All Change at The Last Homely House! And the RAINBOW CANDLES!

I love working with Anna! She is so organised and tidy which are two words no-one has ever said about me. Turning a messy spare room into the Shipping Room took us a few weeks and has made so much difference. I will no longer have to clear my work table every month in order to pack the new shop product.
And the new shop product for May is these lovely RAINBOW CANDLES from my friend Ted's workshop in Cumbria. You can watch the videos where I have visited him in the past here on this playlist.

The candles will be live in the shop at the same time as this video

All the usual things are in the shop - books, cards, pins, tea towels, virtual downloads and now these lovely treats.

This was such a lovely video. It is wonderful to see you prospering in all good things. The quilt on your sofa makes my heart sing! It is gorgeous in its scrap-happiness. Would you mind giving us a quick tutorial in how it was made? My favorite method of quilting is simply piecing bazillions of small scraps together in whatever pattern strikes my fancy at the time. The more scraps, the better! I call them my “Life Quilts”...A little bit of this and a little bit of that all adds up to a life well lived. And you, my dear, are an excellent example of a life well lived. Thank you!

[@dwaynecuster]

The "royalty free" music starting up after Kate closed the computer was hilarious! I was laughing so hard. :-)

[@Tallen-xk7dm]

Same here! That was soooo funny!!! Silly Alexa!!

[@candacenagle505]

I could so relate....dealing with Alexa is complicated for some of us. My SIL informed me that I don't need to thank Alexa after a request.....

[@jenniferfarsh675]

Me too!! Hilarious

[@WhatVivididnext]

Hahaha, me too! 😉

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I have to tell you that is my Dad's Alexa - he moved into residential care and I brought it home with me - I have never really got the hang of using it - as you can see - I tried to stop it by yelling at it! But Anna knows how to use it. But I am hearing that Alexa's all over the world responded which has give me the wicked idea of a FEATURE!!!!!! ha ha!

[@smallfootprint2961]

Glad to see that you take a little nap each day. It renews the body and soul. Love your room. So fun to see you knitting there in such a special place. Nice light from the windows. Good that you have Anna. She's a peach.

[@craftyazshabbyshacjude3297]

What a Team,...you are so so blessed to have Anna with you, you make an awesome Team xx

[@barbarawilliams8523]

Kate you are so blessed to have a wonderful daughter-in-law like Anna. She is going to really enjoy working in this beautiful room

[@miriam4235]

And Anna is lucky with a lovely mother in law (with a chocolate drawer!). 😊 Both seem to be such lovely people.

[@charlotted6247]

Your sweet Anna is a tremendous blessing. What a special person and she gets to be your daughter in law. What a treasure. Kate, I dearly love your hair. I've had short hair like that for 30 years and then covid happens. Well mine has grown quite fast and is way down my back. Everyone keeps saying I should let it grow !! I guess I will admire yours and let mine grow. It's so thick I'd believe we could make 3 horse manes. Maybe I shall donate it to the place that makes wigs. I am loving your pink baskets. I am so happy for you that you have such an amazing space now to work in. God Bless you and your sweet family!!! Hug the cats. 🌼🌼🌼🌼😺😺😺😺

[@TheSabinewalkden]

You have the most loving relationship with Anna. You are so lucky John made her his wife. It must be so much better to have this room where you can keep everything away from your living area.

[@martaaberg3330]

What a lovely studio you and Anna have created. Mailing room just doesn't sound all-encompassing enough for all the peaceful working space you've got up there.

[@stephanie579]

I adore Kate so much and am always so happy when you do a video with a special guest … your relationship with Ana is amazing 👍👍

[@cynthiaroy9950]

I laughed out loud when you told Alexa to play music, she did, not music you liked, you turned her off, then closed the computer AND the music started up again!!! So funny! I love the space you both have designed. So cosy, but functional! Plus a great place for a nap, as you so wonderfully showed us! ❤️❤️

[@CaravelKiwi]

Yes, I need a comfy sofa just like that!

