Thank you everyone for your very sweet and kind words of comfort and support. I have read every single one of your messages and although I may not have commented, rest assured your words mean a lot to me and have helped me tremendously. ♥️
All the prices were so fabulous. Hope you are coping with the loss of your father a little better by now. I know by saying this that it really doesn't seem to help during the first year but it is true. Time does make it get easier but you do still miss your loved one everyday. My mother passed all alone also at age 55 from a stroke and it was a shock and also devastating. She has been gone 32 years and I don't miss a week that I haven't cried for her. So I am praying for you 🙏
Luisa, my heart breaks for you.💔I only hope in time you will see signs from your Dad that bring you moments of peace and joy and comfort. I lost my Dad 7 years ago. I was so lost. I was Daddy’s little girl. Then the unbearable happened. I lost my son😢it will be 5 years on May 25th that my son Dino left this earth and went to heaven. My world stopped that day. My son also died alone with me watching outside the room thinking he was going to be ok. No idea he wasn’t going to make it. Luisa, you were my first inspiration to start making jewelry. I had been buying beads and pendant pieces for years but never actually had made anything. Your soft sweet voice and your inspiration along with your beautiful designs got me started and helped get me out of my depression, even if it’s for a few moments at a time. I then started following other beaders videos and combined you all have been my saviors. I still spend most of my time in bed, but creating my jewelry and playing with beads does bring me happiness. Luisa, a friend said this to me and I think it’s great advice- May a Smile hit your lips before a Tear hits your Cheek Luisa, I hope that helps you when you think about your wonderful Dad💜💕
Oh June...such sweet comforting words. I can’t imagine the pain you must’ve gone through and probably still are going through it. Thank goodness we have our hobby and our beading community friends. ❤️
Luisa, you really outdid yourself with these designs. They were all so beautiful that I could not pick a favorite. I am so glad to see you designing again. When my husband died, I stopped making jewelry all together. It took me several years to want to bead again. I think it was because he was my biggest supporter. When we traveled, he would take me to the bead stores and just sit in the car and read and let me browse and buy. Like someone else said, you will always feel the void, but in time, your memories of your life with him will bring you peace and comfort. Just allow yourself time to grieve...that's very important. Know that we all love you and are here for you!
Sandra thank you for your kind words. Your husband sounds like he was very loving and patient man. I can see why you had to take a break. I actually just started back up this week. Luckily, the footage of the jewelry was filmed a couple of weeks ago. ❤️
Luisa, you have been on my mind, in my prayers and my heart. Wow, gorgeous pieces. I love, love, love the boho necklace. I plan to make one someday. I sadly cancelled my subscription to BBB for now. I will go back. I have 4 months of beads that need to be played with before I receive anymore. I haven't been beading because I was having trouble with my eyes. I went for my yearly diabetic eye exam this week and it turns out I will have to have some minor surgery to correct the problem. Hopefully when the problem is cleared up I can go back to playing with beads. Right now I'm just playing with them but not putting anything together. Luisa, take all the time you need to grieve....it's important. Your local fans (like me) will be waiting. Love and Hugs.
So beautiful, I am new to beading and love to learn from experienced designers. And get inspirations and ideas from seeing their work. Thanks for sharing. You are very talented.
Thank you for posting. It must have been very hard to post this video based on your recent loss. I appreciate your efforts to move forward. If time allows, I'd like to see a tutorial on making a tassel pendant similar to the one you included on your necklace. Peace to you.
Oh my, I am so sorry for your broken heart. Your father was not alone, he was with angels & went with them. My husband struggles with the loss of his mom, he says he didn't get the chance to say "I love you one last time". I remind him that a parent already knows you do love them, they know you. Their heart is never alone, its brimming over with you. God bless you & fill your heart with so many beautiful rememberings, that there is no room for pain.
Luisa you never fail to challenge my jewelry making. I love all your creations this month!!!!! Again having a good Dad is the best and losing him is so hard. I pray God will hold you close as your heart begins to heal. Love you.
Dearest Luisa During this saddest time in your life, having just lost your beloved Dad and when the grief cuts into your heart like a hot poker, you have placed your raw emotion into creating some of the most beautiful creations I have ever seen. I have just watched this latest video for the second time right through. I haven’t known what to say to you, to say the right words as your sadness is so palpable. I wish I could give you a big hug, fix you a delicious meal and pour you a warm brandy and show you how much myself and thousands of your followers care for you. You have touched so many souls with your beading creations, your beautiful demeanour and the effort you put into each video. We love you so much and hope and pray your pain will ease a little each day, as you remember the great times with your Dad. Lots of love and hugs, from your Aussie Mate, Jen xx🌺🌺🌺🌸🌸🌸🌹🌹🌹💜💜💜
Jen, your beautiful words felt like a warm comforting blanket just now. You’re so sweet! I thought about you a lot while I was digging through photos of my childhood and Dad. Seeing photos of my life in Australia brought tremendous comfort to me when I needed it the most. And so do your words 😌 now if I could just get that delicious meal and warm brandy, I will feel a whole lot better. Thank you my friend. Much love to you and your family ♥️🇦🇺🦘.
