You are telling the truth! Tired and frustrated, plus crafting, is a recipe for disaster waiting to happen.
EVERYTIME!!!!
It's good to see I'm not the only one that dives into a project full of chaos, but the outcome was spectacular, thanks for keeping it real.
Thanks for watching LOLOLOL! THAT is so Funny! When l watched the footage I was like what are you doing??? I couldn't believe i didn't stop! I had to share that this is how it is sometimes! I appreciate you for acknowledging i am not alone!
It turned out just fine, Gretchen, for all the stress and trouble….definitely a happy ending. In full size, the job of the magicians we call upholsterers is simply to hide the edges. Under the trim, under the fringe, under the cording, it can be as ugly as sin (that’s pretty ugly!), but with the staples and fraying, and uneven cuts covered up, it looks like somebody’s Fairy Godmother waved her wand. Just keep that wand of yours polished up and your success rate will remain 100%! As ever, I love it!
I really love how you share everything with us. Good, bad and ugly and how nice things can turn out.
Yet another thing I learn from you, don’t give up. I’ve always been stubborn, so giving up is not something I do easily.
LOLOLOL! THAT is so Funny! When l watched the footage I was like what are you doing??? I couldn't believe i didn't stop!
I love the chair. It looks like it is a favorite chair of Aunt Bess that has been passed down. And it is an honor for her to let them borrow it for the wedding.
I love how you always manage to turn things around, while explaining why you went wrong (which is super helpful for us lesser mortals who may be not quite as courageous as you!) It turned put really comfy looking and the little footrest really brought it together. You are right, it looks just like a comfortable chair that has been given a new lease of life to become a favourite for another generation!
That is Exactly why i share things like this because you need to know this is ALL a part of you Growth as a miniaturist! I used to think if i didn't do i well the 1st time that, it was over! Now i know it's just means l need to train y hands to make what my mind sees!
You work magic girl! I was sure you were going to rip it all off and start all over and yet you were able fix your errors and make a pretty little chair! You are inspiring!❤
It’s a joy to watch you crafting and to know that we all have these days when we just won’t let go or give in. We sometimes need these processes to learn new skills and things about ourselves as you say. I’ve tried a few upholster chairs after watching many videos and still found it really tricky but so rewarding. A friend of mine uses an expression ‘stay in your lane’ and I know what she means but what I love about miniatures is that you can come out of your lane and try new crafts and skills and if it fails there’s not much to lose in time or money. Keep on crafting and please keep sharing it all! ❤
Your honest mistakes and salvation of your chair at the end can be put in the category of “master tutorials”. Thanks for all your help 😊
Wow, thanks! l appreciate you!
We learn from problems. Don’t despair.
Yes We Do! Thank you!!
In hot weather, frozen fruit makes a tasty and cooling treat.
I love your eye for detail. The things you make look real.
I've watch dollhouse furniture makers for years now. And I can say without any hesitation that your talents are among the best of them. 👍
Oh WOW! What a KIND Compliment! THAT is So Sweet OF YOU TO SAY THAT DARLENE! THAT IS TRULY ENCOURAGING! Thank You!☺️💖💖💖💖💖
The end result is amazing, even though the journey was a rocky road
LOLOLOOLOL!!!!Thanks Queen! This project was a complete circus!!! LOLOLOOL!! When i watched the 1st footage the next day I was like WHY? WHY? WHY? I'm definitely looking forward to trying again using proper form and appropriate techniques!
I'm holding my phone watching you and my other hand petting my cat. Then liking comments with my nose as I ran out of hands! Cat likes attention. Now she's almost sitting on my head and hitting my face with her tail. Wants more attention. Any pets in the dollhouse or a caged bird 🐦?
That chair made you work hard. The guys ought to be doing mini upholstery work and not only building to help you.
Funny you asked that because l have some plans for the men regarding furniture. l can't share yet! Lolol! No there are not pets in the house. l had a gold fish once and l didn't do well with the loss. l'm allergic to dogs so l didn't grow up with animals or pets. But there is a gold in the original dollhouse in the kitchen.
You are so wonderful and real!! We have all had struggles and you make we us feel better about those struggles! Miniatures are fun but not always easy!!!
It all turned out in the end. And if you are happy with it, that's all that matters! I think the dolls will love it! And the little footstool is just icing on the cake.
I'm glad you kept at it, and I'm also glad that you kept the video!
A couple of doilies and it's ready for a grandma. 😍🥰💝
LOLOLOLOLL!!! I KNOW RIGHT!!! The "Dollies really Personalized it!!!!
Well, well how I can relate to this “process!” LOL!!!!!! My first chair was beyond a disaster ….there was NO saving it! Zero!!! Zero!!!
