The Green Bean Podcast Episode 68

[@michellenokken2597]

A puzzle with your images - a real sign of John's Arbon's appreciation of your work. Cross-stitch patterns or even puzzles might be an addition to your shop one day.

[@mokepemberley4525]

I am new to your series and am enjoying that you share many different crafts/art processes. I just purchased the mushroom sock pattern and like it so much I bought a second for a friend! 😊 Glad to have found you! 👋🏼

[@lynnniemi3053]

very inspiring how you looked at your misadventure as a way to try a new craft and as always, I really enjoyed seeing your processes. Plus, seeing you and Jack out on the land - what river or stream is that? The water looks so pure and clear - I think the colors there are ingrained in your soul!

[@mfnannygram]

Ouch! Glad your finger is healing. Thank goodness for crafts we can do one-handed. I recently broke my wrist, so no knitting for me at the moment either. Instead, I'm trying watercolor and having so much fun with it. Maybe I should give cross stitch a try, too!

[@elizabethherman6822]

Oh my Katie! Your poor finger. I've sewed into my fingernail but was able to back out the needle. Nothing compared to what happened to you. Feel better soon. I love your podcasts and find them so relaxing when I'm feeling stressed. I love little Jack. What kind of dog is he? 😊❤

[@SoniaBoudeau]

Hello Katie, je suis contente pour vous que malgré les calvaires vous vous êtes sortie. Du fait que vous avez dessiné et autres activités...portez vous bien. Votre Jack est très affectueux 😊🖐️🌹

[@dianehigham1293]

Katie, how serendipitous that they found the other bit! Had a similar experience with a toe and a carpet - I'll leave it there xxx

[@grwhryrpltd]

love all your crafting katie! continued health and healing to you! 💚

[@lisacotter6227]

Cross stitch patterns and wool felt appliqué….yes, please!

[@sharonsouthey3235]

Sorry to hear about your finger Katie, but am loving your crafts today❤️ I felt that when you slipped on your walk, I’ve done it a few times on Dartmoor ! Kits would be great, I love your work so much. Your jumper you are wearing makes me want to knit it so much, but I still haven’t started the woodland cardi . I have the kit from John Arbon, I think it’s the steeking that is frightening me lol. Could you tell me the name of the jumper please, I’ve forgotten? Thank you another lovely vlog, so good for well-being and mental health for me and hopefully lots of other crafters. Take care xx

[@RavenStealstheNight]

My word, Katie. This sounds really traumatic. I, myself have medical trauma, ptsd. Whenever I go to surgeries, even hospital visits, I get really afraid. I've been given some medicine to help me to relax before any procedures. I so happy and grateful that the last group of medical people helped you and were so understanding of your situation. I'm glad you're on the mend. Love your artistry.

[@alysonrodrigues122]

O M Ds... so glad your finger is ok and healing well. It must've been so traumatic.... Loving the frog theme and just want to say thanks for sharing your change of heart and recreating the painted frog scene into a felt picture. Really clever. Jack seems to be growing more and more grey hair. As usual he is just adorable. Take care Katie. 😊

[@heathertucker7056]

Oh dear Katie! Who knew sewing was so dangerous! I’m so sorry you sustained this injury but pleased to hear you are on the mend. Turning your art work into puzzles and perhaps cross stitch is a genius idea! Take care and thank you for a lovely episode today (and tickles for Jack x)

[@carolyne1419]

Thank you so much for your videos. Love them so much : comforting and motivating. Take great care of yourself

[@Chwl78]

Yes to turning your designs into cross stitch patterns! I would love to stitch them. Hope your finger is better now ❤ all the best from the West Country

[@benteossiansson1453]

❤❤❤

[@gailfirenze4760]

So sorry to hear about your accident. I hope it heals really quickly with no permanent problems. I do lots of cross stitch and have often thought I’d like to do some of your lovely illustrations. I do hope you go ahead with it. Also your appliqué is looking so good. Would you consider doing little kits. I’d really like to buy some of each, both cross stitch and appliqué designs if you do create them. Blessings Gail.🙋🏼‍♀️🇦🇺

[@Kim_Karr]

Firstly, I wish you a complete and as painless of a healing as possible for your injury. Secondly I love the idea of your artwork as a jigsaw puzzle! 🎉 Personally I think your sheep tea towel would make a delightful puzzle also. ❤ Kudos to you for finding other outlets for your creativity-I’m struggling with arthritis in my dominant hand and am having trouble finding other things to do from my knitting & crochet.

[@patricialoux5193]

All your projects, no matter what art or craft, are beautiful and inspiring! I hope your finger heals quickly!

[@carolgarner5971]

I am happy your finger is on the mend

[@janaburdova645]

Hello Katie, thank you for another beautiful podcast. I think I need some cases with frogs too 🤩

[@hollyrust2174]

Oh so very sorry about your poor finger! I hollered out loud when you explained what happened; my husband came to see what was wrong. Glad it’s healing up and not keeping you from creating in another way. I do think I need to go to your shop and see what’s new to place an order. Lovely episode - so relaxing and inspirational!

