The DISH and the SPOON box - meet Louise, the Artist!

[@DeniseLedbetter-v6w]

I am watching this in 2024. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this series. When I saw her cat I immediately thought if Norma. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@speckledhen409]

Of the creatures that were painted I'm most jealous of and wish I was the moon....cause it gave light to all the joy of the previous other objects. "Hey diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle."...joy!

[@jennievpollard77]

Louise's cat brought back memories of Norma.

[@candygrubisic]

Watercolors are so fun to work with. Always enjoy when you do the whole "series" episodes of the skilled artists that go into your boxes. Love seeing how your "themes" come together into one cohesive, perfect package.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Thank you so much! xxx

[@karenkaren9526]

For quite sometime I was terrified of watercolor. Now I know how much fun it is. 😊

[@tinatippin5705]

Louise paints your heart well. Subtle, simple, and deep. An amazing collaboration. This package will bring much joy to all who are able to have one. Please thank John, who first appreciated the beauty that old pear tree was holding deep inside. And if you would, thank the three artists and your printer too for me. But without your vision and heart, Kate, none of this would have come together. My heart is grateful that you invited us to witness this journey. Thank you. Enjoy your week, Kate. Till we meet again.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

thank you Tina - I am so pleased that you have seen the connections I saw right from the start of this project - I hope I communicated that well - you have certainly seen it - that this wonderful old tree inspired the chain of events that followed. It has taken me and Anna months to bring all this together. I am so pleased with the outcome. I loved spending time with Rachel, Lisa and Louise. Thank you xxx

[@tinatippin5705]

@@thelasthomelyhouse It shows. I forgot to thank Anna!! If you are hugging people, give her one for me and tell her I am sorry. Such a special girl she is.

[@karlajensen1041]

Louise!... what a VERY talented lady you are. Thank you Kate for sharing your project progress and allowing us to meet your friend. Love and Peace. kj

[@nanigail395]

Loved this so much & throughout the video I kept thinking….Louise’s place reminds me so much of Kate’s❣️You two must be kindred spirits for sure…I suppose Kate’s quilts are what Louise’s paintings are…..🥰

[@pebblecritter]

Awwww, how lovely! When I first saw Lousie's house I thought 'hobbit house!' It's so lush and it feels like the house is just a natural part of the beautiful landscape... 💚

[@carmenbailey1560]

First I have to mention that your dress and sweater blend with Ange’s quilt beautifully. Totally love see Louise’s homestead, what a quaint hobbit looking home. Love her calming character and of course her water colour paintings is beautiful. Thanks for taking us along. 👍❤️😊

[@juliemix3373]

Oh my, that did turn out so well. Beautiful ,Louise. Kate what a fun project to follow. Thank you all who took part in this. Cheers

[@KimLomQld]

Cats in a box, birch trees, a divine little studio nook, paints, a quaint cottage in the country, a bowl of fresh eggs, yarn baskets, a pitter patter of dogs paws...what a beautiful video Kate, and great job of video Anna...just loved every minute !!

[@sallybrown7854]

My Sunday treat Thank you

[@nickik.9037]

Louise's painting is beautiful & so relaxing to look at. I'm not a patron but from what you've shown of her home is absolutely amazing. It's been a joy to follow this venture with you & all those involved.

[@beckyezra1]

[@annehayward3506]

Absolutely adorable picture, I love the wonderful house such an inspirational place to live and create.

[@bentejohansen101]

I don't know, if you see, that your likes have grown a bit - I've seen all your KZbin-videos, and then I did it again, this time I remembered to press the "I like this video"-button. I have followed your channel for some time, and I know, that watching your daily life has ment a lot for me - I laugh a lot, you inspire me in the patchwork and knitting. I like the way, you handle your animals - I'm not allowed to keep pets, where I live, so I watch your cats, hens and duck and have a good time - means a lot to me - have a good day - take care.

[@bonnierinks3206]

I love the collection in the box. I also love meeting the artists. Thank you Kate for inviting us into your world.

[@elaineenstone6834]

So interesting to watch Louise paint. Love the colours in the very apt design. 🇬🇧

[@SandraOranje]

Hi Kate. Yes I do remember Louise. I love your place and that tree house 🏡 but her place looks like it's coming right out of a fairy tale. The shape of the house, and the shape of the windows, that little cottage outside, the beautiful surroundings. To top it off, she is one talented lady. Beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️xxxx

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

Hi Sandra, I have loved watching Louise and Jonahs house take shape over the years - they are two very creative souls xxx

Your videos of "arts: and artists" are so calming ... "thank you" is not enough.

[@AnitaSouthall]

Dear Kate, the only real cot quilt I ever made has a Hey Diddle Diddle fabric panel. It's over 32 years old used by both my children and now me as a light lap quilt in winter. So your project has special meaning.

[@sharonwindram6833]

Thank you Kate for posting this video......love it!

[@wendyw4487]

the quilt on the wall behind you resembles the background of a Gustave Klimt painting........quite beautiful.

[@emilychadwick3857]

Such a pleasant and peaceful visit. Have a blessed week. 🙏🙋‍♀️

[@judyzeigler3980]

That is a lovely picture , sorry artwork. So we'll done. Kate, thanks for sharing with us. I love to see other talented people's work. It always amazing me how wonderful the artworks that are out there are. I love to see it all.

[@marilyn9155]

Louise your paintings are so very charming. I love the reference to the nursery rhyme. I had seen your work in a past video. I love the color ways you always choose and I’m partial to watercolor painting to begin. Kate, you did it again! !!! No surprise there. Your videos during this project have been well put together and very professional looking and ,again, inspiring as well as informative. I cannot wait till next week’s installment of the dish and the spoon. Marilyn NJ USA

[@kaitlinmeadows6273]

Charming place, delightful artist, enchanting art, beautiful creativity in each moment! Thank you for taking us on these adventures!

[@mamivonfluffy32]

Oh, Kate, I was so concentrated on the pretty picture and nice story around it, that I slipped my stitches and had to go back two rows to fix it.😄

[@maureenpool2127]

This is such a satisfying series! I love the watercolor today - it’s just right. Thanks so much to all of you who worked on this. ❤️

I have started a part-time job, after retirement, at Tryon Palace, an 18th century Colonial Capital here in North Carolina. I am learning to spin and hope to learn natural dyeing methods to demonstrate to guests. I am so happy to watch you do the things I am learning about!

[@BettySusanne]

Amazing 😍 Love it!! 💚🇨🇦

[@veronicastephens8501]

I'm really enjoying the behind the scenes!

[@karinanderson7319]

It was brutally hot, humid and a somewhat trying day here in my home yesterday. Being invited into Louise's lovely home in this way helped me cool and get grounded again! Thank you Kate and Anna, for filming this and sharing with us💖

[@grumpy_poo]

How could one not be creative in a cottage like that.with a cat in a box....gorgeous. I think Louise should name the new shed ...'My she shed of all creation, wonder and delights'...Studio seems a bit 'grown up' to me....

[@elizabethsawyer5906]

Gorgeous painting.😍

[@maryannfelice7705]

I absolutely loved this video. Thank you

[@Byerlyn]

Both you and Louise are so talented! What if Louise would print her paintings on squares of fabric and then you make a quilt using them? How fun it would be to watch how you would decide to put it together.

[@rosesbaker]

A nice mellow visit....

[@ladyliberty417]

A real hobbit home!! I agree about the kitchen work distracting from art work, ha!! Thank you for showing us this real true place of peace, the print is charming ❤️
