Easily one of the best examples of why people don't go off-roadiing with a bookcase I've ever seen.
Wouldn't wish it on our worst enemy! lol Kx
😂
You did a great job, Katie 👏. Totally understand your frustration and having to take some time out. Well done. ❤
Don't you have a proper furniture moving dolly instead of a wagon?
What a beautiful job you made of your mums cookbook Katie, she must be incredibly proud of you. What a kind, thoughtful, & gifted lady you truly are, that’s why we all adore you! ❤🤗xx
Katie, your grace knows no bounds. I would have been swearing up a storm doing that hauling!
Katie, you are the reason I watch this channel. Your wisdom and beauty is priceless.
This channel wouldn't exist if Scott hadn't created it and spend 4-days out of his week - every week - filming it, editing it and uploading it.
Are you familiar with Proverbs 31, Kate? You are an example of that worthy woman. God bless you for your talents, fortitude, and steadfastness.
That means a lot to me, thank you. We should all add to the talents we're given, right? God bless. 🤍
What a beautiful book and gift for your mom. Katie, you have incredible patience!!
Watching ye do your work antiquing is beautiful! Makes me think it's a job I might enjoy. Certain it's much harder than you make it look.
My Yorkshire Grandmother wore 2 large pockets tied around her waist, between her day dress & apron. I asked her what the pockets were for, so she sat me down & started emptying them out. Small scissors, pocket knife, bits of thread, odd buttons, a key... and a small pouch of dried lichen. "well now, that's where ee got to" 😅 I'm told I take after her... a thought that warms my heart. She was a tough lady (like Scott's gr. gram) you didn't mess with, I treasure her memory 💞
Katie, God has gifted you in so many ways! The bookbinding is a work of art, and I'm sure your Mum will treasure💕
Katie, you did a beautiful job recovering the book for your mum. I bet she loved it.
Great video! :)
Oh, my! Wonder if you could feel all of us wanting to lend a hand when you were moving that bookcase!!! That bookbinding job was exquisite!!!
We wish you were here, too! Kx
What strength you both have! I hope your Mum loved her cookbook….a delicate contrast to the brute force needed with the bookcase! Take care!
What a lovely and gently flowing episode, the pace and content was excellent and the bookbinding segment was magical to watch. Perfect way to relax and forget life’s turmoil for a while, well done guys…..Perfect. Regards, Steve.
Thank you. 😊 Kx
What a fantastic video, but i must admit to holding my breath when you were rowing across the water, i was panicking you could see the current was strong. You'll definitely get super fit rowing across there
What a clever lady you are ! The book looked lovely.
Katie, the book binding project was wonderful to watch. Your mom must have been so pleased!
Oh my goodness. You are so skilled at book binding. Your mother will be so pleased. It is beautiful ❤
You have soo much patience Katie and I love your positive atitude. I don't know how you do it.
Seems to be a great deal of expectations of you. Keep positive.
Creativity plus. Sending all things good Katie❤
Katie you mentioned that you loved rebinding old books. I love the way you took such care and lovingly restored your mums old cookbook. I have two old books The Life of Daniel O'Connell's by Sister M . F Cusack published in 1872 and The Life and Explorations of Dr. Livingstone which I think was published around the same time perhaps a little later both are covered in tooled leather the latter front cover has split from the spine I accidentally bumped it one day. I was so upset as I love old books and antiques. if you are interested I could email you some photographs I would like to gift them to you and would pay to ship them to you. Ann from downunder.😀
Knowing me I've left the car key in the cottage - omg, YES that would be me as well!
Hi to you both. Lovely that your back , very much missed.
What a formidable force you both are . Taking that Victorian bookcase on that very wet & bumpy path .
Just loved watching you repair that old cookbook . Lovingly restored , bet your mum was thrilled .
Looking forward to the next video . 😊
Loved watching you recover your mom’s book. The music you chose is always soothing ❤
Watching you recover your mum’s cook book was amazing. What a treasure it will be for her! Thank you both for sharing all you do with us. Your videos are delightfully relaxing and entertaining at the same time.❤
Favorite moments in this video were picking the old man’s beard lichen, and the bookbinding. I always learn something new when I watch one of your episodes. Thank you so much. ❤️
What wonderful and fascinating content - from moving the bookcase, to the somewhat alarming trip across the river, to re-binding the cookbook for your mum. I loved it all!
What a beautiful book!
"Katie had become a liability" 😂 that really made me lol. Happy new year to you both!
