Bonus Video - it was either this or a sledgehammer! 

Hello Kate. Don’t ever apologize for any content you create and share. Your visits are like I’m visiting a very good friend , comfortable and at ease. You will never make everyone happy, you said it perfect “ that’s what the delete button is for” Keep what your doing ...your doing it GREAT!

I expect that you won’t likely see this comment, given that this video is 2 years old. However, I’ve been watching a few of your older videos in the middle of the night lately. I recently broke my elbow and can only manage sleeping for two hours at a time, Tonight my lineup consists of colourwash liberty quilts, this one, and neon is next. I find your voice to be like a warm hug. I hope that doesn’t sound weird! . Thank you, Kate, for keeping me company in the middle of a restless night. 💜 Stay well! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦

These are my favourite videos where you just chat and physical or mentally "clean out drawers". Thank you.

Sorry about that damned technical nonsense... it drives me crazy too. Thanks for the chat though, I spent some much needed rest time watching a woman in the U.K. glue fabric onto a box. I could not be more grateful Kate. 😎🤗🤗🤗

@17:30 Norma's purring is so comforting!

I'm glad to know you have your lovely stone farmhouse to shelter you and the cats on such a day, and sweet Norma to cheer you at the end.

We really do appreciate all that you do in making your videos. Just know that all the frustrations you go through (and we know it’s not always like that) are worth it for us if that makes sense. So put the sledgehammer away, keep your hair on and thank you 🙏 it’s always so nice spending time with you Kate 🌺

“Things aren’t important people are”love that sage advice, lovely

You are such good company! Such a pleasure to share your days with you. Thank you!!🥰

You are quite right about the delete and volume buttons, that's why they are there. I am a crochet person and subscribe to learn techniques and patterns. I had to delete 2 people because it started to be more of a shopping show. Now your channel I like because you do a little bit of everything and I do like the sound of your voice, I find it relaxing. As a matter of fact, I'm subscribing as soon as I'm done with my comment. Thank you💗

I felt immediate relief for you when you mentioned the freshly brewed pot of coffee. Something about coffee, rainy days, bad moods; they just go together with a crafting "frenzy". How awesome is the internet that we can watch you work through it. Nice bit of brush work with the glue and sort of stabbing at those bits of fabric.

Hi Kate. I started binge watching your videos last night and came across the ones of the EPP dog. I have tried EPP in the past with hexagons, and it nearly drove me crazy. But over the last winter I had total knee replacement surgery, and I started doing some small project hand quilting. I found that I quite liked being able to sit and do a hand sewing project and not always sitting at my sewing machine or standing at my longarm. So when I came across your EPP dog, I decided to try it. So far, I have seven of the squares basted and am enjoying it very much. And as soon as I can get everything together, I’m also going to make a journal using your method. Quilting and reading will always be my favorite ways to spend my time, but I am enjoying learning and trying new things from your videos. I’m from Louisiana USA.

Heck I can watch and listen to you no matter what is going on within The Last Homely House

We love any and all videos. Your methods of getting calm even calm me when I watch. Thank you for being you.

Love your box! Nothing better to relieve stress than crafting!

Wonderful that you use your creativity to help not being stressed... beautiful little box❤

We consider it a privilege that you are willing to vent and share your frustrations with us! Thank goodness you persevered and fixed everything, You are a treasure and we are behind you 100 percent. Your videos cheer me everyday! Hugs.

Aww I just love videos like this Kate! I feel like I have been sitting up to the table next to you, watching you craft. In fact I hope it is a big table with lots of chairs because there must be dozens of us all sitting there in spirit lol. Thanks for making us smile Kate. Sending hugs to you and your furry family xxx

You and Norma are always a bonus for my day! Have a lovely time visiting your friend and dad. Don't go all "Office Space" on your computer! We'd all be crying. :( Sometimes you just need a mindless, calming task to let go and reset. Thanks for the chat, even if I'm two days late...

Oh, Brother Where Art Thou? One of my favorite movies of all time. Thanks, Kate.

Enjoyed sitting on the lime green sofa and listening to a friend...❤

and you're still smiling! Strong but gentle--that's you.

