I have to just say how refreshing it is to have a professional here on youtube be a completely real human who has real world issues and lets us viewers into their/our shared realities. We're here and will continue to be with you.
So much strength is demonstrated as you move forward in your journey with work and family. I hope the Nutcracker is a beautiful experience for all of you and especially for your daughter!
Thank you so much. I'm just taking it one day at a time and trying to figure out what's next. My daughter did her first dress rehearsal last night. It was magical 🥰
Love the realness. Love the honesty. I have dealt with anxiety for many many years and my meds have saved my life. There was a time I couldn’t even move. I couldn’t be a wife or mom, could barely function. Thank you for facing your issue and taking steps to not let it control your life! Love all you do!
I completely understand, I’ve been in a bad place many times before too because of anxiety. It is hard to see a way out when you’re in the worst of it, but there is hope.
You are so inspiring Stephanie! It can be a struggle to get out of a "down" time and sometimes the hardest part is being patient with yourself. What an amazing mom, wife and business owner you are, along with rescuing a lost cat!! Love seeing all you do!
Hi Stephanie, I applaud you for moving on. I seem to be stuck in a rut and very comfortable at home. Tomorrow, I will push myself to walk outside for an hour 🚶🏽♂I also plan to see the Dr next week. Enjoy your beautiful daughters and hubby. Happy Holidays 🎄
Seeing a doctor is a big step. I just saw a talk therapist for years until a triggering event kind of broke me. I went on meds a year ago. It took some time to get the dosage right, but they have been really helpful.
Thank you. It really helps now that I have a reason to leave the house other than to taxi the kids around. The part-time job is really helping to pull me out of my funk.
Hang in there!!! Id love to hear how the performance went. My duaghter danced competitively fir 8 years and i would not have been able to entertain a hobby diring those years...kudos to you!!!
Love the puppers and the vlog - so glad to see what you're working on, and how you're staging projects while dealing with all the things, not to mention saving a local cat! :)
I love your OWL QUILT, it’s GORGEOUS! I’m so glad to see your video and I really admire you being SO REALISTIC in showing us one of your “Day in the Life” videos and you should definitely do more of these! If I made a video, I would probably still have my pajamas and bathrobe on with my short hair going every which way! I remember when my 3 kiddos were keeping me busy and now they’re all grown up and busy with their children. I have 6 grandkids ranging in age from 2 to 21 years old now! I hope you all have a wonderful time together and you’re able to get some sewing done too! Be kind to yourself and know that SO many people love you sweetheart!! 🥰❤️😘
Thank you very much. And you likely will see some day in the life videos where I am still in pjs and no bra until my "pick up the kids" alarm goes off 😂
I grew up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa! Love your new quilt and the idea of a book about panels. I have so many panels and don’t know what to do with them. You look awesome, by the way! And I love that fabric you are working with for the pillow!
I’ve always liked your channel, I’m sorry your business suffered. If I wasn’t on the other side of the world, I would have bought things from you but sometimes the postage is more than the item 😮
Hi Stephanie. Sending you positive vibes and virtual hugs. I know how hard things can be and I just wanted to let you know how much we look up to and admire you and what you do. It may not seem like it now but it will get better. My stepmother used to say "what a blessing" whenever something would happen, be it bad or good.
Thank you for being real and sharing with us. Not everyday can be a hair and makeup day. Depression is real and some days are just tough. Thank you again fir sharing. You are an amazing woman!
Nice to see you! I’m glad you’re hanging in there and busy. Sometimes when you have lots to do, it can get you back in the swing. Somehow delving into fabric helps! Keep it up. We’re here for you. I’m going to start my Hugs All Around this month! I’m so excited!
I'm exhausted just watching your day and night♥️😂. Your girls are blessed to have you and be learning so many important lessons, like taking the time to rescue the kitten, what a great outcome there. Love your planning and organisational skills. Are you sure you can't fit your gorgeous dog in your suitcase. 😂😂😂 Love it♥️🇭🇲
how great it is to see you smiling! The last video I saw of you was about the business shutting down =( But I'm glad things are looking good for you! God sure has a plan for all of us, even better than what we have planned for ourselves! keep rocking it!!!
I have developed anxiety. It does interfere with my creativity. I did see a social worker for counseling. She was helpful with setting goals and methods to deal with it. Hang in there. Love the owl panel quilt! Love the basset hounds too! I had 2 when I was a child.
I did counseling for several years. Eventually I needed meds to manage it and have done pretty well on them. I'm in between insurance at the moment, so I'm waiting a few more weeks until I can get back into my doctor.
I have to just say how refreshing it is to have a professional here on youtube be a completely real human who has real world issues and lets us viewers into their/our shared realities. We're here and will continue to be with you.
Thank you so much! It is good to know there are so many people rooting for me on here 🥰
I wholeheartedly agree. I am still loving your videos and enjoying getting to know you a little more. You are kicking butt and taking names!
So much strength is demonstrated as you move forward in your journey with work and family. I hope the Nutcracker is a beautiful experience for all of you and especially for your daughter!
Thank you so much. I'm just taking it one day at a time and trying to figure out what's next. My daughter did her first dress rehearsal last night. It was magical 🥰
Thank you for your honesty and keeping it real. Many of us have this at times. The owl quilt is so cute!
Thank you for relating and for agreeing the owl is fabulous!

