I must say, much more "instructive" than the "I wore a corset for a week-to my sit down office job-and didn't die" videos All respect and applause to your partner...
So. Now I no longer have any hesitation about putting my fictional action/adventure character in the sports corset during her day. She doesn't do HALF the stuff you do in your one video. Thanks for doing this! This is amazing!
Oh yea, definitely throw Miss Adventure Heroine in a sports corset all day long if you like, she should be able to handle it without a problem... as long as there's a nice chemise/drawers/etc layer under there for hygiene and easier laundering routines! But if you're considering the topic of sports corsets, you probably already knew that! 💙💚
The warm up sequence was so good! Really glad you showed a sports corset since fashion corsets get most of the attention. Really interesting that the biggest interference it seemed to cause seemed to impact your partner more than you. And yes please! I'm all in for any historical circus costume content. That's definitely not a subject I've seen any content on.
Yea, the fashion corsets are maybe more pretty, but the sports corset is far more comfortable!! It's true that there's a void of historical circus content out there! Gotta fill that gap, I guess!! 💪🎪
Thanks for the circus playlist! My 12 year old who is studying circus arts says you do the best triangle handstand they've ever seen. I don't even know what that means, and as someone with chronic fatigue, everything you did, including cycling to the theatre, was impressive to me!
I’m just straight up fangirling over here. I’m a theatre artist, and this is just way, way cool! I’d love to see you take on a historical circus costume! What a cool blending of your two expertise areas!
I didn't remember this hilarious shot of Canelle peacefully curled up like nothing's happening, oblivious to the 2 humans casually defying the laws of physics in the background
Thanks, Morgan, I'm glad you enjoyed it 💙❤️💚 It's always fun to be able to combine my two passions! I love your channel and the unique take you have on projects (plus I also do a fair amount of wood-working, see my Corgi Sized Fainting Couch, so I enjoy that aspect of your videos too) so it's fun to see you in my comments section!
all of the costumes I wore when I was doing classical ballet had a corset like bodice with boning because they were based off of costumes from the romantic period (1830s-40s, thereabouts), and really sucked you in, though they didn't go past the waist really, maybe only a little bit but not much. Anyways, if I was able to do all the dancing I did (and I had what was considered a larger bust for a ballet dancer and I was super strapped into that bodice) with no problems, I highly doubt it's the corset that's the problem when certain people say corsets are bad for you health, lol
No, I’d say it’s generally not that corsets are bad for your health or anything of the sort? (I never really believed that, and this video was not so much an attempt to bust that myth as it was a fun experiment to test the limits of the sports corset! Although Lina Piprek has a great video about corsets and on-stage actors (as a costume designer in the industry) and she raises some really good points!
It turns out that not only do I thoroughly enjoy watching you restore your home in Nova Scotia, I really like seeing you practice your acrobatics. The costume highlights are a bonus. My mum was a dressmaker and I have lots of experience with sewing. Although I only hand sew buttons, slightly torn hems/seams nowadaze.
Having been a gymnast in my youth, I have an extreme appreciation for what you do. You make it look easy and I know it's not. I kept cringing every time you went upside down on the wheel, thinking you were going to crush your fingers. The cirkus house is beautiful. What a privilege to work in a historic building. Thank you for sharing.
I'm so happy that epic warm-up sequence is getting another airing! It would be interesting to see if wearing something over the corset makes any difference to the issues you noted. I'd love to see a bit more about how those spheres of your life intersect. So yes, absolutely, historical circus costume (I think you showed a picture once of a lovely dapper lady? I forget her name), but actually also insight into the modern performance clothes you make for yourself (and Phil!). They must have some unique design requirements that could be interesting to see in practice - they'd need to be robust, sure, but also allow for full range of motion, presumably no awkward seams to chafe under a harness, will be cool enough that you don't overheat, etc, etc. (And always Cannelle! Those wiggling little 'tocks are a thing of joy!)
