My husband said “why would you watch someone clean? What? A treehouse?” I said “this fabulous woman is comfort watching.” He looked at me like I was insane.
She's like the new Mr. Rogers. Calm and soothing. No hurries, no worries, just do your best and be happy with it. And spread love and kindness and acceptance wherever she goes.
I had this video playing and paused when our grandson came to visit today. He is just over 2 years old, and asked, "Who's that Grandma?" I said, "That's Kate!" He picked up my tablet, hugged it with a contented sigh, and said, "My Grandma, Kate". And kissed the screen. So, Our Dear Kate, you are now an honorary Grandma as well as an official one. Happy Mother's Day to all US members of the LHH community!
Sitting here on the Lime Green Sofa watching Kate clean and darn while I‘m folding my laundry and doing some mending of my own: What better way to spend a lovely Sunday evening? Have a lovely time everyone!
As I watched, I was thinking of a lovely warm summer day and a good book, lying on the bed. Don't think it would be long before it's be napping, too! 😄
I keep coming back to this video. It's my way of doing armchair travels (ah, of course I mean limegreen sofa travels) Thank you so much for sharing, Kate. This tree house is the stuff of my daydreams 🥰🌻
Well, 'darn it'! So envious of your beautiful tree house. Your lime green sofa does stretch everywhere. It even reaches August Bank Holiday Island. It can be found between Easter Island and Christmas Island (ha ha). All the best.
I think your tree house is extra special. My grandfather darned his socks and actually he knit his own socks. He was a farmer with a horse and plow and 50 milking holstein cows. As children we would ride one of his old friendly cows. Your life is so endearing. Thank you. I look forward to your videos.. ps I live in Wisconsin, USA....
When I was at primary school, many many years ago, our teacher Miss Arnold would get us to knit beautiful squares of Navy or grey wool. Bright Wools were not available then. She would then cut a hole in our knitted square, and we would learn to darn the hole, I loved it then and I still love darning now , it was a great skill to learned , I've darned clothes, toys , car seats, you name it I've darned. Happy memories 💜
Kate who made your lovely tree house I love the door and all the very cute things about it, I bet your kid loved it I can imagine them sleeping in it. Thank you for another great video. Xx
Yesterday my cat Purl caught a squirrel 🐿 and brought it into my open door to my house. I tried to get them both outside, but instead the squirrel got loose in my house. Thankfully my son and his girlfriend caught the squirrel and relocated it to a nice tree outside. Cats 🐈 we do love them.
I had a cat catch a baby squirrel once! It took a bit for Thomas’s jaws to be dislodged from that poor squirrel. The squirrel escaped into a birdhouse, panic stricken! Thomas was taken inside! After a few hours, checking on baby squirrel every half hour, we discovered he’d left the bird house. So, Thomas was free to roam outside again. I’ve always had cats.
It's too bad you weren't able to video that mayhem! I'm sure that it would have been very funny to watch later. One of those " Do you remember?" Moments. Take care and I'm happy that the squirrel survived. Take care!
You are such a busy lady. Tree house is a dream for me. I’ve always wanted a tree house. At 62 if I had the trees I’d have a trees house built. 😍 Sadie found her mom.
My mother was a great darner. I remember as a teenager in the early seventies when tights were expensive she darned a run that must have been a foot long!! Somebody remarked and wondered what the scar was on my leg,😂. I had to darn for my family to keep clothes going and pass them from child to child as well for my husband with his service uniform. It is like patchwork, very satisfying. Love the curtains.
A dear lady from out sewing group passed..she asked us to distribute her sewing/craft things...10 of us divided up yarn, cross-stitch, embroidery and fabrics...it is amazing how many things we accumulate...I’m guilty also but this was an eye opener..I need to get busy. If your bed is In couch mode you may have more room to spin...we would all love a tree house
yes - I have thought the same - because I'll need to sit at the right height ..... hmmm Plan B ... also more space for baskets of fibre. May have to nap in the house after all? xxx enjoy your sewing projects! xx
I’m with you about hair flopping around! I either whine at my niece (who used to be a hairdresser) and ask her for a cut, or I haul out my scissors and my old dog clippers and have a go myself...after all, it’s only hair! (I had chemo years ago and was bald for a while, so now I don’t really care - I don’t see it, so how I look is not really my problem!)
Yes Exactly, its only hair, years ago when my mum had her hair shaved off for chemo, rather then waiting for it to fall out, I did the same to mine, it made mum cry but it made her understand its only hair.
