Hang in there! This is hard. I’m losing alot of my crafting energy. Stick with us young lady! If you only knew how important you are to us, speaking for myself. I love/need to watch you. You keep my head above water! Bless you 🙏🏻💋

These are just lovely! It's a great way to create, spend some time in the moment, plan and dream of a better day, and pretty soon you have a nice pile of pretty pieces to use in a variety of ways. You are a precious soul, Natasha, and when asking yourself, "what's the point?", you answer it by saying that it brings you joy. That should be all the reason you need. Plus WE need you to create these great things to inspire us to do more and spread the joy!❤❤❤

Sherrie Clark. thank you so much for your fabulous tutorials. My friend and I coordinate our crafting by watching your together by phone. You have brought us much joy in these dark times and we so appreciate your willingness to share your wonderful ideas. Thank you for sharing your feelings as I have felt some days what is the point and then we watch you and accomplish so many endearing projects. So please continue to share so we can be uplifted together.

Sending you big hugs 🤗. One day at a time. The struggle is real. Don’t give up crafting and creating because for people like us, it feeds our souls. Also be kind to yourself. Who would have ever thought the entire world would ever need to be in quarantine! Not I, and I’ll be 64 this year. Love what you did. Gave me some ideas! 🤗

Beautiful embellishments & good ideals for journal covers. I just keep crafting something new everyday to keep myself busy. You are valuable to all who watch you & appreciated for you new ideals. Stay positive & think happy thought, & remember “THIS TO SHALL PAST”.

A year later and Queensland still hasn’t open the boarder. I watch you as your lovely voice and showing us how to make all these creative items calming. I am on the hunt for beads, laces and vintage pictures to start crafting. Found a stash of things at my mum’s to get me started.

Dear Natasha, Please know that you are vitally important to so many of us ...I read the messages from all around the world from people who have turned onto your talent, and believe me, you ARE making a difference... I have come to your channel just to hear your voice, you calm me and inspire me.. I have been a working Artist for 84 years.. (I'm now 86 ) and still making Art every day ! .. Yes I was drawing at 2 ! I also feel a strong connection with the others who write to you, and express their appreciation of you so elequently ! Please draw strenght from all of us who have never met you in person, but love you for what you have done for us !

It is difficult for each of us....day by day......please carry on crafting....we love to see you....🤗☀️

Natasha, I know what you mean about keeping yourself busy during these trying times, if I wasn’t busy making masks for anyone who needs them, I would definitely be making my journals. I think staying busy and making something that is beautiful, or doing something that gives you joy, helps keep the blues away. I have had so many people ask for masks that I am busy from sunup to sundown, and there have been a lot of sleepless nights trying to make enough masks for the ones who have requested them. I had made a ton of little fabric stuffed bunnies for my grand kids Easter baskets but I don’t feel comfortable sending them in the mail now, so I just put them in a basket with a sign that says “ These bunnies need a good home” so when people come to pick up their masks, they can choose a cute bunny to take home with them. Everyone has really enjoyed them so far.

"Where's her legs?..." 😂 I agree, she needed her legs. Thanks for the great ideas and sharing your feelings about the effects of being in lockdown. The wave of trying to stay positive versus anxiety versus "what's the point" is spot on for many. I'm near New Orleans, USA and riding that wave too. When you feel like "what's the point" remind yourself that you are providing a valuable source of therapy for people all around the world! Stay well!

Love your crafts there beautiful tfs

I always look forward to your videos. I love hearing your accent and your actual conversation. I love how you give us a blow by blow of how your mind is processing whatever it is you are working on. That is soooo helpful! Also, don't forget we may not know what tomorrow brings, but we can know the One who holds our hand through it all. This too shall pass! You're a beautiful soul and it comes through.🧡

Hello Natasha, I love what you have done here, they are all very beautiful. Keep your chin up honey, we are all in this together. xo

Oh I was so saddened to hear you are down 🙁. I so love your videos and the beautiful things you make! Please know there are many here that really appreciate the terrific crafting that is presented on YouTube and your tutorials are some of the best I’ve seen! I just want to say thank you for all that you do ❤️

I often feel very similar to how you feel. Originally I come from Poland and I have never been through as extreme ordeal as you have but it was hard. For some reason what is happening here, now brings the memories back. I think its the uncertainty of the future and the police state we seem to be experiencing, plus many other things connected to this situation. Sometimes I'm down, other times I'm up but its like living in constant anxiety. I know most of us feel the same. Crafting is great and it does help, so let's be crafty and arty as much as we can on any given day. And if we take a day off that's OK too. Lots of hugs.

I hope you continue your artful inspiring videos that motivate me each time I watch them. I have severe back pain and I only can work at my art desk for sometimes only 20 minutes anymore. I still try though because what you do helps me believe that I can at least do one and sometimes more than one. You are very gifted and we, your viewers, are all better because of that gift you so freely share with us. Thank you. Also, know that this pandemic will end and you have helped many of us be distracted for a few minutes with each of your YouTube videos. 😊

I am crazy over the moon for these! The lace was a great idea. I never would have thought of it. I didn’t go out much before either. I thought I would have no problem with staying in either. I have found, however, that in the last week and a half my emotions are up and down the charts. Thank God for my YouTube buddies. You are keeping us all sane. God bless. Stay safe. Shared to Pinterest, so others will find you.

I like how you make use of old books and bring them back to life as beautiful embellishments!

The point of these videos is helping so many people. I have been blessed by you. You could be a teacher because of the way you patiently explain the process by words, actions and images. My heartfelt thank you ! BLESSINGS
