so i'll hold it i love the lace oh my goodness up your alley yes it is when i

and i will make one i'm just not going to make tonight but believe me i'm going to make one
yeah uh if you saw in the comments uh we're ha julium is having a great sale right now
the 9x6 gem cut fire polished beads for only 38
and they're they're beautiful trish is used a ton i've used some yeah yeah i should have brought all mine
up here so i could shut it off a little bit yeah i didn't think of it either i
is the sun okay do you think is that i'm gonna be coming down yeah can i close
the curtain on the top of your desk not totally
let's see i'll flip down and we'll see how it looks let's see how oops i did not need to do that wrong button
stop the camera hi zach hi honey so glad to see you let's see i
have this camera up so high it looks like um oh yeah it is i'll have to go okay
i don't know yeah that's bright all right give me a sec i'll be right back patty that'll be so pretty to use the technique with it with a choker oh yeah
that'll be gorgeous that'll be really gorgeous i'm just gonna drop this down here guys
so it doesn't look so creepy that i'm looking
excuse me there we go we don't care sun here in central pa so i love
yes we're glad for that we're definitely glad for the sun so if you haven't seen yet this is our
project for tonight lacey lacey nicey
so i made it as an anklet but you can certainly do it as a bracelet or it would be a
really pretty choker too beautiful yeah i think patty said she's gonna do that yeah and then i have a wooden button
just with a pretty design on it but um jules has lots of lots of and she has
plain ones so you can put a pretty design on but for today i'm going to use this one
but yeah so i'll show you what materials we need for tonight
so spotlight you babe how about that oh yes please
there we go so we have eight o's two colors of edo's
and then two colors of eleven o's is what you're gonna need and a fun bead board
i think last i heard there was three more left for this month's uh
creative soul box and this comes with it so i love that little board oh my goodness it's perfect size
i know so cute uh you'll need some hemp now somebody from another country was asking
what other kind of material i would say anything that you feel is strong enough and holds
together um maybe waxed linen um [Music]
i'm trying to think what about like s lawn or cedar oh yeah start thank you i couldn't pull those words
that's okay so you want a heavier kind of thread you know if you want to do it with the
wildfire by all means you could i i just i i i felt like it felt beachier and
just kind of you know gave it a a beachy summery vibe by doing this but
you can certainly do it with the beading thread too um
a pair of pliers to help put your thread on your needle and a pair of cutters
and a loom so not too much is needed tonight i know some people already got
their their supplies and so hopefully
if you're new tonight i will go over warping this is our small wisdom wire
it is the same size as the original jewel looms you could definitely do it on either of those looms you you could
do it on the large wisdom warrior too um
so to do an anklet you'll need um i used a sewing measuring tape so you'll
need to measure your ankle and then you're gonna take one inch off of that
so like i have a nine inch ankle i'm gonna bead for eight inches
um and then that leaves same as bracelets leaves that room for the button or however else you choose to
close it you can choose to close it in different ways i just like the way the button looks for for the anklet i don't
know it's going for that summery yeah i think you nailed it
but i am going to use blue in the original yes i used white but i'm going
to use blue so you can i hopefully that'll pop a little more for you guys to see
white kind of is hard to see online um
so it is only three beads wide so we're gonna
make a base first very simple base that's three beads wide the pattern is
two rows of a solid color and then two rows that has two solid
color and then your accent color in the middle so the one i used i it doesn't come out
online how pretty this bead is but it is um
the transparent rainbow black diamond it's like this gray shimmery
uh toho that that jules has and when you look at it in person it kind of has like
because of the a b on it it has this shimmer to it so it's got like a jewel-ish tone to it so i really liked
almost felt like diamonds obviously not diamonds but it was it was fun
so you're gonna take your loom and whether you have the original or the
small wisdom warrior you're gonna take and you're gonna tie a knot
oops hit my light there
see we've got some new friends if you want to say hi so let's see let's scroll up
and see who joined us here i think i saw yes i did
kelly came in rosalinda debbie nicole
joanne is here hi everyone let's see further down vicky i said did
i say mickey already no i don't know i think he's here robin
wow lots of friends um deborah
jones [Laughter]
becky oh robin got her bot her beads today awesome very cool very cool
so i'm just linda says that was her favorite seed bead color i really love it too i'm surprised i
hadn't used it yet but um so i have this the thinner hemp so this
is 0.5 so yeah so just you could do it with the thicker i just thought it made it more
delicate doing it with the thinner so you're gonna lay it in a groove up