I have long hair - to the small of my back if I straighten the waves and curls (I don't use a straightener, just a brush) and am soooo ready to get it cut! When I was a child my mom got tired of trying to take my thick wavy/curly hair (I mean, I'm the youngest of 8 so I don't blame her) and she kept it cut short. Being a bit of a tomboy, I was asked more than once if I was "a boy or a girl" and got bullied a lot. I swore that as an adult I'd never have short hair... but I'm 51 now, I'm tired of all this hair and the literal headache of keeping it pulled back... I know it's only hair, but while I want it gone I'm also nervous about getting it cut. Perhaps I should go in stages - start at shoulder length and go shorter in bits? I admire the courage and strength of you ladies. Thank you for sharing your words. Be well. 💚
@@083purplecola When I was much younger my hair was very long and it although it was fairly fine, it was really thick, so I totally know about hair-induced headaches. As soon as I could, I got it cut off and kept it relatively short through high school. After that it was as short as I could get it apart from shaving my head.
Ms. Agnes, This little house would be a "she shed" for me.Also, my three grandsons would be very frequent visitors .Oh the fun we would have..Thank you so much for sharing..🌷🌷🌷💕💕💕💕
Hello Kate. I’m a Newby to your channel and am getting through your older posts. Thanks for sharing your Mum’s quilts with all of us on the line green sofa 🥰You asked how l discovered your site. l watch Missouri Star Quilts and Lori Holt and a few knitting channels. Your wonderful smiling face popped up and the name The Last Homely House was intriguing so l went exploring with you. Since then I watch you every day. I too have a lovely big garden, chickens and thanks to Eileen I’m also getting a goose. You inspired me to clean out and sort my fabric and gussy up my sewing loft. Please don’t ever change the format of your videos. They are enchanting. I hope you enjoy the sites l recommended. ❤️🌸🌺
Oh my gosh! I absolutely love the use of the old silverware used to hold the curtain poles and shelving. How cute is that! Thank you Kate for a lovely afternoon in the tree house. :)
Such a fun and fascinating tree house. Lovely bits of architectural pieces give a fairy tale quality. If only we could do all that cleaning in 30 minutes I believe I would clean more often. Thank you for bringing us along.
There is a place where you can rest. Sleep the day away among the memories of colors and having done. Come sit. She'll tell you stories. Tea and comfort. So much more behind her words. The Majical Hippie Tree House East of the Sea. Thankyou😌
You are a pleasure. And now a guilty one! My daughter traveled to celebrate Mother’s Day with me. She brought ingredients for a Duck a la Orange brunch, which she prepared to perfection. Midway the cooking I glanced at the clock, wondering if Kate had dropped her Sunday episode yet. Daughter and dessert are done, and I make a Beeline to the Green Couch. Guilty, but a pleasurable way to cap a lovely day.
Hello Kate it's 8.35 am 10/5 Monday in Wellington NZ .Temp 17c rainy. whenever you mention the lime green couch, I often wonder how many of us are sitting there enjoying the tea ,biccies and chatting. What a lovely time I have connecting with fellow crafters. Thankyou so much for sharing your space with us xxcc
I love hearing a hello to New Zealand. And the best thing about your videos is they are like spending some time chatting with a good friend. That’s something I don’t have the luxury of as my best friend/craft/art/sewing buddy is in England.
A big wave from Iowa, USA! I so enjoyed my time today on the lime green sofa with everyone. Happy Mothers Day to all that celebrate it today. Have a Wonderful week Kate and everyone!
I remember my mum turning dad's shirt collars and darning the family socks in front of the fire. She got so lost in it she'd not realise her legs were near to roasting! Never thought mending would be something I enjoy .I do, very much but couldn't darn without my darning mushroom. I also mend my jumper cuffs with fabric. So I'll join you on the lgs, not so far away over the border in Dumfries & Galloway, and perhaps swap stitchy stories:) Thanks again for a relaxing Sunday evening Kate xg
I love your mom’s pinwheel quilt. I would love to see it on the wall behind the sofa. It’s so bright and pretty. There’s something mysterious that captures my childhood heart about a tree house.