You always make me smile- even when you get frustrated like the rest of us. When it's my turn, I now know to grab a box, fabric scraps and glue. 💕 lovely

Love how Norma positions herself between you and the buzzy neon. 💝 Cats are very protective of their humans. 🐱💕

Oh those sledgehammer days!!! Thank you for all you do Kate. It is all really appreciated in so many ways.

Loved the box, those Liberty scraps look fab. Friendship is all about tea and wittering on, so please carry on. The rest of us on the Lime Green sofa don't mind a bit. Love from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Land of Dragons.

Unexpected surprises are wonderful. Beautiful box. And it appears to be Norma approved.

I loved this! It's something I love to do when I'm frustrated too. And then when I donate some things to the thrift stores they just might come in a cute little box made with glue and scraps (paper or fabric) And still to this day some people can't find the "delete" button. Love your videos.

These are my favorite videos, Kate. I love the both spontaneous projects and the conversation. I also love the cats. Thanks for sharing with us.

Cute little box! Technology is wonderful when it works, but SO frustrating when it doesn't because we have become so dependent upon it. TFS, Kate!

You are a very special person, and you just go thru what we all do one day or another. You are loved.😊

Dear Kate, hello from California I’m so happy to watch you covering the boxes with little bitty scraps. It wounds me to throw away any fabric and I always have thread everywhere I can glue some wads on my boxes. Thank you very much….also potato chip bark is my next project

Always love your spontaneous chats, even if they are born out of frustration. Glad we could all be here to help you along the way. Hugs from across the ocean.

I just love hanging around "with" you, Kate! You're always up to your elbows in something that looks like lots of mrssy fun!

So theraputic watching you do your box full of lovley liberty and norma's purring thankyou for sharing x jeane

Good way to get your frustrations out, make something pretty and useful. Love Norma at the end, she was marking the box as hers. Such a pretty cat. I find myself smiling alot when I watch your videos, thanks. Have a wonderful day. :)

Norma is such a sweety and I love the purr sound track. Plus the box was a great idea o help destress.

Thanks Kate, glad to see Norma looking well. I was happy to sew my little felt flowers and watch you gluing. I did watch your Neon video, well done for trying something really different. Keep doing what you do as your You tube friends love following you on your crafty journey. Love from Ocean Grove.

Glad you chose to vent this way rather than with a sledgehammer 🙂

Great healthy mindset Kate... and this is WHY I love you and your channel.

My Dearest Kate, Those of us that have been with you since the beginning , love tour videos just as you do them. We love the quirky sense of humor and realism of your videos. Sadly one of the realities of getting a large number of subscribers,is that you often get haters. People whose lives are so terrible that they feel the need to try to bring down others who have found joy and success in what they do! Pay these haters no mind Kate, you keep doing YOU, as that is why we subscribed to you to begin with. Thank you for the bonus video Kate! 😄😃 Much Love, Joe Reid N.S, Canada

I enjoyed watching you make the box and of course seeing Norma

Fantastic decoupage box💕 technology at times can drive us batty😡 love your neon strike!

I often need a frustration outlet, and this would be the perfect idea. I have lots of Scrappy bits I can't part with, and now I see how I can use them. Thanks for sharing this.

My goodness I loved this! Reminded me others are human too not just me! It's like visiting with a friend. Love Norma!

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 My friend is visiting me, we are sitting outside, knit and watched this video. We both envy the lady who picked up the quilt and was able to spend some time with you and have a cup of tea 🫖. Really Kate, how I would love to have a neighbor like you. Take care and have a wonderful week! (I am not even sure you notice comments on “old” videos) Love Stephanie 🇩🇪

I live the box and OH THOSE PURRS! ❤

You made lemons into lemonade. And you showed me a way I can have fun with fabric even though I don't sew. I often save sturdy cardboard shoe boxes to use as organization/storage bins instead of buying plastic junk. I am going to have a go at covering them with pretty fabric. Thank you for the inspiration!

I love your attitude. And I Love your patchwork curtains that I saw when you showed us the cats. The curtains have a beautiful light. They look like stain glass windows. :)

Norma is such a love. What a lovely bond you two have. I enjoy watching all your videos, please keep them coming!

Indeed. I thought immediately that the neon sculpture was Harry's scar. Well done!

