[@vbickel6109]

Our weeks don’t start on Mondays - they start on Tuesday mornings with you and your wonderful crafting ideas! Thank you SO much for the fun and encouragement you bring to your viewers Sherry!!

[@ginalouisedesigns8826]

💕💕💕💕 Me tooooooo!!!! 💕💕💕💕

[@debbiem4836]

It is so very true that the week starts on Tuesdays. I always feel sad on Wednesday morn.

[@deborahnewton1694]

Loved this video❤❤❤

[@julesa.5887]

Truth!

[@linp1268]

Well said!!!!

[@sarahrenfrow9795]

I GUESSED IT! That’s what I would have kept, too. Sheri, you cannot imagine (in my retired, dull, stay at home, widowed life) how much Tuesday mornings mean to me! I look forward to seeing you from one Tuesday to the next. Just know, you spread sunshine in probably a lot of lives. Enjoyed all of the projects. Thanks for sharing

[@CanterburyCottage]

I am so glad that are enjoying my channel! I hope this week will be one full of sunshine for you! ☀️

[@lauramccall5892]

I too am retired and widowed and have always loved being busy so I have a new lease on life repurposing some of my stash of vintage things!

[@vickidunkle3698]

Oh my goodness the click shelf I'll bet was everyone's pick!

[@vickidunkle3698]

Well last.porject tells me at the start I would have had to keep the little house too! What a gorgeous project!

[@vickidunkle3698]

Clocks ? Clocks ? My second obsession!

[@terrymcmanus9086]

Sherry, you are amazing and so creative. I would love to see what you can do with thrifted tea pots. I never miss your videos, and look forward to Tuesday morning all week long 🥰

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, Terry, I love that idea! I have several tea kettles and ceramic pitchers in my stash. I’m writing this idea down right now before I forget.😂

[@atticusandnofriends8481]

Me too

[@atticusandnofriends8481]

[@bonniebrown6818]

Tea pots would be wonderful. I have a collection of them that just sit on a shelf.

[@kindashabby]

I loved each repurposed clock, but the “kitchen themed” upcycles were my favorite!

[@annenickmom]

Good Morning Sherry. I really like this collection of themed projects and I'm sure that there's at least one favorite for nearly every viewer. Even though the theme is repurposing old clocks, an underlying benefit of today's video is the encouragement to dig through our stash and create something beautiful or fanciful out of what we might already have. Thanks for continuing to teach us how to use our creative imaginations and then fearlessly bring projects to fruition!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you for those kind words, Nancy! Reading your comments made me realize that I did not buy anything new for this video-everything was in my stash! Unfortunately, I didn’t even make a dent in it!😜

[@annenickmom]

For perspective, I would offer that having a 'rich' stash is the vehicle for enabling your creative outcomes, so as long as it hasn't overtaken your house and you are relegated to living in a tent in the back yard, your stash is simply bits and pieces of dormant creativity. I love this quote attributed to A. Einstein: "Creativity is intelligence having fun." So, Ms. Sherry, enjoy having fun every day!

[@christineherold3170]

Couldn't agree more!!

[@terryciavola5962]

Sherry you are brilliant! Your talent continues to grow. Everything is gorgeous! Can’t pick a favorite, love them all!! 🥰

[@reneeharris3072]

Holy 🐄 your clock projects are beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@janhaley1212]

I would have kept the jello mold clock! Love it!

[@ts-eu6mp]

