Pure joy. And from underneath a pile of random stuff emerges an exquisite owl and pussycat in a boat.... The bliss of your skill always an inspiration x
Nothing messy about your room...you are an ARTIST a MASTER CRAFTSMAN....that is the room of a genius at work....and I love every inch of your room...I'm soooo proud of you Ms Marion, and I pray the new year grants everyone of your hearts desires....
For once I didn't find tidying up tiring at all 😂 Hope you enjoyed a sit down and a nice cup of tea after that. Yes I save little pots too, and invariably I do find a use for them. Your sewing room is like a treasure trove Marion, and out of it come little pieces of magic. Can't wait to see what next year will bring.
I think all crafters are doing the same: put everything on the table in the craftroom and when nobody else move it, you can find everything. The bag? on front of the book is something I want to make for a long time. But there is always something else what I also like to do. Your room is a great room, lots of inspiration for new things to make.
You always make me smile Marion. Enjoyed helping tidy your craft room today. Not half as stressful as clearing my mess away a couple of days ago. 😊i haven’t got a designated craft room, but my dining room looks like one😂. Lovely to see Naomi. Have a lovely Christmas all of you. 😊🐱❤️
I am so envious of your craft room and especially the lovely big table and cutting mat. I loved seeing what you have in there and all your little hiding places for things.
Hello again! I’m thinking all crafty people are much the same with our supplies. Thank you for sharing your craft room! I need to get busy putting my items back where they belong. 😊
Nice to see you again today Marion. My craft room is an absolute mess today as I can’t stop making little gift tags after watching you the other day. Enjoy your special time with Naomi while she is with you. 😊
Wishing you a very happy holidays, Marion. As I look back on a very challenging 2023 and I list the things I am grateful for, the people and things that inspire me to keep moving forward, I include you and your CZcams channel. Thank you so very much for sharing your projects, recipes, and even your wonderful tidying up today which motivated me to put away supplies I also had laying about 😆. I am looking forward to spending time with you and your creative spark in 2024. Best wishes, Laurie in NYC
What a delight you are Marion. Such a warm and welcoming person into your world. What a good idea to film yourself putting things away, like a little aide memoire. I would never remember in a million years where I had put the silk ribbons often a tidy up day 😂🤣. It was lovely to see the state of your craft room after you filmed the “perfect” craft room tour. I felt ashamed, but now I realise you are just as messy a crafter as the rest of us. Have a wonderful Christmas and new year. You deserve it. 🥰🥳🎉
Okay, I need a needle book, too. So maybe a "Sew Along with Marion" instruction video or videos. A simple pattern, a list of supplies and then some helpful tips sort of situation. Nothing complicated. Can't wait to see the mantle!
I just sat down after my final tidy up , though my work room felt overwhelming ,so I closed the door🤭. But after watching you sort all that loveliness on your sewing table, I was encouraged to at least sort out my table😊. Merry Christmas to you dear Marion, it has been so lovely to share the days leading up to Christmas with you. 🎄🧵
Oh yes, when we craft we put all sorts of things out…. I have a little frame that says “I am not messy, I am creating art” 😂 every so many months I also go through my supplies and never ending “scraps” (*paper, fabric, etc)…. and purge what I can part with. It has been a delight spending every day with your company Marion. Can’t wait for what 2024 will bring…..
Loved seeing your workspace and how you store things. Opened my eyes to new possibilities in my small space. Have a wonderful and sweet holiday with your lovely Naomi. So fun to see her. I already am thinking how much I'm going to miss these daily videos. I look forward to them so much and save them for the delicious few minutes they provide. xoxoxox
Thank you for sharing your stories and warmth and a few minutes with us on YT. I know it's easier said than done, but try not to stress and enjoy the holidays with your lovely family. Wishing you the best for the new year!
Hi Marion, your craft room is so lovely, and kept very neat, just what I need to do to mine. I feel like I am "sitting" with my family when watching your CZcams. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us.