Good for you Stephanie. I'm with you on the anxiety. Great video. Very relatable.
Thank you so much. Anxiety can be so hard. Meds have helped me a lot.
You are so inspiring Stephanie! It can be a struggle to get out of a "down" time and sometimes the hardest part is being patient with yourself. What an amazing mom, wife and business owner you are, along with rescuing a lost cat!! Love seeing all you do!
Thank you so much! It’s definitely been a hard few months, but I’m feeling much better.
I always have to clean up before starting a new project.
It does make me feel a lot better when I have a clean workspace. :)

I TOTALLY understand what you are saying. I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Hang in there!
Thank you very much. I feel like I'm getting it back together creatively 🥰
Given what you have gone thru - anxiety - depression is to be expected. Be kind to yourself. Small projects that show progress to feed your soul
Thank you. It really helps now that I have a reason to leave the house other than to taxi the kids around. The part-time job is really helping to pull me out of my funk.
Remember this time. My kids are grown and I miss the busy times. Now it's grandkids that make me nuts! Lol. Enjoy your trip
Thank you! It was wonderful to see my daughter on stage!
Hugs Stephanie!!
And OH MY that fabric😍😍😍
Thank you! And yes, both lines are fabulous!
Oh my, you have compressed 36 hrs into your 24 her day..hope you get some rest soon!
LOL that is how most of my days go when I'm feeling like myself.
Hang in there!!! Id love to hear how the performance went. My duaghter danced competitively fir 8 years and i would not have been able to entertain a hobby diring those years...kudos to you!!!
Is the Nutcracker going to be at the Paramount? My granddaughter was on it five years ago in Indiana. Enjoy!
Love the puppers and the vlog - so glad to see what you're working on, and how you're staging projects while dealing with all the things, not to mention saving a local cat! :)
You wore me out watching this video. It used to be my life. Don’t over work yourself & miss out on your kids lives.
Love those fabrics! Hope all of you had a great time in Cedar rapids.
Never mind makeup and hair you look naturally beautiful
Love the doggies. They are a hoot!
Doggies are the best!

There are going to be so many panel ideas, from quilts and home dec to bags and craft projects!
You can probably imagine how many glasses I have around my house and sewing room! It's ridiculous! Hope the ballerina had an amazing time!
She did have an amazing time! She loved being on stage for the first time. My 3-year-old said she was going to do it too someday 🥰
I’ve always liked your channel, I’m sorry your business suffered. If I wasn’t on the other side of the world, I would have bought things from you but sometimes the postage is more than the item 😮
I totally get it. I have a pattern shop in Australia that I love. I always wait until there are several things I want to place an order.

That’s a great way to look at it. Thank you so much.
Thank you for being real and sharing with us. Not everyday can be a hair and makeup day. Depression is real and some days are just tough. Thank you again fir sharing. You are an amazing woman!
Thank you so much. You’re right, sometimes staying in pjs all day is perfectly OK
So glad you are doing better. Your bare faced honesty is truly refreshing.
I agree. I was thinking how beautiful she looks!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I’ve always been self conscious about filming without makeup.
@@QuiltAddictsAnonymous you shouldn’t be. You are beautiful!
Sending you love & prayers
Thank you very much. 🥰
Cleaning and organizing calms me
Cleaning doesn’t do it for me, but organizing does!
Nice to see you! I’m glad you’re hanging in there and busy. Sometimes when you have lots to do, it can get you back in the swing. Somehow delving into fabric helps! Keep it up. We’re here for you. I’m going to start my Hugs All Around this month! I’m so excited!
Thanks. I always do better when I’m too busy to think too much.
I'm exhausted just watching your day and night♥️😂. Your girls are blessed to have you and be learning so many important lessons, like taking the time to rescue the kitten, what a great outcome there. Love your planning and organisational skills. Are you sure you can't fit your gorgeous dog in your suitcase. 😂😂😂 Love it♥️🇭🇲
Lol, I think he could fit, but I’m not sure he would enjoy the ride in the trunk 😂
how great it is to see you smiling! The last video I saw of you was about the business shutting down =( But I'm glad things are looking good for you! God sure has a plan for all of us, even better than what we have planned for ourselves! keep rocking it!!!
Yes He does, I’m not sure what it is right now, but I’m working on figuring that out.
Stephanie you got this
Thank you!
I have developed anxiety. It does interfere with my creativity. I did see a social worker for counseling. She was helpful with setting goals and methods to deal with it. Hang in there. Love the owl panel quilt! Love the basset hounds too! I had 2 when I was a child.
I did counseling for several years. Eventually I needed meds to manage it and have done pretty well on them. I'm in between insurance at the moment, so I'm waiting a few more weeks until I can get back into my doctor.
Owl-ly is so cute
I love it too!