Oh my goodness, thank you for the Jill Bearup recommendation! I've just spent far longer than I care to admit down a joyful rabbit hole watching her old videos!
Yea, Jill is an absolute GEM (also, mildly shocked that anyone read that far down in the description... you'll occasionally see some strange gems in there)
Yes, all hail the WARM UP SEQUENCE 👑 lol thank you! And yes, I will probably be needing to make some more costumes for us soon enough, so that might make it into a video!
I adored every minute of this. Loved seeing more of your circus life. You and Phil are wildly talented, both off the stage and on. I am in awe of everything you’re able to do from acrobatics, to fiber arts, to carpentry, house renovation, and design. And as always, love little Canelle. What a treasure she is. As to what I would like to see more of, I want it all. Loving the house renovation, love your sewing, and really loved this one with a rare insight into your performing skills. Above all, I love Canelle. (Not sure I’m spelling her name right ).
OMG!!! I enjoyed this so much!🎉 Came for the home reno, stayed for the circus performers!!! Also your videography is amazing...loved the warmup sequence. I was directed here from a more recent video and so happy I was!! 😊🏆♥️
As others have said, seeing historical circus costumes would be awesome. The editing throughout is fantastic, but the section of you warming up was perfect. I have subscribed.
I gotta admit, as someone with occasional vertigo problems, I’m more in awe of you spinning in a million circles and surviving 😅 wonderful to see a sports corset put through its paces though, I love seeing people in active jobs putting historical gear to the test.
Wow, thank you!! The spinning just takes some getting used to (I mean, I don't have vertigo, so I don't mean to imply that all YOU'd have to do is practice... just that for ME, that was the case), but it was certainly a fun challenge to take on, wearing the corset and seeing how it'd affect the training!
Just beautiful! I very much like the whiteness and structure of the corset as part of an outfit. It is unusual in style, and I look at it differently of course, but I see it now with a type of bloomer-like garment, or atop a crazy structural garment in the same material, thinking theatre of Bauhaus costumes : ) Very unpractical I imagine, but I'm not an acrobat : ) I second the sentiment that I would also like to see historic circus costumes recreated, since I happen to have always liked that type of thing, and there's enough of the same historic recreations going on on youtube already... but you do you, and I'm mostly keeping my fingers crossed for your channel to go viral, since that is absolutely what you deserve with your original and creative content!
Aww, thank you, Nathalie... I love your visions for the sports corset! I have some (hopefully unique-ish) videos coming up on the channel, and hope to plan some historical circus into the mix. It just might be a while cuz I'm a hopelessly slow sewist 😭🤣🧵
I was happy to find this video. I've been interested in this exact corset for several years. Whenever someone says that women couldn't breathe in corsets, I tell them that there were a variety of corset styles, and that some were very comfortable - and that there were even sports corsets. Women had to work while wearing corsets, doing things like gardening, field work, scrubbing staircases, and doing laundry by hand. They couldn't possibly be wearing a torture chamber of a corset to live like that. Anyway, I appreciate seeing the Bicycle Corset in action. p.s. Your warm-up is more than my entire workout🥴
Is it a special dog backpack? The shorts algorithm served me a New York Corgi who’s owners apparently designed one specifically for carrying dogs, maybe you’ve seen it?
I feel like it's probably Max (I forget his actual handle), but I haven't seen it, no. This is by the company K9 Sport Sack, they are indeed meant specifically for dogs, and they've been around for at least 7 years. I have two backpacks from them, and love them!
@@ShannonMakes yes, I think Maxine or something like that? It was a new idea to me, since I’ve never biked with a dog and it isn’t required to bag them in Germany :D anyways, it looks absolutely fantastic and secure 😊
I had just started my circus journey back in 2015 when I saw a show in that building! Funny how I found this video while attempting to make a corset of my own, after a cyr training session (which I just started my cyr training) just barely starting to waltz.
