Really truly love all your garden and DIY videos, I'm 78 years old and you truly amaze me, and you're so much fun, keep popping those videos out, I love them ♥️♥️
The little dollhouse turned out so lovely and all the things that you made were just beautiful and you're such a good auntie making that little doll house for your niece. 🥰
I’m laughing with you about the dollhouse because as an adult lady many years your senior I made two castles one for each of two great nieces out of a cardboard box. I cut cardboard “stones” and adhered them to the exterior, added levels, stairs, parquet floors, and so much more. I absolutely loved every minute! My advise, Stay a little girl at heart always 😉
Tip: I was told, to hydrate my greens well snip the ends on a slant, leave in water at least an hour. Blot ends with a paper towel and dip the end in melted candle wax to seal. I do it still and it seems to help pieces I use inside not to dry out so quickly. Good luck!
It took you so much effort, however it was really worth it. It will be the greatest pleasure for your niece playing with this wonderful house. She will keep it in her heart that her lovely aunt has made it for her, I m very sure of it. Well done, dear Catherine.
Wow Ms. Catherine that was amazing and your having so much fun doing all those. Your niece surely love the doll house. My favorite is the Christmas village 👏👏👍
You’re the best auntie ever! I love to watch and hear the sheer joy you express when you’re making something for your niece and nephew. That same joy is apparent when you’re sharing your garden, your home, or any project you choose to share. Thank you! Catherine, you are a light in this world! Thanks for sharing your light, life, and joy with us. ❤ Love from 🇺🇸
L'Occitane is glad of their collaboration with you, . . . I'm sure! Best wishes for a very happy holiday season together with your family, and friends!
The gingerbread village is precious! The mirror project turned out well. I always save my purse straps and never know what to do with them. Thanks for the inspiration.
Catherine, you have the best ideas, and I love all of them. That doll's house is too stinking cute; your niece is one lucky little girl! xoxo's Sandie😊
This is a wonderful video packed with so many great ideas and inspiration. I especially love the mirrors and mirrored shelves you made with the round boxes. I think I’ll give these a try for my sister. Thank you Catherine for sharing your ideas and work :)
How did I miss this video? A cardinal sin in my book. Watched Sundays video balling me eyes out then rushed to this one. Wonderful video and is very special, will cherish Blondies appearances. Hugs xx
Now, every time I see a box that COULD be a gingerbread house, I think of this video! Our local Trader Joe’s grocery has gingerbread houses on their paper bags, which I am going to copy! In the past, I might have thrown the boxes out, but not now, because of YOU! Thank you for the lovely inspiration. Cheeky Thumbs UP and Merry Christmas!
I think I was having as much fun watching you create the dollhouse as you were making it. You are a bright spot in my week. Cheeky thumbs up from the U. S. State of Kansas.
and Mrs T OH how lovely the little dolls house is charming hope your niece loves it.Clever ideas with the mirrors.Oh the little gingerbread houses are so cute lucky little niece and hope Blondie does not get jelious you haven't made her something well done.
Aww Catherine the gingerbread village is so lovely. I’m sure your niece will love the dolls house too and the mirrors look very chic. Well done on all 3. Have a fun weekend xx
What a great auntie you are Catherine. The doll house is adorable and your niece and nephew are going to love it. So fun watching you. Cheeky Thumb’s up, my dear friend.
You sweet girl , have the Vision Gift😊. My youngest son has it too. He can look at a a large log of wood and just see what it needs to be. He does chainsaw carvings and wooden hand carvings. 🇨🇦
Oh Catherine that gingerbread village was amazing. The dolls house was lovely too but the village is my favourite. I can also recommend l'occitane hand gel as well as the hand cream. When we were all gelling our hands every five minutes I bought some l'occitane and made the whole experience a sensory delight. Great video again, thanks for sharing PS I'm planning a candle making session during the holidays so I'll be referring to your book to keep me right. If anyone is looking for gift ideas they won't go wrong with your book
Catherine as a miniturist myself you have done a great job on the house.i am sure your niece will love it.your a great auntie to have thats for sure. 🌹🌹 love the mirrors also.
Wow Catherine you absolutely nailed this! You are so creative. L’Occitane must be delighted with you they are very big on sustainability and recycling. The front of the house reminds me of Fortnum & Mason.
Oh, how cute is your little town house!! I am so sure that your niece is gonna have so much fun playing hours on end when she comes to see you how cute❤❤ Oh, OK! Your mirrors turned out really really cute. That is a pretty cool and inexpensive idea. I have to say the boxes that you are spraying are absolutely beautiful. Yes, they turn out gorgeous even sprayed but I’m thinking why are you ruining that box? Lol lol! Tell us again , what brand of boxes!
You’re amazing!!! I’m intrigued with miniature houses. Especially love to see you do the miniatures that tuck away into bookcases. I’ll bet you’d knock it out of the park with your incredible imagination. How about someday recreating your back garden, with the shed and greenhouse. How adorable would that be🌸❤️🍁🍂🧡
I’m having a busy time at the moment so I’m saving a few of your vlogs to have a ‘binge watch’ when I can! I love all your craft making but most of all I Lovvvve Blondie!😅🐈⬛👏🏘👌🥰🥰
Your creativity just blows my mind! Everything you made is soooo adorable. Your niece will be thrilled. My granddaughter had those Calico Critters toys. She loved them. ❤❤❤ So much fun to watch you make them.😊😊🎄🎄🎄
Magic happened right in front of my eyes ! Such wonderful little pieces! Loccitaine might think of changing their product line and upcycle their own boxes as their main product line!
Make a roof top garden. Another project you could find small doll trunk and turn it into a doll house that you could close up when you are finished playing?
I love these upcycled crafts. My favourite is the little village and I particularly love your hand decorating with the marker; so glad you didn't use the cricket. Thank you so much for sharing, Catherine. ox 🎄
I LOVED watching these upcycling projects. Especially enjoyed the dollhouse. My soon to be 5 yr old granddaughter would be over the moon to find this under the tree❣
Catherine these.ideas are just darling! I enjoyed your video. I want to create a little village as well. and I thank you for your great creative inspiration.🤩
Aww Catherine its so beautiful. Any little girl would enjoy playing with it, and all home made too. I remember when I was little we made scenes out of shoe boxes. I did it with my daughter when she was little and she's never forgotten! I can remember my Mum mixing up my Dad's shaving cream to make snow!! Such lovely ideas and brought back lovely memories. The village was so pretty. Thankyou xx
Aww your cute little house and Christmas village turned out beautifully Catherine, and I think Queen B gives the royal seal of approval lol, tfs x Julie
Oh my, the tiny ginger bread houses are darling!!! You are so creative. I also love the London townhouse... you could add a mansard roof or Google some roof shapes... With your imagination, I'll bet you can add a roof in no time! It could be the attic space where tiny rolls of leftover wallpaper are stored. Happy Christmas 🏤
Catherine, I think you did a wonderful job with the Gingerbread decorating. I just love these projects. The mirrors craft is genius, and I am going to try that with a round tea box I have. Happy Holidays to you and all your viewers!
Hi Catherine! Happy Holidays once again you out did yourself, the dollhouse was so beautiful , the decor you did with the round mirrors turned out so nice. The house village is my favorite so beautiful thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
Amazing as always, Catherine. The gingerbread houses were my favorite. With your talent and Blondie’s supervising skills, you never cease to amaze me. Cheeky 👍 from California. 👏👏👏👍👍👍🐱🐱
Catherine, when you were making your little village, it reminded me of last year's gingerbread houses. I challenge you to try to create another gingerbread house! This time use a serrated knife as a saw. That video makes me laugh so hard. I think you might be a sister from another mister!
aww, the doll's house is just adorable! Love the mirrors and gingerbread house scene too. I can see another book idea here...Dianty Diaries Treasure ...so many lovely ideas to reuse and recycle our 'trash'😊😊
Magnificent!!! 😗👌 Hello Catherine and loyal Blondie. 💕 Thank you very much for the wonderful video. I know you've made a similar house before, but it's beautiful again🤗.

