I've enjoyed this tour again this morning as I needed something nice to enjoy in bed. I've a miserable cold and usually up and out but taking it easy today and trying to act my age for a change. Your sewing room is fabulous Marion and I love your garden. It's just like ours because we like flowers trees bushes but need our songbirds as well. We don't have a pond so we fill the bird baths when doing the feeders. We have a big springer spaniel called Barney who is not interested in digging so our plants are safe. He does enjoy strawberries and peas that I share and helps pick flowers for the house. ❤
What a beautiful and inspiring place to work. Everything in your room is beautiful. I've loved spending some time in there. You have such a beautiful soul xx
Marion thank you for showing your craft room. Your talents are limitless. Building ships that are so beautiful with tiny stick men out of real sticks. Flying dragons, beautiful raven in progress, and fabric books. And you have the ability to get an idea in your mind and then make it so beautifully. That's real talent. And you have a beautiful garden.
Ohhhh my words, What lovely room, Its cool . I love when people show their place, You look at the room, and i think you see the real person, I love how you can sit there , with a big room, sun coming in, and you see you garden, birds and ..... what ever, Your work room, is just the kind, i think is me . Thank you for showing, its just lovely Marion.
Oh Marion, you are a girl after my own heart. I can feel the joy and contentment you must feel in your space. Thank you so much for sharing your “world”. Hugs and blessings from Canada, 🤗🇨🇦❤️
Hello Marion! Thank you for sharing your craft room with us. I love your shelves with all the colourful treasures on display. The abundance of your garden is breathtaking!
Oh Marion I'm so happy you started to post on RUclips and share your amazing creativity. Your craft room is like none other, I loved every bit of it, especially that it looks right out into your glorious garden. My craft room is full of my treasures also and color coordinated yarns and fabric and things. It would be the most pleasant day ever if you visited my craft room and I visited yours. But alas I am in Illinois USA.
Oh it sounds lovely! I'm lucky to have such a creative space. It's definitely evolved over time but it's now perfect for me. I know some people wouldn't like everything on show, but I find all the colours very inspiring. I'm off to look up Illinois on the map!😊
Hi Pauline here from Mollymook Beach Australia 🇦🇺 😎 WOW Marion, you are so amazing !!! Your craftroom is wonderful, I love everything about it , like you, my craftroom is my haven. It's only a small room, but boy, have I got some great stuff in there & in containers under beds,& in the tops of wardrobes in other rooms & little does hubby know of the stuff in the suitcase under our bed 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 OH THE JOYS OF CRAFTING 😊😊😊😊 No need for me to tell you to have fun ... the proof is jn the pudding TFS XXXXXX
Ha Ha! Thanks Pauline. Sounds like I'd like to have a nosey around your craft room too! I used to have so much more than I have now. But I've really tried hard to get rid of things for crafts I don't do anymore. I passed them on or donated them. It's given me a better space to organise the things I do every day. And to have it displayed too. I'm sure all crafters do the same. Get interested in a certain thing, get loads of stuff, only to find that 6 months later you're not doing it anymore. But you hang onto the stuff! For me it was mainly papercraft and scrapbooking. I loved it at the time, but I'm just not that interested anymore. I gave all the stuff away to someone who was really into it.
What a special, special room you’ve created-thank you for the tour! Your garden is STUNNING-I can only imagine how amazing it must smell. I would love to see/learn how you make your cardboard boats and look forward to any of your projects-you are so creative! Oh, and I’m an American living in Co. Kerry, Ireland (to add to your list of viewers around this globe. 🙂)
You're a long way from your origins... I'm loving seeing where everyone is from.. My original cardboard boat was done following a pattern by Ann Wood of annwoodhandmade.com You should check out her website too.
Thank you so much for sharing your interest and showing us your craft room and garden all very beautiful. It's all in abundance like your skills and all that you love to make, it's endless Marion. Will look forward to seeing more finished project's, thank you again. xx
Thank you Jayne. I hope you'll continue to like the things I'll be doing and making. I'm very much a newbie at being on RUclips and making the videos as I'm not on any other social media at all.
Your Viking ship is absolutely amazing and I especially love the story. I love your creativity and imagination. Thank you for bringing us into your creating space! ❤
What a beautiful yard and craft room. Love to see all the flowers. It isn't overgrown to me it's luscious, full of natural beauty. I have always loved drawing Viking ships as a kid. What a great job. I'm from Canada
Hi Marion, Looks a wonderful space you have created yourself, so colorful and creative. It is wonderful to see the love, joy and fun you use for everything you do. I love watching your videos. Lots of love from Israel
I am mostly painting and embroidering. Mostly portraits. However, i love seeing the nature scenes of your books. I watch your videos while working on my projects 🙂 @@marionsworld24
Brilliant! Do you paint in watercolour or acrylic? I've recently been practicing my watercolour painting after many, many years of not doing anything beyond painting up furniture etc. I wanted to paint my daughter's portrait in watercolour. It was okay, but I didn't quite get her likeness. I have been getting better though the more I do. Practicing regularly is really helping me. 😊🖌️
💕❤️💕 Marion, I think we may be twins who live far away from one another. Your beautiful room is like the room I have here in Alaska and if I were able to grow a garden here i would want it to be like yours. I’m happy to have found your channel and l always look forward to your next video. Many thanks for sharing your special place.
That sounds wonderful! I wish I could see your space too.... I was actually thinking I wanted to visit Alaska a few months ago. But it was so expensive to get there I'm afraid. I even priced flights to Anchorage!
I love your crafting room, and what wonderful treasures, that immense button collection, the rocks with holes, and so much else, with that lovely garden just outside. Enchanting!
Oh to live in your imagination, what a wonderful place to be! Thank you for sharing your craft room with us, it's so eclectic and feels like a place any crafter could sit in and feel at home in. So much to see, and you're clearly a lady who has so much yet to do. Your garden is enchanting and must smell beautiful with all those roses, a gorgeous place to sit quietly and mull over all those ideas with a nice cup of tea.
You have a wonder and magical craft room and garden. You have quite a lovely voice much like a story teller. I think it’s just wonderful all Of the different flowers you grow and all the different crafting you do. Thanks so much for sharing a little bit of your world with us!
Oh so happy to have found your channel Marion. You are such a talented lady and your crafts are amazing and inspiring. Very much looking forward to watching as you share more projects .
Hello from Colorado USA! I am enjoying all your videos. Great craft room so wonderful it looks out on the beautiful garden. Thank you so much for sharing.
How happy I am that I found your channel! How delightful it is to be invited into your studio and garden. Absolutely beautiful. You've made my day ever so much brighter!
Hi Marion....well what a treat you have given us all...I love your craft room and I can understand how happy you feel sitting in there and gazing out at your beautiful garden. I have a Bernina too, I bought it in 1986 and love sewing with it. I live in Fremantle, Western Australia and it is winter here at the moment...yesterday it was 3oC at the start of the day but it does warm up. I love the knitting pattern you showed us by Jaki Bogg, a new designer to me...I love to knit and these are such colourful designs. Well...I look forward to finding out which projects you will make next...myself I am knitting a Marie Wallin yoke sweater in Jamiesons shetland yarn. 🥀🌸🥀
30deg in winter!!! My goodness Lydia we don't hardly get summers like that here! Which Marie Wallin sweater are you knitting? I forgot to put in a picture of the one I have the yarn for. It's the Yell cardigan. I'm not quite ready for a knitting project at the moment though. I'm off to look up where Fremantle is now.
