      Arne and Carlos were so fun to watch! I’m was so happy to see you tackle it Kate! Your star is beautiful lit up by your window. Also, so fun to go on your drive see your town and landscape. So beautiful and different than here in Wisconsin.

    I was searching for quilting videos the other day and happened upon you. What a treat! So now I’ve been binge watching you and felt that I should let you know how much I enjoy you escapades. I am the oldest of three girls so my Dad made me his “son”. Ha. I love watching someone that can do everything all by herself. Please continue to video because I so enjoy your channel. I hope you have younger than us viewers because you offer so much to learn. Sherry from North Carolina, USA. 😃😃

    Thank you, Kate. This is such a charming video, perfect for encouragement and getting into the spirit of the holiday season. I loved every scene, even the ice on the windshield moment. Your star is gorgeous both ways, lit and unlit. Sturdy, too. I enjoyed the shopping excursion into town. I'll be watching all of this again & again from now until Christmas. New subscriber.

    Beautifully done Kate!🌟 Barry to the rescue! Kate’s got her own handy hunk, hahaha. My husband and I made one yesterday and hung it on our tractor shed (no plug so we used battery operated LED lights) Every time I see a bright star I think of one of my favorite poems; “choose something like a star” by Robert Frost . It looks lovely above your kitchen window

    This video takes me back about 50+ years. One of my earliest memories of Christmas was my daddy making a star out of wood and for some reason he wrapped foil around it and then put lights around it. It hung on our front porch next to the door. We used it for years. I wish I had that star today. I would proudly display it at Christmas. I think of it every Christmas when I am putting up my Christmas decorations. I don't know why he put the aluminum foil around it, unless it was just to give it some color or shine. He was very good at making things. He would make us little wooden toys and cars.

It's the simple things in life that can bring so much joy (and you never disappoint.). Thank you! xx

    @debbiebabb9018 4 года назад

    Kate, I like you love to make things. I replaced my old rickety plywood bench on galvanized pipe legs, with a proper hard wood bench with 4 drawers. It was a kit so I didn't have to cut any of the wood. It was so much fun to put together, and I did it by myself. Not bad for a 66 year old single lady. See you on the lime green sofa for a rest later. Take care.

    Hi Kate, it was through Arne’s and Carlos’s RUclips channel that I first heard about your channel. How lucky am I? So now your channel and their channel are my “go-to” channels on RUclips. There are quite a few other channels that I enjoy, but yours and theirs are just so interesting, with never a boring moment, and I always learn something new. Thank you so very much for taking the time to film wee bits of your life for your followers to enjoy. Bless you!

That STAR is fantabulous, you are such an amazing lady and I wanna be just like you when I grow up. LOL! I do love the trip to town and the drive back was great, what a nice drive it must be in Spring and Fall. So glad you aren't in lockdown any more. Yay!! We need to move the LGS outside and have our tea in front of the star, with enough of us on there we should be nice and toasty as long as we do a rotation.

    Hi Kate, to get the heavy bags out of the car slip 2 peices of slippery fabric ( like the old parachute material) under the bag and pull the top piece out. It slides on the bottom one. It comes out like its covered in grease its so slippery. Then drag said bag inside. Where there's a will there's a way. Mandi

    Kate, if you decide to make this again as a gift, consider measuring the string of lights to determine the halfway point; then you can more easily insure that half the lights go on the first half of the star and half on the second. Another wonderful episode!