28.10.22 when I’m having a sledgehammer day I watch The Last Homely House and my whole world falls back into place. I’m now thinking William Morris scraps and shoe boxes!! Thanks Kate…. Pennie By The Sea

Liked this video.. better than the neon workshop.. my kind of thing.. thank you xxx

Lovely video Kate seating with you watching and listing to you seeing your furry family! Thank you for letting us seat with you God Bless Hugs Liz..

It’s interesting how we all love your videos, but can’t agree on the music! That was a fun little project. I’ve preserved boxes with decorative packing tape, but I’ve never mod podged fabric - good idea! TFS!

So glad I found your channel. Lovely to see your ability to count your blessings and make lovely things even amongst frustrations.

Oh, how I would love a large box of Liberty scraps, like yours! I am happy for you. I love your creative spirit! I would really enjoy having you for my friend, in real life.

I love The Holdovers..think you and all our message friends would smile..

Oh Kate....I had myself a chuckle when you mentioned getting the sledge hammer 😂😂😂. It reminded me of day I was mowing the grass and the lawnmower kept dying on me. Dear hubby came around the corner of the house with a sledge hammer and put it out of its misery .😅😂😅 wish had a video of that moment. Lol ❤

Hi Kate well I'm enjoying your positive approach to frustration. It's given me an idea with all the square boxes I've collected from my Essential Oil deliveries and will put my 5" squares in preparation for my Flying Geese project. Thank you for the inspiration. Glen

Thank you. I love this video! It was very meditative with the sounds of the brush brushing and Norma purring. Lovely!

THANK YOU, oh thanks, very worrisome day and turned you on to settle myself..And you have offered me a wonderful solution to my day..I am going to look for a couple shoe boxes..and I have mod podge and a warm kitchen table area..Tea , yes, !! thank you for solving my aweful day..Again thanks..

Great to see positive stress-relief video. Nothing like turning a frustration into a win . We probably all had a cup of tea ' with ' you . So that's a win/win for us all . X

It's been a pleasure listening to you rabbiting on! I too had a terrible week for technology my work pc died! Lovely to get lost on the lime green sofa. Thankyou Kate.

Vent anytime it’s needed! Better than keeping it in, festering. Pretty trinket box was the bonus!

It's raining here too. It's 10 pm on Thursday. My husband went to the doctor today to find out he needs a new knee joint. Then I couldn't find some things I needed for a project. Next week I might get to sew. But life does hand us roses. The flowers are blooming and I found this video. So, life is good. Take care, enjoy life and I really enjoy your videos.

Glad everything worked out in the end and that no sledgehammers had to be used. Thanks for the bonus video. The box is lovely.

So glad you didn't take a sledgehammer to anything. Love the box and it works for so many different reason but the best is that if helped you through your frustrations. Plus it is going to be very useful, that's always and added plus.

Thank you for sharing your videos. All of us 'nest builders' enjoy the type of activities you share and the 'home feeling' you inspire. Uploads aren't always smooth so we appreciate your willingness to put your time into it.

I've just enjoyed this video 25th Feb 2021! Very relaxing listening to you and watching you making the box. Thank you Kate.

I knew you were going to say "oh Brother where art thou" such a lovely film!

Thank you Kate for the bonus video, technology can be very frustrating so its best to have a play with fabric! Love the box and I am glad you didn't use the sledgehammer! Blessings to you! x

Bonus video indeed! We do the same thing Kate when the universe, especially the technology universe, is thwarting us. Head for the craft table and pick up a lovely work in progress or begin a new one. Something to soothe jangled nerves and keep us from solving the problem with a hammer. Although hammering is very satisfying isn't it. I just picture myself doing it, and it helps with the frustration. Molly always knows when I'm feeling bonkers, she sits beside me ... at a safe distance. Glad things resolved themselves and I love the box. Best from Molly and me.

You gave me a good chuckle about computers/technology for it brings memories of me dealing with issues. At the COA office that I worked at some years ago we had a bit banger to use on the computers when they gave us headaches (a hollow plastic tube for handle with a sponge for the hammer head. ❤

The tea looks fabulous

Oh Dear Kate... I feel your pain! 😂😂! Truly I do! I have blogged for years and years and now have started a vlog on RU-vid, and I am so frustrated with how long everything takes. I don't have an editing program, I don't even have a camera, like you did I use my iPad, my phone, and my SLR...and really I don't have clue what I am doing. In desperation I sat down in my studio yesterday, tore through every drawer and container I own and made some of my dress cards. I made enough to send some birthday greetings, but the mess in my studio lingers.... Love your box idea...have done that with boxes and containers... Talk about tearing ones hair out...every time you lift that gorgeous box of Liberty scraps...my hands travel to my head! Deep breath...hug a cat... Your day will get better! Dale from Canada

Glad you were able to use your frustrations by making a lovely box. I am so happy to know you reprinted Normas book. Can't wait to order mine.

