Making my POSTAGE STAMP BLOCK curtains in the Pavilion at Dawn

- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- Just the other day, Anna and I started work at 4.30 am! We hoped to get some beautiful midsummer photographs of The Last Homely House as the sun was rising for the 2023 calendar. At the same time, we took some video of my walk around the lake, breakfast in the pavilion and then, as the day was starting, I moved my sewing machine outside to carry on work on my Postage Stamp Block curtains for my Porch Makeover.
We shot more video than this - including a little chat with our breakfast and a lot more of Eileen and posted that to Patreon on Friday for their preview on 5th August

It is so beautiful and peaceful in your garden, Kate. Thank you so very much for sharing your home with us.
What a lovely video. I just found you as I just started quilting. A true sense of peace came over me. Thank you for a lovely morning.
I enjoyed this video I could hear the sheep in the distance Early morning, the best time of day.
Thank you so much for this lovely morning with you. Anna is such a marvelous photographer and captures you so dearly Ms. Kate. You are such a special friend to all of us. Your peacefulness, your patience, humor and great outlook is so wonderful. As this world spins out of control some days, I can always find you and know you will teach me something wonderful with a sweet and dear smile. Your children are blessed to call you mother and mother-in-law. Thank you Ms. Kate. I enjoy our visits so much.🌿🌻🌿
So peaceful at that time of day with only the bird song …. Lovely
I recently discovered your channel, Kate, and I am loving it! I no longer watch a morning television show - I watch you. Your gentle manor and kind ways ease me into my day in the most wonderful way. I'm so happy to take a seat on the Lime Green Sofa and stay for a bit...
Thank you so much for these weekly videos. I'm so grateful that you are getting help in the garden - it looks wonderful!
I have been wishing to see Eileen once again. My wish came true this morning. Thank you.
Kate, I recently discovered your channel and I immediately felt a kinship toward you. I've been binge watching all your videos. I love them!
Kate I know you realize how lucky you are to have Anna around. That is a DIL that is a definite keeper and friend. ❤️
Hi Kate! I’m new to your channel and love your videos! I live in Florida, USA and you have inspired me to dye my own fabric. I’m also new to quilting! I live all your hobbies ❤️
Anna is definitely the best daughter in law. Of course John is also a wonderful person. You are very lucky.
Being with you is so peaceful. I can see why you love your Homely House, like your own paradise. Thank you for sharing with us. ♥️
Sitting with you as you go through your day, no matter what is the activity, is like visiting a neighbor I have known my whole life. It takes me back to my childhood a time of calmness. The days of knowing all neighbors and being friends. Thank you for sharing your time!
Exactly xxxx
Such a quiet and serene place you have. It’s calming just to watch you and listen to the music. I do enjoy your videos from way over here in northern Minnesota, USA :)
I couldn't have expressed it better. Watching you Kate is like having a wonderful and dear friend. You are a very unique person. Thank you for sharing.
That corbel detail on the roof behind you in the tree house (?) , would make a nice close up photo.
Oh, my.... it is Dec 2024 now, and my finger accidentally touched this episode on the screen when i was looking for something..... what a difference the last 2 years have made! The pond, the cabin, the SAFER steps to the treehouse, the swings.... Kate, you (and Eileen) have such a remarkable area around your house, it is truly an Eden.
Eileen, what a beautiful life you have! Not every goose can waddle to her heart’s content in a place of love and peace. And Kate, I bet being up so early was a real treat. The world looks different at five thirty in the morning. I am usually up until midnight so I don’t get outdoors until eight or nine, but when I do I love it. It seems to be Mother Earth’s meditation hour - deep breath in, deep breath out - a shiny new day begins. 💚
I really, really enjoyed your video and gardens. I feel like I know you in a way. There are many deer here where I live in the high plains of New Mexico. The mountains and plateaus surround about 3/4 of this smallish town. I planted my first garden under my clothesline which was next to the neighbor's fence. I made a rough frame on the front side of the line, then covered it all with plastic netting. Had a gate diagonally on one end. I had the greatest garden the first and second year. Third year the grasshoppers came and ate most of it. This was about 12 years ago. There's a lot more I could say. I wish I could make some RUclips videos of my quilting and artsy works. However, I don't have a clue how to do it. Maybe a blog someday! Wish we lived closer, ya know. Keep up the beautiful work and wonderful sharing. Thanks to Anna too!
