Elise. Thanks for bringing the colon cancer awareness to the forefront. My mother died from colon cancer. I love all your videos Thanks for sharing hugs and love my dear friend 😊

Elise, just a little tip from someone who have watched a lot of crochet tutorials. When filming a tutorial or showing us details, use a solid color table/background, preferably white. It is so much easier for the viewer to see. I noticed your tablecloth had a lot of patterns and colors, it’s difficult to se what you are trying to show. No negativity, just a tip 😊

Thank you for putting yourself out there, Elise! Your video resonated with me on so many levels - the "squirrel brain" of a mom to kids who are trying to launch (but still need their mom), aging parents with health issues, our own health maintenance, pets (and husbands😅), and trying to carve out a little time for our own interests. You do it with grace, beauty and authenticity. Thank you again.

You are so creative! Life is definitely busy! For me too! My daughter and granddaughter live with me. My Mom called a week ago Wednesday evening and I took her to emergency room here. They took her by ambulance to Nashville Vanderbilt hospital and did surgery next day. A friend from Nashville went to be with her while I stayed home to take care of my handicapped brother. She is home now and doing well. She was getting ready for a yard sale when it happened. We have worked on it all week. Will have next Friday and Saturday. My sister got back from her daughter's in Indiana and has been staying nites as she works and I am staying days. Family is definitely first! It is a lot of coordination to get it all done but I love my family as you do and we do it! I love, love, love your projects. Hope to make my grandchildren and great grandchildren, and great nephew gifts for Christmas. A horse, a zebra, doll clothes. Taking it one day at a time...lol!! The leaves are changing here in Tennessee and beautiful!

I love your little kitten. Thanks for shedding light on the need for colonoscopies. I hope your mom heals quickly from her surgery.

Hi Elise Thank you so much for sharing the behind the scenes, it is very enlightening to see and know that many people have to juggle whilst trying not to drop the balls in the air 😉 My family is blessed we are a large group and we are all there to help each other, especially my Nana who has been unwell the last few weeks. I wish your Mum a speedy recovery. You remind me of myself when I tell my kitty Cats not to scratch up the carpet or furniture 😂 Enjoy your trips with your Son - you definitely have some gorgeous scenery. Everyone definitely should look after there health and be aware of what’s going on within their bodies…knowledge is definitely power. You always want to be ahead of the game…I wish I was but we can’t change things. I hope you get the test results you need. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank you also for being who you are. Take care and stay safe and well. God bless you all 🙏🏽💖😊🧶

Such a cute kitty. I'll be looking for it's release. 🐈‍⬛🐈

Omg when you said I love things neat and tidy but you just can't seem to get there. And when you do it inspires you and then another mess is made. That is 100% me. I had a colonoscopy done in May of last year. I had mine at 46 years old. I was having an endoscopy and the doctor said let's do them both at the same time. I was glad I had it done just for peace of mind. I have alot of health issues and I don't need any more.

"I'm not a super detailed cleaner..." Gurl! You're making me feel like a slob, because I don't think I've ever included vacuuming under the chair cushions as my cleaning routine. That's usually something I do when I flip the cushion over to look for something, and realize how dirty it is.

You are great and yes family first. Prayers for a speedy recovery for your mom. And hoping for good news for you.

Squirrel 🐿 brain, I certainly can relate to this, the kittens are lovely and it would be nice to have both a knitted and crotchet version with a little wardrobe for them

Elise! Loved the authenticity of your video sharing even your Medical challenges. I hope the results are good and that your Mom recuperates quickly. So relieved to see that you're just like most of us, a bit disorganized, leading a life with lots of demands, incorporating humor and getting it all done the best we can! Enjoyed the video a lot. Look forward to more from you! Best wishes...

