mrs. Cog, I’m looking through your digital downloads on your site. And I can’t find pink in the garden. I see yellow in the garden. Do you still have the pink?
I do still have the Pink Garden digi available. :-) www.etsy.com/listing/584977068/pink-in-the-garden-digital-ephemera
I loved hearing your beautiful voice, my friend! I'm excited to hear and see more about the teachables! Love it that you are expanding your reach and will be sharing your techniques. You're my hero, you know. Hugs! ❤️
Ahh, Gayle you remain my confidence coach! Whenever I am stuck for any answer or delivery in the junk journal world, I ask myself what you would do. It always supplies the right answer. Thank you for all your loving support! I can't imagine growing in these endeavors without your creative example and encouragement. Big hugs! ❤️
You are doing great with your videos. Your a great teacher and pleasant voice to listen to.
Learned a few things. Thank you. Blesings
Love your videos, and I always learn something new from each one it seems. Thanks for sharing. I have the Tim Holtz distress ink I just have never known how I wanted to use it till now. I have recently started tea dying paper and getting into journal making. I have just started my first vintage style journal and it will be a gift for my friend. Her mother was a Rebekah and so she brought me vintage leaflets and booklets from their meetings from the 70’s. I am excited to work on it and I am learning a little history in the process. Have a great day and thank you again for sharing your ideas.
Thank you for your distressing tips. I look forward to more of your videos and seeing your gorgeous work.
Lovely chat, I enjoyed my cup of earl gray tea while watching your video and I am looking forward to your tutorials. Hugs 😊
Thanks so much Vicki! A big hug to you too! :-)
Dearest Mrs. Cog... All you creative ladies are so inspiring. And I just wanted to let you know that I am a big fan of your JJs and processes. Thank you for such a nice video. I so enjoyed all your tips while you were working away... it was quite soothing and informative. I do not have a channel yet... hopefully soon :) I live in a pocket where I do not get a good signal. I can watch easier than I can communicate. Again you're much appreciated... with over 5000 views; I guess I spoke the obvious. :)
Hi Linda
You have a great and very big buisnes going on... I did see your product and l am owerwelm. You must have many People to work for you. You cant make all the books alone. I did not see this in beginning. I do enjoy when a woman know how to grow her own life. Thank you for let me know... Love from Ronja
Thank you Ronja. I make all the journals myself, no one works for me. I devote many hours to my creations, but I love what I do so it doesn't feel like "work." :-)
Hi...I'm a new subscriber...Thanks for all you share! I found that the rayon and cotton lace trims take the dyeing really well but if there is polyester in the trims; which is really plastic, I have the same problem...They resist the dyes. I think natural fibers drink up the coffee, tea and avocado dyes really well. Just a tip : I read the trim labels to see how much poly is used or if it even contains it. Then I know whether it will absorb the dye ahead of time! :)
Hi, new to your channel. Enjoying everything.
You make everything look and feel so cozy. I adore your vids. I am a faerie lover (have two faerie gardens outside (including gnome areas), and I get so much enjoyment out of putting things together (and yes, I love to buy faerie things for them too--irresistible) for my faerie gardens like rock piles and flags and flora set ups. But that adorableness has been complete (mostly--every year I add an item or two) and I've been knee deep into my art more and more. Being retired I have much more time to spend and currently journals are my thing. I have been excited at the sheer number of vids on the subject and I especially love yours. Everything you do is amazing and talented. I finally found some sequin and embroidery pieces from India. I got around 40 different "tapestries" about 6-8" long by 2 1/2" (obviously cut from a garment or something) and your recent vid on making tags or little hanging things on a large safety pin from these gorgeous segments was absolutely inspirational for me. I got a Brother sewing machine at the Mission store here in AZ for $10 (it was 1/2 off day too! haha) and it has more stitches than I know what to do with. Like others, I'll likely just use zigzag and straight stitches. Mind you I've not sewn since I was 28--a veerrry long time ago. But I found my model machine online and was able to download and copy the whole manual. I have been teaching myself all over again. I love the way stitched things look in the journals. I made a sweet cotton skirt with an overlay of organza for one of my quirky characters (also learned from you with my own spin on it.lol. ) I made my Natl. Geographic journal following carefully the steps you did and it turned out wonderfully. So thank you thank you, Elizabeth. XOXOJane
A tea and chit-chat goddess....so good to hear you!!! Keep 'em coming!!
