Juul! This video was epic! Your gifts were so beautiful and thoughtful and painting the box was a stroke of genius! You are my favorite person today! 💖 the part about your cat not reading all of your correspondence was hysterical. 😂
The silent film aspect is very intriguing and I love your kitty! He’s absolutely gorgeous! Love all the wonderful gifts you both gave and received and honestly I haven’t seen anyone else yet who actually knitted something for their Secret Santa Recipient! Those are incredibly beautiful!
Thank you! Handmade gifts are my jam (technically I also received handmade gifts, because Taylor makes and sells the beautiful jewellery that she gave me!)
I wear hearing aids and I know it sounds like it would not make sense but all the noise in the typical UA-cam videos can be a bit overwhelming. Yours is so very peaceful and relaxing in comparison!
@@crystalbrown3016 I think he's something else, something fancier, & mentioned in another video. Also, did you know he has a video of his own? (My attempt at being helpful. )
Hello, I'm new here, following the trail of the CosTube gift exchange, you see. Well I had to comment to say how much I loved your video! The quiet serenity is enchanting, and I think the gift you sent (that box, oh my goodness!) was wonderful and the gift you received lovely! I also had to say, your cat is a very hansom boy!
This was absolutely charming! I feeling a bit stressed and this video calmed me right down. I'm in awe of how much work and care you put into your gift and this video!
I was telling my kids (5 year old triplets and 3 year old bonus) earlier this season about how Santa has different names in different countries, and when I told them one of his names is Sinterklaas, they laughed and laughed. I don’t know why that was so funny to them, but they thought it was hilarious. I love all the care and time you spent on the gift and on making the box and wrapping special as well.
I like rewatching this. Your no-added-sound videos are so peaceful & restorative. I appreciate all the effort & attention that you put into them & sharing them with us.
Just came over from bernadettes channel and omg you have hearing aids. I have hearing aids too ahhhhhh. This is amazing. You are super talented, going to watch all your videos right now.
UA-cam is really amazing in the sense that you can find people like you just existing and it feels like representation. I feel like half of the people I follow have at least one disability or chronic condition and that's something we just don't see in traditional media.
I just came from Bernadette's. So interesting to see the difference between your sewing machine and her machine (I like your machine better, don't think I could cope with turning that wheel.) As for your Secret Santa, I would have been happy with just the box! I hope the recipient opened it nicely...
Painting the inside of the box was such a cute touch, now when your secret santa baby opens it they'll get an extra lovely surprise along with the gifts. Definitely gained a new subscriber 💜
The brown wrapping paper with designs on it reminds me of the paper my Danish grandma used to send her gifts in - I love that there are paper dolls on yours! And all the thought and decoration you put into the gift!!! So beautiful. :) I just found your channel today, from Bernadette's video; merry Christmas!!
I love that you included traditional Dutch things! Spreading the joy of Staphorster klederdracht. Also, the inside of the box is quite possibly my favorite thing - creativity knows no bounds!
Wat super leuk om te zien dat er iets van Staphorst de wereld rond gaat als cadeau van Secret Santa. En de binnenkant van die doos, briljant! fijne dagen.
Wow, your gift was so thoughtful from the items themselves to the packaging! I loved the humour in this video too. :) First video I've ever watched of yours and I loved it. Also, I love me a fellow Blythe collector! Now I need to find some tissue paper to wrap my doll in too...
Your creativity and versatile talents are admirable. Your patience and aesthetic are pleasing. This was incredibly enjoyable to watch and made me feel warm and free to be creative. You inspire!!
That is the most beautiful and thoughtful gift I have ever seen. What a talented lady you are. The box with the painting inside was genius and a beautiful gift wrap idea. I'm glad I found your channel. I am now going to do some binge watching 😁
I love the style of your video! Instant new subscriber! So peaceful, beautiful and inspiringly creative! I'd never have thought of painting the inside of a parcel!
Your style of videos are so inspiring and so relaxing! What on earth did that giant box have in originally? And painting the inside of the box is such a wonderful idea, it's henceforth stolen for every box I send from here on out! That wrapping paper with the cut out dolls almost got used for my secret Santa as well, we were very close to matching! XD Your gift was so lovely and thoughtful, and your knitting is wonderful, and you were so lucky with what you received as well! All around, a fantastic exchange!
I love the painting of the box, what a lovely touch (also the box bit finding the right size was hilarious - as was the cat-like rejection of the too small box). I envy your ability with knitting - those writstlets are very pretty! And you cat, well, your cat is very dignified, even wearing flowers in their fur.