So beautiful, what a great wife, daughter and mother you are. And I love rabbits too. 🐰💞xx

Hi Elise, loved the video today! I think your work room is adorable. I thought you were from the south, I was guessing South or North Carolina! I am in Georgia. I have been knitting and crocheting since I was a teenager. I became a fiber artist about 15 years ago. I had never thought of myself as a real artist, just a woman with a love of all things yarn. Then a very dear friend of mine who worked at an art department in a university in California, looked at my work and said that it was comparable to many of the professional things that she had seen displayed at various fiber art exhibits. She helped me to see that what I made had beauty and artistic value and that my own designs and patterns were unique. It really changed how I viewed what I did and gave me confidence to try new things. It truly opened up a whole new world for me. :) This summer for a little change I tried my hand at embroidery and thread painting. Now I am back working on a new shawl design. I have a small craft room upstairs which I affectionately call "The Lair". I think we have a lot in common. Have a great day ahead!

You and I have a LOT in common! I am the messy craft room cycle person, too. I'll get it totally messy, yarn everywhere, then I will break down and tidy it up and I love it... for all of a few hours that it lasts! lol. Also, I had a colonoscopy due to bleeding in my rectum while pregnant. After I had my daughter (which was a month early due to a placental abruption where we both almost died), they found the very large polyp and it was beyond precancer, it was stage 1. Through two surgeries, back to back, it was removed. I then saw a more local oncologist who had the foresight to get me genetically tested for that very same gene mutation. Turns out, I have it--Lynch Syndrome. It's not "if" but WHEN I get cancer, which round 2 has already happened--recently. This was stage 4 lymphoma (it moved a bit from where it was), to which they removed the tumor, 47 lymph nodes in my lower body, my colon, and my rectum, resulting in an ileostomy. I had already had a hysterectomy years prior due to the risk of cancer showing up there next, thus ruining my chances for more children. During the ileostomy procdure, they also took my ovaries due to the risk there as well, putting me in medically induced menopause. So awesome.... I have stage 4 lymphedema from this surgery on my left leg which totally sucks and has caused both my knees to have severe arthritis. I'm 44. My first round of cancer was when I was 37. Far too young to have an old man's cancer. Which is why my oncologist wanted me tested for the mutation. I am telling everyone this story not for sympathy, but to really drive home the importance of getting regular check ups and colonoscopies. Yes, they suck. I hate the swill, even the sports drink and miralax, it sucks. If you have a family history of people dieing from colon cancer--get tested. My dad died 3 years ago TODAY from the exact same thing. I watched him die a slow, painful, horrible death. It makes me incredibly angry every time I think about it, which is often. Lynch Syndrome is passed down by a parent. It doesn't skip generations. So really think about those family trees, people. Even caught early, I was already at stage 4 with a miracle of being able to get rid of a stage 4 by surgery. I came out missing some parts through this war, but I'm still kickin'. Now that that is all off my chest... I love this channel and maybe someday, you can design some amigurumi with my hand dyed yarn!

Family and health is always first. Take care so that you can continue to share and teach us .

So many of your subscribers will relate to this video that represents LIFE! Sending Prayers for your mom to recover quickly from her foot surgery. Family First is an inspiring Mantra for LIFE!!! Thank you!

I love all of your podcasts, and this one was very nice to tell us what to do with our hurting muscles. Thank you so much.

Praying your genetic test is negative and that your mom has a speedy recovery! Your neighborhood is dreamy, I wanna take pretty drives with you! hehe

It's nice to know that I am not the only one that has things everywhere when I am crafting and writing notes for different patterns.

