Everyone it is Friday January 12th 12th 12th it is the 12th of January um I cut my bangs if you saw the last stream we had a little discussion of whether I should cut my bangs or not and literally ju literally wow literally just talking
About it was enough for me to go yeah I should definitely definitely do that that is something I should definitely do so I did um I’m not going to discuss which scissors I used because that’s simply none of your business so I used the scissors that worked for me where are my
Other pills I have oh there you are I have some fun things to do with you today um sorry I forgot to take my meds take your meds if you have meds to take and you haven’t taken them yet please do it’s important I have a bag full of yarn from
My friend she came over and brought over a whole bunch of her scrap yarn so we’re going to go through that bag of yarn that she brought over and then I’m going to show you a project I did did last night and then we are going to go
Into Photoshop and plan out my garden for this coming season I have an outline of the backyard I have all of the list of plants that were growing I went through all of my seeds yesterday and I got my Etsy cart filled with all the
Rest of the seeds that I have still got plans to grow and it’s going to be a good morning so if you’re interested in Garden planning or yarn or arts and crafts and animals also cuz there tends to just be a zoo around me most of the
Time uh then stick around don’t forget to click the like button as you come in and the uh subscribe button if you’re new good morning Candace nice to see you Slinky good morning deaf will be watching this one later posted my garden plan and plants oh cool don’t forget
Snacks refreshments and your daily required meds absolutely Candace I have half a to blon and uh a black coffee we ran out of cream today so no cream in my coffee tastes fine I added a little bit of sugar to try and make it not taste like
Tar I guess I didn’t really need to add sugar though because my um breakfast snack is going to be a tobleron so so um before we jump in to the ball of yarn or the bag of yar y rather um I am going to go into our
Discord and we’re going to have a look at um at slinkiest garden garden plans I should say maybe give us a little inspiration for how we’re going to plan our garden plan to blon so good beautiful garden plan amaran love lives bleeding I have three varieties of amaranth this year
Guys I have amaranth love lives bleeding dark amaranth and amaranth Coral Fountain so we’re going to have three different varieties of trailing amaran this year dark red bright fuchsia and then uh Coral pink the garden is going to be lit I think I’m also going to do alysum
This year because Slinky your garden last year the alysum looked amazing I feel like I want to like scroll back in the garden to show off how beautiful the alysum ended up looking throughout the summer I bet there’s a picture back here somewhere poppies when is this September so a little before
This this is when we were looking for inspiration I think I can search by Slinky but instead I’m just going to scroll backwards with this we had so many nice Gardens this summer oh it’s so tasty if you haven’t had a toe blur before you’re missing out I’m looking for a specific Garden by the way where are we here
August should be somewhere in here our garden was amazing in August let’s see let’s see toon so delicious okay let’s see we’ve got oh that one was so beautiful that sinky grew last year I want to grow that this year oh so pretty okay hold on that’s not what we’re looking
For oh did I tell you my um bird of paradise she threw another Leaf out now there are four pups under this plant and it has another new Leaf it didn’t get the memo that it’s winter because winter never really came and for that reason it’s just just decided to create more
Flowers I have apricot Cosmos all right all right we got to be getting there by now we’re now in July it might be smart for me to search by Slinky but I know what alysum looks like so I feel like if I just scroll back long enough I’m going to find it
Okay here’s a bunch of pictures this feels promising a bunch of slinkies pictures here we go Jesus that took long enough here’s how the sweet alysum is looking do you see on the sides of this picture on both sides around the bottom that sweet alysum and I think I’m going
To do that this year I have a gold variety so I’m going to do my border ERS in Gold that’s at least my plan right now we’re going to figure out exactly where we want to put stuff but slinky’s Garden turned out so nice last year and
The sweet alysum looks do you see it around the bottom of this picture it’s like it’s like a little tiny little delicate beautiful flowers the malva turned out really nice too takes up a lot of room though I have mixed mixed feelings about plants that
Take up too much room cuz um I uh rote out all the seeds that I actually am planting and uh the number guys is a bit wild right now it’s like honestly it’s a bit wild okay so um good morning all I’ll be off on lurking cuz I have to shovel a
Bunch more snow off my dog’s patio and yard area as we got dumped overnight and I’m dealing with a fibro flare no thank you that’s awful um sorry you’re dealing with a fibro flare sorry you have have a bunch of snow to shovel but um glad that you’re here with
Us okay I’m going to take a picture of my garden um it’s not my garden plan I don’t know what the word for this would be my it’s like my overhead shot of my garden I feel like it should be this way hold on um I have a list though of the
Flowers I’m growing and there are so many varieties I am mildly concerned that I don’t have enough room not that I don’t have enough room that I don’t have enough room yet I will eventually have enough room um so I’m going to transfer this photo into Photoshop and then we’re going to
Play around together um getting the photos of the flowers that I have the list I have um maybe I’ll also take a photo of the list so you guys can see what I already have I’ll put that in the Discord so that you can see what
I’m uh growing hold on let me just post that in Discord first in plants and then after that’s loaded I will also move it onto my computer it’s currently -7° C it is 1° here with a high of four today 4° is our high minus one is our low Celsius
And it’s supposed to be raining today 100% chance of rain perfect day to go to the beach okay so I’m going to just transfer these to my computer so that we can all look at them together why is my nose itchy our high is- 16 H that’s like not
It’s not enough minus 16 is just not enough I don’t appreciate it okay so I’ve got that now I can open with Photoshop and now because I am a tech genius I have opened Photoshop so that you guys can participate hold on um we’ll go in here
Move this up so you can see uh so this is my um Garden plan at this point no no maybe yes okay so this is my garden plan at this point there’s no guarantee that this is going to oops that it’s going to work out exactly
How I want it to but you know we can always hope okay I think that’s good this is my backyard overview um this is a uh I don’t know what to call it it’s a very crappy it’s my best my best abilities okay I don’t have the best abilities but
I’m trying my best here brightness and contrast we’ll contrast that the heck up and we will brightness that the heck up up and then we’ll do that again good and then we will contrast o the loading is a little bit laggy um what do we say lik lik like hi
Louisa the weekend is going to get colder for us too and the snow is going to keep on coming I’m sorry Alana hey Michelle good morning but hey I’m alive and kicking so it’s a good day that’s true Alive and Kicking is good okay so this is the first part
Of my um garden and then I think I want to actually make it bigger so that I can show you like the flowers that we’re going to be working with but I don’t want to generative expand okay good okay I said don’t generate expand so annoying well it’s not annoying I
Actually love generative expand normally okay so there’s my garden plan and now I’m going to you know what I’ll do I’ll bring in the the photo of the plantss like the list of plants that I have and then I can um okay generative expand that’s not
What I asked for but I appreciate your attempt let’s just not have you do that and then we’ll take this photo we’ll bring it in here’s my list of plants that I’m growing just so you can see what we’re trying to work with and then we will be putting those plants onto
This plan so before we trouble ourselves with the plan maybe what we can do is just delete you and then we’ll work with this this list and go into Pinterest and like pull pictures of all of these um before we do any of that though I want to go ahead and show you
This bag full of yarn that I’ve got is that page one that is page one that’s page one that’s just flowers so I have a page of green plants and then I have a page of food plants uh we shall see how many I actually can fit I think I’m
Going to be able to fit like a lot of them we’ll see I hope I apparently made ment the best dog toy ever I took a towel poured out some treats and then rolled it up and made a snail put it in a cardboard box then stuffed as many of her soft
Toys on top the treat towel as humanly possible she’s having a blast oh that’s so fun I’ve seen that to that towel snail on uh on the interwebs before I’m opening yarn so my friend was uh downsizing her yarn stash and she was like I’m going to donate all of these if
You don’t want them I’m donating them and I was like if I don’t want them I’ll donate them so let me have a look at least gray very useful gray cotton also what’s super useful she has a lot of cotton in this pile and I’m chilly now I was hot and now I’m
Chilly and so I need a sweater one sec why is there so much bird seed on this sweater you guys why were you going into my shelf to eat your bird seed the disrespect this is the what is this the sloy Bolero cardigan it was supposed to
Be a bolero but because of the Stitch I chose it turned into a cardigan okay so I haven’t looked in this yet I told her I was going to wait until um today so that I could look at it with you guys uh blue and white very
Nice a white annoying to work with texture cute a blue annoying to work with texture I know that this is annoying to work with cuz she didn’t even try she probably did a chain stitch and then was like no that’s a no From Me Maybe nice for knitting
Though oh so many small balls of yarn okay these are like the handy crafter Cottons they’re like a thick sort of rough feeling cotton but good colors like blue and white gray pink pink red and white oh this one’s cute blue and white again but this one’s like a blue and white striped
Fun is Melanie here I don’t think so not yet I see yarn sorry I was on a work call so I missed the beginning we’re going to be doing a garden plan but uh I have a whole bag full of yarn that a friend of mine was going to downsize and she was
Going to donate them and she said if you don’t want them I’m donating them and I said if I don’t want them I’ll donate them um because then I get to go through them and see if they’re worth uh using in any tutorials that’s not enough to do