LOL Ellen, you rock! I can't wait until you can come back to the mountain and play again!! We'll have Cog make us his favorite 'skets for dinner so we can get extra crafting time. ;-)
i use make up wedges for distressing
Ive just found you. Interesting, thanks for sharing.
Wish we had a Hobbylobby in the UK! That lace looks beautiful xxx
Looking forward to your classes Just subscribed. Yes, I even ordered a few of diji ephemera and this was exactly what I wanted! Thank you so much! Now back to my binge watching of your videos. Love them all. Psst. Love your calm voice too. Mine will give you whiplash...just a warning. hugz
Thank you Nery. :-)
You should try to dye your lace with turmeric and rust it works beautifully I add a little vinegar a little salt then boil it for an hour and let it set overnight the next day you get up everything is a different guy try a small amount of lace at first to see if you like it, I love what you do
Hi Kathy
I've loved this chat! Thank you for sharing your talent and tips here!
One thing you might want to try out for some of your "aging" is the Rit tan dye. I've used it instead of tea on fabrics that I wanted to soften the appearance of, but not for paper yet.
I've just gotten the idea, but haven't tried, to use some wild-crafted botanicals instead of the expensive tea bags. We live in the woods, and you may have access on your little peninsula, as well. A list of natural dyes would give the colors of different leaves/flowers/berries/seeds, etc. I love your art!
thank you so much for sharing and so looking forward to your tutorials...and oh boy a giveaway that is going to be so special for the person who wins.....
Drinking a cup of Yorkshire tea watching this fascinating video I’m feeling very inspired, and you have explained it beautifully, I didn’t know any of this thank you loved it xox 🎀🌸🐇🍄
I always learn new things from you! Trying to find the tutorial or class based on the journal you swapped with Chantale... maybe 3-4 months ago!
Hi 🙋♂️
I just found you last night and am really enjoying your videos. I would love to take some of the teaching lessons. You are such a creative and interesting lady. Thank you so much for sharing your creations and talents.
Hello Rachel

Aww gnomes! David the gnome was the best show..... I️ have a book that’s like the encyclopedia of gnomes it’s amazing. :) we used to go camping at Grand Lake when I️ was a kid and the stream and red mushrooms we thought gnomes lived there as kids.., can’t wait to see. And would love love love to take a course!!! Yay!!!
Thank you, thank you Jennifer! It makes perfect sense that you like gnomes... they are friends with the bunnies lol. Hugs! :-)
Hi how are you doing my friend
Great to meet the famous Mrs. Cog! I have heard so much about your art from Gayle and am excited to watch your videos.
Thank you for sharing. I’m so glad I found your channel through Gayle Agostinelli. Looking forward to learning more about how to make journals. 🤗
I enjoyed your video, Elizabeth, and congratulations on your new teaching career. I'm sure you'll do well. Debbie :)
Thanks so much Debbie!! Hugs! :-)
Thank you so much. I just found you and your videos yesterday. I am loving them. Have you made a video on how you make your covers yet? I would be very interested in seeing how you make them.
I watched and subscribed this because of Gayle Agostinelli she talks about you a lot. I just had to come see for myself look forward to watching more of your videos
Hello how are you doing my friend
Elizabeth I love your work and so excited to see what comes to teachable. It is wonderful to hear your voice and see your face to pair with the name. Thank you so much for sharing yourself and your talent with us all.
Thank you so much Pamela. I'm so happy to be able to give back to such an inspiring creative community. Hugs! :-)
Such a nice video, Elizabeth! I enjoyed having coffee with you and am looking forward to many more of your informative tutorials. I do hope you do one on "Snippets". I haven't done that yet and would love to see your version. Your work is amazing and I so look forward to seeing more. Btw...love hearing your voice! ...Carol
Thank you so much Carol! There are many more tea and coffee chats to come. And Oh m' goodness do I have a snippets surprise to share... almost ready, just a bit more to add. ;-)
Also, StazOn has a nice Ganache colour. It’s not black, but a deep brown. It’s my second favourite after vintage photo.
So nice to see and hear you "in the flesh" and "in distress - ink" that is! So many thoughts and things on your plate ahead - can't wait for your next share. Hoping winter will soon be done and Spring will roust more inspiration.
Thank you Cheryl! I am ready for the weekly dusting of snow here to be finished. I've already started planning my spring garden and ordered heirloom seeds for early salad greens just yesterday. It's just around the corner!! I see garden journals. Hugs! :-)
So happy to meet you in person. I just love your style in your planners\journals. I would like to see one of your planners through out. TFS.