I'm 75 and I remember my mom darning socks and putting a used light umbrella inside for support....I'm sitting hee on the lime green couch on Canada's birthday ...July 1st
oh yes, now Agnes came come and play in the treehouse without fear of dust, dirt or spiders. All 3 of those quilts are pretty and I don't know any little girls who wouldn't just love them! It's past my bedtime; 10.26 pm Pacific time. It has been a lovely day and I got to see my 2 grands - although they are quite grown; 11 & 15 and both advance to the next age in September. Anyway, it was a super special day of visiting with my daughter, her husband and the kids of course. The younger one is acting in commercials and saving her money for things. She announced today that she wants to take an elective class called Social Justice and Leadership. I'm so proud. Have a lovely Monday, Kate. Goodnight from Southern California.
Watching you darn reminds me of my dear mother, who spent evenings daring the family's clothing while watching TV. I have inherited her thimbles but, sadly, not her darning skills.
I agree with the comments made by others on the sofa! Everything about the little treehouse is magical! Thank you for inviting us in and sharing it with us.
And me in south africa. I can't wait for sunday evenings. We are an hour ahead of you so by the time you come on we have had dinner and cleaned up the kitchen I can watch with no interruptions. I love all you do creativeness and positiveness. Just what I need. See you next week.
Hi Kate...you have there a truly magical little tree house fit for a fairy godmother! LOOOOOOVE the curtain rail supports......and the whimsical block printed curtains hung from them.
Thank you Kate for showing us your tree house. What a wonderful place to sit and relax with a cup of tea and project you are working on. I love all your quilts and am happy you put all of them on your bed. The one your mom made is a very special keepsake! Yesterday was Mother’s Day in Canada! Specials memories! 💕
I'm sitting on the lime green sofa binding the quilt I made for my new daughter-in-law for her birthday next week. I'm sorry I didn't lend a hand when you could have used one lifting the mattresses, but I had a cat of my own on my lap and he looked so comfortable I didn't want to move him. I thoroughly enjoy sitting and chatting with you.
Monday morning here down under,husband's socks waiting to be mended and also off to hairdresser thismorning. Always get up early on a Monday to watch you Kate before the other inhabitants of the household begin to move. Just sipping my coffee, in my special arm chair thats attatched to the lime green sofa. Grey skies with only a small splash of orange at sunrise. Blessings from Australia.
Hi Kate and everyone! My first time on the LGS enjoying watching, listening and trying my hand at a micro mini quilt with a good beer by my feet. This is also my first time trying a micro mini and let’s just say it takes a good sense of humor to do it!
Hours later and a very wonderful time spent with my husbands 104 year old Mom who still lives in her own apartment. Hope you all have a lovely Mother’s Day.
Bed In the tree house is what we did in our travel trailer. Over the water tanks. Very functional and comfortable. Enjoyed your video and glad you are feeling better 🥰
Lovely to see you again as always. Oh I LOVE your tree-house and could just imagine curling up there drowsily reading a good book. Agnes will love it and will remember her time spent there with you for always.
😆 Watching Sadie's tail scooting around and seeing her whiskers peek in the camera... adorable and hilarious. 💗 Also- I LOVE that Indian fabric and the Spoon brackets are genius! Happy Mother's Day from America, Kate! 💖
Then we all must be insane. Kate’s calming voice and chatting away, just as though we are there on her sofa is what I need right now. I’m a subscriber and now a patron, too! I love it.
Hello Kate 🤚🏻 I don’t think I’ve ever seen your super quaint treehouse; love it! I can only imagine how magical the treehouse and grandma together is for little Agnus must be, how special! My mom was a costumer and she taught me how to hand stitch and it does take concentration so, I understand that talking and darning don’t blend well for me, either. Passing some pretzels down the LGS as others watch and enjoy your videos. Be well.🥰
Your treehouse is just the most charming place ever. It will be a great setup for your spinning wheel. Thank you for sharing a bit of heaven with us again.
Hi Kate, I’m watching this 2yrs too late. You just mentioned the folks in New Zealand are getting ready for autumn and that they will have snow in July. It reminded me of a saying in my husband’s family: “it snows but never in July.” It is a reference to when Krakatoa blew its stack back in the 18 hundreds and afterward it snowed in every month but July. Must have been awful - not much garden that year.
Kate, I really enjoyed seeing the inside of your tree house again. I was wishing I was there to help you. I love how you've painted it your green and pinks! I always enjoy seeing your new quilts hanging on the balcony and now I enjoyed the quilt "show and tell" of older ones. I have some my Mom made also. They are treasures! Thanks, as always, for sharing.
