A Texan, here, and we have lovely Cardinals…but where I am from we lovingly call them “Red Birds”. They’re quite large birds, and I always love seeing them! We also have an occasional Blue Jay. One of my favorites is the Road Runner, which I hardly ever see anymore, but get so excited when I do! Also, a little tip…if you soak your dried-on paint brushes in rubbing alcohol for a few days, they will become as good as new. It dissolves the paint. Well, as long as the dried-on paint is acrylic. I’ve saved quite a few brushes that way. LOVE this episode! ❤️
One of my favourite things to make with beads are potion bottles for a witch or wizard's cupboard. If you make 24th scale houses, they can look really good on a shelf, specially the see through ones. On larger scales, you have to be a bit more selective, though. You could probably make some Christmas tree strings with the seed beads.
I have been estranged from my mother for nearly 4 years. I spent a lot of my adulthood crafting with her and they were my favourite memories. Watching this gives me comfort
Yes! We have Cardinals in America, at least in the Northeast where I live. The tuft on top of their head is called a crest. Other crested birds in the US include Blue Jays and Cedar Waxwings. I'm sure there are more. It is said that if a Cardinal pays you a visit, it is the spirit of a passed loved one come to call.
I was a caregiver for a sweet lady who had advanced dementia. She had a large picture window in her living room, and a cardinal appeared there nearly every single day, no matter the season. I was there for over a year, and he never failed to show up in all that time. I often wondered about the traditional belief and whether it was her mother or her only son, who was killed in a car accident at the age of 18.
Kate, you are so very artistic! Love your bitty doll, cardinal, the globe and your turtle! The perfume bottles are just perfect, Fleur! Can't wait for more creative bead ideas!
I truly needed this sweet, kind video right now😗💯 Thank you for all that you do to make these videos. You are a breath of fresh air. I am here to breath it all in.😘
I always hit “thumbs up” before even starting your videos because every single one is always so relaxing, charming and joyful! Your video is truly the sweet, shining light for me in what feels like the darkness for so many (myself included) here in the US. Bless you! 💙 Kathleen
I love the little piece made with the dark green round bead. As you were assembling it, I immediately thought, "A lamp! How awesome!" Lol I think it would look lovely with a tiny lamp shade.
Hearing you two talking and laughing makes me miss my mom. I live a few hours away and don’t see her nearly enough. We never get to make stuff together anymore. I’m going to call her tomorrow and we’re going to schedule a crafting date!
The ideas are endless, if you have the beads to trigger a thought of what they look like. The teeny things you made were very cute indeed. I adored the little doll you made. Sunny, your a very social kind of cat. Always happy to come see what you ladies are up to. Mew to you boy. 😊
A care free world of miniatures in your workshop. The cardinal and matchstick doll are my favorites. Always a pleasure to see what Sunny is doing in between naps.
I would love to see a Little House on the Prairie scene!! My father-in-law actually lived in Walnut Grove,MN and played for their football team!! The little doll first looked like a Russian nesting doll before you put limbs on her!!❤❤❤
My house is in Spring Valley, MN where we have a museum dedicated to them. The Laura Ingalls Wilder Site museum with lots of artifacts from the time. "Laura Ingalls Wilder Site, on National Historic register, built in 1876. Two floors of exhibits including a Country Store and exhibit on Richard Sears of Sears & Roebuck fame. Washburn-Zittleman House Museum built in 1866. Features beautiful Victorian furnishings." My house was built prior to both of these places! It was built in 1855. Quite possibly the oldest structure still standing in town.
@Robotj992 I am from Austin Minnesota. Not far from you! My in-laws lived in Spring Valley up until my father-in-law's passing. He is buried in the lovely VA cemetery in Preston. Small world!