Your pieces are stunning as always. I was surprised to see a video so soon. Please take the time you need to heal your heart we will all be waiting for you when your ready. Love and hugs form one daughter who has lost her father to another. The memories just get sweeter
Beautiful designs. I too stitched beads to the medallion and it came out so Victorian looking. Sorry for the loss of your father. Embrace the memories you shared together and hold them close to your heart. Let the love you have for each other continue to inspire your creativeness and bring you inner peace through his spirit that lives within you. Each ray of sunshine is a warm hug, each raindrop that falls upon your cheek a sweet kiss and each breeze that sweeps through your hair a gentle whisper. All of these are gifts to you from heaven. A positive thought about ordinary things will prove to be the magical moments you can still create with him, your Dad. Blessings to you.
Luisa,my heart goes out to you at this time of your loss.My dad passed over 30 years ago and it took me a long time to recover. My dad and my husband’s mom also died alone. I think sometimes that is a choice that they decide to take.I think the angels wrap them in their arms and take them away. I hope you will start to feel yourself in no time. Hugs
Stunningly beautiful Louisa! You always inspire me with your creations. I am so very sorry for your terrible loss. No words can help during this sad time, and the pain never goes away, but lessens in time. The love you feel lives on in your heart forever. My wonderful father passed in 1983, and he is still with me everyday. Bless you.💕
I am selfishly happy to see you.....I lost my Dad 30 years ago and not a day goes by that I don't miss him. He was my hero. I was alone with my father-in-law when he passed. Without getting into personal beliefs about my faith, please rest assured that your Dad was not alone....I saw it for myself with my father in law and it gave us all a huge comfort. We weren't with Dad when he actually passed but we were with him very shortly before and also saw that as he was preparing to leave us, he was at peace and very definitely not alone. While time does not heal, it does help us to deal with our sorrow....I promise that you will see your Dad again....💖
Luisa my heart is breaking for you. I am very close to my Dad too, he got me started in jewelry. His health is declining and with everything going on this year I haven’t seen him as much to keep him safe. I will keep you in my prayers that God will give you peace and strength to get through this. ❤️🙏🏻
Luisa, I am so very sorry to hear about your dad's passing. I know that this is a sad time for you. May God be with you on this hard journey. I love everything that you made. It was all so soft and beautiful. Love your soft calming voice, I love listening to you as much as I enjoy looking at your lovely work. Take care
Beautiful jewelry designs. So sorry about your Dad. It will take time don’t be too hard on yourself for being down. Hugs and I will be keeping you and your family in my prayers.💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏
Hi Luisa. Again I am so sorry for your loss. You are a major inspiration for me, not only for your amazing talent but for the beautiful caring person you are. The stories you share I’m sure not only touch and hit close to home for me, but for so many people. I am so glad to see you back. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love and strength to you and your family. Geri
Dear Luisa I just watched your memorial video of your Dad. So sorry for you loss. May your memories and support from all of your family , friends and us comfort you during this time ❤. This quote gave me some comfort during a time of personal loss. "I can no longer see you with eyes or touch you with hands but I will feel you in my heart forever." ❤ sincere condolences. Kelly from Ontario Canada
BEAUTIFUL pieces! 💕💕💕 Thank you for sharing. I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. May God give you His comfort during this difficult time. 🙏🙏🙏💕😊🌹
You are such a special woman and you have a gentleness about you and also a strength that shines through. I admire you for many reasons. You are handling this tough part of life with grace and honesty. I hope I can do the same when I must face the same thing you are facing now. It seems to me that you do your best work while under pressure because these are my favorite pieces that I have seen you make. I love them so much. They are romantic and feminine with a personality all their own. They could be in a museum, they are that lovely, and so are you. My wish for you is that the Lord keeps his hand on you and is there to continue to comfort you! I am sending all my best wishes and prayers your way. Remember you are loved by many people and some you have never even met yet, including me.
Michele thank you my friend for such kind comforting words. It means a lot to me. Thank goodness we have our hobby and everyone here for support. Our faith, friends, and family is what helps us through trying times. I actually spent the better part of a week in my studio with the lights off. I didn’t have the energy to do much of anything. Luckily most of the footage in this video was created a couple of weeks ago and I just had to make the intro and outro. The video editing really helped get my mind off things. I’m hoping I can get back to designing this week because it really does help to have a distraction ♥️
I first would like to say how very sorry I am for the Loss of your Father, my Condolences. May he Rest in Peace 🙏 I only now was made aware of it. Exquisite designs and you never cease to amaze me with them...
