Dear sweet Sherry, I have already forgiven you for presenting me with the problem of trying to decide which of your projects I love best. I know you just didn't consider how hard that would be for someone like me! LOL!!! I have decided that, if I believed in reincarnation (which I don't), I would come back as you! I cannot imagine how your mind continuously works! Anyway, anything you added birds to would be at the top of any list of mine! I hope you and yours have a wonderfully blessed and happy Christmas!!!!
I do believe in reincarnation, so I will come back as Sherry. 😊❤
Thank you! You are so sweet! Sharon, I do believe you love birds as much as I do! 😊
I love the cleverness and craftiness behind all the projects! You have such great ideas whether the product is popular or not. It’s too hard to pick just one! I love the birds, so, the clock with the attached frame and bird inside is my choice.
Thank you for all you do ,♥️.
Happy New Year to the Queen of Decordom!
I wish my brain could see a 1/4 of what your brain sees. lol. I never stop being amazed by everything you do. Thank you sweet Sherry for sharing your talents with us. God bless you in everything you do. Love you my Sweet Sister in Christ from Alabama.
I can't believe all the work you put into the pleated lampshades--and how well they came out! i also loved the decoupaged blue and white lamp! As a dollhouse lover, I loved your book nook! I do a lot of scrapcrafting and smiled at your ingenuity! I think the blue grandfather clock/bookcase was the best!
I love your projects with bits of nature. I admire and appreciate your willingness to try anything that comes to mind and then showing the end results. Even the "oops!". That gives the rest of us the courage to be as daring as you. Keep leading, Sherry! ~Kathy
Sherry, the clock transformations are some of my all time favorite projects of yours! I love watching the sweet, adorable vignettes that you create inside of gutted out clocks! Whether they be filled with bunnies and birds or winter woodland creatures in a snowy forest! In fact, I'd love it so much if you would consider dedicating an entire video to creating new ones sometime in the coming months!
Thank you so much! I am writing this idea down. I would really enjoy doing an entire video of clock projects!
Girl, you know we cannot have just one favorite! You'd be hard pressed to find anything that I'd consider a "flop", you're the best! Much love from California ❤
I always love the ones you do using old clocks. X
Thank you, Kim! Clocks are definitely one of my favorites, too!
I am astonished that you were able to do ANYthing with that ugly faux spoon! 😂 It’s not really my style, but it’s actually cute, which I never would have believed possible.
As others have said, your creativity is off the charts. It’s a pleasure to watch how your mind works! So refreshing after oceans of the same old projects with pool noodles and buffalo plaid black and white ribbon. 😂
Oh, thank you so much, Dawn! I know what you mean about the pool noodles-they are everywhere! Do you think Dollar Tree knows why they sell so many?!
Absolutely love how wonderfully your mind sees so many possibilities in ordinary items. You are truly amazing!
Thank you so much, Valerie!☺️
They are all remarkable, but I am most drawn to: 1) rabbit garden stake with its lovely patina hue, 2) dresser transformation into the kitchen hutch was so beautiful and practical, 3) the decoupage lamp with the delft-style napkin. Wonderful! Looking forward to seeing your continued projects in 2024!
Thanks so much, Vicki!
May your Christmas be filled with the warmth of fireplaces, the sweetness of treats, and the joy of good company. Merry Christmas!
Oh how I love the last project, the clock. Before our move, my husband convinced me to put a number of items at the end of our driveway for others to take and one of those items was a clock like yours. Well, the Lord had blessed me with other wonderful treasures that your channel has renewed my creativity. Thank you!
ALL of your projects are HUGE winners (well except for the relief butterflies, of course, which only reassures me that you are human just like us!). I must say that while the tiny pumpkin was probably the smallest and perhaps simplest project, I really loved it. The pearls were such a sweet little touch.
Keep up the good work. I love it ALL. ❤
My favorite DIY for 2023 was the Lamps. the white and blue tissue paper, and glass one. But I also loved the pleated lamp shade.
The grandfather clock is my favourite, it’s a fantastic way of repurposing these items.
Man, it’s tough because they are all good. That grandfather clock though… whole other level of epic.
