Happy Knitting :)
Really appreciate you for taking the time to let us know how you and your family are doing-- have missed your post here on UA-cam!
Nova is definitely your mini me! She’s so cute! Good luck with completion of your renovations & definitely with health issues! Look forward to your return! And Layla grew so much! Enjoy them as they grow so quickly!
Sending good wishes to you and your beautiful family. Nice to see you. Layla has gotten so tall!
Nova is ah-door-ah-ball!!!! Adorable 🥰
Thank you for the up date! Wonderful to see Lyla, and Nova and your Mom & brother too. Your little girls are beautiful. Both with those beautiful eyes.
I hope your medical things get worked out and you get good help and results.
Definitely vlogs will be hard to do with so very much going on! Yikes, you have a plateful. But now we can all wish you love, and tell you not to worry, we know you will return when life slows down, and the Reno’s are done. Reno’s always turn life upside down while in progress.
Nova is adorable and obviously so well loved. Be kind to yourself Mina!
I’m going to try out another of your sock patterns! While you are busy yet a little longer. I hope lots of us do. Wishing you some good sleep soon. (Oh, I remember those sleepless nights alone, and hard hard it was!)
Awww. Shes wonderful. I love her. You're so blessed with that pretty baby girl. Don't worry about your podcast. Just take care of you life changing family issues....
Great to see you and Nova, love how much she communicates w you, so cute, everything will change in a few weeks but not easy now, what a gift to be that closely connected now, hang in there Mina, get yourself in a healthier place too!
Really love miss video s
This is so odd: I was just thinking about you recently and wondering why U haven’t been podcasting?. And here U R explaining why which made me very happy with the re-union. UR daughters r exceptionally beautiful, just love all that hair on the little one. Again, I am so happy that U connected with us again and looking forward to any podcast that U can prepare for us. Wishing u the best for UR health issues. I can identify with U since I am fighting a cancer which has no cure. It is the same cancer that took the life of UR wonderful QUEEN.❤️🙏. Joan
It was good to see you and Nova today! Hope and pray the medical issues get solved and healed.
Hope your renovations go smooth the rest of the time.
It’s safe to say that Nova stole the show 😂 Beautiful little girl ❤ You have so much on your plate at the moment, don’t worry about podcasting until you have everything sorted out at home. Take care of yourself too, if you can find a minute to spare!
My goodness, she‘s adorable! I wouldn’t be able to get anything done with her around😂! I just Found your channel, very cool!
Take a deep breath and we’ll see you when we see you next time.
Good to see you, Mina! Nova is adorable! Big hugs to you and family!❤❤❤
Oh my goodness she is adorable!
Oh my Mina !!! She is adorable!!!! What a joy!!1
Thank you for the update! Wishing you all the best. Your daughter is adorable
It was nice seeing you and and the family. Hope you all stay healthy and happy.
So nice to see you and the girls again. Sorry things are rough for you now. Things will get better.
So glad to see you.
Wow! Nova has grown so much.
Cant wait to see the finished house project (if you decide to show it) and all the knitting projects.
So lovely to see you Mina, how Nova has grown. Good luck with your renovations, it will all be worth it when it’s finished.😊
Lovely to see you here. Take care, see you whenever it happens.
So cute! Hopefully the house gets done quickly and painlessly!
Lovely catch up Mina.
Nova is adorable and that was a beautiful wave.
Exciting plans with all the renovations.
Take care x
I saw the notification and immediately went to UA-cam. It's so nice to see you & the girls. Your private life IS PRIVATE. We don't need to know every detail. Praying all goes well.
It's so crazy to watch your lovely kiddos grow 😍. Nova looks like a doll, she's so cute and stunningly pretty. Love and health to your sweet family.
Good to see you Mina ,and your lovely daughters'.Wishing you well with the renovations,which sound exciting, and particularly with your health.x
I just thought of you today as I was beginning my second sock cast on. Years ago I watched you to learn how to knit socks. You were so patient and taught me to cast on with my stitches just a little apart and not to worry about the first stitch when joining....it's fine after a few rounds. I've knit so many socks so easily! Thank you.
