[@loriluatminot]

July vlogs....! Yipee........!!!!

[@talesfromcuckooland]

I could cartwheel around with glee! In fact, I may record myself doing so tomorrow and send the video to you!

[@sandygrogg1203]

I started watching on Day 11.. Decided to begin at the beginning. Love your sweet companion. I have a small Terrier mix, and a little white Chihuahua ... both of which are my precious furbabies...always with me..💕

[@mariamorgan6819]

Lovely to know that I can share your world for July which is my birthday month. A craft room sneaky peak would be very interesting and maybe some sewing hints and tips too? Looking forward to tomorrow , have a restful evening 💖

[@patriciakasmarek6680]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful day!

[@lindacrouch9384]

So happy to see you back, just lovely!

[@erinm4873]

You are ethereal! And you are definitely spreading joy into the world! I love Mabel’s ears when she walks, my cattle dog mix, Lucy, does something similar when she walks where both ears kind of go back but then one bounces more while the other one is up a bit and listening to the world around her. So cute. Thank you for taking the time to make the vlog!

[@jenkershner]

So happy to get to spend this time seeing you Jooles! I was sad that Gayna's was over and it cheered me to know that I had yours to look forward to.

[@elizabethryan9633]

Thank you for taking time to let us into your life. Mabel is beautiful. I recently lost my dog to illness so through the tears you both make me smile (Coops also loved her walks in the woods)

[@margaretlyons8764]

Most enjoyed your walk. I always enjoy everyone cook alongs but under stand if not able too.have a wonderful day.😊

[@pamelanana58]

You are just an absolute gem of a lady - honestly what a perfect way to end my day and do a little knitting with your Vlog! You and your sweet doggy ! Have a great week from Canada!

[@sewgatormomm]

Thank you for sharing your positivity and kindness! It is very much appreciated, and yes, it inspires me to spread the generosity.

[@catherinemoss7800]

Good Morning Jooles ~ greetings & sweet salutations from Palm Desert ~ California :o) As my introduction to your vlogs began last holiday, December 2020, your July vlogs are a splendid New Year gift. And, oh my, how we all need your happiness and positivity in our lives. So ~ thank you for these July, 2019 Vlogs. And ~ wishing you every happiness in 2021.

[@Lorraine24_]

Jules, you succeeded in your mission to spread a bit of light and joy! It was just exactly what I needed, so thank you!

[@celestegarcia486]

Thank you for day 1 of your July vlog! Thanks for sharing your day and your thoughts and your sweet Mabel.

[@bethr5273]

Such a delightful slice of your life, Jooles! I do enjoy watching the mellow pace of your days, and it does brighten mine! Thanks for taking the time and making the effort - hope you enjoy every minute!

[@stitchinchik]

I am one of your " lovely " test knitters and i can tell you that you and your patterns are a complete joy. Thanks for the Vlogs. I've been loving Gaynas vlogs as well 💞💞

[@mphailey1]

I could watch you walk in the gardens for hours! So beautiful!

[@TheHilary49]

Loved day one. Thank you again for deciding to do this. I love walking with you in your daily life. I pray your Mum will be better than expected tomorrow ❤️

[@donnamariecorrigan]

Looking forward to watching July vlogs. Such a pretty garden.

[@DixieGirl9876]

What a magical walk, all those ferns! Your garden is lovely too, I love David Austin roses, I have two in bloom now.

[@kayjones3873]

A complete joy !!!!!!!

[@AlwaysAlways2x]

Dear Jooles, I’m just seeing this in the wee hours on the 4th of July here in the US. On a Monday, the 1st , late, our beloved Matriarch of the family, my SIL, passed away. In such moments, one feels as if they exist in two different worlds....if that makes any sense. Gratitude for her life and love, sorrow in her passing. It takes a lot of mental and emotional fortitude to see to the details and plans that must follow. I came on YT to find a place to get lost, to breathe, to smile, to refresh my heart & soul ahead of the services at weeks end. Here you were. I had no idea you were doing July vlogs, what a delightful surprise. You are a gorgeous creative loving heart and always bring a smile. I agree, Gayna, Racheal, Sherrie & Allie when they’ve done they’re monthly vlogs have been lovely. Finding and seeing as you said some of the common threads, the things that bring us joy, snippets of life that bind us together. It’s all so lovely. (While of course realizing they too have tough days, moments not seen, just as we all do). Your wish to sew seeds of love & kindness did just that....reaching a small hamlet in NY. It is now 414am - a smile on my face and in my heart. I’ve no doubt I am not the only one who feels the same. Your wish granted! Your hope realized and I’ve no doubt will continue to be so. I am breathing, feeling the exhaustion, tension melt away in all the best ways. I must get back to Racheal and Gaynas last vlogs, their last day in June. It’ll be good for the soul. Add to the smiles, uplift and ground my spirit....all of which I am most grateful for - even more so at this particular chapter & moment in my/our life. Your garden! Oh my, the roses all those roses! If only YT had smell-o-vision....how lovely that would be! I wish you gentle rest, loads of reasons to smile, to breathe and may you feel the gratitude, kindness & love you’ve gifted to us, surround you in return. Gentle pats, wishes for gorgeous walks and treats for booboo 🐾 (I used to call our Maxi “booboo” as well. What an absolute dear she was (and is still in my heart of hearts) There’s nothing quite like a loving sweet shadow such as that is there? ♥️🐾 I too must get back to my water drinking too! I have a infused jug much like yours. Must pull it out and get to it! Cucumber and mint sounds refreshing...must give that a try. I’ve never combined them before...usually one or the other or fruit infusions. 💕🦋🌸

