April I am crying with you right now 😢I know this was three months ago but oh my goodness the pure joy and thankfulness you are expressing is so precious!! I just started following you recently and have been binge watching your videos😊 I was searching for market set ups and found you. I don’t crochet or knit but I’m so fascinated with your beautiful things🤗 I’m just getting into markets, in fact I’ve only done one and got rained out😂 but because of you I’m gonna try again. You have tough me so much in just the little bit of time I have been following you. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH ❤ You are just the most authentically kind,honest and talented person ❤ You Rock Girl ❤🎉

[@lindasakseide282]

WOW, Thank you so much. I´m amazed by you all. Lots of love ❤

[@lindasakseide282]

WOW, April 😀. I am SOOOO happy you loved the surprise and that you really got surprised hihihi 😉. I was also really surprised that you dedicated so much time and beautiful comments to it all. I really, really loved watching you getting all emotional and everything, - it warmed my heart ❤. I understand the uncomfortable feeling of heat by the AC not working. I couldn´t be without it in Spain, but I actually feel like my mom should have AC too, because it is kind of warm here as well, although not by any means in comparison to neither Ohio or Spain. I love, love, love the embroidered eyes of the cute and beautiful strawberry turtle. When I start making plushies I will definitely use your style of embroidered eyes, - they are MUCH cuter than safety eyes, - with out comparison actually 🙂. I also totally agree with you that making the "legs" and all the small things amigurumi makes your hands and fingers hurt, - so I don´t think that will be something I will start doing frequently ever. One thing though... I wasn´t talking about your weight in the letter, but your hight hehe... I gestimated your hight 😉 You are amazing... 🥰

[@thecozybuckeye]

Linda, My emotions were 100% real and every time I watch this video, I get emotional. Not just because of the gifts that my daughter and I will treasure forever, but because of you and your bright light. From the beginning of my KZbin journey, you have gone above and beyond to encourage me shining your light on me, and I can't tell you how much that has meant to me. You are truly amazing, and I am so grateful to call you, my friend. Your work is beautiful, and you will for sure be able to sell your makes whenever you are able to get your shop up and running. As far as my weight, I mean height, ha-ha you were correct. I don't see height in cm. here obviously and I must have skipped ahead of myself. How embarrassing. Good Lort! I hope you are having fun in Norway on your holiday with your friends and family, and I will be working on a package to you real soon. I am deciding on what I want to send you.

[@lindasakseide282]

@@thecozybuckeye How amazing this is, - getting a true friend on the other side of the world. Thank you soooooo much 🙂❤❣. Yes, I wouldn´t dare talking about weight hahahaha... I thought you might not understand the cm, so I "translated" it into inches hehe... Now it is I who cannot wait to get home to Spain and wait for your surprise 🥰. I filmed myself yesterday, "reacting" (not with many words, so it was more watching) to your video. I am putting something together now, and I hope to get it out today or tomorrow. I also walked around my secondary school today, and sat down to crochet, so a bit more of my childhood memories will be included. Btw... My last name is difficult to pronounce, - I think I should include it in my next video, - not this one, because that is all done and I forgot it hehe...

I'd rather have that than the big ol clunky printer I have that constantly demands more $$ ink! I drink 2-3 cups of coffee in the winter, but then in the summer (or MUCH earlier where I live) I switch to making iced coffees. I use the Pioneer Woman's recipe (hope thats ok to put in here?) It's pretty much my only splurge - no sugar but a dash of hwc, and it's a refreshing pick-me-up.

I’m from norfolk in the UK (east coast) and I’m a NICU nurse who loves to crochet! But here in the uk we have to test our plushies before we can sell them (weight test, torque test, fire test and use compliant yarns with chemical safety certificates), and even when we do sell them they have to have the UKCA mark on them! Regarding your physical items and patterns, why don’t you open a separate Etsy shop just for your patterns? That way you can set up coupons just for your patterns as it’s a separate shop! X

[@thecozybuckeye]

I have been told about this testing by another viewer and it's a bit much!
