Aww he was trying to reply a scene from Ghost... That was cute

[@awesomeniecy9242]

🥰

[@saralechak5834]

Was beautiful girl , keep up beautiful memories, we are also going to be living off grid but in the humblot or trinity mountains of Northern California , but with 3 childern and my fiancee

[@eryykkaaa]

You should make some with akela’s nose boop on it. They would be so unique!!!

[@Linneaandakela]

That would be soooo cute! Someone else said a stamp with her paw print could be cute too!

[@tinyvancer]

The Ghost scene remake was adorable! Good effort Chris!!!

[@angieremjeske9663]

I LOVE the pine cone mug !!

[@sharonlopez3941]

Chris your scene from ghost was cute…🥰Linnea love watching you make all that amazing pottery in that beautiful location. You look so relaxed and peaceful.

[@savvyfrenchlearners]

Placing your mugs on a few sheets of newspaper will allow the base to move as it shrinks :)

[@Linneaandakela]

Great tip - thank you!

[@jessica1.]

I knew immediately what he was doing when he asked if the camera was on. ❤

[@karihegg8961]

You are very talented! Love your cups. A woman of many talents.

[@Linneaandakela]

Thank you!

[@meganjanningcpdt-ka5567]

You seem so bright and happy; I don't think I've ever seen you like this is any of your previous videos. It's so fun and exciting learning new things that you're passionate about; I've been learning about professional dog grooming lately and it's been a blast building a new skill.

[@Linneaandakela]

Aw thank you for noticing that!

[@celena1102]

You could make the cracked ones planters!! They need some drainage on the bottom, you could find a funky way to hang them (maybe by the handle from the ceiling, etc..)

[@Linneaandakela]

Great idea!

[@TheKeriLees]

Such a sweet, tender moment with Chris recreating Ghost. I saw how he adores and respects you. Beautiful creations Linnea... you are a wonderful teacher in just being you

[@Linneaandakela]

I really appreciate this ♥️

[@staceyw586]

Awesome job with the homemade moisturizer! I honestly had no idea what you were doing 😂. Love Chris trying to recreate the scene from Ghost! 💜

[@nikki0605]

Finally someone who explaines what it is..I didn’t understand at first!🙈. Thank you!

[@SilverFoxDeux]

Grab a spray bottle next time you are at the store for water. Perfect to use for the pottery during the process in the desert . you can also spray a few pumps on the pieces throughout the day while keeping them under the plastic. :)

[@thedogmom68]

Haha! 😂 He was trying to do the scene from Ghost 👻 and you looked so confused!! 🫤

[@Stormy-14-]

The Ghost scene he was trying to create, so romantic 👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Linneaandakela]

Haha I couldn’t hear a thing so it was very funny looking through the footage after. We got a good laugh!

[@noxtwilight_]

Beautiful job on the pottery! I love that you prioritize art in your life, wish more people did. There is an art form for everyone! Excited to see what you create on your property.

[@rougeroadie1193]

Okay… I’m in actual tears over Chris trying to re-enact Patrick Swayze in Ghost.. and you being all “wtf…are you doing??” 😅😅😅

[@margysfavourites8444]

Wonderful Video Love Chris’s spoof of the scene from Ghost 😃

[@bettywhalen1148]

You are so gifted! Your artistry comes through in your writing, and storytelling, videography, pottery, and the artwork on your pottery, and the process of making your homemade lotions. And that was just this video. I just love watching every video. I feel truly blessed to be a small part of your journey just by watching!

[@Linneaandakela]

Thank you so much 😀

[@tmcbgrrl0074]

My grandmother used to have a manual pottery wheel. It had a large stone underneath (in a large wooden ring) that she would push with her foot to make it go round & round. Must've been exhausting! She made most of the dishes for our cabin, that we still use today. 🙂 Happy Crafternoon~~ xo

[@Thetinyfit]

Oh man I just love that you just got for it with anything you do. You are absolutely brave and fearless and it’s really great to see. 🙌🏼

[@Linneaandakela]

I really really appreciate it!

[@laurathomas6014]

Chris re-enacting GHOST and your reaction was hilarious. 😂

[@Linneaandakela]

Haha I couldn’t hear anything and I was sooo confused! But when we looked back at the footage it gave us such a good laugh

[@nomossrock]

I think Patrick Swayze would’ve been proud. Fun episode.

[@SolsticeOnAnOdyssey]

14:14 oh my gosh that ghost spoof was hilarious

[@tammycruz8189]

I get so excited n filled with joy when i know u post . I absolutely love you n your videos. Thank U . Safe travels n God Bless Ya'll ❤❤❤❤

[@EmilyNelson-bz1sz]

Same here!😁

[@msvg3]

The portable wheel was such a cool loan! So cool to see that fun side of Chris! ✌️❤️🍵

[@JoannaK-j1o]

Love your pottery. When you got the beef fat I thought you'd make your own candles. That is what they did before electricity. I remember doing for a school project when I was young. You could make your own pottery jars and fill with fat made candles. thank you for your videos!!