[@grumpy_poo]

big brother google is watching everything we do and say.... My friend has an 'Alexa'... we can be having a cuppa and conversation and Alexa will regularly pipe up and try to join in without ever being invited!!

[@misssassifras6605]

What a delightful space to work , knit, nap, and eat chocolate. You both make a great team. Congrats on making such a great use of this lovely space.

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

One plus one is three in a situation like this. How lovely and satisfying. And, I could even imagine how the rainbow candles were dipped, after the shop tours you've taken us on! 🌈

[@britdowson8324]

I burst out laughing when you told Alexa to play some music because my Alexa heard you and started playing the same. How lovely for you and Anna to have such a lovely relationship. Hugs to you both.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

oh - how funny! I think I should mess with Alexa's all over the world ha ha ha!!!!

[@ritabrunetti381]

Hello Kate & Anna. What great job you girls have done organizing this room. Anna, it's been nice seeing you on this channel with Kate. You are both so talented and you work well together. Love the candles. Be well.

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

The spoon hanger hooks...like in the treehouse. Love them. Wishing you and Anna continued happiness and joy in your partnership. My hubby asked why I started whispering around the house. I said I felt like someone was eavesdropping. He laughed, I laughed, Alexa laughed.

[@lynnvosloo2546]

What an excellent idea! Love the new spot for your office/ supplies. What a lovely daughter in law you have! You are two peas in a pod 👏👏👏

[@johilpert9149]

Such a bright lovely room. Great place to nap, pack, post, knit just lovely. Envy you Kate for the multiple trips up and down the stairs. Thank you for taking us along.

[@StormsEnd1604]

So much to love in this episode.... your relationship with Anna, the pink and green bins, order and tranquility for shipping going forward, a beautiful spot to knit, the candles, the tea and chocolate! ❤️from🇨🇦

[@paulagrnsy]

[@thomasmax4731]

That's so nice of you ,,,,,, hello 👋 how are you doing I hope you are having a wonderful day.

[@brookprinsen6746]

Well done Kate and Anna. Being organized leaves more space for creativity!

[@lw3396]

What a sweet setup! It is pretty, clean AND organized. I love how close you and Anna are. You would have been a dream mama in law for me, but I was not so blessed. I am glad you have a nice quiet organized space to work in. It doesn’t feel so much like work when you are doing it with someone you love. Best part of this video was you cuddled up on your sofa taking a nap at the end. You deserved it lol Love, Lita xxxx

[@lindawitherspoon446]

What a great room. Should work a treat. That Anna is a sweetheart.

[@tuthillg]

It's such a wonderful feeling to get clean and organized, isn't it? TFS the inspiration, Kate and Anna!

[@kathfinch9453]

The shipping room looks like it will serve you and Anna well. Thank you, Kate.

[@beverleysimmons8080]

Love seen Annie helping you she is a darling lady i love your room there so pretty with the colors you afghan warm and love the quilt behind you love to make one like that long weekend rain for us ho well lol. Have a good week enjoy the sun.

[@susanroutley6986]

Truly a cottage industry 😊

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

yes! in a cottage! who knew I'd need a shipping room? At least I have my sewing room back now! xxx

[@elletaylor9985]

I’ve just purchased 4 tea towels, I have a few birthdays coming up and every one of one of these ladies will love your tea towel. I wish I had an Anna to come and help me organise my space! The room looks great and is ideal for naps and knitting. I appreciate that there aren’t any ads in your videos as they would spoil the lovely relaxing feeling I get when I watch your videos.

[@jillbyron9774]

Kate i just love listening to you..but i love Anna also ...what a sweetheart...

[@JannekeKimstra]

What a lovely shippingroom you’ve got now, Kate and Anna! One tip I have though. Put things you use the most in an easy to reach place, not on the top shelf, so you won’t have to reach and stretch every time you need it.