I just dropped in from Bernadette 's channel. Omgoddess, you are/were deaf too!! I grew up between The Netherlands (Waalwijk) and Canada (Nova Scotia) , bouncing back and forth. The attention to detail is a very Dutch trait, lol. I must say I do miss being in The Netherlands . Happy Holidays. Oh and your Koffee mug is spectacular ❤❤❤❤ I would love to know where it could be bought.
Welcome, new friend! Isn't Waalwijk close to de Efteling? My coffee mug was bought at (Flying) Tiger ages ago, as a cheap alternative to designer mugs I saw everywhere!
I’m also a knitter. (I teach it for a living) and I knit everyone socks for Christmas so this made my heart happy. It really is the best gift! People love hand knit socks! New subscriber here!
First... it's very nice to "meet" you. Second...I adore your cat yarn holder bowl. It's marvelous. Third...all the little handmade details (the card, the box) that you put into your gift has inspired me to be more creative with my own in the future. Thank you for sharing, in wonderfullly intriguing silent mode, your making of the gift. I watched Pretty Shepherd's opening and I know she was thrilled. The present that you gave as well as the one received were both beautiful and thoughtful. I am looking forward to joining you as you journey into 2020. Happy New Year.
I saw the unboxing the gift you sent, that kitty is absolutely adorable. Love what you got as well, this was so much fun to watch. The inside of box painting was ingenious
Lol! I LOVE your sense of humor and filming/editing style. Also, your quirkiness. Where did you find your yarn bowl? Can't believe I haven't seen your videos before. Looking forward to spending some time watching through your library. Thank you for sharing. :)
Wow this was incredibly satisfying to watch and so unique! I'm in love with your editing style, it's so gentle but there's this inherent sort of humour too? Beautiful. You also put so much effort and love into your presents ahhh love love love
Oh wow, you gave some amazing gifts, even the box is a treasure!! ❤️ (as well as received beautiful gifts!) And also bonus points for the Weeg with flowers in his fur *swoon*
What a lovely way to send off your gifts. When my youngest daughter was little, I painted a large box yellow with blue windows to represent a school bus. She had started preschool..."The wheels on the bus go round and round". Merry Christmas to you and your kitty. 🎄
That's a lovely thing to do for your kid, I remember my dad's cardboard projects with fondness (he once built a house with an actual working light inside)!
I love watching your channel. Having anxiety and loud kids makes me need the calm that you bring. Your sense of humor shines through and your creativity makes me feel curious about what I might be able to do. Your gift is going to be so loved.
What an absolutely gorgeous package of Secret Santa gifts you put together! I found watching this incredibly soothing to the soul (after a very difficult day). *subscribed*
Hi Juul, Like so many others of the comments below, I came here via Bernadette's vlog. The moment I saw you video, I have subscribed because I like the way you have made your vlog. Later on I was realy entertained by the room you sit in. It was like I was stepping back in my grandmother's house. She was living in Wassenaar, and her house had the same atmosphere. She was a seamstress and throughout the house you could find remnants of her craft. I look forward to what 2020 will bring us, who vicariously live as small parts of the history bound life. I am not a seamstress by a long shot, but looking at all your various talents and projects give me at least hope that something might emerge from my hands one day of which I might say that I am proud to have made it. Happy holidays!
Your painting is absolutely beautiful! I'd never want to throw that out! Also your knitting was damn impressive! And maybe a bit daunting to one who kinda wants to try it :p
Double pointed needles aren't as scary as many think! If you use a rougher type of yarn instead of something slippery the first few times you'll be ok!
I always find your videos very calming. The level of detail with your present is just amazing, I cannot wait to see your secret santa to open that wonderfully painted box! ❤️❤️❤️
This is such a soothing video and the gift you sent is INCREDIBLE! I’m so happy you guys did CosTube Secret Santa this year, about half of the channels are new to me and I’m so excited to see all the great content ♥️
Another new subscriber due to the secret santa challenge here :) love the calming effect of your video style! Gotta admit though, that that box would have sent me into a bit of an existential crisis as the recipient along the lines of "I can't just keep an empty box standing around, but someone put the effort into making it so nice. Must. appreciate. Must. keep." :D
@@JuulThijssen Well, since it is a purely hypothetical existential crisis I think it is well worth the joy of looking forward to watch more of your videos :)
This was so lovely!!!! The box you painted ....oh my!!!! All the gifts were so thoughtful!!!! Both giving and receiving.....This group of ladies are so so talented!!!! Will be watching again!!! Happiest of New Years!!!
