Kate that bird cage is absolutely adorable; no kidding, no hesitation; no voice shooting up an octave in haste to reassure you like mums do, bless them all! 😉 it's lovely xx
As a miniaturist myself I appreciate the “eye” required to see pins, beads, and pipe stem pieces as candlesticks and bird cages. I really enjoy watching your crafting videos. And of course your mudlarking ones as well.
Thank you Lori! We absolutely love miniatures, we'd love to see some of your makes! Starting the dolls house has opened up lots of new opportunity's for some of the finds we may have initially overlooked, and it is so fun thinking of ideas of what to use the various pieces as in the house.
I'm impressed with your crafting skills ladies, it's not easy handling tiny objects especially those tiny beads, I love your dolls house and all the detail.
When I was younger, I would go camping with my grandma, grandpa and cousins. We would go to the mountains in New Mexico. We would often go hiking and end up on “Bead Hill” where we would search for small beads that the Native Americans had made years and years ago., I guess it was a kind of mudlarking though no mud lol but lots of dirt. I never found whole beads but found a lot of halves. My grandma had a tiny jar she kept the whole beads she found. We also searched for arrow heads.
Wow! That sounds absolutely amazing April! What a wonderful way to spend time with family, "Bead Hill" sounds magical!
❤️ New Mexico is beautiful and my home.
We still find seed beads in the ant hills. Lots of arrow heads around our house too. Thank you for taking me back to the camping trips with my grandparents!
@@rondapitchford6593 I miss New Mexico. I was born there and so were my kids.
@@aprilbarber5427 right on! 😁
If you carried a safety pin you could use it to pick up the tiny beads. Just pin the safety pin to your bag for when you need it.
Great idea 💡 👍
That is a great idea! We usually have some "bead-picking" tweezers with us, but couldn't find them before this trip, so we will attach some safety pins to our mudlarking bags for the future, thank you snarkycard!
Or even just some Victorian pins…keep them in another little bottle
I was just going to say the same thing!!
Fab idea xx
I love the birdcage and the lamp. The best dollhouses are handmade with enjoyment and love. Keep it up. Perfection too often stops personal artistic endeavors and makes for a lot of unfinished projects. I was so excited this morning to see a video from you. Thanks for something different.
Thank you for saying that Christie! You're so right! Almost everything in the dolls house is handmade, and more than a little wonky, but we love it for that... even though it is a little hard sometimes to accept that what we make doesn't look how we imagined it in our heads, haha. Thank you for joining us!
You have hit the nail on the head! I have started so many crafts, and sewing projects, thinking, no, that does not look right, and the item ends up not getting finished.
I so enjoyed your crafting using the items you have found. I imagine someday you will have children/grandchildren who will be enthralled with the doll house. They will have the unique privilege of looking at videos of you on your adventures and making the items they will see in the dolls house. It must be so satisfying to think of things to make and then using the items you find to make them.
I had not thought of that, it is a lovely thing to ponder, Thank you :)
I just love your channel and really enjoy the variety. Beachcombing, mudlarking, bottle dump digging, path walking and crafting! Its always something fun and interesting and historical. You never fail to bring me joy and put a smile on my face. Keep up the excellent work!
I just Love You all, you make my heart smile.
Thank you for saying such a lovely thing Georgia!
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers 😁 your welcome 😊
Love your bird cage and lamp shade. Don’t doubt your self your work is amazing.
Kate, please, please don't be embarrassed. Your birdcage (complete w/bird) & mantle candle holders /candles are absolutely wonderful 😀❤😊♥!!!! Great job!
Here is a suggestion a small tiny vase that was broken in half could be glued on the outside of your dollhouse as a wall pocket and it could hold teeny little silk 💐 💜
Loving all of your videos. I live in the US....it's such a treasure to see your program and the love you show for your craft as we as your family.
Thank you for sharing your adventure and crafting. Im happy you made this video inspite of feeling poorly.
I just cannot get enough of your videos. Honestly, I'm hooked!
Ahh thank you Gretta that is truly appreciated xx
"You have to dig the weird lumps." Love this Fleur. Hope you are healing well. Take care and stay safe. Kate your birdcage is perfect! So is the lamp, Fleur.