I didn't realize you and I are so close in age! I never really thought about it before, but cool to find out. My mom'll hate it, but I gotta share this story, and I hope it gives you a good laugh. So, about twenty years ago, my parents were going for their first colonoscopies. They decided they were both gonna get them over with on the same day. So they got the mixture thing you have to drink, were both drinking them that day, and went the next day to get things taken care of. Well, about a week before this, my mom's telling me about it, and our house has two bathrooms, one full one and one that's basically a closet with a toilet in it. Anyway, she looks at me and says, "Now, there are two bathrooms, and there's two of us. You need to go, you use the yard!" Lol, much hilarity happened throughout that entire thing. I hope you get answers soon and I hope they're positive ones. And that your mom's back on her feet soon. My grandma recently had knee surgery and apparently, she feels better and is walking better and more comfortably than she has in years, so I hope your mom has a similar outcome. Also, she has adorable dogs. :)

Your mess makes you normal. I am glad to see I am not the only one that tidies up then makes another mess! Always feels good for a little while. 😂

Elise, I love this video and that you shared of yourself with us. First, I'm praying your Mom heals well. Second, I think it's wonderful that you have special time taking your son to college. That touches my heart. I love the kitty!! It is so cute. I like the shape of the body and her little features. My craft room is a mess over half of the time. I fully understand what you mean when it's all in order, it just sparks the want to get to work. Hugs!! I'm glad you are just the way you are. It brings out the God-blessed artist in you.

Thank you for sharing your week. Crochet can wait, Health is more important. ❤

Well, I'm sitting in my recliner making a mini chicken from the pattern from The Wandering Deer. I had a craft show today, 45 minute drive from home... Left 6:50 am, got home at 5. Between unloading, walking around at the show, loading and a shopping trip to Whole Foods on the way home, I am wiped out. I also have a pattern that needs to go to testers, and I have three patterns that were published in a eBook, but now I can release them on revelry and Etsy as individual patterns. I need to get that done. So, your video make me feel so much better, knowing that I'm not the only one who sets some deadlines and then has to change them because life gets in the way. It was nice to spend 15 minutes with you sitting here with my feet up as I have some yarn therapy after a tiring and discouraging day. Sales were not all that good!

Hello from the UK. I am glad you decided to give us an inside of your everyday life. I am in the process of teaching crafts for beginners and intermediate knitting and embroidery for now. I love crochet too, but I need to get back to it. All your videos have been so useful and inspirational. I want to make every toy you show on your channel 🤣🤣🤣 That cat of your are gorgeous, I can't wait for the pattern 😍 I wish I can be your tester 😛

I’m ADD. My daughter is ADHD. I followed along with you perfectly because that’s how my brain works and her life looks. 😂

Wow! You are a busy Mama, Designer and Daughter. I love your work, Thank you for all the tips on Amigurumi but most of all TFS!!!

Hello Elise! What I like a lot about you is your are straight to the point in your "story or info telling" . For me, I dont call that "all over the place" for me its been flexible, been able to ajust, because life is not linear or square or having littles drawers!! LOL I dont like when people just stick to what they planned , no matter what! LOL Anyways, I hope your tests are gonna ok, your mom heals quicly, and that you manage to get your pattern finished and happy with it! You're are doing Great with videos, shorts reals, etc!!!🌞

I love the phrase: “squirrel brain”! It describes me completely at times! I only DREAM of having your talent at crochet/Amigurumi. Ooh! I want to learn how to make those darling animals/people, etc.! Thank you for your videos so much. Xxoo

I find it more easy to learn from watching a tutorial than trying to keep my place on a written pattern, as well as trying to figure out how to do what the written pattern says. I'm quite new to crochet, and have just recently heard about amigurumi, and hope to try it soon. Thank you for your helpful videos.

Well, let me start off by saying that I missed you. I hadn't seen any new videos for a while. But you are so right your family does come first. Your mom is in my prayers and I hope she gets well soon and feel much better with her foot. Congratulations on the new pattern I can't wait to get my copy.

Awww 😔 sorry to hear about your mom I hope she healed well ❤️ and she’s blessed to have you and your daughter to help blessings to your family 🙏

Thanks for sharing your life with us. I really enjoyed the video and will be one of the first to purchase your new pattern!

I love your channel. Prayers for your mom!! Family first always. We will be here -- always enjoying your wonderful content. Thank you!! I will definitely purchase the new pattern, when it's available.