Oh Kate, how lucky you are to have the tree house and the knowledge to repair and make new, all the things. I was comfortable on the lime green sofa, but I think I could live in the tree house. What a blessing it has been for me to find you. I have truly enjoyed hanging out with you. God bless you for the joy you share with us. ❤️
Isn’t it a joy just to play with your grandchildren, I have set up a little area in my living room with a little kitchen set and we have so much fun playing tea party, reading books and doing puzzles, it’s a wonderfully perfect way to spend a day❤️
Lovely to have a special mention to New Zealand 🇳🇿 Kate. You and Agnes are going to make beautiful special forever memories in that adorable tree house.💐
Oh Kate that tree house is absolutely magnificent!! So quirky and precious all in one.. I'm not surprised you like tootling off for a nap up there...fabulous having the sun shine in and just laying down getting comfortable...priceless! I have a potting shed i made in to my little sanctuary 😊..its a very strong structure so I have hanging hammock seats from the roof & a big cable reel as a table, lots of fairy lights,a little heater,sewing & knitting projects..its just fabulous, I felt your urghhh what have I started when you were getting out the rugs from under the futon 😆..have you got electricity in the tree house? Just thinking how beautiful a little teapot & cup& saucer set would look wonderful if you could pop on a cuppa,😊 but saying that I don't have electricity in my shed but I have beverage facilities haha, I transformed a old camp stove & made a shelf to pop them on. Although the house is only 20ft away mind 😁 its lovely to sit in when its raining aswell as it has so many windows it resembles being in a car wash lol...great vlog and looking forward to the spinning wheel 😀 have a great week & invites being passed along the lgs for my puppas birthday party sat folks 🙂...cake & lemonade a plenty 🐾🍋🎂🍰🧋x
Lovely video Kate! Agnes will have so much fun with you in the treehouse and I was excited to see your spinner going up into the treehouse. Take care everyone!
Forgive the late comment, but I'm new to the lime green sofa :) My dear mum passed a little while ago and having just found Kate, I am having a moment. Kate, your presence is so wonderfully comforting and soothing. I hope you don't mind if I make you my honorary mum for a while. Thank you through tears. And I love your darning.
I am sitting here doing some sewing and watching and listening to you Kate. Even I think it's funny that I like to listen to someone talk about their darning and watch them clean but I have always loved watching others work. It is so relaxing.
Kate, I think I could watch you watching paint dry and I would be content! You always bring such a sense of calm to me. I also received your wonderful tea towels. They are even lovelier in person. Thanks for bringing so much peace into my life!
Such a lovely place😍 for all kinds of activities...darning...reading...weaving...painting...meditating...playing....oh the possibilities are endless...😉 Thank you 🙏 for sharing💜
I’ve said to you several times, “Tell us about the treehouse, please.” I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I would like to know the story behind how it was built.
My sister and I watched this yesterday and we loved it! Inside reminds me of the little cottage Rudolph and his friends stayed in on the cartoon show Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Love the curtains and curtain hardware! Of course we always enjoy a cat visit! I love your hair too. Thank you. We look forward to your videos.
That was wonderful Kate. I hate darning...had to do it to get a darning badge when I was in the Brownies, eons ago. My sister, who doesn’t enjoy any craft apart from knitting, loves doing mending! Takes all kinds, as they say. I was wondering where your furry felines were, but then Sadie turned up. She has quite vicious claws😩 Love your treehouse. Reminds me of the little hut on a farm, where I went to Girl Guides. My group decorated the room with all little bits and pieces. We only went to Guides once a month, going to the leader’s farm on an old rail motor. We’d spend the whole day, doing all kinds of “Guide” things. Even digging our own latrine! You’ve rekindled so many memories, of when I was young and nimble and full of hope for the future. Thanks for your lovely chat today. ❤️🇦🇺
I do hope you have had a nice cosy nap in the tree house since cleaning it and washing the bed sheets etc you certainly deserve to after all that work . At age 61 I know I would love having some Nanny naps in there ... I have six grandchildren now so sometimes a nice nap is needed 😊 Thankyou for this lovely vlog Kate x
Hi Kate , my fav things are my family , cheese & apple sandwiches but my most fav thing would be kindness & warmth and watching your videos has inspired me again - your clips are so beautiful & so inspiring it has renewed my love for simple things in life ; thank you for renewing my fav things as in this harsh world sometimes or often it is hard to remember qualifies our mums instilled in us ; kindness &. polite manners …. Thank you again 🌺🦋😀🍀
I managed to close the gate into the garden before she found it - that would have been a runaround and no mistake! ha ha! I'm waiting for 2 two things - a sunny day and someone to photograph the quilt before I can send it! ha ha! not managed both together! xxxx
@@thelasthomelyhouse That silly ol' goose! Her side eye looks crack me up. She's a mischievous one, that Battle Goode(tm) lol. And NO WORRIES on the quilt!!! I'm not even remotely upset or worried, hehe. Much like a wizard, the quilt shall happen precisely when it means to!! lol.
