    I am a 62 yr old man that stumbled upon your channel. I'm not much on drama so I was suprised . You held my attention very quickly in your crafts and describing your life and daily routines. ( Strange little lady ) you say ! I say talented , sincere , inquisitive ,honest and down to earth. Don't see that much these days in people especially folks your age. I wish you the best in the new married life. And I will drop by from time to time here and see how you young folks are getting along.

    With all the negativity out there, everyone so loud and busy, it’s such a joy to visit your channel. I get all situated, cozy, and eagerly anticipate the day’s content. Whether it be your baking, painting, crafting or walking in the snow, I feel like I’m there with you. Excited to “meet” your grandmother…I don’t know a lick of Spanish.🥺 I also enjoy perusing the wonderful comments that other subscribers leave. What a wonderful dose of encouragement. So many interesting people! Thank you for your time and channel. 💐🤟🏼

As we age (I’m 65) it’s such a pleasure when young people allow us to share all their exciting “firsts,” and a new home is huge. I applaud you for leaving Luke and his dad to the construction. There will be more than enough for you to do to turn the house they build into a home for the two of you, and hopefully children. Thirdly, good for you for reupholstering Luke’s old sofa! It will be a wonderful sharing time for you and your abuela, and quite a memory. I’m sure she is thrilled to be able to help you. Bless you! I adore your channel. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

    I love watching your story unfolding! So excited you will be moving into a new home and getting married. I had a traditional home in Seattle for 23 years and for most of the 35 years loved it but the city was no longer magical for me. I retired, sold my house in West Seattle and had a tiny home (225 square feet) built in 2016. My tiny home is 35 miles southeast of Seattle on an 11 acre hobby farm. There are 3 other tiny homes out here. I go to sleep to the sound of frogs and wake up to the moos of cows and chickens announcing to the world they laid an egg. I share my house with 3 rescue cats (they have a 20-foot catwalk that is 13 feet high) and a sweet schiperkee Hunter. This grandma is so happy and content with my simple life. I appreciate the beautiful view of Mount Rainer I have from my deck. What I love about your veido's is that you elevate the joys of simple living....Thank You!!! Happy new home and wedding!!!

    I can't imagine that you would ever run out of decorating ideas! When I first married, my husband and I were in college and very poor and I used wedding gifts for decorations. Five years later when I purchased my first small piece of art and hung it on the wall, I was ecstatic. I had no idea how truly wonderful it would feel to decorate with something that expressed me and what I love. Since then I've only decorated with things that are truly meaningful to me and while my husband was alive, taking him into consideration too. Though I will say I felt very fortunate that he didn't have many opinions on the matter and I got to do what I loved. Your home will evolve gorgeously with your creations and I wish you all the best! How exciting!

    First of all Paola I was mesmerized watching you make the woodblock art of the whimsical rabbit. It turned out absolutely beautiful. If you ever consider making prints of it for your Etsy shop I would buy it in a heartbeat as I have a special place in my heart for rabbits. (having had one for 10 plus years) I also loved seeing the renovations to your new house. Its all so exciting and I am so happy for you and Luke. I know you will make it even more cozy and beautiful with your talent for painting and finding such lovely things in second hand stores. It is an adventure in itself just looking in second hand stores and a lot of fun. I agree about furniture. So expensive and if you can reupholster a couch then it is a great thing. You take good care of that cold and I look forward to your video next week. Rub Mr Darcy behind the ears for me. Hugs.

I laughed when you mentioned your fairies faces in your artwork because I follow two other you tubers who posted the opening of their Cottage Fairy artworks. My first thought was that they looked as though they were a little in awe of the artist. I am a teacher too and so they inspire me. I have three pet bunnies, a fat hen, a tiny dog, and two foster stray kittens at my tiny home homestead in Africa. The children I teach would have little exposure to animals as pets, and now have a different attitude toward creatures they meet. Thankyou for sharing so many wonderful creative ideas too.

I live on a busy street with other tenants above me so I can appreciate the peace you will have. I think my favorite thing about that type of landscape is the silence in the winter when the snow falls and gently covers everything and the air smells so crisp and clean. ❤

It's beauty continues to impress me. By the way, I know you'll love the pine trees, among the most welcoming & the friendliest of ALL the evergreens, at your new place. Sequoia's massive towering personalities can be overwhelming & certain spruces are sometimes known to put on airs, particularly the more elitish dwarf varieties, but pine trees' aw shucks I don't mind at all where I grow attitude along with their consistently quiet, almost silent, personal warmth will make them easy, enjoyable, & relaxing companions for you to walk among any time of day.

    So happy for this new chapter in your life.....plenty of time to look for the right things, homes always look nicer when they have evolved slowly rather than trying to get everything at once. With all your skills and talents it's going to look wonderful. The couch idea sounds lovely and far more personal, will be something to cherish, maybe you could sew some cushions for it. Thanks for sharing, take care x

      Absolutely! I've had so many friends remark on my home and wonder where I got the things in it. They seem both surprised and disappointed when I tell them that everything was acquired slowly over time. So many of my younger friends are so anxious to purchase everything all at once that they forget that means their home only reflects who they are in that specific moment. While I can look around and see how my home evolved with me over time.

    How exciting that you are signing papers for your new home and that your fiance and future father-in-law are in the process of renovating it. It will also be a joy to put your own creative stamp on it. I enjoyed watching you create a linocut of the rabbit with moon and wildflowers and grasses. I haven't made a linocut in many years and it is inspiring. Jenny

    Hello Beauty: Congratulations on your new home ... It is going to feel so large, but wonderful and everything will be fresh and new - you must be very excited!
    Hope your Winter cold leaves you quickly and you are back to feeling 100% asap!
    Just know - everytime I watch one of your creative & peaceful videos (any and all of them) - my blood pressure seems to drop; as your voice is so calming and your footage is so smooth and relaxed - so thank you for all you bring to this (your) community. 🕊️ 🌈 🌬️

    You are such a sweet and sensitive person. I'm happy you found someone to spend your life with. It's so much nicer to share things with a person who cares about you. I'm sure you will turn this building into a warm "fairy cottage." You are both lucky to have fallen in love. Blessings.

    Oh Paula, it was wonderful to see your new home and how the renos are coming along. I too am very frightened of power tools particularly the kind with sharp blades! Gulp! I have a healthy respect for those who can safely work with them... and I watch from afar! Your fairies are delightful and it is fun to know how you imagine them looking at you in wonderment. Thank you for sharing your life and imagination with us. Much love from Cathy in Victoria, B.C.

I'm also looking forward to meeting your Abuela and seeing what fabric you choose to recover the couch. I live on a hilltop but also have pines all around. You'll have some amazing videos, I'm sure. Best wishes on all the good things coming your way. XO

    I love that your abuela is going to help you reupholster the couch, so that your relationship with her will be built into the fabric of your new home - for me, the things that make my house into a home are things that are made by, given by or inherited from family & friends. Sitting in the midst of these, I feel surrounded by those I love, even when I am alone.
