Exciting Family Announcement! ~ Will we ever be finished landscaping? ~ Too much White Furniture?

[@pennybill4877]

Never accept criticism from anyone you wouldn't ask advise from. Your home and property are beautiful, and it is yours!

[@callielang-mangram4239]

I LOVE THIS TRUE FACT!!!

[@christysimoncini6890]

Congratulations for your son. I wouldn’t even read those negative comments. These keyboard warriors need to learn some manners.

[@vickihanson319]

Why do people have to be so critical? I enjoy everything you do , if people can’t say something nice , just don’t watch. Your a wonderful person. Blessings to you.❤❤

[@kaymurray4851]

Sometimes I think people that make rude comments do it on purpose to get a rile out of the subscribers. Ignore them. I bet they were bullies when they were in school!!!

[@normasnyder6177]

I don't understand how some people can be mean to someone so sweet and kind. We need more people like Mary. Keep on being the way you are. You add so much softness to this world. Thank You.

[@laura011110]

[@paulalim1476]

You win the internet today. ❤️❤️❤️

[@cinder8290]

I agree.

[@lisacrafton7485]

Yes she is a ray of sunshine.

[@natalieoaklander4920]

Unhappy people like to bring down those who have what they don't.

[@Peggy-f2p]

Your picket fence is gorgeous,,,,,whatever makes you happy! ❤❤❤

[@KM-vq4wg]

I always look forward to your videos Mary! I also love all your skirts; they look great on you. (They do NOT look like "Little House on the Prairie")! That comment was beyond ridiculous. Congrats to you and your family on your son's engagement! All the best!

[@schammond8993]

I agree. With the way women are dressing now it's nice to see someone dress decently. Mary is lovely inside and out.

[@ladybugmom10]

I happen to love the little house on the prairie look.

[@KM-vq4wg]

@@schammond8993 Exactly!! She's got class and morals which are severely lacking these days.

[@misslannie73]

Congratulations to your son and his future wife! Weddings are such fun. xx

[@janeevans4758]

Congratulations 💍 Kenny & Sophie ❤ I'm really happy for you both. Mary don't even read those horrible negative comments! They are more likely not a long time subscriber and a genuine watcher. People like that are just sad individuals and the only acknowledgement they require is hope for a change in mindset. Congratulations John & Mary on your soon to be Daughter in law ❤ wonderful news & congratulations to both family's 🎉❤.

[@JoanneCraft-Lane]

Ignore the negative comments! My mother taught me (when I was a girl) to do my own thing. She loved to garden and her motto was "my garden, my rules".

[@gramcc514]

Think of all who comment as Some Will (be positive) Some Won't (be positive) So What! Someone's Waiting. Next!

[@jenniferlinkous9444]

Mary, as always, Thank you for being you! The negativity that spews from others...well, let's just say that I am not surprised. Today's world is changing so fast and many have no respect or courtesy any more. You always handle yourself so elegantly. I LOVE your channel and your Etsy store product's and WHITE furniture. I do love color too, but you are right, the white seems to sell much better! Have a great rest of your day. Blessings sent from the Carolina's!🌼🙏🤍

[@AmyLouiseDens]

I'm not surprised, but I am exasperated at the critical spirit of so many questions. Makes me wonder if the tables were turned, how these critical commenters would like it. Love you, Mary

[@martinaconroy2328]

Mary hello from Ireland . Love watching everything you do god bless you . I love the stencil cabinet you did and adore your picket fence ❤

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Everything you create is beautiful.

[@laurieg2436]

I wear glasses all the time and I’m constantly cleaning them!!🤦🏼‍♀️

[@boysrus61]

I watch your videos for ideas. I don't understand why people feel the need to express a dislike when they could say it in their mind and move on. I don't like Brussel sprouts but I am not going to comment on a gardening video that the gardener should not grow them. That would be weird.

[@poodlegirl55]

My tip for reading glasses is once a day I wash mine in the sink with Dawn and warm water.

[@edieparastatides9403]

Me, too!

[@Firinne2023]

I concur with ALL the positive and kind comments on here! How RUDE of the one commenter. 🤨 Congratulations to your son and his fiancée! You are my #1 favorite KZbinr! ❤

[@jeanmullins3284]

❤❤❤ CONGRATULATIONS to your son and his fiance!! Love your channel, and I can't imagine criticizing anything you do. We all have our own preferences, and I'm so glad you share yours. Those that criticize should do their own channel and keep their opinions to themselves!!!❤❤❤❤

[@pamelarice2177]

You are so good and patient with those bottom comments! Please keep your wonderful attitude. I admire how you handle negative peoples comments

[@tammy6816]

Congratulations to Kenny and Sophie! Such a beautiful young couple! ❤

[@granciee7029]

Clean your glasses with dawn dish soap. Cuts the grease.