Agnes will remember the special tree house. One shouldn't be surprised how young a child is remembering special places and or activities. I do. I remember. I am sure Agnes will as well. Have a wonderful rest of your evening.
I have just found Kate...my mum taught me to sew too in the North of England.... I always have my sewing where ever I live in the world.. at the moment it's ILO Peru.. now I am part of your green sofa
Kate, tell us more about the tree house, I don't remember you telling us how it came about? Agnes is so lucky to have you as her grand mum. I think it would be great for a nap or shortgetaway!
My husband said “why would you watch someone clean? What? A treehouse?” I said “this fabulous woman is comfort watching.” He looked at me like I was insane.
You see thats the difference between men & women...we just know quality when we see it...men on the other hand have just no clue 😊
She sure is!
She's like the new Mr. Rogers. Calm and soothing. No hurries, no worries, just do your best and be happy with it. And spread love and kindness and acceptance wherever she goes.
What fabulous comments. Couldn’t have said it better!
I'll never forget what a comfort her videos were during those early days of the pandemic. I was in such a state of anxiety I could hardly function.
I had this video playing and paused when our grandson came to visit today. He is just over 2 years old, and asked, "Who's that Grandma?" I said, "That's Kate!" He picked up my tablet, hugged it with a contented sigh, and said, "My Grandma, Kate". And kissed the screen. So, Our Dear Kate, you are now an honorary Grandma as well as an official one.
Happy Mother's Day to all US members of the LHH community!
That is so sweet. Special too
oh! that is lovely - very happy to have some extra grandkids! xxx
Hello Amy that’s such a lovely story. Thanks for sharing
He really is such a sweet and loving little boy, kind and sensitive, compassionate already. Just like his daddy (our son). We are so blessed!

I love this comment - it sums up how ordinary our lives are and how that is perfectly wonderful! xxx Thank you xxx
No wonder Agnes is so enamoured of the Tree House...it's simply magical! Like something out of a story book : )
Don't you wish you were Agnes so Kate could be your Grandmother????
That sounds wonderful! The only problem is that I'm older than she is.....sigh!
I agree!
As I watched, I was thinking of a lovely warm summer day and a good book, lying on the bed. Don't think it would be long before it's be napping, too! 😄
Kate, don't forget to take some color books and crayons out too. My grandaughter and I colored many many pictures. So enjoyable to color together.
Your treehouse is like a little fairytale house. I’m sure that Agnes will spend many happy hours there!
I keep coming back to this video. It's my way of doing armchair travels (ah, of course I mean limegreen sofa travels) Thank you so much for sharing, Kate. This tree house is the stuff of my daydreams 🥰🌻

I love hearing a hello to New Zealand. And the best thing about your videos is they are like spending some time chatting with a good friend. That’s something I don’t have the luxury of as my best friend/craft/art/sewing buddy is in England.
Everyone needs a nice comfy place for a cat nap. Your tree house is right out of a story book. Thanks for the chat.
A big wave from Iowa, USA! I so enjoyed my time today on the lime green sofa with everyone. Happy Mothers Day to all that celebrate it today. Have a Wonderful week Kate and everyone!
Carrot cake on its way down the sofa..🍰😊
Happy Mother’s Day from Pennsylvania.🖐
Happy Mother’s Day to you as well . Nice to meet you on the lime green couch. Passing some chocolate macaroons., enjoy
Hello from Lost City, Oklahoma! Happy Moms Day!
Happy Mother's Day to all those celebrating today, and a big "Hello" from Ohio, USA! Thank you, dear Kate for sharing your simple, happy life with us.