Seeing some historic circus costume remakes would be boss. Another fun idea would be reviewing or going over historic circus costumes. Also, I’d love a history tour/lesson next time you’re somewhere cool!
Wow! The heck with the corset. That was so much fun watching you (and your partner) doing those amazing acrobatic feats. More of that, please! 🤩🤸♀🎪 Also always love seeing your cute Corgi. 🐕 (But I really was surprised that you were able to do acrobatic maneuvers like that in an old fashioned corset.) Great video! 🙂
Yay! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!! Definitely hope you hang around and check out some of the other videos on the channel too, we're always up to some shenanigans!
Just discovered your channel (the Rachel Maksy video) and I'm so glad youtube recommended it! Absolutely love the acrobat/historical/cosplay cross over, it's very unique. I'm absolutely in awe of your skills, I have vertigo so even watching you made me dizzy haha. What you do is actual wizardry! Looking forward to watching more. Definitely subscribed :D
Awesome! Thank you and welcome aboard!! Very glad that you checked out some of the other videos, and that you're enjoying them 💙💜💚 (and sorry for making you a bit dizzy 🥴💫) Thank you for watching!!
Thank you so much for bringing a corseted circus performance into my living room. You are amazing and an absolute joy to watch. Extra cudos for cute corgi clips.
You are so welcome! I'm glad you like the circus, the costume, and the corgi, and I hope you'll stick around and check out some of the other videos on the channel for a (hopefully equal) dose of entertainment! 🥰🎪
The purple is protected.... why would anyone ever want to change that? It's amazing. (Purple is my jam though). As a person who casually dabbles in historical dress *and* lyra hoop this video has 100% been relevant to my interests in a way I didn't think would ever organically show up.
HAHA, oh, see I like purple too, but not necessarily that shade, and also not the colors of all the neon chairs that are spread out in the building 🤣🤣 I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the intersection of your two interests. There's a bit of circus in my Recycling Rosie Onesie (I made it as a warm-up suit for backstage), and a bit of historical dress (more strictly historical in the next month or two), but mainly its more history-bounding with a side of corgi and circus and a healthy dose of recycling, so please feel free to stick around and poke through the video vault, see if anything else tickles your fancy!!
Oh wow, in 2012 I believe I went to see my first Cirque du Soleil Totem show and was working as an usher. I was so amazed by the performance it was almost hard to work. I will say if I knew you were part of the show I would like to come out and support you. Thanks for the entertainment not only on stage but also on TH-cam. Love your guys wheel routine, looks like a beautiful dance.
the editing in this video is fantastic! I particularly loved the warmup sequence. I'm mostly here for the sewing, but the circus arts and the corgi are fantastic additions :)
Shannon, that was an amazing video. I always love seeing Canal and Phil but getting to see a glimpse of your performance was amazing. I started watching you after buying the house and wondered what the contracts were that you spoke of. Very entertaining 👏👏👏👏
Oh my gosh, can I just tell you how happy I was to find this video and your channel in general??? I'm also a circus artist with a fashion/historical costuming side-hobby, and that cross-section is so frickin' random, I had to subscribe to you immediately! Love seeing more circus, costuming, or both content. So yeah, um...thank you! Keep being awesome! :)
LOVE seeing you and Phil doing your craft Shannon! I found your channel when you bought your house in Nova Scotia so it’s the first time I see you in the ACT 😊 LOVE IT 🤩 More please in your current videos. Your warmup exercises / workout is also extra special to witness!
Loved this video the first time and it's still great this time, hope more people see it! All the content Shannon makes is so thoughtful, well made, and entertaining!
Thank you!!! Also I legit think that's the first time someone's made this type of word play with my channel name, and I AM HERE FOR IT!! Thanks for the kind words, and for watching (again)!
