Bonus Video - it was either this or a sledgehammer!

- You might have seen the neon video? You almost didn't because iMovie decided to behave very badly and would not allow me to upload it as I have easily uploaded scores of videos before . Only a CZcams search after many many frustrating hours provided the solution that worked.
While it was working, I covered a box with fabric to stop myself from exploding with frustration. You get to come along for the ride!
Lucky you
Kate

thank you for watching
Hello Kate. Don’t ever apologize for any content you create and share. Your visits are like I’m visiting a very good friend , comfortable and at ease. You will never make everyone happy, you said it perfect “ that’s what the delete button is for” Keep what your doing ...your doing it GREAT!
I expect that you won’t likely see this comment, given that this video is 2 years old. However, I’ve been watching a few of your older videos in the middle of the night lately. I recently broke my elbow and can only manage sleeping for two hours at a time, Tonight my lineup consists of colourwash liberty quilts, this one, and neon is next. I find your voice to be like a warm hug. I hope that doesn’t sound weird! .
Thank you, Kate, for keeping me company in the middle of a restless night. 💜
Stay well!

I agree. Sometimes I just turn on Kate to get my perspective back. To get back to center and get on with it!😊
I've been doing the exact same thing! I've been recovering from pneumonia and having trouble sleeping. I put Kate on and her quiet attitude and soft voice helps me zone out and find sleep. Thank you, Sweet Kate.
These are my favourite videos where you just chat and physical or mentally "clean out drawers". Thank you.
I'm glad to know you have your lovely stone farmhouse to shelter you and the cats on such a day, and sweet Norma to cheer you at the end.
Sorry about that damned technical nonsense... it drives me crazy too. Thanks for the chat though, I spent some much needed rest time watching a woman in the U.K. glue fabric onto a box. I could not be more grateful Kate. 😎🤗🤗🤗
“Things aren’t important people are”love that sage advice, lovely
Enjoyed sitting on the lime green sofa and listening to a friend...❤
We really do appreciate all that you do in making your videos. Just know that all the frustrations you go through (and we know it’s not always like that) are worth it for us if that makes sense. So put the sledgehammer away, keep your hair on and thank you 🙏 it’s always so nice spending time with you Kate 🌺
the metaphorical sledgehammer is back in the cupboard! xxx thank you xxx
thanks - the computer replacement cost would not have been worth the tantrum! ha ha!! xxx

Hi Kate. I started binge watching your videos last night and came across the ones of the EPP dog. I have tried EPP in the past with hexagons, and it nearly drove me crazy. But over the last winter I had total knee replacement surgery, and I started doing some small project hand quilting. I found that I quite liked being able to sit and do a hand sewing project and not always sitting at my sewing machine or standing at my longarm. So when I came across your EPP dog, I decided to try it. So far, I have seven of the squares basted and am enjoying it very much. And as soon as I can get everything together, I’m also going to make a journal using your method. Quilting and reading will always be my favorite ways to spend my time, but I am enjoying learning and trying new things from your videos. I’m from Louisiana USA.
Looks like both of you and I are doing the same thing, binging on old videos. Fairly new to Kate’s channel, and I’m loving it. And I always thought EPP would be too hard and frustrating, but Kate convinced me to try it as well. I recently started my own hexagon quilt about a month ago and I’m loving it too.!
Kate has inspired me to start a lot of new things. See you on the limelight green sofa. 😊
I felt immediate relief for you when you mentioned the freshly brewed pot of coffee. Something about coffee, rainy days, bad moods; they just go together with a crafting "frenzy". How awesome is the internet that we can watch you work through it. Nice bit of brush work with the glue and sort of stabbing at those bits of fabric.
@17:30 Norma's purring is so comforting!