Any one project with but if I’m doing small tutorials like crocheted feathers or crocheted I don’t know all kinds of stuff I can use these small balls of yarn for color work which is useful for me she seems to have had a lot of the handicrafter cotton in different colors
Which is cool because cotton is a great uh tutorial tutorial yarn it has a good look on camera so I’m happy about that and there’s also quite a few cute colors in acrylic so it looks like she probably did some kind of baby thing because these are the acrylic
Colors I think that’s it oops these are the acrylic colors they’re like soft soft cute colors I can never bring myself to donate yarn I just love it so much I find a way to use it yeah um she’s not uh she’s not the same Molly I agree with
You I just hoard yarn until I I find a way to use it um but she is she’s better than us that’s all she’s better than us um so she is able to donate it and she was about to and then instead she gifted it all to me which is
Awesome because I will use it in tutorials moving forward I have a bunch of pink which is awesome because Valentine’s Day is coming up and um and Valentine Day means I’m supposed to oops as a YouTuber make pink heart themed items Alana LOL I would absolutely make all those balls into a
Yarn cake and do granny square scrap Gan in every single texture and style that’s definitely an option you could use all of them together but the burnat handicrafter cotton isn’t really soft I’ve made a sweater with it before um when I was like newer to crochet cuz it’s really
Nice to work with like it feels nice on your hands while you’re crocheting with it but it’s really it doesn’t stretch at all um it really is more useful as like a dishcloth or um or like like a a bath mat or a kitchen mat something like that it’s not
Really a it’s not super functional for like wearables I’m sure you could incorporate it into another wearable like if you did if you put another yarn with it or something to soften it up but it is quite firm so I think this will be good for tutorials on stitches because it’s
Super like crisp and when you see the stitches they look um really like defined when you use Burnett handicraft or cotton I don’t know why I decided to start rewinding this ball of yarn right now but it started ment is just Moder moderately food motivated so if you make
The toy hard she just won’t bother um Thunder won’t bother anything he’s food F motivated but he’s not he’s not regular motivated so um unfortunately those Brain Toys don’t work for him I think that could work for Rohan cuz he’s super food motivated and really athletic
And he’s smart like he knows how to open our bathroom door and he knows how to open it from both sides like if the door is closed and he’s in the bathroom he knows how to open it and if the door is closed and he’s outside of the bathroom
He knows how to open it so he can understand the difference between like pulling and pushing and yeah he figures that stuff out he’s and he’s very active so I think he could probably do brain toys like that but I don’t think that Thunder is uh quite uh Nimble enough
Mentally anymore to do that unfortunately my sweet little thunderbean there are loads of smart pet toys totally the different styles and textures are fantastic for baby mat so they can explore textures for anyone who fidgets with textured items to calm themselves that’s true fidget mat fidget fidget baby mat that’s a good
Idea I’m not going to rewind all of these balls right now cuz we have a plan we’re going to do garden stuff today today is a garden planning day okay um anyway this is a pretty color and I think that I’m going to put The pink and reds together for a Valentine’s Day project so there’s one Valentine Wednesday project pile number one and then burnat handicrafter cotton there’s so many of them so maybe it’s time to start refiling my Stitch tutorials um our coffee maker making a weird noise um maybe it’s time to start refiling the
Like regular Stitch tutorials I have good burnout handicrafter cotton in a bunch of different colors now which would be useful for that or I could do a stuffy you know like a stuffed animal uh pink and gray is also a nice combo and there’s a good chunk of both
Of those colors do you see you want to bite it yes I do I love biting biting is my favorite yeah so I feel nice on your mouth you want me to give you a little uh little piece of yarn to Chomp on this yellow is really cute too one sec let me
Just find you a piece that’s got like here this one’s got nice colors I’ll just tie you up a little thing okay for you to tear apart so I’m going to tie some knots in it just hold on a sec I’m getting it she’s like nibbling on me like give it
Give it see what she’s doing right now like she’s so interested in it and then she bites me to be like give it I want it you want this can I have a kiss thank you baby hold on I’m getting it for you I’m just tying some knots in
It oh the joys of having a little bird terrorist as a pet thank you baby she like if I give you kisses can I have my treat you want your toy here you go there it’s just in a bunch of knots and now it’ll give her something to do
For a few minutes uh which is good because um if she has something to do she won’t destroy my stuff I am going to wind this one into a ball because be elub is now distracted I found a place that has kolia seeds for a bit cheaper I’m
Thinking of getting a pineapple surprise this year mostly because of the name pineapple surprise the different styles and textures are fantastic for baby mats oh I read that one to to buy or to make uh my sister’s dog is really really smart and they have multiple brain toys for
Him so whenever they leave the house they put together one of his brain toys and he figures them all out like by the time they get home even if they’re gone 15 minutes he’s figured all of the toys out and they’ll put like a few of them are you
Struggling they’ll put like a few of them out and they’re he’ll figure all of them out cuz he’s a brilliant doggy Okay after this is in a ball of yarn then we’re then we’re getting to the Garden plan okay oh also I did a craft with my
Friend you might see it in the back corner of my table here um we did bleach art so we took black t-shirts I got Alex a black T-shirt um for in his stocking that I was planning to do bleach art on and I never had the time so I just
Didn’t give it to him in his stocking uh but my friend came over last night and we did bleach art so we put bleach in two glass bowls and we diluted one 50% and we left one at 100% and um and we used paint brushes and we painted on
These black t-shirts she did the coolest thing she did um a moth which it turned out so cool she did like a big moth with eyes and stuff it was really cool um and she her moth turned out amazing um very like it turned out really cool um and I did outer
Space because I made Alex an outer space bleach shirt sort of by accident and then I like continued on purpose I spilled bleach on one of his black t-shirts and washed it and then found the bleach and then I went back and like fixed um to make it look like it was on
Purpose to make it look like outer space so um that shirt I made a few years ago and the bleached areas have worn out because um bleach damages the fiber so the there’s areas on this t-shirt that are super thin like you can see his skin
Through it very clearly um so it’s time to retire that shirt but Alex is very uh not a fan of retiring clothing so I decided I would make him a new one so that it’s easier for him to retire the old one so I got him a new t-shirt this
One’s a thicker cotton and I think that he’s going to like it cuz it’s thicker um but it’s still really soft and then I painted an outer space scene on it and uh it looks really cool so let me show you please hold while I get the outer space t-shirt Tada what do you think does it look like outer space or like some some version of outer space there a secret vagina it’s not really a secret it’s right here it was supposed to be a Galaxy but then it it turned out looking like a
Volva so now it’s a secret vva but um there are comets and galaxies and planets and asteroids and a gaseous planet and an earthlike planet Isn’t that cool all done with just bleach also there’s a secret thunder right here and I wrote Alex’s name where did I write it right here see
Right there it says Alex it’s supposed to be thunder it turned out a little bit weird but it was Thunder I have a stamp and then one of the planets down here which one this one the I put a stamp one of my handmade stamps and it is flowers but it ended up
Looking really cool so from far away I feel like it looks super cool super outer Spacey and then from up close if you get really close you can see that it’s like definitely got flaws but it’s still cool cuz it’s all done with bleach there’s Thunder and there’s my name see hello
And Alex and he asked me to date it so 2024 just paint brushes and bleach so that’s what my friend and I did last night and it was a lot of fun and her moth turned out amazing and my outer space turned out amazing I was
Very happy with it so Alex is also very happy with it which is cool and now I can throw out the other one because it’s literally like it’s not only that you can see skin so there’s like faded areas on the chest you can see his nipple but
The fabric is so thin you can see the hair on his chest not you can see the outline of the hair you can see the hair on his chest through the T-shirt so it’s time it’s time but he won’t get rid of it because of the tism so uh replacing it
Is a good way you’re so talented I could never oh thank you thank you you should try it you’ll find out that you actually can cuz all of those planets were made with round things I used one of my pill containers dipped it in Bleach pressed
It on the shirt I used this container dipped it in Bleach put it on the shirt I used the bottom of a Coke can and I used the bowl that the bleach was actually held in those were what the planets were made of so it wasn’t
Like it wasn’t like I had to think hard to make circles and then the stars are just crosses I just made crosses and then I flipped the paintbrush upside down dipped it in bleach and then dabbed it in in the middle of each of the crosses
So it’s like it seems like it’s all complicated but it’s very simple parts we could do it together one day if you want I have another black T-shirt okay so now I think we should get into um the flowers that we need to get for our photoshopping wet t-shirt
Contest without the wet part literally though like lol but also LOL okay so um I want to take the list we need Zenia Cosmos X Xenia Cosmos I figured we could just search all of the flowers that are on the list and then save a photo from each of them
And then put those all into Photoshop together um in order to see like what the colors in the garden are going to look like I like this this is one of them that we have Frida is that an OCTA plant an OCTA plant hold on save
Image will you save as a JPEG don’t screw with me now we want hold on okay good it doesn’t show my stuff Xenia um where you were before okay hold on a sec let me go back where was I before an octo plant oh no that’s a it’s an amaranth but it’s a dark amaranth I was trying to find the dark amaranth name but I can’t seem to find it
