[@lindabirkes-lance8915]

Mondays just are dull, then Sherry comes on and there is something fun to watch.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Linda! What a sweet comment!😊

[@valeriemacrae8441]

Your ideas in your videos just make my day with each one I watch. You are so gifted with your God given talent. I can’t pick a favorite in this video as each one I would love to create with your ideas. I think I said this before and will say again I feel so blessed that you left your former career and decided to do utube. So much creativity on and on and on. God bless

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Valerie! You are so very kind!

[@DoubleAFleaMarket]

You are by FAR the most creative crafter on KZbin. I mean it. I watch ALL of the others & you stand out for your creativity, talent, staying on topic, no weird product promotions, no nonsense. Thank you!!!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you! That is such a kind comment. I do try to make videos that I would want to watch.

[@henrysusiezacharias5656]

I loved the embroidery wrapped pumpkins! Such a special way to save someone’s beautiful work!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much!

[@karenstone4475]

Me too!! I know just what to use to make one!!

[@cherylstark99]

Sherry, I can't pick a favorite. I loved every single one. You out did yourself. . Thanks for the inspiration.

[@valeriemacrae8441]

Love to see your kitty interested in what mama is doing

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Valerie! She is such a sweet cat.😻

[@ginamccracken5380]

KZbin is not allowing me to give you a thumbs up on your video. 😢 I love everything you do, Sherry and always look forward to your videos because you are the only person I've found that shares the exact carbon copy decorating style as I. We are both old souls with a passion, understanding and appreciation for decor from long ago. 😊❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Gina! Too bad we can’t go antique shopping together; we would have so much fun!

[@PatriciaValentini-r9w]

Oh Sherry, you don’t disappoint. So glad you’re on KZbin. You make my Monday. Love it all. 💕💕🫶🏻

[@beverleygorman3096]

Love all 30 projects but the owl was my favourite

[@zeus5814]

Love the birds

[@mariagonzalez6318]

Todas las creaciones muy lindas.La de cemento espectacular❤❤❤❤❤

[@kerryclare3456]

My favorite is the pop can leaf project! I have created many things with old pop cans. Cutting out leaves while watching videos is a relaxing project, ❤ and the end product is such a satisfying art piece!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Kerry! I wish I could think of some other things to make from old pop cans. I made a Christmas tree once, but I didn’t like it as much as the leaves.

[@shannoncook9915]

Gosh, I am always in awe of everything you do. I can't wait for fall, my favorite season! 🍁

[@CanterburyCottage]

It really did feel like fall this past week, but the hot weather is returning. I don’t care. I’m still going to the apple orchard this week! I’ve got to stretch out fall for as long as possible!

[@susanlamb5139]

You must have been making these every minute of the day all week. SO many little projects. You are so creative! Thanks for all the ideas!

[@connietowler3725]

Love the clock with the little mouse and the wagon with the wheels, so darling. Always love your videos. Thank you 🎃

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks so much. Connie! 😊

[@vickinoeske1154]

The topiary looks so elegant and expensive. As a centerpiece on a dining table with different height candles placed up and down the table, it would be beautiful.🧡🤎🧡

[@vlrissolo]

Well Sherry, that was just FUN! Yes, I love the thrifted pieces the most🎃

[@nancyrogalewski4017]

I can't pick a favorite. All I know is in my stash I have everything I need to make several of these beautiful and unique decor projects so I'm off to get started! Thank you for the inspiration.

[@irenetovar7756]

It's hard to say, which I liked best, but I think I agree with you on the clock with the precious little mouse.

[@conniedelvigna9427]

Without a doubt, my fave is the alarm clock with pumpkins and mouse.

[@kathyallen6238]

I have a small heat gun that I use when I decoupage napkins or rubber stamped and colored tissue paper to my candles; I'm much less liable to burn myself that way! I enjoyed all of your projects, as usual!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks for sharing this idea, Kathy! I haven’t used my heat gun on candles, but I’m sure it’s safer, so I’ll give it a try.