Hi Marion. Your work room is the hub of your talents and creativity. Thankyou for sharing them with us over advent. Hope you get to recharge over the holiday. Take care. Xx
Thank you again for sharing your world love your videos just you your calm voice, like the sign about the cats being little people in fur coats, I am left handed & remember my head master trying to make me write with my right hand without success, enjoy your time with Naomi, finding your utube channel was best discovery of 2023 for me & my sister. See you tomorrow ❤❤
Oh Marion, I love your workroom. It's just how I imagined it would be, full of all kinds of bits and pieces waiting for you to release their beauty. I am so glad I found your channel. ❤👍from Somerset.
Oh Marion my room looks like a war zone! And I have no time to tidy it now. My sewing machine and I are taking a well earned break over Christmas - well that’s my excuse anyway :-) thank you so much for your advent blog I have really, really enjoyed it :-)
Have just found your channel. What a delight. I am a crafter but you have inspired me to try something new. Plan to start making a star garland for next Advent. Best wisges yo you for a Peaceful Christmas.
Thank you for chatting to us all while you tidy up. Your room is warm and cozy and alot of inspiration to draw from. It did not seem to take you that long to clean up your busy room. Enjoy your time with your daughter, have a nice cup of tea and some lovely cookies too. We all hope you have a wonderful and joyful holiday season.
I cleaned the dust and clutter off my sewing table just a couple days ago. Got my buttons sorted. Piles of projects ready to tackle beginning in the new year. 😅 Have a wonderful holiday and enjoy your family gathering. Merry Christmas, Marion. Take a well deserved rest with a lovely cup of tea and a gingersnap for me, too ❤❤
This was fun, being a bit of company sat to the side while you tidied and chatted with us. My cockles have been warmed through. The book (looks lovely!) *is* available on amazon for about 11 quid. Ebay has one for 66, so.. beware, people 😂 Loved the story of your mum marching down to the school and telling them you will be whatever you will be. Wish more mums had the force of will to tell more of those people where to get off. My older brother is a lefty, and while no one tried to train him out of it, he has a difficult time with lef-handed scissors. I'm not sure, but i think there is something about how they are tilted that just makes them not very ergonomic. I am naturally right handed, but broke my right arm badly when i was at a young age, so actually spent 6 months learning to write with my left hand. By the time my right healed, i was just as happy to use the left (and i had more control with it for ages, since the right was so weak and sore). I don't recommend it as a way to make an ambidextrous person, but it certainly worked 😂
Hi Marion , .I don't think there's a crafter out there that doesn't end up with a messy craft room ....it just goes with territory of being creative and needing many different supplies of whatever we need ...we can't be creative and tidy at the same time lol....your daughter is so pretty , . At 72,I try to make as many gifts as possible , I really don't like shopping or the price of things esp when my wife and I have so many grandchildren and great grandchildren to buy for .. ..hope you had a lovely Christmas. Blessings from Ella in Australia
I know not everyone has the time or inclination to make their own gifts.. but it's something I've done since I was a child and I just didn't stop as I got older... I don't have a huge family though and I've no grandchildren yet... So I suppose I've got it easier ☺️
Happy Naomi day 23 😊 I think most multi crafters have large amounts of craft things, ( I definitely do )or we wouldn't be able to make anything would we 😮 my craft room in the making has become storage space for Christmas 🤭🤦♀️ I love what ever you want to make, if you have plans then I think we will all be happy to come along and see what you will be up to next 🤗🤔🌟 there have been lots of suggestions but don't spread yourself too thin. Theres plenty of time a whole year lol to do some requests. Enjoy spending time with Your guests and take some time to relax, must be exhausted after all the advent filming this month. You have done it all so well and made many viewers happy along the way, well done, you would never know it's your first one 🌟 See you tomorrow Marion and your mantle 🤗 🎄☃️🎅
Oh, it’s nice to watch this AFTER the hustle and bustle of Christmas. Today it was relaxing to listen to you and watch a bit of bygone hustle/bustle. I have to find homes in my home for this and that. I’ll take some inspiration from you. 💜💜💜
Most of the contents of my craft room have been moved into our guest room, as my craft room recently became my office (we purchased a second business and I needed a proper workspace to do the admin and bookkeeping). Tomorrow (day after Boxing Day) we need to find space in my office/craft room for everything, as we have unexpected houseguests arriving and the bed and floor is piled high with my crafting treasures. It will be a good chance to go through things, but I really can’t see myself getting rid of much!