Speaking of it we can get a coral Fountain maybe I should get a coral Fountain growing so that we have an idea no this is fine this is also not a good photo of amaranth Coral Fountain so let’s go back let’s see we have Zenia Cosmos and we have apricot Cosmos aot

Colors like salmon pink cleome pink cleome was I didn’t grow strong pink cleome the year before last year I grew really I grow really beautiful fuchsia cleome but I’m growing strong pink this year it’s going to happen pink Cleo the purple or the fuchsia is beautiful
But I’m going for pink so we’re going to aim for pink and we also have a pink cone flower cone flower and it’s like a bright one I took it from a public garden the seeds that is it’s very bright and it’s a short flower let me see if I can find
It I wish I had taken a did I take a picture of it no I don’t think I did did I I might have let me just check my phone if I took a picture of it that would have been really helpful but um can’t say that I am depending on myself
For that because you know months it would have been In November October September I went with my friend out to a cafe and the cafe we went to it must have been after September cuz that’s flower season still this was like flower season was ending okay October 31st H that might be too far away or too far into the cold I mean
November that seems too cold wait we got when did we get our car cuz it was before we got our new car ah here is us at the cafe GH it was November 5th and I did not in fact take a picture of the flower why would I have done
That okay um what color was it was bright enough that I thought I should save seeds from this I I feel like it was this color but it was short it was a short eonia like a bright one though like that I think it was like that and we’ll call that pink cone
Flower okay and then the next one on my list is gold alysum because I have seeds for that so I figured I would grow it because I have it and that’ll be my yellow small flower which is nice isn’t that pretty like that’s cute right next to a bunch of pink I think
It’ll be really nice gold alysum come on Alysa okay next is this one I don’t have yet but I know I’m buying it because I already decided pink strawberry blonde marold um I’m buying it I’m buying it it’s happening and I’m buying it and even though it’s not that
Pink it’s Pinker than a regular marold strawberry blonde Mar gold uh so we’re doing it we’re pulling the pulling the trigger on it the one I am growing that is not like pink but I have to grow it it’s a must grow on my list like I can’t not
Grow it it’s my favorite marold is the harlequinn or Jolly Jester uh look at how beautiful this marold is it’s so pretty in flower hammering and I love it for flower hammering so I can’t I can’t not grow it um what are you called harleyquinn marold uh so even though
It’s not pink this is one of the ones that’s not pink that I will still always grow and the other one is the sing Single golden hold on Golden Mar gold because it’s my favorite it’s just soft and gentle and beautiful it’s this one mine won’t grow
That many flowers because I’m not going to grow that many but it’s like this beautiful golden yellow like not a lemon yellow at all it’s so pretty and it looks so pretty in the garden every year this my favorite one so this one is gold Mar
Gold um let me see I found a pink surprise marold in the chat okay let’s see show me bring me back to the bottom yes uh that’s a Cula so maragold and culas are often labeled the same in other countries fra but that’s a Cula it’s a different flower it’s like from
The same something but it’s not the same flower unfortunately but for some reason in other countries maragold and colula are both called the same thing but they’re not the same thing sorry about it I wish I wish that there was a pink surprise that’s what I want for colula
Though uh I want to get a pink colula okay and we did the signant yellow now what’s next bachelor’s buttons I want to grow bachelor’s buttons um but the only ones that I have are mixed so I can’t be sure that what I’m going to grow is going to be pink it
Could come out blue or purple and I I have mixed feelings about that cuz I really want to aim for as much Pink as possible possible um but the colors that I have in my mix are like uh I guess they’re like this and they’re pretty and I want to
Grow bachelor’s buttons but I don’t really want to get purple so we’ll just see I don’t know about them yet if I can find bachelor’s buttons that make me want to grow them we’ve already had this discussion yes it’s a maragold in Sweden we just call them differently your marag Golds are called
Tetts here remember that discussion we’re both right and wrong yes I remember and did you look at the pineapple surprise I didn’t look at the pineapple surprise oh that’s cute it’s a surprise cuz every leaf is different it’s pretty I currently have uh one yeah one left one um colus left
Which is annoying because I’ve walked past people’s houses who have big beautiful healthy colus like the ones that you have Freda uh growing inside so I know they exist but all of mine die everyone I have one left in the kitchen that is not dead but it’s definitely not
Healthy it’s like going to die maybe it’s going to die because I’ve already decided it’s going to die but you know okay uh next one is zabina Melva zeina malva malva uh this one’s pretty and the plant is nice so we’re growing it and it was a grandpa flower zeina Mal oops
Mala we are almost done we’re almost done the list there’s only a couple more left red castor bean purple and white sweet peas these I want to grow but kind of not sure if they’re actually going to grow because like I don’t really have a ton of
Luck or in the past I haven’t had a ton of luck but I would like for them to grow my little sister has a neighbor who grew these and they’re so pretty sweet peas um and then next is red cter bean this one’s also really
Pretty if it ever grows to that size it never gets that big in my garden it did when we lived on the farm okay if you want to just take your time there Pinterest just having a having a moment I think maybe they have to be indoors or
Outdoors not movable yeah that makes sense you have to like commit um castor bean okay red castor bean um who’s next we have a couple more we have dark red colus oh this is one that I want to buy still and it’s the salmon gumina go globosa globosa this little fell
Hold on where are you Gina globosa salmon it’s cute that doesn’t look like it I found seeds that looks like clovers I found seeds for it how is there no pictures of it that’s not a good sign what if I just erase the salmon part and see if the gum frina
Globosa comes up with other colors mostly they’re this bright one is it only me speaking or I can’t see anyone else no it’s only you speaking Freda it’s just you and me hanging out this morning I’m so lonely I’m Mr Lonely that’s it when it’s
Dry I want to see it when it’s not dry though I’m lurking straight lurking okay well I can’t seem to find maybe if I go on Etsy I can just grab the picture in my basket oh that is what it is okay sorry um it
Is this one up here hold on it’s this one it’s just a shaty photo um Stam globos okay so now we’ve got all of the photos so we can come back to here and then we can go back I can delete this and then we can start in Photoshop I can
Start bringing them in and then you can see all of these beautiful ass flowers together it’s going to be amazing okay are you ready why are you so pale oh because I did things okay amaran Coral fountain dark amaranth amaranth Love Lies bleeding why so small I’m trying to have an experience
Here let’s try and clip this down a bit and see if that works for me a little better just want you guys to be able to see what’s happening up in these parts okay and now we could shrink you back down nope that’s not what I asked you to do okay so we’ve
Got those three then we’ve got oh my God I’m going to die it’s going to be so pretty let’s just put them all in first how about that and then we’ll move them around after we put them in could you just it’s gonna be pink in my freaking Garden I know
Right please excuse how long this is going to take me to get all of these flowers in and then we will move them around resize them so that you can actually see the different colors oh my God it’s going to be so pink you guys I’m very very
Excited I’m just putting them all in and they’re all going on top of each other until we can get this cropped to be smaller because I think that these are all a good size I don’t think I need to resize them to make them huge so I think we can resize our page
Nope like this come on in beautiful are we seeing stuff nice does it look good on your end looks good on my end okay okay it’s going to be so good it’s going to be so good I am not going to survive my garden is going to
Be amazing you guys we’re going to have freaking pink world pink zenas zabina MVA Zenia Cosmos okay I think we’re almost almost we have almost all of them okay good okay this is all the flowers first of all see the color palette majority pink now we’re going to
Try and resize everything so we can see it all together that would be cool right if we could see all of the items I feel like that’s about a good size so we’ll shrink everybody down to roughly fit that size in my head right now I’m doing can you take me High to a place where blind see are you having a pink nestum yes I will because I am not trash Freda of course I will have a pink nestum what do you think I’m just going to have a garden with no pink nestum do you even know me the amount of
Coral though in the garden this year is going to be freaking off the charts I got to say there’s going to be so okay why do you do that when I didn’t ask you to move like that uh yeah the amount of coral is going to be the correct
Amount I’m just going to start moving stuff around so that you can see all of these freaking exceptional pinks we need to understand sorry a sick kitty to take care of oh no what’s wrong uh Candice sorry your kitty is sick what’s wrong with the
Kitty can you take me higher oh I also have my um what are they called my EAS I forget what they’re called though um cappuccino Rebecca I still have those as well so those will have to be incorporated do I have another vertical here somewhere nope that’s not what I asked
You to do thank you um Coral or the color between orange and pink is my favorite color me too I well no that’s not true there’s a specific green that’s my favorite color but I do really love coral for flowers Coral is definitely in my top flower color colors okay we need
To move my signant maragold cuz she’s beautiful we’ll put her over here the amount of coral that is going into the garden this year though is going to be like almost humorous like a humorous amount of coral is going in my garden is there too much Coral the
Answer is no of course not there’s exactly the right amount of coral but even so it’s pretty freaking a lot of coral bro it’s the right amount for me oh God it’s going to be so pretty or it’s going to not work out and I’m going to have a whole bunch of tiny
Plants cuz there’s not enough Sun for everybody but you know I don’t like to be pessimistic I like to believe it’s all going to work out great the garden is going to be exceptional and people will come from far and wide to Behold The Glory that is