Hi Mina. It was so lovely to see you and Nova. You just do what you have to and we will see you when you get back, we’ll be here 🌹🫰😘👋
Donna here, hoping everything goes alright. I have also had pain in my upper arms and shoulders when I crochet. (I was a crocheter first) I have found that when I don't sit up (I'm short, so tend to want my feet on the floor, but then I lay back on the couch) I start tensing up. It may be that you have a different position than previous. I do have to be mindful about how I sit when crocheting or knitting. I hope this helps. looking forward to the next video!
Good to see you and the girls. Hope you will be better and well. Look forward to see you all again, when you have time❤️🙂
Nice to see u and Nova again. Nova has grown so big !
Good luck with the ranovstions in the house ❤🏡
Beautiful baby. She looks just like you ❤. Glad to see your back. Stay Creative 💕
She is soooooo precious 🥰
Aww, look at her waving and clapping! I think we totally understand your business-sounds like you have a LOT on your plate!
Nice to see you..Nova is adorable. Have missed you but hope you feel better soon.😊
So good to see you and Nova!! She has gotten so big!! Sorry that life is a little too topsy turvy right now between teething and the home renovations!! Do what you need to do and we'll see you on the other end Mina!
So lovely to see you ❤ I completely understand the stage you are at. I don’t know what it is about having babies but it seems to come with house renovations!! Your priority is you and your family and getting your home sorted. I’m not surprised you knitting mojo has waned. It will come back in time when you’ve got the headspace for it. Nova is totally adorable. I can’t believe Layla has gotten so tall!
Good luck with the rest of the house reno. We will see you when we see you!! Take care 🥰
Nova has grown so much! You will eventually find your new normal.
Your daughter is beautiful. ❤
Great to see you and your beautiful daughter🥰
So good to hear from you Nina . Nova is beautiful and adorable . Renovating is a hassle . Hope everything works out for you and family . Hugs 🫂
Beautiful Nova xx
Mina, lovely to see you and your beautiful Nova 😊
The clapping and waving is wonderful!!! Enjoy. ❤ Podcast low on the priority list understandably--no pressure AT ALL,
Your babies are so cute!
Oh wow…..you have a lot going on right now. I love seeing your podcasts, but more important to take care of those beautiful girls AND YOURSELF. ❤ Your podcasts are worth waiting for when things settle down! 💕
So good to see you! Take care of your health, most important. Nina is darling….how old now?
It was great to see you again and Nova is absolutely gorgeous ❤
She is precious!
I have been checking to see any posts, was happy to see this. Nova is so cute, she looks just like you! Sorry that you are having medical issues, they can defiantly be frustrating.
Mina, I have really missed seeing you. I am really glad though you are taking care of yourself. September will be here before you know it. Taking the time you need for yourself & the girls is very important. You won't regret it at all. I look forward to seeing your Renos. You have a very important job with the girls.
I just sent a message earlier this week, so your update was like an answer. Hoping your bealth issues work out for you. Will be thinking positive thoughts about you. Nova is so cute and Layla is getting so much bigger. You have your hands fu.l, and as the wife of a man whose work kept him out of town almost every week, I offer you my deepest sympathy and can only say that after being married 62 years, things wi.l eventually become a more normal routine. Your knitting and creativity will be the saving of your sanity,, ha,, ha.. Looking forward to anything you make to share and encourage all of us to
Oh my sweetness!! Nova looks just like her mama🎈🎈
Nova is distracting in the best way! Such a cute little bean!
I'm so excited to see your home reno vlog. House work is always so chaotic and disruptive, but so so worth it. (My parents had the plaster on their first floor re-done last year and it was a MESS for weeks.)
Regarding your health; I hope everything gets figured out quickly 💜
Lovely wee doll
OMG! She has grown up since the last time we saw her! Wow! She beautiful. It sounds like Layla has grown up! I can understand why you haven't knitted. When I had kids my knitting stopped for a long while. I think once your home is back to normal and Nova gets a little bigger, you will be back knitting. Your carpel tunnel, sounds like it's a pinched nerve in your back, maybe up by your neck and shoulders. Have you ever done massage on a regular basis? My daughter is a massage therapist. You would be surprised how many people are taking medicine for things a regular massage would work out. I will look forward to seeing the renovation videos. I love those. It's about time for Perry to get to gardening again. I will look forward to those videos also. We all think of you and your whole family all the time. Thank you for checking up on us and letting us know what is going on. we will be here when you are ready. Take care and blessings to you all.
