I've been upcyling some things but my family have been very negative about them, saying no one is going to buy my old crap. I threw them in the bin, because I was so upset. But watching you, gives me more confidence to carry on.
Okay, huge observation. You have some of the most important (in my opinion) traits for crafting. You love to upcycle, you're cost conscious, you're talented, and overwhelmingly patient. Your patience in developing your projects and your patience in responding to comments. You just seem to be a really neat and very kind lady. I'm learning more than crafting techniques from you and I'm grateful. Kudos. Continued blessings, dear.
The glass jar with the hole in the bottom is a fly trap. Flys can crawl in any direction but can only fly in straight lines. A mixture of borax, sugar or honey and water is pored into the gully at the bottom of the jar. When the flies land usually at the bottom opening after the luring smell of the water and honey they crawl in and drink the sweet poisonous borax water where they become trapped and can’t fly up or down to escape. It works quite well.
I REALLY like that you do so many projects!! I also love that you give plenty of instructions and product details but move at a speed so that the viewer does not lose interest.
No, wouldn't that be lovely!!! we would sing all the way home. For those that are a lot younger than me, that was a song Julie Andrews sang I think in the Sound of Music, but it could be Mary Poppins. Anyway, it is a lovely old song and I just could not help but attach it to your response Donna.... hope you don't mind.@@donnabrasher3303
The salt and pepper shakers would be cute with bride and groom photos at the head table or as placecard holders with family/guest pix for each person at a dinner.
I love when you do the multicoloured chippy paint. I haven’t tried it yet. I need to thrift the right thing to paint up. I think the glass bee hive thing is a wasp catcher.
I don't know how in the world you come up with all of these great ideas in each and every video? (This is just a rhetorical question.) I'm just amazed.
You really have a great imagination,very talented, I just love what you do, my brain and imagination Doesn’t work so well any more, I think it’s just wonderful, your amazing at what you do, I just love the the lamp you did with the fringe, and I really love the wild flowers with the gorgeous frame,so Gorgeous. I just praise your work enough. Everything is gorgeous, Love your work and imagination. Bet your brain works 24 hours a day. Do you sleep well, just kidding, sometimes I wake up at night,grab a piece of paper and start drawing or writing down an idea. I have enjoyed Watching your video so much. Did you say you sell your words ? I’d love to buy a bag full. Looking Forward to watching more from you. Thanks for a wonderful video, Have a Wonderful eventful Weekend. ♥️♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Watched all of this nearly 3hrs long, and thoroughly enjoyed all of it. You did some great creations and have given me some wonderful ideas and techniques to try, so thank you for doing this video, it's proven to be a great help to me. 🥰🇬🇧🐾🐾💖
Thanks for the inspiration. I turned a dead tree into garden markers with your transfer technique using polyacrylic. I had a blast. They turned out great
I'm so amazed by all of your knowledge, techniques, and insight! You're great with your tutorials, too! I enjoy watching you so much! It's obvious that what you do brings you much joy!
Hi Yolanda! I love your videos and wonderful ideas for arts and crafts❤ Your style is so calm and precise, when you tell, what you are doing in the video. I also found your recipe for the "Most perfekti porcellain dough"💖 I'll truly make these napkin holders and put my old sheets in good use. Thank you so much🍏💚 Greetings from🇫🇮
I would love to say which one is my favorite, but I just can’t do that! That’s because you’ve absolutely made picking just one totally impossible! Soooo many wonderful ideas! You are truly talented & extremely creative! God has blessed you & now you’re blessing all of us by sharing! I can hardly wait to make a bunch of these! Thank you!! 😊
You’re so talented and your ideas are so creative! I liked all the crafts you did but my favorite was the framed “wildflower” saying! I feel encouraged! You’ve made it seem as though even I could do them! Thanks for sharing. God bless you and yours!!
I have a shelf full of old candle jars, candle holders, mason jars and i've been trying to figure out what to do with the. I watched your mason jar video yesterday, I'm so excited to turn them all into something new. Going to sit down tonight and watch your videos. Love this channel so much : )

I think the younger as in millennial generation has more inner strength. They are faced with different emotional challenges and some that are timeless. I see them like emotional suffragettes. They will speak up for themselves. This is not a blanket statement because mental health is not one size fits all. I do admire their strength And as a older woman I wish that that spark had been planted in me.
They are whiners who think no one ever experienced challenges before them. They’ve been handed everything by two income parents for far too long! Thanks to working moms.
I love the lighter one. That is so neat. People love stuff for and about their pets, no matter what their pets are.❤️ That is some of the ugliest paper I’ve ever seen.
LOL My grater is already Rusty as It is the first one I Bought ,well in the 70s .I also have the first Flour sifter that I bought way back when .My first Rolling pin was a Bottle ,A Fifth of Vodka LOL ....at the time couldnt aford a Rolling pin so my mother in law gave me the Idea to use a bottle. It worked . Now we can find them for around a dollar at flea markets and such.
I love it… Grow Damnit. I had a banana tree just like that. Can’t find it so I used a paper towel holder and some s hooks and made one. Lamp looks 1000 times better.
Would love to know how you price the items you upcycle! I know that prices very depending on where you are at, but it would be a good guide to go by if you could give some examples of what you price things at 😊
Darling, creative and sweet lady! Love your channel - but frankly I cannot input almost 3 hrs at a time. Suggest biting them up say like 4-5 ideas at a time. Believe you would get many many many more hits......LOVE YOUR CREATIVITY! THANK YOU FOR SHARING! YOU ARE AWESOME!

Hi🎉
New to your channel. Would the stone type spray paints work on the salt and pepper shakers (maybe with a little dirt thrown in)?
Yes, it sure would. I have used that type of spray paint before but it is very pricey.
The jewelry box would make a cute Barbie doll clothes dresser
Oh yes!!