[@sewsweetviolet]

Hi CJ x I am so very sorry for your loss and i'm sending you love and strength.Sometimes its the best thing we can do to 'escape' for a few minutes in other peoples lives xxx

[@evertheoptimist4780]

i haven't finished watching yet but I had to stop to admire your rainbow cookbooks :) This is so lovely though, I'm looking forward to watching more

[@michellecoates8556]

That was lovely Jooles, thank you x

[@suelipscombe8164]

So excited that you are doing July vlogs! Looking forward to enjoying your days with you ☺

[@aradhanawilson5823]

Hi Jules ,happy to see you vlogging once again,I am a great admirer of you and I always love your habits of cleanliness.You have a very gentle voice and beautiful personality. May God give you good health. I will be the most happy person to watch your vlogs daily.

[@clairerobinson6571]

Such a lovely start to July...

[@lacyoflittlerobincottage1403]

Just seeing you and Mabel brings me a feeling of joy. Your voice is so relaxing and gives me a feeling of calm. On the topic of depression, I too have found myself clinching my teeth during the day and I don't know why. I also know I do it in my sleep and have had to use a mouth guard. Strange, but I think it's my way of dealing with stress.

[@amcclellan509]

Such a lovely July vlog. So relaxing and the perfect end to my busy day. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@tombarrow4721]

Greetings Jooles, Many thanks to receive your new videos. Evidence indicates you and Mabel are well. These things give the folks at flannel jammies farm great joy. Grace and peace, Tom and Donna Rae

[@corinnefitzpatrick2619]

What a gorgeous doggy you have, she is very sweet. I always enjoy the cooking as much as the knitting!

[@nancykeating6514]

Thank you lovely to see you!

[@eddakarlsdottir1602]

[@lindamarie358]

Wonderful that you are doing a July Vlog and I enjoyed seeing you go about your day, Your gardens are lovely and so is your dog. I noticed you have Tegna started in one of your baskets. I am starting that project as well. Thank you for putting your kindness out into the universe. Such a beautiful philosophy and so needed in this world.

[@rubylu8079]

[@marisadawndesigns5458]

Love your vlogs! I live in Tucson, Arizona and it’s way too hot now for me to want to spend anytime outside. So I live vicariously through your beautiful walks through the English countryside! 💓

[@carolann963]

Thank you very much for your reply Jooles. I found the pattern thank you. There was just one other thing I forgot to ask about and that was the lovely calming background music 🎶 🎸 - with love xx

[@juliadroy1179]

I love the quilt in the opening scene can you show us a bit more please. I would love to learn to knit socks.

[@janesilverthorne6408]

[@TheSammich4]

Mabel is so cute!!!!

[@SewraymeUk]

Looking forward to spending July with you and Mabel 💕 and finding out about more of your daily rituals and the little things that make you happy 💕. My head is always whirring the first week of vlogging - I go to bed with things running through my head that I want to talk about the next day. It’s so hard to switch off!

[@lilycascio1884]

I always love your relaxing and beautiful and Insprational podcasts/now a summer vlogs for July! Are you sure you weren't a film editor in a past life? From the music, to your personal style and photography everything is so well thought out and executed! I would love to see you cook more of your recipes however I understand that is even more work than you already do. Also, would love some of the music credits! Thanks for your generous labor of love Jooles! See you later today!

[@tealbird99]

Hi jooles :) glad to see you back. Missed seeing you and mayble. You make my day happier and you are a joy to watch .bless you xx

[@epiphany8276]

Very happy to find out you are taking up the baton and doing July vlogs. Loved the walk in the woods, the ferns looked so green. My mum lives in West Sussex and I live in San Diego CA so it's like a little peek home! Jane xx

[@lindaharris7885]

I'm was so glad to hear from Rachael that you were going to be vlogging during July and I have enjoyed your first one very much.