Oh interesting! That was not what I meant by costume, I was thinking more circus costumes, things that would have been considered a costume even in their own time period, but yours is an interesting idea as well!
sooooo everything but the corgi 🤣😭 (it's cool, she's always at the building, often wearing costumes, and frequently behind the scenes on all contracts)
😹😹well WOW, I have a chronic fear of heights due to an accident 40 years ago, never got over it, I can watch someone else doing the stunts and know how hard they are and how much training goes into them, the fact you made the corset and used it in your warmup session to prove using a corset is not as bad as soo many actress have made out, but thinking back I think the issue for them was the lack of correct under garments to go with them and most likely not fitted to them correctly. Would loved to have seen the full act that you were in, but living in the Aussie Outback does have its own limits😹😹😹😹
wow!! Everything I love in one video. Beautiful distant locations, handsome dog, people displaying exceptionalism, and a simple curiosity satisfied (I will not be making a corset to work out in, however it's good to know they aren't torture devices lol).
This was genuinely epic. I considered doing the ring and even went to a beginner class but I hate people touching me so that was out 😂 Thank you so much for sharing.
Oooh, yea, it'd be tricky to teach a safe class without ever touching the students, I could see how that would be maybe not the best mix. Sorry your experience wasn't a full win, but I'm glad you enjoyed the video!! Thanks for watching
This is the video that brought me to your channel, and it's still my favorite! I’m impressed with the research you did, and would love to see those skills applied to historical circus costumes.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching (again)... I'd love to do some pure research on the topic, but I admit, I'm not 100% sure where to start, but my wheels are spinning!
That was so cool to see! You are a woman of many talents! What a surprise to discover this from a sewing video discovery of you. Wishing you all the best!
Thank you! The corgi is definitely the best part... I've got a few videos that are centered around her (Corgi Fainting Couch, and Doggy Deadpool Paw-loween costume)!! 🐶🐾
Hello hello 👋 I just found you trough your historic knitting videos. I am an art historian, lover of sewing, knitting, crazy cats and doggys and do aerial hoop for some years - now I am off to absolutely subscribing you! ❤❤❤
Hello and welcome aboard! An art historian... that's so cool! I've been looking at lots of historical circus art and posters lately 🎪🎨 Sounds like there are lots of things on the channel that will interest you - I've got corgi costumes and doggy-sized fainting couches, many sewing projects... a bit of circus pops up in my Recycling Rosie Onesie... all kinds of fun thing!!
😯💜 What is so amazing about watching athletes like yourself, is how effortlessly graceful you make all this look. To the point where I, watch this while lying my ancient arthritic body on my bed, chihuahua on one side, cat on the other... Resting a bag of MnMs on my belly, think... yeah... I could do that. 😂🎉👵🏼
I’ve been watching your videos about fixing up your home. Every time you’d say you are circus performers I wished I could see. I’m so happy this video showed up. You two are very talented AND brave!!!
Ooh, circus costumes! Loved this, I was looking about for sports corset info and yours looks really good. Since plenty if those tricks probably either didn’t exist or women didn’t do them in the 1890’s this is a testament to what a good design this was for regular sports like riding or tennis.
Yes, the design would be more than sufficient for the sports of preference back then, I feel pretty confident in saying that! If you’re looking for info, I have a whole playlist on the topic, including two in-depth info dumps, one video on designing the pattern, one on making the real deal, and then this one obviously
I have no t seen this before this evening… I am sitting with my puppies and a cold drink and this video has just become my favourite TH-cam video of all time! ❤❤❤ Hubby is impressed too. 🎉 Please, please do some more videos like this if you have a chance. A ‘Ko-fi ‘ is on its way because I feel like I have just seen a quick performance. Brilliant brilliant brilliant. 😊
Honestly this looks like such a dream job. I wish I could do even half these things. I'm coming off over a year of pretty debilitating disability that's been keeping me out of movement, but I've got new meds that are already helping me get moving more and I'm so excited.
This was such a fun video! I looove seeing the behind the scenes circus stuff, always a reminder about how hard you guys work! Putting that sports corset through its paces haha!
