  • This week we endeavour to build a sofa for our mudlarking dolls house. It took awhile but we are pleased with how it turned out. Come along and see if you think the same!
    If you would like to see us finding the things we use pop over to our other channel "Mudlarking With Kit + Caboodlers" - / @mudlarkingwithkitcabo...

    The sofa turned out lovely, but what enjoy is your thought process and your loving interaction with each other. You are blessed indeed.

    I am so addicted to your channels .. Been binge watching for days .. I am a transplant.. My family moved to the US 46 years ago when I was 14. ,Watching reminds me of the best of my memories of England..

    You two are just treasures! Watching you two confuse each other and just try crafts with no experience is so refreshing and honest. You'd both be so fun to craft with 😂 That sofa looks amazing Kate!

    RUclips recommended one of your videos to me recently and I really enjoyed it! In June, our daughter moved with her husband and baby 2,300 miles away to a diffent state here in the US. We miss her terribly. So when I began watching more of your videos, it warmed my heart seeing the two of you working side-by-side with a common interest, as you enjoy every step of this sweet journey together. I've loved miniature things since I was a little girl--and historical artifacts too! So your channel has brought me joy in so many ways! Thank you for sharing with us. You're truly kindred spirits. ❤ I'm a grateful new subscriber!

    Listening to you talk and laugh together is as lovely as the things you make. I lost my mum 10 years ago, we used to sew together and were very similar to you, thank you for reminding me of those times and for sharing your time.

    I think the part that makes this so warm and relaxing is that you two can laugh together when something goes awry. Then after feeling your way through it the completed project somehow turns out exactly the way it needed to be. 🛋

    Watching this reminds me of when I was a little girl. Father Christmas brought me a dollhouse set called The Sunshine Family and it came with a pamphlet of decorating ideas. I used toothpaste caps as planters with a bit of Neptune Grass tucked in them for ferns, and made chests of drawers with stacks of matchboxes covered in contact paper or wallpaper, and tissue boxes for beds. I think you did a brilliant job with the sofa!! Well done!

    I really like the sofa! For a first time sofa making it was definitely a winner! I do not care what room you work on! I like watching them all! I also love your interaction! How you disagree, complement, encourage, and laugh! It is all so wonderful to watch and hear. My daughter and I sound a lot like you girls! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤❤

    I watch you two for the crafting, I love it. I've made chairs and sofas for miniature doll houses, and for "anything" to rings, and jewelry and can be used to store sewing stuff-pin cushions for many years. It is folded cardboard in angles in one piece.

    Such fun watching you two go through the design process of creating the project at hand! I don't know how you do it. I don't have quite the imagination necessary. I am totally enjoying watching you fill the house with your treasures! Now you need some adorable "Tiffany-style" lamps to go beside the sofa.

    @iansuehooper7542 2 года назад

    Very well made And thought out. Your hidden talents keep rising to the fore. Kate, the round armrests completed the sofa perfectly and Fleur your choice of that green and yellow braid made the sofa “pop” , to quote the Americans. Placing the little black cat on the sofa reinforces the view of many that cats love, fine comfortable furniture.

  • @SongOfSongsOneTwelve
    @SongOfSongsOneTwelve 2 года назад +2

    I really liked the green material with the gold ribbon and was pouting when you didn’t use it, I enjoyed watching you two figure out how you’d fashion the sofa. I thought you were so clever to even have worked out the design like the rolled arms and double camelback, as that is definitely in keeping with the fashion of the times! Continue to keep creating!👏👏👏
    I absolutely loved watching you banter and cut 🪡🧵✂️✏️and glue and thought it was so fun to watch you thinking out loud. Love to you both! PS, I think you should try your hand at tufting on your prototype and make a cushion out of that beautiful collar! 🥰❤️❤️❤️

    This sofa/loveseat is sooo cute! I still like the idea of a chair made of the striped fabric. You could tone it down a bit by only using that fabric on part of it or even covering it up with a throw blanket. I love the banter between you two. You just have such a great relationship. Treasure it!

    Kate you ASTOUND me with your FABULOUS created things from almost nothing. You wanted 1 and poof no pattern but you pulled out the cutest little sofa from that imaginative brain of yours..WOW GOD being THE GREAT CREATOR spilled ALOT of creative abilities into your head!! Fleurs head also. But your little welsh dresser and then this sofa are one of a kind ADORABLE. You Deserve the most creative young gentleman out there. I hope you happen upon him on a lark soon but only IF you want. I KNOW if I looked in the dictionary under way beyond FABULOUS kate your picture would be there. Highly impressive. THANKS for the enjoyment.
