Good morning everyone. It's been an interesting week. I had a list of things to do and I chucked it out the window to take a step back and enjoy some time in my sewing room. I hope you can find the same joy in yours today too.

I really enjoy your KZbin sewing videos!! I’m 70 and have been quilting for about 15 years snd sewing since I was a teenager. It’s given me many hours of enjoyment and family and friends many gifts… Something I changed in my quilting was not giving small baby crib quilts for baby gifts. I realized that after a few months Moms we’re putting them up in their cupboards and my work was sort of being wasted. So after that instead I made lap size quilts and used more trendy fabrics that would be able to go with the child throughout their lifetime- even to college. I also embroidered the child’s name and birthdate subtly somewhere on the quilt. These “baby” quilts have been a huge hit and the Moms are using them on their children’s beds as they are growing up. I’m feeling like they are really being used and appreciated!!!!!

Hey that purple quilt is going to be gorgeous!!! Mando ...... Goodness puppy!!! They are like toddlers and day care is good for his social skills as well as your breathing room!! My daughter subscribed to your channel and she is now inspired! We spent last night organizing her fabric, looking at improv quilts and trying to decide what she is going to make. We had a blast!!! Snuggle Mando for us and it is good to see you!!!!

I never understand why people get a dog without realising the effort that is needed. I have three large dogs that need at least an hour a day free running exercise. I don’t go near my sewing room until the dogs and I have had our daily walk. The benefits of being out in the fresh air do more for my mental and physical health than anything else, be it with my dogs or horses. I can then get ‘lost’ in my sewing and be creative.

When I got the last puppy it was so naughty for 6 months I kept saying I think it has to go back! Now I would not be without him. He loves the sewing room. He is great company while I am sewing. He mainly just snoozes next to me while I sit and stitch. Actually at the moment I have 3 puppies and a cat all snoozing in the sewing room. All of which my daughter brought home. I love them. But I remember those tough days. All I can say Karen is like everything it won't last. Soon he will be a wonderful faithful companion.

Oh Karren, the joy of “baby” pets! They are delightful, however, like any “baby” require/demand so much of our attention! My dear daughter in law found a doggy day care for their extremely boisterous, 8 month old husky mix. She is a beautiful and very friendly dog who is a bundle of energy. Carrie was hesitant to use a doggy day care, thinking she “should” be able to train the puppy on her own. She tried a doggy day care and Luna LOVED it! She has “friends” to play with. The owner of the centre cuts their nails (if requested) will bathe the dogs, etc. It is the best thing since sliced bread! I’m sure Mandolin has a great time! When Luna comes home she eats and falls asleep, the next day she sleeps most of the day. It’s a good thing for both dog and owner(s).

You are such an inspiration Karen! And you are right, sewing is good for you (and cheaper than a therapist!). Love your 30 min. time blocks. It seems we figure if we don't have hours to work on something, we don't work on it at all. 30 minutes here and there will eventually get the project done. Good work.

I really enjoyed this video and happy to hear you were able to get some time to wind down and enjoy yourself sewing. It does help me but I've found that I have to have the room clear and be organised and then I can sew without the stress, that put upon myself most times to get things finished.. A few years ago my son died suddenly and I was lost but bit by bit I started to sew for babies then children then teenagers in the family. It was great for me to give them something and it certainly gave back to me. I've no friends as such outside my family so listening to the women on here who sew has been a my for me esp through the covid lockdowns. I can never thank you all enough and the chance to read others comments in the video I've just watched. ❤️☘️

My heart is with you. I lost my oldest daughter many years ago. She was 17. It changes you. I am so glad for you that you have been able to find some peace in being creative by sewing. Those of us who are in your shoes know that finding something to feel positive about is hugely important. Sewing can be freeing in a way. Time will help too. Life does move forward,, it’s never the same but it still can be wonderful. Hold onto that hope. If you ever need someone I’m here for you. Just reach out. People don’t know how to walk through that door unless you ask them but if you ask you will find a world of people willing to help! I’ll keep you in my prayers.

I too lost a daughter (at 32) to breast cancer, and then my mother a month later (they were both in different hospitals at the same time). Moving forward has been very difficult, but I have gotten back into some garment sewing and now am a “new” quilter (hence my presence here!). Sewing does free the spirit - plus being blessed with a first grandchild gives me someone to sew and quilt for!