I remember my mum turning dad's shirt collars and darning the family socks in front of the fire. She got so lost in it she'd not realise her legs were near to roasting! Never thought mending would be something I enjoy .I do, very much but couldn't darn without my darning mushroom. I also mend my jumper cuffs with fabric. So I'll join you on the lgs, not so far away over the border in Dumfries & Galloway, and perhaps swap stitchy stories:) Thanks again for a relaxing Sunday evening Kate xg
I love your mom’s pinwheel quilt. I would love to see it on the wall behind the sofa. It’s so bright and pretty. There’s something mysterious that captures my childhood heart about a tree house.
I agree! I love it too. I'm so fond of pinwheel blocks
I agree and it's so beautifully built with its windows and curtains. I think we all would like one just like that!
Would be lovely and a wonderful way for Agnes to know a bit about her great grandma.
I adore that pinwheel quilt too!
Hi Kate, love your tree house with all the needlework trimmings, I hope you and Agnes have many happy hours together,
I'm 75 and I remember my mom darning socks and putting a used light umbrella inside for support....I'm sitting hee on the lime green couch on Canada's birthday ...July 1st
oh yes, now Agnes came come and play in the treehouse without fear of dust, dirt or spiders. All 3 of those quilts are pretty and I don't know any little girls who wouldn't just love them! It's past my bedtime; 10.26 pm Pacific time. It has been a lovely day and I got to see my 2 grands - although they are quite grown; 11 & 15 and both advance to the next age in September. Anyway, it was a super special day of visiting with my daughter, her husband and the kids of course. The younger one is acting in commercials and saving her money for things. She announced today that she wants to take an elective class called Social Justice and Leadership. I'm so proud. Have a lovely Monday, Kate. Goodnight from Southern California.
Watching you darn reminds me of my dear mother, who spent evenings daring the family's clothing while watching TV. I have inherited her thimbles but, sadly, not her darning skills.
I agree with the comments made by others on the sofa! Everything about the little treehouse is magical! Thank you for inviting us in and sharing it with us.
And me in south africa. I can't wait for sunday evenings. We are an hour ahead of you so by the time you come on we have had dinner and cleaned up the kitchen I can watch with no interruptions. I love all you do creativeness and positiveness. Just what I need. See you next week.
Hi Kate...you have there a truly magical little tree house fit for a fairy godmother! LOOOOOOVE the curtain rail supports......and the whimsical block printed curtains hung from them.
Thank you Kate for showing us your tree house. What a wonderful place to sit and relax with a cup of tea and project you are working on. I love all your quilts and am happy you put all of them on your bed. The one your mom made is a very special keepsake! Yesterday was Mother’s Day in Canada! Specials memories! 💕
I'm sitting on the lime green sofa binding the quilt I made for my new daughter-in-law for her birthday next week. I'm sorry I didn't lend a hand when you could have used one lifting the mattresses, but I had a cat of my own on my lap and he looked so comfortable I didn't want to move him. I thoroughly enjoy sitting and chatting with you.
Monday morning here down under,husband's socks waiting to be mended and also off to hairdresser thismorning. Always get up early on a Monday to watch you Kate before the other inhabitants of the household begin to move. Just sipping my coffee, in my special arm chair thats attatched to the lime green sofa. Grey skies with only a small splash of orange at sunrise. Blessings from Australia.
Hi Kate and everyone! My first time on the LGS enjoying watching, listening and trying my hand at a micro mini quilt with a good beer by my feet. This is also my first time trying a micro mini and let’s just say it takes a good sense of humor to do it!
What a marvelous place for a child to visit. What special memories this will bring.
Hours later and a very wonderful time spent with my husbands 104 year old Mom who still lives in her own apartment. Hope you all have a lovely Mother’s Day.
Bed In the tree house is what we did in our travel trailer. Over the water tanks. Very functional and comfortable. Enjoyed your video and glad you are feeling better 🥰
Lovely to see you again as always. Oh I LOVE your tree-house and could just imagine curling up there drowsily reading a good book. Agnes will love it and will remember her time spent there with you for always.
😆 Watching Sadie's tail scooting around and seeing her whiskers peek in the camera... adorable and hilarious. 💗 Also- I LOVE that Indian fabric and the Spoon brackets are genius! Happy Mother's Day from America, Kate! 💖
Then we all must be insane. Kate’s calming voice and chatting away, just as though we are there on her sofa is what I need right now. I’m a subscriber and now a patron, too! I love it.
Hello from South Australia 🙋♀️ Sitting here on the lime green sofa crocheting myself a hat for our coming winter.
