*SEE MY UPDATE ON ERIN KRAKOW'S INTERVIEW BELOW...


Erin Krakow will be making her last appearance on Hallmark Channel's morning lifestyle show, Home & Family, on Wednesday morning at 10am/9c.! Why is this the last? Sadly, this is the final season for Home & Family hosted by Debbie Matenopoulos and Cameron Mathison. Episodes will end airing in August.

As for Erin's current interview... will she be announcing another season for When Calls the Heart? Ratings have been spectacular for this 8th season - often surpassing every other program on cable TV - so that has to be good news. Right? I know many Hearties (including myself!) will be eagerly awaiting any details regarding a possible Season 9 and any hints on the Season 8 finale, too!

For those of you who watch When Calls the Heart - have you chosen who Elizabeth should choose? I've been Team Nathan since the day he walked on set, but I would love to hear your thoughts, too!

Stay tuned - and I'll be sure to reveal whatever news Erin Krakow delivers on Wednesday morning - right here in this post! Simply refresh this page on Wednesday after Home & Family airs for the latest news!

UPDATE 5/5/2021: Erin Krakow's interview on Home & Family was a delightful plug for the Season 8 finale episode. She discussed what went into the decision on the man Elizabeth will ultimately choose. And, yes, there will be a special kiss! A scene from the finale episode was also shown with Elizabeth and Rosemary and it looks like they have finally patched things up and are friends again, which makes me soooo happy! In this scene, Elizabeth and Rosemary discuss both men, Lucas and Nathan, and the possibility of Elizabeth loosing her reason for coming to Hope Valley in the first place - teaching. Unfortunately, Erin does not mention a renewal for Season 9 during thee interview; however, when Debbie and Cameron ask Erin about potential characters who may be leaving, she does say something about leaving the viewers with a cliffhanger. So... we still have to wait and see, but I think we can all remain very hopeful for more stories from Hope Valley!

Blessings to you all! Net

"A Love Yarn" - starring Anna Hutchison and Simon Arblaster on BYUtv! DETAILS HERE:

MOVIE REVIEW

Movie: A Love Yarn

Network: BYUtv

Original Air Date: April 23, 2021

PLEASE NOTE: The premiere date for this movie has passed; however, if I see an encore airing - I will be certain to share.

WATCH HERE: If you would like to see this movie today, you can watch it via VOD online - here.

REVIEW: "A Love Yarn" is family friendly and delightful - see my full movie review below...

Starring: Anna Hutchison and Simon Arblaster

Storyline: The owner of a quaint New Zealand yarn shop, Sophie Dale, gets her world flipped upside down after learning her top supplier of yarn, King Farms, is stopping production. Much to her surprise, the charming yet stuck-in-his-ways Samuel King has traveled all the way from New York to audit the business model of the farm. Desperate to keep her shop going, Sophie convinces Samuel to give her two weeks to learn the ropes of yarn spinning and raise enough money to buy the mill herself. With Samuel’s help, Sophie comes up with a fundraising plan to host a “knit-off” and auction at the local makers market. However, when the two weeks come to an end Sophie finds herself at the crossroads of business and romance. Could she have misinterpreted Samuels growing romantic interest in her as just business all along?


Movie Review: "The setting of this story is in New Zealand - and the countryside there is absolutely beautiful. Breathtaking! The owner of the local yarn shop, Sophie, is quite likeable; she's an American who inherited the shop from her late Grandmother. Sophie brings many people of the town together to knit and enjoy time sharing, along with her best friend, Rose, who is a lot of fun. Everything seems tranquil for Sophie, until she knits a sweater for her boyfriend, Chris. Everyone in the knitting group teases that "it's the curse of the knitted sweater" and they predict in a joking way that she and Chris will surely break up. They actually do, but Sophie has more important things to worry about - she must save the local mill where she gets her yarn and convince the owner's handsome son, Samuel King, who is visiting from New York, to sell it to her before he leaves. The lambs in the movie are all sooo adorable - you'll instantly fall in love with them. At times, the movie can be a bit predictable and cheesy, but it's still a sweet family friendly story, and I personally enjoyed watching it. Even the knitted sweater gets redemption in the end. If you know someone who likes knitting, then this is most definitely THE MOVIE for them." ~Net

Hope you all have a peaceful weekend. As I write the end of this post, I just received news that a friend of my family, lost her father-n-law to the corona virus on Friday morning. Our hearts are breaking for their entire family over this immense loss. Her mother-n-law also has the virus, but was recently able to come home from the hospital. Please pray for her healing and for the children and grandchildren during this difficult time. Receiving news like this truly puts life into perspective.

I also just learned that my cousins' wife has the virus, and a neighbor, who is an older man, a dear friend of my family for many years, is currently in the hospital with the virus. Please also pray for them - and that it won't spread to other family members.

How are you all doing? Are things getting better in your area? Or, are things much the same as they were last year? Please take care, everyone.

Love and Hugs to you all...

Be well, Net

produces perseverance.”
