I'm a big fan of make do projects to get the look I love. I collect primitive including some portraits. My granddaughter once asked her mom why Grandma had pictures of ugly children with cats. My grandkids are now young adults and I terribly miss all the fun we had. Give yours a big hug from one of their fans. Your projects were awesome!
I will give them giant hugs for you! 😄 I had my own kids close together, and now grandkids are arriving in batches ❤️ Hahaha "ugly children with cats" - that cracks me up!
😅 I love having your granddaughters on the video! I was giggling and laughing from all the shaking of the camera. Little Claire's hands are so tiny that when I first saw them in the video I thought they were the hands of a doll she was holding! Call precious! You are so blessed to have your grandchildren nearby❤❤🦋🙏 your projects turned out beautifully
Oh my, little people sure do shake things up, literally!! 😄 I could not get Margaret to stay off that tripod. She had no idea it mattered at all. But when Claire said "it looked at me" I just cracked up! 😆 what a funny way to say she could see herself in the camera viewfinder! I loved seeing her tiny hands in that first shot, too 😍
How fun!!! Day of playing with the cans and pictures! Love the rooster! Oh how cute and precious your 2 granddaughters are!! They have beautiful smiles. Beautiful blue eyes!! Thanks for sharing your crafts today!
Marla have I shared my first grandchild was born this May❤ I can’t wait to experience all the blessings he will bring to our lives. Thanks for sharing your beautiful and entertaining grands with us.
They loved being part of my craft video! I sometimes let them do their own crafts at my workbench but that day I was trying to finish up that video segment 😄
Such fun with the little ones .love your eagle,only a true patriot would go to so much trouble!! My favorite video was your 4th of July last year so looking forward to this years. God bless you all.
Doesn't feel like trouble when I'm crafting because it's always more fun than housework!! 🪣🧼 I'm excited to do a big Yankee Doodle Dandy decor for the 4th this year, didn't get to do it during the year of chaos! The video I do have posted is from summer before last. It will make a fun task of unboxing my stored patriotic decor since I haven't seen it in a while! 🇺🇸
It is impossible for me to pick a favorite...but if I had to, I guess it would be the marshmallow and Cracker Jack tins. Those turned out so believable. And that rooster must be proudly, but silently, crowing at his fabulous new makeover! You might have struggled with the mechanics and painting of the eagle, but your solutions were creative and look great. Of course that had to be because you had such cute helpers while you worked. Isn't it the best; crafting with the grands. The memories of that time with Miggie will be sweet, for you and them. Their inquisitive, funny questions and comments were the best.....why do you love old things.....😂😂😂 I see future crafters! Hope we see more of them! Thanks for all the great inspiration.❤
😄 I am guessing they'll be popping into future videos here and there! I know they enjoy the attention, no doubt! The tin dupes did turn out nicely, but from 3 feet away 😉 and that works for me. I've kind of turned a corner with my crafting. Instead of "what's everybody else doing?" I'm now asking myself "how can I make a version of that thing I've always wanted?" It's challenging me to think hard for unexpected materials (synthetic hair for the antique paintbrush). I've got a sizeable list of projects I'm planning to film soon. We are in North Carolina this weekend, twins & their parents are with us, and we are having a wonderful time. Will share pics soon ❤️
I just love your grandchildren in the video! I wish I had done it when mine were young. I love your ideas and the eagle. Thanks for sharing your projects. Terri
What would we do without our grandchildren? I have 2 of ours for a week in June, and I'm making a surprise craft bag for each day ...of course, a treat in each bag too!💗💗
How wonderful!! That's a really great idea! They're going to LOVE that. ❤ The time I spend with my grandbabies is priceless, and there's always a memory being made. I think these girls will get a kick out of watching themselves in this video for years to come! 😄
Claire coming out with that line: "it looked at me" just slayed me! 😆 🤣 😂 and I'm so glad I decided to film while they were spending the afternoon with me. Real interaction we can look back on with joy! 💕
I'm so glad you enjoyed watching! 😃 My little girls are a pure delight to me, and it was a lovely spontaneous thing to have them guest star in this episode. I have more patriotic crafts planned and will share as soon as I can! 🇺🇸 🗽
Thanks, Liz! I'm so glad I decided to film while they were spending the afternoon with me! I should have guessed they'd want to be right in the middle of it, but it was an unplanned event to have them in the video. Now we will have something to look back on with fondness! 💕
😃 That has become my new frame of mind: if it's too hard to find, or too expensive, can I make one?? And many times, I can! Currently trying to figure out how to make a demijohn (glass bottle with basket weaving on it) 🤔 💭
I should do that to the red lacquer color for sure, just wasn't patient enough to do it for the one spindle! 😄 I'm not sure what to do for the separating and odd smelling blue color though 🤔
You did a great job on these crafts ...when did you get those little girls from Hobby Lobby just wondering if they still have them or something similar...your tins came out great...the cracker jack one I had years ago...always wanted the marshmallow one ...may email you for those...so many projects under my belt..thanks for video...hope you are feeling well....
