This video most definitely added JOY into my day today!! My husband asked what I was grinning so much about when I was watching it!☺

[@JeriBellini]

That is awesome! I'm SO GLAD to hear this! 💜💜💜

@@JeriBellini I’m doing ok a lot has happened. My husband passed away in 2020 from Covid hate that haven’t crafted in ages . What’s going on with you?

[@JeriBellini]

@@donnal.hanrahan2824 I do remember hearing about your husband, I'm so sorry. I'm glad you popped on over here, maybe we will get you going again. Creativity does heal the soul and so does having a community to lean on. So glad you stopped by! 🩷 🤗

[@bettytaylor707]

Love the circle patch project ! Would like to hear mire about it.

[@JeriBellini]

Have been noodling it and will come up with something. Thank you! 🩷

[@mooman351]

I love the bag a tutorial or further info would be lovely pls

[@JeriBellini]

It's such a FUN bag, I will work on a tut for it! Have a great nite! 🩷

[@randomjournalbitsdawnboss]

I love that you chose the word “commitment” and I agree that in order to have commitment you have to have discipline. I am just soooo happy you are back! I have really missed you. I’m going to follow you every week! Many many hugs and much love Jeri!

[@JeriBellini]

You made my DAY! Sending BIG HUGS!

[@user-yd3xl3oy1w]

Where can I find a tiny house on the beach? I really enjoy your vids!! I am committed to a good life.

[@JeriBellini]

At our age, and I don't know how old you are, but we all should be commited to a good life by this time! ❤️

[@lalagamma4452]

Art journal could be fun but recycled art is my favorite. Love the dot a day. But I'll be here for anything. Happiest New Year may it be filled with Joy, Positive Vibes and Blessed Peace for 2024. Huge HUGS! Namesta🐞⛄🐞

[@JeriBellini]

Well you KNOW if I made a journal it would be from recycled things! 😂 I stopped buying art supplies at the craft store years ago! Not including the basics of glue and paint.... I buy all my fabric from the thrift shop, disguised as clothing. hehehaaa I love stitching with soft cloth full of story and history. Sending hugs!

[@lalagamma4452]

@@JeriBellini that's why I always enjoyed watching you. I also get fabric left over from a seamstress near me for free. It's mostly small pieces but it's fun to play with. 🐞🐞🐞

[@JeriBellini]

Aren't you lucky to get fabric that way! I bet it's fun to look through and use those!

[@lalagamma4452]

@@JeriBellini it was on a whim that I asked the seamstress if I could buy her scraps. She advised she used bigger pieces sometimes but she'd gladly give me the stuff that is usually tossed. A real blessing 🐞💜🐞

[@debbiesjournals4550]

I enjoyed your chat and seeing your projects. Love the dots on the wall behind you. How cool that you have an ongoing creative piece to look at every day. I watched you today while making chicken okra gumbo after spending the morning in my (almost daily) creative journal. My word is persistence. It’s really in reference to weight loss but it works for my art as well!

[@JeriBellini]

Good for you for being in your art journal daily and that's a great word for so many reasons. I had it as my word a few years back and it served me well. Thanks for being here!

[@lalagamma4452]

I crochet too. I'm crouching a blanket for my new great granddaughter due this month. 🐞🐞🐞

[@JeriBellini]

oh that's wonderful! A first GG? The love you pour into the blanket will keep her safe and warm!

[@lalagamma4452]

@@JeriBellini no the first GG is an adorable little boy in Washington state. It's wonderful when him and his mom come to visit. I do have other great grands my daughter has some adopted children. Unfortunately I only see them on Facebook. 😭

[@cathywhitney8194]

The sound and the picture look great! You don't need another mic. OK, back to watching the video.

[@JeriBellini]

Thank YOU Cathy! I just have to work on the FOCUS!

[@teriwhidden9178]

Happy Happy New Year! The projects that you showed are amazing! I do not crochet,knit, or draw! I like your word {s} of the year. Good luck learning your new camera! I quilt and do collage. Right now I really enjoy making artist trading cards and belong to a few groups local and on line. See you in the next video.

[@JeriBellini]

I love that you guys have been sharing how you like to create! I feel like you're all sitting right here with me having a chat. And we will be together at some point in a zoom room at least! ❤️

[@priscillastephenson7167]

the market bag is great! please share the pattern

[@JeriBellini]

Will do! Thanks for being here!

