When I was a little girl I recieved the book, "The Borrowers", and I've been fascinated with miniatures and seeing how scraps, and caps and all sorts of objects could be utilized in a minature world. You've brought that childhood fascination back to me! ❤
I'm so glad to hear that This brought back a great childhood memory! So much of what I do 😄is a result of what I used fory dollhouses as a child! Thank you for watching and for allowing me to share! I'm glad you are here!💖☺️
I love that you continue to include your Daddy in your commentary. Such wisdom should be shared. Your projects turned out beautifully, and I look forward to your next upload. Thanks for sharing:)
Thank you so much Kathi! Daddy is a part of everything I do! I appreciate you for being here!
The "horse" commentary was hilarious Gretchen!🤣🤣...Great job on today's crafts.😊
Thanks you I'm Glad you liked it!! i said I felt bad after I said it and when i thought of actual being beaten horses, then I thought , why is this an expression? then i thought what about animal advocates? Then I was like HEY I DON"T EVEN KNOW ANY HORSES. After I recorded it ....and listened to the playback I laughed, then i hoped no one was offended. Thank you for seeing the humor!!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 sadly, there don't seem to be any rules or organizations to prevent cruelty to horses. They're slaughtered for dogfood or something. Once people can't make money with them. It's expensive to. Just keep one as a pet if you can't ride it anymore or breed it. Or work it
I Watch the Think Like A Horse channel. He does a lot of videos about horses, has a couple of horses
Today, I actually made a hat! Tomorrow, I’ll do my best at a purse. Thank you for inspiring me to try!
I'm So glad to hear you were inspired!!! That's it! ALL you need is a little inspiration! Let's put the FUN back into Miniatures!!!
You are fascinating to watch in crafting all those accessories! And yes, never beat a dead horse!😂😂 you made my day with that one!
LOLOLOLOLOL!!! Thank you Mary!! I'm So glad you enjoyed this!!! I appreciate you for being here!!
I found your channel by accident, I'm so glad I did, you display the joy, and fun side of miniatures I enjoy.
A lace umbrella, I believe is really a parasol.
Ask your son about shrink wire covers, brilliant to cover wire and other things,neatly, with the use of heat.
Also if you look in the plumbing section of a shop, there are products that are adhesive thin metal tapes, joint sealers. Great for covering an item to "make it metal".
I have covered card pans to make them metal.
I have actually said in the past, I was so hungry " I could eat a horse", but like you, I don't know any horses either, ha ha!
HELLO 😃 AND WELCOME TO LITTLE GRETCHEN'S WORKSHOP!!! I'M SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE!!! I'M SO GLAD LIKE THE WAY I SHARE MY LOVE FOR MINIATURES! SORRY FOR THE CAPS!🤭 I'M NOT YELLING JUST EXCITED 😆😃I will ask about those electrical supplies thank you for the suggestion!!! And YES, Do Not "EAT horses you don't know"!!! 🤭😆🤭I LOVED THIS COMMENT!!!THANK YOU FOR WATCHING AND ALLOWING ME TO SHARE!☺️💖
Love watching you do these lovely little thing than you
Thank you Teresa!!!
I love the coin purse! Also had a chuckle about the horse!
Thanks Jan! I'm glad you saw the humor in it! I'm glad you liked the coin purse! I got tickled after i made it! Thank you for watching!
Great idea for the hangers. Thanks for sharing. Traceyx
Thank you!!! I appreciate you for watching!!!
Using the earring back is brilliant! Thank you for the ideas and inspiration.
YOU are So Welcome Candace!!
I would have never thought of using that wire to create hangers. They were perfect for your shop!
Yes it's great! I really like the firmness but it's easy to bend! Thank you for watching!
I am absolutely “stealing” that clip idea to hold the little table mirrors, so smart. Loved the video. ❤️
Go for it! LOLOLOL! That's an old trick! I'm glad you liked it!
Oh my word those purses are absolutely adorable. I just Love,Love, Love your work no mater what you do it looks so personal. Those little Hangers and umbrellas are two cute for words. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special Friend.
AWWW JOAN! This comment made me smile! Thank you for calling me your dear and special Friend! I'm so glad you are enjoying my content! I am grateful for you being here! Thank you!!
