How can anyone listen to this podcast and not have SOMETHING to say?! I had so much fun – I laughed like a crazy woman. You are all so blessed to have each other! I thought my husband would likely agree with most of what your men had to say. He’s pretty good at listening to me when I get stressed and he’s been hugely supportive when I have to make a difficult decision that could go sideways. What struck me was Sam’s comment that he can’t wait until Helen is making enough $ that he can stay home and assist her. After about 5 years of being self employed, we were able to do that and Erich loves it 🙂 He does everything. Yes, he too is a bit of a neat freak and domestic diva (he doesn’t sew but he loves to hang around when I’m sewing and help out if I need him to thread the serger, pre-washing and folding fabric 🙂 ) What he loves the best is taking care of me and he does an amazing job of it. One day Helen you’ll have that too 🙂 Gratitude to all four of you for making this last hour another highlight in my week and Happy Holidays! I wish you all an even better 2018 than 2017 was.
Thanks so much for sharing that Kathleen. We’re so glad you enjoyed this episode! Happy holidays and all the best for 2018 🙂
That was the cutest ever! I listened on my drive to work and I’m sure I got a lot of odd looks when I was laughing!
Merry Christmas and I’m looking forward to a lot of fun podcasts in 2018!
Merry Christmas to you too Barb! Thanks so much for listening 🙂
What a great episode and I will get my husband to listen one day- AFTER I have made him some Hudson pants, lol!
LOL – great idea! So glad you enjoyed the episode 🙂 Happy holidays!
This was a fun and hilarious episode! I love your men! I think Shea could honestly be a comedian.
Thanks Peggy! Shea will be so glad to hear that! <3
Just feel like I’m hanging out with friends! LOL
This was wonderful. Hooray for supportive boyfriends!
Almost passed this one by and I’m SOOOO glad I didn’t! So wonderful to hear from your guys and just how loving and supportive they are! One of my fav episodes yet!
Thank you so much!
I’m trying to catch up with all your podcasts and am enjoying it so much! Episode 20 with Sam and Shea was especially good! I love the way your guys are so supportive! and funny!!!
Keep up the fantastic job that you’re doing! I don’t feel alone anymore! I feel like I’m getting up to speed in becoming a part of this great community of sewists. Thank you so much for being there and following your passion!
Thank you! We are so glad you found us. Happy sewing!
I know I’m behind but I’m catching up! I’ve been unwell and this episode has really, really cheered me up. I had a really good belly laugh today thanks to you 4 and I really needed it! Thank you kindly! Xxx I love having your podcast on while I sew, it’s like entertaining company who I don’t have to tidy up and make tea for – winner!
This was such a fun episode. I enjoyed “meeting” your men.
Hi Helen and Caroline!
I love your podcast already but today I listened to this very early episode and I laughed out loud so many times. I think you four should launch an audio sitcom! You are so much fun together, and what funny and sweet guys they are.
Congratulations!
Stef, Melbourne
Hi Stef! Thanks so much for listening and for this kind comment. It really made us smile. We do have fun together! Hope you are well and that you have a lovely day!
