The humility of this woman is out of this world. She doesn't know why we would want to watch her videos! I love everything about this channel: the house is so warm and inviting, the landscape of the area is relaxing, the green fields are beautiful, the way she speaks, her ideas and methods, etc, etc, etc. There are soooo many channels on RUclips of crafters that just paint and glue things they have bought pre-made at the typical places we all know, and they AAALLLL come up with the same projects over and over, 🤦🤦😒that when you see someone really working on something new it's exciting!!! Keep it up Mary! 👏👏👏👏👏
In a world of chaos you bring serenity to us through your videos. You exude a calmness that relaxes us whether you are cooking or creating. Your home is beautiful and inviting. If we are outdoors with you we can almost feel the nature that surrounds you. Along with many others I cannot wait at the end of a hectic day and get comfy in my own home and relax while watching you share your God-given talents with all of us! Bless you for blessing us, Mary! You’ve earned each and every one of your 300,000 subscribers!
Want to know why we watch you? You are real, completely unpretentious, creative, a good teacher, have a beautiful spirit, refreshing, reminder of the beauty of simplicity, and the kind of person I’d love to sit on the front porch swing with and have a cup of tea! Blessings, Mary, as you are a blessing to us!
These are my sentiments exactly! But instead of a cup of tea, it would be a glass of sweet iced tea! (I live in Alabama 😊)
So sweet that a viewer gifted you with the sewing machine. There are so many good and kind people in the world. Beautiful, creative, informative content. Thank you.
I giggled when you said you don’t know why anyone would want to watch your RUclips channel because I look forward to every Wednesday when I know your latest edition will be available! I love watching your happy, very inspiring videos! They are a great comfort to me. Thank you for working so hard to make them!
I agree, Jennifer. I enjoy every single video that Mary shares!
I think Mary is too humble to realize how much we love her 🥰
Me too !!
Me too! Right in the eye appt. Office!
Me too😁
Congratulations on 300K! Are you kidding Mary…I can’t think of anybody more deserving of this. Your gifts and talents are a blessing to many.
Congratulations! You are wonderful to watch and a kind soul. Thank you for your content. Here's to another 300K!
💝💝💝
Congratulations, you are amazing in your ideas and items you create.
I’m 70 yrs. old and I remember when I was a child, that is what our footstool was made from. In the past I’ve tried to find a video and today I saw this video. Thank you for posting this video!❤
Mary, I can not believe what you made out of tin cans. This is the cutest little footstool. As far as people watching you, I am obsessed with watch you. I started on your first video and have worked my way forward. I can sit for hours and watch you. Thank you for all of your videos. 💕💕💕💕💕
PLEASE, Please, please, continue with this series! I truly believe we will ALL benefit from this series!
Your channel is real not fake and so different I love the stuff you make … that’s why we watch your channel … thank you for what you do
The reasons why I watch your videos, you are real, you are humble, and you are what life is about, to simply live life with God in your heart and in your home and that exudes faith, calm, and peace.. Your ideas are fresh and bright, never stop sharing.
For me your videos bring back a time when things were simpler and wholesome. A time when we reused and recycled and fixed what was broken. A time when we cooked homemade meals and baked delicious breads and pies and treats in our grandmothers kitchen. From the music in your videos to your soft spoken voice….everything reminds of the good ole days when things moved much slower and we appreciated what we had. I feel blessed to have found your channel especially during these uncertain times. I can forget what’s going on around me and remember the days of my youth growing up on the farm.
My mother-in-law made one of these and I received it after her death. It is ingenious! She made hers by double stacking the cans, which made it taller, of course. Please do more of these crafts. Too much of our heritage of “making do” has been lost.
I agree!
I also agree with donna &Vbee
Donna, your comment made me smile..... I have followed Mary since the beginning, and one of the cutest things she has always said in her videos is how something she uses or has "will have to do for now" lol.
She is probably one of the most if not THE most deserving beautiful souls I have ever seen in my life, Mary is a breath of fresh air, if there were more people in this world like Mary we would all be so very blessed for it...she truly is a genuine and golden soul inside and out.....she more than deserves every good thing that touches her life.....
May God continue to bless her heart and soul, her life and her families lives, they have ALL got to be so very proud of Mary! I know I am proud of her and from the comments made most all the rest of us are just as proud....good job Mary!