Thank You Marion for sharing, I happened to be tidying up my sewing room also lol Before my Children come up soon to celebrate Christmas together. I keep my buttons in an old honey jar that I bought from an Op shop as I do love old buttons as well. They are really interesting to me and hold a lot of history I think. I am also looking forward to some stitching with a few days off. Enjoy your silk ribbon stitching. Have a Lovely Christmas with your family sending you Best wishes from the other side of the world.
Hi, I’m the same with left handed scissors, been right handed ones for too long. My parents were the same about letting me be a leftie. Ink pens were another nightmare. Thanks for sharing your month with us, looking forward to 2024 with you.
What a lovely space to craft. I'm left handed and also can't use left handed scissors. They weren't available when I was a child so I just adapted to right handed ones. Love your videos and amazing creations.
That's exactly what happened with me. I've cut with my right for so long it's hard to get used to the left handed ones. But they do cut beautifully so I'll keep trying. Like anything else it's just practice I think 😊 ✂️
Thank you for all the ideas you have given me. I have also tidied up my workroom and I am looking forward seeing your new projects in 2024. Merry Christmas to you and your daughter ❤️ 💕
I’m so glad I’m not the only one with a craft room disaster! Now you have inspired me to excavate in my room! I have loved your advent series! Merry Christmas, Marion!
A very unfun thing to do but very necessary. Your daughter is very pretty. I pray you and your family have a very merry Christmas Marion and all who have visited your video. Thanks for bringing us along.
A quick tidy works wonders.... As long as you remember where you put things 😂 Lovely to spend a few minutes with you this evening, Marion. I liked the look of that owl and pussycat boat😍 Is the pattern on Ann Woods's website? As for ideas for 2024 videos... I enjoy all the things you do, but since you mentioned that you wanted to craft another boat, that would be one thing I'd love to see you do and hopefully try myself. I got red leicester cheese to make your cheesy biscuits - that'll be my baking tonight😅 Have a wonderful time with Naomi ❤
My creative Room has to be in the same Room where my bed is because my apartment is a small one 😅 so it can be messy with fabric, yarn, paper and other stuff , and I to collect a lot because it’s like almost all can turn in to something when you are creative 😅 , I like your little needle book , I would love to see how that was made if you plan to make a new one in future 🤗 it has been such a lovely December with daily visits at your home, following your creative work , thank you so much for sharing inspiration ❤
We’re all the same when we get in creative flow! I have that Elizabethan book too and definitely want to try some of the projects or designs in 2024! Cheers, Christine
Thank you so much for sharing❤ I hope you have a Lovely Holiday, you definitely made my holidays brighter the projects i didn't try this year will be next year. 😊 I am also of an age where being left handed was frowned upon. We got a rap on the hands. Didn't change a thing😂 leftys are leftys😂 Merry Christmas 🎄
I think we crafters are all the same, we find it hard to throw away anything that has a lit on it and no holes in the bottom. Why, even a plastic food container with a crack in it went up to my sewing room and is holding cut pieces for a quilting project. I’d love to see you making that sculpture thing with the wire (?) you found in the drawer. And isn’t it nice to have someone in the house making you a cuppa with ginger nuts? Have a great day 👋🏼👋🏼❤️
My craft room looks like I’ve stood at the door and thrown everything in! Must tidy it. My Gran used to get rulered on her left hand if she used it at school. Barbaric treatment.
I also was forced to learn to use my right hand instead of my left hand when at Primary School - “State School” back in those days ie the mid 60’s in Vic, Australia.😊 I’m mostly all right handed now, but I get my right hand & my left hand mixed up easily when asked, for example, whether to turn left or right, or if something is on the left or the right. I had to remember which hand was which by writing in the air with one, & even then, when I was very young, it wasn’t 100% accurate. I found that my left hand was better for playing knuckle bones (or jacks) with, & I think there were some other things it was handier for, but I was taught to be right handed all those years ago, & now I don’t know exactly what I was originally - left handed or ambidextrous? My youngest son is left handed for most things, but uses his right hand as well. They had given up all that foolishness about the right hand being the right hand by the time he was at school. 😂 Your mum sounds like a very nice, sensible woman, Marion.
