Hi Linda, hope you are doing ok. Nice to be videoing again and crafting a little. Hope the spurt of energy continues as I have lots of half finished projects to tackle. xx

You know I always appreciate your feedback Edwina, means a lot. Hope all is ok with you. xx

So lovely of you to comment and say such nice things about this set Diane. It all helps and encourages me to press on with crafting. I did lose interest for a while. Thanks for dropping by. x

My fave colour too Pam. I wonder if having the same birthday has anything to do with it lol. Bless you for your comments x

@@marybarratt2649 I always enjoy seeing what you have created or purchased. Everything you make is lovely and you’ve purchased some amazing things over the years! Maybe we do love the same things because of our birthdays! It’s fun to know someone so far away that likes a lot of the same stuff as me! 🌸💚

Many thanks for your lovely comments. Much appreciated.

Hello Jean, I haven’t seen many beading patterns that appeal to me, so I’ve not done a lot. Half finished a couple of bags but I’d like to get into it again. Yes, a lot of the one time regulars have gone or perhaps taking a break. I miss them too. So I will keep on keeping on and hope to do more videos. Tfw Jean. X

Hi there Mary, It took seeing DebbieV challenge to find your channel. I commented on your Santa ornament of course as they were always my most favorite thing you did although everything you do is impeccable.I’ve been away from yt for a long time but still watch several of my fav. People. I was thrilled that Debbie listed your channel. I’ve been catching up now with your videos! All the beaded fairies are amazing but the little green with the loose wings is incredible. My daughters always ask which one o them I will leave my fairy I purchased from you to. I laugh all the time. I may have to purchase a couple more so I can leave one to each of them haha.I see you’ve been off awhile as well. Good to see you again. I often think I would like to come back on but I probably won’t. It’s to much now even though I still craft. Now I’m working with wood pieces. Well I haven’t changed much…I still write novels in comments! Happy Holidays🤗🎄🐿🦌

Hi my friend, just nice to be crafting again and finding the motivation. I need to be more productive Ive decided. Hope all is well with you. Heatwave here, awful! Take care xx

Just wish I could keep it up. I keep getting sidetracked. I’m wet-felting at the mo. Tfw x

Yes I had a spurt of energy and decided to try to get back into crafting regularly - I waste a lot of time really. Thank you as always for your lovely comments, you know how much time and attention goes into a project, so I appreciate it. xx

It is lovely to get favourable responses to my journal. It does encourage me to keep on crafting I must say. People are so nice. Thanks for commenting Chris. I appreciate it. x

You are kind Abbi - it is nice to get good feedback because it encourages me to do more crafting. Hopefully I can get on and finish other projects. Be glad when the heatwave ends!! xx

Hello Caz, thanks for your lovely comment. Ah, the bunny. I must knit up some more of those, they are cute arent they? Fancy Kristen still having hers, so sweet. Hope she is ok. Yes, Im trying to get back into it and finish off projects. Just lost my mojo for a while. xx

Hi Lisa, how are you? So nice of you to pop on and comment. I appreciate it. ❤

Bless you for your lovely comments. xx

I dont know whether I could be an all-out journaller as I like so many other crafts as you know, but it is nice when a journal comes together well. I still never got around to a proper lace journal, must make that a project soon to use up some stash. Thanks for your lovely comments my friend x

oh, I forgot to mention how adorable your little fairy is! Love her!

Hello Maggie, thank you for dropping by, I so appreciate your comments. Ive just had no interest in crafting for a while now but Im hoping to change that. I hate not being productive. Take care and keep well Maggie x

It is lovely to see you here Julie. Im glad you are around and hope all is well at your end. Take care xx

Hi Julie! Saw your comment on sweet Mary’s work and just wanted to say hi and hope you’re well! Hugs! 🦋🌷

Hello Lynn, hope you are ok, not seen much of you lately online. It is just nice to finish off a project, now I can start on another while Ive got my mojo back. I was tempted to give up on crafting but thankfully I got a spurt of energy from somewhere. Take care of yourself xx

Tks so much for dropping by Sarah. By the way my friend loved her little book with the sculpted face cover that you created. I will do a video on mine soon. Is it hot where you are? It’s a bit like Tenko here!

@@marybarratt2649 Glad your friend was happy with her wee book! It's exactly one million degrees here... I am melted. Hopefully tomorrow we'll get a little relief!

Mara, unfortunately it has sold but can you e mail me at marybarratt8@gmail.com. I cant find your e mail address to talk to you.

@@marybarratt2649 Yes, I will. 💕

Yes, I was lucky to sell it - after all there are so many lovely journals out there. It has given me the push to get into more crafting thank goodness, as I wasnt enjoying it. I seem to have had a spurt of energy lately, so hopefully I can make more 'stuff'.

Do you do commissions Mary? I would love to buy one of your fairy’s? 🧚🏻‍♂️🥰

@@AndreatheCumbrianCrafter I dont do beading to order as it takes me such a long time to make things. About a week to do a fairy if I stick at it. But! I have got a white/pink/silver fairy that is almost half finished. Would you like me to complete that one and when it is done I will video it and you can see if you like it before saying yes? Never sold one before so I will just need to price up the cost of the beads before I can give you a price. marybarratt8@gmail.com

I’ll email you Mary xx 😘