I love that your making something your ancestors made, we need more of these to honor what they brought us.
Why do so many people like to watch you? Easy. You're a kind soul with a creative mind and a loving heart. Thank you for sharing so much with so many. God bless you...
Aww, Mary, what a precious tribute to your grandma. She would be so thrilled knowing that you remembered her in such a special way. You brought back so many loving memories to me of my wonderful grandmother. 🥰
God is blessing you as in Ephesians 3:20! Your sweet spirit is an incredible blessing to your many viewers❣️ Hugs to you from Houston, Texas! Linda
"Hassocks" seem to have fallen out of vogue but they are likely to be making a comeback since you created the cutest hassock ever! I'm excited for you with your Etsy shop and all the plans you have, Mary. Your videos mean that Wednesday is my favorite day of the week! You are amazing and we love you LOTSLY 💕!
My grandma made these and had one that I sat on at her feet for my evening snack every Friday evening when I spent the night with her. I also sat on it when she taught me how to crochet. I am 69 yrs old. Thank you for stirring these wonderful memories. Thank you for sharing this.
❤️
Mary, Mary, you are far too humble to realize how much we love watching you !!!! 😍
Your 300K subscribers is so well deserved …..congratulations 🥳
CONGRATULATIONS MARY ON 300K SUBSCRIBERS! I Love your craft talents, your Love of Nature, your Cats and Mostly your Love of Jesus and not afraid to share your Faith! Thanks and Prayers for many more SUBSCRIBERS 🙏!
This was a sweet nod to your grandma! You are so talented and I love how you dive in and tackle so many unique projects. Thanks again for inspiring me...you are my favorite part of Wednesdays!
This turned out really cute! I’ve been sewing for over 70 years (and done some upholstery too) and can say you did a good job. This could be really fiddley to sew. Your Grandmother would be proud. 👍🏻
Whatever you make,you make with such perfection, I wish I had a quarter of your talent.Thank you for sharing your talents with us.Great things happen to great humble folks
Congratulations Mary. I became a subscriber at 13,000. I was painting all my furniture white while watching your earlier painting videos. To God be the Glory. I love the scripture that says, "If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land;" Isa 1:19. Thank you for inspiring all of us.
That is the cutest little ottoman I've ever seen!! I tell all my crafty friends to watch you and we watch you because you are so genuine and lovely. Just love all you do!
I have never heard of these tin can hassocks! Ingenious! I would love to see a series on old-timey makes... and I'd like to try making one of these hassocks! Congratulations on making it to 300K subscribers.
EVERYTHING in this comment is exactly what I wanted to say. How utterly adorable this hassock is!
Genius! What an imagination! You are so creative Mary! You truly inspire me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️!
Mary.... the reason why you have sooo many subscribers is because you are soo talented and hard working. God given maybe?
I love your posts... and that your family support you..... and you support your community. Lots of love from the UK. XXX
Dear Mary, I rarely comment but I always watch your weekly videos. Your hassock is adorable. You shouldn't be surprised at how many followers you have. You are so talented and more importantly so down to earth. As a fellow Christian I am thankful for you and I love how God has blessed you and your family.
So cute. Thank you again Mary for your calm and humble spirit. May God bless you and your family 💕
Thank you, Mary! I have an old hassock from my childhood I’ve been wanting to recover but wasn’t sure how. Now I’m excited to go get fabric and try it. And yes, mine was made by an Amish lady too. :)
Who wouldn’t want to watch you!!!! A beautiful person who makes beautiful things ❤️🇨🇦
Our elders rarely threw anything away.They always found a practical use for almost everything Truly turned trash into treasure.
Love the hassock and can't wait to make my own. With all the craziness in the world today I look forward to watching your videos. Relaxing, calming and so many ideas.
Congratulations on 300k! You are a joy to watch and so very inspiring! From cleaning tasks to makeovers, I think we all enjoy your pleasant nature, you are a breath of fresh air in a sometimes very dark world. 💞 I look forward to Wednesday when I get to see what fun things you are up to! Thanks Mary and good job!
You are amazingly talented Mary that's why so many people watch you ❤
I watch you faithfully because you bring a blessing to me each video. I always look forward to your videos. Please keep them coming and may God bless you today my sister in christ! 🙏
I remember these!!!! My grandma had one and we did too! My grandma was an amazing seamstress too. She slipcovered everything from scraps and old clothes. Growing up during the depression they didn't waste a single thing. I figured it would be pretty cut and dry to make. Just never put the effort into locking in the steps. Thanks for sharing! Your series idea sounds like a winner!