top and then come all the way down and try your best
to eye it in to the right groove on the bottom and then with
the small wisdom wire i hold it right here to hold the tension and i
actually i wrapped twice and i have some old stuff on there excuse me
it happens yes come on all right we'll wrap twice
and that helps hold the tension since we don't have the bar like the original and i'm only gonna
skip one okay then we're gonna wake make our way back up to the top
skip skip one hold it there and wrap twice
and back around so if we have three that means we're gonna do four warps
skip one laid in the groove come to the bottom
wrap twice skip one and of course
my hemp would get knotted right there [Laughter] that's how it always is right it's like
it plans to do that i don't know that experience myself them with wildfire too
and then wrap twice and i hold it when i need my
cutters gonna trim it
get my extra hemp out of the way
and then i'm holding it down here so that i can slide it underneath
and tight tie it off so i slide it underneath create that loop while i'm holding everything
and then pull it tight and repeat the thing that's really nice about the
0.5 is it falls into the grooves nicely you get the larger hemp
or larger thread it may not sit as nice in the grooves but you can definitely
push it down that it holds it
so when you get your wildfire you're gonna do about if you're if
you've loomed before go ahead and do like two wingspans if
you're new to looming do about one to one and a half okay uh doing the two gives us enough to do
the lace up the side but if you're new to beading it's a lot of thread to be trying to handle so
bonnie is in hi bonnie of course miss sack is here we're always
happy to see her and melanie says forgot it was thursday and then saw the text my bad oh good oh good
she said thank you for the text so thank you joan for sending oh yeah we do appreciate you i'm so glad you saw that
that's awesome all right so you're gonna take one end of your wildfire now make sure you need
enough up here um to either do your button or to do your button uh
hole so we're gonna start somewhere around here so the the one thing i've noticed
with the small wisdom wire and the large wisdom warriors is you don't have as much extra waste
so you need to move down a little bit more but you know if you have a larger ankle make sure you measure out and make
sure you have enough room for how much you move down if not you could do this on definitely
do this on the large wisdom warrior and have plenty of room
but you have to move down a little bit on the small wisdom warrior compared to the original just so you have enough
extra leftovers it's just a shorter distance from the
knob and for our new friends and old friends uh
just taking your pliers and squishing down the very tip
of the wildfire makes it easier to thread on your beautiful jewelry needle which for me was sticking out right
there hanging out on my little piece of cork waiting for me i love that
when i first opened my box i thought something was wrong yeah i did what happened
to you and then it dawned on me took me a moment
so our pattern tonight as i showed you earlier is
a total of four rows so two rows of your solid color and then
two rows with your accent color in the middle okay and that's what our pattern
is pretty straightforward um so i'm gonna pick up
first time using my board yay now pick up my three seed beads
make sure you go underneath your warps
and slide your beads all the way down now i like to start at the top of my loom but i know that trish likes to
start at her bottom of her loom and either way is fine um
it just looks a little different when you're so you go underneath first
and then you go over the top through all the beads and make sure i always look
to make sure i can see my needle in between
the beads i don't know if we can get that to focus there there we go well
so that's a good way of knowing whether you've made it through and having a different color hemp always helps when i did it
with the white hemp i'm like inside so okay so you can see it really
well um jones says i cheat and use the beadalon big eye needle for looming more
than half the time lol sabrina says hello and vicki say is says
i eyeballed it if it's too short for my ankle it'll be a bracelet if it's too long it'll be a choker
oh there you go great idea so i picked up three more of my solid white color
and irina says what am i doing wrong i'm trying to place an order but it will not work oh
hey senjul is a text yes she'll be able to help you walk through that that's a great idea
ah did you use one of our links maybe our links are broken does joan need to send you a new link
you could try through a new link i don't know does anybody else try and have trouble
it's fun
all right so now we're gonna add in our accent color i'm gonna pick up one solid white
my really pretty gray sparkly and another white
i'm just sliding it down so since it takes a little bit since i
picked up two wingspans if you don't know what i mean i hold my arms out completely and
take make the thread as long as my arms would be one wing span and two would be
doing that twice but if you're new to this maybe just doing one or one and a half
would be good so you don't get all the tangles and
it's real easy you just add in the same way just tie off the new piece
and add it in as if it was the original