I loved this so much! How fun! I’ve recently started watching your new (old) house videos & I would LOVE to see some circus videos sprinkled in there. Thank you!6
If you're into the circus, you should check out this past December's vlogmas videos, as there's some circus in each episode (we were on tour with a show for all of November/December) and there's also one very circus-specific one immediately before the start of the Vlogmas series
LOL I feel like there are about a zillion videos out there of people do rather mundane activities in their corsets. The whole point was for me to do something a bit more extraordinary (in the original sense of the word)... I literally ride a bike every single day, so that wasn't something that felt particularly interesting to "test out" ya know what I mean!?
What do YOU want to see more of? The circus, the costumes, or the corgi?! 🎪🧵🐶
Yes. All of the above! 🎪🐾🪡🧵🧷
I’m glad you’re trying a rerelease. I still don’t understand why this didn’t do well. But let’s face it I’m bias
Oh I forgot all of the above.
What about a short called “cool things I can do in a 1890’s corset.
IMO, all your included content is most interesting!! You have a viewer for life, by any estimation 🎉
@@robintheparttimesewer6798 that's a genius idea, I love it! I shall endeavor to make it a reality this week!
Omg I’d love to see historical circus costume recreations!
nice! noted!
Yes please!
Yesssssss. My kids do circus classes and I think they’d enjoy seeing “old timey” costumes, too.
Yes please, this!
@@ShannonMakes also if there's anything much that's changed in terms of requirements the costumes need to meet
I must say, much more "instructive" than the "I wore a corset for a week-to my sit down office job-and didn't die" videos
All respect and applause to your partner...
ahhhhhahahah, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I agree, this was so much more impressive! So cool to see the things you do!
ah, yes, the 'you have to be a circus artist (or similar) to do this video' or it'd be pointless. 'Cause that's what the haters point their finger at.
Huh??
@Tvianne Huh???
So. Now I no longer have any hesitation about putting my fictional action/adventure character in the sports corset during her day. She doesn't do HALF the stuff you do in your one video. Thanks for doing this! This is amazing!

I didn't remember this hilarious shot of Canelle peacefully curled up like nothing's happening, oblivious to the 2 humans casually defying the laws of physics in the background
What can I say, unimpressed corgi is unimpressed!! XD XD
This was so cool! Thank you for sharing your experience

Thank you very much! (and omg yes, that sequence alone took several hours to edit)
@Shannonmakes Well done video editing! Love the dose of a bored/sleeping Cannelle during rehearsal!
Wow amazing. How long have you and Phil been doing this? Loved this and all your video.
Now I understand your ability to do those arduous house renovation projects! The physicality of your art is amazing!!
Thank you 😊

Oh, I bet there's so much cool stuff to dig into
I would love to see more of your acrobatics and costumes both!

I want to see you doing this dressed as spiderman next - actually I can't believe how much mobility and strength you have, humans are amazing.

Oh this is SO COOL ❤❤❤
came for the circus corsetry, stayed for the corgi 😂 i love this so much!!!
Then all is right in the world 🎪❤️💛🐕🐾
I've never seen your channel before, but combine historical costuming + acrobatics + corgi = SUBSCRIBED!
Hell yea!! Thank you!

As a person who casually dabbles in historical dress *and* lyra hoop this video has 100% been relevant to my interests in a way I didn't think would ever organically show up.
HAHA, oh, see I like purple too, but not necessarily that shade, and also not the colors of all the neon chairs that are spread out in the building 🤣🤣 I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the intersection of your two interests. There's a bit of circus in my Recycling Rosie Onesie (I made it as a warm-up suit for backstage), and a bit of historical dress (more strictly historical in the next month or two), but mainly its more history-bounding with a side of corgi and circus and a healthy dose of recycling, so please feel free to stick around and poke through the video vault, see if anything else tickles your fancy!!