LOL How dare he! Happy New Year! 😊
I adore the shot of the cat as you come home...jumping around saying, "WooHoo, they're finally home". Thank you for showing so much of the bookbinding. There are many videos that show enough of the fine details like fanning out the jute on the binding. I must admit, I am utterly envious of your home...but I would never think to deprive you of the joy of living there. Many Blessings for the Happiest of New Year.
Your book is gorgeous! Your mother will love it
Had to laugh at the cat with zoomies lol..they are living the best life ever! X
May the light always shine on you, warm you and give you strength.
An excellent job with the book recovery. I’m so impressed.
If there's an apocalypse, I'm moving to Scotland because of course you know how to bind a book and you know what old man's beard is for and how to use it and how to use seaweed in your garden bed and how to make scones and point your stone walls. The only problems are how to get across the ocean if there's an apocalypse and I wouldn't be doing any of that wearing a dress or skirt. It's pants for me or the apocalypse can just take me. We all have our priorities.
Get some decent waders and get over here. 👍🏻 😆 Kx
@TheScottishIsle That would be wishful thinking on my part. I'm too old and out of shape to row myself around in a rowboat, bully a bookcase, stack rocks, and wrestle sheep. I've already got the crick in my back and bad knees you guys are still working towards. Still, it's a lovely dream.
Your Mom will love what you have done for her cookbook.. It came out nice.😊
I love your lichen tree! …maybe it’s a ‘mother’ tree 🙏🏻✨🫶
Scott makes me laugh sometimes, that dry, " beans?" in absolute horror after his ordeal with the bookcase. Poor man.... Katie you are such a tallented lady with the book covering. Love watching all you create. What a channel this is, Great work to you both. Love your cat who follows like a dog.
i love the Victorian bookcases, beautiful old character
What a beautiful gift for your mum, I imagine she was so pleased with it!
That book is now an absolute treasure.
Oh wow, your mums cookbook looks amazing. The book cases are so lovely but crikey what a hard trek xx
Brilliant video, scary bookcase ,im not surprised you were exhausted..your restoration of the book was amazing and beautiful...I'm absolutely loving your channel ❤😊
Thank you so much!
What a lovely thing to do for your Mam's old cookbook. It's like preserving memories. xxxxx
Book binding! You are doing a amazing job!
Lovely job of recovering the cook book. Hope your mum was happy with it. 🥰cheers sue Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
and the music during Kati e's book binding tutorial was stunning...
The rebound book looks beautiful, I’m sure your mum was delighted. What an effort to move that bookcase. Like you said, it will probably stay where it is until it’s used to warm the cottage in the distant future.
What an skill rebinding that book Katie, it looked incredible. Now i know what the lumps are on the spine lmao
Right? I had no idea until I first looked into it, either! Kx
Oh my Katie! Nothing on the island is easy! Scott must be eating his porridge to shift that weight up the stairs. Even getting off and on the island would do me in! I know I’ll never need to learn how to cover a book, but watching you do that was fascinating. I’m sure your Mum loved the gift. Great episode! Your videos just keep getting better and better!
Delightful! I’m sorry but I laughed so hard at the trial of moving the bookcase😂
The bookbinding~so very beautiful!!
That finished book looks fantastic, well done. Old man's beard grows here in Queensland Australia but termed as an Air plant. Thank you for sharing your day with us all. 💕🇦🇺
Loved watching the book repair beautifully done
How fun to watch Katie bind that book while I’m reading The Bookbinder by Pip Williams. Peggy, the main character, also handles the books and pages so lovingly. 📖 ❤
What a wonderful episode! I learned bookbinding at school, what a great craft! Especially if you can bind with leather.😊
Wow, what a skill....spellbinding bookbinding!
Give it a go, it's great! Kx
SPEACHLESS!!!❤ Gorgeous book bound in leather crafted by a Clever and talented Katie😘
Such a wonderful skill set you have! Wonderful vlog, enjoyed it all the way through. But then again, I have good taste. 😁
You sure do! 😉
That cookbook came out beautifully!
Oh boy is that book cover beautiful! Amazing transformation!!!!!!
Very creative and thoughtful idea for your mom’s cookbook. Well done young lady
What a wonderful gift that must have been for your mother. My mother-in-law gave me a Mrs Beeton's Househould Management printed in the 40's I think, and I was amazed to see the gadgets people had in those days. One of my sons collects old books and I gave it to him. That huge bookcase must weigh a lot, no wonder the both of you were breathing like you've just finished a marathon! I would've given up halfway! Great episode as usual. Thank you.
