Oh Cindy! It's good to see you on camera again🤗 I'm glad - for you and us - that you were able to make this video. Love all your makes and anecdotes😂 Hugs to your mom and you as you take care of both of you. Being an able caregiver can take every ounce of everthing you have to give. 🩵🤎🩵
Oh girl, you’re so right. It’s an exhaustion that’s hard to explain because the mental aspect is equally and sometimes more challenging. Thank you for understanding but I’m so glad to hear from you! Sending big hugs your way! 💜💓💜
It was nice catching up Cindy. Your new makes are adorable . That little monster would make anyones day! 🤗🤗🤗🤗 Prayers for you and the family my friend.❤
Hello sweet Caroline! 💓 Thank you so much and I hope you’re doing well. I’m trying to catch up on everything I’ve missed, but I’m still very far behind. Ugh. But I’m sending you big ole hugs! 💓💓
So glad to have you back amongst us! I can attest to the fact that caregiving is not for sissies! Just don't forget to take care of yourself while you are taking care of your momma. I love all the Halloween makes! That last owl you showed is adorable! Keep up the spirits (both nonalcoholic and alcoholic)! I'm already looking forward to your next video. Much love!
Bless all of you! Great to see you. So glad you are getting help caring for your mom. I can't imagine how stressful this time has been for all of you, but you especially. I truly admire you and your devotion to your mom. She's such a lucky lady. Gregory is one of my favorites! 😂 Very cute projects! Take care of yourself! ❤😊
Ohhh it’s so good to see you back!!! So glad your mama is on the road to recovery. ❤️🩹 You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for the fun and the laughs. ghoul-io Iglesius!!!😅😂 You are my idol!! 😂😂😂 hahaha. One day you’re gonna make me pee my pants.
Hello sweet Tris!! I haven’t seen your name in a long time, so happy you’re back! Yes, Ghoulio was quite the scream this holiday. 🤪 Hoping to get a video done soon, but hope you had a great Thanksgiving with your little turkeys and got your running shoes on for Christmas….cause it goes so fast. Sending warm Texas hugs up north to you! ❤️💓❤️
So happy to see you Cindy. Thank you for making the time for this video. You certainly have had a lot to contend with. Happy to hear your mum is doing well. I love your Halloween decorations and makes. Take care and stay hydrated and happy. You always make me smile and laugh with you wonderful sense of humour and life. See you soon ❤❤❤
Hello my dear! 👋😍 I’m so glad we got to share some laughs together. I always imagine we are at a big table playing with yarn and telling tall tales. Wishing you a great week! 💜💓💜
I have missed you too! I think you and your mom have had way too many adventures lately ❤️🩹 I usually rewatch all your videos multiple times and you are too hard on yourself if you don't think we should watch the older videos - they are also awesome! 🤩 . I still giggle when i think of your son's panda 😂😂🫣🐼 Love to you and your mom and now we aim for 5000🎉
Awe, my twinsie waaaaaaay far away. Hello sister👋😍. You’re too sweet, thank you for tolerating me even back in the beginning (🫣🤣) bless you! And that god forsaken panda is still hidden in my so sons closet. 🤣 hope you’re doing well. 💕💕
Oh how we missed 12 year old Cindy!! 😂❤ Welcome back friend. I absolutely love Ghoulio 😂 I can’t even imagine how stressful your Mum’s accident has been for you and your family 😢 glad to hear that she is on the (long) road to recovery ❤ much love from Aus xx 😘
Hello Jenny!! Hope you’re doing well. I’m so behind on video watching, but I know you have been busy. Thank you for sticking around! Sending big hugs down your way!💓
You're back!! Great to catch up with again, Cindy. I'm so glad you've maintained you're wacky sense of humour through the last 6 weeks or so. Best wishes to you, Mum, and your children too - they must've been really worried about their grandmother. I look forward to watching your upcoming videos....whenever you feel able to get more done. 🎉🎉🎉
I’m so sorry about your Mom, may she heal soon ❤ Thank you for this video, it was fun. I love all your named for everything, Ghoulio Iglesias was my fave, he looks so chill 😁
Oh, ghoulio is such a great guy. He loves full moons, dark fall nights, the song thriller and of course pumpkin spice lattes. 🤣👻☕️💓 Thank you for stopping by!
I have watched all of your videos and I laugh a lot, just keep putting out the videos when you can I’m in it for the haul. Glad you’re back and once again I hope your mom heals fast, thank you for sharing your story with us.
So glad to see you’re back. I’ll be watching for more of your fun videos whenever you have the time to put one out. Take care of you so you can take care of mom. God bless!
Welcome back, love your Halloween makes❤ You take care of yourself and your mom first, don't worry about videos, we aren't going anywhere, we will be here when you come back, just like now with this video 😊❤❤
Hello Rumi, so glad to have you back and extremely happy your mama is doing much better ❤️🩹 Here’s a tip, take real Welch’s grape juice and a sprite over a tat bit of ice (a little bit more juice than sprite) eventually it will give you a good buzz. That monster is my favorite ❤ The BooGina is also a cutie. Such a wonderful video
I am so happy to see you here again!! Welcome back, dear Cindy, and man, if it were possible, I would've given you a big hug. We missed you a lot, but caring for your mother was more important than UA-cam. Bottoms-up!!
Oh my goodness! You cheered me up - not the bit about your mother (hope she's doing ok?) Your libating and hydrating make so much sense. Found myself doing it too. Love your makes, and can't wait to see more videos
I really like your Halloween decorations! Your monster is so cool!! 😍 And Eva the Owl!! So cute!! 🥰 I'm glad you're able to be back and that your Mama's getting better!! But 6-8 months!! 😢 That's a long haul.
Hello sweet Debbie!! 💓 thank you for the compliments on my little yarny weirdos. 🤪 And you’re so right….6-8 months?!? Ugh! 😩 But with Snoop and chocolate all things are possible 😉💓
I love all of your projects and the colors you choose. I think I’ve told you that before, but you are one of the few podcasters who does that. I think 2025 will be the year that I focus on working more out of my amigurumi books.
Hi sweet friend! 👋😀 I really need to do more from my books and current patterns but I have such a problem with liking “new sparkly patterns”. They bring me such joy because now I know they are mine and I will look at them lovingly and consider making them….squirrel🤪 until I see the next sparkly pattern. 🤣💓have a great day!
Love how Ghoulio matches your top with the "not crocheted" sleeves 😊 Love me a bit of matchy matchy!! Hope your Mom gets a chance to experience the stools soon ❤ Sending you all best wishes from across the pond xx
Hello my friend over yonder! 👋😀 I hope she and I get to share the stools with you all soon too. I want my craft space back. Thank you for stopping by and saying hello. 🥰❤️
Now my weekend has offically kicked off 🎉🎉 So glad to see you tonight. I really want to get the new Harry Potter book (I've got the older one, but like the one with more amigurumi in it). And of course I love thr Halloween background. Big hugs to you and the fam, I can only imagine how tough the last few weeks must have been 🤗🤗
Hello my sweet Cassandra!! Girrrrl….i do not recommend breaking any bones. Really, not all it’s cracked (see what I did there😉) up to be! I highly recommend this Harry Potter book. It has so much more of what we like, actual characters and not random things. Very cute! Hope you’re doing well and is the book tour almost over? I know it’s been fun but I bet you’re ready for it to come to a close. You did such an amazing job! Sending love your way!💓
Hey Cindy, so good to see you again! Your videos always make me smile ( or laugh out loud!) and I look forward to them so much. Glad to hear your Mum is doing better. Take care, hugs from Australia!