[@gailrhodes2859]

Dawn foam with a nice cloth is what I started using per a lady who works in an eye doctor office and it lasts so much longer than other things

[@roxanneklafehn8516]

I also dislike the negative comments...the mean-spirited ones. But I'm glad you include them. Your courteous and gentle responses are a model for us all to guard our tongue in all circumstances. Even when we feel attacked unfairly. God bless you, Mary I'll

[@ldfifer]

Congratulations to your son, how exciting. I hope we'll get to see some creative wedding ideas from you.

[@LianeLindsey-e2g]

The picket fence looks awesome in your landscape!❤️

[@shirleysirmons4251]

Love your video. Your rock garden is so beautiful.

[@lorraineearle5967]

Mary, I love your positivity in the face of trolls. ❤🇨🇦

[@lynneharwood1245]

Mary,I have been watching your channel since the very beginning and have to say that you get better and better each time I see a new posting! Thank you so much for sharing your projects and your life with us!! As for the negative comments, I remember my mother saying to me and my brothers, "If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all". I look forward to your next post, thank you again!

[@teresabell1014]

Love your skirt.😊 We would love to see your pictures.

[@Firinne2023]

Yes please! It’s very pretty.

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

So on trend!

[@natalieoaklander4920]

Looks cute!

[@christinabrooks5991]

Congratulations to your family on the engagement of your son Kenny. Interesting Q&A, although I think rude comments are unnecessary and unpleasant to listen too.

[@marksiezure3285]

The wall of windows makes a wonderful background to this video.

[@floraguerra3166]

I like all your videos and ideas

[@laurieg2436]

Woohoo a wedding!! Congratulations to you all!!♥️

[@carlajones1711]

I wonder why some people don't understand that everyone gets to be happy planing there own yards. I really enjoy your videos, also your property is beautiful. Thanks for ideas and sharing your beautiful land in your videos.

[@autumn7031]

Now is it really necessary to watch a channel and make sure to leave a rude remark? Click off as easily as you clicked on and learn some manners. If it's not your thing, move on. Honestly, the way people have been raised is astonishing. This woman is such a hard working, humble and kind person who shares her life for people to get inspiration or even relaxation from for FREE. And as busy as she is, still makes the time to interact with viewers and answer their questions. Come on, this should be valued not criticized. Mary handles herself and those who don't even deserve a response with grace. Speaks volumes of her. We are SO Fortunate to have people like Mary who are such lovely and kind people to watch and learn from compared to the absolute garbage that is on most channels and tv today! I am a fairly new watcher, and I appreciate everything you do, even if something wasn't my taste, it's still fun to watch and see different things! Mary is a lovely lady with a beautiful home & family, her kindness is endearing. To those making such hateful comments, go spend some time reviewing your own backyard. Thank you for all that you do and share with us Mary. You are just wonderful. Keep on keeping on :)

[@vickyyingling2252]

Congratulations to Kenny and Sophie! So happy for your entire family! Love your videos ❤

[@shirleysimcoe9356]

Stone and picket fence go together if you want. Beautiful!! It's your home 😊

I get eye glass wipes at Walmart where the vision area is. They come individually wrapped and work great!

[@cinder8290]

Mary I wear dresses all of the time and I sew, I was very interested to see how you made your pretty dresses and skirts. I never miss any of your videos because I enjoy them tremendously.

[@lorettavalmorbida7793]

Great video, Cong. to your son, thats always exciting.

[@donnamauriello8444]

Congratulations on the engagement!!!! Love your channel!!!❤

[@kimgraham4608]

Wow! I don’t understand the critical undertones of so many questions. Next time don’t even include those in your question and answer section. They really don’t deserve your time or ours either. You are a beautiful sole. Too bad everyone can’t be the same. Love your videos!❤

[@galaxia4709]

I liked and appreciated that she included it and gave genuine answers. Also, people have the right to give their opinion. And responding with suppression is like too much positivity = toxic

[@LindaBaker-l1b]

Precious, Mary, you are the sweetest, kindest, gentlest, most respectful, courteous, and golden hearted, Christlike woman. A beautiful role model for all of us. Congratulations to Sophie and Kenny! How blessed she is to be a part of your family! The stencil you used brings the cabinet to life, and the white picket fence adds so much beauty and charm to your property. Everything you touch turns to gold, in my opinion! God bless you and your loved ones❣️

[@sandym-p1984]

Hi Mary...Norwex cloths are perfect for cleaning glasses, windows and mirrors with just water

[@christinewilliams7005]

I would love to have a picket fence, too. It probably wouldn’t work out here because we have a cedar and stone house but I always dream of a white picket fence just like you, Mary!