Oh Elise my heart ❤️ ❤❤❤ I’m soooooo glad you are ok and your mom is on the mend. And your boy is doing so well! (Hugs) my twins boys are almost 17 and I wonder how they will do in the ‘real world’. So glad to see he’s doing so good after all that. I’m so happy you made that announcement. I thought it was going to be a different one. I was almost veklempt. 🫣Love you and your family so much! M

Family is always first❤ Hope your Mom heals up quickly and completely and your test comes back with the answers you want. Colonoscopy prep IS the worst part! You really gave a great perspective and showed it doesn’t go as smooth as what we all see with the finished product (video). Can’t wait to see your pattern! Have a happy Saturday and here’s to hoping you have a little crochet time! Cheers 🥂

I love my swifter too! 🤓hi Elise, it’s good to know I’m not the only messy procrastinator on the earth ❤️ lol….I hope you have a good day!

I also love my chaotic life ❤️. Family first always.

Love the cats.. just starting the video, and want to say I AGREE with your fun T-shirt! LOL. I'm sorry about your son. Our dog has epilepsy and on medication twice a day. Opened my eyes to what people/animals go through. Heart breaking. Prayers for you and the polyps.. I get one or 2 every scope. Great message from you. LOVED the video and praying for you and Mom. love,hugs,prayers..

Good morning Elise, I'm sorry for missing this but happy to catch up with it!! I absolutely LOVE your kitten Ami and your craft space, and I can't wait for the pattern to come out!! I normally reorganize my crafting space on Sundays and I just try to put things back in their place throughout week not always easy lol!! I also love where you live and I admire your relationship with your son!! I have three grown sons and they'll always be my babies no matter how old they get lol!! Have a blessed day Elise!!❤️🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you for your sharing and wish your Mum a speedy recovery x

My mom has also had polyps in the past. I wish you the best and peace of mind. 💓🙏

Your new kitty is SO CUTE! I can't wait to see the pattern. I know how crazy family life can be. About two weeks ago, I got a text from my mom that was a pic of my dad's arm...no explanation, just the pic and there was a huge chunk missing from the inside of his forearm! I immediately called and he had been in the garage looking through their garbage because my mom thought her credit card had accidentally been thrown out with the junk mail. He was sitting on the walker/seat thing she had from when she had her quadruple bypass two years ago and the brakes don't work very well on it. He leaned forward and it rolled out from under him and he hit his arm on something that was sticking out either on the garbage can or something in it. It rolled the skin right up "like a hotdog" (his words..lol) and he was bleeding all over their garage. My mom got him to the hospital and he ended up with 38 stitches! After they got out of there, they went home (they live in a retirement community over in Kentucky) and cleaned the blood off the floor. I still can't believe they didn't just call me to come over and help..I told them I would have cleaned it up. Sometimes they're a little too independent! My dad is fine..he wanted to play golf the next week but my mom wouldn't let him. Anyway, I hope your mom is doing well! :)

Family is the most important part of our lives. I hope your mum recovers quickly. Thank you for showing us how you go about making your tutorials and patterns. Take care ❤️

Elise, I’m new to your channel and enjoying getting to know you and inspired to try amigurami. I think it’s nice to show the messy sides of life…because I think all creative people are a bit disorganized and on the run trying to catch their tail all the time. Even with my children grown I still can’t seem to find all that spare time I thought would be there…or a perfectly cleaned house!!! Thank you for being real… Anne

That is the cutest kitty. Love the puffy chops , it’s so cute. I’ll look forward to seeing the pattern when you’re done. Don’t feel bad, my rooms are much much more messy as I paint also. What can we say as artists? Well if you want something creative give your artist friends a hug and be patient. We love you too and design to inform and amuse you.

These little kittens make me want to learn to knit so I could make the clothes. I already spent most of my time crocheting so I’m sure it won’t be too much work to learn an extra skill.

