@Canterbury Cottage I'm totally gobsmacked. You have a very talented, creative mind to have turned every ugly thing into beautiful, useful, homey items. I'm creative too, but quite a few of those things had me thinking you couldn't pull it off. Was I wrong. I would have used everything...this IF I had a home. I had a nasty fall @ a nursing-rehab facility recovering from a near death experience from sepsis, a haven't walked since the accident 7 yrs ago. I live vicariously through channels like yours. I used to be known for my curbside shopping hauls and what I created from othe people's trash. I'm so thankful this video popped up in my feed as I was looking for videos to teach me my newest hobby which is beading and jewelry making. You did such an awesome job that you got a new subbie. I am wondering if you are in my birthstone of Illinois? Evanston was where home was for the first 2 yrs of my life. Again, thanks for such an awesome video. I think I gonna go do some binge watching, to find out what else you've been playing with. 😂