[@marielouisecelestin6407]

Yes!! Your vlogs are always so nice, i will enjoy it every day❤️hugs for Mabel🐶😍

[@craftycleggscreations]

I’m so pleased your doing the July vlogs. Rachel from sewrayme told us all about you. What a wonderful Garden you have.🌷💐🌷

[@DevonsCreativeChannel]

Oh your tiny corner is beautiful and thank you for sharing it with us...😘

[@hazysummer72]

I’m always curious how other knitters store their handknits. Looking forwards to having your company over the next month

[@paulagrey8055]

Greetings from Australia! I like to make 'fruity water' for the hot days - in the morning I fill a jug with loads of sliced orange and lemon (you can add lime if that's your thing), and then fill to the top with ice cubes - no water. No need to put it in the fridge, just leave it out in the kitchen and top up with ice cubes during the day - very refreshing.

[@OllieandBella]

Yay! So happy when I saw the notification pop up to say you had filmed and then when I saw you’re doing daily vlogs I jumped for joy 💓

[@teresaparkins1255]

What a beautiful salve Jooles! I definitely find watching others knitting, sewing, cooking and enjoying day to day things makes for a better, calmer and more meaningful world. My question is about the Smitten quilt and I was wondering if you would talk to us about that, how you choose the colours, how you cut out the shapes and so on. I've had that pattern for too long and I'd love to be inspired to get going on it! Thank you Jooles for such a generous gift to us, Teresa xx

[@victoriacharters7450]

Oooo I was so thrilled to see your July vlog pop up Jooles - I too enjoyed Gaynas and can’t wait to see your daily posts xxxx (ps - the food delivery makes me anxious too - I have one a couple of times a week and I hate every one - but it is better than going to the supermarket!)

[@KathyThomas1015]

Your breakfast and lunch looked delicious enjoyed this vlog

[@amym9744]

Looking forward to your vlogs, Jooles!! Your roses are so pretty!

[@shirleyflavell5705]

Lovely vlog Jooles.

[@vivc4082]

Your corner of the world is really beautiful! You’re a very lucky girl :) viv

[@marymcdaid5471]

So happy to be joining you for July Vlogs Jooles. I really enjoyed your vlogmas. I wonder if you had any tips for going plastic free, especially in the kitchen. I started using the beeswax wraps, I saw you make. I had never even heard of them before I saw you make them.

[@jackiemcleish5350]

It's lovely that you are doing July vlogs I enjoyed your vlogmas so am looking forward to these , it's funny how someone else's every day chores are so much more interesting than our own ha ha , anyway thank you for today a lovely vlog 😊

[@sylviahopwood4691]

Hello ,I love your walks ,I've recently been watching The last Homely house East of the sea and now fallen in love with Kates Liberty quilts. I know you make some wonderful items with liberty fabric .I want to make my very first patchwork in liberty and wonder if you would like to show any simple patchwork ideas for beginners on your vlog please .Thank you x

[@sweetpeasouthernhome]

I just love your blogs. You live in a stunning area! Thank you so much for the tip on sock knitting tutorials. I’ll be starting my first pair soon as I get my circulars in. I live in Louisiana and it’s far to hot here for crochet! Oh and I also clench my jaw at night when my anxiety is bad. It gives me the worst migraines 😕. Thank you again Jooles! ~ Christy 😊

[@carolrabich275]

Jooles, I found your podcast and absolutely love them! You are so relaxing to share time with. Question... do homes and cars in England have air conditioning? The heat wave in the U,S. right now is extremely hot and humid and people are dying from the heat but many of us are blessed with the cool air luxury. Keep podcasting... Please!

[@abigailirvine3414]

Wonderful you’re doing July vlogs 😊

[@pennygilbert273]

Hi Jooles, I’m very new to your podcasts but I’m really enjoying them, I just wanted to let you know to look into a product called cerezen for your grinding at night, as a dental nurse I am very familiar with night time grinding it is very common, cerezen is a small hollow tube which is custom made to fit your ear canal just like an ear plug but you have impressions taken so it exactly fits you ears, they are hollow so it doesn’t block sound, if you stick your finger in your ear and clench your jaw you will notice your ear canal tighten, these tubes in your ears somehow magically stop you from grinding at night, I don’t have one but I have heard that they are very good, it might be worth looking into or ask your dentist about, hope this helps xx

[@sewsweetviolet]

Thank you so much Penny ..... i'm definitely going to be looking into this! xxx

[@Whirledpeas00Knits]

Love your vlogs

[@caroljuniper5100]

I’m pretty sure the rose is William Lobb, I’ve got a couple in my garden - such a lovely scent. I agree about gluten free snacks I quite often resort to Pom Bears, they’re the teddy shaped crisps for toddlers so additive free and cheap as well!