Oh my goodness you are an incredible artist. You see things that others don't see and that's what makes it so fun to watch you work. I think to myself I would have never thought of that but she did and wow the end result is amazing
So clever and such imagination. I'm in awe of people with creative brains!
The grandfather clock for sure gets #1. #2 for me are the no-sew fabric lamp shades and #3 is the decoupaged blue & white lamp base...I'm a blue and white girl. Truth is I also picked out 5 other projects along the way. I never miss your Monday release to see what you've come up with this time. You have made 2023 a very crafty time for me and I'm look forward to all you have in 2024. Have a great Christmas and many blessings in the New Year!
That grandfather clock is beautiful!
Sherry you have the most wonderful creative mind I love all your flips, one of a kind fabulous. 🤗😊
I absolutely love the grandfather clock but my favorite was the repurposed pumpkin. The fact that you used a spool of thread and had the bird holding the end was adorable.
My vote for #1 is the grandfather clock. Thanks for sharing.
May your Christmas be filled with the warmth of fireplaces, the sweetness of treats, and the joy of good company. Merry Christmas!
The clock with the bird needed a small dim light inside to illuminate the background photo. Like a night light, that would look so cute at night!
So many beautiful creations- but by far the most unique furniture transformation was turning the grandfather clock into a bookshelf - beautiful and ingenious!
The lamp that has decoupaged blu and white napkin my absolute favorite! I also loved the dresser! Too many ❤ your imagination
Thank you so much!
That clock - book shelf! Stunning!
I love the grand father clock. ❤😊🎉
Sending you warm Christmas wishes and hoping your holidays are filled with laughter, good food, and the company of loved ones. Merry Christmas!
Absolutely impossible for me to pick a favorite. With each project, it became my favorite. You inspire me.
Oh, thank you, Paula!
I loved seeing all of these projects compiled into one video. I think if I had to choose a favorite, it would be the bookstand. I am determined to attempt to make one myself!
There were so many projects in this video I loved Sherry. But if you want us to pick one as our favorite, I pick the Grandfather style clock you found at the side of the road and made over. So beautiful. But I'm adding the Mackenzie Childs rabbit totem as my second place project and the Book Nook as my third. At least I have to give them honorable mention as I liked them so much. 😊
May your Christmas be filled with the warmth of fireplaces, the sweetness of treats, and the joy of good company. Merry Christmas!
Yes! The dictionary lamp is my favorite❤❤❤
Wonderful to see all these great projects again. Could please do some more like the Sleepy Hollow picture but with different themes like Christmas, winter, spring, fall etc?
Great idea! I’ll have to think of a good story/poem for winter!
Oh my goodness, it’s just too hard to pick just one. I loved so many of them. That adorable little “Book Nook” was one of the top contenders. The Book Sconce was right there too! The book stand!! Argh I’m a book person!
Sherry, what a wonderful idea to do the best and worst compilation video!I was remembering and smiling the entire time. You are so honest and admit when you feel like a project has flopped. Looking forward to your creativeness for yet another year. Here’s hoping you and your family have a wonderful holiday season.
Love the William Morris dresser, the book lamp the clear lamp, the bird clock also crazy about the pumpkin 😜
I like the book stand with spindle base. So classically beautiful
The large clock transformation.
Without a doubt the grandfather clock was a masterpiece of which you should be very proud. well done!!!!
I love the cutting board and bowl, but I also loved the blue and white lamp and shade. I will definitely be using both in my home!
Pick 1?? HA! William Morris makeover for your kitchen, grandfather clock book case, book wall sconce... okay this list could go on! Your endless AMAZING creativity has me in awe Sherry. Thank you so much for sharing yourself with us! ❤🎉Merry Christmas AND
🎉Happy New Year🎉❤
I’m always excited for you to post. This is a great review. I enjoyed watching them again.
Just when I think I have a favorite project, I see the next one aaannnd that one becomes my favorite, so its safe to say I love them all! I can't wait to see what you have in store for us in the upcoming year.
No 1 the William Morris chest of drawers No 2 the rabbit garden totem. Keep on crafting.