Ah, ❤️ grandmas ❤️
Your grandmother sounds amazing!❤
I would love to see you take us through your process of canning up your chili soup! I think a lot of young wives are wanting to learn this & your kind, gentle teaching style is perfect. Of course us old canners would be open to any new tricks watching someone else, too.
I was thinking the same thing.
I would love the recipe! 🙂
I would love this recipe as well!
I don't think she got a good response to her last video with canning broth as she uses unsafe canning practices and doesn't even own a canner. So as much as I love her videos I hope she doesn't, someone might be harmed.
@@poodlegirl55 She could just do the recipe part and skip the canning part. I'd love to see how she makes it.
Every Wednesday I come from work & the first thing I do is seat down to eat while watching your video. Aren’t you so special!! Yes you are!!
Mary,I love your channel. Look forward to your videos every week. You don't realize how much of Jesus I see in you. Keep up the wonderful job.
Oh Mary I "CANT" imagen starting my Wednesday without you. You are so talented in everyway. You and John work so good together it's exciting watch the both of you doing your projects. I love everything you do, the hossock turned out AMAZING!
I love your show Mary. I look forward to it every Wednesday. Believe it or not, my 31 year old son likes to watch with me. He's amazed at how talented and hard working you are!
Mary you are such a lovely lady , your gentle nature is one of the reasons we all watch you . You’re talent with all things crafty and your stylish way of decorating keep us all coming back . You have inspired me to try so many things and I have learned so much from you . I am so glad that your channel is going so well . I have been watching from the start and look forward to your videos every week . Thankyou Mary for brightening my days 😊.
Grandmothers know best. Too cute.
Congratulations, Mary on reaching 300,000 subscribers! It is well deserved! Your videos are so well executed from your tutorials down to the videography and music. During these difficult times and fast paced world we live in, it's so nice to slow down for a few minutes and enjoy the beautiful simplicity you bring to all your videos. It's like welcoming a family member into our home. Thank you for all the inspiration you bring. ❤
OMG, you just took cans and turned them into an awesome piece of furniture. You amaze me!❤️
Absolutely adorable. Your grandma would be so proud
I had forgotten about those little stools, what a sweet reminder from my childhood
Oh, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this little hassock. And as lovely and useful it would be to any adult, I can only imagine the delight it would bring to toddlers, as it would be the ideal size for them to sit on and would be light enough for the to move around. Mary, your ideas are amazing and I thank you so much for sharing them with us.
Oh, Mary! I have not heard the word "hassock" in so many years. My grandparents used to call their 'ottoman' a hassock. I love your creation and I hope to make one in the future. You are always a ray of sunshine on Wednesdays.
Absolutely darling,who ever thought from tin cans that you could make something so cute and functional . Mary you never cease to amaze me with your talents. Love your spirit. Take care….. Thank you for sharing Mary…❤️
That’s darling. I remember my grandmother using these hassocks. Never knew they were home made. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 God bless
that is so cute! My great grandmother's both had these in their homes but I never realized what they were until now! I got to go through their homes when they passed away, as the oldest grandchild, I got dibs, and I passed them over...now I wish I hadn't. This would be something neat to make now to pass down to my grandkids. Congrats on the 300k subs! I know you say you don't know why we watch you, and I can only speak for myself, but I watch you bc I love how incredibly talented you are with your hands, spray guns, power tools, etc. You inspire me so so much. ~Kelly
When visiting my 96 year old Mom she was telling me about how you can make a small hassock from tin cans. Her mother did this many years ago. I may have to give this a try for her as she is wanting something light to grab to put her feet up on. Thanks Mary. Always look forward to your videos here in Buckhorn, Ontario, Canada.
We watch you because you are so real. And I like that you use old things to make new things.
Mary you are so humble. Why wouldn't anyone want to watch your videos? You're just so interesting in content & to watch. Never think that you are not interesting, because you are. This little stool is darling. So inventive!! I would love to spend the day with you & learn so much of your Amish ways. Keep doing what you do & you will be ok in the eyes of your viewers. God bless.