My goodness! I still do exactly the same with directions... My husband got used to me pointing in the correct direction whilst saying the opposite one. He knew to take notice of the way I pointed.... Amazing you had the same experience... Must be something to do with being a leftie 👍☺️ Ps.. I was always good at jacks too. I still have the set I had at school!👍
You had your cup of tea and ginger biscuit as I was watching having my cup of tea and piece of (defrosted earlier!) Gingerbread😊 Good to see Naomi. Hope making a daily vlog hasn't been too stressful. I got a Ribbon kit to make a needlecase last year and loved using silk ribbons. Now I have plans for 2024 as I treated myself to another kit. I met the lady at the FOQ in August. Yesterday I tidied my Sewing Room and today separated all my bits of non quilt fabrics, velvets and silks (I used to buy small bags of silk remnant pieces - for 50p - when I lived near The Silk Museum in Macclesfield!) as I want to use some up doing Crazy Patchwork next year. The larger dupion etc I originally bought as backing pieces for Goldwork. One day .............!
Love your videos and thank you so much for sharing your talents, love your sewing room, very inspiring!!!! I would love to see you do a ship. I love the other ones you showed with the tour of your sewing room. But I can honestly say all you have shared has been wonderful. Thank you, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Hello Marion another lovely video. I would love to see how you weave in your yarn on the back of your knitted intarsia work. Hope you and Naomi have a lovely Christmas.
Thank you for sharing tidying up your workroom.. I don’t feel alone in getting my crafting stuff into such a mess now 😊 Lovely to see Naomi again. I’ve had a day of finishing wrapping presents, shopping, baking etc and have nearly finished my to do list.
I always feel better when I've cleaned up my work space. I need room to breathe and room for new ideas to grow and it just can't happen when I'm living in a messy room. I'd love to see you work on the doll house in 2024. It would be fun to see your unfinished projects and vote on what we'd like to see you work on again. Merry Christmas from across the Atlantic!
Lovely to see you again. My craft room is the same but I can never remember where I have put things! Enjoyed every minute of your vlogs and will be sad not to see your smiley face everyday!
Your craft room is an Aladdins cave , full of lovely treasures . You are all set for crafting when time allows. Enjoy time with your lovely daughter. ❤
Thank you Marion for your video. It was so nice listening to you chatting as you put your crafty materials back in their relevant spots. I love your craft room and yes small pots are collected as you just never know when they will come in handy for small bits and bobs. Just right to finish it with a lovely cup of tea and a ginger snap yum. Thank you again for delivering us daily content on your vlogmas. I know how much effort goes into recording,editing,rendering and uploading it is very much appreciated and been great fun seeing what you brought us each day. Can't believe one more to go!!
Hello Marion. Your workroom is wonderful. To anyone who does multiple types of crafting they will recognise instantly that this is perfect, organised chaos. I can say that, as mine is much the same. In your video there was a glimpse of what looked like a cushion quilt. Is this something you could show and talk through how you made it? I’ve never attempted one, but had it suggested to me to help use up all the wool I have left over from making more pairs of socks than I can remember. Have a really fantastic Christmas and I, like many others, will look forward to seeing the projects you have lined up for the coming year.
Hallo Marion. I would love to see more recipes from you, but I like all your content! Marry Christmas too you and your family and greetings from Austria.
Its been a lovely time preparing for Christmas with you Marion. I was inspired to make a special gift tag . It was harder than it looked. Youmake everything so inviting. I hope you have an enjoyable time with your daughter.we are spoiled by you advent days. I llok so forward to each one.a special thanks for the doll house tour.. it was so interesting. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Great tidy up, that's what I'm doing tomorrow, love the glimpse of your silk ribbons, I recently got a stash from Sarah Homfray Embroidery as she does some fantastic ribbon embroidery, check her out if you've not seen her. I'd love to see how you make a needlecase, thanks for sharing hope you enjoyed your cup of tea and ginger snap.