I got the little girl ornaments last week! They should still have some. I think I could do a better job on the marshmallow tin next time around, but it still looks good from 3 feet away! 😉 I'm feeling better on new meds with a new doctor, and praising God for it!! 🙌
Hey, Gina! 👋😃 Thanks for subscribing! I could give you the link for the listing of that can, but it would help you more if you'd let me email my images to you that are already sized correctly for a coffee can. Shoot me an email and I'll reply with images attached! Macain77@gmail.com
Not yet! We got it in the dry so that we could use it for storage, which was the most urgent need, but it's not pretty yet! We are looking forward to getting it done this summer, and I will be filming for sure! We got too exhausted by last fall and had to hit the pause button til warmer weather 😄
Aaahhhh!! I have never seen one in person, not even in an antique store. I wonder if that brand was not common here in the south (Alabama). But my dupe is great until I do find one I can afford!

Marla so good to see you tonight. I love vintage patriotic whether real or DIY!!!!!! Blessings
Thanks, Sandie! 😊 I really do love vintage patriotic items. They're just so charming to me! 🇺🇸🗽
I just love your grandchildren in the video! I wish I had done it when mine were young. I love your ideas and the eagle. Thanks for sharing your projects. Terri
You are very kind! 😊 Glad to share my ideas!
Your thrift flips are my favourite of any channel.
Love the Campfire tin. I would totally buy your dupes :).
What a fantastic compliment! 😃
I appreciate your encouragement so much! My dupes are "3 foot test" dupes 😄👍

They're a hoot! 😄 and I can't remember what I used to do before I had them!!
What would we do without our grandchildren?
I have 2 of ours for a week in June, and I'm making a surprise craft bag for each day ...of course, a treat in each bag too!💗💗

Loved this whole video and projects but I have to say those precious granddaughters stole the show!
They surely enjoyed their spotlight!! But Claire saying "it looked at me" really cracked me up! 😄
I loved these thrift flips. They all turned out so pretty and l loved the way you displayed them. Love and blessings Marla. ✌❤🙏
Thank you, Sandra! 😃 So glad you enjoyed my ideas! 🇺🇸 ❤️
Oh my gosh, Marla! You and your girls are so adorable! Love that interaction! ♥🌻🥰
Claire coming out with that line: "it looked at me" just slayed me! 😆 🤣 😂 and I'm so glad I decided to film while they were spending the afternoon with me. Real interaction we can look back on with joy! 💕
Your granddaughters are so precious
Thank you! They're a gift 🎁 💕 😊
Your grands are so precious,beautiful girls!❤😊
Thank you! They're my sweethearts! 💕
The marshmallow tinned turned out really well. It looks so good 😊
Thanks! It's believable from 3 feet away, at least! 😜
This was such a fun video, MArla. The gran- girls are precious. The younger one looks just like you💕 Hope to see more DIY’s. I love what you do🫶🐞
I'm so glad you enjoyed watching! 😃
My little girls are a pure delight to me, and it was a lovely spontaneous thing to have them guest star in this episode. I have more patriotic crafts planned and will share as soon as I can! 🇺🇸 🗽
Everything turned out beautiful and those girls are precious 💕
Thanks! I can't wait until my girls see themselves on a video at their house 😄
I need to call their momma and tell her to play it for them!
The tins look fantastic. Before I watched the video, I just assumed you purchased them. All your projects look amazing.