You are quite right about the delete and volume buttons, that's why they are there. I am a crochet person and subscribe to learn techniques and patterns. I had to delete 2 people because it started to be more of a shopping show. Now your channel I like because you do a little bit of everything and I do like the sound of your voice, I find it relaxing. As a matter of fact, I'm subscribing as soon as I'm done with my comment. Thank you💗
Hi Lupe
Your name is amazing 💚
my little girl is called Alva
Have a good day x
Lupe Alvarado thank you! Happy to have you here! Xxx
You are such good company! Such a pleasure to share your days with you. Thank you!!🥰
Heck I can watch and listen to you no matter what is going on within The Last Homely House
Aww I just love videos like this Kate! I feel like I have been sitting up to the table next to you, watching you craft. In fact I hope it is a big table with lots of chairs because there must be dozens of us all sitting there in spirit lol. Thanks for making us smile Kate. Sending hugs to you and your furry family xxx
TheScentedPath I’m sitting here as well, what a great place to be at. Thank you Kate.
its a big table - big enough for all of you! xxx
That’s exactly how I felt as well, you described it so well (the scented path). And thanks Kate for being you.
Yes exactly...I’m at the table with you guys and I am relaxed and learning! Oh yes, I’m also distracted with the cats!!

We consider it a privilege that you are willing to vent and share your frustrations with us! Thank goodness you persevered and fixed everything, You are a treasure and we are behind you 100 percent. Your videos cheer me everyday! Hugs.
Wonderful that you use your creativity to help not being stressed... beautiful little box❤
We love any and all videos. Your methods of getting calm even calm me when I watch. Thank you for being you.
Oh, Brother Where Art Thou? One of my favorite movies of all time. Thanks, Kate.
Love how Norma positions herself between you and the buzzy neon. 💝 Cats are very protective of their humans. 🐱💕
You always make me smile- even when you get frustrated like the rest of us. When it's my turn, I now know to grab a box, fabric scraps and glue. 💕 lovely
You and Norma are always a bonus for my day! Have a lovely time visiting your friend and dad. Don't go all "Office Space" on your computer! We'd all be crying. :( Sometimes you just need a mindless, calming task to let go and reset. Thanks for the chat, even if I'm two days late...
I loved this! It's something I love to do when I'm frustrated too. And then when I donate some things to the thrift stores they just might come in a cute little box made with glue and scraps (paper or fabric) And still to this day some people can't find the "delete" button. Love your videos.
My Dearest Kate,
Those of us that have been with you since the beginning , love tour videos just as you do them. We love the quirky sense of humor and realism of your videos. Sadly one of the realities of getting a large number of subscribers,is that you often get haters. People whose lives are so terrible that they feel the need to try to bring down others who have found joy and success in what they do!
Pay these haters no mind Kate, you keep doing YOU, as that is why we subscribed to you to begin with.
Thank you for the bonus video Kate! 😄😃
Much Love,

Joseph Reid hi Joe, thanks for your support, here and on Patreon, so much appreciated xxx
@@thelasthomelyhouse I wish I could support more, but being on a small disability pension, I am just unable to right now....❤
I’m grateful! Please only do so if you can afford to, I wouldn’t want you to do without! Xxxxxxx
Glad you chose to vent this way rather than with a sledgehammer 🙂
Oh those sledgehammer days!!! Thank you for all you do Kate. It is all really appreciated in so many ways.
and you're still smiling! Strong but gentle--that's you.
Dear Kate, hello from California
I’m so happy to watch you covering the boxes with little bitty scraps. It wounds me to throw away any fabric and I always have thread everywhere I can glue some wads on my boxes. Thank you very much….also potato chip bark is my next project
Always love your spontaneous chats, even if they are born out of frustration. Glad we could all be here to help you along the way. Hugs from across the ocean.
Good way to get your frustrations out, make something pretty and useful. Love Norma at the end, she was marking the box as hers. Such a pretty cat. I find myself smiling alot when I watch your videos, thanks. Have a wonderful day. :)
You are a very special person, and you just go thru what we all do one day or another. You are loved.😊
yes!!!!! Love her .
Love your box! Nothing better to relieve stress than crafting!
