Here is a couple of dollars towards that broad rake that you need. Happy Holidays.
KAYE! loved this story time!! You have such a very interesting life, with real life stories in areas most of us have no knowledge about.
YES please commit a video to seeing, your knitting etc. it would be enjoyable.
Thank you for speaking to us from your heart about memories that are endearing to you.
I love your stories Kaye!
Would love to see your sewing and knitting. My sister used to do that and crochet. Wish she was still here. She never taught me but i have many hats and afghans she made for me
Enjoyed the stories…
BTW..did you do commercials in the 70s? I can across a video and was seeing if I could spot you in any of them 😉the channel is Remember these ads?
I’m so glad you are feeling better. I love your stories and I’m always interested in beautiful handwork of all kinds. Your sweater looks so scrumptious. I love to knit!
I am thrilled to learn that you are also a knitter. My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was young but I learned to knit when I was a teenager. I left it for years and then took it back up again when I had my son and, like you, I was absolutely all in, so to speak. I have knitted so many socks, I do not need anymore and my family all have hand knit socks, and I cannot count all the hats, cowls, shawls, sweaters, etc. Needless to say, I would love you to share all of your knitting, crocheting and sewing. I believe our world, and especially young women, need to see the value in creating something ourselves, just like growing our own food. It is one more way we can be self sufficient and not be led by the marketing and mass consumption proponents. There is nothing that compares with a 100 percent wool sweater, socks, hats, etc. for warmth and far surpasses mass produced, synthetic materials. Beautiful colorwork becomes heirlooms. Please share your work until garden time again. We will love it. Blessings.
What a treat Kaye! Love your stories!❤
I enjoyed listening! I need to get back to sewing and crocheting. My aunt taught me to crochet and she did knit!
Thank you beautiful lady for sharing your wisdom and wonderful memories. I can you listening for hours. You are bringing peace and strength to my life in this crazy world. God bless you from Polish/Canadian family in these very difficult times…
Aweee Kaye. Iv been waiting for storytime! Thank you thank you. I'm so glad you're feeling better.you are just looking better and better. Just so beautiful.❤❤❤

I missed you so so much and wondered why you have not being showing up lately….glad to see you in story time!.literally binged on your late bloomer 1.0 as you have become such a habit now and i love watching your shows almost everytime when i have my breakfast, lunch or dinner…so yeah…please take care and love to the cats!
I love your gardening videos. I enjoyed this, too. Great topics for wintertime.
You are so talented Kaye! I would love to learn how to knit….I know only very basic knitting…don't know how to end it. You have natural talent….my mother was like that. My mother would see a dress in the J.C. Penny window and she would draw it on a small piece of paper, and would cut a pattern out of a brown paper grocery bag, and buy material and sew it….and it would look exactly like the dress in the window. She made all under garments, lined coats, poodle skirts, silk roaring 20's dress, wedding dresses, just anything you would want….she was self taught too. She loved sewing, and still sewed when my sisters and I had to thread the sewing machine needle for her because she could no longer see the eye of the needle. She was phenomenal!! I miss her!! Thank you ❤❤😊
I would very much be interested in a sewing/knitting video/s. Thanks!

I would like to see your buttons,I collect them,too.They sell for $$ on ebay now.A sister in NY sent me some from Tender Buttons years ago.
Amen!! Talk about discipline. I had great parents. My dad was a military Chaplain. I know exactly what you speak of!! Wish kids today had our parents. We wouldn't have nearly as many problems!! Hope you'll be all better soon. Love and hugs. I have ginger extract going tomorrow or Sunday. I'm going to fix candied ginger, set it to dry!! Also have a head of cabbage for sauerkraut. Not much canning lately, but I got 567 jars!! God, bless.When we went to Guam when I was little, all my shorts and midriffs were made from feed sacks. Grandma had chickens and used the pretty fabric to have my outfits made. My mom was also an excellent seamstress and cook, she didnt teach me either. I'm also self taught. A neighbor taught me to crochet and I knit a sweater for my first baby. ❤❤
Kaye, it is great to learn more about you! Thanks for sharing. I love sewing and crocheting but have not tackled knitting. I flew to NYC to meet my former roommate who had moved to Long Island, NY and had gotten married. We met in the city (it was May 2002) so all the 911 items people had left in memory of their loved ones on fences lining the streets and near the former twin towers – area was closed. We went to the fabric district to "Sposa Bella." I thought I had died and gone to heaven. My mother had taught me to sew, learned alot from watching and learned some in Home Economics in school. I did the same thing…see something beautiful in the store, go the the fabric stores, flip through the catalogs, find a designer pattern, buy fabric and make a look a like. I sewed to be able to have a high end style. I use to sew all the time when I was single and broke. I made all my dresses and suits for work. That was the dress code at the time. Anyway in NYC at "Sposa Bella" I bought all the fabric for my wedding dress without a particular pattern in mind. Took a few patterns I found at home in catalogs and combined them to make a dress I loved along with sewing on beads I bought at "Sposa Bella." It was such a wonderful experience I will never forget. I remember girls in there paying for consults and drawings to get a designer dress made. Amazing place! There is nowhere to buy beautifyl fabric anymore if you don't live in NYC. I have recently in the past few years got back into sewing slowly and now find nice used clothes at thrift stores and use the fabric from those items to make something new.
