Sherry, I usually enjoy your videos because your ideas and ingenuity are so inspiring. Today is no different, but after a particularly trying day, I find myself appreciating your calm voice and lovely music, too. Thank you for these great ideas presented in such a lovely way!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, Marilyn, that is so sweet of you to say! Some of my viewers complain that I talk too slowly, so it is really encouraging that other viewers actually enjoy my voice. Hope the rest of your week will be less trying. (I certainly remember coming home after a particularly bad day of teaching feeling exhausted. I used to watch reruns of the “The Big Bang Theory” which always made me laugh.)

Oh, thank you, Mikki! You are such a sweetheart! 😊 You can also make similar little stick bundles to hang on your tree.

[@jillhumphrys8073]

No kidding! I live in a farm with woods directly behind my house. The hill is covered with cedar trees, so it's fun to take the limb loppers to the hill and cut branches for making wreaths for doors or swags for inside. It will dry over the course of December, but they keep their color. Just be careful taking them down bc they can make a mess.

[@MOrtiz-tm4qe]

After watching this video, I just want to go to the attic and start decorating for Christmas. Love every single one of the crafts.

Oh, those sheet music spindle candle holders. If I don't have something I can use in the garage, I will go get something. I L-O-V-E-D them! I don't think I have any of those candle pans, but hubby could drill out a circle for me with his wood drills. I also liked the triangle decoration with sheet music and the bird...I live near two trees that are always dropping branches so I'll sneak out in the dead of night and swipe them.

This video is absolutely FULL of wonderful ideas! I could not pick one favorite because I loved all of them. The use of the yard branches were superb! My problem is my husband is VERY OCD! He literally picks up pine cones and branches in our yard before I can get to them. NOT kidding. Lol. I’ll have to ask him to set some aside for me. Keep up the great videos. They make my day.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! Holy cow, snowflakes are 6-sided! I should have left two sticks off! Why didn’t I know this?! I did sort of think it looked more like a star than a snowflake-now, I know why!

[@nowvoyagerNE]

@@CanterburyCottage hehehe! a few years back, i used tissue paper to cut delicate snow flakes like the thicker ones we used to do as kids in school, and folding the delicate paper into 6 even sides is an art unto its self, lol. i was so hoping to see the mitten / snow ball i suggested when watching a video from last year (do you remember that you said you were going to write it down, i think in an idea book?) you are such an artist! i am not very crafty and 2-D art eludes me, but i do sketch and paint on occasion. thank you for these wonderful creations! P.S. stars are good too. 😌

[@CanterburyCottage]

I do remember the mitten/snowball idea! I love your idea! It is actually on the list of projects I want to do for Christmas this year. I am doing a video of just ornaments the first Monday in November, so that is likely when I will include it. I can’t tell you how annoyed I am that my “snowflake” has eight arms! I want to break off two! 😜

Outstanding episode! Hats off to you for uber charm and simplicity. I particularly love the way that you are able to arrange your treasures into such charming vignettes. For some reason I seem to end up with cute decor pieces that I don't have any idea of how to group into a pleasing whole. I see how you do it, and I suppose that I could imitate each individual look, but I was wondering if you would consider doing a video teaching the less talented (me) some basics that you use, and how you use them. For example, if you had ten "work horses" that you go to over and over and how you think about putting them together with your new items.

[@CanterburyCottage]

I kept saying to myself that “this one is definitely my favorite” and then you’d do another one I liked just as much or more. The 4x4 candle pillars are fantastic and the triangles with the birds are just so beautiful but the trees and the glitter and the fake snow…oh gosh, I can’t choose a favorite so I’m going to save this video so I can watch it over and over. We lost s huge limb in a wind storm about a month ago so I have plenty of sticks piled up for the fire pit and also a lot of 4x4 pieces left over from replacing the fence that we lost in a previous storm this year. (It’s been a bad year for so many of us from the storms this year but the bright side is having so much wood, old and new, to reuse.). Thank you for always having so many amazing ideas for us. 💕
