I watched Arne and Carlos make this lovely star for their house
• Sit and Knit for a Bit...
and left a comment on their video saying how much I liked it, and that I might make one for The Last Homely House. 'DO IT!' they replied and so I have!
Here then is a lot of film of me pottering around my little local town, then I do the most basic of 'carpenting' and by great good fortune, Jo and Barry were able to visit after the strict lockdown restrictions changed on December 2nd. They help me in the house(Jo) and with outdoor tasks (Barry) and I really appreciate their help.They stop me from going crazy with all there is to do! Barry doesn't mind ladders. He's a tree surgeon, so I guess it comes with the job!
Enjoy my driving at 8 times the speed I actually do it!
The last posting days to guarantee Christmas delivery for items from the shop
16th December for the UK and Europe (it is in fact the 18th, but I will be away for a couple of days seeing my Dad so I won't be able to mail anything out after 16th)
10th December for USA and Canada
and it's too late for guaranteed delivery to New Zealand and Australia now
So be nifty and pop over to the shop!
www.thelasthom...
Patrons of all tiers from $1 are enjoying (at least I hope they are) my little readings of my favourite poems on every day that is an odd number!
It is my Christmas Gift to my Patrons so you can join them just for December if you like. You'll also be able to see last years advent readings if you scroll back a bit.
/ thelasthomelyhouse
In other Patreon News, I am trying to make December's Livestream ($5+) into a Zoom Chat. No idea if I'll be successful but that should be an interesting experiment!
Today the music is called Winter Time from Epidemic Sound and I LOVE it!
Take care
Love
Kate

Arne and Carlos were so fun to watch! I’m was so happy to see you tackle it Kate! Your star is beautiful lit up by your window. Also, so fun to go on your drive see your town and landscape. So beautiful and different than here in Wisconsin.

A beautiful star shining in the dark of night. I'm sitting on the outdoors part of the lime green sofa wrapped in a blanket drinking hot chocolate admiring the star along with all the other you tube friends. We've got hot water bottles too. X 🌼

@denisew.8610 3 года назад

This video takes me back about 50+ years. One of my earliest memories of Christmas was my daddy making a star out of wood and for some reason he wrapped foil around it and then put lights around it. It hung on our front porch next to the door. We used it for years. I wish I had that star today. I would proudly display it at Christmas. I think of it every Christmas when I am putting up my Christmas decorations. I don't know why he put the aluminum foil around it, unless it was just to give it some color or shine. He was very good at making things. He would make us little wooden toys and cars.

I LOVE this STAR with light ms- Fantastic at night! Hooray! Yes- SandraMyer- cold outside! Yikes!

@suebarner8364 3 года назад

When I watched this on Arne and Carlos, I laughed and laughed. Cudos to Carlos for perseverance!

@redhen689 3 года назад

Me too!

@Rainydaylily 3 года назад

I did too. And kudos to Arne for patiently explaining everything with his limited English. It was a wonderful episode. Kate, after watching A&C I made two little stars for my windows. This is a very simple, lovely project.

@sarojabhat1261 3 года назад

What a great idea to make this star that Carlos made under Arne’s supervision. What I absolutely loved most was your drive back home. The little town looks so very sweet and peaceful! Thanks and stay safe.

@credenza1 3 года назад

Me too. The English villages and countryside is so beautiful.

@cathytorres3145 3 года назад

Beautifully done Kate!🌟 Barry to the rescue! Kate’s got her own handy hunk, hahaha. My husband and I made one yesterday and hung it on our tractor shed (no plug so we used battery operated LED lights) Every time I see a bright star I think of one of my favorite poems; “choose something like a star” by Robert Frost . It looks lovely above your kitchen window

@sherryclifton4947 3 года назад

I was searching for quilting videos the other day and happened upon you. What a treat! So now I’ve been binge watching you and felt that I should let you know how much I enjoy you escapades. I am the oldest of three girls so my Dad made me his “son”. Ha. I love watching someone that can do everything all by herself. Please continue to video because I so enjoy your channel. I hope you have younger than us viewers because you offer so much to learn. Sherry from North Carolina, USA. 😃😃

@helenoreillylong9497 3 года назад

Very nicely done Kate. It was fun to watch Carlos take a turn at the woodworking!

@annabavaresco1725 3 года назад

I watched Carlos make his star, I was in tears from laughing. I think you are a little more mechanically inclined than Carlos, he was such a good sport ! It was good to see him persevere in the end. Your star looks great, and your kitchen window is just beautiful. Thank you for shareing

@daniceandrus9245 3 года назад

Just now watching, the star is beautiful and perfectly placed about that gorgeous window

@irhonda31 3 года назад

The star looked so good with your stained glass window! Thank you, Barry for helping - all of us on the LGS appreciate it! I understand the single lady issues - like getting heavy things into the house! I love your “girl drill” - what a great Mother’s Day gift! I’m so glad you recommended Arne and Carlos as I am thoroughly enjoying their channel!