so i'm picking up one white one gray and one white
hi elizabeth welcome in i'm glad you were able to get in
and then so under the warp lay in the beads go and then go over top
of the work and go back through the beads same as as we do each week
basic basic weaving here so i'll do a couple more and we'll move
on to the lacy goodness since that's really the newer stuff
unless we have new people and i can repeat a couple more times not a problem just let us know
oh it's lizzy okay hi this lizzy
so i picked up three i'm going under the warps pushing the beads up through
and then going over top of the warps with my needle and making sure i see my needle
and then pulling through i often beat on my couch on my lap
so it's different to beat at a tip you do too yup
i like to have it at an angle i angle it up but that doesn't work to teach you guys
no no it works for my vision though
so as zach says the gray aurora borealis beads remind me of kind of like
labradorite yes yes so
oh and melanie's using her board right now awesome they are lovely
lab dora is very pretty yes yes so you could just tell everybody it's
labradorite right [Laughter] not quite but we're all fancy it's
laboratory color there we go
all right now i'm going back to the pattern one white one accent
and another solid so really whatever color this real simple pattern so
whatever colors i have my light right here and my
microphone so i don't have a lot of mention yeah i hear you girl you have all the arm
movement i normally do
but yeah yes elizabeth or lizzy excuse me sorry
um she is using a does on the base you're gonna need two types of vados and two types of the lemon o's for this
project two colors so i'll show the project again for those who came in a little late so the
base is eight o's and then the lacy part is lebano's and i'm doing it with hemp but if any
kind of stiff kind of beading thread you want to use for your warps works and you could use
the wildfire too um all of that works it's just a four row pattern
um two rows of the solid color and then two rows with your accent color in the
middle so we did warped four and we have three beads
going across for all our new friends
and then go on nut so it went under the warps and now over the warps and that had a big
profile waffle
does anybody need me to do another row or do we feel good with the
base i don't know how many new people we have or hi carmen it looks like carmen's just
joining us hey hi carmen does anybody need me to do another
base row i certainly am welcome to but i want to make sure i get to the lace
well i can bring it back up if we need so i bring over
woo get that out of the way wow look at that that was so quick you were on it
wayne says okay to move on great all right now you can certainly
um for the lace part use your jewel loom needle you can certainly
do that my preference personally is to switch to a a beading needle
so it's just slightly shorter and they're they're
made for beating um yeah so up to you you could do either this is
just my my preference so so i finished off this one over here on
the right and i'm just gonna do my lace up this side so i'm gonna go back
underneath all the warps so don't pull my thread out and just
start so um
so what you have to do though is i have to get myself up to this bead
so right now i'm still at the bottom and i'm gonna work my way back up to
this row to start my loops that way
i start with the smaller loop and go bigger and then that helps me get back
to the place i want to go for the next round
so now since since we're done weaving the beads except for that bottom one it
doesn't matter if you're on top or bottom
so for this first one now if i can remember i have to look what should i do the
first little loop so it's going to be the first one is going to be teeny tiny i
don't know there we go it's just the first one is just
three beads the second one is seven
and then the last one is eleven so we're doing three
seven and eleven that's what i found helped it to lay nicely okay
so we're gonna go so you'll see how we weave back and forth to make this happen
so i'm gonna pick up now we're moving on to the edo's so this part uh not edo sorry levanos so
i'm gonna pick up one of our aurora borealis i think somebody called them
graves or labradorite pick up one of my like
light blue and then another one of our grays
i like the other names better so
so i'm coming out of the third row
so the first row with our accent bead and i'm go i picked up my three
beads for our first loop and i'm going to go in the next
row with our accent
and i'm go i one of you can go all the way through because they're eight o's so and it's
only three beads so it's not a big deal to go back and forth at this point so then we
have our first our first loop there
i can get it very cute okay now
yeah so now i'm over here coming out of our second accent row
i'm going to go into the next first solid row
and come back out
and now we're going to pick up seven still only one blue accent so
one i think i put too many in my tray
wayne says it looks like you used an 8-0 on the other anklet no 8 is the base and 11's
those are 11's yeah they pop though they do look bigger
so i picked up three of our gray and i'm gonna pick up
one blue so that gives us our seven and then three more gray
um debbie she's using eights for the base and elevens for the loops correct
so now i'm gonna go over top of my first loop and back down to the bottom