Cute precious bundles Jesus bless them and keep them
Nova is so damn cute! And how did Layla get so big? 😭😭😭
I can't wait to see the renovations when they're done. I'm sure living through it now sucks (with a baby!) But I bet it'll be so worth it in the end. My cousins renovated their house and lived in a camper (a very very nice, big camper) in their backyard for 9ish months....with 5 daughters 🤯 I honestly don't know how they did it haha.
I happened to be thinking about you and your family yesterday. I've missed you. What has nova grown unbelievable how fast time goes. I hope you recover soon. and the renovation is done quickly, then at least you can get out of your feet again. it is quite a task to have to live in a room with 2 young children. take all the time you need. Your real fans will still wait and understand you.
Nova is adorable.
Oh my what a challenge lower floor renovations & 2 young children & weather not been compatible to getting out in the park etc Won’t be forever & vlogging podcasting low on priorities it will all come good in the end it’s just not the end 💖
Hi Mina; Noah is so ,so beautiful. I think she looks like Layla alot.
Sending good wishes for an efficient house renovation, improved health & mental bandwidth, and a return to "normalcy" ❤❤❤
You're having all the cute girl fun!
My husband had op is hand for carpal.
Hopefully the weather will be nice enough so you and baby can be out in the garden. Baby on a blanket with toys definitely will help with her sleep.
I have missed you but totally understand your life is busy right now. Nova is so big and cute and ready to vlog with her mummy. I look forward to your next update. 💕
Nova (sp).? is just gorgeous! I expect Layla is quite a big girl now? This is coincidental because you have been popping into my mind all day…so…I thought I’d have a look for you, and here you are.
So great to see you and little Nova. Renovations! They can be very frustrating I know. We adore you and your family and don't mind that you take the time you need. All the best and we look forward to any podcast you share at whatever time!!
So sorry you’re having trouble with your arms…carpal tunnel happens a lot during pregnancies and/or postpartum. Hope it clears up for you. Take your time coming back…we’ll be here waiting for you…🤗🧶💗
What a doll baby your daughter is..that hair is gorgeous. So sorry to hear of your health issues, I hope you feel better soon. ❤
Could nova be more beautiful..same as Layla..she's so tall now..I knew she'd be a good big sister..well loved seeing everyone..your mom looks great...looking forward to future for you..glad to see you..hope you can feel better 👩❤️👩
Home renovations are extremely stressful. I’ve been through several, including a kitchen gut. The most recent had all the bedrooms cleared out and my bed was in the living room for over a month! Soon it will be finished and you can enjoy your new kitchen and living spaces. Your kids are so adorable and Layla is quite the young lady now!
She is a very beautiful little girl she’s getting so big I know Layla is helping her little sister out. It’s good to see you both. I miss you guys all of you.
I’m sorry, Mina….we’re you saying something?? Nova stole the entire show! 😂
There so lovely girls
That is an awful lot on your plate. Please take care of yourself and we will see you when you can manage. Nova is adorable. Loved the clip of the girls playing with your brother.
Hope everything turns out good for you Healthwise. No one should never expect podcasters to share what they want to keep private. It's good just to see you back ! Wow, Nova ia sooo cute ! Renovations can drive anyone crazy, been there, done that. UGH
Sleep is for the weak. Yeah, that’s the message I’m getting from my kids here, too!
Is it your unler nerve ??
You have been busy! We are completing a reno of our home. I can relate to your abbreviated kitchen service and living in one room. I imagine with 2 little ones that makes it all the more complicated. Take care of your self and you and your husband are bright, educated adults. I am sure whatever decision(s) you make, they will the right one for you and your family. You don't need to let others' opinions influence what is right for you.
I am a knit wit, I called her Luna not Nova! I apologize!
It is obviously very confusing for a little child to understand why Mum is talking into the air and not giving any attention. Its hard to watch
she gets my attention almost all of the time ... she actually loves seeing herself in the camera and frankly the video is only a few mins long its not like this was going on for hours