Loved seeing your craft room which shows all your collections of what interests and inspires you. You are so talented and we are fortunate that you are sharing with us what you enjoy making. Alas moving so much - my husband was in the RAF - much of my stash has ended up packed into plastic boxes which keeps out unwanted creepy crawlies, allows me to see at a glimpse what is generally inside and repacks easily into moving boxes. Once moved they refill the old chest of drawers, dressing table and wardrobe (the latter has to be rebuilt but my husband refuses to part with!). Not much room left for much shelving as the large wall hangings of holiday reminders won't fit elsewhere!
I did used to house my stash and supplies in boxes like that too. Especially when I didn't have this room. But when we decided this could be an office/ workroom I jumped at the chance! I definitely do more crafting now that it's all out around me. I feel inspired by the colours, and everything is just to hand. I know I'm lucky to have that though.
@@marionsworld24 My main problem is that I've tried various stitching crafts so have supplies and need to remind myself they're there! E.g. supplies to do Goldwork, Stumpwork, Whitework, Crewelwork, Beading, Silk Ribbon and Silk Shading, Patchwork and Quilting, threads and fabrics to embroider and cross stitch and also knitting. I haven't got rid of my lacemaking pillows or supplies either although I've nearly forgotten how to begin pieces. Like in anything I enjoy making but fully finishing is the dreaded part unless I can take it to be framed! Too easy to spoil a piece of work you've spent hours making! Unfortunately I need to follow someone else's design/pattern as if I have to create my own I just go blank. Years with an Embroiderers' Guild branch (before we moved and they folded) at least gave me an appreciation of the skills of others using textile supplies in a different way to the way I do. That's me in a nutshell Marion. That's why I could gaze at the contents of your book for hours. Lockdown for me meant hours I could sit and stitch with no outside commitments to keep🙂. More me time.
Thank you for inviting us into your fascinating world. Thank you for telling about Eric. Love Norse mythology. I too am a butterfly crafter. Sewing, journaling painting usually two or three projects on the go. Makes for interest and also time to think and maybe change something you’re working on. 🇬🇧😊
That's exactly it Sheila! It's not that I have no patience with one thing. It's more that I want to do everything. So if I fancy knitting ...there's something there to pick up. If it's sewing ...again something there to do. It keeps me interested in everything!
I LOVE your patio/garden space and your special room! You're a great artist!...REALLY! ...and your spaces feel so nice (no doubt it helps to give inspiration)! I know it grows with time, and you've done it!!! The flowers!...the bird sounds! 'So many details...what a DELIGHT! Thank you for sharing it on our "walk"!😊
Oh my gosh. Your room is not just a tour it’s an adventure!! ❤. Absolutely love your boats especially the Viking story. Love it!! All your treasures are so beautiful. And yes love an older sewing machine myself. I have an older Husquvana. Just love it. Even tho it needs a little tune up by now. Lolol 😂
The older machines are a pleasure to use. I do have a modern Janome too. It's a good sewer but so light on the table that sometimes it moves around. The old ones stay where they're put!
What a lovely”trip”thru Marion’s imaginarium - (defined by Wikipedia as a place devoted to the imagination)! We are all so lucky that you have made this space for yourself and that you are sharing! Love: Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage. I would add to courage , imagination? And if that’s the case, I’m guessing your life is about to explode!!!( in a very good way). Now I can envision you as you work away to finish the raven or as you start to dream up your next three projects- thanks for the peek into your special world!!!
I have craft room envy. It is fabulous! And a beautiful garden right outside the door. Thanks for your videos. I am from New Jersey in the USA and I just found your channel.
Hi Marion, just found your video and so love your craft room and garden. I live in Australia and its still winter for us, despite this I have a garden full of colour and flowers. I follow your gardening style and love the birds and creatures that call it their home. I love the bird embroidery you are doing, it has inspired me to do ones of my colourful bird visitors. Looking forward to catching up with your past videos and to the new ones to follow.
Welcome wishes are flying towards Australia. I'm so pleased you've found me in my little corner of the world! I hope you enjoy doing the embroidery of the birds that come to your garden Wendi...
I found that clock unexpectedly on a day out with my sister. As soon as we saw it we both knew it would be coming back with me for the sewing room wall😅
@@marionsworld24 We moved house last year and our new home is on a new-ish housing estate. I have a small back garden and a raised flowerbed out front. The soil is builders rubble with a thin layer of poor soil over the top and the back is a blank slate of grass with one tree. We are west of Dallas in Texas and the summer sun is hot. It's amazing how many native wild flowers make an appearance in the roadside verges. I am learning and experimenting with what will grow well here. It's a fun experiment.
Marion, I enjoy your videos so much. You are very talented in so many things. I love your craft room with the many colors, and your garden is so beautiful!! Thank you for sharing with us! Much Love and Many Blessings! ❤️😘🤗💕from Maryland, USA
Thanks, Marion, for showing your craft room. I love everything you have in there and it's such a relaxing room. You have inspired me to change my room around and paint my cupboards. Can't wait for your next video. You are so talented.
Thank you for your lovely messages Nancy. I love painted cupboards. Paint is not particularly expensive and it can totally change the whole look of a room or a piece of furniture. The cupboard in the workroom was a total experiment in the way I painted it. But it worked out so well. I can't imagine it any other way now!
I love your studio and all the gorgeous colors in it💕. Such a motivational space for creating your treasures. Your ships are amazing!!!! Beautiful garden! Thank you so much for sharing🥰
So much to see in your colourful craft room! I love the clock, the painted furniture, the pebbles, the sea glass and the boats! I can certainly understand why it is your happy place and I imagine it holds many happy memories for you! I am lucky enough to have a craft room which gets the morning sun and like you I have more than one project on the go! As for your garden.....it feels magical! ❤
You sound just like me! You have to have projects in differing crafts on the go so you can do just what makes you happy any particular day! Happy crafting Gillian.
Yes Marion I have just started doing embroidery again after many many years and am making little brooches, I also have several crochet projects on the go as well as knitting and I have made a very small start on a paper piecing quilt! Being retired has enabled me to spend time doing crafts that I love!
You are extraordinary! You are an exemplar of courage. You cannot have that kind of maximalist flair without the courage to be yourself. Watching, I had tears in my eyes and a good ache in my chest. My, oh, my! (Not everybody would know viking is a verb. That impressed me. Have you read the Saxon stories by Bernard Cornwell? Mr Cornwell traces his own family way, way back to Uhtred of Bamburgh. Fascinating story.)
Morning Mara. I surely have! I'm a big Bernard Cornwell fan right back from the earliest days of Sharpe.. He's a brilliant storyteller. Did you watch The Last Kingdom? It really brought the books to life. They did a great job with the cast and filming.
@@marionsworld24 I couldn’t get into the Last Kingdom. I had visualized Uhtred as a bigger man and less pretty. Ha! I loved Sean Bean as Sharpe, saw that show before reading the books, so pictured Sean Bean as I read, though I think Cornwell gave Sharpe black hair. I read the archer books and learned more about warfare. The English archers creamed those Genoese crossbowmen. I recently read a different book set during that same war. Now I’m reading about Zombies. My little family has discussed what we’ll do after the apocalypse. My son-in-law is not keen on skinning rabbits. 🐇 - “yikes!”