Hi Sherry,
What a wonderful video with all your talented treasures ❤
The grandfather clock shelf was truly amazing ❣️
My top three are the bunny totem, lamp cloche, and the blue white lamp. All of our projects are so creative and pretty it is really hard to chose. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Number one is hands down the grandfather clock.
That's hard to get to one project cuz there all great but the jewelry box and wall clock and the dresser are all tops
Can’t believe another year is ending! All your projects are very creative,
The grandfather clock transformation is definitely my favorite but I don’t expect to find one on the side of the road. lol. I’ll have a much better chance with the cutting board/ bowls. What a great idea and you can always find those at thrift stores. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Can’t wait to see what you do in 2024. Merry Christmas 🎄
The grandfather clock makeover is absolutely my favorite! I had forgotten about this project!
The bunny tote and the lamp cloche were my favorites. Thank you so much for your wonderful creations.
The grandfather clock was a terrific transformation. I really liked the cutting board/bowl and third the pleated lamp shades. Here's to a prosperous and happy 2024!
It’s always difficult to choose a favorite from your projects. The glass cloche lamp, the jewelry box terrarium, the blue & white pleated lamp shade and the blue & white lamp are all favorites. But the grandfather clock bookcase is unquestionably my very favorite. Thanks for the memories! 💝
Thank you so much, Julia! Happy new year!
Our Dear Ms. Sherry: A very Merrie Christmas to you and yours, and a Blessed New Year! Thanks for all you do!❤💚❤💚 I liked the rabbit totem best!
Thank you so much! Same to you!
Amazing as always. Number 1 for me would be the clock. The shelves and the styling was next level.
I absolutely love the grandfather clock and the small clock.
My favorite project is the Library Book Lamp made from an old dictionary. I love it so much. I actually love all of your projects; however, anything book related is what steals my heart! ❤️
Sherry, once more you have outdone yourself in showing 2023 projects that you have done, including a couple that were not particularly successful which is both brave and generous and just so you. I have to say once more all the lamps, but particularly the cloche lamp as you can bring in the changes of the seasons with it. My number one must be the large grandfather clock turned into a shelving unit as my favourites. I so look forward to sharing my Tuesday evenings with you while I watch you once more produce wonderful items in your weekly projects. Week after week you continue to astound me with your imagination and generosity in sharing it with us. Look forward to 2024. I wish you a wonderful filled Christmas and magical joy filled 2024.
The grand clock is so BEAUTIFUL!
I vote for the wreath with the eggs and feathers. So many pretty ones!
I can’t choose just one! My favorites are the bunny tower and the grapevine wreath with speckled eggs. The grandfather clock is stunning too. They are all unique, creative and lovely. Your creativity is amazing.
The Grandfather clock is my favorite in this video. I truly enjoy all of your clock projects.
Best wishes for Christmas! Definitely the drawer/dresser with William Morris print should come first, with rabbit totem second. Lots of projects tie for third place - wooden spoon conversion, lamp base, and of course the grandfather clock. Seemingly most time consuming - though really pretty result - has to be the pleated lampshade! Keep up the good work😊
Oh, thank you! That lamp shade did take a minute-mostly just cutting the fabric strips, but still easier than sewing a pleated lampshade!
My favourite pieces were the string of wooden bunting and the William Morris cabinet. Just lovely 🤩 xx
Oh my goodness - I love so many of these redo's. I love the lamp with the blue onion napkin. I love the grandfather clock. I love the dictionary lamp. I love them all! Thank you for these videos.
Thanks for refreshing our memories on these great projects. Watching your videos was a good source of inspiration for me all year! The grandfather clock gets my vote.
Sherry, I like seeing the flops. It helps me see that not every project is successful and fails happen. You have so improved my crafting and thrifting in 2023. I look forward to more. Happy 2024!
I loved the grandfather clock. The pleated lamp shade! My favorite was the decoupaged lamp. Truly you are an artist!
The grandfather clock and the blue and white napkin lamp are my favorites. Just beautiful.
Thank you!
My favorite was the wteath of eggs and feathers, but I am bound to day I was impressed with all of the projects.
The Grandfather clock at the end was my favorite.