Hi Cindy! Wonderful to see you again. So glad to here your mum is recovering and that you are able to get a little bit of a break. Full time caregiving for an ill or injured person is really hard. I love all your projects and your new books. I have been wanting to buy that monster one for a while, it is still on my list and might end up being my christmas gift to myself. Take care xx
Hello Michelle! 👋😀 I highly recommend the monster book. It’s crazy huge, even more options than in the impkins book. I hope you’re doing well and thank you for sticking around. Big hugs!💜🤗
I came over to your channel to check on you.... Hope all is well my friend. I know all about caregiver burnout as I took care of my mother for her last three years with dementia/ Alzheimer's . Sending big hugs for you and your sweet momma. 🤗💖🙏
Hello sweet Jo! You’re so right, the burn out is real and feeling like you’re living on the edge everyday and not knowing what it will bring. It’s scary and sad and so mentally draining. I’m so grateful that you and so many others understand this struggle. I hate that others have gone through it but it certainly helps me knowing I’m not alone. I know your mom was so lucky to have you love her. Sending you warm hugs and I’m so thankful for your friendship. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. 🦃❤️❤️
Oh goodness, you have been through some things. My thoughts and prayers are with your mom and for you and your family during this hard time. Your poor mom. I hope, with all my heart, that you do not feel burdened in any way to have to produce videos on some kind of schedule. I am thrilled whenever i see a new video from you. No expectations. 😊
Y’all are my happy place and a space where I can be “me”. It’s a joy to share laughter with you even if it’s dumb at times, laughter is medicine. Thank you for being a part of my joy. ❤️🤗
I was so happy when I saw your video pop up! You are such a blessing to your mum and I’m so happy to hear that she is recovering. Caring for our parents is both hard and rewarding at the same time but it is relentless so I’m glad you have found help. Your new books are fab and I’m thinking the dragon book could be my next purchase. I just got the monsters book and started to make one with an underbite, very similar to yours, but as I reached the top I realised I had the mouth on the inside 🤪🤣🤣 so ripped it out. I don’t like that slip stitch chain one either and thought I wouldn’t bother when I remake it. Good to see you, take care and very best wishes to your mum. Xx
Girl, that slp st chain one, screws my thinking and counts up so much. I know your monster would be cute anyway you made it. Thank you for being here and saying hello! 👋 🤗💜
Cindy it brightened my day to see a video from you!!! I am glad to hear things are moving along for your Mom. Relearning with a different hand is not an easy task. I enjoyed your video immensely. I would have to pot name tags on my makes to keep them all straight. Love and hugs from Minnesota!!!
Ohh sis, we could do some damage if we ever met. Crocheting crocheting…don’t cross over to the dark side! Thank you Lord for this little bit of happiness created on this channel. I love a good belly laugh and girlfriend we were laughing/crying in my headspace. I’m not one to do anything for Halloween. I could make fun stuff like you did but scary is no bueno here. Continued prayers for all of you. Been there, done that and Lord willing I will never have to do it again. I commend all those who work in that field. I have a mother who will soon be 78 and she takes care of so many people. Toodles for now! ♥️🤗🧶
Hello my dear! I’m so glad we laughed inappropriately in your headspace and out loud. Nothing better than a good belly laugh…except snoop and frosting of course. 🤣 Thank you for your prayers and so glad your mom is still able to shower everyone with love. Sending happy hugs your way!💓💓
Wonderful to see you!. Glad mom is home. Happy you are geting some help with care. I watched my mom take care of here 90 year old parents and her disabled brother and what a toll it took on her. Love the Halloween stuff, I"m still working on putting up a pumpkin on my table so you are soooo ahead of me, LOL.
Bless your sweet mom. It’s truly a gift to be able to help her, but it is truly exhausting and most of mine is just pure worry and trying to keep her safe. I’m so grateful to my friend for giving me this gift. I hope your mom got some extra hugs and love for all her love she gave. Take your time on that pumpkin…just think, it can be for Thanksgiving too. No rush. 🤗😀💓
Hello sweet friend! I’m ok, it’s just been a hurricane over here…blowin’ and goin’. Mom is hanging in there. Still falling often but thankfully no new breaks. Fingers crossed i can maybe get a video done over the Thanksgiving break. Thank you for checking on me. Hope you’re doing well. ❤️❤️
I am so glad you are back. I was afraid that something happened to your Mom. I am glad she is on the mend. It will take a while so be sure to take care of yourself, too.❤🙏
Thank you so much for thinking of us. 💕 I’m so grateful to you for your thoughtfulness. Fingers crossed that we end 2024 without anymore drama or hospitalizations. 💓😀
It's good to see you!!! So glad to hear that Mom is on the mend. Family and self-care should always come before UA-cam. I think you're worth the wait. Healing hugs from VA...Pam K
I've missed you so much! I'm glad to learn your mom is improving daily. 💕I can't begin to imagine the level of stress you've been under, but I'm relieved to see you're in good (and delightfully weird) spirits. 😅 I really enjoy seeing all your decorations and recent makes!! If anyone deserves a murder cup full of tonic and Snoop, it's you. Cheers!
So glad to see you again and thank you for updating us on your Mom's progress. Having cared for my Mom, I can relate to the stressors that can bring. Have been praying for your Mom, you and your family. Love, love, love all your Halloweeny projects. Hopefully your Mom will continue to make improvement. Having had a stubborn Mom, it was both a blessing and a curse. Don't get me wrong...but I'm sure you understand. Hugs to you and your Mom. (Just a gentle hug to her)
Hello my dear! Thank you for waiting around for me and you’re right, stubborn parents are a challenge but I guess it’s why they are still with us. 😍 Always glad to see you here!❤️
So glad to see you 😊. I am glad your mother is doing better, and you have help. Your creations are amazing as always. It's also great to see your fantastic sense of humor.
Glad to be back. 😀 The struggle is real with making time for everyone, but thankfully, life is going well for the moment, so we will hang into these good times. Wishing you a great week! 💕
Hi my darling, I think I can say that We All Missed you, that we are all so happy your back & must important your mum is in the mend. Your video was fun as always. I love going back & watch your old video’s & they still make me laugh & happy. Are you still doing the auction? Or have I missed it?? I had a flare up again & lost track. I send healing thoughts & lots of hugs to your mum. Stay safe Sabine Xxx
Hello my sweet Sabine! Yes, I still plan on doing the auction, I’m just not sure when it will be. Now that I have help with mom I can get my act together and get things all organized for it. The toughest part is the auction site since I’m doing it for a charity. Just legal/techy stuff and I struggle a bit with it. But hopefully soon we can get it going. Thanks for always checking in on us. I’m grateful for you. Sending you big ole hugs. 💓💓
Hi Cindy. Glad you’re back. I love your craft room. So happy & cute! I love the names you give your creatures. So funny! Poor thing your mom. I hope she gets better fast. I love your top! I did not see that on QVC. I want to get that bird book also. I just got the Muppets one. You can never have too many crochet books. I got Amigurumi Adventures 2022 cactus advent and can’t wait to see what this year’s will be. Keep on crocheting and be joyful. Take care Cindy.
