Packing your Last Homely House Christmas Box 2023!

[@carolannparman5004]

Anna is a real treasure. What a wonderful daughter-in-law.

[@kimbrandt992]

I do love watching their genuine friendship :0) aren't they lovely!

[@Chercher4848]

Anna is adorable! Love watching their interaction & of course that wonderful accent! 😍

[@virginiaanderson8875]

My husband passed away a couple of years ago now, and I miss him terribly, after 58 years together, my soulmate. So, my oldest gets a charge out of my putting a gift under my tree to Ginny, love, John and it is something a little more than normal spend, but a treat I look forward to having - your Christmas box will be that special gift this year and won’t be opened till Christmas morning🌲💕

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

How lovely - I hope you get a little comfort on Christmas morning xxxx take care

[@maggiedoor6093]

Sounds wonderful ❤

[@naomic9070]

I’m happy I am able to support Kate by purchasing the Christmas box! Thank you Kate, Anna, Martha, Adam, Rita, John-everyone that contributed!

[@Loriann3616]

Me too because they bring so much joy to my life. 💚💕💚💕

[@lynnbilas6453]

Got my Xmas box in my in box, so I'm hopingi get a special one this year!😊

[@tuto108]

Dear Kate and Anna, Martha, Adam, John, Rita and all the elves at the Last Homely House, thank you so much for all the cheer!! The Last Homely House is truly my favorite place to visit on "the KZbins," as Kate says. I look so forward to receiving my box and thank you in advance for all the fun and enjoyment that you have packed inside it. Sending love to all!

[@thizizliz]

Aren't they lovely. Congratulations to all who were able to order them. Kate, having Anna join you is such a wonderful addition!!! Your entire family has contributed - well, the adults - and I'm certain the box is better with each of the items.

[@singing-bird]

It’s wonderful, Kate, that you have so many collaborators, both family and friends, helping you. I’m always blessed to see and share in the talents of others, and you do a great job showcasing these creative people, whether in the Christmas boxes, your home, or your ever-expanding garden. It’s never just about you, but about the many others who make your life so rich and whole. Thank you, dear Kate, and may God continue to bless you!

[@sickoftheshit]

Well said.

[@jillychandler]

Hear, hear from me too! xxx

[@seasmoke26]

And Owen

[@franwilson9324]

I have scored a box for the very first time! I ordered simply to support you dear Kate and show my grateful appreciation for all the lovely content over the past 5 years. The lovely goodies are a gift to me. Thanks for everything!

[@judypierce2495]

I changed my mind and ordered one when I saw they were still available! I'm so glad I did.

[@karinanderson7319]

So excited to have my Christmas Box order go through!! It has become a tradition to open it on the Eve of Yule after lighting my little Yule Log! Thank you Kate, Anna & John, Martha & Adam, Rita & Owen for all of the work you do to bring this joy to so many of us! And to those last 3 couples especially....thank you for all you do to support Kate and her wonderful initiatives!!🤗💖 I'm looking forward to seeing the wonderful quilts you both have been working on!

[@pamlacey136]

This is another fantastic box!! I was able to purchase one last year but, with the inflation and issues in the US, I am not able to do so this year. Being retired and on my own does have its downside! LOL. Anyway, I truly appreciate all that is done at The Last Homely House and the Last Homely Garden; you all are my favorite KZbinrs and I watch faithfully! Thanks again and I look forward to the next time we meet on the lime green sofa, maybe to see both of your quilts!! Oh happy day!! Blessings to all of you…………………………

[@Sallysews]

My budget won't allow for a Christmas box but I'm hoping that next year I'll be able to get one. I enjoy Kate's videos and how down to earth she is. I know everyone that did purchase a box will enjoy it very much. Thank you Kate, Anna & John and everyone else that helps in the making of the Last Homely House.

[@robintaylor8421]

The boxes have wonderful things in it. Wish my budget could afford it. I love watching your tutorials. Thank you.

[@beth12svist]

Yeah, I'm not even trying, but the packing video makes a nice almost ASMR-like background for knitting. 😅 Green socks. I'm now thinking I may have to pair the remaining yarn with pink in honour of Kate...

[@sickoftheshit]

Me too.❤😢

[@keressabeverage2622]

I can’t find the ordering info, any help would be appreciated! Thx!

[@beth12svist]

@@keressabeverage2622 Asking the wrong people, we're the ones not ordering!

