Growing older is a blessing. I'm 57, have long silver hair and I will never be bothered to dye it again. My MIL told me once when I was complaining about getting older, "it's better than the alternative". That stuck with me.

@thecozybuckeye 4 ай бұрын

I'm appreciative for sure to still be healthy. It's funny I say the same thing. I will always love birthdays and getting older. I just am not ready to look older, lol. My stepdaughter is my beautician, so it gives me a chance to hang out with her and catch up while she does my hair. She also gives me a HUGE discount, so I don't plan on embracing the gray anytime soon! Thank you so much for your comment and for your support. Have a great day!

Loved this week's video! The rabbit at the beginning 😍😍 omg, so sweet! I think you'd like home slim chenille yarn. It feels just like parfait chunky but bigger. It's a size 6. They don't offer a ton of bright colors so I like to also use sweet snuggles lite because it's also a size 6. And if you really want big yarn, you can use sweet snuggles because it's a size 7 yarn. All of them can be found at michaels. 🥰

@thecozybuckeye 4 ай бұрын

Hello! That rabbit holds a special place in my heart. I do love the way the chenille yarns feel. I just really hate how they shed, lol. My Michaels never has very many colors to choose from either. It's really unfortunate. It's so great to see your comment as I love watching your videos too and all of your sweet makes.

@awestruckcrochet 4 ай бұрын

@thecozybuckeye the shedding is the worst for sure! Parfait chunky sheds a lot for me too. 😞 I feel like I end up wearing more yarn than I crocheted with 😂 I usually order online for michaels. I don't live close by one, unfortunately.

I'm right there with you when it comes to the joys of getting older. Let's just say I was born in the very early 80's and graduated high school in the very late 90's. Can't decide if I want to embrace the gray or cover it up although I'm expecting much more of it now that my son has turned into a crazy teenager! It's also so funny that you are working the MMM Rainbow blanket b/c I'm getting ready to purchase that pattern myself. I also want to try their Phoenix Rainbow Blanket pattern as well; are you going to? Thanks again for keeping me company with your videos during my own market prep. I've had numerous custom orders this week and I know all too well how it feels to look longingly at the patterns you WANT to be working on while you're trying to keep powering through on the things you NEED to be working on. Hang in there sister - you're not alone! 🙂

@thecozybuckeye 4 ай бұрын

Hey Kim! Thank you for your message. I guess I'm a few years older than you, ha-ha. My stepdaughter is a cosmetologist so sitting in her chair gives us a chance to catch up. Not to mention, she gives me a HUGE discount. So, I will probably keep fighting my gray for a while, lol. To answer your question, I'm sure I will make the Phoenix Rainbow Blanket at some point because I love anything rainbow. We will just keep plugging along with our market prep. See you next week!

Hi April! Happy August! for plushie patterns, I am trying to make mascots for all of my kids schools. I have a high school Lion. I have tried three patterns and none have came out looking good. I have a college kid at Chico State (Wildcat), a recent graduate from UC Santa Barbara. The mascot is a Gaucho, over the years it as evolved to a raccoon wearing a sombrero, and we have a close friend at University of Oregon (Ducks). The only one I have tried is a lion and none have come out looking great. I wanted to make Lions and give them to the seniors from my daughters tennis team so they can remember the fun times from the team once they move on to college. I envisioned a cute plushie lion with a tennis dress and maybe a red L on the dress or something (school colors are cardinal and gold). anyway. I am not hopeful that I will find a pattern easy enough that will work up quick enough (banquet is in November). Anny advice or suggestions you have send them my way.

The jellyfish is fantastically cute, - I love, love, love it. And I prefer the small one to the big, - also because of the colors of the tentacles. When it comes to hair, - I let my hair turn gray with pride up until 2015 when I suddenly turned white. Then I got "scared", - so I started dyeing it. But I actually soon regretted not staying proud of the gray/white hair, - that I had let me get affected of it negatively, - so when Covid came, I saw it as an opportunity to go back to natural. And I had dyed it darker than yours, so the difference was REALLY big, but after 4-5 months my friend got me to the hairdresser to make the long hair close to the grayish new hair, and it turned out quite well, - and now I am back to natural, as you have seen, and I am at peace with myself hehe... And how cute is that wolf, - adorable 🥰 I can´t wait to see your Q&A and your husband. That´s great 🙂. And those capes are so cute, and the story about helping the families with premature babies, so that they are heroes in the family... awesome.

I don't have listings for plushies on my Etsy. I normally just sell hats and save the plushies for the markets. If you want to buy this duck, I can create a listing for you to purchase it on Etsy. It would be $35 plus shipping. If so send me an email to thecozybuckeye@gmail.com and I will create the listing. I'm sorry about your fur baby. I know it's hard to say goodbye to our babies. I've had to do it a few times over the years. My current babies are getting older, and I don't even want to think about it. Thank you for your message. Have a great day!