My oh my God forgot about the apricot a cosmos amazing so much apricot in this Garden so much salmon again just the right amount the right amount is all of it can you take me higher Need more room I do believe this is going to be epic also my poopy Garden also and so is my poopy Garden oh yes your poopy Garden because it’s built over top of where the septic tank was it’s a funny name though sorry I needed more room not enough
Room sorry maragold you’ve got to go up higher can you take me well yes I can there you go so now there will be a yellow in every row it’ll be perfect he’s okay just probably wanting more of what he just got just gave back he ain’t getting no more what
He just gave back ew he wants to eat it cats are gross they’re not gross they’re lovely oh my God look at how much freaking it’s going to be amazing I’m so excited for summer like obviously everyone’s excited for summer I recognize that but also me in particular very excited because of all
Of these colors that are mostly pink I think actually now looking at the bachelor’s buttons having a little bit of blue isn’t going to ruin the garden like I was a little bit worried that a little too much blue was going to you know bring down the Vibes and whatnot I don’t
Think so I think the blue will be welcome I also think that oops I think that the straw flower this light pink one is going to be really pretty you want to see our garden Alex yeah do you want to see our garden yeah what do you mean do you even
Like me yeah I’m growing an amazing Garden where next year look at these are all the flowers that I have seeds for wow nice Garden isn’t it pretty I like the amaran yeah we have three varieties the pink pink three varieties of amaran this year these are all the flowers
We’re going to be growing nice in the summer this year I Like It Isn’t it nice Y no just a cute accent also I love those right I think so too I think that with the we’ve got the uh purple sweet peas the purple in the bachelor’s buttons probably and then
Also the malva is kind of purple like here’s the malva down at the bottom here so now let me go in on each one on each area and we’ll just kind of like read into it a little bit how about that um up here at the top we’ve got our
Coral amaranth and our dark amaranth and our love lives bleeding these are going to be tall so they’re going to go in the back of the garden uh which is going to be great sweet peas are going to be climbing up the fence on both sides of the yard then
We’re going to have the pink um what’s it called pink eona uh it’s also tall so it’ll be in the middle but in the back oh the py cosmos are going to be so pretty I’m honestly going to die for these ones though the apricot Cosmos so so excited to see them grow

Learning um alysum from seed malva from seed um straw flower scabiosa um sweet PE teas yeah I’m doing a lot from seed this year that I’ve never done from seed before still my favorite maragold I know that it doesn’t really go with the color scheme but when you look at it from like
The back it’s still mostly pink you know what I mean like obviously there’s some other colors I feel like this needs to be over here and this needs to be over here for arts and crafts reasons there that’s better I can’t even do house plants really you’re allergy but I thought the
Part that you’re allergic to on Plants is the pollen how’s that fair that’s rude um with height resolution can I just do whatever I want on this hold on sorry I just need to crop the bottom because I don’t like how it looks there it’s beautiful look at that beautiful

Troublemaker anyway thank you so much um now let’s go back to playing with yarn what do you say oh I’m very excited about it though we’re going to have to do a garden plan where we actually plan where everything will go even though it’s not realistic cuz I’ll end up just planting it
Wherever I want but alysum we’re going to have yellow borders on a pain Garden essentially maybe I can get some pink Alysa from either a seed place or from the garden center in the spring I’m not really like I don’t have to grow every part of it from seed I can purchase a
Couple baby plants B did you know that alysum is edible as well it’s like an it’s like a a green like uh like broccoli it’s like the same family as broccoli isn’t that interesting um pick of the meadow flowers in Discord Meadow the flowers from the meadow she’s beautiful those are
Nice is that what you’re going to plant like a meadow mix that’ll be pretty um definitely very pretty I got six packets of meadow mix that will be hopefully enough for your Meadow sorry Rohan can’t help you buddy you’re not allowed in there you’re still too excited to meet peeka and she doesn’t
Want anything to do with you did you guys see on my Instagram yesterday if any of you follow me I’m going to post it on Discord now just in case you don’t follow me on Instagram but yesterday um the cats were eating next to each other and I was like they’re basically best
Friends they’re basically getting along and here’s here’s what that looks like look they’re basically eating together they’re more or less they’re basically best friends look how close together they are they’re only an inch apart they don’t want anything to do with each other but they’re only an inch apart so
In reality they actually are hanging out right next to each other so it’s all in their heads cuz they’re one inch apart right here so they will get along eventually they will get along it is it’s been decided I hope six packets is enough for you Freda how big is the Meadow
Space What are you doing trouble did you hear that did you hear the bathroom door open that was Rohan he went downstairs and opened the bathroom door downstairs uh Freda yes and some extra bonus stuff the maragold that you don’t call a maragold bachelor’s buttons colius and I
Have a high fence so huge sunflowers oh I’m also missing you’re right in my garden picture I’m missing um cleome and no not cleome I’m missing nerum and and colula so I still need to get nestum and colula I just haven’t pulled the trigger on the pink NST shums
Because I don’t have a good reason why I just haven’t also next year I’ve decided since I have this all the soil this year like I don’t I bought soil the first year we lived here yes I also have lavender and my mix Candice but that’s
Already existing as a plant I I have seeds that I collected this oops this pass summer and fall so I am going to try and grow lavender do I have that on my list oh I don’t have it written but I do have it I have seeds thank you for
Reminding me um so I need to actually write Noam and lavender and colula and then for my other plants I’m going to be growing minutina lettuce bush beans Sweet Basil shiso wheat oats barley uh Lime Light Lime Light spray Millet I’m growing Millet this year I’m also growing poppies my front yard
Garden I didn’t plan uh my plan for my front yard Garden is to just throw seeds down cuz I did that this past summer and it turned out amazing so I’m going to do that again this summer um so I’m going to in the spring like at the end of
March I’m going to just put a whole bunch of seeds out in the garden uh in the front garden and just lightly cover them with some really good compost uh cuz last year I didn’t add any soil to the front garden and it did just fine so
This year I planted a garden in it last summer I let I’ve left it I’ve not done anything to it I didn’t pull anything out I’m going to let it do winter and then in the spring I’m going to cut down whatever is Left Behind from rotting
Throughout the winter and then um I’m going to put top good compost top soil on top of everything I’m not going to turn it or anything just in case there’s seeds that got left behind and then I’m going to scatter a whole bunch of seeds
On top in the front garden I’m going to be planting maragold and poppies and assorted zenas I’m just gonna seed just throw seeds and I’ll throw seeds every couple of days for the month of April um and then again miday and that should be enough times for a
Good Garden to take hold there so I am going to have other colors in my garden but I’m using the front garden as my other colors it’s going to be pink in my backyard garden and then whatever in the front yard Garden um but other than um
What you’ve already heard I’m also doing so I’m doing wheat oats and barley because it’s fun and then Lim light spray Millet that’s going to be for the birds a bunch of Basil again for the birds um greens mixed lettuce spinach Dill bok choy tiny little hot peppers
And catnip so the tiny hot peppers I’m growing I’m going to show you them because I like actually I just saved the whole pepper I took these from a public garden because I can’t stop myself saloia spicata do I have any of those um yeah I took that from a public garden
And they’re really cute they’re [Applause] tiny oh I crushed them well oh here’s one it’s missing the top but it gives you an idea of the size it’s a super tiny hot pepper that’s the whole size of it it’s like a decorative hot pepper why would the city plant hot
Peppers you know in the fall um how they plant C cabbages in public gardens and they um and they plant like Kale like Dinosaur Kale as in the flower bins flower baskets flower pots they also had hot peppers this year they were tiny little hot peppers like this that’s the
Size of the hot pepper and they’re just these cute little orangey red hot peppers so I took a few when I was passing by and I put them in an envelope and they dried out and I’m going to plant them because they were cute little squat plants but they
Made hot excuse me hot peppers and I tasted them not the best tasting like they’re not super sweet they’re definitely just more decorative but they’re very hot so um I’m going to grow them because they’re cute did you say poppies were hard um no poppies were not hard poppies were hard
For me to start from seed and Transplant but the poppies that I just threw seeds in the front garden did beautifully so I tried planting poppies in seed trays and then transferring the babies they were like I’m going to say out of let’s say a 100 seeds that I planted I probably
Got I got two to get to adulthood those are the ones in my backyard so out of 100 I had a I had a 2% success rate not great so um in the front yard though I just threw bless you I just threw seeds and I had I prob
Threw way more than 100 I’m going to be honest um but still I had what like 20 20 poppies come up so um that’s fine with me I’m it it was easier to just throw the seeds so I’m going to just throw the seeds this poppy comes with a
Thousand seeds it’s because poppies come with so each poppy head gives you like a thousand seeds the seed pack packets come with a lot yeah probably because they don’t germinate very much or because they’re so delicate that they get just sort of Blown Away like I
Scattered seeds in our garden and one of my poppies came up in a neighbor’s house two doors down in a neighbors’s like front garden two doors down the same poppy that I scattered seeds for so like the seeds are very small and light and they move easily so that would