I spent yesterday baking your chedder😢bites and coconut haystacks..very easy and very nice. I added marmite to one batch of cheese biscuits, a great success
Hi, just wanted to say, I have been using a recipe for cheese straws for years and it says to crumble a beef oxo in, I thought it might be easier than marmite, just a thought 😊
Merry Christmas, Marion. I’ve just discovered your channel, so I look forward to Going through all your previous videos and seeing the new ones for the new year. Becca
#Our work is never done.💖😤😪☝️baking bread gifts done.👩🍳,food prep done.& dinner done. 😌 Told the kids💖#grown kids.They can clean up! today's dinner dishes.😝I am resting with me after dinner ☕💪💖☺️👩🍳🤔gonna work on some unfinished embroidery projects& cross stitch project.👍😎
Oh.. the 12 days of Christmas garland decorations are from a pattern that is available online. They're by a lady called Larissa at mmm crafts. Here's the link to her website... mmmcrafts.blogspot.com/p/twelve-days.html Her patterns are well written out and I followed the making of them but changed the embroidery a bit to suit myself. I hope that is helpful.
Merry Christmas Marion . I loved your chat as you tidied up. I have never embroidered but I'd love to start. Would you consider doing a project for absolute beginners . I do sew but wouldn't know where to start with embroidery.
We all come to the moment of truth, when there are no more surfaces to hold the clutter and so a tidy is necessary. My room actually looks much worse than yours! My mother had to go to bat for me with the school too, when I was in grade 2. My beginner teacher thought the world should all be right handed and it didn’t get sorted until I became ill and the paediatrician got involved! I’m still left handed, but like you, have had to learn to use right handed scissors. Thanks for the glimpse into your work room. You are not a hoarder, you just have collections of interesting things!😂
This was a nice video, I think a lot of us have a bit of a mess going on in the craft room at the moment hehe Thank you so much for letting us help you tidy up 😊 - Jeanette
Pure joy. And from underneath a pile of random stuff emerges an exquisite owl and pussycat in a boat.... The bliss of your skill always an inspiration x

I love your 'hoard'!! Thanks for sharing!!
I have been enjoying your company so much. Hope you have a warm and loving Christmas. Big hug from Brazil ❤
Nothing better than a cup of tea made by your daughter.
Thankyou Marion for your company, I’ve loved it.sending love and light to you and your loved ones.xxx🐝🐝🐝☃️🕊

My craft space is more often messy than it is tidy... But I do tidy up between each project. I like to start with a clean slate...
Okay, I need a needle book, too. So maybe a "Sew Along with Marion" instruction video or videos. A simple pattern, a list of supplies and then some helpful tips sort of situation. Nothing complicated.
Can't wait to see the mantle!

Yes! There seems to be not enough time to do all the things we want to do. Nice tiding up. Enjoy your time with your family. Happy Holidays.

Thank you
I have a little plaque I keep in my craft room. It reads "A creative mind is seldom tidy". I find the more I create the messier I get.😊😊
😂🪡🧵
I’d enjoy embroidery and watercolor. Your advent videos have been wonderful. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Marion. Try not to be too stressed. Relax as best you can with your family and have a wonderful time 🎄🤶🏻🌷

Merry Christmas Marion. All the very best for the new year xx
Most of the contents of my craft room have been moved into our guest room, as my craft room recently became my office (we purchased a second business and I needed a proper workspace to do the admin and bookkeeping). Tomorrow (day after Boxing Day) we need to find space in my office/craft room for everything, as we have unexpected houseguests arriving and the bed and floor is piled high with my crafting treasures. It will be a good chance to go through things, but I really can’t see myself getting rid of much!
That's always the hard part of a clear out...
Thank You Marion for sharing, I happened to be tidying up my sewing room also lol Before my Children come up soon to celebrate Christmas together. I keep my buttons in an old honey jar that I bought from an Op shop as I do love old buttons as well. They are really interesting to me and hold a lot of history I think. I am also looking forward to some stitching with a few days off. Enjoy your silk ribbon stitching. Have a Lovely Christmas with your family sending you Best wishes from the other side of the world.

