Great to see you. So disappointing when a project doesn’t turn out. Colour is perfect. Fabric looks challenging.

Ive been feeling very down lately. I found your videos. Have been spending time enjoying them. Watching what you make. Im in ohio. Where are you?

You make the cutest sweatshirts. That fall one is so cute.

I love that paris print.

Jen and carole are your sisters? Cool ! Sisters who sew

Imperfections sometimes make the best garments

New here. I love the shirt you made

Been wondering where you've been? I'm watching this on December 20,2024. I pray everything is okay. Miss seeing you. I hope your absence is due to your moving or building your home in Tennessee.

I've had shingles twice it is horrible - I hope you feel better soon

Glad you are feeling better and hope your recovery continues until shingles are just a very bad memory!

I’m so sorry you had Shingles. That’s a good reason for children to be vaccinated so they don’t get Chickenpox Pox. I hope you complete your healing soon and are back to good health very soon.

Missed you girl. I had my first shingles shot 17 years ago and then a booster in between. Mt dil is a nurs and she asked me when I turned 60 if I had had my shingles shot. I thought shingles was what kids got with malnutrition. After 60 you need a shot if you never had chicken pox. We'll, who can remember that? So sorry you had that. Glad you're on the mend. Love from New Mexico.

So glad to hear you are feeling better. Where did u get the Christmas fabric for the stockings?

My husband had them recently. If you get them get the mouse for chicken pox. It number the surface area and helps quite a bit

I got the vaccine and now I have ‘reaccurring shingles. Gave up trying to keep count of my epiodes. Hope you are truly over them

Aw Trish, I’m so sorry that you’ve been so poorly. Shingles is horrible so I’m glad you’re getting through it. Absolutely agree about dialling down the Christmas gifts. We all have so much stuff! 😱. We’ve really reduced our Christmas gifts for a few years now. Friends and I usually meet up instead and have a nice lunch and a catch up in the new year. Creating memories. Take care of yourself. Hopefully you’ll be 100% well very soon. 🤗🤗

Cute, cute, cute stockings! I am SO glad you're feeling better. I am praying for good as new. Sewing will wait. And such pretty fabrics you have - I'm looking forward to fall sewing. Love you -

My husband has had singles for 2 months now, very painful, so sorry,,

Oh Trish I'm so sorry you're going through shingles. I don't know if you've ever used a chiropractor but they can really help shingles recovery. Often the nerve is miss aligned or under pressure and relieving that compression can allow the nerve to calm down. Shingles are caused by a reactivation of the chicken pox virus in the affected nerve. Hope this explanation makes sense. Also increased emotional stress can trigger shingles. Good luck, I've missed you and I pray you are better soon!

So good to see you doing better. Love to you ❤

Sorry to hear you had shingles. I know several people that have suffered thru it and I know it's horrible. I did have he vaccine, and fingers crossed I don't get it. Your stockings are so cute and functional. I agree about not needing presents. Great to see you back!

I hope you continue to feel better. I have heard shingles are very painful, and I’m guilty of procrastinating on getting the vaccine. I need to do it. 🤦‍♀️

Oh no please take care glad that things are improving ❤😊

So glad to hear that you're doing better these days. I've known a few other people who have suffered through shingles and they say it's an absolutely horrible, painful experience. I can only imagine. As far as Christmas goes for us, we meet up with family members for a nice Christmas dinner out somewhere a few days before Christmas; we decided a few years ago that there would be no gift exchange. We all have more than everything that we need or want so we just get together and enjoy the day. Take care now!

I have been missing you. I am so sorry about the shingles. I watched my Mother in law go through that and I saw so much suffering. Prayers for a return to god health.🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️

So lovely to see you back! So horrible to hear what you’ve been through, I’m so glad you are on the mend, shingles is no joke!

So thankful you’re on the mend! Sounds like Toots took good care of you! Those stockings are so fun! We draw names in my family! Totally agree with you about too much “stuff”! Can’t wait to see you soon! Love you! 😘💗

So good to see you and so sorry to hear about your shingles- just glad you are finally on the road to recovery. Love the stockings - a really practical size. Agree totally re Xmas gifting- much better to give to those in need. Made me laugh with the fabric buying though!!😂😂. We are all guilty of that even when not poorly!!! Happy sewing😊. Lynne

I'm so sorry to hear about your shingles. I know it's just awful :( Cute stockings, and very nice family Christmas gift plans. So nice to see you here! Hope you're fully recovered before you travel!