Thank you for sharing your morning with us.
So calming.
I love all of the flowers growing wild like and casual. So many, so beautiful.
Loved the early morning video!! Your home and yard is so beautiful and peaceful. Today in canada we are having a spring snow storm!! Your videos always make me happy⚘
Try fencing in an enclosure around your vegetable garden so the deer etc cannot eat your growth.
Love your views. Thank you Anna for filming so early. Great sewing outside.
Oh Kate, how idyllic a place you have there. I can hear lambs bleating as well as birds squeaking and singing! Eileen seems to also enjoy the stillness of the morning. I am an early riser each day ( 5:30am!) and I too like to walk at that time. My walk is not as pretty .
Your flowers are lovely . Sorry about the deer ! And it’s cool that you can bring your sewing outdoors. How peaceful a life you have.
Anna is a dedicated friend and a lovely person.
Love,

Hello. I just found you yesterday. And have been watching your videos. I so love the beautiful quiet life you have there. I just watched you looking over your garden from the pavillion. So very lovely. I live in RHODE ISLAND. the smallest state in the US. We are called the ocean state. Because we are surrounded by the ocean. I feel so peaceful when I watch your shows. Your lifestyle is something we all need in this world today. Which is peace. I am a quilter and cross stitcher. And do a lot of crafts and crocheting also. I'm 75 and retired and love working quietly at home doing what I love to do Hubby still works full time. It is what he loves to do lol lol. I'm so excited to see more of your videos. And to be one of your faithful followers. God bless you. Linda from Rhode Island USA
Thank you for inviting me to your early morning meanderings. And taking your sewing machine outside is mindblowing. Here in Auckland New Zealand, it is very wet and very cold, I wait for the afternoon sun to creep around to my side of the house and there I plant myself for a couple of hours or so to get some chores done at the sewing machine while the sun warms my enthusiasm. Aprons are on my agenda at the moment, you can never have too many aprons. Again, thank you Kate.
I understand exactly your feeling of the deer. We live on a city lot and the deer have been pushed out of their normal habitat to make the homes. So they still roam. I’ve had as many as 4 sitting in my backyard, and can no longer keep my lovely roses 🌹 as they eat all the tops off. But isn’t that life indeed…triumphs and disasters. Well said, Kate
Thank you for the most beautiful, idyllic, serene visit.
I live in Alberta Canada.
It is September 29, 2024 and you video has brought much peace and solstice to me.
My sympathy for you and your deer. My creature is an opossum or possibly a racoon. Whatever it is can climb a trelis and enjoy my melons just as they reach the peak of perfection. I cannot bear to deprive it as we are in the midst of a drought and a spate of 100°+F days here in North Texas. We have had more than 41 so far this summer and no measurable rain since June 3rd. So, I will call this critter Prissy Possum and be happy that I have something she can enjoy that provides her nutrition and moisture!
Oh Kate! Thank you for this video❣️ So calming and wonderful! Dedication is absolutely correct! You are such an inspiration to us all on the lime green sofa, by the way, you've made this aofa one of the most enjoyable, comfortable places on Earth 😊! Thank you to all of you who make these videos possible ❣️
You might try some human hair from the barber shop in a nylon stocking hung around the perimetor of the garden to deter the deer. Than object the scent of humans.😊
May 26, 2023, friday afternoon here in Abita Springs Louisiana. The weather today is low humidity with 78 sunny all day!
Kate, you are amazing. I need you in my life now. The laws of attraction have brought you into my life! You are like a counselor, a real friend ! Thank u for being you and allowing me to visit you in your home.
Awww, how love,y. I’m with you, I seek out water and peace and quietude. I spend time conversing with the Lord, and my loved ones who are in his care now. Love the birds singing. Early morning in summer is amazing. It has an aroma to it. Grasses and plants and once in awhile I can hear the buzz of a bee. Where would we all be without them? Sending Love and Peace in abundance dear. Be well. ♥️🕊🙏🥰
What a joy to watch today's video. Such an early start to the day, but agree that it's so peaceful and beautiful. I have to echo all. the comments above mine!! Eileen is a hoot...she knows just who she is and where she lives. The sentiment of feeling like I'm listening to a friend/s ---with Kate close to my age and I think Anna's much younger than my kid's ages (44-47). Have a great weekend and will be watching you on Tuesday on Patreon 💖
Kate and Anna, I hope you read the comments, for I don’t know it you realize the impact you are having on our lives. This video was so peaceful and restoring. Thank you.