Hi Joni! I got the muppets book too!! It is soooo cute! I can’t wait to make something from it. Does this mean you’re gonna make your own Carl the cactus? My Carl is from that advent. It’s a great pattern. I always look on the sales and clearance stuff for my tops. I’m cheap. lol but glad you like qvc too. Sending big hugs your way!! 💓💓
Yup. I’m gonna make a Carl the Cactus of my very own. The first time I saw it was on your channel and I asked you about it and you told me where you got it from. It was on sale so I finally jumped at the chance to get it.
I remember that! 👍🤗 I’m so glad we will have matching cacti 🌵 💓. Carl will love knowing he has a sibling out here in the UA-cams. 🤣 Have a lovely week!
Thank you so much. And yes, this has been hard and it continues to have so many challenges. My mom has had more falls this week, that’s why there’s not a video, she’s ok. Thank goodness for Halloween candy to pull me through. 💓🎃🥰
@ aww as the Brits often say “keep your chin up” find laughter when you can and try and make time for yourself too even though as a carer I know that’s incredibly hard xx
Ouch…. 🫡 your mum and you with much love and positivity ❤️❤️❤️ ……I’m listening hop skip and jump with humour you have got this cracked 🥂 thanks for the tip not to go back, if you get caught short shout, I’ll just keep going back 🫣😆🤣😂😘
I missed you sooo much ! I hope your mom will get better soon.i know how hard it is to take care of your mom . I do hope you will have time for yourself.love your videos! From your Israeli friend❤
Hello my friend. I hope you’re staying safe. I know it is such a scary time in your part of the world. I hope you and I were able to share some smiles together. 💕💓💕
I recently discovered Megan Lapp's books and had fun making two monsters and a gargoyle. You convinced me to try crocheting in the round next time I make one of her patterns.
Oh yay!!! I’m so proud of you! Those are tough patterns and definitely try in the round, I promise, it’ll come out great. She is an amazing designer, she just prefers straight and even rows, but it all works out the same in the end. Good luck!! 👍🍀 You got this!!! 💚
Bless you ! So happy to see you and know you are okay. Thinking of your sweet mum and hope she gets on her feet real soon. Loved all your Halloween toys. I shall check out some of your references. Megan Lapp's designs of which I've made quite a few Impkins, I agree you don't need to do her slip stitch chain and the patterns work out fine. Take care and I look forward to seeing you on UA-cam next time. 🌺🍷
Thank you so much for stopping by to say hello! 👋 😍 I love Megan’s designs, she’s so gifted except for that darn sl st and ch 1. Glad im not alone in skipping the icky part of her patterns. Have a lovely week! 💙
I've missed your weirdness. I'm wishing your mom a speedy recovery. Right before the pandemic I broke my arm in the same spot - didn't shatter it but I did completely destroy my rotator cuff needing surgery to put it back together. I have an idea what she's gone through...and I can't take any kind of serious pain medication. I feel for her and for you having to take care of her. Hang in there. Both of you.
Oh bless your heart!!! I can’t imagine not being able to take meds for the pain. I hope you’re all healed up and doing better. Mom just got out of her sling but had a few falls this week. Thankfully, no new damage to the arm, but it still scares the bajezus out of me. I have a video filmed but with the falls, I have t had a chance to edit. Hopefully I can get it done this week and we can giggle together soon. 💓💜💓
Welcome back! Your decor looks fantastic 😊 I have the dragon book, and it starts with patterns but at the end you design your own. It's too complex for me at this time. Lots of love from the Pacific Northwest 🧡
Hello my friend! 👋😀 I honestly haven’t completely looked through the dragon book, it kind of intimidates me too. I hope I can work up the courage to do one for my daughter, but I know they are a commitment. Thanks for always stopping by to say hello! 💓🥰
I am so happy to hear your mom is on the mend and that you are back!!! I really missed you!❤ I just got back from seeing my kids in the US and got my Pica Pou books. Are you still trying to make everything from the 3rd book? Can I still join you on that?
Welcome back!! I’m so glad you got your pica Pau books. You will love them so much!! And of course, you can join me….im soooooooo far behind. You have plenty of time to catch up. 🤪💓 hope you had a wonderful time visiting. ❤️
I'm so happy to have you back! ❤❤❤ where did you get the pattern for the first little owl 🦉 you made, please? I bought the animal pals book! I will blame you when it comes! 😅 because it will be, not more books you don't need more books 😂!
Hello Michelle!! 👋😀I take all the blame, but I think you will like it. 🤞 The green owl? I think it was from a book called Amigurumi made easy amzn.to/3zWJJai here it is. Another great book. Hope you and mom are ok. I know nothing right now is easy with her, but sending you love and strength. 💕
Aww poor mama and poor you too (for obvious random reasons). Stay safe and stay in a good mindset. Things can get better. Let's hope they do. I would caution your snoop time, don't need both of you falling down & hallucinating. LOL Love to you both and the family. Enjoyed the BOO time. Very cute pink and orange and green and beige color theme in your background. Your shirt is 'tres chic' color-wise...but would be much better if handmade (just my opinion, sugar). I am not a fan of QVC or TEMU or other knock-off shopping sites (or fake makers, as I like to call em). I won't give em my money (if I had any 😜). Be well. Happy 🎃👻 Hallowine.
the caregiver burn out is for real I am 5 months in with my husband and have a least 2 more to go until he can become self sufficient. I really feel for you and your mother and wish you and her a speedy recovery. Love Love Love Tyrone do you perhaps the name of the color of the yarn you used because it is fabulous. would love to make a bag out of it. Best wishes Holly
Hello sweet Holly! 👋😍 oh, I’m so sorry about your husband. I know it’s so hard, please know I’m thinking of you and sending you all the strength to keep going. We can do hard things…if we have yarn to help us stay sane. ❤️ I wish I knew the color of Tyrone but I already threw the ball band away. They had it with the Halloween yarns at my hobby lobby, I hope it’s still there. Have a great week!💜💜
My mother in law was in the hospital many years ago with a broken leg and DID NOT SLEEP for 15Days! You want to talk about hallucinations oh my it was hilarious but she got very angry when anyone tried to correct her. So being the comedian at heart that I am, I went along with her hallucinations. Let me tell you we were flying a plane in her front yard and crashed! And the hole that we landed in had a man in it and she was laying on him! Then we were in a barn and I was in the corner with a snake! Well that one got me because I don’t do snakes. I told her we better get out of that barn! It was very comical but also hard because I was exhausted because she just would not go to sleep. We were taking turn staying with her and I apparently was the only one that played along with her hallucinations. Otherwise she was trying get up an d walk on a broken leg. And when we tried to give her knock out medicine she was so sharp she knew exactly what we were doing and would have none of it. Cindy I am praying for you and your mom! As hard as it is to care for a parent it’s also so rewarding. I take care of my 88 year old dad. He’s the sweetest, most humble man you’ll meet.
Oh you had me laughing!! You are such a better imagineer than me. Your poor mom!!! 15 days!!!! I cannot even fathom that. I was exhausted after 24 hours. My step dad (who died 14 years ago) kept falling asleep on her broken shoulder and she was getting so mad….she had a luncheon to throw ya know?🤪💕 I’m so glad you’re getting to give the extra gift of love to your dad. You’re both very lucky. Sending you big hugs and zero dreams of snakes. 🤣🐍
Your mom is very lucky to have you for a daughter.Do you have any brothers or sisters? As far as the pelican goes you should make babies and put in that part that hangs down. A bunch of baby pelicans.
