This is absolutely TERRIFIC!!! I am beginning to restore my great grandmother’s dollhouse from the late 1800s and this is EXACTLY what I needed to see! I was lacking vision and you really clarified a lot of things for me! Thank you! 🎉

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

I am so glad to hear that this is helping you Heather! That is definitely why I'm here! I trying to give the guidance I wish that I had when I started this journey over 40 years ago! Thank you for sharing this!💖💖💖💖🥹

Hello! and THANK YOU! I appreciate you for watching and allowing me to share!

[@mjma4797]

I love this technique. My granddaughter asked for a cobblestone chimney on her dollhouse, so now, I know how to create the look! Thank you so much!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

You are so welcome! I'm glad it helped! Let me know how it turns out! Thank you for watching!

[@plantsoverpills1643]

Really appreciate this tutorial. Your presentation is calm, easily understood, and not riddled with loud distracting music or sped up visuals that can’t be followed. Thank- you… I will be trying this👍🏻😊

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I really appreciate your detailed feedback! I have never been a fan of music my videos. I have never used it because it's distracting to me. I also try to only speed up parts like me "squeezing glue out or something" LOLOLOLOL! I'm glad my "Music-less videos" are OKAY with YOU!!!! Thanks Again for your AWESOME FEEDBACK!

[@perrystalsis55]

I totally second this- I could never tire of Little Gretchen's lovely, soft voice!

[@shiannemckracken4732]

I agree :)

[@davidalanmors3233]

One can feel an imagined weight to the wall as if it is genuinely fitted with full depth masonry

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Yes the egg carton material is incredibly versatile! I've used it on chimney and walkway, stone floor and even walls! It has never disappointed me. I really appreciate your feed back!

[@krystleburgess1052]

I like how simple and yet effective this is. Most videos I've seen on crafting tends to be overly professional and I always feel like I need to go out and buy all the latest tools, gadgets and materials. You really only need to have your hands and a good imagination. Thank u :) Edit: I agree with others about your calm demeaner and no music 😊

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

OH WOW!!! THANK YOU SHIANNE! I appreciate your feedback! I try to make things simple so anybody can understand and anybody can create with whatever they have on hand because that's how I started. Thank you for your feedback about music! Although, I don't normally use "music" but heads up in tonight's video there is a "little music" but it's only there to "drown out my crying" 🤭🥲😂

[@shiannemckracken4732]

@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 You're very welcome. I don't mind music if its not overwhelming but hopefully its not always to drown your tears :( Hopefully you're in better spirits now. Take care!😊
