I am SO impressed with all the beautiful beaded scales people have made for you!! It’s obvious people LOVE the Idea and love participating in the project and love you. The whimsy in your living room is perfect!! I had no idea what to expect with all those leaf pillows!! And that you try to use items that are sitting in your garage and material in your stash makes it that much more fun. It all came together beautifully.
The lady at the post office telling me I could incur up to $400 US when my scales went through French customs was so funny. I sincerely hope the did not. They were, after all, made with scraps while watching Modern Family fo the third time.
Being self employed is no joke. You have to wear so many hats and there's no one to pick up the slack when you are sick or overwhelmed. Your videos are so much fun to watch, thank you for all your beautiful and creative content!💜
Laughed so hard at "it is very important to clip the butt crack of your leaf" !!!! 😂 Your French accent sounds so cool/elegant that when you say something like this, it makes me giggle! Please never change ! ❤❤❤
I love how you went from the first video: "this is not my cat", couple weeks later: making a matching outfit for the cat, another couple weeks later: making the cat comfy blankets to sit on. 😂 That cat has wormed it's way into your life 😂
Agreed, super cute. I've had ideas for a flower lamp kicking around in my head for years, and you just added some new ideas to the list. Maybe I need to get to work on that... I do wholeheartedly appreciate you sharing the 'figure it out' stage of the projects. Keep doing you, and take care.
I love how there is a thrift shop within seconds of the sewing/crafting room. Sadly my garage only contains boring, not ready for crafting, items...and occasionally one or two mice. I love the leaf pillows. I hope that they are as comfy as they are beautiful. The flower lamps came out so well, but scare me. Perhaps it is just heredity as I am the daughter of an electrician and have a guarded relationship with lamps and things. Always enjoy an appearance by "the cat who is not my cat" who lends such gravitas (and fur) to every video appearance.
my grandma used to make latch hook rugs, everyone in my family had at least one. Love the look of yours and the fluffyness! What a comfy and magical living room 💚
We were into latch hook in the early 70s. Mom designed and made an Oriental inspired small rug (3' x 5'). I don't remember how long it took her. I do remember a stall at the binding and finishing when Dad took over. Dad's parents had made braided rugs for years for them and family. Mom's rug was gorgeous and lush under the feet.
Pro tip on how to save time and your sanity. Zig zag stitch with sewing maching. Change the width so you do not damage your needle with the wire. I stick to floral wire because it is thin. You may have to double/triple it up to make it more sturdy (depending on the size of your piece). Use a candle to melt the edge of synthetic fabric, i do this when making flowers for head pieces ❤ Love your work
I used to do latchhook projects when I was a kid. I'd get a little kit from Walmart or Michaels with a pattern to follow to make a little pillow-sized image of a unicorn or something.
Oooh, I didn't know I needed leaf shaped kitty covers until now. Soon as I finish up the scales, that's what I'm gonna do! Thanks Ariel, you're so inspiring!😻
Thank you for your moment of frankness. Coming out of lurker to say that you are one of my favorite youtube creators. I love all of your ideas, they are so creative and how you take us along the way on the creation of them with great humor. I'm loving how your living room is turning out. I'm also giving my bathroom vanity lights the side eye thinking how cool they could look if they were flowers. Such a great idea!
It looks like you make your log/slice of wood rug all free handedly. The rug is beautiful and your talent is beyond compare. I doubt that most folks could make such a beautiful rug even if the entire project came in a kit with yarn pre-cut and the pattern inked/ colored unto the bare rug matrix. Please keep creating and sharing your wondrous works of art.
You are so clever and talented. The living room is sumptuous, rich, and mysterious. What beautiful items you create. Thanks for taking us along. Your neighbor kitty is so sweet and as cats tend to do, helpful.
oh my goodness what a perfect little faerie nest!!!!! ✨😍 I adore all of these projects and they serve as a beautiful blueprint to make one day. Absolutely stunning work 💖
You have tapped into my 10 year old self!!! I would have loved to have my room decorated like this!!! …now I’m just happy if it’s clean!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Amazing job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I absolutely love all your videos. Your kookie nature and humor makes watching enjoyable. I do have a tip that might help. Years ago I made my sister some very large fairy wings for her halloween costume. I was using polyester like you were. I found using an extreme hold hair spray worked better than glue and was lighter. It helped her wings from getting any frayed pieces and gave them enough stiffness for me to slightly mold.
I would love to have you as my friend!! This is the first of your videos I have seen, and your personality made me smile! I just bought my 8 yo granddaughter her very first sewing machine, and can't wait to show her this video and make flower lamps and leaf pillows! Such a fun idea❤ And she will enjoy helping you by making scales for your dress project! I AM A FAN!!,
This came together so well! Love the lamps! But also, kudos on all that latch hooking! I love doing all kinds of crafts, but that one bored me to bits when I was a kid. One day I'll try again, but not on anything so big as a whole tree stump!
I love your flower lamps! I have a standing lamp with a broken shade that will be perfect to try this on! I didn't want to just replace the boring white shade. Thank you!!!
I absolutely love the leaf pillows❤❤❤❤. I always wondered how those were made. I have some excellent fabric in my stash for a project like this, so i see some sowing projects in my near future🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I just discovered you! I love your project - what a cute idea! - and I really love your filming style! Step 1: murder 😆 dumping a handful of leaves and whispering "treasure" 😆😆😆 you're awesome!!
The latch hook rug, my mum has always called it ‘rag-rugging’. She uses random colours and off cuts of wool, the ‘rags’. I have a rectangle she made me!