Aw you are so sweet to give me a shout out, thank you! 😍 I love these videos where you are zealously creating. We get a nice peek into your creative process which is so helpful for someone like me ! The hangers are quite sweet and an unexpected detail I wouldn't have thought of. The dress shop is going to look amazing😍❤️
Thank you and You are so welcome! I LOVE Your channel! It is SO Whimsical and Imaginative! I get so caught up sometimes i have to just stop the camera! Idea overload! LOLOLOLOL!!!
“I don’t actually know any horses” 😂😂😂
You're Sooo Creative & We Appreciate Your Diligence & Vision!! Love You Sis❤️❤️
Thank you so much 🤗
OMG I have never seen anyone make such beautiful things out of scraps and odd bits and pieces, The bags are beautiful, I love the umbrellas , the lace one could be a sun shade instead of for rain lol, they are so pretty, I have been guilty of letting my creativity slide because I thought I needed the exact right stuff but you have proved to me that I do not need anything but my bags of material, lace, ribbon and a few other things that I have in my stash. Thank you for sharing your wonderful creations, ❤
Thank you I truly appreciate your comment! I earnestly want to dispel the myth that you need to buy alot of expensive materials and supplies in order to create wonderful things! You just need to train your EYE to SEE, what it COULD BE! I got my start creating with just scraps and odd bits! So go ahead and have FUN seeing what you can come up with!
So cute! I almost bought some pre-made hangers. So glad now that I didn't!
I'm Glad you saw this video!! There are So many tiny things you can make! Save your coins for the things you either don't have the tools or the skill to make. OR if you are not interested in learning how to make!!! LOLOLOL!!!
Great little accessories, and I love the mirror stand. You have a wonderful eye for repurposing, I need to develop mine a bunch more!
Thanks so much Kim! 😊 The funny part is I don't even realize I'm doing it! I'm so used to salvaging from remnants scraps and trash it just comes naturally. When I was little although Daddy bought me kits and things for my doll house most of the rest I had create from whatever I could glean or find!
Omg amazing as always 🌂🌂🌂👜👜👜
Thank you!!!!
I just love your ideas, & your confession that you are an 'over-gluer' 😂😂😂
LOLOLOL!! It is SO TRUE! I try my BEST to be orderly and NEAT in my videos. SO HOW Little GRETCHEN always takes over! LOLOLOLOL!!!
This little shop is going to have dolls from far away coming to buy those beautiful things you’ve created for it, l hope the ladies have plenty of stock lol, and you father certainly had many words of wisdom and advice, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Thank you so much! Yes I believe the dress shop will do well! It's the Only one of it;s KIND in the DOLLS Town! LOLOLOLOL!!! Yes Daddy kept me grounded! I will always be Grateful that HE was My Father....
These are so charming! Using trims in unique ways really gets me out of a rut. I'm going to raid my husband's tool box for little bits and bobs LOL Thank you! I can't wait to head to my studio tomorrow to play!
Thank you Rachael! That's So Wonderful to hear! I want to inspire you to think outside the box! There is no right of wrong way, try it and see what happens! Have Fun!
I just love your creations....God bless you.
Thank you so much 😊You are always so encouraging I appreciate you Barbara!
You truly inspire the doll lovers that follow you to dream. I find myself looking forward to what you make all of the time. I am working on a log cabin and overthink the process sometimes but it's getting better , I ask myself , what would you put there and smile then make my next move. Thanks again sis.
Love the purses and mirrors. You are full of clever ideas! I learn something every time I watch your tutorial’s 💜💜💜keep them coming please! I’m still learning from you and I need all the help I can get!
You are so welcome! I'm glad you liked it! No worries there is plenty more to come! I've got over 40 years of ideas waiting to be shared!!!!
Laughed at your horse humour sooooo funny . I love your lil ideas. They will be fab In my dollhouse/shop which I've called ladies that lunch it has perfume,bags etc and other bits and I'm going to put a table in so the ladies to have afternoon tea x
That Sounds LOVELY! Great Idea! I wish i could see your project! Have FUN!!!