Always dig the lumps you just never know haha :)
As an artist myself I do have to say you ladies are gifted...Both of you have an eye for beauty of things once loved lost ,found , repurposed ,and reborn to cherish and love again...It takes patience a steady hand and great eyes...I also repurpose things discarded items like floral,flowers ,paints, ,crafts .. I draw ,paint ,craft ,floral arrange ,wreaths ,swags ,and give my creations to someone having a bad day... Nursing homes ,Hospitals etc, or someone I meet on the street .Im disabled and on disability ,so I love dumpster finds ,sidewalk treasures ,I even ask stores to purchase broken or discarded crafts ,flowers etc.. I JUST LOVE TO SEE SOMEONE SMILE! . I currently am tumbling my rocks and crystals ,trying to watch your video on my 55" tv...So much easier than the phone..Mother nature as well as discarded items are all around us ...Amazing what gifts are available to bring to life...Keep on shining bright my Sister's ⭐... Love and Light ☯️from Pittsburgh PA.US.🌙🌕🌜. ** I have a suggestion that may help : If the floral wire seems a lil too heavy ,even the smallest ply.I sometimes use fishing line... for the tiny dolls necklaces ..as it is pretty strong and more pliable.. this works great in some jewelry also..just my thoughts..) Blessed be..MERRY MEET SISTERS..

That is a lovely thing to do! Beautiful thing to make someone smile :) :)
I absolutely LOVE the bird cage!! It is so creative & is just brilliant! Well done! I want to come play with your dollhouse when it is complete. 😂❤️ I am only 59 years old & I love cats!
You're just a whippersnapper
The doll house is charming and unique . I love your channel and will have to binge watch to catch up . Thank you !!!
Kate, you are so lovely and the colors of your clothing go so well with your whole look. Besides that, i love watching you and your Mum searching and creating objects. Ladies, keep the great videos coming. 🦋🌼🇺🇸
Thank you so much :)
I so enjoy your nature videos, they are always lovely. Love when you do crafts and show the dollhouse.
Thank you Vicki! We especially enjoy filming the nature shots for our films, so we're glad to hear you like them!
I wrote the comment below before viewing the rest of the video. Your dolls are surely living the posh lives. Who says there aren't second chances? Thanks for saving them from the trash heap.😊
Thank you Christie! Their house is coming along slowly, our next job is making some more furniture we think, and some more members of the family... and maybe a garden! We have lots of plans, haha
I am not sure what i prefer your mudlarking or crafting videos. I really enjoy both. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you like them both! Thank you :)
Awwww! That birdcage is so cute! Also love the hanging lamp and candlesticks.
Such fun to watch you two crafting! I wish I had the imagination to take the bits and bobs you find and turn them into something wonderful! I've always loved miniatures.
So adore all the things you create for the dolls house.
That does it! I'm making a dollhouse!
The candles were perfect!
You definitely should do it! It is so much fun! We would love to see anything you make!
I loved the candlesticks!
The dolls house is looking amazing, 'wonky' gives it charm.... Loved everything you both made 👍💕💕💕💕
Thank you Marie! We have learnt to accept the "wonkiness" of our dolls house, but as you said, it does give it a certain charm!
The dolls house brings tears to my eyes - it is so very precious.
I am so grateful that you continue to make your videos despite now being able to get back to your 'normal' life. 😍 All your efforts, and everything you post is greatly appreciated. Thank you. 🤩❤😽 See you again next week. Take care and stay safe. ❤😸
Thank you so much Noralee that is very kind of you to say!
What an amazing doll house. You can see all the love that goes into it.
Thank you! :)
The birdcage and candlesticks are adorable!
this makes me miss my mum and England, so incredibly much.
you live a grand and blessed life. i love the way you turn everything into treasure
thank you for sharing
Your crafts turned out lovely! An artist is always their own worst critic. The candlesticks are adorable, what wonderful imaginations you have. Hope you are both feeling better now and your leg is healing Fleur. Lovely video, so relaxing and with Sunny cat purring in the background I feel completely chilled 😊 x
Ahh thank you Amanda, for everything!!! :)
I love that birdcage!!! The candlestick! Wow! Mushrooms 🍄 awesome picture frame 👌 dolls amazing! Hanging lamp!! Wonderful Wonderful! You both do amazing crafts!! Love it all!!!
I always feel like jumping through the screen and joining you on what ever it is you are doing 😂... and Sunny cat... Awww, LOVE him so xx Teresa ❤🇦🇺
That would probably make us jump haha :)
Can you imagine...just you two and Sonny cat in the room, your camera screen suddenly erupted volcanically and then 'hiiii... I'm a huge fan!' 😂😂😂@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers
Woww girls you hv so
much patience and are very creative. The dolls house is absolutely amazing. 💯
I was so happy when you showed your creative “mess”. Made me so happy. I work, create & make in just such a mess. Thank goodness. Your teeny tiny crafts were genius. The candlesticks almost made me cry they were so perfect. The little pictures divine.
Your Moggy is a very interesting creature. I suspect he’s not actually a cat. More a little imp in disguise. He’s just so happy to be living with you. And he’s a bit of a history buff.