Be my thought um but I was just scattering them in our yard and they managed to make their way two doors down and the person left it there and I was like that’s my poppy they don’t even know tiny hot peppers for tiny bits of vitamin C yeah I was thinking it would
Be fun um for the birds because they love pepper seeds they love uh hot peppers and they love pepper seeds birds don’t have the um the ability to experience the burn of capsacin so hot peppers when you eat a hot pepper it makes your tongue burn birds don’t have
That sense the sense of capsacin heat reactive sensors um so they can eat hot peppers without having any like gastrointestinal or um oral pain so uh they like it and since they’re tiny little peppers I can string them up on a string let them dry out and then the
Birds can chew them apart and they love it so um yeah for next year I’m looking at things that I can dry out for the birds I have to figure out where I can hang stuff to dry I may have uh to use like our laundry room somewhere I can
Close the door and hang stuff from the ceiling I haven’t really figured that part out yet but um I want to grow way more basil and let it go to seed so that I can harvest the seed heads to dry out for the birds and I want to grow I I got
Limelight spray Millet from one of my sisters it was on my Christmas wish list and it’s uh spray Millet which is exactly what birds like you have to buy it for Birds usually they love chewing it up and we ran out I don’t know maybe a month ago and they’ve been eating
Basil stems as the replacement for spray Millet and if I can grow enough spray Millet to dehydrate it or not even dehydrate it just let it dry out um then I won’t have to pay for it and it’s so expensive for what it is cuz it’s like
The seed heads from a grass and you pay like $10 for like 10 of them it’s a doll for one grass seed head just it just feels sinful so I’m going to just grow as much as I can Michelle hello everyone hi Michelle nice to see you welcome welcome
But yeah the tiny hot peppers are just to be cute and Bush Beans I’m going to try and grow beans again this year I I really haven’t been successful here when we lived on the farm the amount of sunlight we got was so beautiful that we
Were able to get huge crops of beans like I would pick an entire what like 2 L basket of beans every day and like I could pick more than that there’s so many kinds of poppies though it’s true there are so many the poppies that I have um are just
Since it’s a mix they’re just called opium poppies obviously that’s not what we’re using them for some people call them bread seed poppies but yeah I can transplant a big red one from my parents house well if you do transplant it be delicate with it transplant it on a
Rainy day like do your best to like make it not angry because even if it’s a strong perennial they still don’t like transplant poppies do not like being transplanted looking cute today thank you Michelle yes I showered this morning so instead of showering at night and
Blow drying my hair and then having you guys see what that looks like overnight this is my washed dried and styled in the morning hair did you notice I bleached my bangs did any of you notice I bleached the front of my bangs see this hair look different
Color I did this like weeks ago but I forgot to tell you and nobody said anything so I didn’t say anything but I did the front pieces here I just took a comb and like Drew along my hairline and then lightened just the front but I
Think it’s cute I think it brings a little light which is nice looking nice thank you I did before but they’re in the wrong garden bed they’re pretending to be roses maybe I should transplant some of my mom’s stuff I do have a plan to steal
Some of her eona this year so I guess I’ll also have eona in my garden must go make peppermint tea not in the mood for more coffee after being out in the cold and making my body mad that’s a good call peppermint tea is a good call oh
And chamomile I need to grow chamomile I don’t really need to cuz my mom will have chamomile growing but I need to remember to save seeds this year cuz I’m out of chamomile siede which is crazy then I transplanted those and they all died oh no hot chocolate is also inflammatory
Freda chocolate has inflammatory properties so if you’re having an autoimmune reaction chocolate is not a good thing to take it is high in arginine which means it causes expansion and inflammation in the individual cells and if you have an autoimmune disorder where your flare-ups are causing inflammation chocolate’s not for
You I learned this through cold sores because cold sores are caused when the cells that have the virus um explode which happens during times of excess inflammation so when you have a cold and your sinuses are inflamed and your fever causes your cells to be overheating and heat and
Expanding the cells that are containing the virus will explode and then the virus is able to replicate in a specific area of your face and make a cold sore so um things that cause inflammation can cause those cells to become inflamed explode and create a cold sore it’s like not fair so if
You’re a cold sore girly I got you take lysine every single day take a lysine pill try and eat less chocolate I know it’s hard I literally ate a piece of toone for breakfast but did you see me just eat one first of all I used to be
Able to eat an entire to well that’s not true like half a Toblerone and I’d be fine now I can have one piece of chocolate a day which is like it was torture for a while but I’m doing a lot better with it now but for a while it
Was very difficult cuz if I ate like a whole chocolate bar in a day I would get a cold sore the next day and I finally fig I finally figured out that pattern happening there was a time before I recognized it being a pattern and I
Would just be like I must be stressed I must be sick because anytime I got a fever I would also get a cold sore very very rude very inappropriate I don’t appreciate them however it’s something that I have to live with so it’s something that I’ve had to accommodate in my life because
It’s a virus it will never go away and it is not the same as herpes it’s a different thing than herpes it’s on my face and I’ve had it since I was like an infant um because it is transmitted by kissing babies so don’t kiss babies even
If you don’t think you have it because guess what a huge percentage of the population is actually carrying the virus they just don’t ever have active cold sores but that doesn’t mean you don’t carry the virus so if you’re like I don’t have cold sores guess what you
Can still transmit it to a baby don’t kiss a baby on the face that is not your baby if it’s your baby go ahead and kiss them on the face if it’s not your baby don’t kiss them on the face you’re going to give them a cold sore that they can
Never get rid of you know who gets cold sores in my family just me just me no one else my dad and mom not my mom said she’s had one in the past and I’ve never seen it I’ve never seen one on my mom I none of my siblings just
Me and in family photos there’s three-year-old Laura with a giant cold sore on her lip and it’s it’s not fair but there you go so when will you get to kiss Alistair never I’m not going to kiss Alistair not on the mouth I kiss
Him on the cheek I kiss him on the head I kiss him on he kisses me on the cheek uh but but no I wasn’t we weren’t no one in the family was allowed to give Alistair any kisses until he was like close to a year old it was only his mom
And his dad who would give him kisses everybody else was not permitted to give him kisses um now I am fully aware when I have a cold sore and I don’t go anywhere near him when I have a cold sore um I won’t even babysit him when I
Have a cold sore because I don’t want I don’t want to be involved in getting him that virus um but when I don’t have one it’s not transmittable when you don’t have have one um so I don’t worry about it when I don’t have one but it’s like a
Full week after you have one you’re still able to communicate that disease so I would never want to wish that on anybody so I just won’t kiss him he’s not my baby anyway and uh if it’s not your baby just don’t kiss the baby that’s not your baby if it’s not your
Baby don’t kiss them I know Alistair wants to give me kisses now so he kisses me on the cheek and that’s that for that babies are pure and deserve none of our issues and I will say it was awful to be like 5 years old and get cold sores cuz there’s a
Point where kids are mean and also there’s a point where it’s just painful like you’re a little kid and you don’t understand don’t touch your face when you have a cold sore like now I’m an adult I just handle it you know what I
Mean I take the pills I need to take I put the creams on I need to put on I don’t touch it when I was a kid that was not easy having something itchy and painful on your face means that you get end up touching it which makes it worse it’s very not
Cool anyway take lysine every single day talk to your doctor first but that is what I do now I take lysine pills which are uh the opposite amino acid to Arginine and arginine is what’s in chocolate and it’s what’s in inflammatory foods so lysine is the
Opposite amino acid so if you have more lysine in your diet than Arginine your cell won’t inflame and expand and explode if you have more Argan then lysine it could and then a cold sord could erupt which is so not cool so don’t appreciate it my friends yarn has zero moth moth
Evidence not one evidence of moth I’m rerolling all of my balls of yarn that she gave me so that I can see them all more clearly anyway I know you didn’t ask for all of that information but now you have it you’re welcome and that’s all I have to say about
That by the way have you clicked the Thumbs Up Button today because you should and also now that I’ve said cold sore so many times in this video after if you’re watching this live stream later check out the comments and see if anybody has spammed usually when I say cold sore like five
Times in the live a bot will come to the live stream and leave a comment that says I had my cold sore cured by doctor blah blah blah click this link and he could cure you too it’s just like made up so are that size of ball okay for you yeah these
This size is just fine um I might not be able to find a use for all of them but they’re useful like when I’m doing a specific project where I’m doing uh use your words Laura yes more I’m more interested in solid colors right now um but at the same
Time yes these are all good good sizes there’s some really good colors in here actually some really interesting mixes I’m really uh interested to see how this one looks a scrap sweater or a blanket yeah a scrap sweater or a blanket the cotton I won’t be able to use for that
But the acrylics yes you need to make a car emergency blanket I think we have a car emergency kit that has one of those like foil blankets that the runners use after a marathon Michelle oh man honestly the comments that are like yeah so check later come back later like come
Back tomorrow and look at the stream and see if there’s a Spam comment of someone being like cure your cold sores cuz I bet you there will be I need to make more bird toys I’ve been making a bunch of ropes for them like you can see right here there’s