[@jeanetteredmon3554]

Love your skirt. You look lovely.

[@mynameisnobody1]

I admire your attitude regarding the negative comments. I love watching you and enjoy all of the videos. As for the “little house on the prairie” comment, yes there are those of us that still choose to live modestly and am so very thankful for people like you and the content you post. Amazing talent, Mary. God Bless!

[@janehouston6822]

Mary, I love all your videos, they make me happy. I think at times you must make a lot of people happy, so when some poor self seaking creature send a nasty comment, just think of how many of us love you and all you do. Jane, Tucson AZ 14:44

[@melodytwitchell4898]

Hi Mary don't listen to mean people. You are bless amazing person congratulations on your son and future wife ❤️ love u

[@barbfrank917]

Mary please ignore any negative comments. Every youtube channel I watch has negative comments on it, so there's that. They don't even watch the channel but sending out negativity.

[@jenscloset]

That is funny! I always call myself a "greasy person" (even though i really am not!); but my glasses and phone do look pretty gross all the time!

[@susansolomon2770]

Loved hearing all you talked about Mary. You have an awesome channel! Thank you for all you do. Congratulations to your son on his engagement ❤

[@lisafriend5535]

Congrats to Kenny and Sofie. Have they set a date? I love every single video that you do, I was so excited to see Q and A pop up today.

[@karenlouder2665]

I think white is classic so adding color is not a big deal if someone wants a certain color

[@julieschossow9315]

Love everything you do and you are a blessing ❤

I love how you handle those bottom commenters….you have such class❤❤. Love your style and how you make everything so beautiful and practical. Congratulations on Kenny’s engagement! Keep well 😊

[@awyomingprairiewife.8385]

I love that you do you. I like so many country, prim, cottage decor, that I want to do it all. One style is boring. Thanks, Mary, for all the time you put into these videos for us. Congrats, on your son and future wife. What a blessing. Pray for you everyday. Blessings 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@laura011110]

When I watch your videos, I feel like I'm watching a beautiful faerie in her garden abode... 😊 Truly, to me, your videos are incredibly aesthetic and pleasing, like a 'home & garden' magazine. I absolutely love your channel and am amazed at your creativity and talent. I learn so much from you. You are the most lovely person, Mary. 😊❤~Laura, Washington state

Congratulations to All the family!❤️ Love your channel Mary!

[@junewrogg6137]

Mary, you are so sweet. You have a heart for Jesus and it comes through. Seriously rude for people to inflict their taste on you. You do what brings you Joy!!!! I loved the dress making video! (I love comfortable dresses) I'm a quilter and have never made clothes, BUT... after watching that video, I was so intrigued! When I get down to a fabric store in the city, I plan to buy some fabric and try your idea for a pattern. I loved going out west too! I took so many pictures, it is so incredible. I love your channel. Thanks for always being so joyful.

[@tete7958]

You do such wonderful work on everything you touch! You are making your home for you, not anyone else. People need to remember that and not leave such comments. Been watching you for years. Love the picket fence with the stonework. I love mixing different things together and making them my own. Guess that's why I have been watching you for years.

[@anngray398]

[@lisahoerr9713]

Mary, Love your skirt in this video- so classy! My glasses are always greasy and I thought it was just me! Congratulation on Kenny getting engaged! Tired furniture looks great when painted!

[@smh1072]

Congratulations to your son and husband fiancée. Wonderful news. Ignore the trolls Mary. We love you and your videos, and your skirts are lovely. You are so elegant. Xx

[@AuntGrace]

Love your videos. It’s like a nice visit with a friend who is busy doing cool stuff. Make me get up and do stuff 😅. PS. Love the dresses. I wear mine a lot. I watch another channel a gal about your age who is fashionable and that’s fun too. 💕

[@carolbeea]

Mary, The rock garden is breathtaking. If I lived on a property like yours, I would spend any extra second that I had outside.

[@gramcc514]

1:52. I buy disposable cleaning wipes made for eye glasses. 200 individually pkg'd & my grandson & I share them.

[@lovingmy3monkeys]

You mention being Amish and still talking in pen dutch. Can you make a video talking about your background and why your family left the Amish? I know some ex Amish here in Michigan and it's alway so interesting on their backgound and leaving but never really let go of that upbringing.

[@vaundamacpherson5727]

Your devotion to your family and ambition to create are exemplary. Thoroughly enjoy your podcast. The true Christian way would be to enjoy this for you, even if it weren't my interest. Keep it up, Mary, as long as the Lord gives you the energy to do it!

[@carlaking3459]

I just got back from a UTAH trip visiting family. Such a beautiful, mountainous state as well!!❤

[@patriciakumar115]

Great video, Mary. You handled the "bottom" comments with so much grace. It's hard for me to believe there are people out there who can be so unkind to such a beautiful human being as you. Shame on them. I love everything you share with us. Many thanks!