Such amazing, beautiful pieces Luisa! You are so talented. You inspire me with every video I watch. I’m learning so much from you. Thank you for doing so! Prayers for comfort during this difficult time for you and your family. I lost my Dad in 1992. I still miss him so much. Time does help as does our memories.
Wow. Absolutely gorgeous creations. You are an inspiration!! God Bless I’m truly sorry for your loss. Your dad will always be with you in your heart and soul. ❤️😘🙏🏻
Luisa, this is an incredibly inspiring collection. So much gentle beauty! Just amazing! Thank you so very much ❣️ Watching a early unboxing I fell in love with the January box. So much so that I became a member. Happy I did. I even ordered more pieces when they were offered..... 😆. Haven't created anything yet because of some family stuff I was working on. But I've been thinking and studying on those little lovelies. Your video today gave me the final pieces of the puzzle. I know what I am going to do now 🤩 You are loved, missed and prayed over by so many. You've earned that love Luisa. Take your time healing honey. It is important that you follow your heart on just how you use that time. We are all here now and will be when you are inspired. If you need a bit of encouragement , we are here for that too. We are a family of sorts after all. Bless you and your family beautiful lady ❣️🙏❣️
Oh thank you so much. You’re so sweet! 🙂 it’s comforting to have so much support and kindness. It has helped me tremendously and I’m hoping our community will help others during times of need. These are trying times for everyone and so we must do what we can to stay positive. I’m taking one day at a time ♥️
Beautiful! I know you are grieving- so wish I could have reached through that screen to give you a hug! Keep making beautiful jewelry and be kind with yourself during this tough time! I am sending comforting prayers your way!
You inspire me every day, you know. If I'm ever having a 'block' or having a hard time settling down and working, all I have to do is browse through your channel. This collection is *amazing*!! I just love the large wrapped loops you used on a couple of your necklaces. They look so good! I think I have to try that on something from this month's box. Thanks again, and always, Luisa 🥰
Dear Luisa, I would like to tell you that I was touched by the death of your beloved father. The photos show how much he loved you. But life goes on, doesn't it? Thank you for sharing your wonderful creations again. You’re someone special. 💕
Luisa , praying that you and family find strength to get you through this awful loss. My deepest sympathy 💐. Find peace in your passion for creating beautiful jewelry. 💖
Every piece of jewelry was absolutely breathtaking. You really outdid yourself this time......actually you outdo yourself every time 😍. You are so talented. I’m sorry for your loss. You’re in my prayers.
What a beautiful and peaceful video! I don't like it when you have to rush. I'm sorry for the loss of your father. Prayers for your comfort during this sad time.
You are a wonderful artist. So sorry to hear about your dad’s passing. I lost my mother a few weeks back and have not felt creative since then. Your beautiful work inspire me.
Im so sorry Monika. It’s so difficult to lose a parent. 😔 I’m glad we have this platform for emotional support. I actually filmed the footage a couple of weeks ago but I am just now getting back to designing. It helps to have a distraction but there’s a constant void in the heart. ♥️
Beautiful work as always. You always inspire me with your pieces. 🙏🙏 it takes time to heal. Your music and scenery are very relaxing Thank you for sharing your work. Glad to see you back on UA-cam
First off I want to say so sorry for the loss of your father . I know the pain of losing a parent no matter their age , it still makes you miss them so much. Your jewelry designs are so beautiful and romantically elegant. your creativity in the designs just keeps getting better and better . I love them all ! I thank you sharing your designs and I wish you a very Merry Christmas and I hope your New Year is a good and happy one . God bless you Luisa .😊😍💖
Aww…thank you so much for the lovely compliments! 🥰 and thank you for the kind words about my father ❤️ It’s definitely a very painful experience to lose a parent. I think about both of my parents every single day 💙 I hold onto the belief that, ultimately, we'll all be reunited when the time comes 🥰
The pieces of jewelry were absolutely beautiful. Luisa, you always amaze me with your creative ideas and your eye for beauty. The tribute to your father was so wonderful, you were so lucky to have one another. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
Breathtaking work, Luisa. I'm amazed by your ability to come up with such creative designs on the fly. If only my brain worked like yours! On another note, I can see and hear how much you are hurting from your Dad's loss. So very sorry Luisa and sending you love and many many hugs.