[@sunwoodlane]

@15:00 - TALK ABOUT THE DREAM LIFE! Spinning pottery in the middle of the desert....so happy for you and this beautiful life you've created.

[@Linneaandakela]

It definitely feels like a dream at times! Thank you for your shared happiness ♥️

[@davcox100]

I love your positive attitude Linnea. You always treat a failure, not as a defeat, but as a learning experience. That is such a beautiful quality to have. Keep doing and being who you are…….. A strong woman with great energy and morals.

[@teresamason5155]

Hi Linnea, I’m sorry to see your beautiful pots crack on you. I have a suggestion you might want to give it a try. I make Hypertufa planters and to prevent the plant pots from cracking after the form has been made, I wrapped them loosely with wet newspapers and put them into a plastic bag and leave them for several days to slow down the drying time and to prevent cracking. Just a thought you could give it a try.! ❤ Kudos to Chris and the Ghost scene!😂❤

[@starfire8221]

Lovely pottery and beautiful art work. Love the ones with no handle 😊

[@nansnook3920]

Using grape seed oil for skin care is also great. It has no smell, so you can add any essential oil/s & the oil will be more fragrant. I use black pepper essential oil for my husband & the smell is divine. You got guts kid. Koodos.❤😊

[@Tobi-xq2ij]

The scene from the movie "Ghost" was hilarious well done!!!

[@Linneaandakela]

I agree! Haha

[@hunnybunny4u259]

The clouds….⛅️ and loving Chris he is such a keeper and them some.

[@colinkasper7275]

LOL😂 Love Chris’ effort to redo the scene from “Ghost” even though you had no idea wtf was going on. lmao😂

[@truefuschniken]

Chris was a genius and hilarious for that Ghost scene!!! 😂

[@totallybonkers]

Haha. He was doing a classic scene from ghost and you were NOT having it 😂 He is so nice.

[@ALMAPAGAN]

Lol, that was really sweet of him to recreate a romantic scene with you. I really enjoy the format you are filming in lately it seems more personal and easy like a Sunday morning.

[@Linneaandakela]

Thank you so much!

[@vansionliving]

Ghost! That was so cute!

[@kcrash279]

Hee, hee to Chris’s joke, I love your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your life with us.😸

[@Linneaandakela]

Haha it was so good! Thanks so much for watching ♥️

[@paulettepickering1880]

Wow! What Bright Energy you have this week ! Love that you chose Snake , an energy of transformation! Maybe a Spirit Helper wandering in from your quest in Peru - also Wondering if pottery that cracks like that could still be used as small planters . Cris loved the Ghost Scene input! Check out Ted Andrews Animal wise and series for reading! Love your content :

[@Bernie1014]

What a busy, productive schedule you have, Linnea. Pretty impressive! Thanks for sharing.

[@Linneaandakela]

It was quite the week haha thanks for watching!

[@simply.leen.]

What a fun video this week! Pottery, face balm, and an adorable Ghost re-creation. You had a busy week for sure. Thanks for bringing us along. 😊

[@Gal_a_Van_ting]

Linnea, I loved this video, thank you for sharing. You are so talented and your pottery is beautiful! I am building my van currently and encouraged to figure out how to include a proper work area for my crafts! Also your new energy was evident and a pleasure to watch. Hats off to Chris for his contribution... "your audience will get it", yes, indeed!!! LMAO, I was crying - it was great!

[@nasak1111]

14:19 the cluelessness ...😂❤Precious!

[@winterwolf2012]

You may want to look into outsider art from found objects. Trash piles can become a gold mine. It is a unique art form, with no rules. An art that really brings out the inner you...

[@Linneaandakela]

Clever idea!

[@erikawiest7100]

Love your videos❤❤❤

[@karenb1627]

I about peed my pants with the Ghost. Chris is funny😅 Love all your skill building and shedding what no longer serves. Happy spring❤

[@Linneaandakela]

Haha I thought it was soooo funny too! Thanks so much, happy spring to you too!

[@katesmith1233]

Wow! You Go Girl! Your trust in yourself and your creativity to do things you’ve never done before! Love. It.🥰

[@tammycruz8189]

I wish i could have one of pieces i love your work its absolutely Beautiful 😍 🤩

[@Linneaandakela]

Aw thank you! I'm selling them over on Patreon: www.patreon.com/linneaandakela

[@maryl965]

Linnea, you are pioneer woman! Making pottery outside, on a portable wheel, tallow moisturizer...wow. What's next? (Can't wait to see!)