Thank you Debbie! :-)
I just found your channel, and I am loving it. I saw the bears and they are so cute. I am based in South West France, so I will look forward to enjoying your work!
Wow this is fantastic Elizabeth, so looking forward to all you can share with us. Thank you xx
Thank you as always for your wonderful encouragement dear. Hugs! :-)
Thank you Mrs. Cog!
How exciting to hear you will be teaching 👌🏼 tutorials and giveaway and your lovely voice ! How wonderful 😍 can’t wait to see more
Hello 👋
I am so excited that my wish for a tea dying of paper is going to come true. I have had success with the laces. However, I know nothing about the technique for the papers. Thank you so much.
Aww, thanks Gracie! I have a number of videos to put together over the next few weeks, but tea dyeing pages is near the top of my list. There are so many ways to do it, but I'm glad to share my method and discoveries. :-)
Hi Gracie
Hi Liz,
Since you asked about what we might want to know more about, I thought I would ask you about your covers that you stitch. I am wondering if you sew a collage together and then glue or if you sew your collage pieces right onto the cover or is every cover different? I enjoy your videos and seeing your journals. Also, what do you use to make your videos, because you usually just do a series of still shots without all of the discussing that many others do on TH-cam for journal making?
Have a blessed day!
Hi Chrissie - for my quilted look, fabric pieced covers like the one I just posted called "Stormy Weather", I sew the various shapes of fabric together, then back the whole thing with a sturdy canvas and zigzag along the top of the seams for effect. Then I cover the journal as I would with any single piece of fabric. I use Photoshop and Windows Movie Maker programs to edit and construct my videos. :-)
Hello how are you doing my friend
Nice to put a face to the name. I really like what I saw of the green gnome journal.
Looking forward to seeing your teachables. Learning so much from the talented world of UTube. Thank you.
Enjoyed my coffee with you ! I would never have thought to use the ink on pegs or buttons so thank you. From another no sewer😂
Great new! I can't wait to see your tutorials;). It's nice to see the pretty face behind all the beautiful work you do. Tfs❣
You're so sweet Angie, thanks so much! :-)
Hi Elizabeth, I really enjoy watching your videos and love your journals, so unique!! Can't wait to have a chance to win one of them. Thank you for sharing your tips as well.
Thanks so much Sandy! :-)
Hi Sandy
It's Mrs. C!!! Yea!!! There is definitely something soothing about distressing. One thing I have done with trims: mix vintage photo re-inker with some water in a spray bottle, then spray on your laces ( i use a lot of the same ones you use). You can vary the intensity of the color according to the amount of water you use. If you try it, let me know if it worked for you! I'm pretty impatient so that saves me time. :) Love hearing your voice!!!
Oh m'gosh that's brilliant. I will try that and get back to you!! Thank you Kim!! Hugs! :-)
Oh wow! I can’t wait! Thank you for sharing your talents! ❤️Anna
Thanks Anna! I am more than happy to give back to this wonderful crafting community. Hugs! :-)
Thank you very much for sharing this way. So enjoyed your video!
Thanks Lonna, I appreciate your feedback. I am looking forward to mixing up my video formats with more talking/live videos. :-)
Thank You Thank You! For this tips. Love it 💕
Thanks Elizabeth. I enjoyed having coffee with you 😉
Aww, thanks Jeanne. A good cup of coffee while examining the details of your beautiful work is one of my favorite things to do! I always enjoy coffee with you! :-)
How do we find your teachables?
Hi Jessica. You can find my classes at Mrs. Cog's Classroom here: mrscogs-classroom.teachable.com/
Thank you.....I ended up Googling it, after "teachables. com" with an s, returned a bad site. I really have enjoyed watching your videos, and am on your etsy shop right now too! Love those vintage images!
Hi Mrs. Cog, thank you for chit-chatting (Australia)
Exciting news all the way around! I would love to see a tutorial on how you set up and print your pages with the "stamped look" images. They are always so perfectly placed! Looking forward to seeing your tutorials and teachables classes.
Thank you Heather! I am excited too! Exploding with ideas, I just need more hours in the week lol. Big hugs! :-)
Hello Heather
Hi Mrs Cog I watch your videos whilst creating my own journals and I Love Love Love having you for company I have laces soaking whilst I have a coffee and spend time with you again What a super way to spend a Sunday afternoon . .~ Nikki xxx
It's so nice to see you do a tutorial and hear your voice!! I enjoyed this video!