[@terryhiggins7250]

The pumpkin wagon was my favorite but loved several ideas. Fall is my favorite decorating time!🎃

[@patdrenowatz8773]

OMG!!! I love the pumpkin & Beads together 🎉 the embroidery covered pumpkin is GORGEOUS 😯😯

[@nancyomond3996]

I love the oil lantern, cement pumpkin, ceramic owl, soda can maple leaves, and the clock!! Sherry, I could shop in your stash!!! 😂

[@debbievanhoecke3727]

Love what you did with the plastic pumpkin and concrete.

[@gailrhodes2859]

The clock pumpkin was adorable!!

[@carolweiss8795]

How many times have I said how amazing you are!? It’s hard to pick a favorite but I’m really liking the lantern and the alarm clock!

[@lindawaguespack6735]

Just love the needlepoint pumpkin

[@helenlouise_]

30 projects! You are a force to be reckoned with! It was a parade of Fall inspiration ❤ My favourites were the plaster of Paris leaf garland and the first wooden bowl (2) orange pumpkin.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Helen! 😊

[@deborahpalm7657]

I love the concrete pumpkin and the awesome "rusty" pumpkin. This video gave me a lot of inspiration for decorating my house this Fall season.

[@kimberley56]

Wowzer! The taco shells are brilliant! Love all your diys! I antique waxed a raw wood stool. I think I got to heavy handed and forgot to wipe off excess, so I loss the wood grain. I will use it for a plant stand. I much prefer to watch the talents such as yourself DIY. Hugs 🌞Fl.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Kimberley! If you want to remove some of the dark wax, you can use mineral spirits on a rag and wipe some of it off. You can also use olive oil on a rag to remove some of the wax.

[@misslannie73]

My favourite is the alarm clock pumpkin! It’s just so whimsical. Thanks Sherry for the inspiration. Take care darling. Charlotte xx🇬🇧

[@brendahorton4907]

Sherri, your projects are so amazingly beautiful. I love all the projects but the old kerosene lamp touched my heart! You are so gifted and I love your videos. God Bless.

[@halieruppe1710]

Logging in right on time for my favorite KZbinr!!!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you! Hope you enjoy today’s video!

[@lydialangfordjoiner765]

You know I love your ideas Sherry- you are a SuperStar! Mondays tend to sabotage my ability to view at 4 but I do as soon as I can. It’s always a treat. A “favorite” is too hard to pick- they are all so clever! For Autumn, I do love the look of the wooden bowl pumpkin but the poem swag is close to my heart. Thank you very much!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Good morning, Lydia! I always appreciate your kind and supportive comments. I’m so glad you enjoyed today’s video.

[@itzasunnyday4me]

Fantastic ideas! All the different flower arrangements were top notch. My favorite was the orb/candlestick topiary; very original and high end. TFS

[@marymcghee3023]

Pumpkin is the coolest! Ironing the leaves in wax paper is something I did in school as a child. You are just amazing. The things you come up with are beyond anything most of us can think of. You have such a creative mind.

[@menm_91]

I have never in my LIFE seen a glue stick this big 😳😯 That garland was so cute!! It gives me an excuse to use all the fall leaves I collect (hoard) 😁

[@shirleyplummer8286]

Their were too many excellent projects I could not pick just one. You are so creative.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Shirley! 😊

[@elizabethrocha975]

Sherry, I am impressed as usual by all of your creative ideas; I especially liked the poetry garland which reminded me of my old days in the classroom. I can close my eyes and picture my students as they learned and reviewed Shakespearean/British sonnet structure, figurative language, rhyme scheme, and meaning. Shakespeare's "Sonnet 73" is a perfect example for this type of exercise. Thanks again for reminding me of my former love. Your Virtual Neighbor, Liz

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Elizabeth! Your words are making me miss teaching, too! Unfortunately, I rarely read poetry these days.

[@terriallen2537]

Oh Sherry!!! 1st I was thrilled when I saw this video was 40+ mins. Wow, I always love everything you revamp and create. I tell you this a lot but it's true, your talent is above and beyond the norm. You've given me so much inspiration over the past few years. I appreciate all you do for us and your channel. I am unable to pick a fave since I love so many of these projects. Thanks for sharing😊

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, Terri, you are always so very kind. I am so glad that you enjoyed today’s video. I LOVE fall, so you’re sure to see even more autumn decor.

[@davidacugino9268]

The aluminum leaves blew me away. Love your channel.