This is Texas, and we are dripping wet for a change. I'm seeing this in June, and it's just now letting up! Have a lovely day.
Hello Kate 🤚🏻 I don’t think I’ve ever seen your super quaint treehouse; love it! I can only imagine how magical the treehouse and grandma together is for little Agnus must be, how special! My mom was a costumer and she taught me how to hand stitch and it does take concentration so, I understand that talking and darning don’t blend well for me, either. Passing some pretzels down the LGS as others watch and enjoy your videos. Be well.🥰
Your treehouse is just the most charming place ever. It will be a great setup for your spinning wheel. Thank you for sharing a bit of heaven with us again.
I'm thinking I may have to change the bed back into a sofa though to make a little more space - there goes the napping! ha ha! xxx
When you said, "That's where those live" about your tapestry needles, I was delighted. I've did the same thing about objects for years!
Kate, I do believe you are a hippie after my own heart! What a magical place.
Hi Kate, I’m watching this 2yrs too late. You just mentioned the folks in New Zealand are getting ready for autumn and that they will have snow in July. It reminded me of a saying in my husband’s family: “it snows but never in July.” It is a reference to when Krakatoa blew its stack back in the 18 hundreds and afterward it snowed in every month but July. Must have been awful - not much garden that year.
Kate, I really enjoyed seeing the inside of your tree house again. I was wishing I was there to help you. I love how you've painted it your green and pinks! I always enjoy seeing your new quilts hanging on the balcony and now I enjoyed the quilt "show and tell" of older ones. I have some my Mom made also. They are treasures! Thanks, as always, for sharing.
Oh Kate, how lucky you are to have the tree house and the knowledge to repair and make new, all the things. I was comfortable on the lime green sofa, but I think I could live in the tree house. What a blessing it has been for me to find you. I have truly enjoyed hanging out with you. God bless you for the joy you share with us. ❤️
Well said, even though we see Kate on video, we would all drop everything if she needed help wouldn't we
Isn’t it a joy just to play with your grandchildren, I have set up a little area in my living room with a little kitchen set and we have so much fun playing tea party, reading books and doing puzzles, it’s a wonderfully perfect way to spend a day❤️
Don’t forget....it’s an honor to be on the Lime Green Sofa !!!!! And remember...there is always room!
Lovely to have a special mention to New Zealand 🇳🇿 Kate. You and Agnes are going to make beautiful special forever memories in that adorable tree house.💐
New Zealanders will ALWAYS get a special mention from me! the best two months of my life! xxx
I love the treehouse. The bent spoons are so perfect. I hope we get to see some spinning in the treehouse soon.
You can make the darned spot on your scarf the centre of a flower and embroider petals around from it so it becomes a piece of artwork on your scarf
Oh Kate that tree house is absolutely magnificent!! So quirky and precious all in one.. I'm not surprised you like tootling off for a nap up there...fabulous having the sun shine in and just laying down getting comfortable...priceless!
I have a potting shed i made in to my little sanctuary 😊..its a very strong structure so I have hanging hammock seats from the roof & a big cable reel as a table, lots of fairy lights,a little heater,sewing & knitting projects..its just fabulous, I felt your urghhh what have I started when you were getting out the rugs from under the futon 😆..have you got electricity in the tree house? Just thinking how beautiful a little teapot & cup& saucer set would look wonderful if you could pop on a cuppa,😊 but saying that I don't have electricity in my shed but I have beverage facilities haha, I transformed a old camp stove & made a shelf to pop them on. Although the house is only 20ft away mind 😁 its lovely to sit in when its raining aswell as it has so many windows it resembles being in a car wash lol...great vlog and looking forward to the spinning wheel 😀 have a great week & invites being passed along the lgs for my puppas birthday party sat folks 🙂...cake & lemonade a plenty 🐾🍋🎂🍰🧋x
The treehouse is so fabulous. I would spend a lot of time there. Plus the idea of darning is so great. I so appreciate the old ways of doing things.
Lovely video Kate! Agnes will have so much fun with you in the treehouse and I was excited to see your spinner going up into the treehouse. Take care everyone!
Hello, Kate!! I’ve noticed that “we” people tend to be very warm & inclusive people. ♥️🤗
Love your Tree House. What a lovely place to make memories with Agnes x
Happy Mother’s Day everyone at the LHH!