[@gramcc514]

Congratulations to your son on his engagement. Your Q&A are always fun. Lovely pictures. Thank you

Congratulations to Kenny on his engagement!!!! We watch cause we love you and your channel...... Beautiful tea party pics....

[@sheriebumgarner7065]

Mary enjoy your picket fence!!! I love them too. I also love your cute dresses. Don't pay attention to criticism that is just mean spirited.

[@michellehrowe360]

Rock garden, picket fence, "cottage plants", ALL look terrific! Your property is large enough to handle it and even if it wasn't whatever makes you happy is ok.

[@jackiegammon6854]

i love your "simple living" lifestyle, though you seem to work hard at it, and i wish i had half of your energy! Now, about those jar rings, i read somewhere that taking them off can also be a food safety thing, it allows the top to easily unseal or pop off if the food spoils...

[@JLBoer]

I looove the stone and picket fence with the flowers in front. Seems to work for the Cotswolds in England. Their fences are a natural color, however, your house is white so it works.

[@hollyhock1197]

Thank you for all your wonderful videos on your channel. You and your husband have talents that God has bestow upon you. I love all the things you do. I recently made your tomato 🍅 juice soup with our garden tomatoes. It was so delicious. You always inspire me to be creative. Keep up the good work! 🤗

[@susan-sn7jg]

I love all of what you do including the white picket fence. People that have bad comments are just showing where they stand and where they are in life. Lost. Keep enjoying life and have a wonderful week. 🌻🌄🌻

[@jenniestacy1466]

Love your sweet spirit. I love that you ware dresses and skirts. The little house on the Prarie comment was uncalled for. They should look how women in Milan Italy and other fashionable women dress. It makes you wish American women would get a clue. Thank you for sharing.

[@maryannkilduff8659]

Congratulations on your son's engagement, very exciting time for your family! Enjoy this beautiful Fall season! 🍁🧡🍂

[@gina2464]

Little house on the prairie? Really! That was just being mean. Some people are so used to seeing women dressed with their cleavage low and hem lines high. Plus you have an amazing figure, jealous people have nothing good to say

[@sunnisue524]

By the way, I’m an eighty year old great great grandmother and I so wish I was still able to do the projects that you do. I did these things in the past but health issues restrict me. I live my past projects through you now and I am so thrilled to watch your videos even with those restrictions that my body restricts. Thank you, God bless you and your family!!

[@lailayen765]

Nope! Wearing them all thw time does NOT make the glasses less greasy😅 you get cooking steam on them when you cook, nose marks every time you kiss the hubby, water stains when you’re out in the rain… you name it. I have a routine where I try to remember to wash them wit dish soap and hot water in the evening as I brush my teeth. ☺️🥸and I love your white garden fence❤️

[@gramcc514]

23:53 I watch your videos for inspiration and to support the type of content I enjoy seeing on KZbin. Mary, you are sharing a glimpse into your life and I for one am so appreciative you do. Be blessed my dear!

[@traceykusser368]

Congratulations and best wishes to Kenny and Sophie! ❤️ As always, I really enjoy your Q&A videos. 😊 It’s no surprise to me that a lot of people enjoy your videos; even those who contribute the bottom comments because they are watching. Why they choose to be snarky is purely about them. I watch because I find your videos inspiring and enjoy the beauty you show us is available in our lives if we seek it. Thank you for sharing us. 🙏🥰

[@susanhaddan4633]

You're always so gracious with the "not so nice" comments. I don't know why people feel the need to criticize like that. You look so nice in the leopard print skirt! Congrats to your son, too!!

[@schammond8993]

Each to their own. I think rock and picket fences go together. Your landscape is lovely and besides you live there not youtube viewers. Your home should be filled with what you love the way you love it. God's Blessings Mary

[@brendastover8761]

Love, love your picket fence. It doesn't "ruin" anything.

[@gramcc514]

19:44 The rings are reusable as Mary says. Generally the lids are not. And the lid is what keeps it sealed. The ring holds the lid in place until the item is sealed and safe. For us it's economical as we don't need to have 60 rings for 60 jars. We can just get by with 24 rings.

[@michelegrigg4952]

Since you answered so many viewers videos, I thought I would answer yours. I watch your videos for a few reasons. They are so interesting. I learn so much new information, especially on refinishing furniture. They are also peaceful and calming in a very loud and busy world. I, for one, need this resting place for my mind. Thank you for sharing bits of your life with me. I look forward to seeing you each week.

[@gramcc514]

22:51 Lol. You say "embarrassing" yet I hear such an appreciation of nature!

[@cheryldolan5555]