Enjoyed watching! 😊
Thank you Ann. :-)
Hi Ann
Your very easy to listen to. Thank you for your ideas and thoughts.
I enjoyed the chit-chat and I look forward to future tutorials from you, Liz! It was nice to have a voice to connect with your face. ;) We re-ink the same way and have the same go-to distress color. TFS xo
Thanks so much Marilou! "Great minds ink alike!" Hahaha. Hugs!! :-)
lolol
Hello 👋
So nice to hear and see you! Loved the chat and the news. Looking forward to seeing your new endeavours! TFS
Hello Janie
I loved listening to you "gab" and it was a pleasure to join you for a cup of tea. It's wonderful of you to share so much with us xxx K
Can’t wait for your tutorial(s) about formatting, fonts and maybe recommendations on printers. I am always waiting impatiently for your next journal. Thanks!
Thank you very much Joy!! I have these tutorials in the works. As far as printers, I use an HP black & white laser printer for quotes and digi stamps onto paper before I tea dye them. For images, I have a wonderful new ink jet, the Canon Pixma Pro-100 and I'm not sure how I ever got by without it before. :-)
New to your channel. Your voice is so calm and relaxing, enjoying my Sunday morning coffee with you. 😊
Hello how are you doing my friend
OMG ! I am so glad I got to see what you look like and hear you voice instead of just seeing your beautiful journals as the stars of the show lol Don't get wrong, I enjoy seeing them too, seeing my fellow Barry fan is a real treat !! :-) ;-) Teachables? OMG! I can't wait to take a class with you the Grandma of all journal crafting lol I have 2 cats Lola and Judy . (you know who I named Lola after ) ;-)
"Looks like we maaaade it..." lol. Thanks so much Marianna. Hugs! :-)
Hahahahaha ;-) If you have ever seen him concert OMG when he sings that song --- He ... Oh gosh,, sorry.... This a family youtube channel hahahhaha .. You know what I mean ;-) Dont ya??? LOL Oh dear God I better get out of here while the getting's good :-)
Thank you so much for your plans to share even more of you with us. I so look forward to your tutorials!!! Wow, it's exciting!
Hello Helen

Thank you so much Barbara. Hugs!
Hi Barbara
Love the gnomes and the chat. Looking forword to doing it again.
Aw thanks Donna! Me too! :-)
Hello Donna
Have a blessed day. 🙏🏻❤️💯
Hello Mary
Thanks Elizabeth ☺ for this Tutorial 💚 hugs Ellen
Thank you Ellen! Big hugs to you too. ❤️
Just found your channel through Charlean Sherrod, and so glad I did! You create beautiful pieces 🌺 Elizabeth
Welcome Elizabeth, glad you are here and thank you very much! :-)
The ink refills are great. Lol, yesterday I watched your sewing video and saw your magnetic dohicky. Many years ago I had the little sewing magnetic thing for pins. Well, I dropped your video and went right out and purchased one. Mine is a rectangle one. I used to love my old one, especially for tweezers. I used to go through tweezers like crazy, I would lose them everywhere and I just loved that thing! I never lost my tweezers again. I think I am going to go out today and purchase a second one to keep at my sewing table. Thanks for all the great tips. 💙💚❤️
I enjoyed the video and chat, tfs. 💞💫
Nice work
Hello Mary
Hello sweetheart Elizabeth Mrs . some ink in my tea and coffee when doing special things I come out with a beautiful color much love Denina ♥️👍 👍
I love your planner! I’m a gnome fanatic and the other day at hobby lobby I got the cutest gnome stamp on clearance. I also have a German children’s book about gnomes that I’ve been hoarding for ages. I used a few of the pages, begrudgingly in my winter TNs. 🤣
I really enjoyed your video! Tfs 💜💜
Dolly, you are a big inspiration behind my decision to use gnomes (and my hoarded picture book ilustrations of them) in my upcoming journals. You also were my deciding factor to invest more heavily in botanical forest ink stamps. I loved your winter TN's. Thanks so much for all the wonderful sharing you do! Hugs!! :-)
Oh my gosh! I’m flattered!! Thank you 💜💜
Such exciting news! Glad you will be doing some lessons on teachable and I always enjoy your videos! Love to watch you art! TFS!
