Beautiful squares and appliqués, blankets are awesome 😊

[@CraftyFloridian]

Thank you! 😊

[@suebigger5097]

I love to hear your family stories. They are very interesting.

[@roserenik6375]

Billie, it is a rainbow 🌈, put it in a lower corner of a square over a pot of gold. ❤❤beautiful squares for the Boggy blankets. Love to hear your stories. When I am visiting with someone I leave my phone on vibrate , and don't look at it unless I go to the restroom. That is what should be done, they are called manners. No Billie I am 63. Still like words of wisdom, love your stories.

[@donnacooper3838]

Rainbow for the end of rainbow. St Patrick blankets. Yes. Yes. You got it. For the squares to apply.

[@gioiacasterline4835]

You deserve the best Miss Billie. Hope they get this all resolved for you.

[@dremakazee8305]

[@CraftyFloridian]

Thank you so much!

[@DeniseECrochetandYarnAddict]

Ms. Billie, I must say, you have aged wonderfully, I would never have known you were almost 80! If I had to guess I would have thought you were my age (57). Such a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul! I've never been good at relationships, not because of a phone, but because I have just always been so wrapped up with my family that I just never made time to meet people outside my family. I think you would be a fabulous grandmother. I have been blessed with 9 grandchildren and one on the way in September. And my only son has never fathered a child. Adopted or not, I love every one of those children with every inch of my heart and i am so certain you are the same. Sometimes family is chosen and sometimes that is even more beautiful!

[@CraftyFloridian]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@angrypanda5042]

[@starbrown940]

No Buttons! They catch in the wash. Shannon asked last year and they said no. Pretty sure Google eyes are the same. Sorry to be a nay-sayer but these are supposed to be kid friendly and washable. You rock Billie!!

[@roxannapurcell7305]

Hi Billie, great seeing you as usual , all the blankets look great. You have a lot of squares to keep you busy this week. Love hearing your life stories, my family also play cards to the wee hours of the morning but we play penny ante poker. LOL Have a great week and looking forward to the next video.

[@CraftyFloridian]

We use to play poker with my uncles..

[@YarnWithHeart]

Great to hear that your health has improved and will continue getting better & better. Some days (especially with my gray hair), I might seem like a smart cookie, but really I need all the words of wisdom that I can get. LOL Thank you so much for everything you share on your videos.

[@DianEnglish56]

Hi Miss Billie, your Boggy blankets are so Cute! So many creative squares! 🧶🫂

[@CraftyFloridian]

Looking forward to seeing the neon blanket..

[@tiahill832]

Very pretty squares and blankets! And yes, do things while you are able, you never know what tomorrow may bring. I do the same thing with some friends, I am tired of always being the one reaching out so I quit!! That Eliquis is always putting me in the donut hole too. It is ridiculous! Glad you are doing well after that surgery!! Continued prayers! Have a great rest of your weekend! 🙏❤😘🙂

[@CraftyFloridian]

Thank you so much..

[@johnascrochetjourney878]

Hi Billie. Loved your video, as always. No truer words have been spoken. I am 50 and already know that life is too short, and you need to enjoy it every day. Also. last month I lost my Mom and watching you brings me more comfort than you know. Take care and see you next time.

[@CraftyFloridian]

You are so welcome!

[@infinitelyzero]

thanks for sharing and showing the squares. I love the skulls!! I'm also here crocheting on a Sat night.

[@infinitelyzero]

@@CraftyFloridian thank you. :)

[@terrestreasures9138]

Thank you Miss Billie. I really enjoy your videos and I’m glad you’re feeling better.

[@CraftyFloridian]

Thank you so much!

[@theregretfulyarnaddict6668]

Billie, I enjoy your stories. Wouldn't mnd if you ended all your videows with a 5 or 10 minute story. Love you :)

[@TildaHolzberg]

Enjoy your cuppa 😃

[@craftyt333]

Always great to see you! Wow what an amazing group of creators! Took your idea and run!

[@CraftyFloridian]

I think so too!

[@ginnyc]

Great job on all your blankets. Very creative edging. Its interesting you used orange with the St Patrick's day blanket. I don't know if you know the history of the colors, but Catholic Irish wore green, but Protestant wore orange. My Mom, who was raised Catholic ( by parents born in Ireland) was very insistent on not wearing orange on St Patrick's day! Seeing orange brought back that memory. My Mom has been gone over 35 yrs, so it was nice to think of her today. Thanks for that. 😊💚🤍🧡🍀💚🤍🧡

[@KristinF3246]

No way would landlords be able to get away with that in California! We may have a lot of regulations but they are intended to protect a tenant from management neglect. Stay on them to make sure they rectify the situation and move you to a safe and healthy living environment. You are entitled to it! Your health is important and I am happy your doctors are helping you get the medication you need. Big hugs 🤗❤️🧶

[@CraftyFloridian]

Big hugs back at you...

[@carlottacrochets]

I'm 44 and would love to hear your words of wisdom at the end of your videos (:

[@judypine7467]

Maybe put a rainbow on a square above a square with a pot of gold.

[@dianedodge2810]

Enjoyed your chat…have a great weekend

[@CraftyFloridian]

Thank you! You too!

[@SandyYurkinsPowers]

OMG! 80?!!! you don;t look any where that age! lucky you...must be good genes as they say. lol. i love when you talk about your childhood. keep doing it even though it;s not crochet. i;ve got some squares coming to you. But i;m afraid to mail them to you. I;ve been watching and i see some of the squares are 5 rows. which mine are for the 6inches. but i see a lot with the 6 rows. which would you rather the 5row or 6 row squares? thank you so much for letting us help with the making of these squares.

[@CraftyFloridian]

Taking 6 inch squares..

[@julieann5196]

Hi Billie, new subscriber here. I love all the squares everyone sent, they are so pretty! Love your story. I see that a lot, people sitting together and not saying anything to each other, just looking at their phones. Glad your doctor could help with you getting your prescription.

[@CraftyFloridian]

Thanks for subbing!

Eliquis made my hair fall out, am on xeralto now. Glad you got help financially as it’s really expensive and no generic. So happy you got a good report from the cardiologist. Sorry, your apartments have such poor maintenance. Been there done that. Luckily where I am now is very attentive. The squares with buttons are adorable.

[@CraftyFloridian]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@suebigger5097]

Billie where are you??? I’m worried about you!! Please let us hear from you 🥰

[@gaylesurprise9669]

I know exactly what you’re saying with the thank you, I watch a podcaster who dyes and sells yarn, alway buy from them and also get the advent for Xmas they have, however you never get a thank you. Why do I still buy from them, 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@sewwebbofyarn9602]

What size hook do you use for the 6 inch squares? Enjoy watching your videos!

[@kaye-q1k]

Did you take some items to that store for artisans?

[@CraftyFloridian]

No, they move or closed their store.