Sounds nice that would be good for the cotton one actually hi I do have a quilt that is for that purpose my uh my homemade quilt hi baby how doing can I have a kiss thank you baby um also a big deal happened yesterday I was walking around
And um beb kept going give me a kiss and so I would goah thank you and when I would say baby she would say baby too so I would go thank you and she’d go baby oops Dro my yard don’t roll away can I have a kiss Thank thank you
Baby so she says baby now she also says Pika and yesterday while um my friend was over both birds were going pika pika and she was like are they saying Pika and I was like yes they really are so someone else heard it it’s confirmed it’s confirmed they say Pika
Now you want to bite it no okay I think a picnic Blanket’s a good idea for the car I want to do more bird toys which is good that I have all this cotton ouch um cotton is good for bird toys also for baby toys so
I can make aliser stuff I don’t know what stuff cuz a lot of this yarn’s variegated um like in terms of vegetables and stuff the food items obsessed with this bird look how cute she is she just sits on my shoulder the whole time my friend and I were hanging
Out last night she was sitting with me and when I would leave the room she would like fly after me and come into the room and she was like does she follow you everywhere and I’m like yes yes she does cuz we’re best friends camo bear or Turtle Michelle
Very sweet I agree she is the sweetest a camo bear or a camo Turtle yeah we could do a turtle or a bear that’s true it’s a lot of yarn I could probably do a whole project with this yarn but it’s ugly not like the color is pretty but the texture is
Rumply and I have mixed feelings about rumply textured yarn you want bite it a bear or Turtle I’ll show you all the colors again after there’s white as well and there’s some nice greens so maybe we’ll organize them by like Vibe it’s Vibes based My Vibes based yarn use it to make a
Blackberry yeah or a blueberry look it’s dark blue meow Yow Yow Yow Yow Yow Yow Yow Yow meow meow am I bullying you a warty whale yeah it could be a warty whale um what else could be this dark blue a warty shark just a generic monster I hate this texture of yarn
Working with it though cuz you can’t see your stitches it like hides your stitches so well this a lot of yarn though look how big this ball is getting it was already in a skin an ugly pumpkin an ugly blue pumpkin I mean anything can be a pumpkin
If you believe oh a witchy hat that’s probably a nice one like a summer hat but with a pointy o an octopus that’s true this could be an octopus that’s a good that’s a good idea what do you think an octopus or a funky hat yeah a funky hat
In general I do need to make a summer hat this year um that has a wide brim but I don’t know how to make it stiff yes and turn it into a Jacko Lantern style a Jacko Lantern ugly pumpkin I like a witchy hat I like an octopus
A witchy hat might be really cool actually but maybe for or or you know one of those hats that’s like a scarf and a hat attached to each other but the Hat could be pointy there’s a lot of yarn here like there’s there’s still a big ball
Underneath me just grab florist wire can get it at the dollar store yeah that’ll stiffen it enough do I crochet over it or do I insert it after I crochet the hat like crochet a bucket hat with a big brim essentially and then add the uh
Wire or do I crochet over the wire what’s the vibe are you struggling crochet over it make it the size you want okay for every round of the brim or just for the last round probably for every round cuz it would need to be stiff all the way up right hi thank you
Baby I need to start saying other things to her just the last round okay just the outer rim and that’ll stiffen it enough to hold the whole brim out here step up here Step Up Step Up Step Up come here thank you you want to bite on
It do you see her step on my finger did I save myself or did damn it she got me she got me on my wool sweater so that means it needs to be washed thanks beab appreciate it my friend was leaving and her sweater
Had poop on it and I was like this is the life that you live now if you are my friend you will come to my house and you will get pooped on made me think of that time you came to visit Candace and I was like here hold this bird and you were
Like oh so nice I love bird and then bird was like actually I’m going to poop on you great yeah you got chicken poop not parrot poop I guess that’s a bit better it was awesome yeah super snug stitches for the brim and then wire just on the
Last round to help it keep shape okay I’ll try I like the idea witch’s hat style oh yeah now you’re hungry huh from pooping you made room blasted bird so I’m hanging out with my sister today but I’m not hanging out with Alister because he’s his day care because he’s a grownup
Now what are we even going to do without Alistair there it’s going to be boring he’s usually the entertainment for us we’re going to have to like just talk to each other I guess I’m just kidding I like hanging out with her but also like my little my little cousin my little
Nephew he’s off to school now being a grownup with other kids which also means that I’m going to start getting sick all the time because he’s going to be coming home with all kinds of child child germs oops there all right that’s a big ball of yarn look at
That this weekend is going to be not a big deal weekend which is nice now that I’ve been home for a week I’m going to get all caught up on laundry again it feels like that is my life it’s just trying to catch up on laundry Alex has
Been keeping up with our dishes lately which has been super awesome for me cuz I’ve not had to do that but also there’s also that whole thing of like I still have to keep up with the laundry and I have fallen behind yet again so surprise surprise anybody doing anything fun this
Weekend or just the usuge this is another one of the it’s kind of the same kind of yarn where it’s like textured spiral it’s pretty but it’s not super fun to work with but it’s going to be great it’s going to be super but this weekend’s
Going to be kind of like boring and I’m just going to do laundry and hang out at home maybe we’ll go we have to go to Costco cuz we’re out of milk no matter what there’s always dirty dishes in laundry literally Michelle it’s like no matter what
Happens even when I’ve just finished all of the laundry there’s dirty dishes and laundry always just living in my life maybe I’ll get my haircut today that might be a good idea cuz my hair is clean and a professional can fix what I’ve done that might be an idea get some
Layers nothing special just a trim you know that could be something we do together maybe my sister needs a haircut too and we could both get one and that would be great uh I do have a full face of makeup on so I can go out in public working on
Completing seven Angel Bears still I’m really struggling to do these this time oh Alana I’m sorry are you struggling because your hands hurt and you’ve got a fibro flare up or you struggling because of who they’re for either way I’m sorry maybe I’ll do some crochet or knit this
Weekend I know I have a bunch of filming to do next week so I also have editing to finish this week who they’re for yeah yeah well you’re putting your love into it and it will be appreciated or it’ll be it’ll it’ll soothe a sore heart I don’t know if
It’ll be appreciated cuz I don’t know that they’ll be able to have the room to appreciate it but like their their hearts will appreciate it you know this is going to take take a little while I’m almost done rewinding the balls that need rewind though and then
The rest are already wound into balls and we can sort of we can organize them by by theme if you will that’ll be a good little project for us I’m really excited to see how the garden next year comes together like I think I need a couple more containers for
Gardening um and I think this year because I already have soil the first year we lived here I um I purchased like 40 bags of soil the second year I purchased like 12 and I think next year I won’t have to purchase any so I think what I’ll do is I’ll just purchase
Really high quality compost um and then I’ll just top dress all of the beds cuz the soil in them has had dead plants I’ve put eggshells and coffee grounds and fertilizer like the soil should be um pretty good soil right now um it’s had compost put into it from the
Previous year and next spring I’ll put compost that was from this winter and then I’ll put fresh like purchased compost like or like uh what’s it called manure onto it and I think this Garden is going to be the best one yet because I think that the soil is the
Healthiest so um I have more of a budget for the garden this summer because I don’t have to buy much soil at all oh yeah you out of eggshells you need some I’m not uh out of eggshells but if you have a stash of eggshells I am happy to
Take it because I will put it happily into the garden there’s no so far as far as I know I can’t overdo it with calcium so I am happy to uh to add more eggshells to my garden um yeah I’ve been doing that as we’ve been using eggs and um sometimes I just
Throw the whole eggshell sometimes I crush them up sometimes I wash them sometimes I dry them it’s like depends on where I’m at when I’m doing it but I’ve been really uh I’ve been adding a lot of stuff to this soil over the fall and um and I made a really good compost
Bin and by Spring it should be broken down enough to go into the garden and then um yeah I think next year’s Garden is going to be the best soil yet oh know the recipients are already appreciating them and they don’t even have them yet I
Made a purple one last year for one of them when they lost um The Matriarch of their family to alzheimer’s that’s so hard Alzheimer’s is literally the devil cuz it steals people from you when they’re still alive which is so rude also I hate Alzheimer’s sorry for that person and for anyone
Who’s affected by it because it’s literally the worst and it’s so scary to worry about the people you love getting it cuz once somebody in your family has had it you’re like oh cool so is everyone going to get it now I have a friend who has like a 90s
Something year old Nona who can still drive she still has perfect eyesight she lives on her own she cooks her meals she cooks meals for the whole family on Sundays she’s like she’s old but she’s fine and then there’s people who have like a 70-year-old Grandpa who has to
Like be hospitalized and in a home because of Alzheimer’s it’s like not cool my nana didn’t start having um effects that caused her to have to move out of her home until she was like in her late 80s but um still it takes away a person before
They’re dead which is like super tragic and very confusing for the family because they’re still the person they still have some parts of the personality and yet they do and say crazy stuff it’s awful watching that sort of deterioration I cannot imagine being the person Afflicted with it well that’s the
Thing the person Afflicted with it is not Afflicted the same as the family I mean there’s obviously moments where it’s awful for them when they recognize what’s going on but it’s I I would argue it’s a hundred times worse for the family and the people who love that
