Another winner, Sandy....the tuna salad and your dinner looked delicious....what a great idea to put the scissor covers on your needles....I will have to order some - they are so cute....how nice to have Eric drop by and knit with you.... Glen is hysterical...I wait with joyful anticipation to see what he is going to do.....See you tomorrow

I don't know if anyone else has written this, but I LOVE JOY THE BAKER!!! I've been following her since not long after she started her blog (around 2008 or 2009). I've since developed a dairy allergy but I still follow her and manage to cook some of her recipes. She has a fun personality, I love her photography and, of course, her recipes are wonderful (she has two vegan chocolate cake recipes that are amazing!).

[@deirdreschlosser2345]

Your shawl will be beautiful! Thanks for another fun and cozy episode of BTL Vlogmas, Sandy! ❤️

[@kellyphillips716]

So happy you’re doing vlogmas. I’ve read The Salt Path and the follow on, The Wild Silence, and enjoyed them both. Your new project plans look lovely. Glen is so funny - I like the different gloves! Thank you for a lovely video

[@kendram7511]

Enjoying your Vlogmas! I admire how good you are at making your house a home! Not sure how you accomplish so much in a day’s time!😊

Enjoy the Salt Path, a true story.Ihave been lucky enough to walk some of it...beautiful. love your vlogs

[@carlamonico4739]

Gotta love Glen’s look of determination and how rough he is when opening packages. I remember that from last year. Sweet.

[@cindyg.8425]

I just love your Vlogmas so much. The food you prepare and lovingly serve your family looks so delicious. Glen is so fun to watch. Thank you for all the sharing and a brief glimpse into your family life during this festive season.

[@andreamarshall9677]

Hi Sandy, also love your posts! I crave your schedule, although hectic for you at times, I remember the years I spent being in the home when my 3 kids were growing up! The routines for coziness, good recipes and crafting were my favorite, and providing a lifestyle for my family the way you do, were so important. I am looking forward to retiring from teaching elementary art in a couple of years, and coming home again! Thanks for providing a glimpse into your days! Hugs from New England!

[@radhikam2401]

Last year was very interesting to me. So I am excited for this year for sure

[@Juliemr2810]

Lovely, I so enjoy your videos, I really want to do some baking now 😊. I hope you enjoy The Salt Path. I read it last year, it’s wonderful.xx

[@sharonvanpelt6005]

Enjoyed day 2 of vlogmas. I must say your dinners have looked wonderful and inspiring. I too am a morning person who enjoys a routine before my husband gets up. That time really does somewhat set the tone for my day. Thank you again for doing vlogmas.

[@tarawurster6272]

I am so excited for another year of Glen’s Advent Opening Genius! Thank you so very much for opening your home to us for another year of Vlogmas Sandy. Seeing your warm smile everyday is a wonderful boost to my mornings.

[@bythelakeside]

That’s so sweet, thank you!!

[@Susie98052]

Please make everything in that magazine. I can live vicariously through your baking! Since my husband was diagnosed with celiac, I haven't done any baking

[@shirleyflavell5705]

A great treat thank you Sandy.

[@drea3556]

Now now Vlogmas couldn't be complete without a visit from Eric 😁 Great Day 2. The baking anf cooking alone is great. Totally a great idea as to use your minis I totally love the shawl idea for sure. I love seeing you all open your daily Advent especially Glen 😁 Again Thanks for inviting us in.

[@evettewilson5209]

I love your vlog during the holiday. Really festive and all the cooking

[@angelahunnel9425]

Wow! That scarf looks like it would be a great project for the mini you showed! I can always use inspiration for meals and projects! So fun! ❤🎄

[@pennyconnell69]

Hi Sandy. I am watching from Alabama ! I have been watching your vlogmas for the past three years and I always enjoy! Merry Christmas to you and your family !

[@lorionlittletraversebay9176]

I’m so glad you’re recording vlogmas this year! I love your homey episodes-full of comfort and joy!

[@nelliemelo9004]

Beautiful vlogmas as always. 🥰

[@pollyg5731]

Thanks for the Vlogmas episodes - it's lovely to steal some quiet moments to watch them. The Salt Path is an amazing book.

[@juliannph]

I read The Salt Path last summer and it is really good. I hope you enjoy it

[@RhondaLorch]

The Salt Path was my favourite book this year. So lovely!

[@marshasemple7108]

Love seeing all of your decorations and the calm beginning to your Vlogmas episodes!

[@DeeKomedy]

beautiful decorations

[@normasmith9596]

Love socks. I really want to do that next year. So much fun to have a knitting friend

[@debib5382]

So lovely Sandy 💗 You bring all of the cozy holiday vibes to us and I really appreciate you 💗

[@bythelakeside]

Thank you, I appreciate you being here. :)

[@inesabdelnour2135]

I can’t tell you how happy I am that you’re back with Vlogmas❣️. I started following you last Vlogmas and I’ve been hooked. I’m not a knitter, but am a paper crafter. Thanks for creating a creative and peaceful place to be inspired. I must know the shade of nail polish you wore in this vlog, Thanks

[@bythelakeside]

It’s a OPI they used at the salon.