Absolutely stunning Marion. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful space with us. Your garden is definitely a garden to aspire to. I'm really looking forward to seeing your future projects and I am now inspired to paint an old set of drawers I've had for 30 years 😊
Hurrah...definitely paint them! If you don't like how they turn out...paint them again! I sometimes just keep adding colour till I like what's there. Also I paint on a base colour. Then go in with a small palette knife and start scraping the colour on and off again. You can get amazing patterns developing that you could never purposely do. It's exciting to see what appears...
Very interesting and inspiring space! Thank you for sharing it and your lovely garden. I just discovered your channel the other day and have already tried the flower pounding project. Had a fun afternoon playing with my sis in law. Thanks!
That's wonderful to hear Fran! I hope you use your flower fabric for something special. The colours do fade a bit, but I never mind about that. Plus I overstitch things anyway. I was surprised so many people hadn't heard of it before. I always feel everyone knows how to do stuff already.....
Hi Marion. I really enjoyed the tour of your inspiring craft room and beautiful garden. It was lovely to see how you have all your precious things on shelves, I too like to have everything out around me, buttons,fabrics, threads and all that delicious stuff😊. I was encouraged to hear how you enjoy creating more than one thing at a time. I too am very much someone who goes from one thing to another, there are so many different crafty/arty things I like to explore. I am in my early sixties and live in a very topsy turvy cottage garden in the Strezlecki ranges in Victoria Australia. Thank-you so very much again for such an inspiring video, am looking forward to watching your older videos😊🌼🏵 💚 🧵
I love the sound of your topsy turvy cottage garden Maria! I'll be looking up the Strezlecki ranges as soon as I finish replying to these comments.... We're of an age...I'll be 64 next month. Thank you for joining me in my work room amongst all the colourful things.
Came back for another peek at your lovely craft room and beautiful garden. . Trying to sort my studio presently. Seeing your room inspires me to keep going, thanks Marion🧵😊
What a lovely space to do your crafting! I love all the color as well. I live in Northern California, so it is refreshing to see a place that gets enough rain!
Lovely room to cozy into, having all things in their proper place. Love the cupboard behind you.being able to sit down and carry on, whatever comes to mind. Thanx for sharing your private space Marion. Lovely flowers too. Your boats were impressive, considering the materials 😉🕊️
Thanks Yvonne. I've always tried to make things without spending a lot. In past years I just wouldn't have had the finances to buy the things I would have liked to, so it makes you be more creative with what you have available.
What a fabulous journey through your crafting world.. so varied .. I’m going to share this video with my daughter-in-law because she’s very crafty and I know she will love it ❤
I love your craft room. Your dragon boat is amazing. I love how your room looks out to that amazing garden. I wish i could visit but I'm in the mountains of California USA 🇺🇸. I'm near Yosemite National Park. I'm a new subcriber.
Welcome to my channel Polly. I'm pleased you like what I've been posting. It's quite a new channel. I'm new to all this RUclips stuff too... I'm going to get a map to put pins in for all the places people are telling me about.......
Oh Marion! thank you for making my day so much more enjoyable! A perfect craft room to create beautiful things. I always have many crafts on the go, sewing, knitting, cross stitch, tatting and lately I have been learning how to make felt dolls. My problem is I run out of steam and instead of finishing I start something new. After watching this video you have given me some inspiration to finish some of my projects. I am from Canada, my Mom was from Pitsea, they moved from England to Canada just after the war. My son now lives in Bristol.
Oh Trish... you're a long way from your son! My daughter lives in Germany. We're lucky to live in the times we do and we can video our children wherever they are in the world. 💕
Thank you for the tour of your craft room and the garden. It gives me the drive to get going in my own yard, and my craft room needs a good cleaning and reorganizing.🥰
Love your craft room. I use all kinds of glass jars for buttons ,beads and all sorts of tiny things. Love your ships! Love the sails. You are are such a creative soul. Can't wait to see more from you. Maybe a ship? Lol...God Bless
Your craft room is amazing!!!! I love your beautiful garden too what a lively place to live! Your cardboard ships are fantastic thank you for sharing❤❤❤
Marion, I happened on to your page by accident about a week (or two) ago and have been so inspired by your life style and sewing crafting style, I love your craft room - work shop,; you have organized it and set it up in a way that you can see whatever you need at a glance which is perfect for your multi talented life! You have inspired me to do the same type of thing with my little space, I love to follow along with what ever you are about to do next, and feel blessed to have found your site. Thank you for showing me what you can do with what you have on hand, and that you don’t feel the need to run out and purchase something new each time you are inspired, I love that you are a thrift store purchaser , and love to re- purpose old items. I have very much the same interests that you do and although we live oceans apart I feel a kindred spirit in you! I will continue to follow you and gain confidence in my own ability to create beautiful and diverse things! Thank you again ~Wendy~
What an inspiring space for your lovely craft projects and your garden is beautiful 😍. I'm so pleased I've found your channel with so many projects to inspire. 🇦🇺
This was wonderful. I love to see how others organize their supplies. You have so many amazing creations, and it's such an enchanting, inspiring space. Your handmade stone tools are excellent! We live in part of Wisconsin that historically had many Indigenous people. There are tools and artifacts to be found each year when farmers plow their fields. Collecting arrowheads is a favorite hobby of my father. Thank you so much for sharing! 💕
I really enjoyed your room tour👏 It is lovely to get to know you bit by bit. I appreciate very much that you are so genuine person and your incredible talent. Your peaceful presence is so soothing in this busy world🤗
Your daughter recommended me your channel as she thought I'd like it and she was right! This is the first of your videos I've watched and it was truly a joy, both your craft room and your garden are so beautiful and inspiring! I especially love the lovely open shelves full of crafty things, as well as the dragons, and the ships and the little viking, who is just amazing! And I love that so many things have stories attached them. If you do make another ship, I'd love to see how you do it!
Hello Beth. So lovely that Naomi told you about it and that you find it interesting too! She'll have told you it's a new venture I'm sure. I'm the most un-techie person! But I'm learning... Do you have any crafty hobbies?
@@marionsworld24 I wouldn't have known you weren't a techie person from your video! I do; mostly, I knit (I take my knitting out everywhere with me haha), but I also write, and have started learning to sew, spin yarn, and paint :)
When you opened the door...wow...this is an inspiring room. I'd love to work in it. So many colours and different materials. You must feel like in heaven. Best wishes from Germany
Oh Marion I so loved your tour.! I don’t think I would ever leave that room or garden. A cup of tea and crafting and conversation with you would be so relaxing to me. I live in S Florida and there is nothing so cozy here. Enjoy!!!
I think you are amazing with all the ships and the raven is just spectacular. So happy I stumbled upon your channel. I am writing from Arizona USA. Love your overgrown garden. We do have greenery here but not like this. so lovely to sit outside and enjoy the scenery. It has been 110 degrees here lately, just waiting for November to cool off some. Thank you for showing your special crafting place. Love the painting you did on the furniture too. Happy crafting and thank you again for sharing and the tutorials.
You're welcome Michelle. It's been quite cool here this past week. And very rainy too, a lot of my plants are dashed over because of the rain. I'm hoping for a nice warm week ahead...