[@Linneaandakela]

I really appreciate it!! ♥️

[@lisamillard1272]

What a lovely video Linnea ty. Your doing so much and so fun. All educational tasks will assist throughout life. Beautiful mugs and hi Chris and pups, loved the ghost scene 🐶

[@coloringjenn1975]

You are my sunshine ☀️☀️🌞

[@kaileia_4]

This may be my favorite video of yours. ❤

[@patricialawrence7459]

I hope that your positive attitude is contagious. Love it!

[@judyp464]

Love the one with pine trees and the moon! Great video! Love watching you learn, and Akela’s curiosity lol 💕🐶

[@joeyalfano2096]

That makes me laugh so hard!! 😂 She had NO Idea what was happening!

[@katehopkinsbrent5573]

The moisturizer looks wonderful. I have psoriasis on my knees, marigold or calendula leaves= soak in olive oil ( or whichever you want ) I leave it 4-6 weeks in a dark place, then I strain the leaves out, heat the oil slowly, add some beeswax, then put an essential oil in - pour it in a small container and THAT clears the knees up faster and better than a $52 prescription from Doc and it leaves the skin soft and glowing. I’ve made same with plantain

[@Linneaandakela]

Wow that is SO NEAT. Thank you for sharing! It’s amazing the more I learn, the more I realize how simple and natural a lot of remedies can be :)

[@YourGreenLady]

14:17 Chris is literally the cutesiest.... the audience def got it 🤣🥰

[@suzanned6303]

Linnea, I am not a ceramics expert but I know some who are and they use a large Styrofoam (light and cheap) cooler with a lid to store green ware and control humidity. Your mugs are beautiful!

[@shannonmarie4405]

Chris's Ghost reference...YES!!!🔥😅❤

[@Linneaandakela]

Haha I agree!! To funny ♥️

[@RachelsPortal]

We wrapped our pottery in plastic and shrink wrap. In South Africa we have warm weather.

[@CTJMusic]

Chris pulling the ol Patrick Swayze, nice! 😂😂 #ghost

[@lunabear4195]

Making your own moisturizer that is super awesome.

[@MariE-go7ol]

Buy pop gazebo to work under so the rain won’t bother your work. Your pottery looks nice!

[@RachelsPortal]

If you add a bit of either Titanium Oxide or Zinc Oxide powder to your lotion, you have a moisturizing sunblock. Mix one jar day cream with this and apply before going outside. Use other jar without this as your night moisturizer. Off course you can just add it into the batch, and have the sunblock not blocking anything at night, lol. I did this before and added a drop or two green food colour and sold it to family members as a day cream and night cream. They came telling me how different the two felt and how it was getting rid of wrinkles, lol.

[@maryennis9186]

I was so captivated by the spring vibes and joyful energy in this video! Loved this! Love the mugs, love the soundtrack, love Chris recreating the ghost scene and you just being like, wha? Haha x super cool to see how you made those creams, and just all the love - haha x x from my heart to yours, mwchwah! Grateful for what you share x

[@elaineconn7393]

You are so funny throwing your cups that cracked. You are very creative and it is fun to watch you create different things.

[@deniseday8188]

that was adorable! he reanacted the scene from GHOST 🥰

[@marybethuretz5865]

aw...jeez...Linnea....I was just getting ready to write to say use them for something else like pencil holders.....and as I started, ya tossed them....hilarious! but damn...I would have bought them to hold my stuff!🤣

[@Linneaandakela]

Good idea!

[@SpaceCadete101]

I love eating whole food sources, it's very grounding. You're awesome!

[@kristy4619]

You could've made the cracked mugs planter with a plate you make to go under them.

[@marymactavish]

I love how you think it doesn't smell beefy and Akila says, "My nose begs to differ."

[@Linneaandakela]

Hahaha!! So true!

[@jacquelinejeffs4079]

You can buy another Connex box and make that your temporary home. It’s actually more structurally sound and what you’re building and you’re reusing something.

[@Linneaandakela]

For sure! I just don’t need a temporary home, my van is my home, and Chris’s big bus is his… we are really happy with our set up!

[@margiesheets6581]

Hilarious Chris! Awesome awesome designing and throwing mugs! Tallow cream demo thanks!!