You made this video with great comments and good humor, Gretchen! And …it did all turn out to be a very useable chair with a wonderful story! Whichever wedding guest sits in it will be grateful!! Thanks for a fabulous tutorial …as you called it, “chaos” and all! ❤ Kathleen
LOLOLOOLOL!!! Isn't this a Wonderful Journey of revelation and discovery! I'm so Glad l kept a few of my 1st attempts! So many i threw away because I thought it meant I would not get better. I was so relieved when DADDY helped me to understand that Success is just a few fails away...
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 I want you to know I live vicariously through the sweet stories of your wise, gentle dad. For those of us whose fathers were not as such, it’s lovely to hear of fathers who were and are! He would be immeasurable proud of you, Gretchen - for continuing your passions and remaining true to yourself, always. ❤️❤️
Oh boy, I was so frustrated today stuffing a pillow for a rocking chair!! You made my day look like it was great, you really pulled it off in the end, well sort of!😂
i'm so glad to hear this!!! Be assured struggling with these projects is all a part of the process of getting better!!
My granddaughters want to do miniatures. We watch your channel and others. This is a good tatural for them to learn. We are looking for a house, dolls and furshing so I can help them build there house. I have 2 teenagers are so excited to make there own house. Thank you for showing your mistakes and they are getting to learn what to do
I would say your strong suit is perseverance!
Love how this little chair turned out Gretchen, and you always show us the process and mistakes, this helps us so much, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong…I guess enough wrongs can make a right. It turned out so cute in the end and I’m glad you shared this with us. We all need to be reminded that there are times when we need to step back without getting discouraged. However, we need to balance it with perseverance and take care of ourselves. You are still one of the best teachers I know and I love you and your art so much ❤ xx
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! Cassandra this project was a whole circus! Now I'm looking to do Another WING BACK chaor using the proper technique!!! LOLOLOLOLL!!! Thank you for the Kind compliment! This comment made me smile!!!
Lovely chair❤sometimes I have projects like this n won't give up! It's how we learn I think.thankyou for sharing😊
🤣🤣🤣 Girl! You were having some kinda day weren't you LMAO! It happens to all of us, and always good to know our favourite doll house Guru is only human after all. The chair turned out lovely by the end of it, so that gives us ALL hope LOL
Thank you NESSIE! It WAS A WILD RIDE! 😂 PLANNING THE WEDDING and Dressing DOLLS HAS GOT ME WORKING LIKE IT'S A LIFE SIZE WEDDING!🤭☺️🤭😂💖
I admire your perseverance throughout the process!! The result is lovely and comfortable looking!!😍❤️
🤗Thank you Nancy!!!
I have been working on wingback chairs for a while…. And I am still working on them … it’s one of my long term goals. But I get better every time I make another one. I think you did great!
This is Wonderful to hear! Thank you!
I know exactly how you feel. I have had those times when I should have called it a day on a project or some part of it and I kept working on it till I was crossed-eyed. But, it is as you said it is not meant for us to be good at everything and that is where we look for help. The fact there is a large catalog of free tutorials at our disposal to help us learn and perfect a craft is pretty amazing.
Thank you for letting me know i am not alone in those crazy moments of a miniature craft disaster! LOLOOLOL!!! Having this platform to share and also seek help is AMAZING!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665, You are definitely not alone in those disasters. Mine are one for the record, lol. I love discovering new ways to make things as I have learned and picked up tips from you, Jolene, Shyra, Ara and other miniaturist. I have even picked up ideas from others who are.
Howdy Miss Gretchen ... "iron out the problems" cracked me up. You're a trooper I'll give you that hehehe Thanks for sharing - lovely chairs
“Truly committed to the chaos”… been there 😂
I love that you’re so real with us - thank you! ❤
🤭☺️😆 THANKS HEATHER!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖
Lol I had to laugh at myself today, I thought I would start making a dollhouse (for my granddaughter) from a kit. I took all the pieces out of the box and then decided maybe not, and as I tried to put the pieces back into the box I couldn't, it wouldn't fit! Long story short, I truly felt like I could relate to your frustration today. Sometimes we have to press on. Which you do, I'm learning to lol.
Hello Gretchen,you deserve 10/10 for perseverance, I would have given up long before lol. It turned out really cute in the end, I could definitely see an elderly person sitting in it as their favourite chair.
Have a lovely week ahead.
Best Wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧 😊
You've just made a really bad day much more bearable! I haven't laughed out loud for a while, it really is the best medicine! And as everyone else has said, at the end it looked lovely!!!
I'm so glad it made you laugh Francess!!! I'm still laughing at myself I can hardly believe I posted it!! But it was just too funny not to share!!! 🤣😂🤣💖 Thank you for watching!
Hi Gretchen. This was so much fun. Thank you I really like the fun in your voice. Have a great day. See you Wednesday. Byebye.