I'm watching your videos for quite a long time, but it's my first comment. I really don't know why because I love every videos I watched! I'm currently knitting a blanket with some scraps but I'm thinking of starting a granny square blanket too. My last amigurumi was " Zero" the ghost dog from the nightmare before Christmas. And as you were asking where we come from, I'm from France and guess what? My first name is Elise too 😉 Thank you for sharing your crochet adventures and some of your daily life with us. Hopefully everyone is doing well 😊

I have been noticing that kitten in your previous videos and scouring the internet for the pattern - just figured out why I can't find it 🤔. I am waiting with baited breath for your pattern to be available. Unfortunately, I can't knit so I will have to figure out crochet clothes (and pointy ears instead of round) but I love putting my own spin on patterns - that's what I love about amigurumi and crochet and I hope you agree. Having said that - please look after your Mom; family comes first. I can wait - I have other crochet projects I'm working on (there are always things to crochet!). I'm in California (but originally from England) and I love listening to your accent as well as all the great content. I have only just found your channel, so I'm enjoying going back to watch all the old videos as well. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

The kitty is fabulous. Love all you shared. It's ALL good!

Oh look, her life is just like mine! Lol. Hi Elise. I think there are only a few people out there who have only themselves to attend to, and can accomplish tasks uninterrupted. The rest of us have family, jobs, and life that we have to work our crochet/knitting around. Either way, is okay. I loved this video. Hope all your tests, and mom, are okay. Take care ❤️

Great video! We are so much alike in so many ways. I too go through the cycle of cleaning everything up, getting inspired to be creative….aaaaaannnd making a big mess lol. I have my hand I so many different pots and kids all have different needs so I totally get the “chaos”. Sometimes I think I thrive in the chaos. I love the kitty pattern (especially since our collection of kitties is growing) I’m sure it will all get finished in just the right time. Oh, and I have the t-shirt! I bought it after you talked about it in a different video last year!! My favorite way to party!

Prayers for you and your family 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 God Bless You. You are so right, Jesus and family are so much more important than anything else in life. But we do need the little things in life that give us enjoyment, it is the little extra things we love to do that help us get through each day with our sanity intact. I’m so happy that I found your KZfaq videos last night! I subscribed to your channel today and have really enjoyed watching your videos this morning!

You always make me smile Elise! Thanks for another great video!

Thank you for sharing your week, I love your podcasts.

Love, love your T-shirt. You should see my messy craft room. You did a great Job!!! I did a colon test (the one with the Box) I have appt on 11/2 to see gastro dr. I love, love the cat toy with their clothes. When the pattern comes out I want to make several of them. Thank you for sharing. I still working on several project. Cowls, shawl, baby blanket. I'm also hemming up 4 pair of pants for my son's partner. So when I finish these, I am going to take a short breather and make my outback hat, my fade shawl by Andrea Mowry. Then I can do some amigrumi. Sorry for the long paragraph, but I think from now on I will not have so many projects at one time.

Can't believe you're in Concord! I'm in Greensboro. You are totally real!

I enjoyed seeing your day in the life video. Your kitty is adorable. I’ve been crocheting a top for me and a wool sweater for my hubby.

Another great video, Elise! You are so inspiring and real, and I love that so much about you. Family first, life isn't always pretty, things get messy as much as you keep cleaning them up.... you're the greatest. So glad that you share your talents as life allows. We are all blessed by it! You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. 💕

Thanks for sharing your week with us. As a mom of 4 kids myself I totally understand how life can sidetrack you from your original plan for a day, a week or even longer. I agree that family should come before other commitments. Those other things can be rearranged but our family will not always be with us. It’s important to make the most of those moments. Can’t wait to check out the pattern when it gets released & wishing your mom a speedy recovery.

Hi Elise. Soooo enjoyed watching this. Will be thinking of u and ur mum and wishing u both the best of health and luck. Still trying to recover from covid, it's been 2 weeks and still testing positive and feeling rough, so no crochet has happened yet. Life definitely throws a curve ball. My mum and dad had to have their little dog Tommy put to sleep on Tuesday, so been tough week , as I have his brother. So giving him extra attention. Looking forward to ur pattern release, really can't wait. ❣️

I wish you all the best in test result and in time waiting for it. Even though I don't do amigurumi or toys I love your channel!