I love your honesty with your struggles - although I wish you were having less of them. We all have them and it helps us realize we aren't alone. After 5 years in retirement, I am working part time again with deadlines and I missing all my free hours to sew. The other day when I finished work I was so tired I felt I needed a nap --- but I'd also desperately been feeling the need to start piecing a new project. I quickly pulled my fabric for an easy strip tube quilt and sewed for an hour or so - and it was so wonderful! Sewing can be so restorative. I loved seeing all of your different projects; you are an inspiration.

I used to have a small dog daycare within a 5 minute walk from home. When I was working on a deadline or needed a few hours to focus on things, that's where the boys went. Unfortunately, the daycare has now moved out of the neighbourhood: in order to take advantage of it, I have to walk to my car (thank you urban parking), drive to the daycare and back to park, then walk home. Not an efficient use of time but a couple of days of week worth of 'free time' really pays off. You got so much accomplished. Bravo!

Great video! Why is it so satisfying to watch someone else working? LOL! I love the 30-minute rule. In the past I would usually set aside an afternoon or whatever and sewed until I was burned out and so sick of a project that it was a while before I returned to it. I would also think of all the things I DIDN'T get done and I would resent the time my sewing took up in one day. Taking 30 minutes a day has kept me sane. I hadn't thought about using the 30-minute rule to work through a longer sewing time.

Great Vlog Karen. Thank you for showing us that self care is so important and that sewing is therapeutic. I’m amazed how I can feel blah and brain fog sets in but if I just get sewing it renews my sense of purpose.

I love the beginning of this video and had to watch it several times!! 💜🐾 My dog, Howie, is very mischievous and I wasn’t sure he and I were going to make it together! 🤣 He’s 5 yrs old now and slowing down slightly, but still has the tendency to cause a little trouble to keep me on my toes and shaking my head! Thanks for the chuckle! 😊

Appreciate your honesty on the importance of mental health. Quilting feeds my soul! My dog is older now and is happy on her quilt in my sewing room. Doggie day care is great.

I send my dachshund to doggie daycare....still feel guilty after 8 years but it is invaluable for my mental health and sanity. Once he gets there he doesn't even look back...off to see his friends and having his best day ever!

This video made me think of me with my two year old son. And I find if I can give myself some time to sew then I’m able to give myself enough ME time to give him the QUALITY of time he needs from ME! It’s a win-win 🏆

Thanks Karen for the reminder to have fun. I have so many things on my to do list I have inadvertently traded what used to be fun to ticking off chores! Then wondered why my mental health has declined. I recently heard that the opposite of play is depression and not rest. Your video was a timely reminder to go back to fun. Thanks for your honesty and realness K

Having a dog is like having a three year old. Time consuming, always checking up on them when it gets too quiet and full of JOY. I love your utube videos. Lots of helpful ideas and very positive energy.

I too sent my puppy to doggie daycare after I started a new job where I worked from home two days a week. He was able to get all of his energy out those two days and he stopped tearing things up and looking for things to destroy. Daycare was the best thing for him and I highly recommend it to all dog owners. He is now four and has finally calmed down. He now only goes to daycare once a week.

Being hyperactive (still at age 72) and goal oriented, one of my biggest failings is to just slow down. This video is a great reminder for me to do just that. You did it and still accomplished a lot. Thank you.

Doggie Daycares are so good for dogs' socialization, especially if they don't have siblings. So good that DD and family are giving Karen some extra time, too.

Just two days ago I sent a large quilt off to the long-armer. So before I begin another big project, you've inspired me to take a look at (and hopefully work on, or finish) some of the UFO's that I've socked away in my sewing room. Every so often my organizational skills need a kick-start, and your video was just what I needed! BTW, I have a 13-year old dog named Cooper who spends most of his time in the recliner in my sewing room. I originally put that chair in so when I need a break, I could have a little reading corner, but it's mostly a Cooper corner. But that's OK. 😍

Make sure you get your dog's bordetella shots every 6 months instead of every year. We've had an outbreak of kennel cough in our area and people were only getting their shots every year not realizing when you go to doggie daycare you need it every 6 months. Thank you for all that you do in keeping us engaged in sewing.