Hello, your dress shop is going to be fabulous with so many wonderful accessories, I love the little handbags and the coin purse they are so cute, and the pretty hangers also, I love the idea for earring backs as mirror stands and the way you made the umbrella, I can't wait to see what you think of next. You have a wonderfully creative imagination, and I'm so thankful that you share your knowledge with everyone. Best wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧
Thank you so much 😊
This is so magical!!!
Although I'd end up with a lot of tiny handbags glued to my fingers. 😂 I admire your creativity and handiwork! Beautiful and charming. Thank you for encouraging people to act on creativity!
PS - your hangers are gorgeous!!
Thank you! 😊 I truly enjoyed this project as well! Thank you for your feedback!
Really super tips here, everything is really beautiful! I love all these notions for the dress shop and you're making quite a collection of lovely things. I'm ready to shop and order a dress ☺. Glad to hear you don't beat horses, dead or alive, I would have been shocked!🤣
Thank you Cassandra! This is such a FUN project! i feel like I have to get these Accessories out of my head so i can focus on the ACTUAL ROOM!!!!LOLOLOLOL! GURL, I use so many euphemisms ,i didn't realize how bad they sound until I play back recording! LOLOLOLOL!!!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 Use all the euphemisms all you want honey. I'm a Texan that's how we communicate LOL!!!! You sound just as cute as you are ☺ I'm so glad you film the little bits too because, we can say it together....DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS 🤭🤣
Wow they all turned out amazing. Take care and thank you for sharing 👍🙏❤️
Thank you i hope you give it a try!!!
I love all your ideas, thank you for showing us. I like adding nail art metal accessories for nails (flat or 3D) to my tiny handbags to make them really fancy.
THANK YOU !!! YES Nail Art is the perfect size for so many things in miniature! It effortlessly adds amazing detail and realism!
Omgoodness!! You're a blessing!!! You have given me the opportunity to create an umbrella for my giveaway. All I could find were ends of paperclips. Thanx to your umbrella I can definitely include mine!! 🤗💖hugs
The purses are addictive!! You may see some of those as well!!❤🥰
THANK YOU!! You are so welcome! ENJOY!!!
😂🤣I love how sparingly you are with your glue! Im so messy with my glue..These hangers are so cute! I'll need some soon. Thank You So Much For Sharing!! 💖🥰You just have an amazing way of simplicity..of course I've always had to learn the hard way😅..not much fun!!
I just can't stop with the glue! it's like I'm on automatic! i do it and then say ok, i'm not gonna do it this time and I STILL DO IT! LOLOLOL!
Hi Ms Gretchen! Wow! You are so very talented and I absolutely love your videos. Im so excited to see their shoppe open and bloom. Tell margarite to pay no attention to aunt Bess. Aunt Bess is from another generation and is just exercising her elder status, but she understands completely she can't stop nature. Margarite will be courted properly and we're so happy for her. Thanks for sharing your , and their, story with us. Especially thank you for sharing your beautiful talent with us. You give me inspiration on my first miniature im currently constructing. ❤ Dennis (las vegas)
Thank you! I appreciate your kind compliment! I'm excited about the shoppe too! You are Exactly Right about Aunt Bess! She really doesn't mean any harm, she's just being super over protective! Ultimately LOVE will WIN!!! HOW Exciting YOU FIRST MINIATURE!!! I can only imagine! I wish i could see what you are doing!! Let know how it turns out! Congrats!
Beautiful ❤😊
Thank you!!!
Lady you must have read my mind! After an adventure (meaning a slight disaster that I managed to drag back from the edge of no return hahaha) making mini hats, I realised I also needed a handbag and umbrella to hang on my hat stand. Saw someone elses tutorial on how to make an umbrella but this one is SO much more my speed! Thank goodness for little Gretchen, you have saved the day! On a technical note, I know you dont really measure things but any clues to how long that little doweling you used in the umbrella was? I think I can figure out the rest from there myself.
I can't get over just how delicate and elegant those handbags look! Definitely anticipating what ever delicious creations you share with us next! Thank you 😁
Hi Nessie! Those Dowels are just the kabob skewers from grocery store. They are they use to make Shish Kabobs. Not sure the actual diameter. I'm sorry.... hope you can find some. I'll see if i can add a link for amazon.