so we picked up seven so three and three gray and a blue and
seven i found with the 11 0's goes over nicely over top of itself
so we've got our first two loops there and now we're set right in the right
place for our next one go to the bottom one again
weave back out to the same side and now we're gonna pick up eleven
so five gray one side a blue and then five gray the
other side and doing this without my magnifiers
takes a little more effort so vicky here i'll put this question up for you
she is asking being and don't have the magic of the internet can you do the loops at the end of each section
i'm not sure what like as at the end of each one of your edo sections is that what you mean vicky
as you're putting your edo's on you could just pop your lemons in you could do that but what you'll see
will happen is that um with the pattern i had chosen
i got caught on my bracelet here there we go um
it doesn't it fits the pattern nicely but then you'll have to remember in
order to keep doing that this middle one like every other one is this is just a
five so we have the three loops and then we have a single loop the three loops
single loop so you i mean you could certainly do that i like doing it separate it reinforces the bracelet and
then i don't have to think about as much either but you could certainly
do that all right so let's see got my blue i got
five more gray to go
woohoo three that time
all right so now you're gonna go in the second
solid white of the next grouping
so it kind of comes that the pattern is this grouping
and then this grouping then back to the bigger grouping and a little grouping you'll see as we work
along and then the 11 sits nicely over top
of the other ones
and you see my threads now coming out up here so i'm going to go back down through the
the next grouping with our accent bead and i'm just gonna
do i'm gonna pick up the five
so pick up five i pick up two gray a blue
and then two more of the gray
and then just go into the next one
so now very pretty so now we need to weave back up to get
back to the middle up here so going through
the two solid
and back through the first this first uh grouping with your accent bead
so as you can see we're coming out here
and now we're going to pick up our three again so starting our pattern over
she said well vicky says well i'm trying to do this along with you and not quite as fast as you are
i want to do a lace section with you oh so she could probably yeah
just work it by the sections definitely now you get a feel for it yeah so now
we're gonna pick up our seven
picking up three our blue is not two blues one blue four
and three more grey
and we go around our three and down through the solid row
then we've got the two and we need to do one more with the 11s
you're watching me on the big screen tv oh boy
that's what i do to trish when i'm not on with her
oh good to know good well then i pull you up on my devices to leave messages so yes
well she says she likes to re-watch them on youtube after you've
had them live so she can stop in between nice that's awesome that's the best way i
mean of course being live is the best way but of course learn afterwards that's the best way yes
so i pick up five grays and a blue my pretty bead board right now this
board is only available if you get the creative sole kit
and workshop believe it will be available with
something in the future do you remember or yes can a good person if she remembers
i don't um joan might know i don't know if she recalls but um
she's usually better at that stuff than we are but i'm not sure off the top of my head
that's fine something else i wanted to mention tonight and i can't even remember what
it is all right so i picked up 11. so two groupings of five gray and a blue
and i'm going from this white all the way down here over to this white all the way over here
going around my other two loops and getting caught on myself again
the dingle dangles on my bracelet got caught okay so um of course joan comes through
for us again yeah you will also be able to get it with the small whistle here so
yeah that'll be awesome thank you june so the big thing with the lace if you
can see is just making so i found starting with the little one
it it uh you come it's all about directions so it brings you this way and then i go back with the
second loop this way but with the third loop it helps me go up my bracelet so
that was kind of why i'm doing it this way that makes sense um so i had to
think hard about how to make that happen i hear you
and now we're just doing the extra little mini loop of five
and that's the pattern i can i'll keep going or let's see how are we on
oh correction you can get it with the small wisdom warrior now oh well there you go guys
get your little bead board if you don't have the small wisdom warrior that's a great deal yeah it does
let's see um time-wise we look like you have plenty of time if you'd like to continue okay um
go ahead i was just gonna say um usually to do a tie off a cut off the board i
usually wait till about 7 45 but of course that's up to you yeah whatever works best for you that sounds good
i forgot to make the next one but this is fine well we can tie this one off
who knows in 15 minutes a miracle might happen you could get there you go do we have any questions about either
the base i can go back and look at that or about the lace zach says dingle dangle's messing with