@carybradley3968 4 месяца назад

So darned cute! Fantastic star, Kate, congratulations! And your stained glass masterpiece is spectacular lit from inside!!! Simply magnificent with your star. Sweet!

@jennystroyeck7954 3 года назад

Well done! My husband made the Alaska version- constructed of alder branches we'd trimmed to give the snowplow guy more room, and hung on moose antlers over the shed door.

@pebblecritter 3 года назад

A few months late watching it but better late then never! I SO enjoyed watching you do this! I loved seeing Carlos making out in the snow under Arne's direction and thought it was such a beautiful star! Seeing you make it has reinforced my resolve to make one this year!!! It's the simple things in life that can bring so much joy (and you never disappoint.). Thank you! xx

@montraclements6988 3 года назад

The star looks beautiful!! And your window! You and BARRY did a fine job!

@vivianpowell1732 3 года назад

Thank you, Kate. This is such a charming video, perfect for encouragement and getting into the spirit of the holiday season. I loved every scene, even the ice on the windshield moment. Your star is gorgeous both ways, lit and unlit. Sturdy, too. I enjoyed the shopping excursion into town. I'll be watching all of this again & again from now until Christmas. New subscriber.

@suewilson3044 3 года назад

Kate why would you not give this a thumbs up, I was enthralled with this jam packed episode. What a wonderful job you did and your dream was realised with the help of gorgeous Barry!! Great sunday night viewing.

@sandramyer7081 Год назад

This is important for us to learn the Star- 5 star with wood about 40 inches with holes on each end of wood- use a mechanical drill to make a nail, back an old hole, and put to screws in to stable this and then put lights around the star- outside on a house or maybe a window inside- idk 🤷‍♀️- looks great!

@sandramyer7081 Год назад

It’s was Sandra Myer watching this craft for Christmas or holiday! FUN!

I agree with the “this is not their first language” for Arne and Carlos videos - I love their videos as well and respect them for doing these in English. Their videos and yours are my favorites. Thank you for these. Your star looks wonderful, great job

@gilscot100 3 года назад

Thanks for the trip to town. The star is lovely - a beacon shining out into the dark wintery night.

@louiserule1358 3 года назад

Hi Kate, it was through Arne’s and Carlos’s RU-vid channel that I first heard about your channel. How lucky am I? So now your channel and their channel are my “go-to” channels on RU-vid. There are quite a few other channels that I enjoy, but yours and theirs are just so interesting, with never a boring moment, and I always learn something new. Thank you so very much for taking the time to film wee bits of your life for your followers to enjoy. Bless you!

@janeahrens6834 3 года назад

I loved seeing the countryside as you drove to and from town to purchase your materials. Your mounted star looked beautiful with the light mottled by the irregular stone on the wall of your house. You made it look so easy to construct as you wielded your drill like a pro. What a charming Christmas decoration!

Just a suggestion, a coat or two of polyurethane to protect the wood from the weather. It looks great. I thinking I'll have to add one to my lights.

@joharmon2148 3 года назад

Great job Kate, looks fabulous above the stained glass window which I adore. If you haven't seen Arni and Carlos's new video you will love it! Arni learned how to make cookies talk about laughter I really enjoyed it so much and it really lifted my spirits along with your wonderful star.

@elizshultz6602 3 года назад

I loved your star. I also watch Arne and Carlos make the star and bought the wood for my grandson(9) and I to build as a surprise for my Son and Daughter-in-law . I wish this year especially everyone world wide would light a star. I live in the USA small town in Pennsylvania.

@catherinekhalili6386 3 года назад

Glad you have guys that come by and help you with ladders! Beautiful star 🌟

@jenniferjohnson9335 3 года назад

Arne & Carlos pointed me to you! With apologies to Carlos, you are a tad more adept with power tools and I love your star as much as theirs. I want to make this--it looks like something I could handle. Well, done!

VERY COOL KATE.....I watched Arnie & Carlos build their star & now watched you build yours!! LOOKS WONDERFULLY BRIGHT, WARM & BEAUTIFUL!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the little bits of shopping and the drive in the car. Barry did a great job, he is so handsome & kind. Very nice star. 😊⭐

@katherinefischer5747 3 года назад

Kate, if you decide to make this again as a gift, consider measuring the string of lights to determine the halfway point; then you can more easily insure that half the lights go on the first half of the star and half on the second. Another wonderful episode!

@LucindaL413 3 года назад

How beautiful! I love the drive through your countryside. ❤️

Arne and Carlos sent me! Very enjoyable!! Love the cat!! When I had to use 50 lb. sacks, I would take two others out there and split them in half. It meant I had to unload 4 sacks but it worked!

Can I just tell you how much your smile uplifts me?! I live in the U.S. and the last few days have been especially painful and worrisome on top of Covid. Watching your videos feels like visiting with a good friend and might I add that you have so inspired me to start quilting again! Thanks for all that you do, you are appreciated.
