Hi Stephanie, bless your hearts, Texas in summer is a beast! I appreciated your comments about full-time outside work and vs staying at home. It's a choice that can require a good deal of sacrifice, yet with great benefits for the whole family.

Thank you so much! I feel the same way about staying home. And yes, this heat is rough, but I always try to remember all the beautiful days we have the rest of the year :)

Hi Stephanie, this was a very enjoyable podcast. Your Fosette is stunning. I love the colors and adjustments you made. Someday I would like to attempt knitting a garment like that but I better start with a simple, simple pattern. The prizes were gorgeous and your cross stitch looks like fun. God bless!

Hi Stephanie! So many things in your podcast resonated with me!!!! Your last comments on homemaking are spot on! Not only are we there for the children but we create havens if rest for our husbands! Not to mention that they don’t have to worry about who is taking off to take this one to the dentist or eye Dr, etc, etc. a About your blanket situation…..there are so many lovely ones out there but I landed on a fingering weight linen stitch crocheted blanket. I’m loving it! It is slow but a beautiful way to use up my scraps. Even my husband and sons have commented on how much they like it. The stitch gives a nice fabric without holes. Great job on your project bag….that fabric find was perfect for you! Our family went to Texas one year for Thanksgiving and visited Homestead Heritage on the days following. We loved it and love their vision for keeping quality homestead craftsmanship alive. Take care!!!

Thank you for watching and commenting Susan! I actually cut out a huge tangent in the homemaking section about taxi-ing my kids around. I tried to cut it back though to stick to the most important points because I was going way over an hour lol. How lovely that you were able to visit Homestead Heritage - I would like to take my children back soon!

Hi Stephanie, great to see you☺️ Your sweater is gorgeous, bravo! Scrappy projects are so much fun. I am starting my northeasterly blanket July 1. If you want to do this blanket, have a look at the KZitem videos put up by the designer I think you’ll be inspired. I have also started a cozy memories quilt. I hope you have a great weekend.

The craft village sounds fun - I will try to get there the next time I’m in Texas. Blankets: Tanis of Tanis Fiber Arts made a Sunburst Granny Square blanket using a single color for each square, and I really love how that looked. I think I’d enjoy making the squares, but the seaming… This could be an unfinished project my children find after my passing. I also like the Safe At Home Blanket (little houses) and the Festive Forest Blanket (triangle trees). I think both of those are worked in strips, then sewn together.

Hey Stephanie, I just found your podcast! I had to crank up the volume to hear it, but really enjoyed it. I am totally salivating over that vinyl collection. I am a huge music fan & name my podcasts after song titles. I also was a homeschool mom (my daughter is completing her diploma in an online program) I really enjoyed your conversation on homemaking. I have been a stay at home mom for 14 years now, I can't even believe it. It is a big blessing to do so and your right, we make sacrifices. Vacations? What are those? I wouldn't change a thing though!

Thank you so much for letting me know about the sound! I will try to improve that for future videos. LOL about the vinyl. It is my husband's and 95% classical orchestral music - it is his hobby to seek out high quality recordings. hahahaha vacations?! Isn't that just when you visit family? But I really wouldn't change it either. Thank you for stopping by and I am looking forward to checking out your podcast!

Hi Stephanie. I’ll be excited to see the tee that you’re making all finished. It looks like a neat pattern. About the blanket, I’ll just say that I don’t mind seeming, but I wouldn’t enjoy seeming all of those squares together.

Now I finally know what the stash fluff is! 😅A few years ago, I made a scrappy yarn blanket with fingering weight color sample yarns from the LYS I worked out, which had closed. I made mitered squares after I had done a modular sweater of mitered squares. It was a lot off fun and I get a lot of compliments on it. It has a lot of ends to weave in, but if you're planning on a scrappy blanket, you're probably already going to have that, anyway.

Your Fosette is just lovely! It was so nice to hear about your other crafting too! I really like the idea of trying out drop spindling, but that will have to wait a while. The last thing I need right now is another hobby!! 😅 And you were right, that nature sampler is much bigger than I thought it was! But I love the progress you've made so far. It's going to look amazing!!! Your project bag is very cute. The fabrics you picked look so good together. I loved hearing your talk about homemaking. Do you have any tips or recommendations for budgeting? Things you've used and found really helpful? With the move we're getting ready to make, we need to be more careful with our money and I would really like to have a better system for planning out expenditures. That's one of the ways I want to keep working at being a better wife/homemaker by making sure I'm being as wise as possible with my purchases.