I could watch you everyday!! This hassock is fabulous!!! Love the fabric also as I am a big blue person!!! I look forward to all your contend and really would love more, your creativity is boundless!!!
Congratulations on reaching 300,000 subscribers! Thank you for sharing this project! It turned out so cute and makes me want to learn how to sew!
Mary, you represent Ohio in such a positive and wonderful way. As a fellow Ohioan I am so proud of you, your amazing talent and your faith. Keep up the great work you do and God Bless! Hugs from Chillicothe Ohio! Go Buckeyes!! 🏉
I was so happy to find this! My grandma made each one of us our own "can stool“. I’m nearly 69 yrs old and still had mine until about 5 years ago. It was all completely done by hand and not as fancy as yours.
The cans were taped together with old strapping tape and tied with cord. A piece of oil cloth covered the bottoms of the cans and the top was padded with cotton. Material was a large circle and covered the whole thing. It was placed on the material with the top down and hand stitched all around and drawn tight at the bottom.
She then crochet a cover for the outside. I haven’t been able to figure out the "pattern” for the cover so mine no longer had the crocheted cover.
It brought back a lot of memories watching your video!❤
Oh my goodness Mary! 🤩 I totally remember my grandma having a couple of these. I just have to make one now! Thank you sooooo much for this!!!!!!
Oh my goodness. Adorable! I'm definitely trying that. Thank you for sharing something from your grandma. That's very special. ❤️
Te amamos mucho, Mary!!! Eres especial.❤❤❤
We watch you because you are sweet, you are intelligent, and you are talented.
My grandmother had these as well. She was an amazing seamstress and often made my clothes for me. Thanks for bringing these memories back to me.
Love the footstool!!! Our grandmothers were so thrifty!!! Thank you for sharing! I am so happy for you hitting 300,000 subscribers! Looking forward to your next video!
Mary, I think your popularity is due to you being such an honest, genuinely good person. I love that you share your ideas and artistry with us. You are a blessing and I can’t wait to visit the antique mall and some of the sops in your area this summer.
God blessed you with a Genius, Brilliant Mind. Period. May you be well, and continued success for millions more blessings. You are the sweetest, most humble person I have ever watched on You Tube! Perhaps this might give you a clue as to why you are so loved!!!!! You certainly mesmerize me just watching you!!!!! And you show me how to be a kinder person.
My family always had one of these when I was growing up as did my grandparents. You don't see them nowadays. . Yours came out so cute. You mentioned you hit 300,000 subsvribers, CONGRATULATIONs!!.Thank you for all your time & effort you put into your channel, videos, and projects. Mary, you are like a breath of fresh air to watch. Keepp doing what your doing.
What a great project. I can’t say I’ve ever seen anything like it but I love how it turned out. Nice job!
I can tell you exactly why I watch you....you are very talented yet seem humble, you're hardworking, you have great ideas, your temperament and pace of videos are very relaxing, and your home is so pretty and clean. I am inspired by you and your work ethic! God bless you and your family.
One reason, although I’m sure there are many Is that you have a warm and genuine manner. I appreciate the time you take to share with all of us.
In these crazy times those of us that follow you find a kindred spirit.........💗
That turned out so adorable! And I’m itching to start adding spring stuff to my house too!
Hi Mary, I remember a friend I worked with who made one of these. I loved it but didn't have the confidence to try. All these years later I'm going to try this. Thank you for your channel that gives me the confidence to try things I never would have without you. God bless you for using your talent to help us be the women He wants us to be.
Hassocks have been big here in California for the last two seasons. You did a great job, it is adorable.
I love watching you because you are calm, you stick to your project and give details. You work through any problems that may arise. And you are sweet and very humble…That’s why I enjoy watching you!
We watch you because you are such a kind sweet person.
I love the hassock! Congratulations on your 300,000 subscribers and I can't wait to hear the big announcement. Have a lovely day Mary!
Congratulations on 300K subs Mary 🎉 Well deserved‼️ You can't believe why anyone would want to watch you?! There are times that I watch the same video of yours over and over again lol. I honestly cannot get enough of you ❣️ When you were uploading more videos before Christmas, I was in my complete glory 😍 The project today turned out great 💯 You would never know that it was made out if can! Thank you so much for always being such a huge inspiration ❤
This is just so beautiful and creative. Who wouldn't want one like this!!!. Mary its just crazy good. I have searched high and low for a Christmas tree like yours. I cant imagine ever putting it away if I ever find one. It's the best one I've seen and trust me when I say I have looked at hundreds and hundreds. God Bless you Mary and it's easy to see why you have 301000 subscribers. You love the Lord and aren't ashamed of it. You make beautiful stuff and people are dran to you. You work like a machine and you inspire!!!