So I also found you through the Secret Santa Extravaganza and am quite, quite glad about it. Everything in this video was so nicely relaxing and cozy (No music, no talking? Just crafty noises? I give it a chef's kiss with all of my hands). Christmas related waiting times will probably be filled with exploring the rest of your channel. And your cats ear fluffs are magical!
I have never seen the inside of a box decorated and decorate so pretty. I was amazed at the box and I thought how clever of you. I also loved the gifts you sent and the time and thoughtful ness you put into them. The gifts you received are beautiful.
I do love the ASMR aspect to your videos. They are so relaxing to watch. This Secret Santa really has helped a lot of people like me find you and other interesting channels and has helped produce interesting content too. I look forward to following your work in 2020 :-)
Such beautiful handiwork and a wonderfully executed video! As you were knitting, I was knitting a pair of woolen gloves myself. :) You definitely have a new subscriber!
I was missing posts from most of you and knew you were busy at this time of year and waited patiently for your next videos. This idea and all these videos were a great surprise! I loved watching each of them and also learning about other costume designers and seamstresses. You all gave and got great gifts and all of us got equally the same getting to watch your videos of so much kindness and thoughts that went into the gifts and videos. Thank you so much for being a part of this gift exchange. I will share this same comment on each video involved in this costube.
Your cat is absolutely gorgeous. I loved your attention to detail with the beautifully painted box. I wish I was that talented. I really enjoyed watching this video. It was so calming and lovely.
AWE - super cute cat! I love all of that ribbon in your gift - thats pure joy for me! Your box painting was so PRETTY - you are an extremely talented artist!!! TFS and new subbie HERE!!!
I know all the secret santas gifts were wonderful and thoughtful but I think your's really had a lot of creative effort put into it and wow you even sent her a wonderful jacket?! How cool! Loved the box idea. Have a wonderful holiday!
Oh my god i was just watching all the secret santa videos while knittig so i was very excited when i saw you knitting too. That was really cool but when you were done i realized we are doing the exact same pattern!
Oh my goodness, your creativity and talent are amazing. I’ll be working on Joey and koala pouches for a little while before I can get back to being creative.
The smoke is so bad you have to keep your doors and windows shut and I live a few hundred kilometres away. There are just so many displaced and injured animals I don’t know how we can save them all. 😞
Found your channel through Anna , I celebrate your whole style and effort in creating something beautiful as a secret Santa present ! This film was soo special to me - beautiful ! Wishing a blessed Christmas !
![Historical Disneybound Snow White - but make it Viking [CC]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/udBnifUUiZM/mqdefault.jpg)
You choosing the right size box made me laugh, my type of humor. Also, your cat is fabulous!
;) Thanks!
I will, from this moment forward, always paint the inside of gift boxes 😍 Such an amazing idea! Merry Christmas 😘
Keisha Medrano Merry Christmas!
I was thinking this as well. I’m no artist but this has forever upped my game.
Juul! This video was epic! Your gifts were so beautiful and thoughtful and painting the box was a stroke of genius! You are my favorite person today! 💖 the part about your cat not reading all of your correspondence was hysterical. 😂
Ha, thanks Noelle! I'm going to have to train Wegie to do my youtube correspondence from now, you know responding to comments for me ;) Meow!
Your quiet precision and attention to detail is so refreshing. Subscribed!
The silent film aspect is very intriguing and I love your kitty! He’s absolutely gorgeous! Love all the wonderful gifts you both gave and received and honestly I haven’t seen anyone else yet who actually knitted something for their Secret Santa Recipient! Those are incredibly beautiful!
Thank you! Handmade gifts are my jam (technically I also received handmade gifts, because Taylor makes and sells the beautiful jewellery that she gave me!)
Juul Thijssen I’ve seen several handmade items being exchanged, but this is the first one I’ve seen knitted! By the way love the yarn bowl!
@@agypsycircle True!
I never realized how much I enjoy silent videos. So restful but still interesting from the visuals. Sighing with contentment.
You're welcome!
I wear hearing aids and I know it sounds like it would not make sense but all the noise in the typical UA-cam videos can be a bit overwhelming. Yours is so very peaceful and relaxing in comparison!
I'm pretty sure this cat is actually a wizard
Shhh, don't tell anyone! ;)
*whisper* all cats are, don't blow their cover
@@JuulThijssen is your cat a Maine Coon?
@@crystalbrown3016
I think he's something else, something fancier, & mentioned in another video. Also, did you know he has a video of his own?
(My attempt at being helpful. )
@@catherinejustcatherine1778 oh I had now idea actually I'll have to check it out and see if I can find what breed he is. Thank you😊
Fantastically touching. You have incredible sense of humor.