Wow, just wow. You two are amazing
thank you! 🤗❤️
So much fun! Girl, you are so strong, AND creative. Phil and Corgi are the best;)
Yes, they are!! ♥️💛🎪💛♥️
Oh wow, in 2012 I believe I went to see my first Cirque du Soleil Totem show and was working as an usher. I was so amazed by the performance it was almost hard to work. I will say if I knew you were part of the show I would like to come out and support you. Thanks for the entertainment not only on stage but also on TH-cam. Love your guys wheel routine, looks like a beautiful dance.
the editing in this video is fantastic! I particularly loved the warmup sequence. I'm mostly here for the sewing, but the circus arts and the corgi are fantastic additions :)
Thank you!!
Shannon, that was an amazing video. I always love seeing Canal and Phil but getting to see a glimpse of your performance was amazing. I started watching you after buying the house and wondered what the contracts were that you spoke of. Very entertaining 👏👏👏👏
I came here for the historical corset, and then you are showing me Copenhagen, where I was born. Such a nice surprise.
WOW! you and Phil are amazing! really enjoyed watching your performance. And yes to learning more about the history.
I was so excited to see you being in Copenhagen! Even before I saw the building you are performing in I knew you were there. 🥰
Not anymore, unfortunately - our contract finished mid June last year... was a lovely city and theater though!!
@@ShannonMakes I bet! Copenhagen is one of my favorite cities (but so is Montreal as well 😄)
It's so cool getting to see you in action! I'd love to see you make an historical circus outfit at some point.
Aww, thank you, Casca!! Glad you enjoyed it 🎪💃
That building is so cool!!!
Right?! It's so pretty and epic!!
Quelle chimie ! Partenaires au travail et en amour, vous êtes des oiseaux rares ! C'est beau de vous voir !
Oh my gosh, can I just tell you how happy I was to find this video and your channel in general??? I'm also a circus artist with a fashion/historical costuming side-hobby, and that cross-section is so frickin' random, I had to subscribe to you immediately! Love seeing more circus, costuming, or both content. So yeah, um...thank you! Keep being awesome! :)
Hello and welcome aboard! Most excellent to have another circus artist... there are a fair few in the comments section here! 🎪💛❤️
@@ShannonMakes So cool! I'm glad to be here :)
Oh my goodness, Shannon! That was so exhilarating to watch you and Phil performing with the wheel!
LOVE seeing you and Phil doing your craft Shannon! I found your channel when you bought your house in Nova Scotia so it’s the first time I see you in the ACT 😊 LOVE IT 🤩 More please in your current videos. Your warmup exercises / workout is also extra special to witness!
Loved this video the first time and it's still great this time, hope more people see it! All the content Shannon makes is so thoughtful, well made, and entertaining!
Thank you!!! Also I legit think that's the first time someone's made this type of word play with my channel name, and I AM HERE FOR IT!! Thanks for the kind words, and for watching (again)!
I’d love to see the differences/similarities between historic costumes and “costume” dresses (like the two tone Victorian costume dresses!)
Oh interesting! That was not what I meant by costume, I was thinking more circus costumes, things that would have been considered a costume even in their own time period, but yours is an interesting idea as well!
Cirque Du Soleil has been a love of mine since I was a kid!!! I literally clicked for that!
Fantastic!! ❤️💛🎪❤️💛
this might be a little bit off topic but the editing on this video it's incredible!
It's never a bad time to compliment me on my editing, I spend SO much time on it that I'll always shamelessly take compliments 😊😊
Canelle in the foreground like "meh, boring" is everything! Also, always totally impressed with your mad skills.
omg, so true. Unimpressed corgi is (unsurprisingly) unimpressed!!
There's quite the "WOW" factor here. Thank you!!
You're very welcome!!