locks. I have my Grandfather's bedside small clock and it is set on the time that decades ago he had the alarm set! I love it. I gave Daddy a traveling clock he wanted. He left us 2 of his watches. At the living estate sale, the people running it were dishonest and Grandad's pocket watch, his old rifle that he would use during the depression when he needed to feed his family in that way, and there was a pistol, too, that was special. Pocket watches are generally more sentimental than valuable but this one was REAL. My Grandad was Super high-up and well-connected in FL. with the Electric Company and we had Reddi Kilowatt pins, all of us Grandkids. So it was for real-not just a metal painted gold! And the old rifle had a history-it had belonged to his Father and the pistol also, for whatever reason was also special and valuable. The people underpriced many things, did not bring enough people to watch everything-in fact, she had her daughter and her husband the night before and then they left and it was only this woman outside under an umbrella taking money! I had warned my Mother about these very people. I had some bad experiences with them at their shops in town-and realized they were unscrupulous but came off as the biggest Christians there ever was! I had also been bitten by a brown recluse spider, when trying on some clothes in her daughter's little clothing section. I looked up at the ceiling in the dressing room and the dropped down ceiling, which was damaged, was teeming with spiders! Wow, that was so creepy. But I was undressed already and tried to turn and face that huge nest but had been bitten on my-ahem-derriere, and the Dr. said that was exactly what it was. I let them know so they could fix the problem-I never threatened her or had any intention of doing so. It was just so they could fix the problem and keep others from being bitten, too. It hurts! She called me and old me her really smart brother had looked at them and swore they were not blown recluses. I know them when I see them-very well! But her "very smart" brother had the last word as she told me and those were the last wot]rds I had for her. I think I ended by saying, "Please just fix your ceiling in the dressing room. That is all I wanted you to know." She was still scoffing when we ended the phone call. And I heard her on the phone gossiping for the longest time when I went into that antique shop. That was disconcerting. Her Mother was a person who, once again, portrayed herself as a huge old Christian, like her husband and her perfect daughter, perfect very smart son-don't know how big the family is/was. And, some of the incredible pieces my Mother and Dad had did not get 'sold' but lo and behold, again, when the day was over, the large and beautiful and fine objects, an entire bedroom set, a gigantic antique cupboard with glass doors on top and covered storage in the bottom and other lovely and some small expensive items- got sold to--Her Friends! When they "weren't sold" at the end of the day, she just called her friends and they came to get them-at a reduced price! And they did not have the people there, as I said, to keep people from meandering throughout the entire house. It was supposed to be several rooms and had wonderful things--but I saw a lady from my church-good grief, going into a drawer she should not have opened-that the people did not tape shut- and she bought for cheap some lovely and extraordinary foreign pieces in one original box-and on her way out, said to me, "I got the most expensive thing here." I said nothing. My Mother would have been embarrassed if I had but I really almost bit my tongue off. I think Mother realized later that I had told the whole truth and nothing but the truth and realized, too late, that they had been plundered. Yes, they made some money. But not nearly what they should have made. And it was because of the big ol Christian people that made it happen and allowed it to happen. I felt so sorry for my parent's- someone had fooled my Father- as he was going into some dementia and was just so darn nice anyway. We couldn't prove it-and their emotional well-being was of paramount importance, so we stayed, helped and bought things, too. But it was a terrible experience. I appreciate people like you who are so creative, giving and helpful. Thank you! Terri

You had me at the first clock!!! 💕

I absolutely freakin LOVE LOVE LOVE the last clock makeover!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@pegeen6634]

I really liked the ornate wooden clock less piece. And I thought you would pick this on for yourself! It turned out so well❣️ some of my favs were the resin redo, the jello mold one was very creative and I’ve been thinking of scales, so the small scale you turned out was delightful💜 And last but not lease the Fairy clock❗️So creative you are. Always a joy to watch you & your videos 🤗🤩😻🕊️

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Pegeen! I really did want to keep the ornate wooden clock, too! 😜

[@MamaT160]

Well, all I can say is trash becomes treasure in your hands, Sherry! Loved seeing the old clocks revived.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Jolynn!

[@martyhadley2137]

Hi Sherry I love the clock that you made into a house 🏡. You are so talented and inspire to do more crafting! I. See ya in you next video! Take care and be safe! Marty

[@alisonsmith7162]

Hi Sherry from Australia. Loved the needlepoint flowers in the frame.

[@myhillslife27]

I like the glass frame and embroidery frames

[@sandyheredia3027]

That😊 kitchen clock I think was my favorite

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Sandy! 😊

[@priscillawitwer3140]

Hi Sheri! I thought for sure that you would have chosen the resin clock. I love the wreath with the tiny flowers, and animals! So charming! All of your projects were so nice. It would be difficult to choose just one!

[@opryman9]

I love the one you kept but i also love the fairy house

[@carmenacevedi3876]

Thank you for beautifull ideas 💡. PRAYER MOVES EVWRYTHING SO LETS PRAY. HAVE A BLESSED DAY.

[@candytwodeer8138]

The Black Forest clock is what I chose and you chose it too.

[@lizhoward9754]

Sherry, you are definitely the magic clock lady. Love how you transformed them!

[@cherylweso]

I really like the shelf you kept. But that jello mold kitchen clock would have a home on my shelf!

[@raquelgondocs8429]

Hi Sherry, I chose all of them! They’re all beautiful pieces. Thank you for your great ideas!