Ah, welcome new friend! I must say I use the hand-crank at times when I want to be more precise, but the treadle is great for longer stretches!
@@JuulThijssen Learned a new word - "treadle". Sounds much better than "foot thingy".
@@Ompe8 Foot thingy works!

Bubbess Aww, thank you for the lovely comment and for subscribing! Happy holidays!
@@JuulThijssen Happy Holidays 💜
How very soothing - and you batting the small box - catlike - priceless! Just came from Anna's unboxing so it was lovely seeing the other side
When it comes to boxes I learned from the best ;)
@@JuulThijssen Having just watched one of mine look me in the eye and do almost the same move ... I understand fully. Well Done :D

And all the thought and decoration you put into the gift!!! So beautiful. :) I just found your channel today, from Bernadette's video; merry Christmas!!
Kirstine Thank you and a very merry Christmas to you, too!

I envy your ability with knitting - those writstlets are very pretty! And you cat, well, your cat is very dignified, even wearing flowers in their fur.

Hi Juul, Like so many others of the comments below, I came here via Bernadette's vlog. The moment I saw you video, I have subscribed because I like the way you have made your vlog. Later on I was realy entertained by the room you sit in. It was like I was stepping back in my grandmother's house. She was living in Wassenaar, and her house had the same atmosphere. She was a seamstress and throughout the house you could find remnants of her craft. I look forward to what 2020 will bring us, who vicariously live as small parts of the history bound life. I am not a seamstress by a long shot, but looking at all your various talents and projects give me at least hope that something might emerge from my hands one day of which I might say that I am proud to have made it. Happy holidays!
Thank you for your lovely and elaborate comment! I am surely living the quirky grandma aesthetic ;) Happy Holidays!
Everything beautiful, but the inside of the box is totally brilliant!

I do love the ASMR aspect to your videos. They are so relaxing to watch. This Secret Santa really has helped a lot of people like me find you and other interesting channels and has helped produce interesting content too. I look forward to following your work in 2020 :-)
Thank you! I agree the Secret Santa was a blessing in getting to know many fellow creators
Such beautiful handiwork and a wonderfully executed video! As you were knitting, I was knitting a pair of woolen gloves myself. :) You definitely have a new subscriber!
Betty Wight How lovely, I hope they came out nice!
I was missing posts from most of you and knew you were busy at this time of year and waited patiently for your next videos. This idea and all these videos were a great surprise! I loved watching each of them and also learning about other costume designers and seamstresses. You all gave and got great gifts and all of us got equally the same getting to watch your videos of so much kindness and thoughts that went into the gifts and videos. Thank you so much for being a part of this gift exchange.
I will share this same comment on each video involved in this costube.
It was a lot of fun to do the Secret Santa!
I loved the video. It was thoughtful and kind-- but then you were ready to start brawling over candy! You are the best!
I take my pepernoten very seriously ;)

Oh my god i was just watching all the secret santa videos while knittig so i was very excited when i saw you knitting too. That was really cool but when you were done i realized we are doing the exact same pattern!
Oh my goodness, your creativity and talent are amazing. I’ll be working on Joey and koala pouches for a little while before I can get back to being creative.
Good luck with the pouches, so good of you to help!!
The smoke is so bad you have to keep your doors and windows shut and I live a few hundred kilometres away. There are just so many displaced and injured animals I don’t know how we can save them all. 😞

Big floofy hug from my cat to you!