😍😍😍 the green button powder puff.. also love that you have your buttons sorted by colour, a woman after my own heart 😁❤️

Hi, I’m the same with left handed scissors, been right handed ones for too long. My parents were the same about letting me be a leftie. Ink pens were another nightmare.
Thanks for sharing your month with us, looking forward to 2024 with you.
Yes.. blooming ink pens with their nibs angled the wrong way for us!
Thank you for sharing your world
What a lovely space to craft. I'm left handed and also can't use left handed scissors. They weren't available when I was a child so I just adapted to right handed ones. Love your videos and amazing creations.
That's exactly what happened with me. I've cut with my right for so long it's hard to get used to the left handed ones. But they do cut beautifully so I'll keep trying. Like anything else it's just practice I think 😊 ✂️
Thank you for all the ideas you have given me. I have also tidied up my workroom and I am looking forward seeing your new projects in 2024. Merry Christmas to you and your daughter ❤️ 💕
I’m so glad I’m not the only one with a craft room disaster! Now you have inspired me to excavate in my room! I have loved your advent series! Merry Christmas, Marion!
Good evening Marion, hope you enjoyed your cup of tea and ginersnap , well deserved after a good tidy up . Enjoy your time with Namio
😊☕🫖
A very unfun thing to do but very necessary. Your daughter is very pretty. I pray you and your family have a very merry Christmas Marion and all who have visited your video. Thanks for bringing us along.
Thank you 💐
A quick tidy works wonders.... As long as you remember where you put things 😂 Lovely to spend a few minutes with you this evening, Marion. I liked the look of that owl and pussycat boat😍 Is the pattern on Ann Woods's website?
As for ideas for 2024 videos... I enjoy all the things you do, but since you mentioned that you wanted to craft another boat, that would be one thing I'd love to see you do and hopefully try myself. I got red leicester cheese to make your cheesy biscuits - that'll be my baking tonight😅
Have a wonderful time with Naomi ❤
Yes it's on her website. I hope your cheesy biscuits came out nicely too...
So nice to see hawthorn, rose hips, and other plants which don't live here near the Great Okefeenoke Swamp in South Georgia.
I'm going to look you up on my map this very minute!
Love your pinafore.Hope you have a fantastic time over Christmas time.xx
My creative Room has to be in the same Room where my bed is because my apartment is a small one 😅 so it can be messy with fabric, yarn, paper and other stuff , and I to collect a lot because it’s like almost all can turn in to something when you are creative 😅 , I like your little needle book , I would love to see how that was made if you plan to make a new one in future 🤗 it has been such a lovely December with daily visits at your home, following your creative work , thank you so much for sharing inspiration ❤
💐
We’re all the same when we get in creative flow! I have that Elizabethan book too and definitely want to try some of the projects or designs in 2024! Cheers, Christine
Everything in it is beautiful. This year might just be the year I make that hussif on the front cover🤞🤞🤞
Thanks for the reminder😔
I'm afraid my cleanup will take 'til New Year's Eve...
I’m sad that I’m not going to see you everyday, but don’t let that worry you… I look forward to seeing your videos again…
Had a chuckle at the hidden daim bar 😂 little tinker! 😊
😂 She's always hiding chocolate for me....
Thank you so much for sharing❤ I hope you have a Lovely Holiday, you definitely made my holidays brighter the projects i didn't try this year will be next year. 😊
I am also of an age where being left handed was frowned upon. We got a rap on the hands. Didn't change a thing😂 leftys are leftys😂 Merry Christmas 🎄
I think we crafters are all the same, we find it hard to throw away anything that has a lit on it and no holes in the bottom. Why, even a plastic food container with a crack in it went up to my sewing room and is holding cut pieces for a quilting project. I’d love to see you making that sculpture thing with the wire (?) you found in the drawer. And isn’t it nice to have someone in the house making you a cuppa with ginger nuts? Have a great day 👋🏼👋🏼❤️
😊
My craft room looks like I’ve stood at the door and thrown everything in! Must tidy it. My Gran used to get rulered on her left hand if she used it at school. Barbaric treatment.