[@irenejackson4193]

Thank you Katie for this lovely podcast as always, apart from your mishap with your sewing machine. Take care xx

[@Bobbieliz]

Talk about a Cautionary Tale! ..that sure is one, and though you went through "sturm und drang" multiplied, I'm so glad that you will have a good outcome, AND you have brought attention and a reminder to the possibility for those of us who sew.

[@KariEngblom-Youkey]

Loved the unexpected craft inspirations! Wishing you a quick healing and creative inspiration while you heal❤.

[@zoedoodle]

I'm so sorry to hear about what you went through with your sewing related injury. On top of the trauma, it's scary because those of us who use our hands for crafty stuff, know how an injury like that can put a huge crimp in our creative endeavors. But those of us who are poly-amorous crafters, have lots of options and ways to entertain ourselves! I love seeing how you envision past projects into new creations I look forward to seeing how your felt applique progresses. I love it so far.

[@pennyfawcett3643]

That is very scary what happened to your finger, thankfully it wasn’t worse! I too am waylaid from knitting as I broke both wrists in January and I’m not back to 100% mobility or strength yet. I have however picked up cross stitch again as my right hand is able to do much more than my left at this point. Like you I’m happy to have a craft that I’m able to manage and enjoy! I’d love to see your work in digital cross stitch! I can imagine a lot of your followers would as well. Take care and don’t push yourself too much after your bandages come off. Slow and steady is a good motto for healing. 💕

[@pammace3820]

Thank you for another great video. I wish your finger a speedy recovery.

[@lauraginesi4230]

I’m glad to hear that you were well looked after and that the surgery was successful. Wishing you a very speedy recovery. My daughter (who isn’t neurotypical either) managed to skewer herself with a knitting needle last year! NHS turned up trumps then too. 👏👏

[@hazelmorris678]

Aww Katie hope you are feeling better after your nasty accident. Love your cross stitch and o wow that felt project 😊great idea to design a cross stitch with one of your wonderful drawings. Maybe a felt project also. Happy crafting x

[@colleen2503]

Katie, your cross stitch, painting and wool appliqué could never be disappointing to us! You are so wonderfully talented in everything you do. As someone who also does wool appliqué, it was inspiring to see your tiny perfect stitches. I can see that I need to slow down and stitch more carefully! I’m so sorry your sewing machine went on the attack. How awful to have to go through 3 days before getting the surgery. I’m hoping for a back to normal outcome for you. Meanwhile, Jack is certainly your emotional support being. So much love there between you. Also, you and Jack please be careful on those slippery rocks! There was a lot of cringing going on here as I was watching! I hope neither of you got hurt. ❤ 🐶

[@elizabethrutledge8182]

Oh dearsies Katie - you have been in the wars! I think the shock of an accident like that is awful 😣 but I’m so pleased that you’re on the mend and able to see it in a positive light!! You’re right about your cross stitch being a memory of the time - maybe you should hang it close to your sewing machine as a reminder ?

[@victoriamakes]

I share your love of Dartmoor and am inspired by your lovely vlogs thanks

[@carolbulmer8253]

Hi, Katie. I’m glad that your finger received the medical attention that was needed… poor you to go through that painful injury😔 I love the puzzle that John Arbon had produced of your drawings. I also love puzzles. The frog cross stitch is very cute… so is the magnifying glass pouch that you are making. Take care… see you later❤️

[@StitchyJam_Knitting_Podcast]

Oh Katie, what an ordeal! I am glad you are ok and recovering well. I would LOVE to have some cross stitch projects of your designs, how lovely. What a fabulous episode, great to see you drawing again as well. Take care, J :)

[@blue-penmisty-dawn3682]

Sorry about your finger. Thanks so much for sharing your felt technique!!😊 Blessings.

[@Tineke-b8c]

Katie, your video’s are so Nice. I am from the Netherlands and Jack is so cute.

[@wendyroberts4769]

Oh my goodness Katie! I've had a fear of doing the very same thing for as long as I've owned a sewing machine. I hope it heals well and quickly. Loving the froggy cross stitch. 🐸

[@woolenbluebird]

Your appliqué is so delightful. I’m so sorry about your finger injury jury. You handled it with such positivity. Sending hugs.

[@carlenehall2979]

I enjoyed hearing you tell how cross stitching calms you and you love working on a puzzle while listening to an audiobook, that’s two of my favorite things to occupy my time! I agree with you totally Katie! Take care of that finger!

[@deborahcherry1735]

Didn’t even think the injury was possible.glad your healing

[@vijikodi1131]

Wishing you speedy recovery.. get well soon.. Do be careful too while walking.. you did have a fall...stay safe

[@mojow9841]

I do hope your finger gets better soon. Thank for sharing your other crafting skills. The thought of being able to cross stitch or embroider your sheep got me excited, it would be fun to do. I bet that water was cold when you put your foot in it. I always enjoy the glimpses into your world.

