[@marshahafner8216]

I just love your posts! I feel like we could be sisters. We have a lot of things in common. I love Amish fiction, love embroidery and love Bible study and scripture writing. Thank you for taking time for us❤️

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi Marsha! It's fun to meet someone who loves similar things! I don't have a sister, so you could be one for me. 🙂 I appreciate you taking time to watch my videos. Blessings to you, friend.♥

Thank you Norma!!♥

[@bobba3736]

Hi Sherry, what a great video ❤. You’ve sparked in me a desire to pick up some embroidery or cross stitch again! I love that you light the menorah and relate it to Jesus. I want to start doing it too. You are always a great inspiration on many things. 🥰

[@thehomespunwife]

Thank you, bobba! I hope you will get an embroidery kit and jump in. I think you'd love it! I'm looking forward to sharing more about Hanukkah!♥

[@PersonalizeMyPlanner]

Beautiful embroidery! That looks like so much fun!

[@thehomespunwife]

Thank you, Lauren! I've enjoyed it!

[@tracyrota216]

Love the embroidery. I love to cross stitch also. Even though I haven't done it often in a long time. It is my goal this winter to pick it back up. I have read that book. I did enjoy it. At first I had a hard time getting into it, but by the end I was really trying to figure out the mystery. Want to kook for the rest in the series. I do enjoy reading Amish fiction the most. Love your videos

[@thehomespunwife]

It sounds like we have so much in common! Thanks for watching, Tracy!♥️

[@sandychain6571]

Good morning from Texas to you dear Sherry … I love your embroidery I love doing the flowers and birds pictures .. can’t wait to see your finished piece… always looked forward to your videos .. that is a beautiful mennorah …?? Sorry for spelling .. looking forward to hearing about your celebration .. I love pioneer stores for fun reading … gotta get ready I keep my grandpups thru the week ♥️😃😃

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi Sandy! Thanks for visiting with me! I hope you have a fun day with your grandpups. I have two grandpups....one (Olive) just had her grooming session and is quite proud.. The other (Raven) just got a new Christmas sweater and looks adorable in it. 🙂

[@stockingupspendingless554]

Your embroidery project is beautiful! If I could pick a 2025 word for you it would be "inspire". I think it's the perfect for you because you are so uplifting, I'm really enjoying catching up with you. Have a blessed day. Pam

[@thehomespunwife]

Thank you Pam! You are very kind to me and I appreciate you!♥️

[@mrsc1952]

The menorah is beautiful and I love the way you found to celebrate Hanukkah. I too enjoy holding a physical book. It is a joy to get new books and snuggle up for a read. Your videos always encourage my heart. You are a blessing:)

[@thehomespunwife]

Thank you, mrsc. I appreciate reading your comments. You're a blessing too!♥

[@karengear5254]

Your embarks beautiful. I am a quilter and when I watch you or listen I always sew as it gives me so much peace thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

[@thehomespunwife]

That's wonderful to know, Karen! Thank you.♥

[@debbielee7940]

Beautiful embroidery, Sherry! Thank you for sharing it with us. I am an avid cross stitcher. I find it to be so relaxing. I have not tried embroidery yet, but I would like to. French knots are challenging for me! Like you, I prefer holding an actual book to reading a digital version. Actual books take up more space, but I think there's something comforting about being surrounded by books. Almost like a warm blanket. Also, like you, my husband recently retired from pastoral ministry. It's a new chapter, to be sure. We are enjoying your pastor life channel and pray that the Lord will use it to bless others. ❤

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi Debbie and congratulations on retirement! We are loving it and hope you will too. I think you would really enjoy embroidery, Debbie. It is much more forgiving than cross stitch. One thing that has helped me with all my stitches is using videos to learn them. I'm not sure if you have Pinterest, but they do clips of videos to show specific stitches and I can play them again and again. It's a great benefit! Thank you for watching PastorLife! Blessings to you, friend♥

[@notwithoutchrist7591]

Yes, the actual book. Nothing like it! Love your Videos. ❤. Thank you so much. You are a blessing. God bless 🙏

[@thehomespunwife]

Thank you, friend! I appreciate you leaving a sweet comment. ♥

[@lindawetzel6132]

Oh thank you, Linda! ♥️

[@alisonhomann1585]

What a lovely chat. I do love your embroidery.

[@donnasmith5697]

Sherry, this was such a sweet video. I’m looking forward to hearing which verses you’ve chosen to emphasize The Light. Several years ago we toured the holy land - that was a life changing trip. We purchased a Menorah and it has sat in our China cabinet- the only time I’ve used it was when teaching a Bible story. Perhaps you’ve sparked a light in me to use it on special holidays! Thank you!