Great healthy mindset Kate... and this is WHY I love you and your channel.
Norma is such a love. What a lovely bond you two have. I enjoy watching all your videos, please keep them coming!
I love your attitude. And I Love your patchwork curtains that I saw when you showed us the cats. The curtains have a beautiful light. They look like stain glass windows. :)
Oh Kate....I had myself a chuckle when you mentioned getting the sledge hammer 😂😂😂. It reminded me of day I was mowing the grass and the lawnmower kept dying on me. Dear hubby came around the corner of the house with a sledge hammer and put it out of its misery .😅😂😅 wish had a video of that moment. Lol ❤
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
My friend is visiting me, we are sitting outside, knit and watched this video. We both envy the lady who picked up the quilt and was able to spend some time with you and have a cup of tea 🫖. Really Kate, how I would love to have a neighbor like you. Take care and have a wonderful week! (I am not even sure you notice comments on “old” videos) Love Stephanie 🇩🇪

The Last Homely House and my whole world falls back into place. I’m now thinking William Morris scraps and shoe boxes!! Thanks Kate….
Pennie By The Sea
Unexpected surprises are wonderful. Beautiful box. And it appears to be Norma approved.
Loved the box, those Liberty scraps look fab. Friendship is all about tea and wittering on, so please carry on. The rest of us on the Lime Green sofa don't mind a bit. Love from 🏴 Land of Dragons.
Fantastic decoupage box💕 technology at times can drive us batty😡 love your neon strike!
I just love hanging around "with" you, Kate! You're always up to your elbows in something that looks like lots of mrssy fun!
Cute little box! Technology is wonderful when it works, but SO frustrating when it doesn't because we have become so dependent upon it. TFS, Kate!
It's raining here too. It's 10 pm on Thursday. My husband went to the doctor today to find out he needs a new knee joint. Then I couldn't find some things I needed for a project. Next week I might get to sew. But life does hand us roses. The flowers are blooming and I found this video. So, life is good. Take care, enjoy life and I really enjoy your videos.
See Canon sending love to you for that surgery- never a welcome thing, but it should help in the long run? Take care xxx
I love the box idea!It is so cute to see Norma trying to make you feel better!I love the purring!And they say cats don't care about people.
I love The Holdovers..think you and all our message friends would smile..
I often need a frustration outlet, and this would be the perfect idea. I have lots of Scrappy bits I can't part with, and now I see how I can use them. Thanks for sharing this.
Indeed. I thought immediately that the neon sculpture was Harry's scar. Well done!
These are my favorite videos, Kate. I love the both spontaneous projects and the conversation. I also love the cats. Thanks for sharing with us.
So theraputic watching you do your box full of lovley liberty and norma's purring thankyou for sharing x jeane
Oh Dear Kate... I feel your pain! 😂😂! Truly I do! I have blogged for years and years and now have started a vlog on CZcams, and I am so frustrated with how long everything takes. I don't have an editing program, I don't even have a camera, like you did I use my iPad, my phone, and my SLR...and really I don't have clue what I am doing.
In desperation I sat down in my studio yesterday, tore through every drawer and container I own and made some of my dress cards. I made enough to send some birthday greetings, but the mess in my studio lingers.... Love your box idea...have done that with boxes and containers...
Talk about tearing ones hair out...every time you lift that gorgeous box of Liberty scraps...my hands travel to my head!
Deep breath...hug a cat... Your day will get better!
Dale from Canada
I just found all kinds of personal pics on my Instagram 😱 deleted those right quick!!! Ugh!
Whatever The Weather May Be until you try your hand at YouTubing you’d never know how complicated and time consuming it can be! Good luck with your channel! Xxx
My goodness I loved this! Reminded me others are human too not just me! It's like visiting with a friend. Love Norma!
Thanks Kate, glad to see Norma looking well. I was happy to sew my little felt flowers and watch you gluing. I did watch your Neon video, well done for trying something really different. Keep doing what you do as your You tube friends love following you on your crafty journey. Love from Ocean Grove.