Person because when the person is in um like when they’re not Lucid they’re not it looks it’s hard I’m not going to say it’s not hard but it’s the people who are caring for that person go through I I would argue levels worse because you’re not aware when it’s
Happening to you but when it’s happening to someone you love you’re watching them disappear and they don’t know they’re disappearing and then they don’t know who you are and you’re supposed to care for them and they don’t know who you are and they’re mad at you and they say
Things that the person that they were would never have said it’s very confusing and upsetting and if it’s your parent like o confusing and upsetting okay these are all handicrafters it’s heartbreaking it really is it’s heartbreaking and it’s like like by the time the person actually passes
Away people are like I’m so sorry for your loss and you’re like I’m relieved they were suffering the whole family was suffering and then you feel guilty because you feel happy that they’re no longer alive but you’re not happy they died you’re not happy they’re gone but you’re happy they’re no longer dealing
With Alzheimer’s and you’re happy you’re no longer dealing with the Alzheimer’s it’s very it’s very complicated and it makes feelings super complicated because you’re like I don’t want them to be dead but I’m happy they’re not alive now it’s a very like no one wants to feel that
Type of feeling about someone they cared about like a a breath breath of relief when someone passes away GH that’s not how it’s meant to feel my neighbors are the type of people who took care of her in their home literally until she passed wow for some people that’s possible for
Some people that’s not possible it became impossible for my family with my nana um because my mom and dad would be away for the day at work and they brought nurses and stuff in um like they there would be someone who came and spent the day with my nana when she was
Living at our house and the person would help her shower and like hang out with her play cards and stuff um but it got to a point where she would get like really upset like she would just get upset and there was nothing that could be done um to help and then she
Would make people leave the house and she English was her second language so yeah it was it got it just got too hard it got too hard for the people coming to the house it got too too hard for um our family it got too hard for my
Nana it just it didn’t make sense anymore unfortunately or fortunately because she got better round the-clock care with older people it I don’t know it was rough it’s not something I would ever wish on anybody ever and I didn’t even have to deal with it cuz I was a
Kid and that’s what we went through in 2022 with my mother-in-law yeah that’s hard seriously rough again wouldn’t wish it on anybody and I would say if I were to deal with it again go to support groups get in therapy get in groups with other people caring for someone with
Alzheimer’s like that wasn’t available when I was a kid and I wasn’t the one caring for them but if it were to happen again at the age I’m at now I would not I would have recommendations like there’s got to be support groups there’s got to be people to talk to there’s got
To be uh programs and stuff and I know it’s hard to like put all that together when you’re also caring for someone but like doing it on your own is so hard yeah no thanks let’s all do our crossword puzzles everyone and try and avoid diena and Alzheimer’s as long as
Possible it’s also that people live so long now you know like when you’re living until 90 the chances that something will go wrong are obviously higher than if you were living until you were 60 like in the past that being said my friend Nona is
Like I think she’s 90 or 91 and she’s she’s still like I said she still hosts dinner at her house every Sunday she still Cooks enough for people to bring home she still lives in her own house I don’t know if she’s still driving that’s not true she was still driving last year
But I don’t know if she’s still driving now but like her eyesight is good she just has reading glasses so I mean some people no Alzheimer’s some people no dementia some people can live in their house until they’re 90 but I would say that’s that would be I would argue
That’s not as often anymore I will say I know a lot of people in the real world who have someone in their family with Alzheimer’s and no it is not fun all right so here are all the balls of my yarn now um now I have a whole new
Stash mostly burnat handicrafter cotton so I think we’re going to do a series maybe in uh starting in March or even starting at the end of February we could do a series of stitches uh like a series of how to crochet you know the single crochet the double crochet the triple crochet all
These things we could go over all of those cuz I have projects but um I don’t have anything filmed yet for March so perhaps for um March we could do a series on the introduction to crochet with the stitches and whatnot I worked in the nursing home my ex-mother-in-law lived in while she
Dealt with it I was absolutely crushed when she passed the woman still treated me like family after I divorced her son that’s lovely I felt I lost my own mother when she passed cuz we were so close that’s nice that she still treated you like family but um I’m sorry you had
To see her go through that that’s really really rough cuz it just takes away Parts which is crazy bro it’s crazy to have someone’s personality change and disappear over time like what why is that something that can happen that seems rude that seems not like a vibe that uh bodies should have please
And thank you um now I have some cotton by the way I can do some dying some natural dye stuff okay so um now that we’re here what colors should we do for our tutorials I think that this light blue will be good for a tutorial on
Stitches I think that this pink will be good for a tutorial on stitches and I think that this gray will be good for a tutorial on Stitches so those three I’ll put aside as tutorial colors I think that my rough copy for the tutorials I could do it in this cream color um
Because it’s pretty or I could do it in these like variegated colors do is there one that has gray does that have gray in it not really one with blue in it yeah I kind of want to do one right now what do you think if we do a tuto not a
Tutorial but like if I do one of the rough copies right now that might be fun that has pink in it so I’m going to do it with the pink what tutorial should we film first we could do single crochet we could do a different one crochet I have a
Crochet hook somewhere around here everywhere around here I have many crochet hooks all over the place I am a crochet hook hoarder this is who I am I know this about myself what size do we want 5.5 probably a 5 mm right feel like a crochet hook tutorial
Oh my hips uses a 5 mm 4 Mm 6 mm I could do a 4 mm oh I also did something last night um cuz when my friend came over we emptied my um we emptied my rock tumbler and when I emptied the rock tumbler I also sorted out my rocks again and I put them in
Jars so that I could look at them while they wait cuz they’ve been in baskets so here’s all my green rocks that are going to go in the rock tumbler aren’t they pretty and I filled the jar with water so that they’re prettier so many green rocks so these
Are all going to go in the tumbler and then this is my Jasper that will end up in the tumbler eventually so pretty and then I have a whole jar of unite and here’s my jar of unic kite aren’t they beautiful oh God I just poured water on electrical equipment story of my
Life it’s fine it’s fine April what polish grit do you use aren’t ours aren’t getting shiny after the last polish tumble um so how long are you letting them polish on the last last polish tumble because the shiniest I’ve gotten so I have a rock here that was from uh hold on please
Hold here here are some ones that I have that are shiny so this rock is from like a rock store A friend gave it to me you can see how shiny this one is like this is like a rose quartz but you can see there you can see the shine there that’s
Like perfect shine uh this is how shiny I can get from my rock Tumblr you can see it’s not the same level of shiny it’s still got shine to it but you see what I mean it’s like it’s like fuzzy shiny um maybe you need to put it in the
Tumbler longer here’s another one that has some shine but it’s not the same level of shiny so you might need to put it in the tumbler on that last grit those are both gorgeous aren’t they these are tumbled ones I’ve tumbled again they have some shine but
It’s not the same as like this shine this is like a high gloss this is not high gloss these are both from the same Rock aren’t they pretty like look at the details in this rock are you kidding anyway um yeah so if you are use your words Laura you might need
To put it in for another couple of weeks on the last polish um and if you’ve left them for many many weeks and nothing is getting better um another option is to go put them in for a couple of days with just borax or baking soda or like
Laundry soap and put that in the the barrel with your rocks so that it cleans out any of the dust from the grit cuz the grit dust leaves a cast on your rocks and even if you wash it with soap and water it needs to like it needs to
Like tumble and uh that’s another option and then the last option is put a little bit of mineral oil on the Rocks when you’re finished with the tumbling and that’ll bring out more shine hey get off of there that’s not yours get off of that get off thank you also this rock
Has to go back in the tumbler but I wanted you to see it today because the flash that came out of it hold on let me find the Flash come on show off your magic show us show us I swear there is some serious Flash
In this rock and it doesn’t want to show it off no that’s the reflection one sec let me find it myself first I swear last night when I was looking at it I was like wow maybe this is not the right Rock it’s annoying anyway beautiful it’s
Speckled with flash specks ah yes I see it we’ll go for longer and we’ll also try the borax yeah I would try the borax I think that’s a good recommend I found that after a day in the last tumble with Borax or or laundry soap it looks like
At least 10 times times better maybe not more than that but it looks a lot better than when it just comes out of the Tumblr uh remember wash out the Tumblr too I think the lighting plus water is not a good combo to find that flash well
I just put some stuff into the next one before the next stream you might want to take care of the back of the chair oh yeah I saw I saw I saw the back of the chair it’s cuz they sit like this and yep guess what Candice I do it every
Night I just didn’t do it last night uh usually I do it every evening uh before bed I steam with my new steamer the back of the chair before I would just use like a like a spray um but yep so imagine that’s one day worth of birds
Sitting on the back of my chair okay so what Stitch should we start with maybe just this the single crochet one two 3 4 five 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 I’m making a dish cloth what are you