So happy to see other people have a crazy life, I used to think it was only my family, but the older I get the more see we are not alone. I also am from a large family, and I agree, yes, family always has come first with us as well, and I am a happier person for it! Hope your mom is doing better, having your daughter live with her must give you some comfort.

Hi Elise I hope your Mum is recovering well, it’s no fun being in pain and dependant. Thank you also for sharing your health alert ,wise advice to be vigilant in our self care. Lovely to see a family all pulling together. I have just had a total hip replacement so I know. Love all your videos and projects, there is so much work involved at every level. You make it so enjoyable.😊

Another great show! I love designing patterns, but just for myself. I am currently working on a doll. I hope your medical concerns all work out for the best, and you are right, it is much better to know then to be in the dark.

Thanks, Elise. This video puts a realistic light on how KZfaqrs live! In many ways you are a younger version of me! Procrastinator here, BIG TIME! When you talked about procrastinating, you grabbed my attention - NOW!!! I was wondering about your pattern and had all sorts of negative self-talk going on in my head. LESS negative than previously in my life, but enough words that I had to soothe them away from my inner self! Life certainly does get in the way of our “plans”! It’s what we do with our one and only life that makes us who we are. You are definitely a family person! Also, when health issues come up for us or for others in our life, it’s IMPORTANT that we address them! Looking forward to eventually seeing Kitten and Her Mittens. I suspect that SHE will turn out fine!!!

Thank you for sharing your week with us. I have also been having some crazy hectic weeks (as I'm sure lots of other people have) but family and your own health come first. Focus on that and everything else will fall into place. I hope your Mom has a speedy recovery and God Bless you all.

Hey Elise! You are so wonderful, I love videos like this! Waiting for the adorable Kitty amigurumi pattern for sure! Thank you for bringing awareness for everyones health with Colonoscopy. I'm glad they lowered the age so perhaps it will help save lives. The genetic testing was a great idea. I pray for you and your family and for healing for your Mom too! Have a fantastic weekend!

I want to start crocheting soon. I hope I stick to it because I love your creativity.

Thanks for sharing your life with us. Mine is crazy too, but it keeps me going. I love doing amigurumi. Have a great day can’t wait for kitten pattern to come out

You are wonderful and no different than many of us!!! You are a great inspiration by taking care of your health and being pro-active. I love your new pattern. She is adorable!! Best of luck to your Mom for a quick recovery.

You're not the only one! I am terrible at keeping a schedule! I am currently filming a video on a pair of dragon scale gloves. I wanted to have it edited and finished before the weekend but that didn't happen. Ah, another week of rushing to get things done! Wonderful video! 💜💜

Gotta love the epic 70's hero music as you clean! 😄😄👍

This was super helpful. I like the way you roll!! Real life happens to us all and I appreciate all you do even more now. I am thankful for the tutorials and crochet/knitting videos you do. It’s been inspiring me to do more. I’ve meen living with a rare kind of cancer for 10 years now so I know the importance of early detection. I have to have a colonoscopy every year. No fun but super important. You’re doing great. Family always comes first. Praying for a speedy recovery for your mom. Lots of love and hugs from Texas ❤

Love your podcast. Prayers for you, your Mother & your family. Thank you for sharing your week & sharing with us you are normal as the rest of us. Have a good week. Marsha

WOW! I just discovered this channel and I'm in love! Gonna make a marathon of your videos. Hughs from a Spanish living and crocheting in Norway.🧶❤

Loved watching your week! Keep making these fantastic videos!

The start of your video is so like me ! Loved a look at your week, though I hope everything all goes well for everyone. Sure your kittens will not mind waiting for you. Thanks from the U.K.

