What a lovely vlog so peaceful and soothing while you chatted. Bread making and doing holiday washing. Chatting in the basement while showing the vegetables. Take care ❤😊

Hello Amber. It was so good to see you again and in a vlog..yay. I 🙏 you are doing well. Psalm 91💞💕💚💕💞

[@alovelyyarn]

Hello! Thanks for watching!

[@EvieO1950]

Found the vlog very enjoyable! Thank you for doing that. You made me miss my Daddy so much cutting up Potatoe’s to plant in the garden. 🥰

[@alovelyyarn]

Awww. Yeah, my dad and I usually cut them up together. I did it myself this year although he came at the very end to see how many we had.

[@krazedvintagemodel]

Good Morning Amber! Your vlog is like a visit with a friend. Plants and animals, food and faith and flowers. Peace and Blessings and good Health to you and yours this early spring. 🌻🧶🪴

[@alovelyyarn]

Awww. Thank you so much.

[@rosemaryeveleigh3562]

I so enjoyed the vlog with you chatting while doing chores. I found it so soothing listening. I was lying on my bed after coming home from a chuch growth group. Take care

[@susansmith3264]

So lovely! Looking forward to the one skein pattern round up!

[@alovelyyarn]

Thank you!

[@mish0111]

So great to see you doing a study with Daily Grace. I too am in the middle of one! Looking forward to your podcast on the one skein projects. I feel like you….some yarn is just too pretty to knit into socks, so here they are month after month stuck in the stash! 😮

[@DanaBarbieri]

Thanks, Amber, for the vlog. Loved it all. Take care and enjoy these amazing spring days. I look forward to the one skein episode and monthly vlogs sound great. Congratulations on being monetized! 🎉❤

[@alovelyyarn]

Hello Dana! Thank you so much!

Really enjoyed your vlog today. Your area looks like it's having a beautiful spring.

[@alovelyyarn]

Hi Sharon! It has been a gorgeous spring! Thank you for watching!

[@Amy_loopsandliterature]

I just love your vlogs, Amber! I love watching other homemakers! Would you ever share your sourdough starter recipe and maybe your process? Your dough always looks so beautiful! ❤

[@alovelyyarn]

Hi Amy! Thank you so much for watching! I can send you a screenshot of my sourdough process. I took notes and can send those to you! Just email me at my [e-mail]

[@erica.cherrytreegirl]

I am loving the Daily Grace studies as well! Currently in my third one...the Malachi study and I bought last year's advent study to do THIS year😁 Thanks for sharing your beautiful day with us!

[@alovelyyarn]

Hi Erica! I do enjoy their studies for a daily study. They aren't fluff, but they are also not overly intensive!

[@erica.cherrytreegirl]

@@alovelyyarn I agree...they have great content!

[@deborahhendricks1492]

I love your blogs, Amber!

Love your vlog - thank you, Amber😊

[@alovelyyarn]

Thank you for watching!

[@luannesmith5350]

Loved your vlog today. I’m glad you’re researching one skein projects because I have a few of those vacation single skeins too and yes, I don’t want to wear them on my feet.

[@alovelyyarn]

Hi Luanne! Stay tuned!

[@KatieMae1229]

Popping in to ask if you’ve ever visited the “Wild & Wooly” knitting & quilting shop in Mount Pleasant, SC. Our family vacationed there last spring and my daughters & I had to stop by when we discovered the shop. Their yarn selection was a unique curation of natural fibers, both hand-dyed and conventionally made, and their own indigo dyed yarns which they create on-site! They have lots of quilting supplies & fabric, which we also couldn’t resist!

[@alovelyyarn]

Hello Katie! Sorry it took so long to respond! That is crazy because every year we go to the Charleston area, I google "yarn shop" and none ever come up besides the big box stores like Michaels and Hobby Lobby. Our friends actually live right in Mount Pleasant so I have no idea how I haven't found this one yet! I will be tucking this away in my memory for next year. Thanks!

[@lshriver104]

Love the vlog. Jealous of the Hardy Boys collection!

[@alovelyyarn]

Wow! You have quite an eye!!! Those were collected from various thrift and consignment stores when my son was younger.

[@debbiedennie255]

GM Amber Yes sun even when cold makes are lives feel so happy 😊 ♥️♥️♥️ your blog this morning and happy to see you back to your bubbly self … the Lord is good to take us out of a bit of darkness and see our beautiful light again !!! That bag was so beautiful and garden will be plentiful ❤ Enjoy your week and hope to see more blogs 🥰

[@alovelyyarn]

Hi Debbie! Thank you so much for watching and saying hello!

[@deniseengel1451]

Thanks for the vlog Amber. Spring and sun makes everything better.

