  • Why do we feel it so deeply when others reject our handmade gifts? Today, I'm going a little deeper into the heart behind our hands. Thanks for watching!

    My daughter is home from church with a stomach bug, so we’re snuggled on the couch watching Miss Mary. Thank you for sharing your heart with us… I feel like we did get some fellowship with a sister even though we’re home from church today! 😊

      Praying for a full and speedy recovery for your daughter AND that no one else picks up that bug! Big hugs from your faraway sis! 💞💞

    Some people are just mentally unstable. I once gave a relative a birthday card with money in it. She didn't open it in front of me. A month later I was riding in her car, and the unopened card was on the floor with shoe prints on it. I explained to her there was money in it to buy whatever she wanted. She still didn't open it. For some reason it didn't make her happy as intended, so I stopped giving her cards. I don't know what was going on in her mind, but that wasn't what most of us would consider to be a normal reaction.

      Oh, goodness, the only phrase I can think of for that relative is, "Bless her heart!" Not in a backhanded way, but it sounds like her heart was in genuine need of some blessing to sort itself out. Sounds like a painful situation all around, but you've made lemonade from the lemons and learned from it. 💞💞

    If your mom wasn't crying at 5:38...please know this 64 year old lady is. What a beautiful, lovely reflection of your mother you are passing on here. In a world that often thrives on sarcastic humor, your dad's explanation of your grandmother was so gentle. So knowing. What a precious quality. I am taking a break before readying for worship this morning and discovered your post. New subscriber here in my little corner of Massachusetts. I miss my mom and dad dearly. Jehovah blessed my morning with direction to your video. As a crochet-er, daughter and mother, myself, I needed to hear your words. Thank you, so much.💜

      You beauty! Thank you so much for your encouragement. I'm having trouble finding words to adequately reply. Whatever you've received from my video, know that you've measured it back in kind through your comment. Big hugs up to Massachusetts from the humid, sunny South!

    I have always felt when you hand make something for someone you give them a piece of your heart ❤️.

      So true! It's like when someone cooks for you and you can "taste the love" they put into it! 💗💗

    Hi Mary 🤗 I needed to hear everything you said! I love how your dad helped you know what your mum’s mum was like…when you were telling your mum how much you love her…all I could think of was…how proud I am to have some of my mum’s wonderful qualities…you truly are an amazing soul…thank you! 🙏🏼🥰🧶🤩

      Hi, lovely Litsa! I am so glad my video had such a beautiful effect on you. Your mother must be a wonderful woman - she instilled so many exquisite qualities into you! Big hugs, sweet friend! 💞💞

    While I value the time I spend making something, I have very little attachment to the things I make. My enjoyment is in the process of making. No one else needs to values my stuff.

      What a free attitude you have! I am sure that only increases the joy you have in creating! 💗💗

    This is an interesting perspective.
    I enjoy creating things, but I am mostly doing it now because I enjoy creating.
    I have accepted that not everyone may like what I like, and that’s okay. Thanks for this great video.

      Ah, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! It really lifts a burden when we take the focus off how others will receive our work! 💓💓

    Thank you so much for sharing your responses to these interesting subjects - I always love to be given some extra food for thought. When giving handmade gifts I often need to check my expectations for how someone might respond… I will definitely be thinking about this a bit more! ❤

      Oh, Mrs. Helen, in a world that is always in such a hurry to go and do and become, you are that kind, firm voice declaring that life is only truly lived when we take time to reflect. I'm so thankful you are part of my life!