[@Auntie7024]

I agree there are many lovely items in the box, unfortunately, my budget wouldn't support the price . I did order the 2024 calendar. I've received it and it is hanging on the wall behind the 2023 calendar and I excited to use it next year. Thank you Kate and Anna. I just love all your videos! Much love to you both and the family. ❤❤😊

[@theresazachert4786]

I been watching all your videos,love them all,I just got done watching the one on how your parents met. It was so sweet. They were so lucky to have each other. My husband and I have been married 54 years. He was 28 and I was 18,he was from Hamburg Germany. Everyone said it would never last and here we are 54 years and all of them are all divorced. They can’t believe we’ve lasted that long. The secret is respect each other’s feelings,patients,understanding but most of all love. We met at a Christmas party in 1968 and was married august 2 1969. Thanks for sharing.

[@susanharrell984]

Yeah, I was able to order, it went through and now it is the wait. So glad to be able to support Kate as well as treat myself to a 75th birthday gift and a Christmas gift. All of you who worked with Kate to put this together did a very wonderful job.

[@sickoftheshit]

Happy Birthday wishes for your special day.🎉❤

[@gaylabadillo5015]

Happy BIrthday Susan!! I too, ordered one for my birthday at the end of this month.

[@martiseelye6443]

I'm so excited to see the boxes coming together. Fingers crossed for one of the special sewn items or John's letter 🤞. I love seeing Kate and Anna together. I did many things with my mother-in-law, who is now suffering Alzheimer's, so it's very heart warming to see such loving interaction. I am excited to see the quilts as well! ❤

[@rosechernick8063]

So excited to have my first Christmas box. Thank you Kate, Anna, Rita, Martha, Adam and John and everyone else that played a part. They are full of beautiful treasures ♥️

[@manuelitawhite862]

❤ I watched this video and the others about yourboxes and could not wait to order mine. I did as soon as it was available and I got mine today!!!!!!! It was so great to open and got my surprise, a pink pinwheel block. Looking forward to making a project with my Liberty cotton and using your beautiful threads. Even the chocolates, already claimed by my grsndson!! Thank you f kiki r all the lovelies, oh and your book. So fun I feel like I have a little piece of the Last Homely House. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@knittingnana2939]

The crinkly stuff you're putting in the box is called excelsior.

[@amandareynolds7995]

I’ve just received my Christmas Box 🎉 Desperate to open it but I’ve decided to be super childish and wrap it up to go under the Christmas tree for me. Oh my goodness, I can’t wait though 😂. I also just wanted to say, you bring such joy. God bless you xxx

[@w.dossett3332]

Amanda, I think thats a great idea and not childish at all

[@HeRefersToMeAsJ]

Thank you for your lovely videos! You have inspired me to depart from my safe choices of mild colors in decor and dress. I have even ordered new glasses which have a collection of wildly patterned colorful magnetic frames. It is so much fun. I think of you when I make a colorful choice! ❤

[@lifeofjoy9404]

Yippeeeee!!! I just ordered my first Christmas box and I'm so excited!! The thought of all of Kate and her beloved crew putting their time, talent and TLC into these boxes warms my heart! The process was a little fiddly on my Android phone, especially trying to get my different shipping and billing addresses entered correctly in fields that kept auto-filling wrong data, but I eventually got it all settled. Now all I have to do is wait for it to arrive. I'll just perch here to wait it out on the edge of a soft cushion on the Lime Green Sofa, along with hundreds of my wonderful friends from the Last Homely House. Hello, friends! Pass down the crisps and napkins, please!?😍

[@mariefowler4623]

I just ordered my first box and it has been confirmed! So happy that these very special ladies and all the family and helpers 7:56 bless us with this lovely Christmas box of Kate's handmade goodies! Thank you a 1000 times!!❤❤❤

[@peachycheeks4394]

Looking forward to the 2024 boxes😊❤❤

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Thank you to everyone who left a comment and to those who got their Christmas Box! Look out for the post - you have a tracking number to keep an eye on shipping. A few people are saying they missed out - well I made more this year so that everyone who wants a box will be able to get one, so there is still time (as I write this) to try for a box. To the eagle eyed among you who pointed out that there were no chocolate coins in the last box, fear not - Anna did a careful edit to fit the filming in properly and that bit was edited out. Thank you all - I have the BEST people on my Lime Green Sofa xxxxx