Thanks a lot, Louisa. Your creations are really unique. I love them all, but my favourite is the second necklace. I will try to make it. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely gorgeous rose and you did such an amazing design with it...great job. I absolutely love everything you do. Thanks so much for sharing...love love love them all. 🌿🍁🌿🍂🌿
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! Roses are one of my favorite flowers! But I love all flowers and that’s where I get a lot of my inspiration 🌸🌺🌼💐🌷🌻
Your creativity was really in high gear this week... So many pretty, pink, romantic necklaces... perfect for Valentines Day... I liked them all but if forced to pick one I think it would be the 2nd from the last one... I'm definitely going to try that design out. Thanks Luisa... God Bless you...
Thank you Nancy. I actually made the pieces a couple of weeks ago and all I had to do is combine the footage. But even video editing has helped me tremendously. ❤️
First time watching this video. So sorry for the loss of your Father. My parents past a while ago and I still miss them every day. But with the promise of an earthly resurrection I know I will be with them again. You are a gentle and kind person. You can be with your loved ones again soon.
I think the biggest thing that I hate about this damn pandemic is that we can't be with our loved ones in their last minutes no matter what is taking them down, which I think is not only ridiculous but inhumanely cruel. Even if we are infected ourselves, what are we going to do, make a dying loved one sicker?? And then we can't even have a proper funeral for them. My heart just breaks for everyone who's dealing or dealt with lost loved ones in the past year. I was blessed in that I got to be with each of my parents when they passed. It was heartbreaking but so much easier than getting a phone call. I'm proud that you've soldiered on and with such beautiful results. I lost my mom 2 1/2 years ago after caring for her for a year prior. She was my biggest cheerleader and best client (along with my brother's wife of almost 50years who died suddenly after hip surgery 6 months before Mom, so it was a double whammy.) I still haven't been able to pick up the tools and get to work (as I've mentioned before about being in a deep blue funk for many months) even though I'm still amassing beads just to keep the Muse alive and well fed, and I do have design ideas come to me when I'm falling asleep, so I keep a notebook by my bed. I think that's a good sign, and I've been feeling the pull to get back at it lately. I rely on a select few of you UA-camrs to keep my design juices flowing. So thanks for that. And know, Luisa, that I'm with you in spirit as you go forth. I'm sure having a channel is a big part in driving you to produce, but that doesn't mean that you're in the zone mentally. I get that. I'm sure this is quite hard for you to find a happy place mentally in which to want to create, but I know how freeing it can be, even for a little while, to lose yourself in a creative project. Your flower embellished filigree focal is just beautiful. That, in itself, is a work of art. And I love the gold roses wrapped into the filigree links. Genius! All of these are beautiful. It can't be easy to create content when your heart is trying to recover from being pummeled. I'm impressed with your strength and conviction to your craft and the call to teach. Thanks so much for all the inspiration you've given me in my time of need. I'm sending good thoughts your way. Hugs from your biggest fan.
Thank you Kim. Your words mean a lot to me. You’re right...this pandemic has affected so many aspects of our lives and made difficult events such as funerals and hospitalizations horrendously more difficult. We had to do a Zoom funeral for my Dad. On the positive side, we could invite people from all over the world to participate but it’s not the same as a physical hug. I know you’ve been in a “blue funk” and I feel so bad for you. I used almost that same terminology yesterday during a conversation with my husband. I actually spent a whole week hiding in my studio with the lights off but since I had already filmed my jewelry footage a couple of weeks ago, I was able to find the motivation to combine the footage and add the intro and outro for this video and, I must say, it did help to have that distraction. I’m just taking one day at a time and waiting anxiously for Spring because that always helps my state of mind. ♥️
My name is actually Janie, John is my guy, I just recently started following you and I ran across this video. I could tell you were very sad and very close to your father as I was. He would want you to get back to what you love to do, and that is to continue making beautiful jewelry and to share it with others. So thank you I'm going to look forward to your videos and they are as beautiful as your jewelry
Loved the 2nd and 3rd necklaces! I always get inspired watching your videos. Thank you for sharing and my thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Hi Luisa Thank you for taking the time to reply, so very kind of you under the circumstances. Please take care of yourself Dear Friend, take the time you need to heal, put yourself first. When we (your devoted followers) need a Luisa fix, we can go to your library and revisit some of your earlier designs. I often do that, and it’s amazing what I pick up on, that I missed first time. I wish you could visit Au at the moment, my family and I would love to show you around, take you to all your old haunts and you could have some more happy memories of your Dad. When will this COVID be over, so we can start visiting again? Love and hugs, your Aussie mate, Jen xx🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼💜💜💜💜🦘🦘🦘
Hi Louisa I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, it's such sad news, I'm sending u my condolences 💕Thank u so much for posting your beautiful creations, I always love looking at your stunning makes they are always so unique . U are by far my favourite designer 💕 Stay strong Louisa, sending u lot's of love oxo ❤️
All of these pieces need a tutorial 🤩😍😁. My sister would definitely wear these pieces. I have beautiful Lampwork beads that I didn’t know what to do with and you just answered my question on what to do. Please do tutorials on these? That would be awesome 😎. Besides....your voice is so soothing to listen to and you’re so encouraging. Many blessings to you and your family.
