A Texan, here, and we have lovely Cardinals…but where I am from we lovingly call them “Red Birds”. They’re quite large birds, and I always love seeing them! We also have an occasional Blue Jay. One of my favorites is the Road Runner, which I hardly ever see anymore, but get so excited when I do! Also, a little tip…if you soak your dried-on paint brushes in rubbing alcohol for a few days, they will become as good as new. It dissolves the paint. Well, as long as the dried-on paint is acrylic. I’ve saved quite a few brushes that way. LOVE this episode! ❤️
I was a caregiver for a sweet lady who had advanced dementia. She had a large picture window in her living room, and a cardinal appeared there nearly every single day, no matter the season. I was there for over a year, and he never failed to show up in all that time. I often wondered about the traditional belief and whether it was her mother or her only son, who was killed in a car accident at the age of 18.
Yes! We have Cardinals in America, at least in the Northeast where I live. The tuft on top of their head is called a crest. Other crested birds in the US include Blue Jays and Cedar Waxwings. I'm sure there are more. It is said that if a Cardinal pays you a visit, it is the spirit of a passed loved one come to call.
I truly needed this sweet, kind video right now😗💯 Thank you for all that you do to make these videos. You are a breath of fresh air. I am here to breath it all in.😘
Kate, you are so very artistic! Love your bitty doll, cardinal, the globe and your turtle! The perfume bottles are just perfect, Fleur! Can't wait for more creative bead ideas!
I’ve just discovered your videos and I want to say that I was already interested as a crafter but I knew I wanted to see all the rest when you two went back and forth with the turtle idea and then giggled at how silly the word can be! Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge, but also your calm, your joy and your gentle friendliness with each other ❤️🩹🐢
They are all amazing! As an avid bird watcher, I ADORE the Cardinal. Sadly we don’t have many where I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado so I’m very happy to see even a teeny, tiny one! ❤
Another successful video ladies, bursting with so much inspiration, love everything you’ve created, my favourite has to be the cutest little doll, and the ideas just keep coming from you two, can’t forget to mention Sunny the cat too, tfs x Julie
A care free world of miniatures in your workshop. The cardinal and matchstick doll are my favorites. Always a pleasure to see what Sunny is doing in between naps.
🎉I have thousands of beautiful beads glass ,precious stones, crystal to plastic. I have designed and sold alot I rarely make more than design exactly the same. I also use to make mini things inc candles, perfume and bubble baths etc it's such fun ☺
LADIES!!YOU CONTINUE TO BLOW ME AWAY WITH YOUR ARTISTIC SKILLS. I HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME WATCHING YOU CREATE ALL THESE PIECES. ANOTHER EXCELLENT VIDEO!! LOVE AND HUGS FROM MASSACHUSETTS IN THE U.S.
Such lovely creations! What I wouldn't do to be able to sit there with you lovely ladies, chatting and creating. 🥰 A wonderful selection of little trinkets, exactly what I love crafting most. Just making what ever comes to mind. Looking at materials and old, thrifted, or found objects and let inspiration strike and lead in the moment. What bliss! I miss that soso much. I do hope my body will let me experience another craft session like this before I pass. I used to craft with my mother like this almost every weekend as a child, we would put on nature sound cds and sit at the dining table for a few hours together. It's incredible that those are the memories that come to mind first when I think of that time when really we were in a horrible situation with my very violent, alcoholic and drug addicted father who was doing everything he could to make my mother's life as miserable as possible. And yet she managed to keep so much of it away from me and make sweet memories like our craft dates for me to look back on instead. I am so thankful and in awe!❤
I always hit “thumbs up” before even starting your videos because every single one is always so relaxing, charming and joyful! Your video is truly the sweet, shining light for me in what feels like the darkness for so many (myself included) here in the US. Bless you! 💙 Kathleen
Lovely. And yes, we have many cardinals in America. They are the state bird for multiple states. Love you two. You make me laugh and marvel at how creative you are.
One of my favourite things to make with beads are potion bottles for a witch or wizard's cupboard. If you make 24th scale houses, they can look really good on a shelf, specially the see through ones. On larger scales, you have to be a bit more selective, though. You could probably make some Christmas tree strings with the seed beads.
Love your kitty!😺Funny how our cats like to be right there when we are doing a project. Cardinals are common in winter in America. They look so beautiful against the white snow. I live in Pennsylvania. Most of the birds fly south for winter but the Blue Jays and the Cardinals stay in PA. Love your tiny creations!!
Kate everything is beautiful, We have Cardinals ,Also blue Jay's, And here in Tennessee we have blue 🐦 birds ,and mocking birds ,they sing beautiful .My love to fleur and your brother who I miss seeing.
🎉a handy tip for you I cut cocktail sticks and thread the beads I want I sand any excess at the bottom I use to hold whilst I'm gluing the beads onto each other. It gives more strength to the peices 😊
I stretched chicken wire across the back of an old oval frame and build a stack of 3 glass beads like your doing and wrapped the beaded wire around the top of the chicken wire hold so the beads hung down. It catches the sunlight beautifully. Wish I could add a picture for you❤️😊
Oh ladies I enjoyed watching both make your tiny miniatures out of beads. I don't have a favorite I like them all. You could make a miniature nut cracker or toy soldier for Christmas. The red bird is a cardinal and I do see them here in Georgia. Love to see sunny cat approving your work and video. I like your vintage cabinet that sunny is laying on. Enjoy your weekend and looking forward to the upcoming coming videos. Cheers Xxx Mary
I loved all your bead crafts, my favorite is the little doll. I live in West Virginia in the US and the Cardinal is our State Bird. I've always heard when there is a Cardinal around that it is a love one checking on you. Every time I see one I talk to it because I feel like it is my husband checking on me ❤

I live in the US and cardinals are believed to be loved ones who passed and have come back as to check on you.
I've never heard that one.
I was a caregiver for a sweet lady who had advanced dementia. She had a large picture window in her living room, and a cardinal appeared there nearly every single day, no matter the season. I was there for over a year, and he never failed to show up in all that time.