[@lyndalhancock518]

Hello from a very cold winters day in Melbourne Australia. This is my first time watching your vlog and am really enjoying it. I felt I had to comment in regards to your beautiful dog and the grapes. I don't know if you realize that grapes can be life threatening to some dogs by causing kidney failure. Some dogs are able to eat them without it being a problem, but other dogs can go into immediate kidney failure after just one grape or sultana etc. Nobody has yet worked out why it only affects some dogs but to be on the safe side please don't allow your dogs to eat any form of fresh or dried grapes. With my kindest regards, Lyndal

[@Whirledpeas00Knits]

Do you think we can get the lotion bar recipe you used for the mice you had on the holiday vlogs?

[@sewsweetviolet]

Yes! I really hope to do that for you all xxx

[@alainahodson5343]

Hi Jooles - my wee question is around your iron infusion - I know you had a bit of a reaction and didn’t feel good for a bit after it but has it now helped your iron levels? 💕

[@deborahsatherstringari8367]

I would love to watch you prepare your homemade granola recipe! 😊

[@melhartley2402]

Beautiful area for walks. Did you make that yummy looking granola you had this morning? If you did I would love to see you make it so I could make some also. Don’t stress yourself over your Vlogs. Just do what you do, walks, cooking, knitting etc...very nice and interesting. Your garden is beautiful. I have enjoyed your vlog, you are lighting up the world.

[@cottagekeeper1044]

I am so excited you are doing July Vlogs💕🦋 I was wondering if you would give us a little tour of your craft room. It would be lovely to see your garden. I would also love to know how you style your hair it is beautiful ♥️

[@clairefenwick2115]

Loving your vlogs hooked, could you tell me were your diffuser is from please

[@sewsweetviolet]

Hi Claire, it's from Neal's yard xxx

[@clairefenwick2115]

@@sewsweetviolet aww thank you lovely xxx

[@clairefenwick2115]

Ps your breakfasts look yummy..do you mix your toppings yourself(the seeds etc?xxx

[@kayjay9516]

Re Jaw clenching - my son clenches so badly at night his jaw clicks constantly in the day. He had no success with a mouth guard but the dentist suggested special earplugs, custom made to fit, not cheap, but they have worked. As long as he remembers to stick them in every night.

[@sewsweetviolet]

Hi Kay, that's so interesting as another lovely lady has mentioned this to me, I must look into it, i'm so glad it's helped your son xxx

[@janegarnier8614]

Aww, you are lovely 💕. I have a a wee whippet too. His name is Simon , ( the love of my life 😂).

[@sharonlittler5558]

Happy you are doing this. Love your blouse, did you make it? and if so what pattern did you use. Also what was that you sprinkled on your friut.

[@christinaheesakacowden-wut3809]

Ah, I always knew you were a Fairy in disguise ;-) just glowing away hihi

[@RJ-qv8ku]

Hi Jooles. Are you allowed to use Hemp products in the UK? I started using Hemp oil right at bedtime and I've been sleeping through the night for the first time in years. It might relax your jaw clenching. Love the vlog.

[@sewsweetviolet]

I think we are, that's so interesting, thank you xxx

[@rosem.7114]

💙💛❤💚🌼🌻🌺🌸

[@CountanceD]

Author Louise Hay writes about our ailments as symptoms of internal dialogue. I like to think that when my jaw is tense (and it is right now), it’s because I need to say something. That something could be anger, frustration, or unhappiness at my actions or lack of actions. But can also be with someone else. I find when I get reflective, I can usually figure it out. I also often find that what I want to say to myself just makes me angry. I’m such an awful listener! 😳🙈😊. And the things I want to say to others include too much foul language to share with them. 🤬🤬😔. So really, I’m no help🙄🤪 but I took up a lot of space in your comments and strangely my jaw is less tense. 🗣🗣😘.

[@jillipepper5353]

When I get really hot I rub ice cubes all over me, even stuck a couple in my bra😂🤣 just to cool off. I love sunshine but not humid heat, I just drip and am very uncomfortable. Worst comes to worse I take a bath in lightly warm water and read a book. I’m happy you’re making July videos, I found you on Vlogmas and missed you and a few others similar to yours come January. Blather on, it’s lovely to see what you’re up to. My job for tonight is to make strawberry jam because the local berries are ripe. My kids love to get their Mum jam in their stockings at Christmas. Tomorrow I’m going to pick loads of tiny wild ones all over our yard and make them into jam. 🍓🍓🍓🍓

[@snieguolekiliokaitiene8003]

You look like princes Leia from Star Wars, see you tomorrow