😂❤
Dreadful... I'll bet it didn't make her right handed either!
First love you yellow tops Marion😍I wish I can come and join to organized your beautiful craft room😊Merry Christmas 🎄
😅💐
I also was forced to learn to use my right hand instead of my left hand when at Primary School - “State School” back in those days ie the mid 60’s in Vic, Australia.😊 I’m mostly all right handed now, but I get my right hand & my left hand mixed up easily when asked, for example, whether to turn left or right, or if something is on the left or the right. I had to remember which hand was which by writing in the air with one, & even then, when I was very young, it wasn’t 100% accurate.
I found that my left hand was better for playing knuckle bones (or jacks) with, & I think there were some other things it was handier for, but I was taught to be right handed all those years ago, & now I don’t know exactly what I was originally - left handed or ambidextrous? My youngest son is left handed for most things, but uses his right hand as well. They had given up all that foolishness about the right hand being the right hand by the time he was at school. 😂
Your mum sounds like a very nice, sensible woman, Marion.
My goodness! I still do exactly the same with directions... My husband got used to me pointing in the correct direction whilst saying the opposite one. He knew to take notice of the way I pointed....
Amazing you had the same experience... Must be something to do with being a leftie 👍☺️
Ps.. I was always good at jacks too. I still have the set I had at school!👍
Happy Holidays Marion🎉
Thank you very much Barbara 💐
You had your cup of tea and ginger biscuit as I was watching having my cup of tea and piece of (defrosted earlier!) Gingerbread😊 Good to see Naomi. Hope making a daily vlog hasn't been too stressful. I got a Ribbon kit to make a needlecase last year and loved using silk ribbons. Now I have plans for 2024 as I treated myself to another kit. I met the lady at the FOQ in August. Yesterday I tidied my Sewing Room and today separated all my bits of non quilt fabrics, velvets and silks (I used to buy small bags of silk remnant pieces - for 50p - when I lived near The Silk Museum in Macclesfield!) as I want to use some up doing Crazy Patchwork next year. The larger dupion etc I originally bought as backing pieces for Goldwork. One day .............!
The silk museum sounds like a great place to visit!
Love your videos and thank you so much for sharing your talents, love your sewing room, very inspiring!!!!
I would love to see you do a ship. I love the other ones you showed with the tour of your sewing room. But I can honestly say all you have shared has been wonderful. Thank you,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Hello Marion another lovely video. I would love to see how you weave in your yarn on the back of your knitted intarsia work. Hope you and Naomi have a lovely Christmas.
Knitting to follow soon
Thank you for sharing tidying up your workroom.. I don’t feel alone in getting my crafting stuff into such a mess now 😊 Lovely to see Naomi again. I’ve had a day of finishing wrapping presents, shopping, baking etc and have nearly finished my to do list.
I need a good tidy up too😀
😅🎄
I always feel better when I've cleaned up my work space. I need room to breathe and room for new ideas to grow and it just can't happen when I'm living in a messy room. I'd love to see you work on the doll house in 2024. It would be fun to see your unfinished projects and vote on what we'd like to see you work on again. Merry Christmas from across the Atlantic!
🤞😊
Lovely to see you again. My craft room is the same but I can never remember where I have put things! Enjoyed every minute of your vlogs and will be sad not to see your smiley face everyday!
Your craft room is an Aladdins cave , full of lovely treasures . You are all set for crafting when time allows. Enjoy time with your lovely daughter. ❤
Merry Christmas ❤️
Thank you Marion for your video. It was so nice listening to you chatting as you put your crafty materials back in their relevant spots. I love your craft room and yes small pots are collected as you just never know when they will come in handy for small bits and bobs. Just right to finish it with a lovely cup of tea and a ginger snap yum. Thank you again for delivering us daily content on your vlogmas. I know how much effort goes into recording,editing,rendering and uploading it is very much appreciated and been great fun seeing what you brought us each day. Can't believe one more to go!!