[@lisakeatingyoga]

Love how happy you are ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Linneaandakela]

Thank you ☺️💛

[@meshack.travels8913]

The Ghost reference: hilarious! 😂

[@judithbyerly5888]

Great video!! Thank you for including us in your shenanigans! I love your mugs!! Blessings till next time! 🌝💕🦋🙏🏻

[@tmcbgrrl0074]

Tallow 101. Loved the tutorial. At first, I thought u were making candles?~~ but, instead moisturizer! Love IT 🙂 Skincare is so important in the great outdoors~~

[@lindasteinbrenner8065]

Your pottery is amazing even with the setbacks. Hey your learning the climate thing. The throwing and shaping.. you make look so easy when it surely isn’t! So sweet.. the scene from Ghost.❤ I have heard how amazing tallow is and yours look so rich and of course moisturizing!

[@Linneaandakela]

Thank you so much! Yes the tallow has been absolutely amazing, I will definitely do it again and keep experimenting :)

[@freebyrdart]

i love the drama, chuck it girl

[@Linneaandakela]

Always haha

[@Grizzlyneon]

I am so excited for you to have ALL DAY with a pottery wheel at your disposal 🤗 So fun! (The clouds going by in the time lapse was also amazing)

[@chrisbaker5077]

❤❤❤ your videos, definitely should keep the snake mug, and your mom is going to LOVE a mug from you. It was very interesting to see what you did with the fat trimmings.

[@michelleellis8201]

Great video!!! Love how Chris did the scene from ghost 😂🤣. Your pottery is beautiful. Your skin care recipes sound amazing as well. Take care! 😊❤️

[@witchstix]

With how often you are outside and in the sun, your skin is still always gorgeous and glowy. Do you use sunscreen or anything, because you never highlight that nor anything about your hygiene routine. Obv we've seen you brush your teeth or what not. But living outside, your skin must sometimes get burnt from the sun or dry from the different humidty/etc. Also, I love how more often than not your videos have what I like to call 'a moral' to the story, because how you film and the voiceovers make this complete circuit, more often than not. But this time you did a lot of different things: more focus on time lapses, really enjoying your project. A hyper focused 'lens' into your art without anything extra. It's gorgeous and awesome to see you doing different things with your cinematography. Plus, I love how you kept the bit of Chris coming into your art space and intruding with his cute "let's go sit behind Linnea and wrap my arms around her". We all know he hates to do posed/choreographed things for camera. But this time he did it in a very sweet, funny way in which you had no idea what's going on. Ya'll are great together. Thank you for sharing all the tiny, wonderous moments with us.

[@Linneaandakela]

Thank you so much for all the beautiful feedback. I really really appreciate it ♥️♥️

[@Linneaandakela]

As for the skin/hygiene routine, I don’t actually wear sunscreen much. I slowly expose myself to the sun as seasons change, and I focus more on covering up if needed rather than sunscreen. I don’t have any other routine for my skin! Just lots of moisturizer and hydration :)

[@valeriestraw6966]

Awesome job. You are so gifted with a wise mind.

[@ishmom1]

OMG that was so cute. Linnea didn't know what was going on. Ghost...

[@Linneaandakela]

Haha so cute! :)

[@debrakaplan1612]

Always a pleasure watching your videos. What an inspiration you are, thank you!

[@anamcneil1780]

That was soooo cute he sat behind you just like my favourite movie Ghost!!!!

[@mindie72]

Beautiful pottery and The Ghost scene from Chris was great!

[@NanaKelly762]

WOW LOVE that you made your own skin moisturizer. Great video your pottery is gorgeous Linnea

[@rochelle.649]

hahhaha yes!! we got it🤣🤣🤍👻

[@birdsongvalley]

@14:20 an absolute keeper!!

[@1904-d3x]

Awe From Ghost.. denim and Patrick swazzy. lol so cute// omg im only 42 and got it. Shit i guess im old .lol

[@jandooley5016]

What a doer you are.

[@Linneaandakela]

Thank you :)

[@storiesfromhinterland]

Love the scratched snake cup 👌

[@dorothymctee5626]

Wow your so creative I love the cups

[@dorothymctee5626]

@Linneaandakela0 I really love your lifestyle and I want it so much for myself

[@agnesskibicka]

​@@dorothymctee5626yes! Greetings from Poland and rural living - channel 😊

[@divinewrath3142]

It's so fun to watch you throw. I'm pretty new to it as well. Your designs are great! I just built out the basement livingroom into my pottery studio. I have learned a lot in the process. One thing you really need to be aware of (you may already know) is potters lung aka silicosis. The silica in the clay dust can be really dangerous if you don't have proper air filtration, or at very least good exhaust ventilation. Can't wait to see what you put together on the land!

[@JudySnyder-dv5ld]

The cracked ones can be used as planters.

[@Vanora_the_explorer]

Beautiful mugs! Once you get a studio, you should set up a website and sell more. I'd buy one for my van. 😊

[@Linneaandakela]

That's the plan! Stay tuned . . .