Thank you So much! l'm Glad that you can hear the JOY and FUN in my voice because I LOVE sharing!! l appreciate you for being here!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 That was the word Joy. I was looking for. I live in the Netherlands. So excuse for my bad English. Thank you for your kind words.
It must have been that kind of weekend. Because I was working on a grill for my dolls. I just kept on going even though it was not going well🤣🤣I got it done.
LOLOLOLOL!!! That is So Funny!!! Bottom line you got it done!!!
😂
Well, I love it. Not everything comes easy, and the ones that test us, also grab our hearts LOL. I say well done!
Thanks Figgy!!!💖💖💖
Love your "never say die" attitude! And it's definitely Grandma's chair. She gets the comfy chair! I sent you a question in your email😀
I'm So sorry l'm so behind in my replies!
Good for you for stretching yourself and learning ~that's the only way to grow! I think in the end it came out really cute - you can always put a throw or a cat or dog or a throw pillow on the chair to hide imperfections. I like the end result!
Thanks Kat!!! You are So Right! And definitely have ALOT to LEARN, but the PROCESS is DELIGHTFUL!!!!!
I can see how you struggled with that chair but, you kept on going and worked through it. The end result looks great 👍 👍. I also enjoyed your humor through the process. Not something you would find in a furniture store but something you definitely would find at Grandma's house. Good job
Committed to the chaos! Yes!
When I saw the title of the video, my first thought was, "But they both look lovely!" But after watching the video, I see what you mean. 😄 I made some of the same mistakes when I started making my chairs from the Bentley House templates earlier this year. (I really ought to finish those as soon as I can make some room on my craft table.) But you recovered, and the end result looks great. 😊 Thank you for sharing the goofs as well as when everything runs smoothly. Trust me when I say I can relate! 😉
Committed to the chaos with a whole lotta camouflage going on, love it! I think the chair looks great, that material is perfect for it. I mentioned my deer/fishing camp before, if I'd had a sledge hammer one day, it would have been a goner. Now it's everyone's favorite, and it's not even finished. Only I know all the artless chaos that went into it!😅
That's happens so often! One of my 1st videos I posted , making stones from egg carton,.....it was not what l wanted nor did it look like l planned it, but it was a HIT!
You made me laugh so hard! Thank you for this! And I think it turned out really well 👏👏👏
I'm so glad it made you laugh, because was laughing too!! When i watched the replay l couldn't believe i had filmed it!
Love your chairs
It still turned out beautiful and your right, being tired or frustrated is not good for creativity. Take care 👏🙏❤️
Ya! I know what you mean about a total shiP wreck 😂😂! I think real life upholstering looks very similar to what you did. When I began knitting again after my childhood days, I read that there was just a certain amount of rubbish that one had to knit before transforming into an expert. Many many many years later I know how true it is. I think the same can be said for minis. Fortunately for you, you are beyond the making rubbish stage. Look at that beautiful chair! And ottoman! 🥰✨
Yes! That's true real life upholstery looks terrible in the process! It's also TRUE THAT a lot of errors, mistakes and shipwrecks happen in the process! I have definitely come a long way! 😉💖💖🤣💯
I do make a few items and yes, every emotion from despair to elation often arise quickly. Luckily, I'm not yet like King Lear, who died 'twist sorrow and joy' from those roller-coaster feelings. That also happens to me when I order furniture or accessories on-line: joy when the package arrives, despair when I open it and realize that yet again, the scale is either way too small or ludicrously large.
Omgosh Gretchen..this is so classic! A true experience we all have as miniaturist's. I remember making my first sofa, the one in the Josephine House, yea that's the second, the first one is a lot bigger, but trying to upholster that😬😂
The two wing back chairs I made came from Bentley House Minis. Ara has a free pattern and a great tutorial. They were the first pieces of furniture I ever made for the house and even though not as professional as hers are, the template and tutorial were lifesavers. Probably saving every family member of my household😂🤣
Love this and can totally relate!❤
LOLOLOLOLOL! For confirming that you understand the Struggle!! LOLOOLOL!! I want to totally modify a wing back chair kit i found on Ebay, From the House of miniatures collection. i really want to exaggerate the angles! I need to chair your videos for that chair and sofa set!
lol I tried winging a counter yesterday- and my scale was all off 🤦🏻♀️ luckily I just added more wood to the bottom and was able to save it! I often jump in and figure it out later! Lol
LOLOLOL! STEPH!!!😂🤣😂 I used to get in trouble with DADDY about that ALL THE TIME! He would ask me me" what's the RUSH"? ..... I wanted to get done so l could "PLAY" with what I had made! I got so tickle when you said you just added wood that sounds so familiar!!!
It turned out pretty well!
Well, I love it
Thanks Gloria!!!
I think you did an amazing job. I love the colours ❤
😂😂😂😊
Thanks for sharing Even the boo boo parts.