I'd love to see more on the circus buildings, circus costume, and general behind the scenes.
sooooo everything but the corgi 🤣😭 (it's cool, she's always at the building, often wearing costumes, and frequently behind the scenes on all contracts)
I like the city view montage! Usually it's just boring ffotage with boring music over top, but yours is dynamic!
Thank you, I do try to keep my editing dynamic when possible
😹😹well WOW, I have a chronic fear of heights due to an accident 40 years ago, never got over it, I can watch someone else doing the stunts and know how hard they are and how much training goes into them, the fact you made the corset and used it in your warmup session to prove using a corset is not as bad as soo many actress have made out, but thinking back I think the issue for them was the lack of correct under garments to go with them and most likely not fitted to them correctly.
Would loved to have seen the full act that you were in, but living in the Aussie Outback does have its own limits😹😹😹😹
wow!! Everything I love in one video. Beautiful distant locations, handsome dog, people displaying exceptionalism, and a simple curiosity satisfied (I will not be making a corset to work out in, however it's good to know they aren't torture devices lol).
This was genuinely epic. I considered doing the ring and even went to a beginner class but I hate people touching me so that was out 😂 Thank you so much for sharing.
Oooh, yea, it'd be tricky to teach a safe class without ever touching the students, I could see how that would be maybe not the best mix. Sorry your experience wasn't a full win, but I'm glad you enjoyed the video!! Thanks for watching
WOW WOW WOW, that was amazing, you were fantastic!!! And the two of you together...More please!❤❤❤❤❤
I have an entire playlist on my channel homepage of the videos in which circus features heavily 🥰🎪
This is the video that brought me to your channel, and it's still my favorite! I’m impressed with the research you did, and would love to see those skills applied to historical circus costumes.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching (again)... I'd love to do some pure research on the topic, but I admit, I'm not 100% sure where to start, but my wheels are spinning!
That was so cool to see! You are a woman of many talents! What a surprise to discover this from a sewing video discovery of you. Wishing you all the best!
Thank you! ♥️🎪💛
Definitely need some vintage circus clothes please, it’s like all my interests in one! Xx
It's definitely in the list!! Just having a damn hard time finding good extant examples!!
You and Phil are totally awesome performers! I would be sick for days. A woman of many talents! Thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome!!
I have seen one of shows! 😊Shannon awsome! Hugs and love!❤😊❤
Beautiful Performance.....loved your Corgi. I had my Corky for 13 years. So much talent.
Thank you! The corgi is definitely the best part... I've got a few videos that are centered around her (Corgi Fainting Couch, and Doggy Deadpool Paw-loween costume)!! 🐶🐾
Glad to see you started with some easier stuff and worked up to the trickier bits!
For sure!! 💪
Yes, yes, and yes! Just found your channel and want to see more of your adventures.
Welcome aboard! Glad you’re exploring the channel and finding all the fun things!!
Shannon and partner doing super cool moves in the wheel. 😀 Corgi? Goes back to sleep totally unimpressed about the whole thing. 🤣
What can I say, Unimpressed Corgi is unimpressed 🤣🤣🤣
Hello hello 👋 I just found you trough your historic knitting videos. I am an art historian, lover of sewing, knitting, crazy cats and doggys and do aerial hoop for some years - now I am off to absolutely subscribing you! ❤❤❤
Hello and welcome aboard! An art historian... that's so cool! I've been looking at lots of historical circus art and posters lately 🎪🎨 Sounds like there are lots of things on the channel that will interest you - I've got corgi costumes and doggy-sized fainting couches, many sewing projects... a bit of circus pops up in my Recycling Rosie Onesie... all kinds of fun thing!!
@@ShannonMakes 💜💜💜
Your fur baby is so precious.
definitely!
I love the realism. Such beautiful work.
Thank you! 💪🎪
Holy cow! After half your warmup, I'd have to have a long nap! You are amazing!
Hoop ring act is memorizing, could watch you guys spin all day !
Just as much fun to rewatch as it was to view the first time. Thanks for sharing the circus part of your life.