Eileen has the cutest little waddle while she’s swimming.! What a little character she is. And how fun to have a pet goose?! 😊
That's lovely ,,Kate and Anna,,,,!!!!
Love mornings,,,,the best!!!!
Love all the scenery,,,,,and eileen!!!!
Thanks so so much,,,
Elaine e😍🏘🏘
Early in the morning I call the Spring of the day. Thanks for sharing your beautiful heaven on earth with us. Anne what a wonderful daughter in love ❤️
Hi Kate & Anna,
Yes Kate it is a huge commitment for Anna to come over and take the summer morning photos. But I am sure Anna loves spending time with you.
I get up to watch the sunrise with a nice cup of tea Most mornings. Occasionally when I miss it, I wake up and just get on with the day. I feel a little out of sorts all day. 🤔
I really did enjoy the visit to your early morning.
It would take a very odd person indeed to not love your uploads ! And this 1 especially absolutely stunning scenery, well done Anna 😊,It didn't look as tho goosey wanted a early morning dip 🤣 I thought she was going to get back out lol,can't blame her at that time in the morning 🤣🤣🤣. Fabulous video and about your crops & flowers, it's a tad annoying after your dedication to planting them,but maybe the dear has young she needs to provide for,I'd just go down that route so it's less of a urgh I've got no crops left moment 😀, bless her,she clearly enjoyed the fruits of your harvest 🤣.
We were both awake at light, happy with the way the garden looks at this time of day. )) Thank you for sharing the calm of your life. I've let stress encroach and make me fret. The gentle music in your videos (the only one I don't mute) reminds me to let go, be quiet, and absorb the beauty of mist rising on the corn fields, erase the world and enjoy the doing that needs being done. Its time to feed the kitties and me too. Good start to the day. Hugs on you all.
Your little piece of paradise Kate. I'd never want to leave if it was mine 🥰😍🤩
I love walking through your property with you. Wish I were not 84 and could walk without my walker and could wonder with you. Thank you Kate for being you and sharing with us. Thank you Anna for being a sweet daughter-in-law.
Beautiful video! The camera-work was wonderful! We have many deer too and, though I get frustrated at times, I try to remember that they are simply trying to survive and find food like we do. I will say that I have certainly had to come up with some clever ways to protect my veg lol :) I do love seeing God's creatures around me despite the hardship. Your curtains are going to be fantastic and they are inspiring me to be more creative with my scraps. Thank you both so much for getting up early and sharing this calm, peaceful snippet of your home. xxx
This is a lovely video. I'm almost jealous of the relationship you and Anna have; my mother-in-law had the biggest, kindest heart anyone could ask for, but she had no hobbies that we shared. My own mother didn't have hobbies either, other than crossword puzzles. So I didn't get to spend time with either of them doing those things that I enjoy. I'm beyond thrilled that my daughter has taken up knitting. We enjoy sitting together while she knits and I do needlework. So I'm grateful for that.
Hello Kate! Hello Anna! I have watched many of your videos, but have not sent any comments your way - until now. Thank you for all you do to welcome us into your peaceful world. I just wanted to wish you a happy day and send warm regards from a fan in Chicago, Illinois. My mother grew up in the country and often spoke lovingly of her memories. You bring me closer to hearing her voice again.
so enjoyed the quiet and calm time - and your garden and goose and kitties- flowers- i Loved the piano music - calm and resting - love this💕🥰
Seeing the reservoir makes me think of Hannah Hauxwell and her love of her part of the country- Baldersdale- and her feeling of union with the world around her.
I really enjoy seeing your garden and beautiful, green countryside. I live in No. California where it is hot and very dry in the summer and the fields are brown, so what a treat to see so much greenery. We have many deer, turkey and rabbits in our area and were forced to put up fencing around our yard. Kate, you have a kind heart toward animals, but it is a shame for the deer to eat the fruits of your labor. You may have to scare them away in order to have a harvest. From what I could see in your walkabout, there is plenty of natural greenery for them to browse on.
You have a most devoted daughter-in-law!! Yes, deer can be very destructive to gardens!! I hope you have a great day!!
