I like that one too. Are you making your earrings? I need a Sapphire blue and black head wrap almost a Royal blue color.
@@ears2heareyes2see Yes I made earrings to go with the head wraps. I make them out of the African fabric that I buy. For now I only have the ones you’ve seen in the videos.
@@theafricaninus2929 ok, I like those too.
What type of materials should be used. Where to buy it? I'm in Newfoundland canada
@@shirleydavis998 Hello! I’m sorry I don’t ship to Canada right now, but you can use any material.
Hey sis! Thank you for these tutorials. I am going to a My History My Heritage Gullah Geechee tour and conference in Charleston in November. I want to wear a headwrap and think this one would be really nice! Thank you!
@@ears2heareyes2see You’re welcome sis!
I have always wondered how that people do that
@@user-wg4dq5qf4m Yea it’s pretty easy.😊
I love the rope trellis method!! Your plants look amazing! ❤
@@susanschroeder8021 Thank you!
That's sweet!! Ilove those earrings!
@@ears2heareyes2see Thanks sis!
See I never think of putting wire over my newly planted seeds. The birds eat them all lol 😂
@@ears2heareyes2see It’s netting. I have to because the squirrels are gangsta over here. They eat and destroy everything I plant. I didn’t cover the flowers but they haven’t bothered them too much.
@@ears2heareyes2see How are you?
@@theafricaninus2929 Ikr! They were eating my sunflower and zinnia seeds. lol
your earrings are so pretty!! I love the shade of green 💚
@@notmisterstrange Thank you!
You are doing great 👍 congratulations. It has been a while
@@saviourekefre7583 Thank you! Yes it has been. How are you?
So beautiful😍
@@jahdior3296 Thank you!
How long did it take
@@Littlestar41752 Well there were steps to it. It depends on how big your space is. Did you watch the whole video?
Looking good. I have some spot like that too. I’m think I’m going to do the mulch also. Thanks for the idea ❤
@@msbooleo5323 Hey sis hope all is well!❤️
@@theafricaninus2929 it is well!! We must catch up. At lot has happened. I’m so happy for your journey ❤️
@@msbooleo5323 Good to hear! Yes and thank you!
Glad everything is going well for you and busy!
@@ears2heareyes2see Yes everything is well. Thank you! How is your summer going?😊
@@theafricaninus2929 it's going good! Trying to maintain. My little garden bed and container garden is slow growing this year. I hope yours is going well too.
That looked very fun!! African clothing is amazing to me!
@@ears2heareyes2see It was an awesome experience! It felt good to be there and be apart of it!☺️
Nice collection sis! I have to order something soon.
Thanks sis!
You and your husband are doing a great job. Looks wonderful
He’s not my husband he’s one of my best friends, but thanks so much!
That is so awesome! It is really nice to be with family and everything is so peaceful! Good job on your business sales!
Thanks sis!
We are doing the same thing. It's weird though my seeds worked except for 1 area.
You're garden beds looks really great!! You gave me some ideas for my small bed!
Thanks sis!
Doing it your self.savesome money 🤑
For sure!😉
I am right with you. I have always felt unconfortable showing curves, cleavage or whatever. I guess my dad used to make us turn around and go right back in the house if it was too fitting lol. I mostly wear skirts outside of home and work.
I went through a phase for a few years when I went out and would wear fitted clothes. I realized I was trying to fit in. I was miserable. Now I look back and be like🤦🏾♀️
Your daughter is beautiful! She looks like you. Your yard and garden is beautiful too. I try my hardest to get my sister and niece to do projects like this with me. Always saying it's too much work. 😏🤣 Maybe as my grandbaby gets older she will help me lol
Thank you! I’m so happy she likes helping because yes it can be a lot of work, she’s the sweetest!💕
It looks good!! Goats almost look like oxtails!
Sis, I am 53 and we have the same journey of wanting to just get back to being natural and not pleasing no one but the Most High. I started to love myself and get used t of being by myself and finding who and what Yashua wanted me to be. He sent me the right person as well because that was my prayer to share my days with someone who was a leader and to be my covering. I love your channel name. That's why I gravitated to your channel because of the name. I appreciate your thoughts today because I want to be around like minded people. 💛🙏
Thanks sis! It has definitely been a roller coaster these last almost 8yrs. Praise Him for your life partner, your king! That name hit my spirit so strong I love it too! I'm glad you got something out of the video. Thanks always for your support!🖤
@@theafricaninus2929 You're welcome!
This is powerful ❤️💪
Thank you!
Hey sis, I understand about space and organization. I have neither in my home. My wishlist is to get some land and have my own craft building where I can just be organized too for my shoemaking equpment.
Exactly!
Couple of things; you look absolutely gorgeous ….. especially in your natural self. As a continental African, after listening to your commentary and seeing the name of your channel, I am so grateful to be able to call you our sista. You are truly one of our own. I also feel it would be rude of me if I didn’t like and subscribe to your channel. I plan on following you on your journey and I wish you all the best. As I always say to those in the diaspora, Africa is not only your home but it is your birthright. Peace Kween.
Thank you so much!🥹
This is amazing to see. People doing what makes them happy, I hope more people see this video and it give them inspiration to go do something like this. I hope you have great success in your garden or flower bed. GOD BLESS AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!!❤️
Thank you so much! Yes it's a garden. Started getting it ready last year, this will be the first year planting I'm so excited about it! Thanks for your kind words and for watching!🙏🏾
APTTMH!!