[@gordonakers8247]

My goodness my Across the ocean Friends! You make my days so special. As I mentioned before, the move we made at our advanced ages was a traumatic move for us, however, both my husband were determined to try hard to make it easier for our daughters. I do admit, (secretly) we are struggling but do not want them to know we are a bit sad, missing our old friends, familiar places in our old town. However, happily I have found your channel, and my husband has found a sports card shop where he can discuss his cars and sports with others who share his interest. You certainly are a most welcome daily friend for me. 🥰🌻💖😁Patricia 87 PS..I ordered a box! I’m so happy you had a few extra! ❤️

[@margaretberryman6260]

Oh I hope you can keep in touch with your old friends, and maybe make a couple of new ones.@@gordonakers8247

[@pattyturner7634]

I’m so very excited to have been able to purchase one of Kate’s Christmas boxes this year! I just love how thoughtful she is about each item that goes into the box. And I love how everyone in her family is involved with her business now. Such a lovely family.

[@karenhenderson2624]

Is there any chance your lovely book will be available in the shop separately? Hope so. It's so gorgeous.

[@selinab8532]

the boxes look wonderful & have wanted to purchase one every year but alas i'm in Australia & the currency difference makes it way too expensive for me; otherwise i would jump on them you do so much for all your viewers thanx for sharing

[@autumnwitch4014]

Wish there was a smaller box that those who can't afford the big box.

I’m getting my first Christmas Box! I’m so excited! I know I’ll love everything I get in it. Woo Hoo! 🎊 🎆 🎇

TY Kate, Anna, John and all who customized these beautiful Christmas boxes🎉☃️🎄💕

[@aurorabuentello46]

Just received my Christmas box today! So exciting! Everything is so nice and beautifully packed , but so disappointed I didn’t get a letter, pin cushion, stocking or quilt square.

[@stitchpenniesofficial]

After three years of trying and missing out, I FINALLY got a Christmas box - squeeee! I can’t wait to receive it 🥳

[@wendyhansen3223]

I got mine so excited! I miss John and his crack-pot antics like using box fill as Santa’s beard. I laughed myself silly over that one. I am using one of the candles and the cute holder John made last year. Such an honor to support your channel and get fun surprises. Thank you Kate and family.

[@cherylmartin1207]

I just watched your Christmas box video and I have to say I absolutely loved what you put in the boxes and I hope to be first in line this coming Christmas to buy a box. Thank you for your lovely videos.❤

[@karenmartin8204]

Thank you so much for for the Christmas box I’ve managed to order one for the first time this year. I’m so happy thank you to Kate Anna, John, Martha, Adam, Rita and the team for all your hard work to make the boxes. I’m so excited to receive mine. God bless you all xx

[@maggiedoor6093]

I love when someone is able to get a box for the first time.

[@user-nr5xi9yr1f]

So grateful! I've never ordered anything like this and know I'll enjoy opening this Christmas box.

[@elsajordaan703]

Ai ai ai. I'm from South Africa, very close to the Rooibos tea farm. Love Love love your videos, you are just an amazing person and I would love to order a Christmas box, but oh dear, it would cost me a half a month's salary.

[@theresazachert4786]

Was watching video #24 where you were showing the book you made showing the different designs on paper with color. You should design for a fabric company. Your designs and colors were fabulous. I would buy them. ❤️

[@charlenerichardson2623]

I wish I could afford one, Kate. Merry Christmas! I know all who receive one will be thrilled.

[@janemarchant2558]

Hi Kate, I was watching some of your old videos and wondered if you and Anna were going to make a Christmas wreath this year. Lovely to see you both , great boxes xxx

[@suebabe100]

I am so excited!!!!!!! We were in DC over the weekend for our grandson's second birthday and I was bummed that I would miss my very first box but I managed to get one!!!! Thanks, dear Kate and Anna!!!!!!! xo

[@susanmorrell4802]

Thank you so much Kate❤️❤️So so excited to get my Christmas Box…. So so happy. You always cheer me with all news and such beautiful creations. Cannot thank you enough. Thank you also for letting all of us into your home. Love to you and your beautiful family.xx

[@narsham852]

The Christmas box looks wonderful! Due to funds I won't be able to get one though. Would it be possible to offer some of the items - especially the fabric, book, and thread box separately in your shop? Really hope so. Thank you and have a lovely weekend!

