2013 is just about over and I can’t help but be thankful for everything that has happened this year! I’m thankful for both the good and the bad. Just have to keep our heads up and continue to look ahead because 2014 is sure to be an even better year!
I hit a huge milestone this week with your help! 100,000 YouTube subscribers! Isn’t that crazy?! WOW. Thank you for your continued support. I promise to bring you even more great videos in the new year. {If you’re not yet a subscriber click here to become one!}
{P.s.- Yes, that is me. I blow dried my hair straight and people are having a hard time recognizing me! Watch the video to hear me talk more about it.}
I have big plans for Crafty Gemini in 2014 and I put together this video to share some of my 2013 accomplishments and what you can expect to see from me in 2014.

Congrats on all the great accomplishments! Your blog looks great, too! I first heard about you when I was a finalist for the Craftsy blogger awards for tutorials. Then I wrote an article for the Jan. issue of Quilty and saw your article and pattern there as well (great job on both!) You seem like a fun energetic person and I look forward to watching more of your you tube videos 🙂

Congratulations on all your 2013 accomplishments! I watched your video, and in regards to your weight loss and needing clothes, I wanted to recommend a sewing pattern for jeans that fit curvy girls. I love Jalie 2908. I have made 3 or 4 pairs from this pattern. I lost lots of weight in 2013, and now I’m pregnant, so I don’t fit into the smaller pairs, but I’m fitting into the larger pairs I made, and am considering making a maternity pair. The pattern is a great starting point if you’re looking for jeans since I know being curvy it’s not easy to find a good pair! I mixed sizes for the waist and the hips to make my ideal jeans. You can see the different pairs I made on my blog here: http://adriprints.blogspot.de/search?q=jeans Happy New Year!

Congratulations on so many wonderful accomplishments and such a fabulous start to the new year. I am looking forward to seeing all that you do. I am not so much of a quilter but, I love sewing everything. I do have a t-shirt quilt on my list of things to tackle. I am not sure how jersey knits work in quilting. So, I kind of have that one on the back burner for now. Anyway, looking forward to getting the Quilty magazine just to read your article.

Sorry Vanessa, but I like your hair the other way. Straight does not fit you.:-)

Hola Vanessa, soy seguidora tuya desde hace mucho tiempo, incluso antes de nacer tu hija.Me encanta la forma que tienes de trasmitir y enseñar, así como todas tus peripecias diarias viviendo en una granja, pero últimamente me cuesta seguir tu blog y tus vídeos pues no se nada de ingles y me apaño con los traductores, aunque mal, por eso echo mucho de menos los tutoriales que hacías en castellano, ya que en la red hay pocas personas que enseñen costura y menos patchwork en castellano y no poseo medios y sobre todo tiempo para desplazarme fuera de mi pueblo a adquirirlos. Es por todo esto que tampoco me he apuntado nunca a tus clases on line que supongo das en ingles. Te rogaría, por favor, te acuerdes de todos aquellos hispano hablantes como yo que te admiramos y seguimos y vuelvas a dirigirte en este idioma siempre que puedas aunque comprendo que es algo más complicado y no siempre podrás. Gracias por adelantado y enhorabuena por tu cambio de imagen y sobretodo tu perdida de peso deseando me digas como lo has conseguido en tan poco tiempo pues me encantaría conseguirlo yo también. Un beso y suerte.

LOVE ALL OF YOUR YOUTUBE VIDEOS. THEY ARE SO HELPFUL, EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND INSPIRING. I RECENTLEY SAW YOU ON “SEW IT ALL” WHICH I WATCH EVERY SATURDAY MORNING. YOU WERE GREAT ON THERE AS WELL. Thanks for sharing all your great ideas and videos.
Take care and Happy Sewing!
