I’m sitting here putting the last row on a shawl while we chat. I buried my only sister yesterday. She was 77 years old. That is the second sibling I’ve lost in the past three years. My oldest brother passed away in 2020.😢 I miss her so much, but her health was failing her dramatically over the past few months. It hurt me to see her in pain, and I know where she is. She was greeted by her Lord, then by her husband. ❤ keep me in your prayers if you will.
Kayla, you cracked me up, blessypir heart.. as you went on to say you chopped off the fingers on the barbie, I wasn't even thinking she be like you, when you came out and said it...😂😂😂.. I couldn't believe you. But got me laughing, not in a bad way. We love you, and your companion and stories. If I could I will bring a home made cake for big daddy...I wishwr all can get together to celebrate his life...he is one kind of man. Bless you both.❤
I’m going to work on my second daughters afghan and do some shopping and work on my granddaughters crochet doll ❤❤ happy birthda to your husband talk during the week
You both could use a change of scenery....get your boys to help you plan to rent a cabin, go fishing, have a picnic....mama can crochet!. Of course if your summer weather cooperates and cools down a bit. I know you'll think of something good.❤️
Sharon here.... it's Big Daddy's double nickel birthday! Yes he does deserve a special day, I'm sure you and the boys will make it a fantastic one! What is his most favorite thing to do, make a theme cake of it, Dakota can create it. Elijah can create something artful in relationship and you Kayla can be your lovely self and bring love and joy to his special day. Coins, history...... 🙄❤👍
I think a train 🚂 ride would be great fun for his birthday! Maybe look up some train 🚂 rides for the day somewhere near you and sometimes they have a theme for that day that are fun and they have food and drinks! Would be great fun and great memories and videos and pictures! I bet he would absolutely be so excited and would have never guessed his birthday surprise!❤
Once a homeschool teacher always an educator. Sweetheart I have to tell you had created a monster. You taught me to make a granny square bag and then the frog bag. I now am finishing a shark with pink fins and tail and a baseball bags for two granddaughters
Hi Kaylala, I would wash that dress for the doll by hand and let it lay on a towel to dry so it doesn't fall apart. Especially if it's a newer make, the seam allowance is so tiny, it has trouble staying together. Art idea....if you can get some nice clean scraps of plywood is best, if you know anyone who might have some left overs, they might give for free. Then you get the various colors of corn, red, yellow, multi colored, grey, etc , an small bag of dried split peas, some dried kidney beans, etc.. seed work good too. They draw a picture on the plywood. They take a thin bead of Elmer's glue, and then place the corn, seeds, beans, etc. And stick them one at a time to get the look they want.❤❤❤😊
I'm taking a full cake of Mandala and turning it into granny squares to kill more time til I get my glasses in the mail before I crochet a Christmas blanket then knit a Christmas blanket. I wish I could help you with a lovely gift for Big Daddy, but all I can think of with how much he helps you out, is saying Thank you with a big hug and kiss. With that much support and love he gives a gift is truly hard to think of that would be perfect.
Laura here from the Dallas suburbs, it has been triple digits for so long ... today got up to 97 then dropped to 81 with our first rain since July 16. My birthday is this month too, on the 8th. Take Big Daddy to an arcade with the boys, go on a train ride, to a museum. Whatever he wants , he will be happy to spend time with you and his sons. Love the yarn dress, beautiful colors.
Enjoyed hearing about the tutoring you’re doing with the neighbor kids. You are creating some great memories for them. QUESTION: Have you and Big Daddy decided how you will sell the coffee mugs yet? I pray your upcoming appointments will go well. 🙏✝️ ❤-Brenda
For me, the pain pump has been absolutely the right decision! Ask many questions. Some you have control to give yourself an extra little bit when your feeling pain. They have come a long way with the technology in the last few years. Hopefully you will find what works best for you soon!
Good afternoon Kayla. Infusions they try me on it once then an hour and a half into it I got an asthma attack. They had to stop it. They took me for a cat scan and my lungs had magically cleared up. Like you I have an autoimmune disease called Anca Vasculities I also have Vitiligo. I will pray for you . I love to see you smiling. It’s so good to see you. Happy birthday to Big Daddy.