The Grandfather Clock book shelf is the winner!
My favorites...hands down...the dresser and the clock. I really wish I had your vision when it comes to repurposing. Most times all I see is junk. You see a world of possibilities.
The Grandfather clock was number one in my opinion! loved.
I liked them all. Hands down the grandfather clock is my favorite.
The dictionary sconce was my top favorite. Although the grandfather clock turned into a curio shelf was such a transformation, I thought it could have been put back to its old glory. But then again, it's just my personal opinion, 'cause I love clocks.
Love the rabbit stand, dresser and the book lamp.
You sure do make things hard for your viewers! I absolutely cannot pick just one project! Each one is great in and of itself. Oh, how I wish I had your room and stash! The one project that I really liked and thought I could do is the book lamp. What a unique idea! Can't wait to see what you come up with in 2024! Thanks so much for great content!
So many awesome projects! My favorites though have to be, in no particular order, the adorable seed packet garland, made that for my mom for mother's day 😊, the bunny garden totem, the book stand, the grandfather clock, and the book nook! Being an English major and fellow bibliophile I love when you do literature projects Sherry! Thank you for your inspiring videos and I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and blessed New Year! With kind regards from Michigan!
Good afternoon, Sherry! Thank you for sharing this year's best diys. Your creativity is such an inspiration for my own diys. I wish you a wonderful Christmas and continued success on your channel in 2024. ❤, Bobbie. xoxo
Good afternoon, Bobbie! I can’t believe that I will be starting my third year on RUclips this February. Time really does fly. Hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas and happy new year!
I have to say the wall clock you converted to a book case. It was beautiful!! My number two was the blue and white decoupage lamp!!
🪔I love the clear lamp with the books inside it..wow!!...One of a kind...You went the extra mile when you put the red thread in the birds mouth...oh my♥♥
Because I ❤ all things vintage, the vintage jewelry box with the faux bird nest first caught my eye. I prefer the green painted wood without the white wax, but probably would use gold wax to highlight some areas.
The 'book sconce' is really cool.😊 I ❤ how you use bird nests in your projects, I sometimes go out in the field to retrieve a few tiny nests in the thicket to use in my projects. The large spoon made into a frame is a really neat idea! 😊 Actually, I love all of your projects and I can't pick a favourite because there is never a shortage of cool decor ideas from your videos!❤😅😊
Definitely the grandfather clock. How incredible!!
My favorite was the cloche lamp. 👍
I love the terrarium jewelry box, the rabbit totem and sleepy hollow poem but with a sweeter poem. Merry Christmas & thank you for all you share with us. I really like the seed packet garland, as well.
Oh, thank you! 😊
I think you should have been an art teacher instead of English, Lol!! I really love them all, but the grandfather clock was really amazing!! ❤
My favorite one has always been the rabbit on the candle stick that you placed on your porch.
The clock is my favorite.
Grandfather clock perfect
Sending you warm Christmas wishes and hoping your holidays are filled with laughter, good food, and the company of loved ones. Merry Christmas!
Hello Sherry, I know it not 2023 but as I Love Everything you do! On this Video! My favorite is the Grandfather Clock! Love it!❤❤🐶🐱
I really like the cutting board/ bowl project. I enjoy watching you create, even though most of the creations are not my style.
Love them all. But my No. 1 is the clock.
Sending you warm Christmas wishes and hoping your holidays are filled with laughter, good food, and the company of loved ones. Merry Christmas!
😅Grandfather clock gets my vote !m
Sending you warm Christmas wishes and hoping your holidays are filled with laughter, good food, and the company of loved ones. Merry Christmas!
They were all great, but the clock is my favorite.
My fav is the bunny totem. 😊
May your Christmas be filled with the warmth of fireplaces, the sweetness of treats, and the joy of good company. Merry Christmas!
I’ve loved the grandfather clock since first seeing you do the full makeover! It was so fun to see all 20 of these projects.
They are all so great! But I think I'll vote for the grandfather clock.
The Grandfather Clock! From Sparks ,Nevada
My favorite is the bunny post. Thank you, Sherry. Merry Christmas to you & yours!
I love the Grandfather clock
