[@MeadowAfternoon]

Thank you for joining me for this new episode! Let me know which project/segment was your favorite and which type of strawberries do you think did think hobbits eat?

[@karenbrooks7197]

Oh how I love every issue of Meadow Afternoon ❤🍓. The cross stitch segment was my favourite as it's a hobby I enjoy myself. Really needed this today to help me relax and lose myself in half an hour (or more) of loveliness. Thank you Ida, your content is always exquisite, interesting, comforting and inspiring. ❤🤗

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Hello Karen, Thank you so much for your kind comments!!! I am very glad that you are finding the videos relaxing and enjoyable. Cross stitch is one of my favourite hobbies as well 😊 You encourage me to make more videos🌸

Oh my gosh this vlog is so precious, thank you so so so much Ida for not only making 1.... and not even 2....but THREE of my little turnips. I could cry, you've made them so beautifully and to hear that you learned more about crochet in the process is such a beautiful gift. Thank you ♡

[@MeadowAfternoon]

The turnips were more than a little addictive. I had to force myself to stop at three - I wanted to keep going :)

[@willettejackson979]

Love your short stories. They are enjoyable. Thanks 😊

[@MeadowAfternoon]

[@christinebell8980]

Loved the strawberry theme. My fave section is always the story, but I loved them all. Thanks for a lovely video.

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Thank you as always Christine. I'm glad you enjoy the stories, I think they are the heart of each video.

I have wild strawberries in my sheffield garden. I usually pull them up as they tend to grow like weeds, but I might plant some in a pot for next year and see how they grow. I love the detail and work that goes into your journal. ✨️ Thanks, Ida. 😊

[@MeadowAfternoon]

That sounds like a cool idea!

My sister gave me for my birthday a couple of years ago Ohuhu brush pens, I like that they're soft and ink doesn't bleed.

[@MeadowAfternoon]

That was a lovely present 🌿 I always enjoying colouring with my Ohuhu markers.

Another amazing video ! Loved it 😍I just loved the cross stitch and the crochet turnips sooo cute!! Always a great time watching your issues 💞

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Thank you so much!! The crochet turnips were super fun to work. I am looking to practicing crochet more.

Hello my dear, This video was perfect to get lost in on a quiet and peaceful Sunday. I'm feeling under the weather today and I'm sure some of your fruit tarts are just the medicine I need - where can I order an oven-warm batch of them 😉🧡 I've always wanted to try my hand at cross stitching too, but somehow never got around to it - this was just the inspiration and motivation I needed to give it a go, as you make it look like a fun and relaxing activity! Have a blessed Sunday 🤗

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Hello Nessa, Sorry to hear you are not feeling well, I hope you're on the mend now. I would happily send over a batch of tarts but I think the postal service may make a mess of them :) I personally find cross stitching really relaxing - it's like doing a jigsaw puzzle, filling on all the colours with thread. What sort of design would you like to work on? Have a lovely Sunday as well.

[@jackiegates8196]

Another lovely video, thank you. I especially liked the advice about using alcohol markers, I’ll be practicing using your tips. The fruit tarts looked delicious, I haven’t made the custard ones before so will have to give them a go. Looking forward to the next video as there is so much in them that inspires me 😊

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Custard fruit tarts are my favourite :) I am very happy that you enjoy the videos, thank you for your kind comments. Have fun colouring.

[@XeniaSketchbookPages]

I usually draw my own illustrations. But coloring the prints looks so relaxing ❤ Maybe I will try it one day...

[@MeadowAfternoon]

I draw my own as well but there's also something nice and relaxing about colouring in pre-drawn illustrations. I don't need to think about anything other than picking colours. It's nice to mix things up every now and then 🌿

[@XeniaSketchbookPages]

​@@MeadowAfternoon It sounds like a meditative process ❤

[@chachaneen]

I thoroughly enjoyed each segment especially the cross stitch as that is the medium that I also use. We are currently in peach season so I intend to bake something tart based on your strawberry theme.

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Oh a peach tart sounds yummy. I enjoy having a cross stitch pattern on the go, it's really relaxing 😊

[@AfricancoolChic]

Lovely video ❤ I find your videos peaceful and I feel like I always learn something. Will we ever be able to get a living room or craft room tour?

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Thank you so much:) Oh a craft room tour would be fun, I will add the suggestion to my list of filming ideas.

[@AfricancoolChic]

@@MeadowAfternoon yay 🎊

Hello!

[@MeadowAfternoon]

Hello😊

[@sarahannalise3849]

This video is wonderful, thank you! ... what is the recipe for the tart dough though? 🌿🌸🍓✨

[@MeadowAfternoon]

I am very glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for your kind comment. I don't have a recipe out yet for the pastry dough but it was an olive oil pastry. You combine white flour, a pinch of salt, a bit of sugar (depending on how sweet you like your pastry), a dash of water and then add olive oil, a little bit at a time and combine until the mixture forms into a dough. I hope that's helpful 🍓🍓🍓