I just came across you video, and so glad I did. You have a new subscriber. Your creations are so beautiful 😍. I'm looking forward to seeing your future videos. I'm so sorry for your loss, by the way. It's great that you still go outside for a while, even though it's cold 🥶.
I am so sorry for the loss of your father. Even if we know they are going to pass soon it is still hard.. I hope you have.great memories of time you have spent with him. God bless you and your family. 😊❤
All of your designs are gorgeous! I’m sending you positive vibes to help your heart heal. I’m so sorry to hear he was alone - Covid has been so unfair and heartbreaking to so many people. I’m still hopeful that one day we’ll be able to visit our loved ones again without the fear of spreading illness. I FaceTime with my son in Texas but haven’t physically seen him in almost two years. He wants to come home and hug us but until we’re all vaccinated, I don’t think it’ll be safe. My thoughts and prayers are still with you. 🙏🏻💕
I am a stranger to you but I’m sending my condolence and loving thoughts for your peace of mind and may I say that Your jewellery is beautiful and inspiring!
OMG wow 🤩 is all I can say every necklace you made is drop dead gorgeous! Your so talented I know I always say this but man I would by the whole collection
Thank you everyone for your very sweet and kind words of comfort and support. I have read every single one of your messages and although I may not have commented, rest assured your words mean a lot to me and have helped me tremendously. ♥️

Time let’s us remember the sweet memories without the pain of the loss.
Luisa my heart is breaking for you.
I am very close to my Dad too, he got me started in jewelry. His health is declining and with everything going on this year I haven’t seen him as much to keep him safe. I will keep you in my prayers that God will give you peace and strength to get through this. ❤️🙏🏻
Luisa, I am so very sorry to hear about your dad's passing. I know that this is a sad time for you. May God be with you on this hard journey. I love everything that you made. It was all so soft and beautiful. Love your soft calming voice, I love listening to you as much as I enjoy looking at your lovely work. Take care
Beautiful jewelry designs. So sorry about your Dad. It will take time don’t be too hard on yourself for being down. Hugs and I will be keeping you and your family in my prayers.💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏
Simply beautiful necklaces. I love the Springtime look! It's good to see you again. 💞
Hi Luisa. Again I am so sorry for your loss. You are a major inspiration for me, not only for your amazing talent but for the beautiful caring person you are. The stories you share I’m sure not only touch and hit close to home for me, but for so many people. I am so glad to see you back. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love and strength to you and your family. Geri
Thank you Geri ❤️
Dear Luisa I just watched your memorial video of your Dad. So sorry for you loss. May your memories and support from all of your family , friends and us comfort you during this time ❤. This quote gave me some comfort during a time of personal loss. "I can no longer see you with eyes or touch you with hands but I will feel you in my heart forever." ❤ sincere condolences. Kelly from Ontario Canada
Oh Kelly...what a lovely comforting quote. Thank you so much my friend ♥️
BEAUTIFUL pieces! 💕💕💕 Thank you for sharing. I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. May God give you His comfort during this difficult time. 🙏🙏🙏💕😊🌹
You are such a special woman and you have a gentleness about you and also a strength that shines through. I admire you for many reasons. You are handling this tough part of life with grace and honesty. I hope I can do the same when I must face the same thing you are facing now. It seems to me that you do your best work while under pressure because these are my favorite pieces that I have seen you make. I love them so much. They are romantic and feminine with a personality all their own. They could be in a museum, they are that lovely, and so are you. My wish for you is that the Lord keeps his hand on you and is there to continue to comfort you! I am sending all my best wishes and prayers your way. Remember you are loved by many people and some you have never even met yet, including me.
Michele thank you my friend for such kind comforting words. It means a lot to me. Thank goodness we have our hobby and everyone here for support. Our faith, friends, and family is what helps us through trying times. I actually spent the better part of a week in my studio with the lights off. I didn’t have the energy to do much of anything. Luckily most of the footage in this video was created a couple of weeks ago and I just had to make the intro and outro. The video editing really helped get my mind off things. I’m hoping I can get back to designing this week because it really does help to have a distraction ♥️
I first would like to say how very sorry I am for the Loss of your Father, my Condolences. May he Rest in Peace 🙏 I only now was made aware of it.
