. Thank you for staying true ❤
This video was very interesting. I love the way you just talk like me. Just keep up what you are doing. I have learned so much about plus size crochet.❤❤
I appreciate your realness! ❤
Your video is the first one I look for when I go into my tablet 😊
Thanks for bein REAL Jen!!❤ Granny ang in WA state
Love this video! Thank you. It's good to hear the knitty gritty about being a content creator. I'm not sure why people feel the need to spout poison these days. I know that I was taught from a young age, "if you don't have anything nice (or constructive) don't say anything." Keep'er coming & take care ❤ P.S. My kids are grown and I would still watch a homeschool channel. Actually a "Cinnamon Adventures" channel, with homeschooling, days out and just regular daily adventures would be amazing!
Rande seems like a lovely person. I have posted a couple of things in the fb group, most often when I am trying to figure out how to do something. She is usually the first one to comment and offer suggestions and is always a cheerleader.
I have only reading podcasts for maybe 2 yrs bu3t now I spend too much time usually at night too late.i want to know what everyone has to say re knitting and crocheting some times I get posts I'm not interested in and have no idea why thanks for teaching me and redingmy repliesw
Good Morning Jen🤗 You do such a wonderful job every day with your videos. You teach us so much, and you share your life with us. I love seeing you every day first thing. You start my day🥰 You have some great advice for all of us on so many topics. Have a great weekend, see you Monday🥰❤️
Good morning Sue!
@@CinnamonStitchesThank you❤️
Wow!!! Had no idea!!!
I like to see Lil Man!! He’s so cute!! I’ve come to feel like you someone I could sir down and have tea with…. And laugh my hinney off!!! lol
Thanks for sharing Jennifer I don’t miss a video
I’m glad I found your channel!! I’d love to see you model the headband I sent !!
I'm fffffffaaaaaasattttttt. And I absolutely love you❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for all you do❤
Thank you Jen for being honest. I look forward to your videos everyday.
We are who we are because of the events we survived and lived through with the coping skills we developed along the way. No two people saw each event the same way, I have 3 sibblings and we all remember our childhood differently, we see through our eyes not the eyes of others, the main objective, we are individuals♥Be kind to one another, God bless, be safe and stay well.
Sad I'm not on Facebook or Instagram to see your posts, but I'm vowing to never be on social. Never have, never will! Just UA-cam.
I REALLY enjoy this community and I'm happy to catch up with you almost every day. You make us feel like we have another human who has gone through a lot the same trials and tribulations as us. We're not alone. Spread the love, people. We need it! Thx for all you do for us, Jen. Personally, I do NOT take you for granted. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Here's to a successful new year for you and your family. We'll be here for it! 😊👍🧶
I appreciate your support so much. And im so glad you are here
@CinnamonStitches 🥰💜🥰
@CinnamonStitches Sorry for the late watch. We've been cooking all day in case we lose power here in Georgia. There's ice everywhere😬🧊🥶
@karenb6791notakaren no need to explain. Stay safe and warm
You so make me smile. I don't think I comment a lot but I do post on facebook now and then. What makes me like you... You are so real. You don't hold anything back. You also remind me a lot of myself though I think I'm about 10 years older. I like the feeling that you and I live close together. We both want to move into homes that are further out in the country. I understand about the Jones's, when I first started watching youtube I would be 'I want that yarn' and I'm still that way but now I pick and choose what to buy and in 6 months, if it's something I still want, I might do that. I did that with Neon yarn a few weeks ago. And I'm going through my yarn now, did some yesterday and I squealed when I came across yarn thats now discontinued. I love watching you, I love watching your creativity and I wish I could pick up yarn and just make a pattern but sadly thats not my skill. I have enough yarn now that when you say go shop your stash, I so can do that and it makes me so happy.
Thank you for this video ❤❤❤. I enjoy your videos ❤❤❤
Yes, you are on the right track and offer great advice. I have been watching several of the UA-camrs evolving. I see some of those things you are mentioning happening to them.
You are such a empathetic person, loving, intelligent, and caring. Well, aren’t WE lucky for all you share…..❤
I love ur channel and was drawn to u cuz u look like me and you make plus size clothing and inspired me to crochet sweaters for my body which is my 2025 goal thank u for doing what u do❤
Hi Jennifer.I watch you all the time but don't always comment. I love all your podcasts.
greetings from Germany.😘❤
I see you comment frequently! And i appreciate you being here
I'm a special needs mom who watches every day. My son is one of the ones who will be here forever. He is the absolute light of my life. I am also on the larger side and I love yarn! I honestly feel like a friend of yours and you definitely feel like a friend of mine. If you ever plan a trip to Maine I will gladly tell about the best spots to visit.
One day i dream of visiting Maine
Good morning Jen. 🌈 you tell it like it is. We appreciate you and all the things you do. Have a terrific weekend with your family. 💜
The video with your son was the absolute best! I loved every minute!
Thank you
Great advice and information. Thanks so much!
omg! Little man is adorbs! Glad she is not here. You go girl!
I am a knitter, do not know how to crochet. But I watch crochet podcasts because you people are way more fun!
Thank you very much for sharing this information. I have been thinking UA-cam to do what you do. Now I am really interested.
Good morning Jen. I hope this doesn't sound lame, but it doesn't matter WHAT you talk about, I feel like I sit down with my best friend after work (I work overnight) and just hang out and chat for a bit. You, obviously, don't hear my side of the conversation, but rest assured, WE talk. 😂😂 Thank you for being the beautiful, honest, unapologetic hot mess that I have grown to absolutely adore.❤❤❤ Have a great weekend.
That makes me so happy to hear! Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Jennifer. This video was informative. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you have a great weekend too.
Take care.
Looove this video it's so real and honest
Good morning Jen, thank you for making this video. It’s given me lots to think about. Several times throughout the years of me watching UA-cam I’ve thought about making my own channel and what you shared today helps. I really appreciate you and all your videos. I love your personality and how real you are in your videos. You bring me so much joy and happiness. So thank you for being you!!! I love Lucus as well, he makes me laugh and he reminds me of my son when he was little. I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you and all you do.
I hope you have a wonderful day!!! Hugs 🤗
Good morning
Hi Jen, I so enjoy the community you have created 😊your work and efforts are so much appreciated ♥️ Really enjoy the chat videos 😊
Thank you so much!
