Early Summer / Writing, Sewing & Journaling / A Puzzle & an Apple Cake / Slow Living Vlog / Issue 7

Join me today for early summer afternoons of slow living, writing, baking and sewing. In this issue of Meadow Afternoon we will be pulling out a jigsaw puzzle, baking an apple cake, unboxing some new books, sewing a cross stitch design into a pillow, and writing a short story inspired by an 19th century painting.

Hope you all enjoyed the new video:) Leave a comment below with your favourite segment. Is anyone else a jigsaw puzzle person?

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

I am, but unlike you, I don't undo the puzzles 😅.

[@MeadowAfternoon]

@@CrisOnTheInternet I needed my desk back again and there's no free wall space in my room . . . so alas back in the box the puzzle went :)

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

@@MeadowAfternoon I mean, I flip them and divide them in four sections, then put masking tape and store it back ij the box because I don't plan to do it again in the future

[@MeadowAfternoon]

@@CrisOnTheInternet Oh that's a cool idea :)

[@sharonfernandez2739]

I was thrilled to bits to find your new video ❤❤❤❤ Well, I like...absolutely everything! My husband and daughter are avid puzzlers, and I love art and cross stitch. I love your voice and I really wanted a slice of your cake, it looked delicious 😜👍. I also love forest walks although I often trip over and got scared knees . I adore everything you show us. Thank you so much, it has made the month for me! ❤❤❤❤

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Thank you so much for watching and for leaving such a lovely comment 🌷 Cross stitch is so mediative, I love having one on the go, just to dip into, with no time limit for finishing 😊 Scraped and scared knees are an occupational hazard of forest walks I think .... I definitely have a few scars to prove it. I am very glad you enjoyed the video 🌿🌷🌿

[@tamlynrn]

Such a sweet video. You came across the recommended videos today and I’m glad that I took a moment to watch. Definitely positive and artistic time spent with my coffee. Take care 🙂🌼

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Hello 🤗 Thank you for stopping by the channel. Very glad you enjoyed the video. Hope to see you again soon 🌷

[@christinebell8980]

Lovely, Ida. I enjoy all the different segments,. My fave is the story and it was especially nice having you put a puzzle together as a backdrop. I love putting puzzles together. Thanks.

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Hello Christine😊 Thank you for coming back as always 🌿 Very glad you enjoyed the video 🌷 I had the perfect puzzle for the segment 😅

[@jacquelinemcgowan8164]

[@NoniSleipner]

I could finally sit down and watch the new issue after my exams. I am really happy that you posted a new issue, I love your videos ❤. That cushion looks lovely❤

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Congratulations for finishing your exams 😊 Very glad you enjoyed the video 🌷

[@FreeSpirit350]

Wonderful! I look forward to your videos! So much work into each one and so enjoyable 😊. I love a puzzle! But only a 500 piece! My craft table is filled with of wool atm, so I can’t do any but tend to in the colder months. Thank you for another video 🙏🏼

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Thank you for watching, I am very glad you enjoyed the video 😊 The 1000 piece puzzles do tend to take up a whole table, so not much else can go on while a puzzle is in progress 🤣 What are you making with the wool?

[@FreeSpirit350]

@@MeadowAfternoon ha, yes! I’ve tried the 1000 piece puzzle but for my little table the 500 is ideal. I make needle felted pieces and have just learned to crochet, so I’m making them little bags and things like mushrooms and tiny snails! Yesterday took a whole hour to master making ‘the magic circle’ a different way! The air was blue! 🤭but I got there! I like to try different things, like yourself, so I put them onto Facebook groups with a little poem. Thanks again for your beautiful video. 🙏🏼

[@AfricancoolChic]

Lovely relaxing informative video. ❤ Watching from Flanders, I'd never heard about tht Flemish artist, enjoyed learning about him 😊

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Thank you so much for coming back to the channel :) I am glad you enjoyed the video. I love doing the little bits of research for the short stories, I am always finding cool things to inspire my writing.