Great to see positive stress-relief video. Nothing like turning a frustration into a win .
We probably all had a cup of tea ' with ' you . So that's a win/win for us all . X
What a way to get your frustrations out - make something. I'll have to take your advise. My brother's advise to me when I was frustrated and vented to him one day. He said for me to go down to the river by my house and scream. I think that would have scared the wildlife that hangs out by this river. Don't want them to leave. So, I could do a silent scream and watch the river flow by to relax my frustrations. I'm thinking he was saying you need to take a break and remove yourself from the situation and find something lovely to look at. Maybe? Well, that is what I find that you do. Take a negative and make it a positive. I'm learning. Thanks for sharing!
melanie settle yes, you be kind to those critters! Most frustrations are about nothing important when you look back.... there is so much suffering in the world, I don’t need to add to it with my petty problems! Xxx perspective! ❤️
So sorry you had such a bad day with the video problem. But so glad to see another video. I don't know why people are critical of any part of a video you put out for us. I love your choices in music, content, etc. You work so hard to give us such fun and you are so inspiring to me and others. I've learned so much from you, had so many laughs. It is wonderful to be able to share your life. Your new box looks like a castle to me. Liberty Castle Box.....Keep up the wonderful work!!!
Liked this video.. better than the neon workshop.. my kind of thing.. thank you xxx
Norma is such a sweety and I love the purr sound track. Plus the box was a great idea o help destress.
You made lemons into lemonade. And you showed me a way I can have fun with fabric even though I don't sew. I often save sturdy cardboard shoe boxes to use as organization/storage bins instead of buying plastic junk. I am going to have a go at covering them with pretty fabric. Thank you for the inspiration!
So glad I found your channel. Lovely to see your ability to count your blessings and make lovely things even amongst frustrations.
Nice visit Kate. Love the Liberty box. Your mention of a sledge hammer reminded me of my late husband when things went wrong. He had a sledge he called "Big Bertha" to deal with frustrations. Still miss him so much even after almost 5 years. Please keep doing what you do. xxx Kathy
kathy oneal sending love Kathy xxxxx
I knew you were going to say "oh Brother where art thou" such a lovely film!
It’s interesting how we all love your videos, but can’t agree on the music! That was a fun little project. I’ve preserved boxes with decorative packing tape, but I’ve never mod podged fabric - good idea! TFS!
I get frustrated when I can’t watch my friends on CZcams. 🙁 I miss my friends. The purring was wonderful. Always happy to visit with you. Your box is beautiful! Take care and have a wonderful day.
If you cut a piece of cardboard to fit bottom It will make the base stronger. This would be good to sell in your store because not everyone can afford liberty fabrics for this purpose but if you use scrap or what is known as cabbage of any colourful fabrics, what a wonderful way to display artwork. I adore liberty fabrics.
Thank you for sharing your videos. All of us 'nest builders' enjoy the type of activities you share and the 'home feeling' you inspire. Uploads aren't always smooth so we appreciate your willingness to put your time into it.
It's been a pleasure listening to you rabbiting on! I too had a terrible week for technology my work pc died! Lovely to get lost on the lime green sofa. Thankyou Kate.
Kate, I have to share that I just adore your videos. I found your channel about a week or so ago and I’ve been watching your videos at night before bed. I think I’ve been sleeping better, deeper and calmer after one of you chats.
Reference “the music”. You can’t please everyone. I like all your videos and the music choices. The board behind you looks very interesting. It was a pleasure to listen to you vent your frustrations. Most people wouldn’t be quite as civil as you were.
Glad everything worked out in the end and that no sledgehammers had to be used. Thanks for the bonus video. The box is lovely.
You and I touch hands across the miles. Here in Colorado Springs, Colorado, we too have a rather dreary day. Spitting water and turning it into ice and snow. And today, my four cats are staying in, just like yours. We’ve been finishing up some housework. I laugh at how cats offer to fold socks, but are bewildered when they can’t.