Love the idea of Sunny being an imp haha :)
It is sweet how you capture all the small creatures and plants. I dislike spiders but found myself saying “Awe! It’s so cute!” Y’all bring a magic to this world that can’t be learned.
Thank you so much Pamela that is a lovely thing to say :)
Bird house looks great it is hard working on tiny things I love to watch your videos and the process of your doll house
Thanks so much 😊
Your doll house is amazing! Loved all the crafts, especially the tiny bird cage. Such wonderful imaginings built from cast aways. Sometimes when you pick things up I wonder what on earth you could possibly make out of these little found objects. It's delightful. Never hesitate to show the struggle when things don't go as smoothly as you had imagined. Every artist in the world can relate.
Quite a lot of the time we do not know what we are going to create either haha! There is a lot of sitting around and thinking :):)
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers Yes! We have always refer to that time as 'contemplating your bellybutton'. It's hard to explain the importance of daydreaming in the creative process.
The birdcage looked good! I wish I had some place to go mudlarking - it looks like fun and I love that you see practical uses for these lost items.
I remember our Timothy Whites store in East London in the 60’s. I completely forgot they existed until you showed the rubber item. Wow, brought back childhood memories for me! 💐
GREAT JOB on the bird cage! The chandelier is beautiful also!
I am so sorry you all have been ill. Big hugs for everyone. The creativity and work that goes into your crafts is lovely. I don't have a creative bone in my body. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you so much :)
You two are amazing!!! All that you do is incredible! I am from America and I find mudlarking fantastic!!!
Thank you so much! :)
I will remember this episode as Beauty and the Beads. Love the lamp and bird cage. Persistence clearly paid off. Well done Godesses 👏🐒
Thank you! We literally crawl around the beach on our bellies haha :)
are you kidding that bird cage is just to cute i love watching all your crafts its so relaxing
Thank you!!! :)
I love your new doll house additions, they're all super cute. I giggled through the whole thing as you were struggling through. It made me feel good to know that even the professionals struggle at their craft. 😊 I have two new quotes from this video that I want to print and hang in my craft room..."In my head it looked so good, and it was going to be so easy" and "Look at the chaos we've caused". 😅 I LOVE that! And, though you may have struggled, everything turned out great. Thank you so much for sharing. I had so much fun. 😀
Thank you so much! I think quite a few things we make don`t look exactly as we expected haha :)
So do admire you vision and execution for the doll house. Splendid video.
Thank you :)
Nan from Florida: candlesticks ✨✨✨💥wow!!!
Mindblowingly good, I watched on in wonderment, and joy.
Thank you so much That is very kind of you :)
Loved everything today! The birdhouse and hanging lamp are really cute! All the miniature things are really good! Thanks for taking me along❤️💕
Thanks so much! 😊
Love all the things you make.
Your doll house is amazing!
Please keep going on with your wonderful adventures and letting us come along. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much! :)
The doll house is outstanding! Pure awesomeness! Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you so much :)
Not only a great adventure today but some lovely makes for the dolls house too.The birdcage came out beautiful as did the lights and the necklace for the doll..I love the cream pot ,very tactile looking .I also like the piece of pottery with the triangle on and the three fingerprints in it.Some other nice finds too 🥰
Thanks so much 😊
It really makes me wonder just how many beads have been lost through time, probably a small mountain! Great video and good luck next time.
Wow a mountain of beads!!!!!!
Your combined style is inimitable magic!1❤🌷🙋♀️❤🌷.
Thank you that is a lovely thing to say :) :)
I want to live in the playhouse! Handcrafted, beautiful things all around! You ladies are so awesome!!
Thank you Judy! It does look quite cosy, not much furniture though, but we're planning to rectify that soon
Sunny is a great Caboodler.
I’ve said this before, I sure wish I belonged to your family. I admire all of you and I would be right at home laying on my belly looking for anything. I love your music choices although I cry with sadness that my mother never spent any time with me. I’m always happy to watch your videos! 💕
Thank you so much that is a very kind thing to say Karen :)
😂😂😂can hear the cat purring,so sweet(the comedian Eddie Izzard said its cats drilling😃😃)
I immediately said that looks like garlic when you spotted the white glass glob. I thought it would fit right into the dollhouse x
Our minds think alike Alana! That is a great idea! Maybe we'll make a basket of "vegetables" for the kitchen
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers that’s a fantastic idea!
Mom and Daughter are the most wonderful people this morning to listen to. 7am here in usa,,,,Tennessee and would love to be there instead to join in finding wonderful things. Joseph
Looks like Sunny Cat was saying hi to everyone 😂
The dollhouse is wonderful!
Love the dollhouse makes 😍
Thank you Dawn! We love making them!