Thanks so much. I'm lucky to have the space. Before we moved here I was always having to clear my stuff off the dining table when the children came home from school. There was always bags and boxes of stuff everywhere! I'd sew late at night once they'd gone to bed. It's a luxury to me having a proper space.
Your craft room tour is delightful. You are so imaginative and diverse in your many talents. Who expected a display of stones, from a stitching and embroidery video? I find it delightful how you think outside the box or reinvent new ways of accomplishing tasks....like the tab and slot book! It is magical to have you in my home. You are encouraging us and we love you!!! Thank you for sharing your ideas in the future, so we can be gathering our trinkets together. Oh, how I enjoy you!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Wow! Thank you for showing us your beautiful craft room, so many beautiful things! I’m in awe of your Viking ship! Eric/ Erik, looks like a mighty warrior with wind blown hair and to think you made him from a stick in your garden! I am very glad you share your world with us, you inspire the creativity that sometimes we forget that we have perhaps not to the depth that you possess, but if we give some time to ourselves, maybe we’ll find our own creative self. Thank you for that. And your garden is so full of life and beautiful plants & flowers. It’s a great habitat for insects & birds. Sure looks like a happy place! Excited to see what your next project will be. Take care. 🌷tess
Thank you Tess for the lovely message. I do believe everyone has creativity. Just sometimes it may not be what you expect. Finding the thing that inspires you is the key and then practicing that on a regular basis. Then there's no saying how much a person can achieve.
New subbie here and very happy to see your space!! I will use your jar storage idea to curate some filled with lovely pieces to sell - thank you!! I must say my favorite in your craft room are the tins and door knobs ... the crystal ones on your door and the porcelain ones on your shelf. Love the Asian character letterings on your wall. I'm still perusing but what a beautiful, inspiring space!! Love your Mum's tin with your paint brushes! And the ships!! OH MY!!! I always hope in curating my collections (I'm not a maker but a hard seller) that buyers buy and use their imaginations with my offerings. Your ships speak!! The good news is that my buyers are well suited artists and are already in the know of how to use collections. My challenge is bringing in newbies to stretch their imaginations, and I look to channels like this for inspiration to inspire. So, thank you and I can't wait to study more here!
Hello Renee. The porcelain ones are actually knobs from an old brass bedstead that I couldn't bear to throw away. So I just display them for maximum prettiness! I'm pleased you've found some inspiration within my sewing room. I know some people would like a totally cleared up space to work in, but I find my inspiration by being able to see all the colours around me. Good job we're all different!
Thank you for showing your craft room - it's so lovely! What a treat to have that sewing machine from your mom. I have my great grandmother's treadle machine. And I still use it. I love sewing on it, imagining all the good energy my great grandmother put into it first. I actually find it easier to sew on than the electric ones, which frighten me a bit.😅
I wish I still had my Great Grandmother's treadle machine... I used it up till I was married but it got left at my Mam's house as I couldn't take it with me at the time. My Mam ended up getting rid of it 😱 The Bernina was a gift from a friend. It was her Mam's machine...😊
Hi Marion, I'm sitting stitching,drinking coffee & re-watching your vids 🤗 Just been through your craftroom & garden with you again ... enjoyed it as much as the first time 🇦🇺😎😍
It took ages but was well worth it! And now they're such a lovely display on the shelves . Also, going through them all meant I could separate out really special ones into a jar so they were easy to look through too. I hope you enjoy your button sorting !😅

I've enjoyed this tour again this morning as I needed something nice to enjoy in bed. I've a miserable cold and usually up and out but taking it easy today and trying to act my age for a change. Your sewing room is fabulous Marion and I love your garden. It's just like ours because we like flowers trees bushes but need our songbirds as well. We don't have a pond so we fill the bird baths when doing the feeders. We have a big springer spaniel called Barney who is not interested in digging so our plants are safe. He does enjoy strawberries and peas that I share and helps pick flowers for the house. ❤
Oh I hope you're getting over your awful cold by now Vera 🤞
There's an updated sewing room video coming today! 😊
What a beautiful and inspiring place to work. Everything in your room is beautiful. I've loved spending some time in there. You have such a beautiful soul xx
Thanks so much Kayleigh. I spend more time in here than anywhere else in the house!
What a magical house and garden you have created ❤
Your craft room and all its embellishments are beautiful.
Thank you Tracey
Oh, I agree!
Marion thank you for showing your craft room. Your talents are limitless. Building ships that are so beautiful with tiny stick men out of real sticks. Flying dragons, beautiful raven in progress, and fabric books. And you have the ability to get an idea in your mind and then make it so beautifully. That's real talent. And you have a beautiful garden.
Thanks Karen.☺️ I'm excited to say I finished the raven last night! If I've got time I'll film him today 🐦⬛☺️
@@marionsworld24 That sounds great!
Love the ships and your wonderful space. TFS 😊
Ohhhh my words, What lovely room, Its cool . I love when people show their place, You look at the room, and i think you see the real person, I love how you can sit there , with a big room, sun coming in, and you see you garden, birds and ..... what ever, Your work room, is just the kind, i think is me . Thank you for showing, its just lovely Marion.
Thanks Niccolette...
There's actually an update video coming today of what my room is like now 😅
Oh Marion, you are a girl after my own heart. I can feel the joy and contentment you must feel in your space. Thank you so much for sharing your “world”. Hugs and blessings from Canada, 🤗🇨🇦❤️
Thanks Laura. I definitely think it's very 'me'!
So enjoyed your craft room tour , and I'm also glad I found Marions World , I live in the Isle of Wight , England x
I think I'm going to have to get a map and stick pins in it!
A truly lovely world you, the birds, the frogs, the butterflies . . . .and all . . thrive and create in i
Oh golly...thank you. You're such a wonderful spirit!
Wow... thank you Jane. I just do my 'thing' really....
Really enjoying your world & passion for crafts & arts.
Hello Marion! Thank you for sharing your craft room with us. I love your shelves with all the colourful treasures on display. The abundance of your garden is breathtaking!
Thanks Leanne. Sometimes I have a bit of a change around, but mainly things are exactly where I need them to be now.
Thank you Marion for sharing your lovely studio and garden with us. A very peaceful environment indeed. Love it!
You are very beautiful inside out and your crafts room so cozy and beautiful and the garden I admire so much 🌸🌿
Thank you for the compliment... I'm afraid my poor garden is looking worse for wear at the moment. It needs me to do so much tidying up....🍃🍂🌿 🥾
Oh Marion I'm so happy you started to post on RUclips and share your amazing creativity. Your craft room is like none other, I loved every bit of it, especially that it looks right out into your glorious garden. My craft room is full of my treasures also and color coordinated yarns and fabric and things. It would be the most pleasant day ever if you visited my craft room and I visited yours. But alas I am in Illinois USA.