Can't believe it!!! Who knew???? Tomato juice tin cans!!! Recycling at it's best
CONGRATULATIONS...300 thousand!!! Always thought you'd do it!!!!....🎉🎊❤🤗
Love this, Mary! Well done and such a cute fabric and trim! Keep the old-time proects coming, so fun and Congrats on 300k!!! You deserve it. You're a joy to watch. :)
Love this! For beginners - I think those smaller popcorn tins would work well too. They wouldn't be flower shaped - but would have a more even border. Really cute with the pompoms!!
We have a tin can hossack made by my husband’s grandmother. 😀 So glad to see this process.
This video took me back to my childhood. I remember someone having one.
I've never seen one of those but I sure love it. Maybe I'll try it. You are so awesome! I really like your videos.
So cute! Just adoreable. I also have the same fabric from hobby lobby. Will give this a try. Thank you Mary! God Bless.
Your grandma was a genius.
My Grandma Parker made one of these for me when I was 3 or 4. She made collected juice cans from everyone and made one for all the kids she babysat. Wonderful lady and wonderful memories! Thank you for bringing those memories back!!
Hi Mary, I loved this and plan on making one, what a great idea sometimes ottomans can be too big. This hassock was so cute! I always look forward to seeing your videos, love them.
Very cute foot stool! Never new you could use tin cans this way. So talented 👏
O my goodness! You r amazing . Everyone loves you! I can't wait till u make another video. Thankyou! Don't ever stop making videos.God Bless.
Happiness is homemade! I love your channel because you share yourself with us your love of family, nature and homemaking. Mary you show us all what is important in life The love for life . Thank you.
That is the cutest ottoman/hassock ever! I've been looking into getting one so I will give this a shot. Thank you for sharing Mary!!
What fun, and SO CUTE!! ❤️ I especially love the extra foam to make the top round. I wonder if you could pour some sand into the cans to make it more bottom-heavy, then seal the openings with a little duct tape? Also, if someone wanted to tuft the top, you could add a screw through the finished hassock into the center can and hot-glue on a covered button. So many fun possibilities! (PS with the way your scissors were acting on the fabric, might be time to sharpen 😁) (also, hassock is a real word, but autocorrect was determined to say it was a haddock hahahahaha 🐟 )
You have a pure spirit that attracts like spirited souls.
My mother-in-law made us one of these for us 56 years ago. She made it out of corduroy and it is still in good condition. We used it for footstool and booster seat for our 3 children. Now I want to make a few for my great grand kids. I love watching you and all of your content. I have learned so much.
I want to try this! Your's turned out beautiful! The pom pom trim added just the right touch fun and whimsy! I don't use a lot of canned items, so now I'm trying think of family or friends who might want to save their cans for me 😊 Thanks for always sharing your unique talent and this family heritage inspired craft!
***looking forward to the big news***
If you have a pizza / pasta restaurant near you, that makes their own sauce, you can call or stop in and ask them for their empty tomato cans.
@@jenjen7558 thank you, great suggestion!
@@conniegray3272 You're very welcome. (The guys at the pizza shop, that I love, have saved cans for me.) God bless their kind hearts.🕊🙏
Oh Mary…you are loved! You bring so much joy to my life. I love your crafts, upcycles, recipes and the kindness you bring to your videos. Today’s video was so my alley. My grandparents were immigrants from Norway. I’m 54 now and I really try to bring as many memories as I can from them into my boys lives and now my grandkids. This touched my heart and now I want to pick another thing from my Norwegian history as I can. Have always wanted to learn Hardanger and Rosemaling. We shall see. God Bless kiddo. 🤗
My grandmother had one
of those hassocks that she made.
What sweet memories.
Please do some more of the old fashioned things.....
We miss the good old days.
That's funny that you don't know why anyone would want to watch you! I love your channel, love your ideas, love your personality! Watching you has helped me to realize that a feminine lady can do so much that I used to think I was not capable of. You are an inspiration and I love watching your videos.