The stockings are so cute. I’m very sorry to hear about your dealings with shingles. I haven’t done anything in my sewing room either since late October. I was diagnosed October 28, with gallbladder and bile duct cancer. Needless to say I haven’t been able to handle anything emotionally or mentally. I did get back in my sewing room yesterday to tidy it up and today I started working on a skirt pattern. I know what you mean about looking forward to the sewing videos. They gave me mind break from the cancer. I’m going to sew as much as I can until things start up. I have a procedure coming up soon and probably a very extensive surgery. I actually feel very good right now so I’m just trying to exercise and walk to build my self up.

Those are some big stockings!

I’m so sorry about the shingles. It is beyond painful. I haven’t had it but dealt with it when our then 9 year old daughter had them. She always does the rare stuff.

That's terrible that you got shingles. I had shingles and it is no joke. I got the vaccine last year and will be getting one this year. Hope you feel better soon. Take care. Colleen

YAY!!! You're back! Thought you had taken a long real estate trip to TN. So very, very sad to hear that you came down with shingles. Poor thing!!!! I've heard it was a very nasty disease, but had NO idea until hearing your painful description (child birth for a month) of it. Got my shingles vaccination within the last year. It was free, so why not? Glad that you're now on the mend. Would still like to meet you for lunch at Grills whenever you're up for it. Please IG me when you've got a hankering for seafood and we'll meet up. At some point, I plan to check out The Sewing Studio in Maitland based on your and Jen's talking about it and if you'd like to go with me, all the better! JoAnn's in Melbourne is a hot mess of a store and other than Hobby Lobby, there's just isn't anywhere else to go for garment fabric, at least I haven't found anywhere. So glad you're back!!! 💜 Dori

So happy to see you in my feed today! Shingles sound horrible - I haven’t gotten a vaccine yet, but now I think I will!! Love the stockings and think they are a brilliant idea. I’m also cutting back on all the gift giving and making this year. I just want to focus on enjoying the season and the people around me. Xx

Love seeing your video today!! ❤. Those are fabulous stockings, love the trim 👏🏼and what a wonderful idea to scale it back and just fill those for family. I think everyone is realising just how 'over the top' Christmas has become. I'll fly over and sew up some of your fabric, name the date 😂 🧵. Can't wait to see that quilt finished ❤ Hope everyone gets the vaccine that can after your warning (that made me laugh so hard 🤣)sadly not available for us yet unless we pay a fortune! So great to see you and you do look better. Love you lots ❤❤

I got the Shingrex vaccine. My late mother had shingles and it was horrible. LISTEN TO TRISH.GET THE SHOT.

Awe Trish. So sorry to hear about your shingles. I had one of the older, single dose shingles vaccine. Since then, the two dose one has come out. It's hard to get a definitive answer on whether I need the new one or not. I should just bite the bullet and get it. Our family is not overly large, but we decided to cut the extended family kids off once they turned 18. It can get to be too much. I try to stick to a small budget. 🥰 Bernadette

Nice to have you back! You poor Dear 🤗 A few years back i had volunteered for a big project (that I couldn't back out of) .. then my recently widowed Mom did a surprise visit on me ... she, understandably needed a lot of attention.. So between husband, home, mother, and volunteering... I ended up with shingles! It was .. well..as you described! I feel your pain! Hope you continue to feel better and better!

Sorry about the shingles.. . I agree about gifts.. its is getting to be too much ... Great idea about stockings

Sorry to hear of your discomfort….hope it improves…..yes I am vaccinated for shingles..😊🇦🇺

Glad you’re doing better!!!

Very fun

Cute dresses.

I hope and pray you and your family are safe during Hurricane Milton ❤️

What a GO Nails Trish?? Where can I get them? I still love your blouse even though the fabric wasn't ideal. 🥰

Hi! I haven’t seen you in awhile; love you finds. I’ve been going to gym for 30-45 min three days per week. Most aerobics exercise: peddlers, bikes, and treadmill. It’s been 4 months and I’m just seeing the difference. Muscle tightening and my weight is gradually decreasing! Keep going! You can do this😊

The vest you have on is beautiful!

Keep up your workout schedule. Exercise builds muscle and tones the body. You'll see reduction when you measure yourself not necessarily on the scale.

I lie, lie, lie all the time.