I’m a new subscriber and align with your common sense and wisdom. I love the Liberty fabrics! I’m currently working on a Birthday quilt for a dear friend and a baby quilt for a baby boy due in late summer. This baby will be another wonderful friend’s second Great-Grandchild. And that’s a clue to the fact that my friends and I are enjoying gray hair and wrinkles. *Sigh*
So, hello from Colorado and keep up the good work at fighting back those frustrating feelings!
Gayle Gordon I’m enjoying my grey hair and wrinkles too! And folding socks! Ha ha! Loved that! Xxx
Oh, how I would love a large box of Liberty scraps, like yours! I am happy for you. I love your creative spirit! I would really enjoy having you for my friend, in real life.
So glad you didn't take a sledgehammer to anything. Love the box and it works for so many different reason but the best is that if helped you through your frustrations. Plus it is going to be very useful, that's always and added plus.
I found the music from the Pixel video to be delightful. Thank you. I love Norma.
We have had loads of rain and tornado not far from our house. Daughter messaged asking how we were doing is the only way we knew there was a tornado near us. Her mind has been put at ease.. More rain in the forecast but it will get dry I am sure. Love your new covered box. Can't please everyone. Lol.
Hi Joen
Oh no please keep safe! 🤗
Hope you have a good day xxx
Take care 💚 from the UK
Thanks Paloma. We are having a worse time this year but all is well so far.
Little books arrived. I have read them all land they have filled me with joy. I shall treasure them. What an interesting life you have had and do have.
I enjoy your videos so much, it's like having a friend in the room with me. I admire your patience so much.
You are truly a remarkable woman. Love from Janice. xx
janice hingley thank you so much xxxx
I enjoyed watching you make the box and of course seeing Norma
I literally laughed out loud when you said about the sledge hammer! I say that all the time when I get frustrated. I also say (to my husband) " If this doesn't work I'm going to throw it out in the yarn and drive over it with your truck!" lol! I love your channel so much!
yes - that would have been another option! xxx
Bonus video indeed! We do the same thing Kate when the universe, especially the technology universe, is thwarting us. Head for the craft table and pick up a lovely work in progress or begin a new one. Something to soothe jangled nerves and keep us from solving the problem with a hammer. Although hammering is very satisfying isn't it. I just picture myself doing it, and it helps with the frustration. Molly always knows when I'm feeling bonkers, she sits beside me ... at a safe distance. Glad things resolved themselves and I love the box. Best from Molly and me.
Hi Kate so glad you didn't have a sledgehammer on hand. What am I doing? Well, I have this problem where I teach myself s new skill, quilting this time and get so involved watching people that I scare myself into starting anything. Oh well
By the way I loved the music in last video, very OHmmm.
Angi Stewart I know that one - there comes a time when you have to turn CZcams off and BEGIN! Today maybe? What’s the worst that can happen? Xxxxx
Lovely video Kate seating with you watching and listing to you seeing your furry family! Thank you for letting us seat with you God Bless Hugs Liz..
Kate I just found your videos on CZcams and I love them especially the cats 🐈. My husband and I are traveling around America in a RV with our best friend so some days I have several hours to watch videos and your’s are my favorite. I love to hear you talk it is so comforting.
Hi Kate well I'm enjoying your positive approach to frustration. It's given me an idea with all the square boxes I've collected from my Essential Oil deliveries and will put my 5" squares in preparation for my Flying Geese project. Thank you for the inspiration. Glen
That was perfect. I used to cut up little pieces of paper from old craft books with shiny paper, and decoupage boxes that way. I don’t know how you can bear to use your Liberty scraps that way💕🇦🇺
I just found you quite by accident. I cannot describe to you how refreshing it is to see the simple type of life you live and how calming it is for me to watch your life. I envy you! My life is very complex and busy. Not to say that you are not busy, it is just that time for artsy stuff is few and far between. The main reason I am writing you is to tell you that you have inspired me to get out my grandmothers quilt top that I have had for maybe forty years tucked away and sandwich it and quilt it. It is not square, it was hand pieced in her later years, but I have wanted to do this project for much too long. Thank you for making me feel like I can do this, and I actually I finished the binding tonight! It was a hot mess, but it is finished....and that gives me such pleasure.