[@cynthiagraven3343]

You must be the most creative person I’ve watched on KZbin, always so inspiring! I think my favorite was the framed blackbird prints, although I loved the owl also. I love birds, books, and flowers, so your ideas always appeal to me.

[@markhudachek1554]

You amaze me every time with your original creations & joy. God bless you, love Mary

[@charlenegriffis5900]

Sherry, you are just amazingly talented! I love to see what you come up with. I’m never disappointed either. This is an incredible video full of inspiration. Oh my! The owl is stunning. Concrete pumpkin, I could go on and on. Thank you so much for great video. 😊❤👍🎃

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Charlene! I love fall, so all of these projects were fun for me to make!

[@Laurel-h6c]

I love your positive attitude and your artistic flare. It’s so fun to watch

I am always amazed at your creativity. I also love birds. I am working on a gallery wall of birds in my living room. Thanks for all your inspiration.

[@jolenereader1610]

Oh my gosh, my husband and I are going to make those cute cement pumpkin’s!

[@hopealdridge9584]

Love each one....no way can I pick just one !!!! 😺

[@tamaraatkinson940]

You spoil us Sherry, giving us so many great projects in one go! I love the pumpkin alarm clock. Your assemblages are always a learning moment…when you glue together several items and make a whole new piece. The bowl pumpkin at the beginning was also a favorite. And, of course, it’s fun to see your nosy cat checking out the progress.

[@katherinepereira9088]

30 remarkable craft ideas! Sherry, these are awesome. I decided to choose 5 favorites: the wood bowl pumpkin; the needlepoint pumpkin; the autumn topiary; the decoupaged candles and the concrete pumpkin. I love pumpkins! Really enjoyed this longer video!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Katherine! I’m so glad you liked the topiary. It was one of those projects that I just made up as I went along (not knowing where it was going to end up), so I was surprised it turned out so cute.

[@chalmadanes405]

Perfect idea for old spools of twine/thread.

[@PeggyWirick]

I’m going to the concrete pumpkin with my granddaughters! Thank you!

[@CanterburyCottage]

It’s messy, but it was actually much easier than I expected! Have fun!

[@melindashahan6836]

I LOVE your videos!! They always make my Monday! Loved the clock best too! I've been picking up thrifted clocks to use for crafts. Love your ideas!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Melinda! I have a big wall clock that I have been saving. I want to use it for Christmas decor, but it would be perfect for Halloween decor, too. I wish I had two of them!

Omgosh! I have been wracking my brain on how to age terra cotta pots! THANK YOU!! So many projects I want to make…you are so amazing!❤

Love the wooden bowl pumpkin! But the mouse alarm clock stole the show for me! I’m off to find what I need for that project! Thanks for your wonderful budget friendly ideas!!

So many great projects!! Thank you Sherry for all the ideas. I will have to watch again to decide which ones I am going to try.

[@kristieoren1294]

First project in… you’re ridiculously CREATIVE!!!!

[@leem200]

My fav is the needle point pumpkin. I liked all of them. The owl was really good too. Loved the wheelbarrow one too. The cement pumpkin was good too. Love the crochet thread pumpkins. I may make some of them. The lantern was also a big one for me. Geeze it is hard to pick a favorite, you out did yourself this time. All were good!!!!!! Peace!

[@lanet9442]

I love the jack-o-lantern wagon..darling

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Lanet! 😊

[@tinabennett8524]

Thanks again, I’m wanting to get busy crafting, as soon as the garden’s finished 🤗using cheap plastic items is a great idea! They’re easy to find.

Won’t you please make more videos per week? You know like 4 or 5 a week?!!! You are so much fun to watch. AWESOME ideas

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Mickey! I wish I could make videos faster, but after three years on KZbin I’m still only able to make one video a week.

[@gailallen2895]

Always hard to decide but I really liked the black birds..candles wrapped with napkins and the leaf garland. Really like how you staged the owl. Items sell out so quickly on your site.

[@alynneredmon9560]

Could you fashion eyeglasses from wire for your owl? That would make him a wise old owl. Thanks for all you share,you are so talented, and my favorite site.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Alynne! I love the idea of adding glasses to the owl!!!❤️

[@maryellenyork2819]

I especially like the decorated balls of string.

