Chatting at the crafty table

I'm doing a bit of pegging, do you call it pegging, making a small rug, with teeshirt scraps. Talking about this and that.

[@tmarie7463]

I agree with you about how precious your time is because it does seem to go by so fast. I agree with the saying that the more I'm around people the more I like my dog.

[@dorotapogubila4427]

“ I am free person”. Lets never forget. Thank you Ilona.

[@shirefinds6585]

That lot who are negative and unable to see both sides of the coin are jealous of you Ilona. They cannot see behind the 'curtain' of deceit. I/WE can. My thoughts are very similar to yours and on the odd occasion I get treated like I've no idea what I'm talking about! One has to feel for these people who are NOT AWAKE. You keep up the brilliant dialogue Ilona - freedom of speech is so important for our well being. 💚

[@lizzyk4641]

Good on you Ilona. I'm with you 100% 👍🌹

[@mimi1o8]

You are the neighbor , I would love to have. It’s funny, how easily can people get upset 😂

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

People are very fragile at the moment. Put the kettle on, I'll be round for a coffee.

[@wildrose4590]

Thank you very much for your wonderful videos. Refreshing . I pray people will wake up.❤

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

So do I, but if they want to sleep we should let them.

[@anneosullivan4107]

As we say in Ireland Ilona... "let them all go bog off" 😂. You're doing nothing wrong!! 👍

[@shirleywormald3197]

Well done,you do your own thing ilona,I’m with you all the way,I’ve decided no more jabs for me,too much fear mongering going on,thanks for the chat,and the memories,my lovely nanna made rag rugs,always had one in her little kitchen 😊

I very much enjoy hearing what you have to say about things from small to large. You have very good common sense !

[@rosannajohnson6191]

I’m so glad that I found you again. I enjoy listening to you and watching what you’re doing. I think you’re living a very wonderful life. You’re not wasting time and you’re enjoying yourself. Keep it up.

I enjoy your videos! Don't let the bad comments bother you..erase them!😊 from a 77 year old great grandma from Michigan.😊

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

Thank you bonnie. The comments have been quite hurtful. Of course I delete them, and carry on.

Love your strength and determination Ilona 🇦🇺👍🏻🇦🇺

[@leilarhymeswithsheila1344]

Thank goodness for you, MQ! I’m going to make a rag rug as well.

[@rosenamarshall5502]

I’m the same I will not comply . I lost my job in a care home last time round because I would not take the poison . I was 65. I was 8 months till retirement . I had to then look for another job at that age I had no income so had to jump through hoops at the job centre . I found another job that took me the 8 months then I retired . I regret nothing . Got a txt msg from Drs last week saying they are pleased to invite me for the flu/ covid jab they can 🤬 off .

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

I am glad that you got a job and were able to finish your working life. I am waiting to see if I get any communications from my doctors surgery. I ignored them all last time, so maybe they will give up on me.

Bravo Illona 👏 well said as always. ❤

Totally agree with you Ilona! We have a right for our own opinions! Stay blessed! 🙏💕

[@elisabethkalkman]

I love your voice, your mind! It is all about respect.

[@lindacleveland1289]

Aah the Raggy rugs Ilona my mum made many a rug this way from old clothing and sacking . A bit of luxury to push your toes into of a morning beside the bed before stepping on to that cold Linoleum , takes me back . Stuff the naysayers I say 😘🌹

I love the rag rug idea !

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

I have made two big ones. They take such a long time, so this one is going to be a bit smaller. I just want to use up the fabric that I already have.

[@dmaria-gf6pn]

I think you're amazing x

[@jillbailey1837]

I agree 100% !

[@fairplaynowTim]

Well said Ilona, we should never be afraid to be ourselves and express the views we have. Anyone who doesn’t like that can just…well, you know what. Looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks in the Midlands if you’re still going.

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

Hello Tim. It's on the calendar. It might clash with something else I am doing, but I might be able to jiggle things around a bit.

Hi Ilona I am from Newcastle upon Tyne and these mats were very much in service in my families homes many years ago. They were known as Proggy Mats up quite a nice name I think. Thanks for all your vids. Mary

I remember my mum making them.

I call it rag rugging Ilona but there are loads of names for it! Depends if you're prodding or pulling I guess! I appreciate the real you Ilona. Looking forward to seeing the rug when it is finished. 😊

[@MiLittleCorner]

Your rug hooking project will be fabulous. You have an eye for putting colors together and I hope you'll show us when it's completed.

[@helenb6936]

Lovely to hear from you again ilona...😊🌻

[@lauraslilhomestead9208]

Love the rug idea . Your thoughts are similar to many - ignore the trolls !!

[@MaximusMatthews_123.]

I think we need more people like you to share what you think im with you on what is going on today in thw world to m e personally i believe there is something not right in the world other wise they would not try and shut people down i really miss the days of real free speech also you have been great helping with giving ideas on differant projects and actually encouraging me to go out more as beinf retired can be a whole new territory so i thankyou x

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

I like to help people that is my nature. The only reason I talk about the current situation is because when you know that there is something not right, and you work out the reason for everything, and you know what the end game is, that makes everything clear, and you can get on with your life.

[@gwenadair847]

My grandparents used to do this craft. They called it rag rug making. I love listening to you Llona. Your talks have helped me so much. You are one in a million xx❤

[@christinehowells5845]

Well said lliona I'm with you

[@kitbenson8078]

We're best not responding to negativity or validating the stupidity of those who are too lazy to do their own research. The truth is out there, if they take the trouble to look for it.

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

I have tried to help people by passing information on. In the beginning there was no opportunity to make an informed choice. Now there is enough information out there for anyone to take the time to look for it. Anyone who has access to the internet can search for anything they are interested in, but as you say, a lot of people want someone else to do the leg work for them.

That is a very fine thing to say; you concentrate on your life, and I will consentrate on mine😎

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

If everyone had followed that from the start, and taken responsibility for their own life, there would never have been such conflict as there is today. The blame culture is rife, always someone else's fault.

[@christinenightingale2528]

Oh Illona. I find most people intolerable. You carry on doing your videos and casting your opinions. Most of us tune in because we like you and your videos. I find rude and disrespectful people are always short of something to do! 😊

[@suelutz5364]

I used to make hooked rugs, but I always had a pattern to follow. I'm learning to be more random and free with my art.

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

Go with the flow, make it up as you go along. I cut my piece of canvas to the size which might use up all the scrap teeshirts I have. When I get to the outer edges and I have no scraps left that's the end.

[@suelutz5364]

@meanqueensuperscrimper8908 I love it! My thing now is paper crafting. Learning that everything doesn't have to be perfectly measured and straight edged! Very freeing.

I think making small ones, for seat covers on my dining room chairs could be sooo cute and not too time consuming best wishes From Oregon

We all have our own opinions and nobody should tell us what to believe, we are free to believe in whatever we want. If you find like minded people then it’s lovely to have conversations and discussions with them, but it would be boring if we all did the same things and had the same thoughts. I go my own merry little way quite happy with what I believe, but I must admit it is nice to have conversations with like minded people, you can exist with people who think differently from yourselves but they always think their right!!! 🙂 but we know differently 🤣🤣🤣

We all have our own views on what is going on, I respect that others might not agree with me, unfortunately the same people can’t agree that my views are different to theirs, which is all done by design to separate us, and off course some people would disagree with that statement, lots of people bury their heads in the sand because it makes them feel comfortable it takes real strength of character to meet things head on.

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

True. People will continue to deny anything untoward is going on because it puts their safe space in danger of being turned upside down. They want to stay in their little world. Understandable.