I’ve just discovered your videos and I want to say that I was already interested as a crafter but I knew I wanted to see all the rest when you two went back and forth with the turtle idea and then giggled at how silly the word can be! Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge, but also your calm, your joy and your gentle friendliness with each other ❤️🩹🐢
Such lovely creations! What I wouldn't do to be able to sit there with you lovely ladies, chatting and creating. 🥰 A wonderful selection of little trinkets, exactly what I love crafting most. Just making what ever comes to mind. Looking at materials and old, thrifted, or found objects and let inspiration strike and lead in the moment. What bliss! I miss that soso much. I do hope my body will let me experience another craft session like this before I pass. I used to craft with my mother like this almost every weekend as a child, we would put on nature sound cds and sit at the dining table for a few hours together. It's incredible that those are the memories that come to mind first when I think of that time when really we were in a horrible situation with my very violent, alcoholic and drug addicted father who was doing everything he could to make my mother's life as miserable as possible. And yet she managed to keep so much of it away from me and make sweet memories like our craft dates for me to look back on instead. I am so thankful and in awe!❤
LADIES!!YOU CONTINUE TO BLOW ME AWAY WITH YOUR ARTISTIC SKILLS. I HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME WATCHING YOU CREATE ALL THESE PIECES. ANOTHER EXCELLENT VIDEO!! LOVE AND HUGS FROM MASSACHUSETTS IN THE U.S.
I am 53 years old and I am in the USA and I just enjoy your talent and your sense of humor. Your cat is beautiful , thank you for just being here on TH-cam , you're good company ✝️ God bless you and your family 🇺🇸👍🏻😊
I loved all your bead crafts, my favorite is the little doll. I live in West Virginia in the US and the Cardinal is our State Bird. I've always heard when there is a Cardinal around that it is a love one checking on you. Every time I see one I talk to it because I feel like it is my husband checking on me ❤
🎉a handy tip for you I cut cocktail sticks and thread the beads I want I sand any excess at the bottom I use to hold whilst I'm gluing the beads onto each other. It gives more strength to the peices 😊
You can drip wax or glue in the flower pot to hold them in place and to give the pot weight. I love your crafts you are getting better and better at miniature making all the time! They are all so lovely!
Love your kitty!😺Funny how our cats like to be right there when we are doing a project. Cardinals are common in winter in America. They look so beautiful against the white snow. I live in Pennsylvania. Most of the birds fly south for winter but the Blue Jays and the Cardinals stay in PA. Love your tiny creations!!
Oh ladies I enjoyed watching both make your tiny miniatures out of beads. I don't have a favorite I like them all. You could make a miniature nut cracker or toy soldier for Christmas. The red bird is a cardinal and I do see them here in Georgia. Love to see sunny cat approving your work and video. I like your vintage cabinet that sunny is laying on. Enjoy your weekend and looking forward to the upcoming coming videos. Cheers Xxx Mary
That doll! I am head over heels for her. That cardinal! That globe! The tortoise! The brushes & bottles! Daisies! Absolutely love learning from you 2. What kind of glue were you using for these! You are true artists. I aspire to be like you. Also, I have a 30-year-old California desert tortoise who came with the name Stallone. Which part of England are you in?
Hi Fleur and Kate, another beautiful video! I love the green perfume bottle, so convincing. Maybe some time on this channel you could do a short film about what tools and materials you like best to use, milliput, which glues are good etc., I'm sure other crafters would really appreciate that. Mx
🎉I have thousands of beautiful beads glass ,precious stones, crystal to plastic. I have designed and sold alot I rarely make more than design exactly the same. I also use to make mini things inc candles, perfume and bubble baths etc it's such fun ☺