Awe, thank you. We are both very blessed. I’m so lucky to have her as my mom too. It’s only me, no brothers or sisters or much family. We are pretty much the last in our family line. That’s the hardest part. But it’s also a blessing because there’s no squabbling. Thanks for the tips! ☺️❤️
I like your videos. Hydrating and libating... I get that! Have you checked out author and designer, Carla Mitrani? She has Crochet Iconic Women. I have already made Audrey Hepburn, Queen Elizabeth ll, Billy Holiday, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg. I akso used the universal pattern to make Ella Fitzgerald and Frieda Khalo. These are not beginner level patterns, but are well written and so rewarding. I believe she has come out with a second edition. Check her out!! I'm not into bugs,critters etc, but I've probably made 100+ gnomes!! Hey, we're all a little weird, right???
Hello! You are obviously one of my people. Weirdos unite! 😃 I have those books by Carla but haven’t gotten to make anything from them yet. But a Star Wars kit I did was all her patterns and great. Thank you for stopping by. 😊💜
Oh Cindy!! I'm so sorry about your poor mummy bear! But GURLLL!!! How have you any hair left upon your pretty little head??? I'm so sorry, I didn't know you'd had more mummy caused catastrophe going on in your life. Please accept my love and best wishes from someone who knows what it's like to be surrounded by craziness. I nursed many members of my family and in laws. I nursed my wonderful husband through chemotherapy at home, they left ME with medication that could have killed him 😮. He was an absolute challenge as a patient. Sadly he died 8years ago. I've just about forgiven him for leaving me to sit on a fluffy cloud while I'm still here with the British weather paying bills!!! Tsk!!!! Pffft!!! Anyway, I'm sorry I haven't sent you any cards or presents and I feel terrible because no one makes me smile and giggle like you do and we love to crochet. One of the benefits of my husband living on a fluffy cloud, is, I've just ordered a load of crochet books from amazon, and there's not a thing he can do about it!!! My life's been tough lately jy Dad has died recently so that's another family member on a fluffy cloud ☁️ there's gonna be none left for me at the rate ❤ Sorry to ramble on, lots of love! You keep topping up on snoop and you'll find a way, we always do 🎉 ❤ xxx
Oh my dear! You know about the fluffy clouds too?!? My mom and I always say when we get to heaven we sure hope there’s a bunch of fluffy clouds with all of our people and an all you can eat guiltless buffet with zero scales. Ahhhhh….heaven! I’m so sorry your cloud are getting full but thank you for knowing and understanding this challenging world. It’s a soul sucker that’s for sure. I promise we will laugh again soon, and you enjoy those books and know I fully support your addiction. Sending big hugs across the pond to you! 💕💜💕
Your mom is very lucky to have you for a daughter.Do you have any brothers or sisters? As far as the pelican goes you should make babies and put in that part that hangs down. A bunch of baby pelicans.
So glad you’re back. I’ve missed you and your humor. I have been praying for your mom’s healing. Thanks for your upbeat spirit. Cheers!
Thank you very much! We all appreciate your prayers and thanks for waiting around for me. 💓💓
Sooooo happy you’re back ❤
Me too!! 🤗 missed yall. 💓
Oh Cindy! It's good to see you on camera again🤗 I'm glad - for you and us - that you were able to make this video. Love all your makes and anecdotes😂 Hugs to your mom and you as you take care of both of you. Being an able caregiver can take every ounce of everthing you have to give. 🩵🤎🩵
Oh girl, you’re so right. It’s an exhaustion that’s hard to explain because the mental aspect is equally and sometimes more challenging. Thank you for understanding but I’m so glad to hear from you! Sending big hugs your way! 💜💓💜
It was nice catching up Cindy. Your new makes are adorable . That little monster would make anyones day! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Prayers for you and the family my friend.❤
Hello sweet Caroline! 💓 Thank you so much and I hope you’re doing well. I’m trying to catch up on everything I’ve missed, but I’m still very far behind. Ugh. But I’m sending you big ole hugs! 💓💓
So glad to have you back amongst us! I can attest to the fact that caregiving is not for sissies! Just don't forget to take care of yourself while you are taking care of your momma. I love all the Halloween makes! That last owl you showed is adorable! Keep up the spirits (both nonalcoholic and alcoholic)! I'm already looking forward to your next video. Much love!
Hello sweet Vicki!! I’m doing my best to make you proud with yarn and booze! 🤪 Thanks for still being here. 💓💓
Bless all of you! Great to see you. So glad you are getting help caring for your mom. I can't imagine how stressful this time has been for all of you, but you especially. I truly admire you and your devotion to your mom. She's such a lucky lady. Gregory is one of my favorites! 😂 Very cute projects! Take care of yourself! ❤😊
One of my true die hards to find the love for GW. 🤪❤️ Thank you for always being kind and here…it means more than you know. 😍💕
@@therumimillcrochet 🥰
Ohhh it’s so good to see you back!!! So glad your mama is on the road to recovery. ❤️🩹 You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for the fun and the laughs. ghoul-io Iglesius!!!😅😂 You are my idol!! 😂😂😂 hahaha. One day you’re gonna make me pee my pants.
Hello sweet Tris!! I haven’t seen your name in a long time, so happy you’re back! Yes, Ghoulio was quite the scream this holiday. 🤪 Hoping to get a video done soon, but hope you had a great Thanksgiving with your little turkeys and got your running shoes on for Christmas….cause it goes so fast. Sending warm Texas hugs up north to you! ❤️💓❤️
So happy to see you Cindy. Thank you for making the time for this video. You certainly have had a lot to contend with. Happy to hear your mum is doing well. I love your Halloween decorations and makes. Take care and stay hydrated and happy. You always make me smile and laugh with you wonderful sense of humour and life. See you soon ❤❤❤
Hello my dear! 👋😍 I’m so glad we got to share some laughs together. I always imagine we are at a big table playing with yarn and telling tall tales. Wishing you a great week! 💜💓💜
Yes ! Your back. Good to know your mom is on the mend. Love your crochet makes. Wine always good. Continue to take care. See you next time 🙂💗
Thanks so much for waiting for me! And wine for the win! 🍷🤪💓 have a blessed week!
I have missed you too! I think you and your mom have had way too many adventures lately ❤️🩹
I usually rewatch all your videos multiple times and you are too hard on yourself if you don't think we should watch the older videos - they are also awesome! 🤩 . I still giggle when i think of your son's panda 😂😂🫣🐼
Love to you and your mom and now we aim for 5000🎉
Awe, my twinsie waaaaaaay far away. Hello sister👋😍. You’re too sweet, thank you for tolerating me even back in the beginning (🫣🤣) bless you! And that god forsaken panda is still hidden in my so sons closet. 🤣 hope you’re doing well. 💕💕
😂😂 we are the same so I more than tolerate you! 😘
You are such a delight to watch. Prayers for your Mom's quick healing and for your sanity. Have a blessed day.😊
Thank you so much! Wishing you a wonderful day too. 💓🤗
So happy to see you back ! Hope everyone is doing well 💜💜
Hello my friend! With Snoop, all things are possible. 😀💙
OMG I adore Tyrone! So good to see you and I am glad your Mom is on the mend. Ghoulio! 😂
Hello my friend! Ghoulio is quite a heart throb? Who can resist a ghost that loves lattes and probably has great dance moves. 🤪💕💓
I am so happy you see you back. Glad your Mom is doing better.