💐💐💐
Merry Christmas to you!
Hello Marion. Your workroom is wonderful. To anyone who does multiple types of crafting they will recognise instantly that this is perfect, organised chaos. I can say that, as mine is much the same.
In your video there was a glimpse of what looked like a cushion quilt. Is this something you could show and talk through how you made it? I’ve never attempted one, but had it suggested to me to help use up all the wool I have left over from making more pairs of socks than I can remember.
Have a really fantastic Christmas and I, like many others, will look forward to seeing the projects you have lined up for the coming year.
🎄💐
Hallo Marion. I would love to see more recipes from you, but I like all your content!
Marry Christmas too you and your family and greetings from Austria.
💐
My craft room is just the same, we went away for Christmas got back last night I haven't dared to open the door yet😂
Oh dear!
So enjoyed watching you every day. It’s amazing what you find when you tidy up
I'm going to lay my table for tom
Its been a lovely time preparing for Christmas with you Marion. I was inspired to make a special gift tag . It was harder than it looked. Youmake everything so inviting. I hope you have an enjoyable time with your daughter.we are spoiled by you advent days. I llok so forward to each one.a special thanks for the doll house tour.. it was so interesting. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
💐😊🪡🧵
Great tidy up, that's what I'm doing tomorrow, love the glimpse of your silk ribbons, I recently got a stash from Sarah Homfray Embroidery as she does some fantastic ribbon embroidery, check her out if you've not seen her. I'd love to see how you make a needlecase, thanks for sharing hope you enjoyed your cup of tea and ginger snap.
That's who I got mine from..😊
Santa's workshop does get messy. You are not a hoarder, you are so creative you need to keep lots of bits because you use them.
I spent yesterday baking your chedder😢bites and coconut haystacks..very easy and very nice. I added marmite to one batch of cheese biscuits, a great success
Hi, just wanted to say, I have been using a recipe for cheese straws for years and it says to crumble a beef oxo in, I thought it might be easier than marmite, just a thought 😊
Thanks
Thank you so much 💐😊
I hope you are doing an Australian bird. When I clean my craft desk, I seem to make more mess.
🤔🐦
Merry Christmas, Marion. I’ve just discovered your channel, so I look forward to Going through all your previous videos and seeing the new ones for the new year. Becca
I hope you've been enjoying them Becca 😊
#Our work is never done.💖😤😪☝️baking bread gifts done.👩🍳,food prep done.& dinner done. 😌 Told the kids💖#grown kids.They can clean up! today's dinner dishes.😝I am resting with me after dinner ☕💪💖☺️👩🍳🤔gonna work on some unfinished embroidery projects& cross stitch project.👍😎
Please, Could you show us how to felt? Your animals or 12 days of Christmas decorations. Thank you.
Oh.. the 12 days of Christmas garland decorations are from a pattern that is available online. They're by a lady called Larissa at mmm crafts.
Here's the link to her website...
mmmcrafts.blogspot.com/p/twelve-days.html Her patterns are well written out and I followed the making of them but changed the embroidery a bit to suit myself.
I hope that is helpful.
Merry Christmas Marion . I loved your chat as you tidied up. I have never embroidered but I'd love to start. Would you consider doing a project for absolute beginners . I do sew but wouldn't know where to start with embroidery.
Beginner project starting first week of January!🧵🪡💐
Merry Christmas Marion, I do like your pinafore dress! Thank you for another lovely video x
We all come to the moment of truth, when there are no more surfaces to hold the clutter and so a tidy is necessary. My room actually looks much worse than yours!
My mother had to go to bat for me with the school too, when I was in grade 2. My beginner teacher thought the world should all be right handed and it didn’t get sorted until I became ill and the paediatrician got involved! I’m still left handed, but like you, have had to learn to use right handed scissors.
Thanks for the glimpse into your work room. You are not a hoarder, you just have collections of interesting things!😂
Absolutely! Collections of all sorts of things...
This was a nice video, I think a lot of us have a bit of a mess going on in the craft room at the moment hehe Thank you so much for letting us help you tidy up 😊