[@alovelyyarn]

Hahaha. I totally agree!

[@FirnMamaMakes]

❤❤❤

[@alovelyyarn]

Thanks for watching!

[@patsycoats4061]

I remember cutting up seed potatoes with my Mom and Dad every Spring and then planting them. Thanks for sharing that.

[@alovelyyarn]

Hi Patsy! I figured that it would cause nostalgia in someone! ❤️

[@karenmiller1665]

Thank you so much for sharing your day with us. I was just thinking about you the other day and was wondering how you made out with your heart monitor. I saw the episode over the winter when you shared your concerns. We had a couple of very busy months and I fell behind on watching videos after the holidays so I’m sure I missed how it turned out. You have been in my prayers. ❤

[@alovelyyarn]

Hi Karen! I shared a little bit about that in my recent regular episodes. I have an implanted heart monitor now that will stay in for 6 years. That way, the doctor can monitor my heart on a continual basis. I am also on a low dose beta blocker which has really helped decrease the amount of arrhythmia I experience! Thank you for your concern and for checking in!

[@helenedujardin3539]

That's so funny, I live in West Ashley, west side of Charleston. We consider the greater Charleston as part of it, we don't make a difference really unless someone asks :) Yes, mosquitoes and flat trails...and great lack of local yarn shops! That's the one is dislike about the city. Lovely blog and lovely family.

[@alovelyyarn]

Hi Helen! Yes, lack of yarn stores! Why???? I wonder that every year when we visit, and I always do a google search to make sure one didn't open. Lol.

[@helenedujardin3539]

@@alovelyyarn I heard on the Knit &Grace podcast that there was a good one in Savannah which is about 2 hours from Charleston. I might take a road trip there soon. It's called The Frayed Knot.

[@Lorraine24_]

Thanks for this most enjoyable vlog Amber😊💞

[@alovelyyarn]

Thank you so much for watching, Lorraine.

[@lisagimblett8646]

Your dinner looked so delicious. I am envious of all of your flowers and trees in bloom. I live in Southern Ontario and Spring is slowly arriving.

[@alovelyyarn]

Thank you, Lisa!

[@neveenjacklin1240]

❤what a great surprise to see your vlog....l too love North Carolina we come down here twice a year spring and fall . Spring is prob my favourite time when everything is coming to life . Have a great week Amber and thanks for the extra post made my day😊

[@alovelyyarn]

Hello! Thank you so much!

[@rhondasmith7127]

Love seeing your blog pop up…😃 so happy to see you’re doing well….Aw yes spring! Finally……love your plant starts and your dinner looked delicious…what was the green? I could tell other egg plant 😜 glad you got a quick get away always fun….blessings ……thank you for sharing so happy you’re back……

[@alovelyyarn]

Hi Rhonda! I marinated the chicken breasts in chimichurri sauce, so the green on the chicken was from the parsley in that! Thank you for watching! Hope you are doing well and getting sunshine as we have been getting!

[@catherinecunningham7126]

I worked at the polls a few times, one time we were there for 36 hours. Our county had over a 75% turn out due to a presidential election and a few education bonds. It was exhausting but fun. Your dinner looked amazing!!! Care to share your recipe for the chicken and eggplant? Pretty please. 🌷🪻🌸🌹🌻

[@alovelyyarn]

Oh my goodness! 36 hours????!!!!! That sounds horrible! Lol

[@lshriver104]

Also, I live about 15 minutes from New River Gorge National Park.

[@alovelyyarn]

Oh cool! It's a beautiful area! We have thought about camping in Summersville, but we're not sure that our older truck has the gumption to pull our camper that far! Lol.

[@knitsandburls2233]

Do you have a recipe for that tasty-looking mid afternoon snack?

[@alovelyyarn]

Hello! Actually, those were a treat I bought at Costco! Heehee.

[@EvieBear236]

Hi Amber. I truly enjoyed your vlog. Just a note; have you become monetized? There were several ads during your vlog. I've heard other podcasters complain that KZbin is putting ads on their videos and the podcasters are not getting paid any revenue from the ads. I'm just wondering if this is happening to you. Thanks for sharing your day with us.♥

[@alovelyyarn]

Hello! Yes, I just got approved for monetization a week ago. I'm still learning how to navigate the ads. On my end, it looks like only one ad is to play mid-video. I hope that is correct. And then, of course, there are always the pre and post ads. I hope they're not too annoying. Thank you for watching!

[@EvieBear236]

@@alovelyyarn Thanks for the reply. They are not that annoying, just didn't want you to be missing out on the revenue if KZbin was placing ads on your videos. Have a good day at the polls.