We say that about robins here Tina, “ when robins appear loved ones are near” x 🇬🇧
@@tinacluff2793 there’s a cardinal that shows up and teases my cat through the window.
I hear the 🕊️& the 🦋 not the cardinal 🗽🇺🇲🦅🕊️🫶🐦🏵️🍂

🙋♀️❤️. It's worry free world when you two are crafting! ⚘️⚘️
Absolutely beautiful tiny things. As you know I always love Sunny supervising. Thank you.
My grandmother had two pet cardinals, and she named them Jake and Jenny. They would land outside her windowsill and talk to her every morning.
I have made a lamp out of beads.
I think the lantern would make a great chicken feeder, so bring on those tiny little chickens
I loved them all
Beaded curtains ? Beaded rugs ? Tiny bead bracelets & necklaces for the dolls ?
You should try making tiny humming bird feeders with some to hang outside your doll houses !
I truly needed this sweet, kind video right now😗💯 Thank you for all that you do to make these videos. You are a breath of fresh air. I am here to breath it all in.😘
Oh, I love the little bead doll! She is exquisite!

Kate, you are so very artistic! Love your bitty doll, cardinal, the globe and your turtle! The perfume bottles are just perfect, Fleur! Can't wait for more creative bead ideas!

I’ve just discovered your videos and I want to say that I was already interested as a crafter but I knew I wanted to see all the rest when you two went back and forth with the turtle idea and then giggled at how silly the word can be!

I enjoyed immensely your purring grey assistant!
Always a joy to visit together.
Absolutely adorable love watching your videos making creations ❤
These all came out so great! Kate I loved your dress at the beginning of this video. It is so pretty!!!
As usual, creative genius at work. Thank you for another delightful video 🕊️💖😊

Lovely, yes I have also made bottles from glass beads, and inkpots.
Yes cardinal's are here in the U.S. sadly I buried one today, it flew into the window 😢 cardinal's can represent a heavenly loved one is visiting 😊❤
Here in England the equivalent are Magpies
I love it all! Always great to see Sunny Cat 🧡
I must add that I love watching your mudlarking channel. I've always wanted to explore the river Thames 😊
What fantasy. Great vlog
Minis make me so happy!😊 ❤🇺🇸
I'm enchanted at your talent!
Beautiful miniatures! I love the little doll and the jug of daisies. The tortoise is also very cute.
Love your kitty!😺Funny how our cats like to be right there when we are doing a project. Cardinals are common in winter in America. They look so beautiful against the white snow.

Such great ideas. I love the teeny matchstick doll 🥰
Fantastic miniatures that you made from beads, you ladies are so gifted. Thanks for sharing.
Simply ingenious !
They are Beautiful ❤
You ladies are amazing!
Wow, this tiny collection is so beautiful. I have so many beads so this has given me some good ideas!
Well done, they turned out amazing. Take care and thank you for sharing 👏🙏❤️
I love every film you make Thank you 🇿🇦
Simply lovely!
Bravo ladies!!! 👏
The back of Sunnycat's head is so cute, it deserves it's own co-starring credit.
What fantastic ideas! Thank you for sharing😊
Love them all.❤ thanks for showing us.
Kate everything is beautiful, We have Cardinals ,Also blue Jay's, And here in Tennessee we have blue 🐦 birds ,and mocking birds ,they sing beautiful .My love to fleur and your brother who I miss seeing.
Love the turtle and the green "decanter"❤❤❤
🎉a handy tip for you I cut cocktail sticks and thread the beads I want I sand any excess at the bottom I use to hold whilst I'm gluing the beads onto each other. It gives more strength to the peices 😊
You girls are so creative and so talented! Really cute and realistic tiny objects. Delightful!
So beautiful and relaxing. U are talented ❤😍😘😘😘👏👏👏

I loved the tortoise and everything else but the doll was amazing. The cotton reel was a clever idea but now you need more in different colours.
Oh ladies I enjoyed watching both make your tiny miniatures out of beads. I don't have a favorite I like them all. You could make a miniature nut cracker or toy soldier for Christmas. The red bird is a cardinal and I do see them here in Georgia. Love to see sunny cat approving your work and video. I like your vintage cabinet that sunny is laying on. Enjoy your weekend and looking forward to the upcoming coming videos.

I loved the bead doll. It reminded me of The Woodentops from Watch With Mother, when I was a wee girl.
I loved all your bead crafts, my favorite is the little doll. I live in West Virginia in the US and the Cardinal is our State Bird. I've always heard when there is a Cardinal around that it is a love one checking on you. Every time I see one I talk to it because I feel like it is my husband checking on me ❤
Well done ladies ❤