I bet you are having so much fun helping your neighbor kids and I'm sure its exhausting to kids can wear you out they have so much energy and they have a crazy imagination thank you for sharing
God Bless you for helping these kids,I Love little dogs, But these kids theses days are so disrespectful these days, I have absolutely No Patience for kids, I would rather have a house full of dogs, than kids any day, There was a Survey online that the Majority of Men don’t want kids, and end up leaving their wives, because of trouble that kid bring to Marriage, yes we live in a sad World 🌍, I admire you for your Love of kids,
Your dress for your doll is a beautiful color, love it! It’s super that your helping your neighbor children get ready for fair entries! Your a God send Kayla, you know they appreciate you! I saw some of your dolls in their posses on Instagram, so adorable, loved them! I sure hope the trial run goes well. We had a couple of nice days with less humidity but, the humidity came back yesterday, ugh! I can only imagine how hot it is there! You have a wonderful evening! ❤🤗
I bet the kids are really enjoying their time with you!!!🤗 The doll dress is looking really nice! Do you have any type of dinner cruises by you? I enjoyed the trips to the thrift shops. I see Big Daddy got a new truck🤗 It was so nice to see sweet Phoebe 🥰 Wishing you both a beautiful blessed weekend!!!🤗💖🙏🏻💛🌻🦆
It was so wonderful to hang out with you, I have been thinking about you and hoping that everything is okay. I love that you are helping the neighbor children, special times they will remember. My birthday is this month as well mine is the 22nd, I will be 56. I love your yarn color, so beautiful. I really like your Barbie dress.
Hi Kayla! It's so sweet of you to help the kids with Fair Entries! The doll dress is pretty some bright colors! I am trying to stay cool we have hit some record highs and we aren't use to 100!! Keep cool there and take good care!😊
Nice store, I love the stuffies, I get them and wash and repurpose for sick people around. Who doesn’t love a cute bear with a bow, especially nursing home residents.
Hi Kayla. The dolls dress is coming along nicely. River does sound like a handful. I'm sure he keeps his mom on her toes. I'm actually finishing up some items for my cruise in a few weeks. 😊
Glad you are back today. I should have known you were going good things. I think that we as your subscribers sometimes forget that you have a real life.
Hi Kayla. I share your hubby's birthday. Turning 51 and I am so grateful! Lol..asked for the wool jeanie as a present! Maybe somewhere he wants to visit? I love daytrips. Pack a picnic type lunch.
I was snapping beans from our garden watching your video. It has been incredibly hot in Alabama as well. Most of our crops did not do well, but we have beans! I have been making hats for our pregnancy support center and working on a blanket for my youngest, who is 5. I have an 11 year old, twins who turn 9 this month, a 7 year old and a 5 year old. Yes, Zeke's mom is probably doing mom things when they come.
I just finished a Log Cabin Afghan. I have a pocket shawl to sew pockets on and a few fringes to put on it. Oh those children are so lucky to have you help them to enter things in the fair. Please show us their finished art and hats.
Glad to see you back online. Poor Phoebe just needs her Momma time & doesn’t want to share with Sassy. OMG River sounds like a hoot & a half! Laughed out loud on his watercolor subject. Your doll dress is coming along beautifully! I’ve been wanting to work on a couple projects, but keep ending up frogging them as they aren’t doing it for me. I understand about the well loved but not vintage Barbie’s. I was in a group project years ago where we each did some work on the doll and passed it on to the next in the group. Hubby & I were traveling and I wanted to work on my doll. So I had her head off and was yanking out her hair. Let me tell you the looks I received from cars passing us was priceless. Some were horrified😂😂😂 I’ve done a lot of manipulation with the dolls where I even turned one into a centaur. It was a whole lot of fun. I’ve also remade dolls to look like friends to commemorate certain occasions, like graduation, etc. including redoing the box with their name in the Barbie font. That was a ton of fun to do too. Haven’t been motivated to do any in quite a while. But while doing them they were a blast. Happy Birthday to Big Daddy! I hope you figure out what you’d like to do for him. You know he does for you daily because he loves you! Take care and I pray you experience more good days than bad. Cheers from FL😺
Hi Kayla! I enjoyed spending time with you today as always. You cracked me up when you talked about chopping parts off of the Barbie 😂 Hey, I’d like to know more about what you’re gonna do artistically with the Weird Barbies. I was recently given an old bin from my childhood that was being stored for me by my sister. I found a couple of very messed up weird Barbies (+ 45 year old big baby dolls…) and I’m not sure what to do with them! You’re our art teacher too 🥰 I hope you have a restful and comfortable day sweetheart. ✌️💖🧶
You could do a dinner cruise? Many lakes in Texas have a dinner cruise where they serve or you bring your own food/ drink and cruise the lake at night. We’ve done this in Texas and Mississippi.
Did nothing special on Sunday, took a break on crocheting due to my wrist and thumb hurting so badly. I started to paint my Halloween decorations that my husband bought for me.