Love the box and all your beautiful kitties🧡🌻

I found the music from the Pixel video to be delightful. Thank you. I love Norma.

I get frustrated when I can’t watch my friends on RU-vid. 🙁 I miss my friends. The purring was wonderful. Always happy to visit with you. Your box is beautiful! Take care and have a wonderful day.

Oh Kate. I love this kind of video while you do something and so do I. Favorite was New Year’s Eve 2021 with tea, wine and I was knitting premie hats. My favorite way to spend New Year’s Eve! Thanks Kate.

That was great I just love watching you with all your crafts Daphne .Australia Don't hit it with a hammer .you will find a home for it .

Great way to release your frustrations Kate! Love how the box turned out!

I like your curtains. They are very unique. I think I would like something similar on my bus's (RV) windows. I too love covering boxes since I can do other things while doing it, like you talk and I can watch you, lol It is cold across the big pond also.

Nice visit Kate. Love the Liberty box. Your mention of a sledge hammer reminded me of my late husband when things went wrong. He had a sledge he called "Big Bertha" to deal with frustrations. Still miss him so much even after almost 5 years. Please keep doing what you do. xxx Kathy

Such a lovely sweet lady you are. Frustration can be good sometimes when it produces such a wonderful idea of making a beautiful box. LOL So glad your computer hiccupped that bug out of it's system and started cooperating. I enjoyed this video. Thank you and have a wonderful day!

I love the box idea!It is so cute to see Norma trying to make you feel better!I love the purring!And they say cats don't care about people.

Up since 205am. It's now4am. I was thinking about straightening up the sewing room. Glad I found your new post.

I'll listen to your frustrations video any time. 😄

I've just discovered your videos. I enjoy this little chat and the lovely box on this, also, very rainy day in the north east of France. Thank you and Love from France

Rainy day project! Your vids de-stress me, thx. I'm enjoying a coffee and catching up on all my RU-vid 'friends' today. When I watched the neon vid, I thought Harry Potter scar also. You bit of neon would go in your Pink room!

Oh I loved that there was a bonus video fro you today. I enjoy listening to you 'wittering on' as you called it and love the box you made too...such a great idea for using up scraps. Thank you for sharing. x

I love to watch the relationship you have with Norma, she's a dear

Little books arrived. I have read them all land they have filled me with joy. I shall treasure them. What an interesting life you have had and do have. I enjoy your videos so much, it's like having a friend in the room with me. I admire your patience so much. You are truly a remarkable woman. Love from Janice. xx

That was a great bonus video!!!! I enjoyed watching you cover the box.....it looks great.......and I can certainly sympathize with your frustrations. Just so you know.....all your RU-vid friends are here anytime you need an ear. I am exactly the same.....if I am frustrated , doing something creative is just the best medicine......it soothes the soul....even one in need of a good rant!!!!! Hope your day got decidedly better Kate. Take care, Maureen

Lovely chat, thank you. I want to find a nice shape box now to cover in fabric just because I like yours!

Wow what a brilliant idea. I use shoe boxes to store my craft equipment. And have a load of old shirts that I am loath to throw out, now I have something to do with them, and the fabric will look a lot better than the adidas logo! Thank you for the idea.

I love the creativity that comes from frustration 🌧

So sorry you had such a bad day with the video problem. But so glad to see another video. I don't know why people are critical of any part of a video you put out for us. I love your choices in music, content, etc. You work so hard to give us such fun and you are so inspiring to me and others. I've learned so much from you, had so many laughs. It is wonderful to be able to share your life. Your new box looks like a castle to me. Liberty Castle Box.....Keep up the wonderful work!!!

Live your stress strategy. So productive. I also enjoy that you don’t let the negative comments get to you I appreciate and enjoy your videos. thank you for your patience 😊