I love the bird cage it’s so good it beautiful
Well done! I love your dollhouse. So many cool items in all the nooks and crannies. You two are a great team.
Thank you cbearce! We have lots of plans for the house
I love your Doll House 🏠
Your dolls house craft videos are my favourite! I also love anything Timothy White's related as my late Nan worked in the shop in Portsmouth, which is where I live 🤗
Dolls house crafts are our favourite things to make! So we're very happy to hear you enjoy them! What a wonderful coincidence, both mum & dad grew up around Portsmouth (it is beautiful), and we have mudlarked the area, but never found anything Timothy White until now
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers I love that you have a family connection with Portsmouth. Yes, I've seen your video of your lark in here, I loved it! A few years ago myself and Jane (myordinarytreasure) went treasure hunting under there too 👍😃
I love the birdcage, how wonderfully wonky!
What wonderful labor’s of love you guys have crafted for the dolls house! I always enjoy your videos!! Thank you for taking us along! 💕💕WV🇺🇸
Thank you for joining us Lynette! The house is definitely coming along, and we really enjoy making new bits for it!
I wish I still had a dollhouse to make those wonderful little candle 🕯 sticks and birdcage for. Awesome video quality, love the close ups. I love the stoneware pot.
Thank you so much :)
Love all your treasures in you doll house! Your birdhouse and chandelier turn out wonderful!
Thank you so much! :)
I loved it all especially the candlesticks 🥰
Outstanding finds my dearies. Love your crafts and the fact that Bitsy's house is getting full of wonders. Thank you for sharing your mudlarking experience with us. Love the Mudlark Community. Stay safe and take care of yourselves.
Greetings from the U.S.A.
Thank you Peggy! The house is coming along slowly, we have lots of plans, including a garden! Thank you for joining us, take care of yourself too!
It’s amazing on All You and Your Mother find , WOW!
Thank you Frank! We do enjoy looking for the tiny things in particular!
Absolutely Brilliant Kate. love the birdhouse and you remind me so much of myself when i was younger, making doll house parts and furnishings out of finds.
❤️❤️ those teeny candlesticks!
Loved what you found and made. The bird cage is brilliant and loved the lampshade. So nice to see in your dolls house xx
Thanks so much 😊
i would just love exploring and digging that place. in one of the intros, you show a very tiny porcelain cat --I would have been over the moon.
I think you both are so creative. Each of your crafts turned out so good. I am a bird person so the cage was awesome. Thank you for creating videos even when you aren't feeling well. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Cynthia!
Those candlesticks are awesome!
i always love the music you play on your videos
The bone or ivory thing looks like a broken crochet hook. Could it be a button hook handle? I enjoy your park's and your crafts.
Yes! That was exactly what I was thinking and came here to say! I’ve found a bone crochet hook before and it took me forever to figure out what it was because the hook part had worn away! I thought it was a hair stick lol
Thank you Cheryl! We have just googled bone crochet hooks, and that could definitely be what it is!
I think everything turned out nice. I do miniatures and it isn't always easy working with such tiny things. It is nice to see more things going into your doll house!
Thank you very much! Little things are sometimes more difficult for sure haha :)
What fun I love miniatures, your doll house is a lot of fun. The bird cage lamp and candlesticks were perfect. Love the purring on the round up,, lol
Thank you 🤗
Love the close ups with the micro lenses! 👏
Kate, the annotations at editing stage says you can read your mum well enough to 'hear everything she's not saying'... I love that... and can thoroughly identify! 😂 hilarious
I love your doll house craft. Your both very clever.
You could use a wooden round piece for the base of the birdcage. Stick your pins around the base. Glue the larger round wire on the top of the pins. Glue another round of pins to that. Glue the smaller round wire to the top of those pins, etc. . That will make the cage taller and more stable.
I`m not sure Kate will ever make another birdcage :) :)
Fantastic crafts and mudlark. Thank you.
Many thanks!
Have you got a new lens?!?? The close ups are absolutely incredible. Commenting as we’re watching, that lid would have been amaaazing 😍 but loving the teeny tiny beads and small stoneware. Anyway, back to watching! X
We brought our attachable macro lens with us this time, and now don't know why we hadn't thought to do it sooner, haha! Fingers crossed one day we'll find a complete printed lid, although it is unlikely. Thank you for watching Mudpies! x
@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers and
I love love love the bird cage! You guys are awesome! I really love the doll house so much!

Thank you so much David :)
Your rafting is beautiful I loved the little candlesticks great video
As long as you try and are having a good time it’s all that matters
Thank you Heidi! We do really enjoy making the dolls house crafts, even if they don't always look how we imagined