I get it…me too. Wells call it inspiration 😊

I absolutely love all of your projects. They are always so beautiful and creative. Especially when you use things around the house.
Happiness is homemade! You could chopsticks for support floorboards. You must be their favourite Auntie ❤️
If I had "one wish" for a sister; It would be you. 😍🧚
The little dollhouse turned out so lovely and all the things that you made were just beautiful and you're such a good auntie making that little doll house for your niece. 🥰
Dolls house is so cute. You could add a roof garden. ❤

Oh Martina thank you so much that’s so kind ♥️♥️
I pray you are surrounded by loving friends and family this season ❤️God bless you and give you peace all year. 😍
The Christmas village is just adorable!! It amuses me that whenever I am doing DIY, I find myself thinking about you: "What would Catherine do here?"
What a great idea for a child! And Blondie’s cameo is so bittersweet!
I love❤️ your idea of the Christmas 🎄boxes 🖌️🎨 into houses and on a street!! 🎄
Wow Catherine! Your little niece will love the doll house! And the gingerbread houses are darling! ❤️👍
Wow Ms. Catherine that was amazing and your having so much fun doing all those. Your niece surely love the doll house. My favorite is the Christmas village 👏👏👍

The gingerbread village is precious! The mirror project turned out well. I always save my purse straps and never know what to do with them. Thanks for the inspiration.
This remind me of old blue Peter episodes. I had so many Barbie houses made out of shoe boxes 😅
Spray the tree scraps with hair spray, first, then snow. This will keep the shedding at bay ❤️
Ooh thanks for the tip!!
OMG!!!! I ❤ the round mirror idea and those are the cutest gingerbread houses!❤❤❤
Love the wall mirrors and they look fantastic on your wall.
Catherine, you have the best ideas, and I love all of them. That doll's house is too stinking cute; your niece is one lucky little girl!