Most excellent, thanks for the rewatch!
😯💜
What is so amazing about watching athletes like yourself, is how effortlessly graceful you make all this look. To the point where I, watch this while lying my ancient arthritic body on my bed, chihuahua on one side, cat on the other... Resting a bag of MnMs on my belly, think... yeah... I could do that. 😂🎉👵🏼
I want to attend one of your performances! Simply marvelous on many levels.
Thank you 😊😊
The wheel training looks so fun! but my heart was ìn my mouth watching you way up in the air. You are a great performer, but glad it wasn't me! Ha ha
I’ve been watching your videos about fixing up your home. Every time you’d say you are circus performers I wished I could see. I’m so happy this video showed up. You two are very talented AND brave!!!
I recently made an entire playlist of all the videos that are circus-heavy, you can find that playlist on my channel homepage ♥️💛🎪💛♥️
@@ShannonMakes
Thank you!🌻
Wow I could watch you all day!
Ooh, circus costumes!
Loved this, I was looking about for sports corset info and yours looks really good. Since plenty if those tricks probably either didn’t exist or women didn’t do them in the 1890’s this is a testament to what a good design this was for regular sports like riding or tennis.
Yes, the design would be more than sufficient for the sports of preference back then, I feel pretty confident in saying that! If you’re looking for info, I have a whole playlist on the topic, including two in-depth info dumps, one video on designing the pattern, one on making the real deal, and then this one obviously
Wow wow wow!! I love this. I have been watching for 6 months or so and was so curious about your “real” job!
Your gentle, understated sense of humor is absolutely delightful ^_^
Awww, thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I have no t seen this before this evening… I am sitting with my puppies and a cold drink and this video has just become my favourite TH-cam video of all time! ❤❤❤ Hubby is impressed too. 🎉 Please, please do some more videos like this if you have a chance. A ‘Ko-fi ‘ is on its way because I feel like I have just seen a quick performance. Brilliant brilliant brilliant. 😊
Thank you!!
Loved the glimpse of Copenhagen,so long ago. Great edit. Wheel has always intrigued me
Honestly this looks like such a dream job. I wish I could do even half these things. I'm coming off over a year of pretty debilitating disability that's been keeping me out of movement, but I've got new meds that are already helping me get moving more and I'm so excited.
It definitively has it's downsides, or days it can be fricking rough, but I wouldn't trade it for the world!
Hmmmm. Would I rather be impressed, informed, or entertained? I can't choose, I'll have to enjoy all three😀
This was such a fun video! I looove seeing the behind the scenes circus stuff, always a reminder about how hard you guys work! Putting that sports corset through its paces haha!
Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you so much for the glimpse into your performance life! Bravo!!
You’re welcome ☺️
I loved this so much! How fun! I’ve recently started watching your new (old) house videos & I would LOVE to see some circus videos sprinkled in there. Thank you!6
If you're into the circus, you should check out this past December's vlogmas videos, as there's some circus in each episode (we were on tour with a show for all of November/December) and there's also one very circus-specific one immediately before the start of the Vlogmas series
Phil is always smiling and seems like such a good guy! Y’all look fabulous together!
Thank you!
Cycling corset but you aren’t wearing it on the bike?
I fenced for 35 years, this circus work absolutely amazes me! More, please!
LOL I feel like there are about a zillion videos out there of people do rather mundane activities in their corsets. The whole point was for me to do something a bit more extraordinary (in the original sense of the word)... I literally ride a bike every single day, so that wasn't something that felt particularly interesting to "test out" ya know what I mean!?
Hi! I just have to say KOOZA is my fav show and when I saw the pictures, I literally screamed with joy!!!!!!!!
❤️💛🎪💛❤️
Yay! More circus and corset stuff!
Thank you, Anonymous Person!!
U two r so amazing thanks so much for the free show wow amazing ❤❤
Thank you for the show you both are great ❤
Our pleasure! Thank you!