What a simply beautiful unspoilt garden. You really have learnt the art of appreciating and sharing all the simple and glorious gifts of life. I love how you take life at a steady calm space and invoke such peace in your wonderful thoughtful video's. Thank you for sharing your life and thoughts without any pretension whatsoever, it's so refreshing and almost a sacred experience. You are a great influence for good in our lives so don't ever change who and what you and Anna are. You feel like a special friend and I love you dearly. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 😅🤗💕
I have to admit that I envy you and your beautiful serene surroundings. May you and your family be blessed with health, love and happiness.
A really good video you've made - you have a wonderful way of telling about the important things in life - my life has changed after watching your RUclips's. I'm going to be great grandmother in March 2023, just before I turn 70 years - and I've begun to sew, like you do for Agnes - I've had a lot of fun - you and Anna bring joy to me. I sit in my flat and enjoy your garden, sewing, knitting - I'm so thankful over finding your RUclips channel - take care dear Kate - greetings from a fan in Denmark.
Quietude. For some reason, this video, and especially the scenes of Eileen swimming, made me think of Norma. I suspect she’s smiling down on you from her heavenly perch. Much love😘
🤗 Thank you Kate for the lovely early morning visit. Take care.❤️
I hope you so appreciate your surroundings for 35 yrs. Kate 🤨🤗you are truly blessed! I'm an early riser and I'd so love to have your surroundings to wake up to😳 Anna too, such a help! Sweet Eileen!
Such a lovely video, thank you Kate and Anna for your attention to detail, always a heartwarming watch.
You look like an empress surveying her kingdom from the balcony! Lovely dress Kate! Another great video! Thank you.
What a beautiful place to escape to. Thanks for taking us with you. Always lovely to spend time with you and Anna. She is dedicated indeed. ❤️❤️
Dear Kate, Anna and friends! Thank you all so much for this wonderfully calming insight. I’m struggling with depression at the moment, so your caring presence was particularly valued today. I don’t know how you manage it Kate, but despite your increasing numbers of subscribers, you still make it feel as though you’re spending special time with each and every one of us personally. Bless you, and thank you my friend X
What a lovely comment Chris. I totally agree Kate's videos are very calming and so enjoyable to watch.
Hope things improve for you.xx
@@bettyboo8214 Thank you my friend.
times spent with Kate's videos have sustained me through the hardest time, and I am so grateful.
@@vickimcbride4153 Likewise Vicki! I’m so very glad to have Kate and her wonderful family in my life! Greetings to you!
I hope you have a chance to move and be out and about today. Depression is THE WORST. It seems it will never go away, but alas, it definitely does. Remind yourself that “this is temporary.” Movement and a purpose in life (planning and then doing something that brings joy) is what has always helped me get out of my darkest moments. You are not alone in what you are going through. 💜
Thank you for sharing your lovely English morning. I enjoyed seeing Eileen's morning swim and your beautiful flowers. So happy to see you climbing the stairs to your treehouse - I hope your bout with vertigo has ended. Thanks again.
This video makes me want to send to a video from my garden in the morning. All the flowers in bloom. Trees fruiting. All of our ducks and new ducklings living the life in our garden. Taking sun breaks in the house out of the sun's rays. Aloha
Beautiful I love seeing you sewing outside
Thank you for taking us along. What a beautiful, serene day. I wish I had such a wonderful place to sew outside.
Kate.
When you brush your cats, save the fur and lay it around in the garden. It may help deter the deer. Happy gardening.

Morning Kate, Thankyou for another beautiful video. Love watching Eileen having a swim. A stunning day in your part of the world.💕
Kate, I am so glad to watch this video just hours after you posted it. It seems I've only been able to find past videos that are 3 or 4 years old. While I have really enjoyed your older videos, there is something special about being in the current time. The sunrise and tour of your garden was beautiful! I love your respect for your animals and that you take your goose for a swim. I live in Chelsea, Alabama USA and the weather here is very hot and humid also. I love quilting and knitting and almost anything to do with your hands, and I sense we are alot alike. Please keep the videos coming! Melanie
Although I don't gave a goose I have the most lovely hummingbirds. The joy they give me it tremendous! I don't think I feel about deer as you do. People's food gardens are so important. It is my opinion that I must do what I can to protect the bounty of my garden. Your life is so different than most of us in the States.