[@linp1268]

Dear Sherry, I just turned 60 but while I watch your videos, I suddenly start talking like a teenager and say, "That's so Crazy good" because every week I am in disbelief of all the ideas you come up with. This is really your calling. I loved the ornate wall shelf you kept, as well as the resin clock and the very first one you did. It is always such a joyful time when I watch you. Thanks for adding so much pleasure to all of our Tuesdays!! 🤗💖🤗

[@emc2862]

I too love clocks, birds, butterflies, books, greenery, and ephemera! I was giddy watching this video. I want to make all of these projects! LOVE the pendulum clock with the bird and nest and sheet music! The embroidery hoop with fabric was unique, and that rose art is beautiful! You got 3 projects out of ONE thrifted clock! I love the jello mold clock too, perfect for the kitchen. I want to make a scale and stick a birds nest on top. The fairy house is too cute, on both sides!

[@jessicarae2109]

I would love to see how you upcycle old salt and pepper shakers!

[@karenandcatz2915]

I love clocks too! But even more, I love Tuesday because I get to be inspired by your amazing, creative ideas! Thanks!!! 😺

[@cherylberry1613]

My favorite was the needlepoint with those beautiful raspberry colored violets in the green clock frame. Gorgeous!

[@myhillslife27]

I like the first clock frame

[@ChicagoDreamer5]

I would have kept the same clock that you kept. Breathtakingly beautiful. You made it into something lovely. I can't help but shudder each time I see you paint beautiful wood, like in that clock. But it turned out pretty. Great job.

[@jeannieb.bright]

I have just found your channel, and must say your videos are uniquely wonderful. It"s easy to see why you win awards.

[@deannamuzingo3499]

Good morning, Sherry. There is no end to your creativity! Each of the items was very good and it would have been hard to choose. The one you chose was perfect. I look forward to each Tuesday for your newest video. Thank you for each craft idea.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Good morning, Deanna! Thank you for those kind words. I really want to keep the resin clock, too. It is hard to keep my booth stocked if I continue to keep everything that I make! 😜

[@lamarawilliams-jones9289]

Do you get any good sleep at night? I wake up often. With your ideas and mine! A bit of sleep never hurts when it comes to crafts. Agree?

[@CanterburyCottage]

I am actually a good sleeper. I always have been. Occasionally, (when I’ve had too much caffeine, probably) I have trouble sleeping and my mind races from one idea to another. I have come up with a few good ideas in the middle of the night, but I’d rather get a good night’s sleep!😜

[@Wedow12]

[@joanwallace1373]

I know I say this every time I watch you making your projects...but...I just love everything you create. The quiet clock is my favorite.

[@pdl50]

Sherry, I shake my head during every video over your creativity. I absolutely loved the antique clock you took all of the parts out of and added the nest and twigs. Honestly, I would find a place for every one of these creations. The one you decided to keep is beautiful. Knowing how much you love botanicals I thought your favorite would have been either the IOD transfer or the gorgeous needlepoint. I will never stop being amazed by your beautiful works of art. The little house at the end was also just adorable complete with kitty on the steps. 🥰

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Patricia! I don’t even know how I acquired that little cat, but I thought he belonged on those steps.

[@pdl50]

@@CanterburyCottage oh, he definitely did belong on the steps. It made it a home.

[@OurGreeneAcres]

What a fun video and each clock was so different and unique! I think my favorite was the first one with the pendulum clock. Can you believe the one you chose to keep was something you had been storing in your garage and it ended up being your favorite project! It was just waiting for the perfect creative idea to come along. I loved that quilt clock too. You truly are amazing at thinking outside the box and inspiring us to do the same❤️ I am going to be picking up more clocks now! I will talk to you soon! Luv, T.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, T! You are so kind. You are such an inspiration to me, too! I look forward to all of your videos!

[@karolynlove2796]

I am in awe, just in AWE at your brilliance in repurposing anything into such lovely, decorative pieces that are so appropriate for any lifestyle!! you totally make me want to be able to see what you "see" when you purchase or hold on to pieces...even if that piece doesn't get used for a bit and then you have that "Aha" moment! Thank you so much for your videos...I love, love them!!

[@ginacrusco234]

Sherry, you're a genius. One project was more delightful than the next! I had a super hard time deciding which one I thought you might want to keep, but seeing a house number on the Fairy House led me to believe it might be your home address and that you'd keep this piece. I'm writing this, of course, before you announce which one you're going to keep...