[@mariejohnson5428]

Thank you for another lovely podcast, sorry to hear of your injury though. Please could I ask what the ring is called that you have your embroidery silks on? Best wishes for a speedy recovery. 😊

[@judithmurdoch2549]

Sorry to hear about your finger. Talk about suffering for your art. Lovely to catch up with you again. X

[@xusblasco5563]

Oh Katie, the ways of creativity... It’s reassuring to see you blooming crafty wise! I wondered why you didn’t have your art turned into puzzles, so kudos to John Arbon!!! Sending healing wishes, thanks for sharing your amazing projects 🪁💚

[@heatheranderson5668]

I absolutely love both your new projects--those are both crafts I quite enjoy. I'm so sorry about your finger. :( Hope you feel 100% soon. And ooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! I LOVE, LOVE the idea of your turning some of your designs into cross stich patterns!! :)

[@sewjackyo795]

I love your thank you cards that come with orders. I keep them and use them as book marks in my craft books. I hope your finger heals well. ❤❤

[@huntersun9]

What a restful meditation you are. And the shot of the stones in the water at 35:27 is so lovely, I wish I had a poster of it for my craft room. I'm so sorry you went through that finger trauma, but even with an injured paw, your work is beautiful as always. I love that felt froggie. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.

[@sueburrow8786]

I hope your finger gets better soon. Thank you for a lovely episode. I especially liked the felt applique frog.

[@loispatrick2594]

I'm sorry you injured yourself Katie, but am glad you got the help you needed and are now healing. I live in Australia and as a person living with multiple comorditities I am always grateful for the health care system we have here as well! When I first started getting sick it took the doctors 8 years before they could give me a probable diagnosis. This time was spent weekly seeing multiple doctors, being in hospital and having multitudes of tests. With all the time I spent in waiting rooms, I decided to knit a Lizard Ridge Blanket to turn what was a very traumatic, unpleasant 8 years, into something productive, positive and useful. I do have one naughty thing to report about my blanket though......I still haven't sewn all the squares together or finished the border all these years later! I really must get on with it. We can't rush these things though can we! 😂

[@winoakey2112]

Speedy recovery Katie.

[@lynettedaniels1236]

I hope you have a complete recovery from your injury. Thank goodness for good care and our bodies ability to heal.

[@janemarriott3389]

Wishing you "good healing" and ease. The hooded jumper is maximum brilliant!

[@viviennemartin5067]

Ouch your poor finger, glad it's on the mend. Love your projects you are working on. It would be great if you could turn some of your drawings onto designs 😊 x

[@suebrown436]

So sorry about your injury, Katie and hope all is well when the bandage comes off. Love seeing your other projects, and as a very keen cross-stitcher I really hope you will convert some of your artwork into cross-stitch.

[@carolgwilliam7355]

Oh Katie, you poor thing. What an horrific story, thanks for the warning, and I really hope you’re now fully recovered. Your cross stitch is beautiful, prefer your colour choice to the original. I love cross stitching along with a good audio book, really soothes an anxious mind. Felt frog is also beautiful, your attention to detail (even with a poorly finger) is amazing. Thank you for brightening another rainy day in South Wales!

[@deborahjean3816]

Ouch!! But glad it was a reasonably good outcoe for your finger. I absolutely live wartching your processes especially since they aren’t mediums I have experience with. Very meditative and so interesting, especially your working with inks rather than watercolor. Beautiful walk with you and Jack and appreciate your sharing it all. 🙏🏻💗

[@aleiscessna5331]

Love all your projects you’ve picked up to do since your injury! Hope you are healing well!

[@patriciagillis1009]

Thank you I find the ambience you radiate quite peaceful.

[@sunnyw4148]

Your stitching is beautiful whether cross stitch or applique. Maybe I need a case for my magnifying glass. I can't thread my sewing machine needle without it. Off sewing for a couple of days. Take the time to heal. Glad you found new projects for an outlet.

[@barbaraoudejans7611]

Take care, Katy! Loved this video! Can you tell me what kind of ink and pencils you use for your art? I recently started drawing and don’t know what kind of material I would like to use. Thanks! 😊

[@Woodland1234]

Great idea about turning your into cross stitch pattern❤. Sorry to hear about your finger😵‍💫.

[@dorkbaitart]

Hi Katie!! You mentioned you're using calligraphy inks for your paintings; are they acrylic inks like the Daler-Rowney ones? I've been making foray into inking with cartridge pens and coloring with markers and I've been paying a great deal of attention to which brands of ink are more and less bleedproof. I've been enjoying using the Herbin inks, which are definitely not entirely water or alcohol-proof, but I like the effect they give. Anyway, just curious, since my calligraphy inks are definitely not waterproof!
