I don't think I've ever seen anyone lose about forty years of age as fast as did Stephanie when Phillip asked how her Dutch was progressing. It was classic hand in the cookie jar time. Like another reader noted, the old "deer in the headlights" look. Stephanie's eyes are pretty big, but this is the first time seeing them like dinner plates. I think later, Lucie's gonna have some 'Splainin' to do.

[@crystal-eb5rf]

Phillips face when you ignored the instructions and just started pressing buttons was priceless . Mildly outraged 😂

[@user-oc2mt8kf2j]

The sewing machine experience was like watching a sitcom. So funny, those looks that Philip gave Steph.

[@jomeyer13]

ricky and lucy

[@lotusdolphin]

Ricky and Lucy for sure! It was hilarious

[@1kssrn]

I have the big Brother machine and do a lot.

[@anita-ti5ll]

I'm with Philip! Read the instructions! It saves time and frustration. He's a wise man. I would have so much fun with that too. After the instructions were read. I hope we see a lot of your creations to come. Bon chance!

[@tatianafarthing9936]

It is so touching and heartwarming to see how much you all love Jared and he loves you all. So tender to have friends that you connect with on a deep level and it makes your soul sing. The little moment of the group hug speaks volumes about how you guys treat each other and love each other. That's why i love watching chateau diaries because it is not paid movie actors, but real people. I hope I can visit this place soon!

[@lisaa8437]

Couldn’t agree more! That had me in tears!

[@smoothsilk47]

Yes, the whole concept of communal living came together at this moment, we arn’t designed to live alone, I’d love to live in this situation, there is every plus & very few minuses, I really love watching, long may it survive! John in Monmouth x

[@joycasto9006]

Visiting Chateaux de Lalande is on my bucket list. I want to personally feel the energy, pray for the chapel, pick flowers and chase chickens! Perhaps even bake bread for my friends who don't know me yet!

[@joycasto9006]

Stephanie is like me, I like to learn as I do.

[@CarmenShenk]

I’ve never even met Jared but I was moved by that moment and wiping my own tears. What a gentle artistic soul! 🩷🩵💜

[@mavep2855]

Loved seeing Amaury’s workshop, it is amazing and very well organized. One special spirit departs (Jarred) and another arrives (Cat). The new sewing machine will be very useful and a lot of fun. Let your creativity flow! Hats off to Marie for her garden plans and to Maria for yet another delicious and exquisite dinner. Thanks Stephanie and Philip🙏❤️

[@susannerousseau7311]

Hopefully Amury won’t have to move his workshop again .

[@GretaRdum-bq9ez]

That will show lack of respect for him.

[@lornanorris1363]

As much carpentry thats been going on in the chateau it does need to be permanent

[@RTCPhotoWork]

I feel like he's been building and tearing down workshops for a year of the whole time he has lived/worked at the chateau.

[@Sgirl]

​​@@sandraford4235He visited as a volunteer numerous times previously and has become a well-loved friend. I think this time he was just visiting as a friend before making the move back to the U.S. (he'd been living in Amsterdam)

[@gnarbeljo8980]

​@@sandraford4235isn't he just a volunteer friend who helps with whatever he can be useful with?

[@Ldyrev1]

I have two embroidery machines but beware the items in your pretty box are more for hand sewing. Embroidery is a very deep well. Once you get started you'll be needing many more things to make beautiful things. You'll need cones of thread, bobbin thread, stabilizers and I could go on and on and on. It's very habit forming. You're going to love it. I do! The tension is not off you need to back your fabric eith a stabilizer.

[@kaeru12345678]

In high school we had this mandatory life skill course we had to take. It wasn't home economics, and we learned stuff like writing checks, budgeting, resumes, etc. But there was a room that we spent half the semester in that had like 10 or so different stations with different things to learn, and we had to choose only 2. I chose lasers and embroidery. They had a big embroidery machine that was so much fun to use, and I got to play with it for about a month.

[@patricianathan4676]

Oh what a lucky girl. ❤WCL

[@Skattie]

Oh wow, i want one of those , the embroidery machine ❤

[@Mayven8]

Love that!