[@StellaElan]

So very happy for you Kate! Occupy the whole house and be well!! Hi to the lovely Anna too!

[@brendaprest2636]

A job well done Kate and Anna. You work so well together which I think is rare between in laws. What a lovely 🥰 peaceful space, perfect for a little nap. Stay safe and I think I’ll have a nap on the lime green sofa.

[@chrisberry7712]

Girl power! Wonderful! And so very exciting! I feel motivated to get more organised too - thank you Kate & Anna!

[@hildejohnson7241]

I love to rim that's nice for good craft room and shipping and whatever else you use it for I like your haircut so y'all stay safe be careful stay warm and have fun crafting and looking good and thanks for sharing your video with this

[@clairedeare1139]

What a cosy sofa to have a snooze on when all the hard work is done! Enjoy your fabulous new space 💕

[@shariellis2272]

I really like your "new" room; very colorful and organized; very peaceful. So lovely to visit with you and Anna.

[@carlenehall2979]

🤗 What an efficient looking work space, I know Anna will enjoy it! Kate I know you will enjoy having your space free for your crafting, etc. Good idea all the way around! Take care.

[@juliemix3373]

Kate, you and Anna did such a fine job desiniy this space. It will be so wonderful to have for your big and small mailings. Love all the extras like the big clock and the spoon hooks and the comfy sofa. The knit blanket you'r making is turning out just grand. Cheers.

[@susancheveralllong7694]

You have a great relationship. It's so lovely watching the family dynamics. Also how the inner workings of the last homely house east of the sea 👍😉👍

[@alettavanmeurs9185]

You and Anna have made such a nice cozy and organized room! I hope you girl's have a lot of fun and pleasure in the new working space! I love the pink and green boxes! Those candles are so pretty with the rainbow colours!

[@reginakeller3038]

Congratulations Kate and Anna! Your hard work is rewarded with a beautiful room, organized, and comfortable ❣ Happy for you 😊❣

[@tigerlily9051]

Great day! Thanks to Anna and John. Welcomed to help over here😉🙃💘

[@faithsmith7431]

Your channel makes me happy! I also am a quilter and was envious of the last two suitcases you opened. Stay safe my friend!

[@marilynsowards8489]

Kate, I'm so happy for you and Anna have such a wonderful work space. Looks wonderful!

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Change is scary and very good, all at the same time. I hope you enjoy this new chapter in your business life. Thanks for the tour and this video!

[@d14551]

I think the new shipping room is great. And how nice that it includes a comfy couch to knit on or nap on.

[@theresasuttle711]

How blessed to have Anna as your helper! My daughter who is organized lives 12 hours away. My younger creative daughter lives close but is more of an enabler! Lol Family is so key to joy are they not? I’m getting caught up with your videos and enjoying them very much! They have gotten me inspired to finish more and continue in my quest for knowledge in all things creative! I describe myself as a ‘Jack of all trades, master of none’. This fact used to really bother me but I now embrace it! It’s who I am and I’m so happy that way! Trying to change that, I nearly lost myself! I really rattle on…. Sorry! So enjoy your videos!

[@ericallerton809]

Love that room!so cozy with a couch!Perfect for u and Anna,,,,, Love the lime green and pink containers!! Elaine🏡🏡🏡🏡

[@sharynraphael5676]

What a blessing Anna is.

[@joharmon2148]

What lovely bright room, Anna is such a fun girl and so very organized. And a great place for a quick snooze

[@treadlegenie]

What a beautiful room & to see you & Anna enjoying is such a delight. The sofa is an added extra special touch. Love the quilt on it. Have you shown how to make that one? I may have missed it. A beauty of a scrap project for sure. What a joy to watch your videos. So down to earth & relaxing.

[@yvethemetriccrafter688]

I love the relationship you two have ,and I think that room looks so cozy , what a nice job .

[@reginamcteague3721]

Wow! What a wonderful transformation of this room. Living out of boxes to ship product is no fun. Glad for both of you!