Hi Elise, love your video!!! Always watching for them… my art room is the same ,I clean it up and slowly but surely it starts closing in again…lol.. my weeks are like yours ,I have deadlines but something always pops up but my family is first and especially when I have to watch my granddaughters…I share everything with them. My Khloe who is turning 14 in November can crochet amigurumi ,paint and do just about anything. I’m working on my little Isabella who is 3. Love your bunnies and will be waiting for the pattern. Peace and love,Karen

Thank you so much for being you and sharing your process as a designer and KZfaq creator. You are such an inspiration for me. You are one of the reasons that I am working on starting my own KZfaq channel.☺

Elise we all do this. no problemo! They are precious

Thanks for another great video. I think we have all come to love you!! I'm enjoying October in Louisiana, knitting Frankenstein's monster, but as soon as Halloween is over, I'd love to make at least one of your kitties with a Christmas sweater. It's so fun.

I love the kitten pattern. It’s good that you set priorities. 💕🌸

There’s absolutely nothing abnormal about our week! Especially when you have a big family. I can totally relate. Life is chaotic, busy and sometimes messy. And that’s totally okay! And I can’t wait to try your pattern! ❤

I really love your videos Elise ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing Elise your awesome I always enjoy your videos 🥰🙌🏼🎉🎉 I can’t wait to have a little craft room some day soon 😊 you inspired me I need one 🧶😃 happy stitches 🧵 🎊 🎉

Hi Elise - loved your video! I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Your Mom is so blessed to have such loving family caregivers! You look so much like her! Take your time with the pattern - we can wait! 🙏👍😻😚. I hope you will show some more of those Halloween houses! 🎃👻🎃👻

this was such an awesome video, thanks for your wisdom, creativity and authentic spirit! 🥳

Hey Elise! I always watch out for when you post your videos! Thank you for being so enthusiastic- I loved learning about your week as an Amigurumi designer as that’s what I aspire to be one day! Thank you 😘🧶😍🤩

Great job Elise, Prayers for your mom's speedy recovery. Life happens and we can plan as much as we can for it, but really it comes down to how we handle the situations and things that is put in our path. Sounds to me like you have your priorities straight and you sometimes have to shift your plans to make room for what is important to you and to your life. I have had toe surgery before and know the difficulty with getting around for someone in their (at that time 30's) I can only imagine the adjustments someone older has to make with a total foot surgery. Once again well done on another great video and prayers for your mom's speedy recovery.

Isn't that kitty cute ! 😻 Thanks as always for the beautiful & informative you create for us and wishing a speedy recovery to your Mum. 💗

It's nice to see your daily life, thank you and take care 😄

Loved watching your week in the life! 🤗 That is exactly how I feel most of the time - all over the place! 😅 I think after having kids, that’s just the norm. 😂 I hope everything is going well with your pattern!! It’s adorable! 🧡 Praying about your tests! 🙏🏻

I love your videos and your transparency, I laughed at your craft space as I envisioned it to be totally organized at all times. Lol, you are my inspiration to start amigurumi crochet, I am so into granny squares right now. I will keep you and your mom in my prayers. I think it’s so nice that your daughter lives with her grandmother while in grad school.

please don't apoogize for prioritizing your family, or for what you feel like may be a disorganized llife. I feel like there is value in every sort of life, and I'm glad to see folks sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly. people need to see that not everyone has a perfect life, and that you can have a good life even if it's a bit chaotic. we live in an rv and have a very chaotic life some days. it's all good. I hope your Mom recovers well, and please let me know if you need another tester!

Hello Elise 👋. I wish my craft spaces looked that 👍good

Ahh thank you for blessing us with you e grace and content ! Thank you for being so open about your personal life especially as a woman I find the things your going through relatable and it’s empowering to see you talk about things so openly without shame. Your an angel :) many good vibes and prayers to you and your family. ❤️

Hope mum get s better soon I ve had foot surgery many years ago and now how debilitating it can be😍

I love this cute little kitty 🥰❤️ your so talented 🥳🎊🎊🙌🏼