Doing I think 20 is going to be good for like a little Swatch so 21 doesn’t really matter because this is just going to be the Swatch that I show at the beginning of the tutorial it’s not going to be the actual tutorial you could do a
Tutorial that leads into what you can do with it like single crochet and you could do a moss Stitch and add it on yeah but I feel like when someone the the thing is my my videos they don’t get views right away they build views over
Time so if I make a a video that’s like how to crochet the single crochet it will be something that when someone is is learning to crochet and search how to single crochet my video will come up whereas if I make it how to do a single
Crochet and Moss Stitch and make a dishcloth and blah blah blah like it just needs to be one thing one tutorial one thing if I do too many things in a tutorial then it’s a like a entertainment video um like like a bernardet banner video as opposed to a
Tutorial video a howto video which is where my bread and butter typically is my bread and butter is tutorial videos my entertainment videos are fun but they don’t give me any uh income so uh yes I could do a moss Stitch as its own tutorial but not um not with the single
Crochet the most I could do with the single crochet is single crochet um and single crochet back Loops only you know that could be one tutorial because it’s the same Stitch whereas a moss Stitch is adding a whole new element change one who do you think I am some kind of moss Stitch
Afficianado I do love the Moss Stitch isn’t it a pretty Stitch I feel like it’s time for a new how crochet Basics what should we call this series crochet Basics learn to crochet uh crochet Basics the first few stitches how to crochet from the beginning something like
That and chain one and turn oh the single crochet how good she is she do the most work honestly such a good dent Stitch you know what looks nice too I don’t know if you’ve ever tried this on any of your crochet Works um but doing a front Loop only single crochet back
Loop only single crochet front Loop only single crochet back Loop only back and forth back and forth that makes a really cute project and also um if you do front Loop only regular single crochet back Loop only regular single crochet front Loop only regular back regular front that’s a cool repeat to
Do Candace 101 how to become a hooker becoming a hooker LOL that’s funny cuz that’s what we’re doing playing with hooks we are hooking just hooking yarn that’s all becoming a hooker you guys all right H isn’t the single crochet so pretty this yarn is pretty
Too it’s a variegated pink and red and like pale pink it’s going to be a nice little dish cloth ew I felt that you just sneezed a bunch of water on me what was that for huh what was that for hey baby a kiss m ah thank
You okay so we’re going to do single crochet we’re going to do what double crochet do you think half double crochet too should I do single crochet half double crochet and double crochet and then MTH Stitch and then front post back post double crochet everybody loves that one
That’s one of my best videos so remaking that one is a good idea um and I don’t know maybe eyelet stitches you know single crochet chain two skip one single crochet for eyelet stitches how to add eyelets to any project how to block crochet feel like
Going back to the basics is a good idea for the beginning of the year cuz there’s a lot of people getting into a new hobby you know can we just have a moment of silence for how pretty my garden is going to be again oh look how pretty my garden is
Going to be it’s going to look like this it’s beautiful I’m very excited for this Garden don’t know if I told you but yeah people are getting into a new hob so I think the basics is a good project to move on plus I think I can do
A couple of videos a day and then I’ll have a backlog again cuz right now I don’t have a backlog of videos love April right it’s going to be amazing or it’s going to be nice it doesn’t need to be amazing guess you’re growing all your food at Mom’s pretty much
Yeah uh that’s the plan I’m not going to grow I I’ll probably grow a cherry tomato probably grow well I’ll grow all my herbs that’s just my flower garden Candace those are just the flowers the most important parts of my garden the pink flowers I’m really excited for it
Though like what if they all survive cuz I’m going to I got um seed trays from my mom and dad for Christmas seed trays with lids and um what are they called trays underneath seed seed starting trays uh so I’m going to be like I might
Only plant like three or four of each plant and then just see what lives I’m not ready for the garden yet I’m still recovering from last year April I don’t feel the same way as you I am all recovered I’m ready to start as soon as
The cold leaves I mean it hasn’t even come here yet like honestly winter is delayed for some reason who knows why the the climate it just seems to have changed but um let’s see okay next week we’re getting winter – 4 – 7 – 7 – 5 – 8
So it’ll be cold next week and those are the high temperatures oh my God the low next week – 10 -2 -3 e next week is going to be a little bit miserable that sucks but tomorrow’s going to be nice raining but nice today it’s supposed to start start
Raining not until 6:00 p.m. so what am I supposed to do with that still warmer than it’ll be here I mean yeah but I don’t like the cold so I mean I want winter because uh we live in Canada and we’re supposed to have winter but I
Don’t want winter because I don’t like the cold I want winter because if there’s no winter that’s confusing but I don’t want winter because I don’t actually like it you know I have mixed reviews when it comes to Winter same here winter is coming next week we have a storm rolling through tonight
You are way further north than I am and yet we are colder here that’s so bizarre that it’s colder do you have like weird land organization where you are so that cold like passes through differently I live right by a lake and right beside a mountain that could affect and in the
Middle of a city I live in the middle of a city that is beside a lake and beside a mountain so those things could all affect our temperatures and our weather in general honestly but our first dumping of snow is going to come next week probably and not looking forward we have another
Stinking storm coming through that’s supposed to keep on going which way is it going is it going my way hopefully not how am I further north than you but you know what’s weird is that there’s a lot of places that are further north in Canada than there are in the states like
Isn’t Minnesota more south than me I don’t know I’m not a doctor let me see I might be lying I’m might be fully making that up I feel like Minnesota is known to be like super duper cold right oh never mind it’s yeah it is more south no Michigan where’s
Minnesota min oh actually Minnesota wow Minnesota is more North the lowest point in Minnesota is still more north than where I am never mind but like Michigan how come Michigan isn’t Michigan is like Ontario you know or Michigan is like Southern Ontario Michigan should be pretty warm is Michigan warm I’m in South
Dakota South Dakota I don’t know why I didn’t realize how far away you are you’re not that much north of me South Dakota is almost parallel to me like the middle of South Dakota is basically parallel to me I would say we are parallel to Milwaukee Rochester South Dakota around the Cheyenne
River or the rose bud Indian reservation I would say that’s around where I am like parallel we are as South as Northern California Michigan is usually freezing but we’ve had an eerily mild winter this winter Michigan is literally surrounded by lakes I didn’t realize that you guys
Were almost an island isn’t that weird look Michigan’s like almost an island it’s not but like it’s almost an island I’m in northeastern Ohio just across the lake Ohio where are you Ohio Ohio North never eat Northeastern Cleveland Cleveland land yeah you don’t live far from me at
All we could both go to Detroit or Buffalo how far is Detroit for you cuz Detroit for me is probably like 3 and 1/2 hours Buffalo is like 1 and 1/2 hours probably the exact opposite for you Pittsburgh Steelers yep I’m in the Acron area Acron let’s see Acron University of Acron Firestone Park oh that’s pretty city it’s pretty cish there a lot of City going on um I think Buffalo is three and A2 so literally almost the opposite it’s an hour and a half for me to go to to
Buffalo 3 hour and a half for you to go to Buffalo probably what how far for you to get to Detroit less probably less time man I want to live in London but I also literally do not want to live in London have you ever heard of peely Island
It’s the most southern point in Canada um and it you could like swim to the US you have Kelly’s Island and oh that’s probably not far for you then peely Island I went there once camping it’s the most southern point in Canada and yet lame why do you guys get all the the
South part of our big huge continent why can’t we share that part like why don’t we get like Montana can we have Montana could we have New York and like just a little bit South I would love to have just some of the South please Canada’s so effing cold all the
Time those states are so pretty of course they are that’s why I want them Montana and the dtas and stuff West Virginia I wish I could live in where else do we have in Canada that’s South no it’s just Ontario just Southern Ontario do you know half of Canada
Almost lives in Southern Ontario like the population of Canada is like 540 million people is that accurate 540 million people no no that’s not right why don’t I know the number 540 million that sounds wrong I think you guys have 300 million right that means we have 5
50 how many people in Canada why don’t I remember that 38 million wow 500 million is what you guys have you guys have 300 million so we have 38 million people that’s not a lot of people California has 39 million and Canada the entire country of Canada has
38 million okay so Canada’s population didn’t go up very much between 2021 and 2023 okay 38 million almost half of our 38 million are in the southern part of Ontario so the rest of Canada is just empty or like virtually empty and yet our housing is expensive everywhere why
Is this we are 10 million Sweden is smaller Canada is effing huge South Dakota is far more pretty in spring and summer is South Dakota a little chilly and gray and monotoned in the winter I’m doing a Swatch for a tutorial that I’m going to do by the way Sweden
Is big as California Canada is bigger by a lot look at my little sleepy BB BB hi burb anyway why did I think there were I’m thinking 500,000 is what’s in Hamilton so I was saying 500 million and 500,000 the US doesn’t even have 500 million

Hard time being tired man’s field it’s beautiful in the wooded areas in the fall though yeah as is everywhere that it has wooded are crap I have to I have to add a seed packet to get at least the least order amount what should I add um you should add
NS cuz they’re awesome oh nice Deborah yeah not far at all you should add NS or I don’t know NS like where Laura Les lived uh Laura Engles Wilder I feel like this is moving along pretty quickly that’ll be a fun little tutorial how to make a single crochet dish cloth