[@thehomespunwife]

Oh yes, Donna! You should use your Menorah. Hanukkah starts at sundown on December 25th this year. I'm looking forward to sharing more about the Festival of Lights! I know you enjoyed your time in the Holy Land. So special. I'm glad you got to go!♥

[@closeyoureyes75]

I, also, enjoy Amish fiction. What fun to know that Guideposts has put out such an extensive series. I resonate with much of what you shared here and am so looking forward to the Peace study. Thank you for all you do for Him, and for us. Blessings on you and yours, 💖 Margaret Elaine

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi Margaret Elaine! Thanks for watching, friend!♥

[@normalopez2856]

Good morning 😃

[@roxanasova4766]

Hi Sherry. This video really touched me and brought tears to my eyes as you shared how you and Vince have and are going to celebrate Hanekkah this year. Jesus is the light of the world! I am really looking forward to the video once you have the celebration planned. Thank you so much, Sherry.❤...........Roxy

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi Roxy! Thank you for visiting with me today. Hanukkah is even more special when I think how Jesus himself celebrated this festival, recognizing all the while that HE is the light the world had been waiting for. I'm looking forward to sharing more! Blessings to you, friend. ♥

[@Elaine_Jim_McGuire]

I'm an avid cross stitcher, I find it so relaxing.

[@thehomespunwife]

It's so much fun, Elaine. I bet you would love embroidery too!

[@vickischlupp3412]

Thank you for sharing your Hanukkah tradition. I will be lighting my menorah too!! May you and Vince have a blessed day today!! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@thehomespunwife]

Thank you Vicki!!♥

[@amyperrine7421]

My daughter did that embroidery kit. She's just learning. Hers turned out nice! You're right about cross stitch. I started one for Christmas, but I don't think it will be finished for this Christmas. There are too many color changes. I'm looking forward to your Hanukkah video!

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi Amy! I've had lots of fun with this kit and I'm glad your daughter enjoyed hers too. I'm excited to share more about Hanukkah! It begins this year on December 25th, as we celebrate Jesus' birthday. I thought to myself how appropriate that is. Blessings to you!♥

[@beverlyrobertson1601]

Hi Sherry. I love your embroidery! Ive been working on a small embroidery project too! Your menorah is so pretty! It is wonderful to celebrate the Light of The World, Jesus! I look forward to hearing more about your lighting of the candles.

[@thehomespunwife]

Thank you Beverly! Blessings to you!♥

[@Anna-sb9oj]

Sherry, I’m so thankful to have found your channel this summer. I’m thankful for you and I’m also grateful for the You Tube platform. I’ve never met anyone (young or old) that watches it regularly like I do in my circle of friends/family! I am surprised and always try to promote it. The channels I subscribe to align perfectly with my interests and values. I was looking at my finances recently due to Christmas coming up and analyzing my recurring subscriptions but I just couldn’t give up my premium membership. To me it is worth it, because I receive so much joy and helpful information watching wonderful channels like The Homespun Wife. Now I’m going to watch your latest video! Love and blessings to all my fellow subscribers 🙏

[@thehomespunwife]

Thank you very much, Anna! I appreciate you subscribing to my channel. You always have encouraging things to say and it means a lot. ♥

[@IRIS-fi3si]

Loved this video. I also used to cross stitch quite a bit and a have a few unfinished projects I need to dust off. Currently taking it one day at a time and seeking God’s guidance in my ventures. I’m also ready quite a few books. I love the hard copies but my book shelves are bursting at the seems so recently started purchasing the electronic versions. Although I have to admit there is something special about holding a book. I’m currently doing the Valerie M. Bodden series (Hope Springs). She has quite a few series and so far loving this series. Easy and relaxing read. She’s a Christian author. ♥️♥️♥️ her books. Thx for advising on taking our time with the Bible study we are doing. I am actually writing my answers along with what the Lord speaks to me in my digital journal.

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi Iris! Thanks for sharing about the things you're up to these days. Your Hope Spring series sounds interesting. Anything that brings me relaxation and enjoyment is wonderful! Blessings to you, friend.♥

[@Paulabee348]

I love cross stitch and embroidery. I’m a bit intimidated with Embroidery though, but I think it’s beautiful. I quilt too ❤ I’m a very “analog” person. I love paper and physically holding a book and the way books smell ( 🤷‍♀️) I love stationary in general. My mother ( she passed many years ago) was a Hebrew Christian, this KZbin post was right up my alley ❤ lol

[@thehomespunwife]

That's great to know, Paula. I love the Jewish festivals and traditions. Each of them has so much meaning for the Christian, because they all point to Jesus. I love stationary too! Even when I was a child, I loved going to that section of the store and picking something out. ♥.