Oh it sounds lovely! I'm lucky to have such a creative space. It's definitely evolved over time but it's now perfect for me. I know some people wouldn't like everything on show, but I find all the colours very inspiring. I'm off to look up Illinois on the map!😊
Hi Pauline here from Mollymook Beach Australia 🇦🇺 😎 WOW Marion, you are so amazing !!! Your craftroom is wonderful, I love everything about it , like you, my craftroom is my haven. It's only a small room, but boy, have I got some great stuff in there & in containers under beds,& in the tops of wardrobes in other rooms & little does hubby know of the stuff in the suitcase under our bed 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 OH THE JOYS OF CRAFTING 😊😊😊😊 No need for me to tell you to have fun ... the proof is jn the pudding TFS XXXXXX
Ha Ha! Thanks Pauline. Sounds like I'd like to have a nosey around your craft room too! I used to have so much more than I have now. But I've really tried hard to get rid of things for crafts I don't do anymore. I passed them on or donated them. It's given me a better space to organise the things I do every day. And to have it displayed too. I'm sure all crafters do the same. Get interested in a certain thing, get loads of stuff, only to find that 6 months later you're not doing it anymore. But you hang onto the stuff! For me it was mainly papercraft and scrapbooking. I loved it at the time, but I'm just not that interested anymore. I gave all the stuff away to someone who was really into it.
I agree with you
What a special, special room you’ve created-thank you for the tour! Your garden is STUNNING-I can only imagine how amazing it must smell. I would love to see/learn how you make your cardboard boats and look forward to any of your projects-you are so creative! Oh, and I’m an American living in Co. Kerry, Ireland (to add to your list of viewers around this globe. 🙂)
You're a long way from your origins... I'm loving seeing where everyone is from..
My original cardboard boat was done following a pattern by Ann Wood of annwoodhandmade.com
You should check out her website too.
Thank you so much for sharing your interest and showing us your craft room and garden all very beautiful. It's all in abundance like your skills and all that you love to make, it's endless Marion. Will look forward to seeing more finished project's, thank you again. xx
Thank you Jayne. I hope you'll continue to like the things I'll be doing and making. I'm very much a newbie at being on RUclips and making the videos as I'm not on any other social media at all.
Your Viking ship is absolutely amazing and I especially love the story. I love your creativity and imagination. Thank you for bringing us into your creating space! ❤
I'm glad you enjoyed it ☺️
What a beautiful yard and craft room. Love to see all the flowers. It isn't overgrown to me it's luscious, full of natural beauty. I have always loved drawing Viking ships as a kid. What a great job. I'm from Canada
🪡🧵🌸
Hi Marion, Looks a wonderful space you have created yourself, so colorful and creative. It is wonderful to see the love, joy and fun you use for everything you do. I love watching your videos. Lots of love from Israel
Thank you so much Dikla. What do you like to create?
I am mostly painting and embroidering. Mostly portraits. However, i love seeing the nature scenes of your books. I watch your videos while working on my projects 🙂 @@marionsworld24
Brilliant! Do you paint in watercolour or acrylic? I've recently been practicing my watercolour painting after many, many years of not doing anything beyond painting up furniture etc. I wanted to paint my daughter's portrait in watercolour. It was okay, but I didn't quite get her likeness. I have been getting better though the more I do. Practicing regularly is really helping me. 😊🖌️
💕❤️💕 Marion, I think we may be twins who live far away from one another. Your beautiful room is like the room I have here in Alaska and if I were able to grow a garden here i would want it to be like yours. I’m happy to have found your channel and l always look forward to your next video. Many thanks for sharing your special place.
That sounds wonderful! I wish I could see your space too.... I was actually thinking I wanted to visit Alaska a few months ago. But it was so expensive to get there I'm afraid. I even priced flights to Anchorage!
@@marionsworld24 you are welcome anytime!!! I would show you the sights!
I love your crafting room, and what wonderful treasures, that immense button collection, the rocks with holes, and so much else, with that lovely garden just outside. Enchanting!
Thank you so much!
Oh to live in your imagination, what a wonderful place to be! Thank you for sharing your craft room with us, it's so eclectic and feels like a place any crafter could sit in and feel at home in. So much to see, and you're clearly a lady who has so much yet to do. Your garden is enchanting and must smell beautiful with all those roses, a gorgeous place to sit quietly and mull over all those ideas with a nice cup of tea.
The garden does have amazing scent. Especially on an evening as the sun goes down.
You have a wonder and magical craft room and garden. You have quite a lovely voice much like a story teller. I think it’s just wonderful all
Of the different flowers you grow and all the different crafting you do. Thanks so much for sharing a little bit of your world with us!
😊🌿🌸💐
Oh so happy to have found your channel Marion. You are such a talented lady and your crafts are amazing and inspiring. Very much looking forward to watching as you share more projects .
Hello from Colorado USA! I am enjoying all your videos. Great craft room so wonderful it looks out on the beautiful garden. Thank you so much for sharing.
You're so welcome. That'll be another pin in the map I think I should put on the wall!
How happy I am that I found your channel! How delightful it is to be invited into your studio and garden. Absolutely beautiful. You've made my day ever so much brighter!
☺️🌿🌸💐
Hi Marion....well what a treat you have given us all...I love your craft room and I can understand how happy you feel sitting in there and gazing out at your beautiful garden. I have a Bernina too, I bought it in 1986 and love sewing with it. I live in Fremantle, Western Australia and it is winter here at the moment...yesterday it was 3oC at the start of the day but it does warm up. I love the knitting pattern you showed us by Jaki Bogg, a new designer to me...I love to knit and these are such colourful designs. Well...I look forward to finding out which projects you will make next...myself I am knitting a Marie Wallin yoke sweater in Jamiesons shetland yarn. 🥀🌸🥀
30deg in winter!!! My goodness Lydia we don't hardly get summers like that here! Which Marie Wallin sweater are you knitting? I forgot to put in a picture of the one I have the yarn for. It's the Yell cardigan. I'm not quite ready for a knitting project at the moment though. I'm off to look up where Fremantle is now.
It would be nice if it was 30oC but no it is 3oC so much colder ….😊
Loved seeing your craft room which shows all your collections of what interests and inspires you. You are so talented and we are fortunate that you are sharing with us what you enjoy making. Alas moving so much - my husband was in the RAF - much of my stash has ended up packed into plastic boxes which keeps out unwanted creepy crawlies, allows me to see at a glimpse what is generally inside and repacks easily into moving boxes. Once moved they refill the old chest of drawers, dressing table and wardrobe (the latter has to be rebuilt but my husband refuses to part with!). Not much room left for much shelving as the large wall hangings of holiday reminders won't fit elsewhere!
I did used to house my stash and supplies in boxes like that too. Especially when I didn't have this room. But when we decided this could be an office/ workroom I jumped at the chance! I definitely do more crafting now that it's all out around me. I feel inspired by the colours, and everything is just to hand. I know I'm lucky to have that though.
@@marionsworld24 My main problem is that I've tried various stitching crafts so have supplies and need to remind myself they're there! E.g. supplies to do Goldwork, Stumpwork, Whitework, Crewelwork, Beading, Silk Ribbon and Silk Shading, Patchwork and Quilting, threads and fabrics to embroider and cross stitch and also knitting. I haven't got rid of my lacemaking pillows or supplies either although I've nearly forgotten how to begin pieces. Like in anything I enjoy making but fully finishing is the dreaded part unless I can take it to be framed! Too easy to spoil a piece of work you've spent hours making! Unfortunately I need to follow someone else's design/pattern as if I have to create my own I just go blank. Years with an Embroiderers' Guild branch (before we moved and they folded) at least gave me an appreciation of the skills of others using textile supplies in a different way to the way I do. That's me in a nutshell Marion. That's why I could gaze at the contents of your book for hours. Lockdown for me meant hours I could sit and stitch with no outside commitments to keep🙂. More me time.