Thank you so much! 💓
Hi Cindy...I am so happy to see you back and hear your mom is improving daily. Sending Prayers to you and the family. Big hug 🫂💋
Thank you so much my friend! 💓
Oh how we missed 12 year old Cindy!! 😂❤ Welcome back friend. I absolutely love Ghoulio 😂
I can’t even imagine how stressful your Mum’s accident has been for you and your family 😢 glad to hear that she is on the (long) road to recovery ❤ much love from Aus xx 😘
Hello Jenny!! Hope you’re doing well. I’m so behind on video watching, but I know you have been busy. Thank you for sticking around! Sending big hugs down your way!💓
Welcome back hope your Mums feeling better 😊
Thank you so much! 💓
You're back!! Great to catch up with again, Cindy. I'm so glad you've maintained you're wacky sense of humour through the last 6 weeks or so. Best wishes to you, Mum, and your children too - they must've been really worried about their grandmother. I look forward to watching your upcoming videos....whenever you feel able to get more done. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much Christine! More fun and inappropriate giggles are on the way. 🤗💓
I’m so sorry about your Mom, may she heal soon ❤
Thank you for this video, it was fun.
I love all your named for everything, Ghoulio Iglesias was my fave, he looks so chill 😁
Oh, ghoulio is such a great guy. He loves full moons, dark fall nights, the song thriller and of course pumpkin spice lattes. 🤣👻☕️💓 Thank you for stopping by!
For all you’ve been through, You still have your humor and drink on. 🎉 Glad your Mom is doing better.
I feel like I’d let you down if I didn’t still love my Snoop and 12 yo humor. It’s our bond. 🤪💓 Good to see your name pop up my friend.
So relatable having cared for my mom; and now being the cared for mom. Your humor is funny weird and cute! Hang in there.
Sending you hugs too. This getting old and caring for ourselves and loved ones is tough. I hope I’ve brought you some giggles. 💓
I have watched all of your videos and I laugh a lot, just keep putting out the videos when you can I’m in it for the haul. Glad you’re back and once again I hope your mom heals fast, thank you for sharing your story with us.
Oh, thank you so much! I’m so grateful for you. So happy to be back with you and we can be 12 together. ❤️😀
So glad to see you’re back. I’ll be watching for more of your fun videos whenever you have the time to put one out. Take care of you so you can take care of mom. God bless!
Thank you so much for your patience and waiting for me. Y’all bring me just as many smiles and I hope I bring you. 💓
You’re gorgīna, little sister! Missed you! Xxxx 😘🫶🏻🧶🧡👩🏼🤝👩🏻
Hello twinsie! Missed you too. 💓💓💓
So happy that you are back. Happy to hear your mom is on the mend. Take care of yourself.🥰
Thank you so much!🤗💓
Welcome back, love your Halloween makes❤
You take care of yourself and your mom first, don't worry about videos, we aren't going anywhere, we will be here when you come back, just like now with this video 😊❤❤
Thank you so much!! I’m so grateful for your patience and kind support. 💓
Hello Rumi, so glad to have you back and extremely happy your mama is doing much better ❤️🩹
Here’s a tip, take real Welch’s grape juice and a sprite over a tat bit of ice (a little bit more juice than sprite) eventually it will give you a good buzz.
That monster is my favorite ❤
The BooGina is also a cutie.
Such a wonderful video
Thank you for the tip! I can always use more beverage ideas. 😉❤️ I love Tyrone too. He’s such a cutie!
Yay!! You have been missed! So glad to hear the update on your mom and so glad you have gotten back to your happy place!
Thank you so much!! I’ve missed you all so much! Thanks for being right back where we left off. 🥰💓
I am so happy to see you back! Glad you have help with your mom! I really have missed you!❤
Thank you so much!💓 I’ve really missed yall too! 💕
I have missed seeing you and I’ll always be happy when I do. Take care and blessings to you and your family. 😊😊😊
Awe! Thank you so much sweet Christine! It’s so good to be back with y’all. 💓
I am so happy to see you here again!! Welcome back, dear Cindy, and man, if it were possible, I would've given you a big hug. We missed you a lot, but caring for your mother was more important than UA-cam. Bottoms-up!!
Hello my dear!! Glad to be back with my peoples. 😍 Hope you’re doing well! 🥂 cheers back to you! 💓
Oh my goodness! You cheered me up - not the bit about your mother (hope she's doing ok?) Your libating and hydrating make so much sense. Found myself doing it too. Love your makes, and can't wait to see more videos
I’m so glad I helped you smile! And yes to libating and hydrating, always a smart choice. 😜❤️
I've missed you! Love the Monsters book. I hope you are getting all the support you need.
Each day is different and thankfully most are better than the day before. Thank you for being here….still!💜🤗
I've missed you!
Missed you too! 💓
Sooooo happy to see you! Glad you're mom is healing. Take care!❤❤❤❤
Thank you sooooo much! 🥰❤️
@@therumimillcrochetMiss you❤ hope everything is going well. Happy Thanksgiving! ❤❤❤
@ it’s just been crazy busy over here. But hopefully soon I can get a video out. Miss you guys! Wishing you a blessed Thanksgiving!❤️🦃❤️
I really like your Halloween decorations! Your monster is so cool!! 😍 And Eva the Owl!! So cute!! 🥰 I'm glad you're able to be back and that your Mama's getting better!! But 6-8 months!! 😢 That's a long haul.
Hello sweet Debbie!! 💓 thank you for the compliments on my little yarny weirdos. 🤪 And you’re so right….6-8 months?!? Ugh! 😩 But with Snoop and chocolate all things are possible 😉💓
Wishing your Mom a speedy recovery ❤😊❤..Rest some rest and don't worry about having to entertain us...we understand ❤😊
Thank you so much!💓 I appreciate your support so much.
I love all of your projects and the colors you choose. I think I’ve told you that before, but you are one of the few podcasters who does that. I think 2025 will be the year that I focus on working more out of my amigurumi books.
Hi sweet friend! 👋😀 I really need to do more from my books and current patterns but I have such a problem with liking “new sparkly patterns”. They bring me such joy because now I know they are mine and I will look at them lovingly and consider making them….squirrel🤪 until I see the next sparkly pattern. 🤣💓have a great day!
Love how Ghoulio matches your top with the "not crocheted" sleeves 😊 Love me a bit of matchy matchy!! Hope your Mom gets a chance to experience the stools soon ❤ Sending you all best wishes from across the pond xx
Hello my friend over yonder! 👋😀 I hope she and I get to share the stools with you all soon too. I want my craft space back. Thank you for stopping by and saying hello. 🥰❤️
Cindy!!!! Your dulcet tones have graced the internet once again!
You had me at dulcet tones Susan. A good vocabulary gets me every time🤣🥰💓
@@therumimillcrochet 😆😆♥️
Now my weekend has offically kicked off 🎉🎉 So glad to see you tonight. I really want to get the new Harry Potter book (I've got the older one, but like the one with more amigurumi in it). And of course I love thr Halloween background.
