Thanks for the video, recently got diagnosed and felt hopeless at the begining but now i feel less alone

Hi! Thank you for sharing. 2023 definitely sounded tough. So happy Kristopher is with you helping you get through all of the "life" things. Keiko and I hope you two have a GREAT 2024! We also enjoy watching your videos and seeing your projects and hearing about your trips. This last trip to Florida - oh dear. Freaky weather indeed! {{HUGS}} to you and Kristopher and your kitties!

DMC Threads here in the Philippines is so very expensive now. Before, way back 2008 the price is 10php. Now is 25php so some of my cross stitch projects, I used CXC threads, before is 8php now is 12php. Soon, I will try this Royal Broiderie threads.

Well, i do not wear my sewing thread. It is on my needle. I have bought these threads for many, many years. They are all excellent. Polyester which is what cxc is blended with, was produced specifically to guard against fading. Royalbroderie is pure cotton. It will fade at tge same rate as dmc

Losing a grandparent is so hard and sounds like your grandpa was an amazing man. I'm sorry for your loss. Please take care as you move forward through your grief <3

We support you❤❤

{{Hugs}} Vlog #s are great for referring us to a previous video.

I'm sorry for your loss. I hate that we have to go through this, but you're right, we still have to look forward to life after something like this happens, and I'm glad that you're thinking about all the things you love about your life. For the vlogs, my suggestion is that you name them the way you're doing now. Thank you for sharing!

I'm so sorry that your beloved grandfather passed away. My sincere condolences.🙏🏻 Your memories about him are so kind. He must have been an incredible man. I know for sure you'll find a job real soon. You are such a capable employee. Every business should be very happy when you're working for them! I'm praying for you! Big hug and lots of love!❤

Good morning, it was nice to have my morning coffee with you, but I am so very sorry you lost your job again. I believe everything will work out in the end. You are so talented I am sure your dream job is just around the corner.

I am so sorry this happened, it’s so upsetting. I really hope you find your dream job soon. Hugs my friend😘

I understand about you having to borrow spoons to get through days, and having to push yourself when you don't. But I just love those rest days when they come around, so I get it.

Wowzers, you have been through lots again! So, so glad that things have worked out so well! Can't wait to see what you come up with next. Things have also been quite stressful with my family and has even caused enough stress for one member of the family to have panic attacks and heart palpitations and I have felt enough stress that it started messing with some of my meds.... But I always have to remind myself that it will pass and I will come through the other side like I always have.😊

Love the Bird cross stitch! And excited to see how the Butterflies will turn out. Your videos always makes me smile. I'm so glad your back to vloging! Keep smiling and get plenty of rest!

Yaaay...vlogging is back!

Welcome back, so glad to see that you feel all this happiness right now❤

So glad to see you back!

So glad everything has worked out for the best with your career. Glad to see you back vlogging

Hello Marika. Great to have you back! I totally get that I am either inspired to create or not (at times) I never met a craft that I didn't like and it can be a challenge to fit everything in. I was using some of the sentiments by you and decided to check in on you. I am pleasantly surprised that you are loading content again. I must admit that I will miss your Copic coloring and the cute critters you created but I look forward to your pursuits and I am excited about your improving health. Stay well. ❤❤❤

Going to try this thank you for sharing

Love the bag. Think it’s perfect

Can’t wait to see your new room when it’s done

Have you listened to Flora Cash?

Hei hei 😊 I love your spice mix and I will definitely try it! I make my own coffee spices which are Cacao powder, Cinnamon and Vanilla powder amd it makes the coffee delicious! Xoxo Olga 😘 ❤️

Hi and welcome back! Nice to see you are better! I feel you when it comes to cardmaking, I too fell out of love with it because the community has changed so much! I make cards for family and friends nowadays because as you say i have so much inspiration. But in 2020 I fell in love with the Zentangle method and with drawing on my tablet so I really love my new hobbies 🥰 looking forward for your vlogmas videos! Xoxo Olga 😘 ❤️

Welcome back I’m glad to see you back on this channel or your new channel and I don’t blame you. You need to stay safe in your travels but I do look forward to seeing you. Hugs.

welcome back!!! i have missed you!! I hope you are doing well and happy!!!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I had a hysterectomy in August 2022, and now experiencing a lot intestinal pain. I had IBS before the Hysterectomy. Did it get better for you.

Anxiety absolutely goes away. I suggest getting your mineral levels checked. Magnesium, potassium are just 2 of many markers that can cause anxiety when deficient. I suffered horrific anxiety in 2018. My Doctor sent me for a full blood panel. I was severely deficient in magnesium and iron and my sodium/potassium levels were off. I completely changed my diet and within 6 months - I was back to normal. Since then, I have met 100’s of people that were the same or worse than I was. They reversed it as well. Most people only check BP, blood sugars, cholesterol and triglycerides. Get your mineral levels checked yearly as well. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤️

Another very bold example would be the myopia (nearsightedness) epidemic. Myopia is merely a muscle spasm caused by near work, which is then further aggravated by the use of minus lenses as they move the world closer optically - causing more myopia and eventually structural damage , etc, and the fact that by relaxing the muscle (plus lenses for reading, print pushing, etc) you could very slowly reverse it if it is mild. The mainstream hides this information and there are just a minority second-opinion professionals who try to change the industry and actually help their patients in this process. *This is all scientifically proven and has been for over 50 years.

Thank you so much for your honesty. I am scheduled for a hysterectomy and never wanted children, but was extremely surprised how emotional I am that I would lose the choice. I have been super sensitive and had days where I just stayed home and sobbed my eyes out. Thank you so so much for your video x

Were you barefooted or socks in the hospital bed

its awesome how dr akpamu herbal medication cured me off hsv2 permanently i now live free and happy now all thanks to dr.akpamu the great herbal doctor.

hi i have had these since 2011 and i was wondering if we could perhaps talk about it a bit? im not sure how to message anyone on this thing lol

Thank you for sharing! I needed to see/hear what you had to say. I'm so grateful to have stumbled across this video. I hope you are doing much better than you were when filming this. I imagine you will never be free of some sort of medical issue with so many overlapping problems. I 100% understand that as I have similar issues. Thank you again.💜

I'm so sorry that you have gotten COVID. I hope that it remains a mild case for the two of you. Thank you for sharing such valuable information with us. If I could be granted one wish, it would be that more people would wear a mask. I teach and even when our school mask mandate was lifted, I continue to wear a mask. I also wear one when I'm out in public. Many people give me bad looks but I just let it go. I don't think they understand that I wear the mask for their protection. Sending you well wishes!!

Oh no, I'm sorry it git you. I hope it stays mild and you recover quickly! I think we will all get it eventually. It seems like so many people I know have it right now😷

Glad your ok you and K