😊
Best compliment ever! I'm ok with the "three foot test" 😄
Everything turned out great Marla. I just love Patriotic decor. Love and blessings ❤️💙🇺🇸💙❤️
Thank you, Jean! I love my country! 🇺🇸
I do too🇺🇸
Such a wonderful video Marla!! Enjoyed every minute, especially seeing your adorable granddaughters ❤❤❤
Thanks, Liz! I'm so glad I decided to film while they were spending the afternoon with me! I should have guessed they'd want to be right in the middle of it, but it was an unplanned event to have them in the video. Now we will have something to look back on with fondness! 💕
Love the cans, I have really wanted the campfire one but so expensive, so great idea to make them.
😃 That has become my new frame of mind: if it's too hard to find, or too expensive, can I make one?? And many times, I can! Currently trying to figure out how to make a demijohn (glass bottle with basket weaving on it) 🤔 💭
So proud that I found you😂. My kind of girl. Throughly enjoyed.
Margaret, how sweet! 💕 I'm very glad you found me too! 👋😄
Thank you for sharing. Great diys. God bless you!
Thanks so much! 😃 💕
You did an amazing job with the Campfire can.
Thanks! Only good from 3 feet away, but looks convincing at that distance! 😄 If I do another one, I think I can do it even better 👍
Your gran babies are adorable
They were so excited to be in my video! Spontaneous happy event! 😊
Hello beautiful girls! Marla I love these crafts! Great job!!!✌🏼❣️🇺🇸
Oh I'm so glad! And I was happy my girlies got in this video 😊 💓
Marla, you can add warm water to your paint and bring them back to life.
I should do that to the red lacquer color for sure, just wasn't patient enough to do it for the one spindle! 😄 I'm not sure what to do for the separating and odd smelling blue color though 🤔
Marla, what great projects! Thanks for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed! 😃✨️
My granddaughter tells me iike things "old" but thats the i way i usually buy it. Not much of artist but i do have the supplies to try!
They know my house is full of old things, and I'm sure they're trying to figure out why I wouldn't prefer something fresh and clean 😄 🤣 😂
I love all of the projects!
Thanks! I've got several more patriotic projects and may do another video in a couple of weeks 🇺🇸 🎆
You are so creative!
My mind is never bored! 😜
Just discovered your channel, and I LOVE IT 🥰
Thanks, Sherry! I'm so glad to meet you! 👋😃 and so glad you're enjoying watching!
They are soo preshh!! 🥰🥰
Those girls are just pure joy in my life! 😊 💕
♥️♥️🌹🌹
Hello sweet lady! I finally was able to see your email and sent a reply! 😊
You did a great job on these crafts ...when did you get those little girls from Hobby Lobby just wondering if they still have them or something similar...your tins came out great...the cracker jack one I had years ago...always wanted the marshmallow one ...may email you for those...so many projects under my belt..thanks for video...hope you are feeling well....
I got the little girl ornaments last week! They should still have some. I think I could do a better job on the marshmallow tin next time around, but it still looks good from 3 feet away! 😉 I'm feeling better on new meds with a new doctor, and praising God for it!! 🙌
I think I need a new dr. and new drugs also....mine are not working anymore ...
..
It made a difference for me! My old doctor seemed a bit bored with my care. It's just 10 minutes in his day, but it's MY ENTIRE LIFE to me!!
Beautiful creations. Do you have a link for the campfire prints ? Thanks new subbie 💕☺️ Have a beautiful weekend 💕🇺🇸

Did your family finish the shed. 16:13
Not yet! We got it in the dry so that we could use it for storage, which was the most urgent need, but it's not pretty yet! We are looking forward to getting it done this summer, and I will be filming for sure! We got too exhausted by last fall and had to hit the pause button til warmer weather 😄
❤🤍💙
I wish you'd sell the pattern for the eagle
Have mercy, email me and I'll just send you my image!
Macain77@gmail.com
Or do you mean an actual tissue paper pattern? I could mail that to you in a regular envelope
Subbed thank you 😊❤️🤍💙
So happy to meet you, Annie! 👋😃
Thanks for subscribing! 💕
I had the marshmallow can snd got rid of it cause it was do big? Dumb!
Aaahhhh!! I have never seen one in person, not even in an antique store. I wonder if that brand was not common here in the south (Alabama). But my dupe is great until I do find one I can afford!