Adore everything. I’m going to gather some older pieces for my studio now. Thanks Marion x
Hope you have fun Jen!
Thank you for inviting us into your fascinating world. Thank you for telling about Eric. Love Norse mythology. I too am a butterfly crafter. Sewing, journaling painting usually two or three projects on the go. Makes for interest and also time to think and maybe change something you’re working on. 🇬🇧😊
That's exactly it Sheila! It's not that I have no patience with one thing. It's more that I want to do everything. So if I fancy knitting ...there's something there to pick up. If it's sewing ...again something there to do. It keeps me interested in everything!
Thank you for taking us for a tour of your garden and craft room. It is all so lovely.
🌿
I LOVE your patio/garden space and your special room! You're a great artist!...REALLY! ...and your spaces feel so nice (no doubt it helps to give inspiration)! I know it grows with time, and you've done it!!! The flowers!...the bird sounds! 'So many details...what a DELIGHT! Thank you for sharing it on our "walk"!😊
Thank you so much!
You give me so much inspiration. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful things. You are such a beautiful person.
Such kind words Shelly. Thank you.
Oh my gosh. Your room is not just a tour it’s an adventure!! ❤. Absolutely love your boats especially the Viking story. Love it!!
All your treasures are so beautiful. And yes love an older sewing machine myself. I have an older Husquvana. Just love it. Even tho it needs a little tune up by now. Lolol 😂
The older machines are a pleasure to use. I do have a modern Janome too. It's a good sewer but so light on the table that sometimes it moves around. The old ones stay where they're put!
@@marionsworld24 i totally understand what you mean
What a lovely”trip”thru Marion’s imaginarium - (defined by Wikipedia as a place devoted to the imagination)! We are all so lucky that you have made this space for yourself and that you are sharing! Love: Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage. I would add to courage , imagination? And if that’s the case, I’m guessing your life is about to explode!!!( in a very good way). Now I can envision you as you work away to finish the raven or as you start to dream up your next three projects- thanks for the peek into your special world!!!
The raven is finished! I'm hoping to post it later today. I just can't wait....
Diane .....Omg that is a brilliant way of putting it. Your words are perfect!! ❤
I have craft room envy. It is fabulous! And a beautiful garden right outside the door. Thanks for your videos. I am from New Jersey in the USA and I just found your channel.
Hello Barbara. I'm glad you are enjoying what you've found. Thank you for watching.
What an absolutely stunning beautiful magical garden gorgeous ❤
Thanks Melanie.... It is looking very overgrown at the moment I'm afraid.... A lot of cutting back to do once the autumn comes along..
We used to use Bernina sewing machines at school, I think they’re bomb proof! I think it will outlast all of us. What a good friend. ❤
I love sewing on this... It's a ton weight so it stays where it's put on the table and it looks superb too ☺️👍
@@marionsworld24 oh, I remember very well! ☺️
Hi Marion, just found your video and so love your craft room and garden. I live in Australia and its still winter for us, despite this I have a garden full of colour and flowers. I follow your gardening style and love the birds and creatures that call it their home. I love the bird embroidery you are doing, it has inspired me to do ones of my colourful bird visitors. Looking forward to catching up with your past videos and to the new ones to follow.
Welcome wishes are flying towards Australia. I'm so pleased you've found me in my little corner of the world! I hope you enjoy doing the embroidery of the birds that come to your garden Wendi...
That wall clock is what creative dreams are made of!!! 😍 The cabinets 😍😍
I found that clock unexpectedly on a day out with my sister. As soon as we saw it we both knew it would be coming back with me for the sewing room wall😅
It's always such a pleasure to spend time in your garden.😊
Thank you Sue. It's not that big but there's a lot in it!
@@marionsworld24 We moved house last year and our new home is on a new-ish housing estate. I have a small back garden and a raised flowerbed out front. The soil is builders rubble with a thin layer of poor soil over the top and the back is a blank slate of grass with one tree. We are west of Dallas in Texas and the summer sun is hot. It's amazing how many native wild flowers make an appearance in the roadside verges. I am learning and experimenting with what will grow well here. It's a fun experiment.
Marion, I enjoy your videos so much. You are very talented in so many things. I love your craft room with the many colors, and your garden is so beautiful!! Thank you for sharing with us! Much Love and Many Blessings!
❤️😘🤗💕from Maryland, USA
Love your craft room thank you for showing us round.
You are welcome Bridget.
The holey stones are awesome and a nod to mother Earth. Love your Viking art and garden
Thank you. I seem to find at least one every time I'm at the beach.. I've got the eye for them I think ☺️🌊
Thanks, Marion, for showing your craft room. I love everything you have in there and it's such a relaxing room. You have inspired me to change my room around and paint my cupboards. Can't wait for your next video. You are so talented.
Thank you for your lovely messages Nancy. I love painted cupboards. Paint is not particularly expensive and it can totally change the whole look of a room or a piece of furniture. The cupboard in the workroom was a total experiment in the way I painted it. But it worked out so well. I can't imagine it any other way now!
I love your studio and all the gorgeous colors in it💕. Such a motivational space for creating your treasures. Your ships are amazing!!!! Beautiful garden! Thank you so much for sharing🥰
@user-mk8sh9tj8m Yes, her ships are incredible
So much to see in your colourful craft room! I love the clock, the painted furniture, the pebbles, the sea glass and the boats! I can certainly understand why it is your happy place and I imagine it holds many happy memories for you! I am lucky enough to have a craft room which gets the morning sun and like you I have more than one project on the go! As for your garden.....it feels magical! ❤
You sound just like me! You have to have projects in differing crafts on the go so you can do just what makes you happy any particular day! Happy crafting Gillian.
Yes Marion I have just started doing embroidery again after many many years and am making little brooches, I also have several crochet projects on the go as well as knitting and I have made a very small start on a paper piecing quilt! Being retired has enabled me to spend time doing crafts that I love!
You are extraordinary! You are an exemplar of courage. You cannot have that kind of maximalist flair without the courage to be yourself. Watching, I had tears in my eyes and a good ache in my chest. My, oh, my! (Not everybody would know viking is a verb. That impressed me. Have you read the Saxon stories by Bernard Cornwell? Mr Cornwell traces his own family way, way back to Uhtred of Bamburgh. Fascinating story.)
Morning Mara.
I surely have! I'm a big Bernard Cornwell fan right back from the earliest days of Sharpe.. He's a brilliant storyteller. Did you watch The Last Kingdom? It really brought the books to life. They did a great job with the cast and filming.
@@marionsworld24 I couldn’t get into the Last Kingdom. I had visualized Uhtred as a bigger man and less pretty. Ha! I loved Sean Bean as Sharpe, saw that show before reading the books, so pictured Sean Bean as I read, though I think Cornwell gave Sharpe black hair. I read the archer books and learned more about warfare. The English archers creamed those Genoese crossbowmen. I recently read a different book set during that same war. Now I’m reading about Zombies. My little family has discussed what we’ll do after the apocalypse. My son-in-law is not keen on skinning rabbits. 🐇 - “yikes!”