You sounded like Julie Andrews when you started singing 😊. The book cover looked really nice. Excited for the new year at the Scottish Isles. Happy New Year ❤️🤗
The book binding was interesting , I've never seen that done before 😊
Like many others, I was mentally helping you to push those bookcases! You two are quite remarkable at times, really you are. I get it, about books and records needing to be at hand...I would not be without mine! The book binding was really interesting to watch. Restoring the bookcases- I make that yet another job added to so many still to do. Keep going you two. Much respect and admiration to you both.
Loved the music and loved you both 😊
I wanted to be there helping you two with the bookcases. Such strong people. You did a beautiful job on yhe book.
Katie, the book is beautiful, what a thoughtful thing to do for your mom. I'm sure she will love it!
Please run a cable across the water so you can stay connected but not go downstream. You scare Us!❤️😵💫 Great show today. Enjoy the lichen story.The book was Amazing
Wow Kate
Your mother's book
Your re cover is totally amazing
Well done
Love the new cover
What a treasure you have .
Fascinating watching you cover an old book.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode ! Thank you for the "tutorial" on how to cover a book with leather material. You guys are working hard ... so much to do everyday. Love your episodes.
Im becoming more and more convinced Katie is a time traveller from the past. Her knowledge and the way she fits into the Island is incredible. Have you guys ever thought of doing an episode,or a segment, in black and white or maybe sepia. Would be really great. Best wishes for this year and looking forward to more of the same.❤
A true labour of love...
So pleased you got the bookshelf there safely - glad we are not the only ones who embark on these insane missions. We had to slide a fridge down very high stairs of an 1860's Queenslander on blankets when we moved. We are both women :0 Also so very glad to hear you do not use pharma**uticals especially in these times xx Thank you both so very much for your videos, they make our day xx
Nice job with the book at the end 👍🏼
Amazing talent. Loved this episode.
Absolutely loved the book binding section! Having tutorials on this would be fascinating!
My heart skipped a few beats watching you row over to the other side!!!! Omgosh!
I gather too far for a line to be stretched across for guidance.
Happy New Year to you both from Camada ❤
Happy new year! There are yachts which use that channel of water, so we'd never be allowed. A zip line would be amazing, though! 😆
That book covering is a masterpiece xx great blog, happy new year xx
The cookbook for your dear mom turned out beautifully-what fine work you do Katie!
Thank you for the book covering tutorial. Six months ago I searched for videos to learn how to do it. It turned out ok but would have been nice to see your video before attempting it.
The book is gorgeous!
Old Man's Beard goes like crazy in Maine, US, northern part of the State, at least. It is a good fire starter as well.
That was truly amazing, wowza! ( book ) hah
I was entranced by the book binding, what beautiful think to do😊
Bookcases oh my.
Happy New Year! Great to see your video. Great job moving that book case and WOW what a great job Katie did recovering the book. You guys have so many talents!
"and ... away" ❤
More book binding!!!!
What Beautiful craftsmanship! What a thoughtful treasure! ❤
Good job on the book recovering!
It's a great photo...I'd frame it!
Beautiful work on the cook book, such patience and skill. Loved Scott's comment getting the bookcase YAY! Pretty funny .
Respect. You can understand why they built things in situ.
My mum has a 1964 Mrs Beaton`s I love all the stuff about household management.
We were told by a local that all these old cottages had handmade furniture. Maybe we need a rethink!
Practical people🐾
Lichens are good natural dye stuffs too.
Beautiful episode, the book looks lovely well done Katie x
Thank you for the bookbinding lesson, great to see.
Hope the New Year surpasses your expectations. ❤
Katie, it was delightful and relaxing to watch your book-binding. What a beautiful book! Your mother will cherish it, and it will last for generations. Also -- you have a lovely voice, from the snippet of sailor song you sang. I hope you sing for us again.
That bookcase! It's beautiful, but what a burden! I can't believe Scott managed to horse it into the cabin alone. But it will be useful for years. Good work! One step at a time.
That lichen is a good dye plant for wool, too.
What can I say…. You both deserve a much needed break after pushing that enormous bookcase over a stoney path to your home. That bath tub would be handy to have a long soak in to soothe sore muscles. Take care and remember to have a break once in awhile, so you both don’t burn out. Blessings to you from Australia 😊
You have hit the jackpot ! What a stunning place and the commercial income you could achieve there is phenomenal. Well done the best island I have seen . A lot of hard work but what you have in speechless.