you amber i know see they're right here from my my buttonhole bracelet yes
that's such a pretty one going for those vibes too yeah going for
the whole beachy beachy vibe right
picking up our three here for our first loop
now i won't be here next week but trish will be teaching you guys you want to tell them what they have in
store for next week we're going to do a project with soft flex on the original
loom we're going to do some earrings with some pyramid beads i will pop on
hopefully tomorrow to give you the materials list but it's going to be quite fun something
new something exciting for us to try so hey i can't wait i'm excited
i think it'll be fun for everyone to give them another another uh use for their soft flex
now i'm picking up the five so i gotta remember two gray not three gray a blue
and then two more gray awesome zack says very beautiful creations
bracelet darling amber oh thank you she is a darling
can't visit the beach this summer so i had to bring the beach to me and there you go that's the way to do it oh not five
sorry folks this one's a seven i'm not brain that's all right beautiful
there we go we got sharp sharp people in our group here though they have figured
out yeah so i just pulled it back out so i can add in
i need to add in a couple beads here bonnie says it's awesome that you give
the material list early yeah that's something we just started and it seems like everyone likes it so
we're gonna try to continue that yeah seems like
it helps out so hey let's we can certainly do it yeah
it was fun to see some of you had gotten your materials beforehand that's so fun
[Music] love that you're beating along with us there we go
originally i tried five but it didn't lay right so that's probably why it's in my head so three seven and now on to
go gotta just weave back to the right side and do my eleven
so this is the odd count out odd count anklet
robin says i can't wait to get my sun weaver board that i cool
nice we'll have to do a project on that someday for sure
i think i'll have to get an updated one i don't know you have the older one don't you yeah i do
i mean which is fine it still works for sure but to see you know always kind of get the
news yes maria says she's beating along and nicole
says this is very pretty oh thank you
blue sky 75 says thank you so much amber it's so pretty and fun oh
thank you blue sky welcome welcome do we what's your name
do we know you we probably do no one else and we just forgot um
let's see here um carolyn says also pretty project amber
with a smiley face thanks we have the best folks that hang out i
know so yeah so there we go we got the the three the five and the eleven and now
we don't have to weave a lot for this little extra fiber uh fiber here
how are we doing on time um it's about 22. you could certainly stop if you'd like
if everyone feels comfortable how are you guys feeling
yes you know me as joanne blue sky says oh hi joanne becky says very pretty
are you guys feeling are you ready to take it off the loom are you feeling like you kind of got the concept or do
you want us to do a few more whenever to do a few more because i'm being lazy tonight that's okay
i tell you what i worked so hard yesterday i am more out i'm sure tons of videos and
all kinds of stuff so as you can see uh to make the the loops here work
i just add in this little extra loop in between them to bring this is yes ready to
move on where's the link for today's special
joan can you put up uh the uh what was it the gem cut special again
yeah the gem cuts yeah for deborah there that'd be great okay well virtually you just keep doing the
lace until you get to the end yeah so that's i'm gonna tie a little
knot here and i can just finish it up fix it later off the loom it won't be as easy but
it's certainly doable so yeah i've
just tie so don't lose any beads
yes that's a good idea if you do ever have to stop and for some reason guys
just make sure you know where your needle is and you know you don't want your thread to
get pulled because of you know it can pull off the beads things like that
that handy dandy little cork piece yes right of course i'll probably get myself
tangled here but ah all right the original loom you have to turn all the way over this one's really
pretty if you want to turn it over but you don't need to it's just on the ends you need to cut off
maria says this is my first time using eight o's and something other than thread slash wildfire oh fun this is
exciting nice good so
do turn it over a little always hold your beadwork whether you're on this loom or any of the other looms when you
go to cut it off just so it doesn't go flying on you get your cutters in there i like to try if i can
cut all the way back here it doesn't always work but sometimes i can save some of the threads that way
sometimes not but it's always an attempt
and it's harder to cut there but on the small wisdom warrior you just don't have as much extra
as you do with the original
there we go so it takes a little longer to try and get cut it off that way but
i like and then the other side you should be able to just unravel
there we go let's get that out of our way
so you want to pick the longer side obviously to be where you're going to
put um where you're going to tie off to slide your button through
um and then this side will be just your button as you can see i don't have as much