[@PleaseNThankYou]

What a blessed life. The willingness to use what God gives us ... our brains, our hands, and our time here.

[@sharonb7465]

I enjoyed last year’s box so much I just couldn’t miss the 2023 box. Placed my order. Excited to receive it. Thank you, Kate. ❤

[@marybeth4002]

I too hope that everyone that wishes for one - gets one. I enjoy watching your loving family all contribute in different ways to the Christmas boxes. That in itself is a great gift. You are blessed, Kate.

[@marisadawndesigns5458]

I just bought a box for my Mum and I to share. I think we will have to make a wonky star lap quilt with the Liberty fabric!

[@allicla]

Thank you Anna and Kate. I think being able to create my own project using the fabric will give me so much pleasure and I'm going to do some hand quilting with the threads. Fantastic way to support your channel, from one sock knitting/quilting midwife to another. 💖🤗😀

[@allicla]

Thank you, arrived already x

[@jacquelineknox1977]

How exciting it will be for whoever buys one of these boxes. My budget and our very poor exchange rate won't allow me to treat myself unfortunately. The contents are so personal and I love the handmade items. What a treat. xx

[@karentzn]

The whole Kate family thank you for your exquisite Christmas box

[@patstrawhouse4005]

Hello, Kate! I once again enjoyed watching you and Anna-Hello, Anna!-sharing and carefully packing the items that you’ve curated for this year’s lovely Christmas Box. Those who receive one of your beautifully crafted Liberty pieces or one of John’s notes will be so lucky! I had already decided that this year’s Christmas Box was not within my budget. However, I did visit your shop once more, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that your beautiful ‘Afternoon Sun’ puzzle is still available. I had admired both this puzzle and your previous one-of your hutch, if I remember correctly. I regret not buying the pair of them at that time, so I have now ordered ‘Afternoon Sun’. No more regrets! I am so excited for it to arrive. It will be perfect mounted and hung in the side entrance of my little straw bale house! Thank you, and stay well! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦

[@kitchenworker446]

I hope you opened up the last box you showed ourself filling and added the chocolate coins Kate!! The boxes do look lovely.x

[@sarahferrell5458]

This is my first year seeing the boxes go live. It has such a different feel from the older videos. Love that you always include the chocolates. (Sticker shock 😮)

[@sarahferrell5458]

I became as maker out of necessity. ❤ Good luck 🍀

Thank you! My order was successful. I missed getting last years, which I really wanted. I was not quick enough last time with the check out. Sold out before I was finished. Not this year. I was ready and got it done. Thank you, Steve North Carolina USA

[@deniseosborne4045]

I received my box today. Looks like it had been in a soccer match but items were safe. Love the items. Little bummed with no letter, pin cushion, pot holder, or stocking. Not even a chocolate lol oh well that must mean many were sold which is wonderful. Still worth it. Happy. I did receive plenty of dots. Finding them every where. 😂

I live in British Columbia, Canada and have just received my Christmas box. Beautiful contents and the packaging was lovely! I’m deciding what to make with the Liberty fabrics… The little book of Things is a great collaboration and such a joy to read! I am happy to support you Kate, you bring inspiration to so many people.

[@helenvickers1770]

I wasn’t able to buy a box this year. I still cherish my box from last year and I’m happy that someone else will be able to experience their first box in my stead this year.

Lovely box but the exchange rate to Aussie $ makes it $265.84 Aus so I won't be able to buy one ...

[@anitamorrison5426]

This year's box would be for me craft, sewing and PINK ofcourse. The book would be wonderful to read and you always have great calendars. I love your Sunday plus visits I live alone so your my guess along with the friends on the LGS. Another great box of wonderful talent people giving holiday joy. Thank you the two of you bring so many smiles watching you work so well together. Love Anita Canada 🇨🇦

Oh my gosh, did you notice how you and Anna just zipped the pouches back up with the thread inside right in sync with each other? LOL Getting to be quite the "family affair"...but also plenty of outside help as well now which is great isn't it? Love this season's candle colors, pretty fabrics. Great boxes as always.

I found the Last Homely House when I was looking for instructions on Bojagi (my current obsession). A few weeks later, and I'm working my way through your 'back catalogue' of videos. Feels like a taste of home - I'm originally from Preston (now transplanted to NZ), and my bestie grew up in Hexham. My LHH calendar arrived this morning - just lovely! Thank you for these videos Kate - they are an inspiration!