Brightcreek well, first of all ..... GOOD! However hot the mess is, you finished it! And now you must USE it and enjoy being kept warm by those lovely memories!
But more important, don’t envy me, your life is your own magical journey with its own joys and challenges. I don’t turn the camera in when I’m having a nap! 😂😂😂❤️❤️ much love xxx
THANK YOU, oh thanks, very worrisome day and turned you on to settle myself..And you have offered me a wonderful solution to my day..I am going to look for a couple shoe boxes..and I have mod podge and a warm kitchen table area..Tea , yes, !! thank you for solving my aweful day..Again thanks..
Such a lovely sweet lady you are. Frustration can be good sometimes when it produces such a wonderful idea of making a beautiful box. LOL So glad your computer hiccupped that bug out of it's system and started cooperating. I enjoyed this video. Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Hello from the state of Kentucky in America!!! I just found your channel. I really feel happy watching you. I like your cats and your attitude, your creativity, everything!!
I like your curtains. They are very unique. I think I would like something similar on my bus's (RV) windows. I too love covering boxes since I can do other things while doing it, like you talk and I can watch you, lol
It is cold across the big pond also.
That was great I just love watching you with all your crafts Daphne .Australia Don't hit it with a hammer .you will find a home for it .
Now I know I'm not alone. Had to laugh at the 'sledgehammer' remark. Love the decoupaged box. Great idea. The box that frustration made.
Thank you Kate for the bonus video, technology can be very frustrating so its best to have a play with fabric! Love the box and I am glad you didn't use the sledgehammer! Blessings to you! x
Frustrating as technology may have been for you, I (and more likely we) find comfort in your videos. Thank you! I typically have a little quilt project going at all times. My sewing room is my “go to” place and the sound of my sewing machine always lifts those frustrations away and I feel grounded again. Please thank your Norma, too, for her comforting purr. 🥰
Up since 205am. It's now4am. I was thinking about straightening up the sewing room. Glad I found your new post.
Glad you were able to use your frustrations by making a lovely box. I am so happy to know you reprinted Normas book. Can't wait to order mine.
Hi Nanci
I'm also pleased the little book about Norma has been printed again, she's such a lovely cat🐈💚
I'll be buying a few copies for friends, the books are in the shop now if you didn't know?
Have a lovely night x
@@palomaloredo6399 , thanks for the heads up I just ordered the whole group of 7 books. Now to sit patiently until they arrive.
Live your stress strategy. So productive. I also enjoy that you don’t let the negative comments get to you I appreciate and enjoy your videos. thank you for your patience 😊
I love watching you creating. When me and my partner are stressed we tear out pictures and words from old magazines or junk mail and put them in folders . They are great to use for collage ,covering books or making special birthday cards and of course for using in journals like one of your videos. I have also made fabric paper . You do what you did onto muslin and when it is dry you scrunch it up to soften it and then you can make sewn items with it or embroider on it. X
all very good stress relievers! xxx
Thanks Kate love watching your vidios, you have so many interesting crafts. Crafts have a lovely way of keeping us calm. I was worried about 1 of my daughters some years ago, I was fussing over her, then she said to me Mum why dont you get a hobby 🤣 Ive been doing that ever since ☺
Teresa Gibson she’s right! Doing something with your hands takes the stress out of a situation. Xxxx
Thank you. I love this video! It was very meditative with the sounds of the brush brushing and Norma purring. Lovely!
Rainy day project! Your vids de-stress me, thx. I'm enjoying a coffee and catching up on all my CZcams 'friends' today. When I watched the neon vid, I thought Harry Potter scar also. You bit of neon would go in your Pink room!