Just beautiful
Thank you Carol!!
Congratulations on your growing number of subscribers! It's not surprising, though, because you make so many darling things in such a fun way. 🥰 Love the purses, mirrors, umbrellas, and hangers! When I make mini wire hangers, I strip off the paper/plastic from twist ties- it's usually a good gauge and length. I may try one or two of these fancy hangers with the wire I scavenged from the work we had done on our house. I can always actually go out and *gasp* BUY some if I "need" more. (My husband: "You have an interesting use of the word "need".) 😆
LOLOLOL!! I FEEL him on that!!! I only BUY what I NEED! Cool Part if you go to like a HOME store you can buy whatever amount and it's super cheap! I'm So glad you enjoyed this it was a really fun video to create!!!
Again, your creativity is amazing. Love it all. ❤
Thank you so much Connie!
"I don't even know any horses"! 🐴 Lol, you crack me up. Sad that we need to put in disclaimer for common sayings.
GURL!! I say so much Crazy stuff I NEVER thought about until i listen to the play back. I use so many euphemisms, but i never thought about how bad they sound! So i had to work some humor into it!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 hahaha. I always stick my foot in my mouth and offend someone, even though I don't mean to. These days I'm afraid to open my mouth
So many ingenious ideas with wonderful results, I especially want to try the mirror idea, but first the hangers! Gonna have to find that particular electrical wiring. Thanks again, and congratulations on your growing channel--I am not surprised at all that it is blossoming!
Thanks so much Peggy! Yes Please do make some of those hangers they are so much fun and they look really cute! I am so grateful and humbled by my channels' growth! I appreciate your presence.
It's all so cute! Did you know that someone made a completely in scale AND completely functional umbrella for a contest at one of the miniature shows?
ABSOLUTELY! YES!!! ACTUALLY MORE than ONCE! I have seen some Amazing things over the YEARS! There are some INCREDIBLY TALENTED ARTISTS out there whose attention to detail will make your head hurt!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL!!
Very Creative!
Thank you So much! 😊
Your creativity and use of materials NEVER ceases to amaze and inspire me! I see purses, umbrellas and hangers as my next project fun! Beautiful results, as always! Love to hear the words from your daddy too! Thanks much, Kathleen. ALSO, please check your Amazon link for the Beacon glue. I couldn’t get it to work - thanks!
Thank you so much! Yes a DADDY is in a little piece of every video! I have so many ideas tumbling in my head I have to stop the camera! LOLOLOL! I got some "NEW"Supplies=NEW Ideas and Projects! Thank you i will check and replace that link.
So cute!! It's definitely the pretty parts that give me motivation to do the structural work! Great ideas here! I may have to add some of them to my Dress Boutique. It's on the back burner though, because it's essentially done, and I'm working on other buildings right now. ❤
Thank You! Please do! I know it can be a challenge with ALL the Projects in front of you! I try to work from my list but sometimes it doesn't work out that way! LOLOLOLOL! Thank you for watching!
I really look forward to your videos. The earring clip ons as mirror stands is a brilliant idea...and the hangers...I shall be making those!! I have tried so many times to make hangers n couldn't get them right.
Thankyou for sharing❤
Thank you! 😊 I'm So glad to hear this video helped you! That Truly encourages me to continue , when i hear that my voice is making a difference. Thank you for your feedback!

Oh I wanted to ask you have you done the Chrysnbon vanity set yet? I saw it in the video, I will be doing one soon and had some lovely ideas, I will be sharing this beautiful set that I saw for inspiration!💖
I came back to watch and on my way I got distracted and watch the window vidow again!😂😂❤
YES I am enjoying this Dress Shop sewing 🪡 room theme! I'm finally getting back to it! Working on some new videos for it now 😄! Yes I did the vanity set when I was working on setting up Marguerite's bedroom. The episode when Charlotte gave her a box of lovely things for her vanity.🤭🤭😆💖I love that vanity set, I just hate that it costs what it does!😄 I'm super cheap! I should create a mold! ENJOY MY FRIEND 💖💖💖