Forgive the late comment, but I'm new to the lime green sofa :) My dear mum passed a little while ago and having just found Kate, I am having a moment. Kate, your presence is so wonderfully comforting and soothing. I hope you don't mind if I make you my honorary mum for a while. Thank you through tears. And I love your darning.
Done little darning myself on thick socks that I LOVE so much... Waynesville NC USA 🇺🇸 Veteran 💜 definitely calming and relaxing 🪡
I am sitting here doing some sewing and watching and listening to you Kate. Even I think it's funny that I like to listen to someone talk about their darning and watch them clean but I have always loved watching others work. It is so relaxing.
Kate, I think I could watch you watching paint dry and I would be content! You always bring such a sense of calm to me. I also received your wonderful tea towels. They are even lovelier in person. Thanks for bringing so much peace into my life!
I agree, I could watch Kate do absolutely anything and be content. I got my tea towels too, they are lovely
Such a lovely place😍 for all kinds of activities...darning...reading...weaving...painting...meditating...playing....oh the possibilities are endless...😉 Thank you 🙏 for sharing💜
I’ve said to you several times, “Tell us about the treehouse, please.” I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I would like to know the story behind how it was built.
I love the idea of using old cutlery as shelf and curtain supports! Thank you for another small piece of calm. See you next week Kate 😁
My sister and I watched this yesterday and we loved it! Inside reminds me of the little cottage Rudolph and his friends stayed in on the cartoon show Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Love the curtains and curtain hardware! Of course we always enjoy a cat visit! I love your hair too. Thank you. We look forward to your videos.
Thank you from the scrubby leather chair. Your videos make me smile from ear to ear.
That was wonderful Kate. I hate darning...had to do it to get a darning badge when I was in the Brownies, eons ago. My sister, who doesn’t enjoy any craft apart from knitting, loves doing mending! Takes all kinds, as they say. I was wondering where your furry felines were, but then Sadie turned up. She has quite vicious claws😩 Love your treehouse. Reminds me of the little hut on a farm, where I went to Girl Guides. My group decorated the room with all little bits and pieces. We only went to Guides once a month, going to the leader’s farm on an old rail motor. We’d spend the whole day, doing all kinds of “Guide” things. Even digging our own latrine! You’ve rekindled so many memories, of when I was young and nimble and full of hope for the future. Thanks for your lovely chat today. ❤️🇦🇺
I do hope you have had a nice cosy nap in the tree house since cleaning it and washing the bed sheets etc you certainly deserve to after all that work . At age 61 I know I would love having some Nanny naps in there ... I have six grandchildren now so sometimes a nice nap is needed 😊
Thankyou for this lovely vlog Kate x
Love the idea of spinning wheel being in the treehouse.
Hi Kate , my fav things are my family , cheese & apple sandwiches but my most fav thing would be kindness & warmth and watching your videos has inspired me again - your clips are so beautiful & so inspiring it has renewed my love for simple things in life ; thank you for renewing my fav things as in this harsh world sometimes or often it is hard to remember qualifies our mums instilled in us ; kindness &. polite manners …. Thank you again 🌺🦋😀🍀
You are so clever, Kate! I wish I had more time to do my projects. I love watching you every week. It is very calming.
Hello LGS sofa mates!
Exactly, magical. I think whatever you bring up those stairs will always fit right in there
I managed to close the gate into the garden before she found it - that would have been a runaround and no mistake! ha ha! I'm waiting for 2 two things - a sunny day and someone to photograph the quilt before I can send it! ha ha! not managed both together! xxxx
@@thelasthomelyhouse That silly ol' goose! Her side eye looks crack me up. She's a mischievous one, that Battle Goode(tm) lol. And NO WORRIES on the quilt!!! I'm not even remotely upset or worried, hehe. Much like a wizard, the quilt shall happen precisely when it means to!! lol.
Agnes will remember the special tree house. One shouldn't be surprised how young a child is remembering special places and or activities. I do. I remember. I am sure Agnes will as well. Have a wonderful rest of your evening.
I have just found Kate...my mum taught me to sew too in the North of England.... I always have my sewing where ever I live in the world.. at the moment it's ILO Peru.. now I am part of your green sofa
Kate, tell us more about the tree house, I don't remember you telling us how it came about? Agnes is so lucky to have you as her grand mum. I think it would be great for a nap or shortgetaway!
A lovely Sunday spent in the treehouse. Happy Mother's Day to all! Enjoy the day! ❤
From suburbia where things (to me) are too clean, I send you Love and gratitude.