Big hugs to you and the fam, I can only imagine how tough the last few weeks must have been 🤗🤗
Hello my sweet Cassandra!! Girrrrl….i do not recommend breaking any bones. Really, not all it’s cracked (see what I did there😉) up to be! I highly recommend this Harry Potter book. It has so much more of what we like, actual characters and not random things. Very cute! Hope you’re doing well and is the book tour almost over? I know it’s been fun but I bet you’re ready for it to come to a close. You did such an amazing job! Sending love your way!💓
Hey Cindy, so good to see you again! Your videos always make me smile ( or laugh out loud!) and I look forward to them so much. Glad to hear your Mum is doing better. Take care, hugs from Australia!
Hello Lindy!! (The name I 💕😀) I’m so glad we get to share some laughs together again. 💚
You have improved my mental health, you always do. Glad mum is doing better love from Brighton UK
Awe! Sending big hugs back your way! I’m glad we can smile together again. ❤️
Glad to hear your mum is on the mend! Loving the makes ❤
Thank you so much!😉💓
Hi Cindy! Wonderful to see you again. So glad to here your mum is recovering and that you are able to get a little bit of a break. Full time caregiving for an ill or injured person is really hard. I love all your projects and your new books. I have been wanting to buy that monster one for a while, it is still on my list and might end up being my christmas gift to myself. Take care xx
Hello Michelle! 👋😀 I highly recommend the monster book. It’s crazy huge, even more options than in the impkins book. I hope you’re doing well and thank you for sticking around. Big hugs!💜🤗
So happy to see you! Love seeing all yours makes. Sending healing vibes your way. ❤❤
Thank you sweet friend! 💜
Glad you are back! You always leave a smile on my face, what more could one ask? I hope your mum heals well.
Thank you so much! I’m glad we are smiling together again😍💓
I came over to your channel to check on you.... Hope all is well my friend. I know all about caregiver burnout as I took care of my mother for her last three years with dementia/ Alzheimer's . Sending big hugs for you and your sweet momma. 🤗💖🙏
Hello sweet Jo! You’re so right, the burn out is real and feeling like you’re living on the edge everyday and not knowing what it will bring. It’s scary and sad and so mentally draining. I’m so grateful that you and so many others understand this struggle. I hate that others have gone through it but it certainly helps me knowing I’m not alone. I know your mom was so lucky to have you love her. Sending you warm hugs and I’m so thankful for your friendship. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. 🦃❤️❤️
@ 🤗💖
Oh goodness, you have been through some things. My thoughts and prayers are with your mom and for you and your family during this hard time. Your poor mom. I hope, with all my heart, that you do not feel burdened in any way to have to produce videos on some kind of schedule. I am thrilled whenever i see a new video from you. No expectations. 😊
Y’all are my happy place and a space where I can be “me”. It’s a joy to share laughter with you even if it’s dumb at times, laughter is medicine. Thank you for being a part of my joy. ❤️🤗
I was so happy when I saw your video pop up! You are such a blessing to your mum and I’m so happy to hear that she is recovering. Caring for our parents is both hard and rewarding at the same time but it is relentless so I’m glad you have found help. Your new books are fab and I’m thinking the dragon book could be my next purchase. I just got the monsters book and started to make one with an underbite, very similar to yours, but as I reached the top I realised I had the mouth on the inside 🤪🤣🤣 so ripped it out. I don’t like that slip stitch chain one either and thought I wouldn’t bother when I remake it.
Good to see you, take care and very best wishes to your mum. Xx
Girl, that slp st chain one, screws my thinking and counts up so much. I know your monster would be cute anyway you made it. Thank you for being here and saying hello! 👋 🤗💜
Cindy it brightened my day to see a video from you!!! I am glad to hear things are moving along for your Mom. Relearning with a different hand is not an easy task. I enjoyed your video immensely. I would have to pot name tags on my makes to keep them all straight. Love and hugs from Minnesota!!!
Hello my dear Frieda! 👋😉 the name tag option is definitely a better idea than going back to watch myself. 🤣 Glad to see your name pop up. 💓
I’m glad to see you. May things start going smoothly for you. I love all your makes.
Thank you so much!🥰💓
Ohh sis, we could do some damage if we ever met. Crocheting crocheting…don’t cross over to the dark side! Thank you Lord for this little bit of happiness created on this channel. I love a good belly laugh and girlfriend we were laughing/crying in my headspace. I’m not one to do anything for Halloween. I could make fun stuff like you did but scary is no bueno here. Continued prayers for all of you. Been there, done that and Lord willing I will never have to do it again. I commend all those who work in that field. I have a mother who will soon be 78 and she takes care of so many people. Toodles for now! ♥️🤗🧶
Hello my dear! I’m so glad we laughed inappropriately in your headspace and out loud. Nothing better than a good belly laugh…except snoop and frosting of course. 🤣 Thank you for your prayers and so glad your mom is still able to shower everyone with love. Sending happy hugs your way!💓💓
Your sweater is so pretty!!❤😊😂😅
Thank you! Vomit green and pink go so well together. 😂❤️
Wonderful to see you!. Glad mom is home. Happy you are geting some help with care. I watched my mom take care of here 90 year old parents and her disabled brother and what a toll it took on her. Love the Halloween stuff, I"m still working on putting up a pumpkin on my table so you are soooo ahead of me, LOL.
Bless your sweet mom. It’s truly a gift to be able to help her, but it is truly exhausting and most of mine is just pure worry and trying to keep her safe. I’m so grateful to my friend for giving me this gift. I hope your mom got some extra hugs and love for all her love she gave. Take your time on that pumpkin…just think, it can be for Thanksgiving too. No rush. 🤗😀💓
Praying all is well. We miss you but totally understand, family first. Love and prayers.
Hello sweet friend! I’m ok, it’s just been a hurricane over here…blowin’ and goin’. Mom is hanging in there. Still falling often but thankfully no new breaks. Fingers crossed i can maybe get a video done over the Thanksgiving break. Thank you for checking on me. Hope you’re doing well. ❤️❤️
I am so glad you are back. I was afraid that something happened to your Mom. I am glad she is on the mend. It will take a while so be sure to take care of yourself, too.❤🙏
Thank you so much for thinking of us. 💕 I’m so grateful to you for your thoughtfulness. Fingers crossed that we end 2024 without anymore drama or hospitalizations. 💓😀
@@therumimillcrochet Amen!🙏💕
It's good to see you!!! So glad to hear that Mom is on the mend. Family and self-care should always come before UA-cam. I think you're worth the wait. Healing hugs from VA...Pam K
Hi sweet Pam! 👋🤗 Thank you for being faithful and patient. I’m so grateful for you. ❤️❤️
@@therumimillcrochet Girl, I've been called a lot of things, but patient and sweet aren't on the list...bahahaha
So glad you’re back and your mom is doing better.
Thank you friend! 💕
❤ glad to see you back Cindy. Hope you and your family are well.
Thank you! 💓You too!
I've missed you so much! I'm glad to learn your mom is improving daily. 💕I can't begin to imagine the level of stress you've been under, but I'm relieved to see you're in good (and delightfully weird) spirits. 😅 I really enjoy seeing all your decorations and recent makes!! If anyone deserves a murder cup full of tonic and Snoop, it's you. Cheers!