[@barbclark69]

You could talk about anything and I'd watch. I love the market bag. It looks quite a bit like a cat bed that I made, but I stopped long before you did on those edges, and rolled the edges around a flatter center. Great cat bed. I LOVE the dots. That could be a really cool quilt top as well. I totally love it. I love the drawing lessons. You're doing great. I'm also practicing drawing. But six months ago I made one tiny drawing I really liked, so I stopped. What's that about? Keep on creating; it'll keep you young. -- Barbara Clark

[@JeriBellini]

YES! The woman had a cat bed right next to the bag! She just used more strands of yarn to make it stiff. Get back to your drawing Barb! I keep the sketchbook by my bed so if I dont' get a chance during the day I'll do it when I settle in. I go to bed EARLY to give myself time to relax and unwind from the day. Sending hugs!

[@kathiekarancz964]

I too love listening to you. What is a fiber bundle? Kathie from Mexico 🐢

[@JeriBellini]

Hi Kathie, ❤️ Thanks for asking! It's a grouping of yarn, various textures, colors in a particular length. It's a great way to get an assortment of fibers. People use them for all sorts of things. Embellishing etc. One of our customers made a scarf! Here's a link so you can see: www.etsy.com/listing/1308357202/fiber-art-yarn-bundles-20x1yd-20yd

[@lauriemckeemancoulson6076]

I love the circles in the background. Do you have a KZbin about the😢?

[@JeriBellini]

You are the 20th+ person that asked! I will make a video! 🩷 Thanks for watching!

[@caitlinmatthews1401]

New camera is lovely! I am very interested in your “dot” project. I just browsed Jude Hill’s channel and couldn’t find the dot video…any help??

[@JeriBellini]

Oh she does not have a dot video, she just loves circles and I was inspired by her and created my own dots. She comes at sewing in a very non traditional sort of way which I really enjoy. I could make a video and show how I've made my dots. I'll put it on my list. Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@caitlinmatthews1401]

@@JeriBellini Yes please for the video!!!

[@birdietherecycledhippychic642]

I thought this sound was fine. I thought even your phone worked fine.

[@JeriBellini]

Oh thanks for that Birdie... I didn't care to use my phone because while I was filming I would get a message or something. I did figure out to turn all that off, but I like to keep myself "camera ready" so I thought a regular camera would work best for me. I'm really happy with my new video camera. I'll still use the phone if I'm out. Easy works best for me at this age! 🤣 🩷

[@lalagamma4452]

I wrote 3 different chats because I know it helps the channels algorithms. I have extra stuff for the new year. Some I had and I was inspired by Just Journaling with Possums Patty. I played this video back to back twice too. I decided to put on my thinking cap and this is what came to me. Word: Serendipity is a literary noun that means good fortune or luck in finding valuable or pleasant things that are not sought for. Color: Cobalt Color Meaning: The Color Cobalt Symbolizes Ingenuity and Enlightenment. Flower: Periwinkle Friendship: A sweet memory of good times and a bond that will last forever. Ladybug symbol also stands for protection, healing, and good fortune across the world. Number: 13 is a number of power and practicality. It represents building secure foundations, strong tradition, and hard work. It can also represent focus, independence, and creativity. Animal: Llama Spirit animal Some say that having a llama as a spirit animal means you're laid back, easygoing, stubborn, generous, brilliant, persevering, and have good instincts. Some of these I decided I should check the meanings of after seeing your video. I'm also going to make goals of purging things that no longer give me Joy and contentment. I never make resolutions I only have goals. I remind myself of not try to force like resolutions. Huge HUGS! Namesta 🐞🐾🐞🧚🐞

[@JeriBellini]

You are FANTASTIC Lala! I love that you took it to the next level and chose so many wonderful things. The ladybug is an especially meaningful thing to me and my family and maybe sometime I'll explain that. I don't even like the "word" resolutions... 🤣 It's better to just set some goals like you said. I love that you are going to do some purging, we did that when we moved and it's something I'm constantly working on. Thank you for your caring and support! ❤️

I can’t remember if I commented already. I am so glad you are back. I checked Judd’s website and she has so many videos. Perhaps you could tell me which video to watch for a beginner. Maybe you can show me. I am on oxygen and in a wheelchair. I do junk journals. It’s so easy and that is what I need. I am in a lot of pain so doing something like that helps. Please help if you can. I love your work. Thanks. Anna Maria Piccioli Leader