Hey sis! Sorry I don’t know what that means. I’m not cool like that.😂
@@theafricaninus2929 sorry sis short for saying "All Praises to the Most High".
@@ears2heareyes2see 🙌🏾
Yayy!! Congratulations!🙏🏾🤎
Thanks sis!
Exactly sis, that is such a problem in our community, the competition. We need each other to help out. Like you said, if I have a weakness in an area that's where a person comes in to help. I know I will send you some questions. I am not prideful. When I need help I will ask. Everything will work out for the good of those who love the Most High!
🙏🏽💛🤎Hey sis, I am happy to support!! We are in this together! I am just getting started. My brand will be my grandbaby's name!
Thank you so much sis! I see you commented on it and I’m like who is that person so I can thank them?🥰 Yes we have to work together. I am always willing to help when I can. We are better together. I appreciate you! Thanks again!🖤
@@theafricaninus2929 Yes, we are!! You are so welcomed! 😊🤎
And that is so cute to name it after your grand-baby.🥰 Building a business is tough, if I can help let me know!
@@theafricaninus2929 thank you! Yes, she has to have some generational wealth to sustain her as she gets older. I sure will!
@@ears2heareyes2seeYes she does!
Another tip you could add cinnamon to the soil and it kills the bacteria
Thanks! I’ll try that.😊
That is so awesome! APTTMH
Thank you sis! God is working!🙏🏾🖤
I understand. I need so much more space too. That is so cool you have a degree in interior design!!💛 Congratulations on expanding!
Yes sis, my space is super limited. I love design and organizing, I get lost in it. I’m working on a store right now. Thanks, I’m trying!🙏🏾
I understand sis. I am like that when making my shoes. Still learning but it's so peaceful to get lost in your craft.@@theafricaninus2929
When i get my locs im gonna get it for my birthday❤😊🎉
Is your birthday this month? All 3 of my kids birthday is.😄
Glad to hear you’re getting locs!😜
I am with you! I was a believer in making my own products too when I started getting knots in my scalp and decided to go natural about 15 years ago. I am working on my products too.
The Most High is having all of us thinking of the same things, sis! It's time for us to stick together and build!
It’s time sis!🖤
Those are cute! Are they nickel free? I am allergic to nickel. I will definitely support if they are. I need the head wrap too lol
I don’t know about nickel but they are made with brass and you should probably avoid brass if you have allergies to metals. The head wrap I can’t help you with lol. Thanks anyway!💕
I may be hard headed and check it out still one day@@theafricaninus2929
Pretty! Locs grows so fast. My son just started his journey. I understand sis, I went natural about 12 years ago and it is so freeing!
Thanks sis!
Beautiful
Thank you!
What surprised me about my African ancestry was how much came from my father and mother's sides. I never knew that both had Nigerian ancestry just about evenly divided ,36 percent when combined and Congo - Bantu 11 percent. It just saddens me that because of the slave trade there is the Caucasian mixture as well. It probably came in because of the plantation owners who I am descended from as well.
Wow that’s awesome congratulations! For some reason I thought mine would be Nigeria, but no lol. Yea, to be fully African is a blessing. Thanks for watching!🖤
Never would have thought of this. Good idea to sell! I don't have any pets though. How does he deals with it on his paws? Dogs are always licking something lol
Yes I’m going to add it to my products. He’ll lick the little on the top of his paws but not the bottom lol. And thanks!
Hey sis, that was a great testimony. God will let you know when it's time to go to your next journey of life. That's how I felt in 2021 leaving the job I had been at for 22 years (during the you know what). I was contemplating but He let me know it was time to let go and I would be okay. On to your next journey!🤎🙏🏽
Yea sis He knows! We may not always like it but He knows best.
That is a great job you did! Looks good!
Thank you!🙏🏾
Lil' bit was marking the territory lol!!🤣
Gosh the cold can it harder… you did a great job!
Yea the weather is affecting everything. Thank you!
Wow! That grew very fast!😊
Yes it did lol
Looks like some of those weeds are thistle? Be super careful with those, I have been fighting thistle in my garden for years, if you don’t get all the root you just make them angry, takes a lot of consistent weekly weeding to get rid of that stuff for good.
Yes they are terrible.😑 They pop right back up so fast. I’ve been trying to go as deep as I can to pull them. This time I was in a rush because we wanted to get cover crop down right away because we were running out of time. I had been working on the pathway so it took a while to get to it.
@@theafricaninus2929thistle is the worst 😫 I’ve been fighting a serious infestation for three years, ugh. Outside the garden I finally had had enough, I used Thistledown on it earlier this summer and it worked amazing, now I just need to keep on the stuff in my garden, easier said then done 😂 I became allergic to thistle last year, even just a slight brush against it and I get a rash, so I’m so glad the spray worked, though I won’t use it in my garden but it seems to really only effect thistle and maybe a couple other things, it made Nettles wither a bit but it didn’t die, none of my plants were effected from overspray so either my careful spraying worked or it just didn’t hurt them. If you have an area that is really thick with it and you don’t have food growing next to them or flowers I highly recommend it, just be careful. If not, keep at it and you’ll eventually get it gone <3
@@lizsurbanroost3624 Thanks a lot I’ll look into it. I also have it growing in my walkway that’s irritating.😑