[@joburrow9863]

I do not know where you live but we live in North Carolina and It’s not beginning to feel or look like Fall yet. I know this video is going to inspire me and i I thank you for sharing, I love all your neat “STUFF”!

All of your creations are spectacular but today's is the concrete pumpkin! I'll definitely make one 😊

I bought the owl last year and is the pride of my dark academia fall decor.

[@mikki3961]

I love the cement pumpkin! It has inspired me to use cement in some cheap plastic toys to use as planters!

[@CanterburyCottage]

I was thinking that you could use a doll’s head in the same way to make a creepy planter for Halloween. This project was so easy but messy!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, KB!😊

[@helenaw9533]

So many great ideas! Too many favorites but the top faves are the candlestick topiary, twig table runner, owl, and pumpkin & bead garland. I live in the country so I have no shortage of twigs, leaves, and acorns, but my acorns never get as large as yours. I'd love those larger caps you have. I had an idea for the two bowl pumpkin - instead of gluing them together, glue a few small wood cubes around the inside of the top bowl, creating a lid that wouldn't slip off. Then your pumpkin could be used as a candy bowl or other storage. Oh, and I'm making the clock. I have one that has sat for years waiting for a project that was never done. My idea was completely different but I think it needs velvet pumpkins!

Hi Sherry, In my small home I do not have much room for craft making as of yet. I am hoping someday to have my own patio but as of now i do not have any outdoor space. My kitchen is so very small and I do not even have kitchen cabinets. I literally have only one small counter for food prep and i have pots and pans in the frig. I have a bookcase my Dad made in 1973 i use for my Mom's cookbooks and pie plates other bakeware and some crafts. I am going to make a shelf system with crates i have always kept fabric in. This was my last resort of a place i could afford in a very expensive area and still live near my Dad who recently started having health issues. I can walk to his house and I can walk to the little historic town I live in. I am on vac this week. Out of all your projects on this video I think my favorite are the tin leaves. I have made many arrangements with sticks and branches. I have Arizona Ice Tea cans on hand because I make tin earrings outbof the cherry blossom front with my tin snips. I have loved leaves since i was a little girl living in the country with my parents. I think the acid ink in golds and oranges woukd be nice on the leaves too if you wanted to add some shimmery colors but, to keep it simple and true to your idea i very much want to make your idea. I havr a vintage crock of my Mom i will put my sticks in and this year i plan to decorate her Harvest Tredle table. I was very sad last Thanksgiving i did not decorate first time ever and didn't decorate much for Christmas either. When I started at my job 20 years ago this past June the office they gave me (I am the only female in my dept) was very dirty. No one cleaned it prior to my starting there. In the metal cabinet shoved to the back hidden behind boxes of dried up markers is a beautiful rod iron black bird cage and from the base looks like it was orig on a stand. Attached to the bird cage are beautiful rod iron little birds. It was caked in fine gray body shop dust. I washed it off in the ladies room and took it to my new boss. I held it up and asked whose it belonged to and he said its mine if i want it. He saud he never knew ot was black. 🤔 He said it was in a trunk of a car that was totaled in an accident and the owner of the car never came within the 30 days to get her belongings. My Mom loved it when she saw it at my apartment and then when I movrd in with her in 2019 she put it on the opposite side of her hearth where she had a vintage black metal lantern. I now have her lantern. I hope to find a Fall garland at the Good Will to wrap around the bird cage i think that would be sweet. At the Good Will tge other day i was in line with small pieces of scrap lumber and wood blocks but, the line was long and I was having a low blood sugar attack and had to leave quickly. I planned on going back today. I never looked at other areas of the store i onky go to look when I have a need with my monthly home payment being so high. Well, i have been watching your videos since 6 am and just noticed its 8:35. This is my last day of vac and i want to try to be very constructive today. I want to finish my kitchen and foyer. I havent any clue how to make better storage in the liu. I have a pedestal sink and the vintage nlack and white tile floor. I am overwhemed in my 610 sq ft flat. 3rd floor and Mo elevator. I am tge only onr in the 3rd floor with a railing and a small landing i want to ask if i can decorate. Wonderful ideas on this video. Blessings, Rebekah