[@kathleenogrady7546]

Sandy, I have to tell you Your Vlog is the first thing I look for when I get on the computer. Such a fun spot in each day in December. Your socks are going to be so pretty. Joy the Baker has a wonderful cooking blog too, lots of great recipes. Your dinner looked so yummy, I could smell those lamb chops grilling, lol. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us,😊

[@neenathatsews1085]

love the project ideas for your minis- great vlog! Always love seeing Eric make an appearance and Glen is so silly- he makes me laugh when he opens his advent!

[@barbarastillman6276]

Great vlogmas as always. I burst out laughing when Glenn came in with his red gloves on to match his advent goodies! He is so much fun😅 Can’t wait to watch tomorrow’s recording ❤️

[@Joyti1517]

Love your vlogs, you have a beautiful family and gorgeous house

[@bluegrassdreams2seams510]

Everyone has their own advent calendar. Awesome! I’m having fun watching several Vlogmas KZbinrs and getting ideas for myself and my husband. I liked what you did for your husband…. Fantastic idea!

[@conniebuchner4715]

Fun evening, 2 vlogmas episodes! It must be nice to have a knitting companion to sit and knit with. Your husband just cracks me up!😂🎄🎅🏼

[@anneauten2307]

Just starting my first video of yours 🤗 Haven’t even gotten to the knitting but Love your glasses! Mind sharing the frame details?

[@sonialatham6467]

Love your vlogs! I hope you do start the shawl! The colors you have chosen are amazing! That black cherry soda looks so yummy!

[@juliadroy1179]

Love your vlogmass😀

[@Riptide1976]

You did it again!!! Wonderful vlog!!!

[@deborahinman3852]

I can really recommend The Salt Path. Both my husband and I read it; apart from classics we rarely read the same books. Enjoy this amazing, true story and the beauty of the south coast path of the UK. Xx

[@sandramcinnis-fibreinsanity]

When you showed that shawl pattern yesterday, it was my favourite! Those yarns you have would be perfect!

[@bythelakeside]

Make one with me Sandra!! ☺️

[@sandramcinnis-fibreinsanity]

@@bythelakeside I would totally do that! I’ll check out the pattern and see if I have what it needs 😁

[@inesjoindi4383]

Hi! I'm watching your vlogmas from Portugal. It's very nice to see how different people live this time of the year. Thank you for the cooking ideas 😁😉 (by the way, those potatos were put raw into the pan?) kisses

[@bythelakeside]

No, I parboiled them first and then in the skillet.

[@meaghan8740]

Hahaha Glen cracks me up!

[@shirleyflavell5705]

P.S. loved the look of the Tuna salad.

[@brendamorison8671]

I am enjoying Vlogmas 2021. Those leather scissor tip protectors are so cute and such a good idea for tip protectors for sock needles protectors. Where do they come from? Must get some. They would make great gift notions.

[@bythelakeside]

Thank you! I make bags and leather accessories… they are all in my shop! ☺️

[@annkathy257]

What comes to mind? ... Oh, what fun it is! 😀 🎄

[@cristaljohns1999]

This my second year watching your vlogmas. There’s something so cozy about it! I love your knitting bags. Where do you find them? I’m a crocheter and would love that.

[@bythelakeside]

Thanks! I am a designer and make them, I have a shop link in the description.

[@mandyofmarymac]

Everything about your lifestyle seems nearly perfect. We had Advent Calendars last year and they were loads of fun. I have read most of the Salt Path, and really enjoyed it. I say most, because, somehow I've misplaced it! I was about 3/4 of the way through too. The beginning was a little tough, but it got better. However, it is a story of endurance, so stick with it, I hope I'm right. You'll most likely finish yours, before I even find mine! Best wishes to you this Holiday Season. PS You always look so lovely.

[@lindalatimer5757]

Good morning from Oregon. I really like the felted garland that you showed on your piano. Any chance you could tell me where to find one of these or how to make. Thank you.

[@bythelakeside]

I purchased it at Home Sense a few years ago.

[@kathytellier3806]

Where do you find egg nog spice? 😋

[@bythelakeside]

It is a new item from President’s Choice which is found at Canadian stores (loblaws, real Canadian superstore, etc.)

[@kathytellier3806]

@@bythelakeside yum…I will check it out!

[@smwilcox8290]

Just getting caught up on your Vlogmas. What ingredients do you put into your tuna salad? Looks delicious!

[@bythelakeside]

Just red onion, bell peppers, shredded carrot, capers, mayo and salt and pepper.

[@ritaking8827]

That was perfect!

[@mistyblue5312]

Hee! Hee! Sorry Sandy ….but ….pretty soon Glen will be the star of the show!! hilarious! It was nice having a sneak peak of Eric too. Btw, you could make some mini Spumoni Bundt cakes for 🎄 in that Olsen bakeware you just purchased. Thanks for another lovely episode Sandy. Hugs.

[@Kasiopea_a_Andromeda]

Haha Glen 🥰😅👏