Hello my sweet Robyn! So good to see your name pop up. 😍 So glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the prayers. Sending big hugs your way. 💜💜
I’m so glad to see you! Your humor brings me joy! Thank you for sharing your journey with your mother ! Speedy recovery!!!❤
Thank you so much for being a part of our journey. 💙
So glad to see you again and thank you for updating us on your Mom's progress. Having cared for my Mom, I can relate to the stressors that can bring. Have been praying for your Mom, you and your family. Love, love, love all your Halloweeny projects. Hopefully your Mom will continue to make improvement. Having had a stubborn Mom, it was both a blessing and a curse. Don't get me wrong...but I'm sure you understand. Hugs to you and your Mom. (Just a gentle hug to her)
Hello my dear! Thank you for waiting around for me and you’re right, stubborn parents are a challenge but I guess it’s why they are still with us. 😍 Always glad to see you here!❤️
So glad to see you 😊. I am glad your mother is doing better, and you have help. Your creations are amazing as always. It's also great to see your fantastic sense of humor.
Thank you so much Carmen! It’s so nice to be back with my yarny friends. 🥰💓
Eggs are for every Holiday. 💜
Right?!? Glad you know their value too. 🤪💓
So enjoy your videos! I'm glad your mom is getting better. Prayers!
Thank you so much!
So happy to see you, and glad your mom is healing up well.
Hello my dear! Thank you so much. I hope you’re doing well. ❤️
@@therumimillcrochet I am doing really well. This is my new channel. I am starting over
It's so good to see you back. I'm glad Mama is on the mend, and I hope you remember to take care of yourself enough during these recovery months. 💙
Glad to be back. 😀 The struggle is real with making time for everyone, but thankfully, life is going well for the moment, so we will hang into these good times. Wishing you a great week! 💕
Hi my darling, I think I can say that We All Missed you, that we are all so happy your back & must important your mum is in the mend.
Your video was fun as always. I love going back & watch your old video’s & they still make me laugh & happy.
Are you still doing the auction? Or have I missed it?? I had a flare up again & lost track.
I send healing thoughts & lots of hugs to your mum.
Stay safe Sabine Xxx
Hello my sweet Sabine! Yes, I still plan on doing the auction, I’m just not sure when it will be. Now that I have help with mom I can get my act together and get things all organized for it. The toughest part is the auction site since I’m doing it for a charity. Just legal/techy stuff and I struggle a bit with it. But hopefully soon we can get it going. Thanks for always checking in on us. I’m grateful for you. Sending you big ole hugs. 💓💓
Hi Cindy. Glad you’re back. I love your craft room. So happy & cute! I love the names you give your creatures. So funny! Poor thing your mom. I hope she gets better fast. I love your top! I did not see that on QVC. I want to get that bird book also. I just got the Muppets one. You can never have too many crochet books. I got Amigurumi Adventures 2022 cactus advent and can’t wait to see what this year’s will be. Keep on crocheting and be joyful. Take care Cindy.
Hi Joni! I got the muppets book too!! It is soooo cute! I can’t wait to make something from it. Does this mean you’re gonna make your own Carl the cactus? My Carl is from that advent. It’s a great pattern. I always look on the sales and clearance stuff for my tops. I’m cheap. lol but glad you like qvc too. Sending big hugs your way!! 💓💓
Yup. I’m gonna make a Carl the Cactus of my very own. The first time I saw it was on your channel and I asked you about it and you told me where you got it from. It was on sale so I finally jumped at the chance to get it.
I remember that! 👍🤗 I’m so glad we will have matching cacti 🌵 💓. Carl will love knowing he has a sibling out here in the UA-cams. 🤣 Have a lovely week!
Heard about you from She'z Got Yarn 2. I'm so sorry you're going through that. Prayers for you and your mom.
That was so sweet of Nancy to mention me and thank you for the well wishes. I really appreciate them. Glad you’re here! ❤️❤️
Lovely to see you
Awe! Thank you. Glad to be back!💓
Lovely to see you, it must have been an incredibly hard time, and will continue to be a challenge. My thoughts are with you ❤
Thank you so much. And yes, this has been hard and it continues to have so many challenges. My mom has had more falls this week, that’s why there’s not a video, she’s ok. Thank goodness for Halloween candy to pull me through. 💓🎃🥰
@ aww as the Brits often say “keep your chin up” find laughter when you can and try and make time for yourself too even though as a carer I know that’s incredibly hard xx
Oh your funny I glad you popped up on my UA-cam you actually made me laugh
Yay! Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. 💓💓
This was a delight as per usual.
Thank you so much! 💓
Ouch…. 🫡 your mum and you with much love and positivity ❤️❤️❤️ ……I’m listening hop skip and jump with humour you have got this cracked 🥂 thanks for the tip not to go back, if you get caught short shout, I’ll just keep going back 🫣😆🤣😂😘
Thank you for the positive vibes and bless you for going back. Oiy vey! 🤪❤️
I love your videos. Love and prayers for your Mam x

I hope so too! 🥰💓Good to be back.

Hello my friend. I hope you’re staying safe. I know it is such a scary time in your part of the world. I hope you and I were able to share some smiles together. 💕💓💕
@@therumimillcrochet thank you for your kind words. Your videos helps me a lot! I hope things will get easier for you and your mom ❤️❤️
I had a giggle watching your video
Yay!!! You were supposed to🤪💓
I recently discovered Megan Lapp's books and had fun making two monsters and a gargoyle. You convinced me to try crocheting in the round next time I make one of her patterns.
Oh yay!!! I’m so proud of you! Those are tough patterns and definitely try in the round, I promise, it’ll come out great. She is an amazing designer, she just prefers straight and even rows, but it all works out the same in the end. Good luck!! 👍🍀 You got this!!! 💚
Bless you ! So happy to see you and know you are okay. Thinking of your sweet mum and hope she gets on her feet real soon. Loved all your Halloween toys. I shall check out some of your references. Megan Lapp's designs of which I've made quite a few Impkins, I agree you don't need to do her slip stitch chain and the patterns work out fine. Take care and I look forward to seeing you on UA-cam next time. 🌺🍷
Thank you so much for stopping by to say hello! 👋 😍 I love Megan’s designs, she’s so gifted except for that darn sl st and ch 1. Glad im not alone in skipping the icky part of her patterns. Have a lovely week! 💙
Oh, Goodness, my heart goes out to you. Wish I could help!
Hello, sweet friend. You are helping by saying hello. You’re still here and that does my heart good. ❤️
♥️
Many prayers and hope for yourMom.
Thank you! 💓🤗
I've missed your weirdness. I'm wishing your mom a speedy recovery. Right before the pandemic I broke my arm in the same spot - didn't shatter it but I did completely destroy my rotator cuff needing surgery to put it back together. I have an idea what she's gone through...and I can't take any kind of serious pain medication. I feel for her and for you having to take care of her. Hang in there. Both of you.
Oh bless your heart!!! I can’t imagine not being able to take meds for the pain. I hope you’re all healed up and doing better. Mom just got out of her sling but had a few falls this week. Thankfully, no new damage to the arm, but it still scares the bajezus out of me. I have a video filmed but with the falls, I have t had a chance to edit. Hopefully I can get it done this week and we can giggle together soon. 💓💜💓
Welcome back! Your decor looks fantastic 😊 I have the dragon book, and it starts with patterns but at the end you design your own. It's too complex for me at this time. Lots of love from the Pacific Northwest 🧡
Hello my friend! 👋😀 I honestly haven’t completely looked through the dragon book, it kind of intimidates me too. I hope I can work up the courage to do one for my daughter, but I know they are a commitment. Thanks for always stopping by to say hello! 💓🥰
@@therumimillcrochet Once I saw that I was to put wire in the wings I thought "Maybe in 2028. Yeah. 2028." And haven't looked at it since 😂
I am so happy to hear your mom is on the mend and that you are back!!! I really missed you!❤ I just got back from seeing my kids in the US and got my Pica Pou books. Are you still trying to make everything from the 3rd book? Can I still join you on that?