I live in u s in a small town in eastern oregon. When I first came to look at the house, there were deer in the back yard and I dubbed it "deer house". We had come from another state to look at houses here and it was both startling and charming to see deer roaming everywhere in this town. It was late October, almost Halloween. Now that we have moved here, we have deer mostly in the spring and the fall. The DO eat some things. They ate all the buds off of my rosebush, but they leave the petunias, nasturtiums and tomatoes alone. We now put up barriers around things we want to protect and they seem to respect those barriers. It may depend on how desperate they are for food. Here we have an abandoned school across the street and they normally go over there and eat the grass.
Hello Kate and Anna
Beautiful calm vlog. There must be so many opportunitues to capture for photographs. Four seasons of the lake alone is a calendar. Good to see Eileen. Happy Sunday and spoil yourselves with afternoon tea🍰🍩🍧😘😘
What a lovely video. When I watched, it had 33K+ views. That is amazing! I love that purple dress and sweater. Hugs from the colonies!
I love the sound of a sewing machine.😊
Deer do like a hosta salad bar🙄. But how can I stay mad when I see the twin fawns walking thru the yard.
How lovely to join you on a glorious summer morning. Thanks for sharing. the music was spot on.🤗
Loved seeing Eileen run down the bank and plop right into the lovely pond!
Kate, You are so very fortunate to live where you do. It’s so peaceful.
Hi Cate I just find you in RUclips I love all things you do; but I watch this video 3 times till now; I am following your channel good luck you doing great 👍
How beautiful they are singing to our Lord
I received my bowl, spoon, picture, and booklet with a personal note from Kate. What a charming, unique and lovely package to receive in the mail yesterday. I agree, don't automate your business. Stay the way that you are!
Thank you so very much for sharing your day and beautiful garden with us. Your videos always makes me feel peaceful. Have a wonderful and blessed week, Kate, Anna, and everyone else reading this. 💖
So very Beautiful,,just amazing what God has made.
Nice to see the beautiful Eileen. Your property is quite lovely. I like the beads on the door. I can't wait to see the curtains on the porch. You are awesome Kate. Seeing the cat with the bell an Anna really great. Anna is such a lovely young lady. Your a lucky woman .
Yes very nice you always make me happy. Thank you very much Barbara Jean from California
Thank you Kate and Anna for this lovely video...it did ease my mind. Deers are cute but they as you told us can eat a lot. The garden looks marvellous, it's a joy to look at. It was so nice to see Eileen again, she lived her swim 😊 Did you ever take a dip in this lake Anna? Wishing you both a lovely day and take care 🧡☀️
Thank you .I love you of Romania.💕🙏💕🙏👏💕💕
Thank you for being my Sunday friend here in the 🇺🇸 USA.
O my goodness .I had to go back and see what you put on the lake ,It is Aileen she loved it Kate, Say hi to Anne And John
The part with Eileen (or Eldred) was so peaceful.
It looks so peaceful & beautiful there! You can see the look on your face, how much you love it there, & enjoy just being there! Quiet time of reflection.
Me and my sister-in-law always say how lucky we are that we live on the coast and how beautiful it is
That time in early morning when we are weaving between the worlds; that green light which is magical
Kaye everything is so beautiful. I love seeing the duck swim !!! She is so peaceful!!!
I love seeing Eileen out on the lake. She looks so peaceful. Your garden really is looking lush and spectacular.
Lynn on Hubby's phone mines playing up 😏, What a relaxing video , the light on the lake is so beautiful, I just Love how you and Anna get on 🤗❤️, I wish my relationship with my mother in law was better than it's been , it's so lovely to be close 🤗❤️, Take Care Kate xx Love to Anna too 😊 xx

Such a beautiful video Kate, well done to you and wonderful Anna xo
So much beauty to see 💜💖💚🙏💕
Much love to you both xo
💕 I simply 💕 watching your world Kate 💕
I love your garden! Also, your goose and kitties. Your cabin on stilts is really charming, as is the rest of your property. Thank you for sharing your morning with us, Kate, and Anna. 😊
Your property is lovely and so peaceful especially at 5 am. What a nice place to bring out your sewing and working on the curtains. There are two special things out of many in your home that bring such joy to my heart. One is the big stained glass window and the other is the curtains. Thank you for all that you share with us. I hope you and Anna had a wonderful day. Blessings to you both.
Nice to see Eileen enjoying her swim. Haven't seen your goose for a while. Keep well, Kate.
I'm in Awe of your little patch of paradise. I especially love Eileen, your goose. We also have Canadian deer feeding upon flower delights and such. Can't wait to see view the calendar you speak of. Cheers