[@roxanneparisher6698]

Ugh I just love Amaury’s organization! Makes my brain so happy 😂

[@MYJ61]

I absolutely loved the look on Stephanie’s face when she replied to Philip’s inquiry as to her learning Dutch! Mmm Hmm. ❤

[@margielynch7196]

I am wondering if between Stephanie and Dan, will Nick ever work for anyone else.Great day when Nick the tree acrobatic came on board ❤

[@carolinegooder7091]

Nick stated he wants to semi-retire soon. So we will see if those two forests are his last two big projects. Cameron may become the next arborist. ❤

[@christinevr7698]

Cameron seems about as passionate about trees, and forest maintenance/landscaping. Under Nick’s tutelage he will be wonderful to continue the work, although I sincerely hope Nick doesn’t retire too soon. It’s amazing watching someone with that much experience and skills at work.

[@joycestempa5647]

Cat makes my day every time she’s there!!! She’s my GOAT. Philip is hilarious. I swear he’s a 70 year old trapped in the body of a 25 yr old - in a positive way, of course!! Philip, don’t feel bad Honey, my 21 yr old son is leaps & bounds more mature than both his 27 & 35 yr old brothers, so I get you!!! Happy you guys have a new toy, I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot of it this winter season…. I can just see the Easter table now with every conceivable woodland creature embroidered on every napkin, tablecloth and seat cushion. Anyhoo - Enjoy!! CHEERS

[@MsRoslet]

OK, you need to use an embroidery interfacing/ stabiliser when you are working, then you will not get the issues with the tension on your work. You probably need to look at water soluble stabilisers which will work really well. I reckon that you have already realised that you can use white as the bobbin colours but look at either Gutermann or Brother embroidery threads and then just enjoy the adventure! Wait until you find what is out there on the internet to start sewing!

[@snoopybluejeans]

Stabilizers are a must. Now if she had of read the instructions she would of come across that-lol

[@annbardue3473]

Yes. And that is no doubt a topic in the manual.😉

[@hollykeller1545]

I’m certain Stephanie will read the manual.

[@lindathornhill4089]

She should get a cutting mat, cutting wheel, and a clear ruler for those curtains. I am looking forward to the winter sewing adventure

[@iggle6448]

What's a stabiliser? All I can think of is a piece of some sort of material attached to the back of the piece which is also sewn into. Then removed when the job's done. ??

[@annbardue3473]

Nick is lovely “in motion” even tho he’s working with big toys, he’s so skilled it’s like watching a dance. That redwood is spectacular and I can’t wait to see what is done with it! I see monograms all over pillow cases, sheets, towels and hand towels in bathrooms in the chateau logo! A special touch of luxury. It’s great to see Kat too! Have a wonderful week!

[@elisaesskew6954]

My husband is a plumber of 40+ years. Watching him set the plumbing in a new house is like magic.

[@tmjb00]

I’m with Philip, read the safety instructions. There is always something(s) in it that you can’t assume will explain itself. Bravo, Philip!

[@chemokiki]

Blown away by the milling, then again by the sewing machine ... but nothing topped Philip's face when confronted about reading the instructions first! Your channel is THE BEST on KZbin!

[@patricianathan4676]

Oh yes❤

[@kellyg9237]

The look on his face when she popped the camera over the machine...literally lol 😂

[@WendeKelly3]

As a professional seamstress, I’m so excited for your new sewing machine! You’re going to love it!!!

[@yummboy2]

Really happy to see Nick and his bandsaw mill producing not just usable lumber, but premium grade as well. Very nicely done, you lot! Watching Jared leave made my nose sting. Congrats on the new sewing machine! Lots more creative fun to be had.

[@roselaura-gracesing4968]

Philipp Reading the instructions while Stephanie starts everything and then needing him right away! 😂 we really do need him there with you, Steph! He is so helpful! I like you two together ❤

[@nicolethijs5428]

Why should you order bulbs in the UK and pay income taxes on it when all the bulbs are grown in Holland. Most of the Dutch bulb growers like Peter Nijssen, Farmer Gracy , Fluwel all send flower bulbs to France.

[@tinekejoldersma]

@@nicolethijs5428 Absolutely, even Rosanne in Minnesota buys them there. And for free delivery over a certain amount.

[@wellnone9367]

Fabulous sewing machine! What a gift. AND, it was great to see Amaury again - his appreciation for the natural resource, wood, off the estate is great, and harmonious with the natural world we live in. Sounds like he is going into a one-man mass production project.

[@Ana-Maria-Sierra]

Loving the new sewing machine! Your and Phillips’s different approaches to learning are sooo typical and humorous!