Exquisite designs and you never cease to amaze me with them...
Such amazing, beautiful pieces Luisa! You are so talented. You inspire me with every video I watch. I’m learning so much from you. Thank you for doing so! Prayers for comfort during this difficult time for you and your family. I lost my Dad in 1992. I still miss him so much. Time does help as does our memories.
Wow. Absolutely gorgeous creations. You are an inspiration!! God Bless I’m truly sorry for your loss. Your dad will always be with you in your heart and soul. ❤️😘🙏🏻
Can't say I have a favorite. I love all your jewlrey. Stunning. Making jewlrey is also great therapy.
You are so inspiring. Thanks for sharing. ☺️👍
Luisa, this is an incredibly inspiring collection. So much gentle beauty! Just amazing! Thank you so very much ❣️ Watching a early unboxing I fell in love with the January box. So much so that I became a member. Happy I did. I even ordered more pieces when they were offered..... 😆. Haven't created anything yet because of some family stuff I was working on. But I've been thinking and studying on those little lovelies. Your video today gave me the final pieces of the puzzle. I know what I am going to do now 🤩
You are loved, missed and prayed over by so many. You've earned that love Luisa. Take your time healing honey. It is important that you follow your heart on just how you use that time. We are all here now and will be when you are inspired. If you need a bit of encouragement , we are here for that too. We are a family of sorts after all. Bless you and your family beautiful lady ❣️🙏❣️
Oh thank you so much. You’re so sweet! 🙂 it’s comforting to have so much support and kindness. It has helped me tremendously and I’m hoping our community will help others during times of need. These are trying times for everyone and so we must do what we can to stay positive. I’m taking one day at a time ♥️
Beautiful, God Bless and I'm sorry for your loss. It's never easy to lose a parent.
The beaded medallion was absolutely gorgeous!
Beautiful! I know you are grieving- so wish I could have reached through that screen to give you a hug! Keep making beautiful jewelry and be kind with yourself during this tough time! I am sending comforting prayers your way!
❤️
I am so sorry for your loss. May God bless you and your family. My heart goes out to you.
You inspire me every day, you know. If I'm ever having a 'block' or having a hard time settling down and working, all I have to do is browse through your channel. This collection is *amazing*!! I just love the large wrapped loops you used on a couple of your necklaces. They look so good! I think I have to try that on something from this month's box. Thanks again, and always, Luisa 🥰
❤️
Dear Luisa, I would like to tell you that I was touched by the death of your beloved father. The photos show how much he loved you. But life goes on, doesn't it? Thank you for sharing your wonderful creations again. You’re someone special. 💕
So very sorry to hear of your loss. Keep your head up. Blessings on you dear one. You will always feel his love. Beautiful creations.
Luisa , praying that you and family find strength to get you through this awful loss. My deepest sympathy 💐. Find peace in your passion for creating beautiful jewelry. 💖
Beautiful creations! Much love to you, an you have been on my mind. Your dad is watching over you.❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful work. I love all the pieces & all pinks...Enjoy the sun.
So sorry for your loss... hugs to you & your family during this most difficult time..
I absolutely love what you did with the rose quarz focal!
Every piece of jewelry was absolutely breathtaking. You really outdid yourself this time......actually you outdo yourself every time 😍. You are so talented. I’m sorry for your loss. You’re in my prayers.
Beautiful!!
These are outstanding. I was so sorry to hear about your Dad. I lost mine years ago, way to soon.
You designs are always stunning! Every one of them! My thoughts and prayers have been with you. Take care of yourself.🙏
What a beautiful and peaceful video! I don't like it when you have to rush.
I'm sorry for the loss of your father. Prayers for your comfort during this sad time.
You are a wonderful artist. So sorry to hear about your dad’s passing. I lost my mother a few weeks back and have not felt creative since then. Your beautiful work inspire me.
Im so sorry Monika. It’s so difficult to lose a parent. 😔 I’m glad we have this platform for emotional support. I actually filmed the footage a couple of weeks ago but I am just now getting back to designing. It helps to have a distraction but there’s a constant void in the heart. ♥️
Beautiful work as always. You always inspire me with your pieces. 🙏🙏 it takes time to heal. Your music and scenery are very relaxing Thank you for sharing your work. Glad to see you back on UA-cam
First off I want to say so sorry for the loss of your father . I know the pain of losing a parent no matter their age , it still makes you miss them so much.