Absolutely stunning Marion. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful space with us. Your garden is definitely a garden to aspire to. I'm really looking forward to seeing your future projects and I am now inspired to paint an old set of drawers I've had for 30 years 😊
Hurrah...definitely paint them! If you don't like how they turn out...paint them again! I sometimes just keep adding colour till I like what's there. Also I paint on a base colour. Then go in with a small palette knife and start scraping the colour on and off again. You can get amazing patterns developing that you could never purposely do. It's exciting to see what appears...
Very interesting and inspiring space! Thank you for sharing it and your lovely garden. I just discovered your channel the other day and have already tried the flower pounding project. Had a fun afternoon playing with my sis in law. Thanks!
That's wonderful to hear Fran! I hope you use your flower fabric for something special. The colours do fade a bit, but I never mind about that. Plus I overstitch things anyway. I was surprised so many people hadn't heard of it before. I always feel everyone knows how to do stuff already.....
❤loved seeing your workroom and garden Marion x
Hello Sue. 😊💕
Wonderful to see your room and garden Marion. Thank you for the tour. Can’t wait to see your projects come to life. 💕
Thank you so much. I do like having projects on the go!
Thanks for sharing your room and garden with us. I really love your sewing machine Marion. 🌷
Thanks Helen. A lovely gift from a friend who had.t ever used it as it was her mothers machine. It's getting famous now!
Hi Marion. I really enjoyed the tour of your inspiring craft room and beautiful garden. It was lovely to see how you have all your precious things on shelves, I too like to have everything out around me, buttons,fabrics, threads and all that delicious stuff😊. I was encouraged to hear how you enjoy creating more than one thing at a time. I too am very much someone who goes from one thing to another, there are so many different crafty/arty things I like to explore. I am in my early sixties and live in a very topsy turvy cottage garden in the Strezlecki ranges in Victoria Australia. Thank-you so very much again for such an inspiring video, am looking forward to watching your older videos😊🌼🏵 💚 🧵
I love the sound of your topsy turvy cottage garden Maria! I'll be looking up the Strezlecki ranges as soon as I finish replying to these comments.... We're of an age...I'll be 64 next month. Thank you for joining me in my work room amongst all the colourful things.
@@marionsworld24 It is a lovely part of the world. Beautiful fields and forests . 🌲🍁
Came back for another peek at your lovely craft room and beautiful garden. . Trying to sort my studio presently. Seeing your room inspires me to keep going, thanks Marion🧵😊
What a lovely space to do your crafting! I love all the color as well. I live in Northern California, so it is refreshing to see a place that gets enough rain!
Oh..we definitely get the rain! Last week it hardly stopped.... it's just that time of year here!
Lovely room to cozy into, having all things in their proper place. Love the cupboard behind you.being able to sit down and carry on, whatever comes to mind. Thanx for sharing your private space Marion. Lovely flowers too. Your boats were impressive, considering the materials 😉🕊️
Thanks Yvonne. I've always tried to make things without spending a lot. In past years I just wouldn't have had the finances to buy the things I would have liked to, so it makes you be more creative with what you have available.
Magical! The inside of your head must be just swirling around in full color ideas! Your sewing room has inspiration in every direction! Love it!
😊💐💕🪡🧵
❤ What a inspiring craftroom and a lovely magic garden! I Iove the Blackbirds song.....Thank you Marion! 🦋💐
Ooh.. I'm pleased you like it... It's most definitely my happy place to be 💐🪡🧵
What a fabulous journey through your crafting world.. so varied .. I’m going to share this video with my daughter-in-law because she’s very crafty and I know she will love it ❤
Thank you Freddie for passing on my channel. I hope she likes it too!
I love your craft room. Your dragon boat is amazing. I love how your room looks out to that amazing garden. I wish i could visit but I'm in the mountains of California USA 🇺🇸. I'm near Yosemite National Park. I'm a new subcriber.
Welcome to my channel Polly. I'm pleased you like what I've been posting. It's quite a new channel. I'm new to all this RUclips stuff too... I'm going to get a map to put pins in for all the places people are telling me about.......
❤ your room, ❤ your garden - both magical 🎉
There's a room update on the way ☺️
Oh Marion! thank you for making my day so much more enjoyable! A perfect craft room to create beautiful things. I always have many crafts on the go, sewing, knitting, cross stitch, tatting and lately I have been learning how to make felt dolls. My problem is I run out of steam and instead of finishing I start something new. After watching this video you have given me some inspiration to finish some of my projects. I am from Canada, my Mom was from Pitsea, they moved from England to Canada just after the war. My son now lives in Bristol.
Oh Trish... you're a long way from your son! My daughter lives in Germany.
We're lucky to live in the times we do and we can video our children wherever they are in the world. 💕
Glorious craftroom. I love the painted furniture and the eclectic bits and bobs.
I'm lucky I've got the space now. 😊
Thank you for the tour of your craft room and the garden. It gives me the drive to get going in my own yard, and my craft room needs a good cleaning and reorganizing.🥰
I love a good bit of reorganizing 😊
Love your craft room. I use all kinds of glass jars for buttons ,beads and all sorts of tiny things. Love your ships! Love the sails. You are are such a creative soul. Can't wait to see more from you. Maybe a ship? Lol...God Bless
Pleased you like it. There'll definitely be a ship in the future. Not quite yet though I think...
Your craft room is amazing!!!! I love your beautiful garden too what a lively place to live! Your cardboard ships are fantastic thank you for sharing❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing your happy place with us!
👍
Marion, I happened on to your page by accident about a week (or two) ago and have been so inspired by your life style and sewing crafting style, I love your craft room - work shop,; you have organized it and set it up in a way that you can see whatever you need at a glance which is perfect for your multi talented life! You have inspired me to do the same type of thing with my little space, I love to follow along with what ever you are about to do next, and feel blessed to have found your site. Thank you for showing me what you can do with what you have on hand, and that you don’t feel the need to run out and purchase something new each time you are inspired, I love that you are a thrift store purchaser , and love to re- purpose old items. I have very much the same interests that you do and although we live oceans apart I feel a kindred spirit in you! I will continue to follow you and gain confidence in my own ability to create beautiful and diverse things! Thank you again ~Wendy~
Amazing message Wendy. Thank you so much and thank you for subscribing too 💐🧵🪡😊
What an inspiring space for your lovely craft projects and your garden is beautiful 😍. I'm so pleased I've found your channel with so many projects to inspire. 🇦🇺
Update room video coming today!😊
This was wonderful. I love to see how others organize their supplies. You have so many amazing creations, and it's such an enchanting, inspiring space. Your handmade stone tools are excellent! We live in part of Wisconsin that historically had many Indigenous people. There are tools and artifacts to be found each year when farmers plow their fields. Collecting arrowheads is a favorite hobby of my father. Thank you so much for sharing! 💕
Finding arrowheads sounds amazing! If I was there I'd be asking to go with him 😅
I really enjoyed your room tour👏 It is lovely to get to know you bit by bit. I appreciate very much that you are so genuine person and your incredible talent. Your peaceful presence is so soothing in this busy world🤗
Thank you so much for your message 💐
I love your craft room and all the awesome things you have made. Thank you for showing it.