[@bhallmark3390]

I so enjoyed your discussion today…😊. The embroidery picture you are working on is so pretty. I hope you will be hanging it somewhere in your home once it’s done. Embroidery is something I always thought I might like to try, but just never have done it. I love crochet and can also knit and sew, so I’m thinking I would like it. You have inspired me to get a kit or at least start learning some of the basic stitches…. As for reading books that are outside of your usual scope, I have the same issue of finding it a challenge to “get into” a new book. I haven’t been reading much because it always seems to make me so sleepy! But when I do read, it’s enjoyable, until I have to stop and lay down! Am I the only one this happens to?? It’s always such a joy to see each new video that you make. Thank you so much…🥰 ❤-Brenda

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi Brenda! Reading often makes me drowsy too. Lol. Maybe that's because I often wait till evening to read. I do think you would enjoy embroidery. If you sew, you will pick up the stitches quickly, Brenda. Thanks for all your support, friend!♥

[@rosiegurment8198]

I am the same way,there is just something special about having a real book in your hands to read.I can't get comfortable with a kindle.

[@thehomespunwife]

I agree. I'll just have to make space for books! lol

[@barb9181]

If you like Amish christian fiction, may I suggest Beverly Lewis? She writes adult and children books and recently released an Amish cookbook. While she is not Amish, I believe her grandparents were. I believe several of her books have been made into wholesome movies. I worked in a Christian bookstore so have lots of suggestions. Blessings to all.

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi Barb! I have read Beverly Lewis! I enjoy her books. I would love to hear your suggestions since you worked in the bookstore and have a great deal of knowledge about such things. Blessings, friend. ♥

[@kathymcconnell8912]

Your embroidery is so beautiful Sherry. Kind of funny I am contemplating starting some embroidery as well. There is an embroidery channel and she made an embroidered pocket to tie around her waist if her clothing doesn’t have a pocket. It might be a while before I get started though. The menorah is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this! ❤️🤗

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi Kathy! I'm learning a lot from watching some stitching vides or clips. It helps to physically see someone doing the various stitches. Blessings, friend!♥

[@susiemccoy7]

The book series look like good reading. Keep us updated on what you think. I re-read the series"the Mitford Years by Jan Karon each year. There are 14 books in the series. Excellent read. What a beautiful Menora. Blessings to you Sherry 💖

[@thehomespunwife]

My husband and I read the first three books of the Mitford series aloud to each other at bedtime, right after the books first came out. It was during that time he surprised me with an Anniversary gift of going to see Jan Karon in person. We had second row seats and sat directly behind her before she stood up to speak. It was very exciting! Blessings to you, Susie!!♥

[@bunniesandroses499]

i've read Guideposts books about holy angel stories that are true. I don't read fiction. My parents were born in Europe and I've been embroidering since I was 5 years old., your embroidery is wonderful. Sometime you could try doing a T-shirt. XXOO

[@thehomespunwife]

Oooo....I would have to be brave to embroidery a t-shirt! But now you've set my mind to thinking on it! lol. I will keep practicing until I feel more confident. ♥

[@teresac205]

For your cross stitch

[@thehomespunwife]

Wow, Teresa!! Thank you for your generosity. I appreciate you being so kind to me. This is a blessing. ♥

[@teresac205]

@thehomespunwife enjoy

[@teresac205]

Remember the word says if someone blesses you then you should bless them. So you're welcome and thank you for all of the blessings

[@barbaraspring3199]

I also like Amish fiction and have read most of Beverly Lewis’ books among many other Amish authors. Wanted to ask you if you use your local library to get those series of books you mentioned tonight. My library here will order books for me if they don’t have them in the local library from a bigger library. They will get them from libraries all over the state.

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi Barbara! I sometimes check out books from the library. But many times I'm able to find them on sale...either at Good Will or at Ollies. I'm so glad your library works with others in your state. I do think we have that option here in NC as well. Blessings to you!

[@jeanjacobs9965]

Greetings Sherry! I really enjoyed our visit today. I've never tried embroidery before, just cross stitch. What a beautiful gift from your neighbor. I would love to learn more about Hanukkah. Thank you for sharing your life with us! Oh, by the way, how do you find out about the Guidepost books? Is it online somewhere? Love and blessings ♥️🙏

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi Jean! Thank you for spending time with me! I think you would enjoy embroidery and these little kits are inexpensive and fun for beginners. I will leave a link below, friend, for the fiction book section of Guideposts website: guideposts.org/shop/category/fiction-books/

[@jeanjacobs9965]

@thehomespunwife Thank you Sherry! ♥️🙏

[@barbaraspring3199]

I miss hearing you say “it is Sherry” when you start your videos. Would you say it again in a few of them going forward.

[@thehomespunwife]

I usually do say it, Barbara....but there may be a few where I failed to mention it!