Your jewelry designs are so beautiful and romantically elegant. your creativity in the designs just keeps getting better and better . I love them all ! I thank you sharing your designs and I wish you a very Merry Christmas and I hope your New Year is a good and happy one . God bless you Luisa .😊😍💖
Aww…thank you so much for the lovely compliments! 🥰 and thank you for the kind words about my father ❤️ It’s definitely a very painful experience to lose a parent. I think about both of my parents every single day 💙 I hold onto the belief that, ultimately, we'll all be reunited when the time comes 🥰
I am so sorry for the news about dad. Please keep creating and looking up!❤🙏
The pieces of jewelry were absolutely beautiful. Luisa, you always amaze me with your creative ideas and your eye for beauty. The tribute to your father was so wonderful, you were so lucky to have one another. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
Breathtaking work, Luisa. I'm amazed by your ability to come up with such creative designs on the fly. If only my brain worked like yours! On another note, I can see and hear how much you are hurting from your Dad's loss. So very sorry Luisa and sending you love and many many hugs.
Thank you Diane ♥️
Beautiful creations! So sorry for your loss. I am sending love, light and peace!
Thanks a lot, Louisa. Your creations are really unique. I love them all, but my favourite is the second necklace. I will try to make it. Thanks for sharing.
I loved your designs, every one blended beautifully together. First time I've seen your channel. I'm sorry for your loss.
Absolutely gorgeous rose and you did such an amazing design with it...great job. I absolutely love everything you do. Thanks so much for sharing...love love love them all. 🌿🍁🌿🍂🌿
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! Roses are one of my favorite flowers! But I love all flowers and that’s where I get a lot of my inspiration 🌸🌺🌼💐🌷🌻
Your creativity was really in high gear this week... So many pretty, pink, romantic necklaces... perfect for Valentines Day... I liked them all but if forced to pick one I think it would be the 2nd from the last one... I'm definitely going to try that design out. Thanks Luisa... God Bless you...
Thank you Nancy. I actually made the pieces a couple of weeks ago and all I had to do is combine the footage. But even video editing has helped me tremendously. ❤️
First time watching this video. So sorry for the loss of your Father. My parents past a while ago and I still miss them every day. But with the promise of an earthly resurrection I know I will be with them again. You are a gentle and kind person. You can be with your loved ones again soon.
I think the biggest thing that I hate about this damn pandemic is that we can't be with our loved ones in their last minutes no matter what is taking them down, which I think is not only ridiculous but inhumanely cruel. Even if we are infected ourselves, what are we going to do, make a dying loved one sicker?? And then we can't even have a proper funeral for them. My heart just breaks for everyone who's dealing or dealt with lost loved ones in the past year. I was blessed in that I got to be with each of my parents when they passed. It was heartbreaking but so much easier than getting a phone call. I'm proud that you've soldiered on and with such beautiful results. I lost my mom 2 1/2 years ago after caring for her for a year prior. She was my biggest cheerleader and best client (along with my brother's wife of almost 50years who died suddenly after hip surgery 6 months before Mom, so it was a double whammy.) I still haven't been able to pick up the tools and get to work (as I've mentioned before about being in a deep blue funk for many months) even though I'm still amassing beads just to keep the Muse alive and well fed, and I do have design ideas come to me when I'm falling asleep, so I keep a notebook by my bed. I think that's a good sign, and I've been feeling the pull to get back at it lately. I rely on a select few of you UA-camrs to keep my design juices flowing. So thanks for that. And know, Luisa, that I'm with you in spirit as you go forth. I'm sure having a channel is a big part in driving you to produce, but that doesn't mean that you're in the zone mentally. I get that. I'm sure this is quite hard for you to find a happy place mentally in which to want to create, but I know how freeing it can be, even for a little while, to lose yourself in a creative project. Your flower embellished filigree focal is just beautiful. That, in itself, is a work of art. And I love the gold roses wrapped into the filigree links. Genius! All of these are beautiful. It can't be easy to create content when your heart is trying to recover from being pummeled. I'm impressed with your strength and conviction to your craft and the call to teach. Thanks so much for all the inspiration you've given me in my time of need. I'm sending good thoughts your way. Hugs from your biggest fan.
Thank you Kim. Your words mean a lot to me. You’re right...this pandemic has affected so many aspects of our lives and made difficult events such as funerals and hospitalizations horrendously more difficult. We had to do a Zoom funeral for my Dad. On the positive side, we could invite people from all over the world to participate but it’s not the same as a physical hug. I know you’ve been in a “blue funk” and I feel so bad for you. I used almost that same terminology yesterday during a conversation with my husband. I actually spent a whole week hiding in my studio with the lights off but since I had already filmed my jewelry footage a couple of weeks ago, I was able to find the motivation to combine the footage and add the intro and outro for this video and, I must say, it did help to have that distraction. I’m just taking one day at a time and waiting anxiously for Spring because that always helps my state of mind. ♥️
My name is actually Janie, John is my guy, I just recently started following you and I ran across this video. I could tell you were very sad and very close to your father as I was. He would want you to get back to what you love to do, and that is to continue making beautiful jewelry and to share it with others. So thank you I'm going to look forward to your videos and they are as beautiful as your jewelry
Loved the 2nd and 3rd necklaces! I always get inspired watching your videos. Thank you for sharing and my thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Gorgeous. Love all your pieces. God bless you and your family. So sorry for your loss. 🙏🏻
As always, Beautiful, Creative pieces! You are Inspiring!!! Thank you for sharing, especially at this time in your life. Your in my prayers.