Your daughter recommended me your channel as she thought I'd like it and she was right! This is the first of your videos I've watched and it was truly a joy, both your craft room and your garden are so beautiful and inspiring! I especially love the lovely open shelves full of crafty things, as well as the dragons, and the ships and the little viking, who is just amazing! And I love that so many things have stories attached them. If you do make another ship, I'd love to see how you do it!
Hello Beth. So lovely that Naomi told you about it and that you find it interesting too! She'll have told you it's a new venture I'm sure. I'm the most un-techie person! But I'm learning...
Do you have any crafty hobbies?
@@marionsworld24 I wouldn't have known you weren't a techie person from your video! I do; mostly, I knit (I take my knitting out everywhere with me haha), but I also write, and have started learning to sew, spin yarn, and paint :)
When you opened the door...wow...this is an inspiring room. I'd love to work in it. So many colours and different materials. You must feel like in heaven. Best wishes from Germany
I do. I'm very lucky to have this room to make into my creative space ☺️💐
What a beautiful creative room and an outlook into a lovely garden, thanks for the tour 😀
Oh Marion I so loved your tour.! I don’t think I would ever leave that room or garden. A cup of tea and crafting and conversation with you would be so relaxing to me. I live in S Florida and there is nothing so cozy here. Enjoy!!!
Thanks a lot! I'm sure there are cosy places there too though...
Loved the tour - thank you. 🙂 Hello from Worcestershire.
Hello back from County Durham!
I think you are amazing with all the ships and the raven is just spectacular. So happy I stumbled upon your channel. I am writing from Arizona USA. Love your overgrown garden. We do have greenery here but not like this. so lovely to sit outside and enjoy the scenery. It has been 110 degrees here lately, just waiting for November to cool off some. Thank you for showing your special crafting place. Love the painting you did on the furniture too. Happy crafting and thank you again for sharing and the tutorials.
You're welcome Michelle. It's been quite cool here this past week. And very rainy too, a lot of my plants are dashed over because of the rain. I'm hoping for a nice warm week ahead...
Oh that’s lovely, I have a « sewing corner » would be too embarrassed to show anyone that mess but your space is gorgious! Your a fab gardener too!
Thanks so much. I'm lucky to have the space. Before we moved here I was always having to clear my stuff off the dining table when the children came home from school. There was always bags and boxes of stuff everywhere! I'd sew late at night once they'd gone to bed. It's a luxury to me having a proper space.
Your place seems peaceful and well done, thank you for sharing Marion. Blessings
Your craft room tour is delightful. You are so imaginative and diverse in your many talents. Who expected a display of stones, from a stitching and embroidery video? I find it delightful how you think outside the box or reinvent new ways of accomplishing tasks....like the tab and slot book! It is magical to have you in my home. You are encouraging us and we love you!!! Thank you for sharing your ideas in the future, so we can be gathering our trinkets together. Oh, how I enjoy you!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Thank you for watching it too!☺️💐
Thankyou for sharing your lovely space.
The garden is an Eden.❤
💐
Love your home and crafting room also your lovely garden !!!. Liove all your crated beauties !!
I love your craft room so much 🤗 thanks for showing us
You are so welcome!
Thank you for taking us into the lovely garden, so lovely.
Wow! Thank you for showing us your beautiful craft room, so many beautiful things! I’m in awe of your Viking ship! Eric/ Erik, looks like a mighty warrior with wind blown hair and to think you made him from a stick in your garden! I am very glad you share your world with us, you inspire the creativity that sometimes we forget that we have perhaps not to the depth that you possess, but if we give some time to ourselves, maybe we’ll find our own creative self.
Thank you for that.
And your garden is so full of life and beautiful plants & flowers. It’s a great habitat for insects & birds. Sure looks like a happy place!
Excited to see what your next project will be. Take care.
🌷tess
Thank you Tess for the lovely message. I do believe everyone has creativity. Just sometimes it may not be what you expect. Finding the thing that inspires you is the key and then practicing that on a regular basis. Then there's no saying how much a person can achieve.
Absolutely love love love your Frankenstein chair. Painting and your work room.
I love it too ☺️👍
New subbie here and very happy to see your space!! I will use your jar storage idea to curate some filled with lovely pieces to sell - thank you!! I must say my favorite in your craft room are the tins and door knobs ... the crystal ones on your door and the porcelain ones on your shelf. Love the Asian character letterings on your wall. I'm still perusing but what a beautiful, inspiring space!! Love your Mum's tin with your paint brushes! And the ships!! OH MY!!! I always hope in curating my collections (I'm not a maker but a hard seller) that buyers buy and use their imaginations with my offerings. Your ships speak!! The good news is that my buyers are well suited artists and are already in the know of how to use collections. My challenge is bringing in newbies to stretch their imaginations, and I look to channels like this for inspiration to inspire. So, thank you and I can't wait to study more here!
Hello Renee. The porcelain ones are actually knobs from an old brass bedstead that I couldn't bear to throw away. So I just display them for maximum prettiness!
I'm pleased you've found some inspiration within my sewing room. I know some people would like a totally cleared up space to work in, but I find my inspiration by being able to see all the colours around me. Good job we're all different!
Thanks so much for sharing your Happy Place with us 🪡🧵♥️
Thank you for showing your craft room - it's so lovely! What a treat to have that sewing machine from your mom. I have my great grandmother's treadle machine. And I still use it. I love sewing on it, imagining all the good energy my great grandmother put into it first. I actually find it easier to sew on than the electric ones, which frighten me a bit.😅
I wish I still had my Great Grandmother's treadle machine... I used it up till I was married but it got left at my Mam's house as I couldn't take it with me at the time.
My Mam ended up getting rid of it 😱
The Bernina was a gift from a friend. It was her Mam's machine...😊
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!!
What a gorgeous craft room and garden you have, Marion! Thank you for showing us your happy places.
I’m in Montana, USA.
Hello Annie... I'm pleased you think it's lovely. I'm sitting in it now and I wouldn't be anywhere else :)
I love your craft room and the paint job you've done on your chair and crafting cupboard!
Thank you 😊🖌️
A wonderful creative space! I love your grandma's carpet bag,and your cardboard ships are amazing ❤
My sewing/craft room is most definitely my happy space!
Just found your channel! It is so like my life, sewing, knitting, making books, bobbin rolls, anything crafty! It feeds my soul! Thank you.
Hello Grace. Welcome to my channel. I hope you enjoy looking around at what I've been up to. Thank you for watching too!
Hi Marion, I'm sitting stitching,drinking coffee & re-watching your vids 🤗 Just been through your craftroom & garden with you again ... enjoyed it as much as the first time 🇦🇺😎😍
Aw... thanks Pauline 😊💐🪡🧵
I can’t pick out one thing I like most in your sewing/craft room. I love it all. Excuse me, now I have to go sort buttons!
It took ages but was well worth it! And now they're such a lovely display on the shelves . Also, going through them all meant I could separate out really special ones into a jar so they were easy to look through too.
I hope you enjoy your button sorting !😅
Thank you Marion for showing your craft room. I love my craft room too, it gets very messy at times. 😂
Mine Too! I make sure I clear up in between projects, but when I'm in full flow...it's pure chaos! Well...organised chaos.. :)
Wonderful ships. Fabulous as your imagination. So much creativity
I'm definitely going to be making another one!
Enjoyed the sewing room. Your garden is amazing. Loved it.