on this side so i just put my button on the shorter side that way i have enough room to make
extra loops if i need and then i'm just getting rid of all
this extra stuff out of my way cut this
and then you're going to take your ends
and just tie them off am i still there
everything got quiet oh you muted yourself for just
so two knots make sure you don't pull too tight that you warp your warps
um so i just like to do two knots i find with hemp i don't always have to
use glue but if you want to you can but i feel like it stays
a lot of the time pretty well when you nod it
but
maria said that it's building faster than the 11 0's i'm used to using
yes it's a real quick the base is a real quick build yeah which is nice that's where the
edo's come in nicely and it gives you a lot of space particularly to go back and forth and do
the lace um with the edo's it's harder when you do the lebanos there's just not as much
space so i have that tied off i threw in my
wildfire in with the knots where you can burn it off glue it
up to you and then i'm just gonna put my button on so i take two
of my threads through one hole and two of my threads through the other
hole and just tie
an overhand knot nothing too fancy
so two overhand nuts
there we go got your button and you can trim these if you want
um sometimes i might trim them to match but otherwise i like to keep them a little longer
but that's preference see as you can see i kept
this one a little longer it also allows me if i need to move the button out a little
while i'm trying to get it situated it makes that possible so i have to cut
the ends of my loops here what were you gonna say trish um um lizzy had a good suggestion she thinks the knobby should
be a screw type something screws type she said something to think
about huh so yeah the knobs on the end of the looms
could be like a screw type yeah you can mention that to
yes absolutely yeah i don't know if i'll remember to tell you tell her that
well she usually watches these so yes she'll probably see it or hear it um
let's see so i trimmed and now i'm just gonna not up against the warp again
go ahead trish if there's another question um not questions but wayne says he agrees with lizzie and vicky said i
gave up trying to keep up she said kitty time is important too especially when she's demanding verbally yes and sherry
says beautiful design thank you thank you everyone and that's so sweet
we do appreciate it i'm not that i had anything to do with this design but i'm just saying in
general we appreciate it when you say those things
when it's my time i appreciate it too yes it means a lot yes
that's what i'm trying to say my interpreter cleared that up for me
though so once again i just knotted off the warps make sure it's not too tight
uh and uh and now i'm going to
lay it out and what i do is i bring my button up and i kind of
gauge how far i need to make my knot from my work in order for my
button to fit in nicole has a question for you that i put up on screen
would a slide clasp work oh yeah most certainly i don't know
how that would hold up on an on an anklet but yeah you could definitely i've never tried a slide class on an
anklet but you could certainly do it i mean it's eight o's so you could it's harder to slide the clasp over the
hem sometimes but if you do the thinner hemp and yeah you should be able to i to
slide it over and we have some wonderful love coming through your tutorials um
mean a lot to us julian this is a lovely design maria says and
vicky says i look forward to my time with you ladies it makes my day we feel the same
[Music] and then there we go

that's super a super great way to do do it you know it's a little different yeah then a lot
of people do it but that's that's what we enjoy and i think i think it's a great thing because we
can kind of address things in real time yeah and we're here for you guys so

so vicky um you said that you saw daniel wickish use soft flex did she use it on
the um silver silk loom or was it the original oh she said a peyote stitch a piano stitch but yeah
let's i don't think you can do that on the other one for myself
i can't wait to see your creations friends absolutely absolutely so yeah super fun
i'm just waiting to hear back from vicki i'm just curious yeah no i want to know what danielle did too
yeah i love her creations too yeah i actually have the project sitting in front of me right now god's vegeta
now [Laughter] you don't know
yeah it's a little teaser what if i just
go i can't wait i am so excited because i'm so glad one of you suggested it and
the button yeah and we'll do a pendant i know someone asked about a necklace so we'll
have to bust out doing a necklace here sometime soon for sure yeah
the only problem with doing like a necklace on lives is
that we can't try to make them in real time even like bracelets are touch and go sometimes with that or ankles yeah
earrings we can kind of do real time most of the time yeah that's the real in-depth but
we'll make it work we always make it happen oh she said the flexibility of the soft
flex was inspirational but it wasn't on it okay well we're gonna do it
i'm so excited i'm excited too all right guys well thank you to amber and to joan as always
for doing a wonderful project and joan for helping us out in the chat and being so
wonderful and thank you all for joining us we love you we appreciate you and