[@lorrainel2314]

Don’t tell me that technology hasn’t improved our lives 🙂 Threading the needle is the bane of my existence especially with failing eye sight 🙌🌟

[@lindamitman4538]

Steph and Phillip will have so much fun with that new embroidery machine. I love that he is a direction reader - I am too!

[@annbardue3473]

When Stephanie went off pushing buttons and things, I thought Phillips head would explode! 😂

[@tamaliaalisjahbana6849]

Philip is so patient. Look at his face when Marie says that they should order all their many seeds fromEngland. Philip says nothing but he is no doubt thinking that the best seeds in the world come from Holland and that they have everything and that ordering them from Holland would probably be faster, easier and a lot less expensive.

[@robynbohbot3709]

Oh my goodness - such a fun time watching Stephanie get caught by Phillip not studying her Dutch... so funny. And I love that Phillip is all business and reading all the manuals. And my heart broke as you all said your good byes to Jared - such a sweet and talented young man - I hope he visits again soon.

[@crae3422]

Cat!!! It is so good seeing her at Lalande. Appreciate Amaury's explanation of how his new shop is going to be more efficient for him. Hope Jared can return soon. Then there is Nick. He is a god send. Don't know what you and Dan would do without him. The thing is, all the Lalande family are remarkable in their own ways, and that speaks volumes to the kind of people you value and who value you. Have fun with the new sewing machine. Oh, have a question. Where is the cut flower garden going to be? Very glad you're doing that. Stay safe and be well. Best wishes to all.

[@janetplanet09]

If only I could keep my tools as tidy as Amery. I bought a rolling tool chest (it’s really for car mechanics) but I’m so bad at putting things back in their designated spot. Bravo Amery-you are so disciplined!

[@angelroseglow]

Philip's face expressions the whole time while Stephanie with playing with the sewing machine were too good. I couldn't stop laughing! 🤣

[@Raxx777]

I paused this at 29:19 to read a text and when I looked back at the screen the smile on Philip's face and the expression on his face was just so full of love and tender amusement- so touching and wonderful.

[@LorraineinPNW]

That sewing machine is amazing!

[@richaelblewett5068]

So lovely to see Cat again! And the embroidery machine from Brother looks like it's going to be lots of creative fun during the winter months. Cheers everyone! 🥂🍾🎆

[@joannedavidman6773]

so glad to see Amuary's workshop is starting to get in a great place. And that sewing machine is amazing

[@user-wq1bl8ou7d]

You need to use stabilizers for embroidery to prevent puckering etc. There are various stabilizers depending on the design and fabric. Also get a huge cone of white thread for the bottom/bobbin.

[@elisabeth6108]

So right. Besides the usual ones, there are ones that disappear with the touch of an iron and ones that dissolve in water when you're finished so you can make them disappear when you've finished your design.

[@beckywhiteside8147]

Also, be aware that embroidery can be a bottomless pit of costs. Stabilizers, special threads, designs, kits, etc all add up very quickly. Ask me how I know! I showed your video to my hubby - he loved the workshop & tree portions, then bust out laughing when he saw the sewing machine. Just cause I own maybe 6? BTW, there are plenty of videos online about the machines & embroidery process.

[@heartoflyn]

That’s probably covered in the instructions that weren’t read completely! 🤣😂

[@ChristineKelly1000]

Amourys’ OCD for organising sings to my soul! I’d LOVE to be this organised!😊❤

[@cynhanrahan4012]

Wow, the footage of Nick milling the timber harvested on LaLande, even though the trees were mostly removed for the safety of the buildings. The new embroidery machine looks like lots of fun, I've only embroidered by hand when I was younger and my hands were more nimble. I can't wait to see what lovely things it produces!

[@hilltopgirl2665]

God bless Brother! What a gift!! Very happy for you, Steph and Phillip. Looking forward to seeing new work. That workshop of Amaury is fabulous. So much to look forward to- can hardly wait.

[@peterwhite9261]

Amaury, you are a master craftsman. Nick cutting and milling all of that wood is a game changer for the chateau. Safe travels, Jared. You are loved and will be missed. Welcome back, Kat. Marie, your arrangements are beautiful. Maria, your menus are exceptional. Phillip, the table setting as always, beautiful, even though the soup spoons were missing. LOL. That embrace machine is going to be so much fun and functional. I see merchandise sales in your future. You all looked so lovely. ❤

[@judynail1690]

Loved every minute!! Can’t wait to see what you embroider. Philip, this would be perfect for your own vlog to show us what you’ve decided to do and how it’s fine. Brother might have found an avid audience here.

