Great work I’m going to start making them for Christmas they were so easy thank you so much and I understood everything you said that doesn’t always happen
@JellyAndPickle thats what i was thinking! I am in the middle of moving and have too many unfinished products to try atm... if you try it let me know how it goes 😊
A couple of rooms in my house had woodchip paper on the ceiling ( with a couple of layers of paint on ). I screwed thin plywood over it and papered over it. It saved a lot of time and effort.
We love finding all the little treasures like the toy boat, can imagine the previous owners grandchildren playing boats in the pond! We can’t wait to get there ourselves too one day! 😁
🤦♀️ wall of brambles are a total pain. Here they are all along the roads and although a great fruit they are super invasive too. Oh I would defo remove the bamboo 😮. Oh yikes Ellie I have done that before 😂 but I also ran over the hose with the mower 🫣🤭🤭. It will definitely make a lovely seating area under the thinned out trees. Great job guys, have a fab weekend, Ali 🌞🇨🇦
Definitely! We like to make blackberry gin but that’s the only redeeming thing about the brambles! Haha, not my finest moment but not out of character! 😅 Hope you have a great weekend too!
😂 we started out the same with a small lawnmower and hand tools. Well it took ages to do anything so in came the big tools and it is a total difference. Great job in one year 💪💪, look forward to seeing all the changes, Ali 🌞🇨🇦
Gives us hope that we will get there one day! 😁 yep we’re happy to put in the hard work but sometimes just getting the big tools in is so worth it! 😅 can’t wait to show you!
Oh my gosh. The cutting of the back hedge, I kept waiting for the secret garden to appear. This was very fun. Great job you all! I know you are so pleased!
😂 I found a hug thistle in the lawnmower shed, never grown them so obviously bird sown. Greenhouse is a game changer and just in time for winter sowing. Have a marvellous weekend, new sub, Ali 🌞🇨🇦
I’d’ve said that was 1970/80s decor rather than 50s when it would’ve been all dark, free-standing furniture .... and picture rail not dado .... it’s what we used to hang pictures and heavy mirrors from, rather than putting holes in the walls, as they would’ve been expensive to repair - hence the really long fixing nails - the idea was, it made the ceilings look higher. Personally, I’d’ve kept them as they’re an original, architectural feature and people are now putting them back in. I would also have been very tempted to get a plasterer in to skim coat the ceiling (they’re not horrendously expensive, particularly for a small room) it’s made a huge difference to all my ceilings. And, sorry, if that all sounds a tad negative as I’m impressed with what you’ve done - love that blind too😊
Oh yes probably more like 70s! The house is 1950s! I would always try to keep original or characterful features but this one just wasn’t to our taste, and don’t think was original! 😁 Definitely will be getting a plasterer in next time, was just trying to get this room done as quickly and cheaply as possible, it might all change again when we have the rest of the house renovated! 😁 No of course, thank you watching and for the comment! 💛
This is a great tutorial! I am disappointed for you after all that hard work for them to be so sheer. Other than that the pattern you made was perfect on you .
May i suggest something to avoid the gathering? This is brilliant, by the way. I have so many fabrics that are slightly too thin and I’m so excited to use them now!
Please suggest! I’m no way an expert seamstress so will take all the tips! 😁 Thank you! I was so sad they were too thin with one layer so happy they work double sided!
@@JellyAndPickle i most definitely am still learning myself! I like to use something called a “contoured” waistband. I believe patterns for pirates has a free pattern called “peg legs” and I’m pretty sure one of the options is for a contoured waistband. Essentially, it’s wider where it attaches to the pants, and narrower at the waist. It helps to hold up nicely and also not have the gapping in the back or the need for over gathering, which can result in the puckers
acrylic paint is generally considered non toxic to my knowledge. using a heat gun or open flame definitely isn’t as safe, but it has a different result
Nice video! Thanks for so many ideas for displaying your art. I am doing my first art fair this July. I was invited to share a both with my artist friend who has done fairs for years.