My grandmother had two pet cardinals, and she named them Jake and Jenny. They would land outside her windowsill and talk to her every morning.
I have made a lamp out of beads.
I think the lantern would make a great chicken feeder, so bring on those tiny little chickens
I loved them all
Забавно смотреть ,не отойдёжь от экрана
❤❤🎉🎉❤❤🎉🎉!Изумительно!,,КАК было сВами УЮТНО!,!,❤❤🎉🎉❤❤

Absolutely beautiful tiny things. As you know I always love Sunny supervising. Thank you.
🙋♀️❤️. It's worry free world when you two are crafting! ⚘️⚘️
It's incredible that these are all handmade! They are absolutely wonderful. Such creativity!
I live in the US and cardinals are believed to be loved ones who passed and have come back as to check on you.
I've never heard that one.
I was a caregiver for a sweet lady who had advanced dementia. She had a large picture window in her living room, and a cardinal appeared there nearly every single day, no matter the season. I was there for over a year, and he never failed to show up in all that time.

We say that about robins here Tina, “ when robins appear loved ones are near” x 🇬🇧
@@tinacluff2793 there’s a cardinal that shows up and teases my cat through the window.
I hear the 🕊️& the 🦋 not the cardinal 🗽🇺🇲🦅🕊️🫶🐦🏵️🍂
🌱🐛🕊️🪻🤗
Beaded curtains ? Beaded rugs ? Tiny bead bracelets & necklaces for the dolls ?
That looks EXACTLY like a red cardinal. In such teeny tiny form I find that accuracy astounding
Kate, you are so very artistic! Love your bitty doll, cardinal, the globe and your turtle! The perfume bottles are just perfect, Fleur! Can't wait for more creative bead ideas!
Oh, I love the little bead doll! She is exquisite!
I love her, too. ❤😊
You should try making tiny humming bird feeders with some to hang outside your doll houses !
What wonderful little creations! My favorite is your little dolly😊.
You ladies have so much patience to work with such tiny items. I don’t know how you get all your ideas. So imaginative.
Thanks
I truly needed this sweet, kind video right now😗💯 Thank you for all that you do to make these videos. You are a breath of fresh air. I am here to breath it all in.😘
Sweet little miniatures
Anne of Green Gables is Canadian!! I love how happy it makes Sunny just to hang out with you. He's always purring.
Your projects always give me inspiration, fantastic job ladies!
I always hit “thumbs up” before even starting your videos because every single one is always so relaxing, charming and joyful!
Your video is truly the sweet, shining light for me in what feels like the darkness for so many (myself included) here in the US.
Bless you! 💙 Kathleen
Same here. We Americans certainly need a distraction.
Same here!
I love it when Fleur laughs 😊
I love the little piece made with the dark green round bead. As you were assembling it, I immediately thought, "A lamp! How awesome!" Lol I think it would look lovely with a tiny lamp shade.
Sunny cat has a creative soul too!👍💕
Hearing you two talking and laughing makes me miss my mom. I live a few hours away and don’t see her nearly enough. We never get to make stuff together anymore. I’m going to call her tomorrow and we’re going to schedule a crafting date!
I just love the kitty helping you lol!
Beautiful meticulous work ladies! Lovely
You nailed the cardinal - good job on these creations - it's more about your creativity.
The ideas are endless, if you have the beads to trigger a thought of what they look like. The teeny things you made were very cute indeed. I adored the little doll you made.
Sunny, your a very social kind of cat. Always happy to come see what you ladies are up to.

You two always amaze me! Thank you. I adore them!
Amazing job, everything turned out adorable. I can't wait to see everything in use. I love all the little miniatures you ladies made today 💕
It’s hard to choose a favorite, but I do just love that globe, the thread spool, the flowers, the bottles, the candle…so so fun!
Love your miniatures. Mushrooms, toadstools, ladybugs, beetles, potion bottles, candles came to mind.
You two are amazing!!! ♥️♥️♥️

Imagination is such a precious thing❤❤❤

🥰
There’s something so wholesome and relaxing about watching your videos, thank you for sharing ❤
Soooo tiny! Such cute little lovelies for future doll houses. Great use of your beads!!❤
The back of Sunnycat's head is so cute, it deserves it's own co-starring credit.
Minis make me so happy!😊 ❤🇺🇸
Yes cardinal's are here in the U.S. sadly I buried one today, it flew into the window 😢 cardinal's can represent a heavenly loved one is visiting 😊❤
Here in England the equivalent are Magpies
it is so nice to see you enjoying each others company while crafting. Finding something you both enjoy
What fantastic ideas! Thank you for sharing😊
Oh kitty, you need to be in on the action. Always.

Your creativeness knows no bounds. I love everything you made! Thanks for sharing with us ladies!
I enjoyed immensely your purring grey assistant!
Well done ladies ❤
You two are so talented and incredibly crafty. I can't pick a favorite here. I love them all.
🎉a handy tip for you I cut cocktail sticks and thread the beads I want I sand any excess at the bottom I use to hold whilst I'm gluing the beads onto each other. It gives more strength to the peices 😊
I love each piece! So adorable, I love the cardinal and the caterpillar. Very enjoyable video. As always.
Fantastic miniatures.
Quite inspiring! They are handmade, but aren't most little miniatures? So very creative!
These are so amazing. I just sat and oohed and ahhed the whole time I was watching you two.
I love that you get new ideas by talking about what you are doing!
They are Beautiful ❤
I love hearing your little snoopervisor purring.❤
You can drip wax or glue in the flower pot to hold them in place and to give the pot weight. I love your crafts you are getting better and better at miniature making all the time! They are all so lovely!
I THINK I’LL HAVE TO BINGE WATCH TO CATCH UP. WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD
Love them all.❤ thanks for showing us.
Very inspiring.

I loved the tortoise and everything else but the doll was amazing. The cotton reel was a clever idea but now you need more in different colours.
Great job Lady's

I really enjoy watching you both.

Wonderful! I love watching you both work…you are very inspiring. Thank you 💕🙏