❤️💕🌸😍👌❤️
I’m a newbie so this might be something that seasoned crafters no or do but this was very informative to me so I thank you! Your voice is so familiar too makes it so much more enjoyable 😊😊
Hi Liz. I had just started drinking a cup of tea when this video popped up. Who can figure? Great video and enjoyed listening to you. I have taken two courses through Teachables and it will be a great forum for anything that you offer. Can't wait!
Thanks for joining me Sue! I really appreciate all your encouragement and support. Hugs! :-)
Awesome
Hi Elizabeth, I’ve been loving your journals on jjj for quite a while now and I love all of your journals!!!!
Now I’ve found you, I have subscribed. Thankyou for the chat, and I’m so looking fwd to your giveaway if I haven’t missed it,,,
Also now I’ve found you, I can look back through your videos.
Can’t wait for your teaching venture to start !!! Bless you 😊
Thanks so much Tina! :-)
Thank you for the talk
Thanks for stopping by Mary. :-)
Hello Mary
Just found you yesterday and really enjoyed your videos so far😉, new subscribers 😊❤️
So excited that you’re going to be available on teachable! Love hearing your voice, you’re a natural my sweet friend! Congratulations! 🎈🎉🎊 ❤️
Thank you so much Wendy dear! Stepping up the the video camera seems a bit odd for this hermit but Cog says I'm coming along nicely lol. Big Hugs!! ❤️
Mrs Cog you’re doing beautifully ❤️❤️
Xo
Oh my! I love your planner. I love gnomes and green is my favorite color. Very inspirational.
Love the image of that gnome with a deer...is it a digital that you have or was it from a book?
Lisa...I am pretty sure that image is by Rien Poortvliet. I'm not sure which book but I think the character's name is "David the Gnome" :) Mrs. Cog does have a gnome set in her Etsy shop...not these images...but they are just as adorable :)
@@shadowgirl815 thank you. I do have Mrs Cogs gnomes and fairies, as well.🧚♀️
Yes, the gnome images are from the books Gnomes and Secret of Gnomes by Wil Huygen. They are very expensive new, but if you search and watch eBay you can often find them for $10 or less. :-)
@@MrsCog oh my, I actually have that book, but I wouldn't cut it up. I will have to look for a used one. Thank you❤ PS I absolutely love your work and appreciate your videos and your shop. I just found out about the "Junk Journal" world last summer. I love everything about this craft.
Love your journals! Can’t wait for your teachable classes
ty
I am using the same distress ink colour. It is my favourite.
Great video!! Thanks for sharing how you do things.....many people would not. I am looking forward to all the new things you have coming up!!
Thank you Amelia dear. I always enjoy coffee or tea with you. :-)
It's always great to meet the maker of these creations. Omg! Teachable!!!! Can't wait for a class. It's the little things like you showed today that are important. When I get your journals I visually tear it apart looking and wondering how you do things. I would love to see a series on how you put a journal together from start to finish. Learning the techniques from the masters should help inspire others to use those techniques to create their "OWN" style. Sometimes not knowing how to do things, stops others from becoming masters in their own right. Thanks Liz for this little snip it into Mrs. Cog's world.💕💕
CJ, aside from being extremely grateful to you for all your support and kind words, your feedback is so valued. I had to laugh when you said "learning from the masters" lol... like how to stop sewing the band-aid on my finger to the button I just stitched on the tab?? LOL Or how to get Fabri-tac glue off the cat? Hahaha When I'm a bit more at ease making videos, maybe I'll do a "Cautionary Tales for Crafters" video. Big Hugs!!! :-)
Loved having my coffee with you this morning. Looking forward to more videos. Hoping to get over my fear of just getting started. Sometimes seeing your work brings tears to my eyes, but for all the right reasons.
That's so sweet Patte, thank you. Just dive in! In truth, when I make a mistake, often what I do to alter that or modify the original plan becomes better than it would have been if it was done perfectly. The joy is in the doing and creating. :-)
Love your channel and your projects are awesome. Have some of the printables and enjoy a lot. Manny blessings!!!!!!!
Thank you very much Sylvia! Hugs! :-)
❤
Lovely to see and hear you at last! Looking forward to your upcoming tutorials. When you do your coffee dyeing tutorial, please will you explain something that I haven't been able to find anywhere: that is, how to coffee/tea-dye envelopes and pockets etc., without the front sticking to the back. Many thanks for all the inspiration you share.
Thank you Diane. In all honesty, I haven't tried tea dyeing envelopes. I have only made small ones from paper already tea dyed. But it's an excellent question. :-)
I really love your video, thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
Thanks so much for all your support Charlean! Big hug!! :-)