Wow hon you have made some stunning pieces of jewellery. Love and prayers and blessings to you and your family ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰
You are in my heart and prayers. I appreciate you making this video and sharing your beautiful creativity with us.
Hi Luisa
Thank you for taking the time to reply, so very kind of you under the circumstances. Please take care of yourself Dear Friend, take the time you need to heal, put yourself first.
When we (your devoted followers) need a Luisa fix, we can go to your library and revisit some of your earlier designs. I often do that, and it’s amazing what I pick up on, that I missed first time.
I wish you could visit Au at the moment, my family and I would love to show you around, take you to all your old haunts and you could have some more happy memories of your Dad. When will this COVID be over, so we can start visiting again?
Love and hugs, your Aussie mate, Jen xx🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼💜💜💜💜🦘🦘🦘
I am so sorry for your loss. Your jewelry is beautiful.
I was struggling what to do with January's box as pink really isn't my color, but I've definitely got some more ideas now - thanks!
BTW, can’t wait to see what you do with this month’s box. It’s a good one!😉
You knocked it out of the park! Absolutely beautiful, lovely, and ultra feminine.
I am so sorry for your loss. Peace and love to you.
Hi Louisa I'm so sorry to hear about your dad, it's such sad news, I'm sending u my condolences 💕Thank u so much for posting your beautiful creations, I always love looking at your stunning makes they are always so unique . U are by far my favourite designer 💕 Stay strong Louisa, sending u lot's of love oxo ❤️
All of these pieces need a tutorial 🤩😍😁. My sister would definitely wear these pieces. I have beautiful Lampwork beads that I didn’t know what to do with and you just answered my question on what to do. Please do tutorials on these? That would be awesome 😎. Besides....your voice is so soothing to listen to and you’re so encouraging. Many blessings to you and your family.
I enjoyed the jewelry you made so much... you put so much thought into you pieces
Very beautiful and creative, thank you for sharing all that you do.
Your second necklace turned out to be very romantic!❤️
So sorry for your loss those pieces are beautiful
I’m so very sorry for the loss of your father🥰🥰🥰💝💝 your designs are always great these are absolutely amazing. Thank you🤩🤩💖
I'm so sorry about your dad. Your pieces are just gorgeous
I just came across you video, and so glad I did. You have a new subscriber. Your creations are so beautiful 😍. I'm looking forward to seeing your future videos. I'm so sorry for your loss, by the way. It's great that you still go outside for a while, even though it's cold 🥶.
Your necklaces are so beautiful. Love the medallion.
Those pieces were absolutely beautiful!!
I am so sorry for the loss of your father. Even if we know they are going to pass soon it is still hard.. I hope you have.great memories of time you have spent with him. God bless you and your family. 😊❤
Thank you Mary 🥰
Many blessings and prayers. Love what you do, love the boho spring necklace!!
Exquisite designs Louisa. Thankyou for sharing. Please be very kind to yourself lovely lady. God bless xxxxx
I love learning from you, but it is hard following when I can't afford the beads you have from other sources. Thank you for instructing me.
Absolutely beautiful necklaces, I love every one of them!
Simply breathtaking
Luisa I love your dangles on the first necklace! They look like stems for the rose. Beautiful! Sorry to hear about your dad.😔❤️
Thank you. I have had such a difficult time with this box. But you have definitely inspired me.
So sorry, I did not know of your Dads passing. These are all beautiful.💜
All of your designs are gorgeous! I’m sending you positive vibes to help your heart heal. I’m so sorry to hear he was alone - Covid has been so unfair and heartbreaking to so many people. I’m still hopeful that one day we’ll be able to visit our loved ones again without the fear of spreading illness. I FaceTime with my son in Texas but haven’t physically seen him in almost two years. He wants to come home and hug us but until we’re all vaccinated, I don’t think it’ll be safe.
My thoughts and prayers are still with you. 🙏🏻💕
Thank you Sharon. Yes, it’s best to do virtual hugs at this time. ❤️
@@MistyMoonDesigns 💜💕💜