[@maryb1342]

Anna you are so cute...thanks for all you do in helping Kate😸☺️

[@sandiemable]

Hi Kate, The shipping, knitting, I need a nap room is perfect! Adorable candles and Anna is a priceless treasure. :D xoxo's Sandie

[@annenelligan8374]

Our Alexa played your request so funny. Love having a sofa in work space, I find this best favorite thing.

[@indigosky9578]

Kate...you are like the female version of Kaffe Fasset! You just seem to have the ability to put so many colours together and it always works and your creations always look beautiful!

[@lindacampbell320]

I love your videos, Kate. Anna is so sweet. Bless you and your family.

[@joolscatlow3969]

I just love your beautiful home ❤ full of beautiful things that have been created with love. Your videos are my go to, my little piece of heaven (beautiful) in an ugly world xx

[@maryannharlow5172]

I call what you and Anna did is nesting. Getting things just the way you want. Sometimes I struggle with that very thing.

[@pattiea.dunlap1860]

Hello from Texas! I love the new room because of the large window letting in so much sunshine. The couch with the quilt and all the organized shelves. A wonderful new addition! The rainbow candles are unique and beautiful. Good choice, Kate and Anna.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

thank you! xxx

[@wendybellhouse5731]

Such a lovely space for the lovely Anna to work in 💖

[@katheeenlange6004]

Love your new work room it looks so comfortable and after you did all that work you’re sitting on the sofa knitting just relax and enjoy love watching you

[@carolynhoover9444]

Haha! While the new office is fabulous, I had a hearty laugh when you asked Alexa to play free music. Haha. What followed is one of the funniest reaction ever! 😂. I love that you rested and just the getting things in order is going to make things fluid. Anna is a great daughter in law. Candles 🕯look very nice!

[@peachycheeks4394]

Makes me miss my MIL Liz soooo much. She would have loved watching you both!!!❤❤❤

[@tracyaa1081]

Anna is precious. I am inspired to straighten up my spaces.

[@stitchingbythesea1965]

Kate, you and Anna make a great team ! Room is looking fabulous 💖🌸

[@helenknecht2407]

Very enjoyable to watch you and Anna work together!

[@pamelawatland5527]

What a beautiful room! I love when I tidy up, it helps me to feel content. Which, Ms Kate is how you looked at the end of the video!

[@tammyjaenson2620]

Brought back fun memories of making dipped candles at Silver Dollar City, in Branson, Missouri, as a child. 🥰

[@evamehrotra1064]

Yeah for you Kate! You look so happy and fulfilled.

[@susangoodwin7241]

I LOVE your new shipping/napping space. I would spend a lot of time there (leaving Alexa in another room maybe) You and Anna are a dynamic duo!!!

[@catharina2022]

Afraid the shelfs are falling over? Put the heaviest stuf on lower shelfs.... the room looks very good! That's a very nice working space!🙋🏼‍♀️🇱🇺🌷

Beautiful space, Kate! I'm really envious. So very peaceful with the gorgeous light.❤❤

[@joannemaestri1918]

I smiled through that whole video! I love your room and you and Anna! I feel so lucky to have one of your beautiful tea towels, my dear friend got one for me and one for her. I will be framing mine, and hanging it it my kitchen. ❤️

[@veemcg3682]

Everything is lovely and you've both worked really hard so wishing you good health and happy hours in your new space! Personally I think the best addition to any space has to be a sofa and comfy throw! God bless from Northern Ireland.

Just lovely and it's a functional space. I love the sitting couch.

[@mary-annz.reynolds7778]

It's fun to watch you two work. I have a Google device and I'll ask for music 🎶. It doesn't always listen to me either. I'll say stop and it will stop, then start up again. When I can't sleep, I like to watch your videos; they're calming. I love your kitties. 💕

[@vickifeick8812]

I love your pink and green containers! Such bright and cheerful colors!!