Welcome back!! I’m so glad you got your pica Pau books. You will love them so much!! And of course, you can join me….im soooooooo far behind. You have plenty of time to catch up. 🤪💓 hope you had a wonderful time visiting. ❤️
@@therumimillcrochet it was amazing!
I'm so happy to have you back! ❤❤❤ where did you get the pattern for the first little owl 🦉 you made, please? I bought the animal pals book! I will blame you when it comes! 😅 because it will be, not more books you don't need more books 😂!
Hello Michelle!! 👋😀I take all the blame, but I think you will like it. 🤞 The green owl? I think it was from a book called Amigurumi made easy amzn.to/3zWJJai here it is. Another great book. Hope you and mom are ok. I know nothing right now is easy with her, but sending you love and strength. 💕
@@therumimillcrochet Thank you...
Aww poor mama and poor you too (for obvious random reasons). Stay safe and stay in a good mindset. Things can get better. Let's hope they do. I would caution your snoop time, don't need both of you falling down & hallucinating. LOL
Love to you both and the family. Enjoyed the BOO time. Very cute pink and orange and green and beige color theme in your background.
Your shirt is 'tres chic' color-wise...but would be much better if handmade (just my opinion, sugar). I am not a fan of QVC or TEMU or other knock-off shopping sites (or fake makers, as I like to call em). I won't give em my money (if I had any 😜).
Be well. Happy 🎃👻 Hallowine.
Thanks for stopping by and saying hello. Hope you’re doing well and enjoying the cooler (kinda) weather. Take care! 😉💜
My goodness you have been through it. I hope your mom heals quickly.
Thank you so much!💙
Do you ever have a booth at the Tomball Market?
You must be a local! 👋😀 No, I don’t sell my stuff or do markets. But the Tomball Saturday markets are so fun, right? 😉💕
the caregiver burn out is for real I am 5 months in with my husband and have a least 2 more to go until he can become self sufficient. I really feel for you and your mother and wish you and her a speedy recovery. Love Love Love Tyrone do you perhaps the name of the color of the yarn you used because it is fabulous. would love to make a bag out of it. Best wishes Holly
Hello sweet Holly! 👋😍 oh, I’m so sorry about your husband. I know it’s so hard, please know I’m thinking of you and sending you all the strength to keep going. We can do hard things…if we have yarn to help us stay sane. ❤️ I wish I knew the color of Tyrone but I already threw the ball band away. They had it with the Halloween yarns at my hobby lobby, I hope it’s still there. Have a great week!💜💜
Heyyyyyy mama! We missed you! BUT totally understand "LIFE".. isnt it fun.. smh lol
Girrrrrrl, you are sooooo right. Getting old ain’t for sissies. Whew!! 💓 Missed you too!
My mother in law was in the hospital many years ago with a broken leg and DID NOT SLEEP for 15Days! You want to talk about hallucinations oh my it was hilarious but she got very angry when anyone tried to correct her. So being the comedian at heart that I am, I went along with her hallucinations. Let me tell you we were flying a plane in her front yard and crashed! And the hole that we landed in had a man in it and she was laying on him! Then we were in a barn and I was in the corner with a snake! Well that one got me because I don’t do snakes. I told her we better get out of that barn!
It was very comical but also hard because I was exhausted because she just would not go to sleep. We were taking turn staying with her and I apparently was the only one that played along with her hallucinations. Otherwise she was trying get up an d walk on a broken leg. And when we tried to give her knock out medicine she was so sharp she knew exactly what we were doing and would have none of it.
Cindy I am praying for you and your mom! As hard as it is to care for a parent it’s also so rewarding. I take care of my 88 year old dad. He’s the sweetest, most humble man you’ll meet.
Oh you had me laughing!! You are such a better imagineer than me. Your poor mom!!! 15 days!!!! I cannot even fathom that. I was exhausted after 24 hours. My step dad (who died 14 years ago) kept falling asleep on her broken shoulder and she was getting so mad….she had a luncheon to throw ya know?🤪💕 I’m so glad you’re getting to give the extra gift of love to your dad. You’re both very lucky. Sending you big hugs and zero dreams of snakes. 🤣🐍
Your mom is very lucky to have you for a daughter.Do you have any brothers or sisters? As far as the pelican goes you should make babies and put in that part that hangs down. A bunch of baby pelicans.
Awe, thank you. We are both very blessed. I’m so lucky to have her as my mom too. It’s only me, no brothers or sisters or much family. We are pretty much the last in our family line. That’s the hardest part. But it’s also a blessing because there’s no squabbling. Thanks for the tips! ☺️❤️
I like your videos. Hydrating and libating... I get that! Have you checked out author and designer, Carla Mitrani? She has Crochet Iconic Women. I have already made Audrey Hepburn, Queen Elizabeth ll, Billy Holiday, and Ruth Bader Ginsberg. I akso used the universal pattern to make Ella Fitzgerald and Frieda Khalo. These are not beginner level patterns, but are well written and so rewarding. I believe she has come out with a second edition. Check her out!!
I'm not into bugs,critters etc, but I've probably made 100+ gnomes!! Hey, we're all a little weird, right???
Hello! You are obviously one of my people. Weirdos unite! 😃 I have those books by Carla but haven’t gotten to make anything from them yet. But a Star Wars kit I did was all her patterns and great. Thank you for stopping by. 😊💜
Oh Cindy!! I'm so sorry about your poor mummy bear! But GURLLL!!! How have you any hair left upon your pretty little head???
I'm so sorry, I didn't know you'd had more mummy caused catastrophe going on in your life. Please accept my love and best wishes from someone who knows what it's like to be surrounded by craziness. I nursed many members of my family and in laws. I nursed my wonderful husband through chemotherapy at home, they left ME with medication that could have killed him 😮. He was an absolute challenge as a patient. Sadly he died 8years ago. I've just about forgiven him for leaving me to sit on a fluffy cloud while I'm still here with the British weather paying bills!!! Tsk!!!! Pffft!!!
Anyway, I'm sorry I haven't sent you any cards or presents and I feel terrible because no one makes me smile and giggle like you do and we love to crochet. One of the benefits of my husband living on a fluffy cloud, is, I've just ordered a load of crochet books from amazon, and there's not a thing he can do about it!!! My life's been tough lately jy Dad has died recently so that's another family member on a fluffy cloud ☁️ there's gonna be none left for me at the rate ❤
Sorry to ramble on, lots of love! You keep topping up on snoop and you'll find a way, we always do 🎉 ❤ xxx
Oh my dear! You know about the fluffy clouds too?!? My mom and I always say when we get to heaven we sure hope there’s a bunch of fluffy clouds with all of our people and an all you can eat guiltless buffet with zero scales. Ahhhhh….heaven!
I’m so sorry your cloud are getting full but thank you for knowing and understanding this challenging world. It’s a soul sucker that’s for sure. I promise we will laugh again soon, and you enjoy those books and know I fully support your addiction. Sending big hugs across the pond to you! 💕💜💕
Your mom is very lucky to have you for a daughter.Do you have any brothers or sisters? As far as the pelican goes you should make babies and put in that part that hangs down. A bunch of baby pelicans.