[@dianaelizabethbashford3797]

Steph a few years ago my husband bought me a Brother FS sewing machine. i absolutely love it as it is so easy to use. I hadn't sewn since leaving school many years ago but since having this machine I can sew, applique and do a little bit of free embroidery. You will all have such fun using it. X

[@neilchisholm797]

Stephanie, I too was sponsored by Brother. I was an appliqué artist and quilter and was invited to demonstrate at craft shows. They donated to me a fabulous machine that literally did everything (except embroidery). I produced some great quilts and some of the designs when on to win quilt shows around the world. My designs, not my own quilts! One even won at ‘the’ quilt show in Paducah! They are great machines. Just you wait until you discover all its hidden talents - you may need to read the instruction manual to discover them though! I’m so glad that Amaury is taking time to set up his new workshop just how he likes it. I was worried that with him having to move from his original workshop and moving out of the chateau with Nati it was only a matter of time before the both spread their winds and flew off into the sunset. If he is doing so much to set up his new station, I don’t feel that their leaving is so imminent! Oh I’m going to miss Jared. But I think that Pavlina is going to miss him more. They are true soul mates, their creativity knows no bounds. I know he will be back but it will be a while as he has his own projects and goals to fulfil in Florida. I wish him and his partner every success. This was truly a lovely vlog, so much going on. And so many teasers as to what we will see in the near future, lots of crafting I think. You mentioned the fact you were planning to set up a sewing room next to a wood heater, is the central heating system not operational yet? Please tell me you’re not going to suffer another cold winter in the chateau. With love to all La Landers from Neil in Australia 🇦🇺

[@GrandmaRM]

Pavlina looks beautiful in the blue and white dress! 🙌

[@lisaakinlabi]

Can I just say how awesome it is that the wood of LaLande being used in the chateau is happening, priceless! I admire Amaury so much for his work ethic, attention to refining his workspace and ensuring his job is always perfection. Then Marie she is equally enthused and does her job to perfection as well. I always felt kindly about Marie. Everyone at LaLande makes their job a high quality standard to be admired.

[@TarnishedTreasures1]

I found a Souleiado shirt at a thrift store last week for $5. I’ve kept my eyes open every time I go Thrifting ever since you visited the store and filmed it. I knew I’d find something and it finally happened.

Amaury is so amazing. You are lucky to have him.

Love seeing Stephanie's dad's paintings around the chateau. Layers of history and artifacts enhance the chateau and modern art should be no exception! Longer shots or even an art tour of his paintings would be greatly enjoyed.

[@carolinegooder7091]

I love all wood furniture and paneling (i grew up with paneling). Now Amaury can replace all of Lalande's paneling that was lost during the fire. Nick milling all the redwood will result in something fantastic for the Chateau.

[@srqlisa7881]

I would love to see a new kitchen table. That redwood is gorgeous. Kat is my favorite guest she always cracks me up. And she is just so adorable.❤ Stephanie you are always so sweet you are always thinking of others in whatever you do.

Wow, Amaury is doing an incredible job again on his new workshop! Always amazing to watch Nick and Cameron!! Sad to see Jared leave, but thrilled to see Cat is back!

[@smac4565]

Embroidery is an art and their is a lot to learn. It is so much more than learning to sew. It is also an expensive hobbie. You can get designs for all most anything you want like Philip’s bees. Etsy has vendors that sell all kinds of things along with other companies that sell stabilizer, thread, bobbins etc. it takes patience to learn how to hoop your garment, what type of stabilizer to use, which designs are too dense for your fabric, how to troubleshoot the machine. Most often the problem is a built up of thread in the bobbin case or you did not hoop it correctly. Good luck. There are a ton of Facebook group that offer advice.

[@tinacarrol6702]

So Much to catch up on again. Amaury’s doing a fantastic job, so thorough in every detail. Really enjoyed Nick's on the spot filming, its amazing what's being repurposed at La Lande.

I love that you will be using the wood from the felled trees of LaLande . Nick is so talented , wow ! So happy to see Cat! Marie I love that your planning bulbs and saving seeds for next year.

May I suggest that you get a rubber mat to put under your machine for noise and movement. An old yoga mat works great for that.