Ouch! Those bone fragments sound awfully painful up against the dentures! I hope & pray it will improve soon, Kayla! Very kind of you teaching the children art. I'm sure their mom really appreciates the homeschooling in art you're doing with them. I hope they really enjoy entering their FOs proudly into the fair! Thrift stores are dangerous for me as I'd come out with pretty teapots!! I haven't been in one for years, so it was fun looking through yours! 🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨
Oh what fun, crafting with the kiddos. They might do well at making a wreath for Fall/Thanksgiving or Winter/Christmas. Loving the doll dress, so cute. I am working on a stitch sampler blanket from Pamela's Adoring Crochet, I'm making the last square and then connecting the squares and then I will need to finally come up with the border. Hard for me to decide on a border. You might see if you and the boys can find that one thing Jody has been wanting to have in his Den but has put off buying it for himself and have his favorite food catered in. God bless, be safe and get well.
Love the doll dress, it reminds me of dresses my grandmother crocheted for a small doll she gave to me. Have you thought of crocheting hair for the Barbies? Maybe curly-cues like you did for the mermaid? I for one wouldn't mind if you posted your dolls and toys here or on the Facebook page!
I haven’t used Big Twist yarn yet, but I liked the one you used to make the dolls dress. It looks a lot like the Premiere fruit stripe yarn in Pink Grapefruit except the colors are a bit brighter. I’m working on another virus shawl in a turquoise and grey colorway that I just love. I’m praying you get rid of all those awful bone spurs so you can wear your dentures and be comfortable, God bless.
Kayla…I hope the bone fragments get better soon. Thank you for the idea of using the whiteboard for teaching. I will be using that idea for use with our neighbor kids as well.😊
That dress is very pretty. Nice colors. I’m restocking for my next market. I sold my bee but I didn’t write the pattern well so I’m trying to recreate that pattern. But the baby who now has my original bee has a one of a kind from me😊. Get with the boys and see if you can do a party for him. Whatever you do, that man is super good and Ned’s to have a fantastic birthday!
Oh my!!😀😀 What a strange yet funny request from that young boy!! You are so very kind to help them along with their art skills though. I just finished another bucket hat. Made it from Premier anti pilling everyday medley (blue note). Sometime later today I plan to go back to start on the sleeves for my Granny stitch top (Cinnamon Stitches pattern) Glad you're feeling a little better. God Bless💕
Great to see you kayla! You should have been a teacher!. Bless you!. It's great what you are doing for the kids. Can I just say wow! Those beautiful colours of the dolls dress u are making. I'm just crocheting granny squares to use up scraps of yarn. We are busy this week doing school runs.the holidays have gone way too fast!. Big daddy needs to do something special for his birthday!, bless him. Something he enjoys doing. Lots of love mandy from united Kingdom 🇬🇧 xxx 😊
Sending love and big hugs I'm celebrating my birthday 🎂 today. Love the dress you're making 😍 Love the chit chat to hear what you've been doing/ going to be doing. I need to work on my WIP. A small c2c afghan for my chihuahua. 🎉Happy birthday Big Daddy
Hi Kayla how are you doing today iam doing fine today your doll dress are very beautiful colors and very beautiful work iam working on hats and scarfs stay safe ❤❤❤
This is the worst el nin~o year I ever remember. Here in Minnesota we've broke heat records all summer. Yesterday was 100° in Red Wing Minnesota. Otherwise Id suggest you take a Vacation to Minnesota but won't do you much good this year.❤❤❤😊
So happy to hear from you. Your doll dress is so pretty. Working on granny squares for boggy creek blankets and also working on the stained glass blanket for boggy creek. Nice of you to do art work with the kids.
Hi Kayla. I fell asleep while this video was playing (been sick). So, rewatched. It's great that the kids have you to help with their art. For someone whose own kids are now adults, it is a huge undertaking having 4 to work with even if they are great kids. It's because you haven't done it in years, you're now older and your health issues I'm sure wears you out. The kids are great for you as you are great for them. They will forever remember you. River does sound like a hoot. Sorry you also felt under the weather. It's never easy. Glad you are back as we've missed you and worried about you. Your doll's dress is pretty. Hi Phoebe! Take care.
I'm making a dress for my great granddaughter, she's almost 2. it's a bag o day pattern. Love your dress, the color is beautiful. Glad you're feeling better.♥♥♥
Hi Kayla praying for you, I have crocheting a blanket for a preschooler in reds and browns to go with the book Teddybears picnic. :I put stuffed Teddy Bear with the book and blanket have a blessed day❤
I'm making water bottle holders. But now I'm going to go to JoAnn to get some of that yarn you're using. That is just absolutely gorgeous worked up. I'm sure the kids are enjoying you just as much. Big Daddy is a Virgo like me, I knew I liked him for a reason 😂😂 I think we should send him his favorite snacks and stuff in happy mail. You'll have to let us know what he enjoys.
Hi kayla I'm watching this video on Monday, but yesterday was my and my husband anniversary, but he was working so where going out on Tuesday to do something. But right now I'm working on a cross stitch project and also crocheting and halloween project. Thank you for the video, take care and have a wonderful week 😊
