    Two good things always happen for us on Wednesdays. Bible study and Mary's new video! We love them both.

      When it comes to buying second-hand items, I worry about its authenticity, especially now 😅 so I try to be more cautious when investing. I went to *hotdups* and really enjoyed the experience. Planning to go again in the future.

    Oh Mary!!! Each of these projects spoke to my heart.. they were all absolutely gorgeous!
    I always feel so grounded when watching your videos… completely at peace. I think it’s a combination of you being so calm, so real, making things look so smooth, easy and flawless and the music is a perfect accompaniment to the videos.
    I admire you so much. Thank you for being so gracious as to share your creations. Always feel so inspired after watching. And thank you for bringing peace in this crazy world
    Hugs,
    Ruth

      Nice transformation of your methods : Do u sell these at your market table ?
      Suggestion : The crate with Christmas deco red showing thru ? Can bé resolved next time by trying an undercoat White primer ? Have u ever tried ‘PRIMING ‘ your pieces first with White ?
      Good to see you use helpful tools like Brad Nailer , bag sander and sprayer . Did u already ha e these or ha e ro buy them ? That Làser machine must of cost 6 k ?

      I was lucky enough to buy a *hotdups* bag that I love. I understand how you feel. I personally think that the packaging should be enough to protect the items inside, whether it is made by Dior or a cheap item from a discount store! Thanks for the video

    You took ordinary things that would be overlooked at a thrift shop, and made them so lovely - I especially like how you've chosen to carry the decal transfers around the edges of the items - so creative. Look forward to the armoire makeover!

    I'm sayin' what every DIYer is thinkin': We love your projects and we are grateful you show "how" to complete projects using fast-forward filming. Those craft shows filming every step at regular speed drive.me.insane. Especially, the painted concrete videos. It's like waiting for Christ's second coming! So, thank you for putting out quality content that also uses time efficiently.

  • @stacyjones9575
    @stacyjones9575 4 месяца назад +11

    Love watching you go thru "phases " in your creativity. Been following you for a long time and you've cost me lots of money buying gadgets like you have and supplies, but it's been fun. The icing on the cake is our shared love of Christ. Thank you Mary.

    Hi Mary,
    These videos are some of my favorite done by you because I have so many little items in my on house that need new life and these videos are such an inspiration! Thank-you. Also, I would love a tutorial video on the engraver, I don’t have any plans to purchase one at this time, but I would love to see the work involved with setting it up with art work and some of the tricks to making the engraving come out!

  • @kristinbrown5683

    That wood platter and little cutter/spreaders is my favorite. It came out great.

  • @CrazyCrafter-le9ge
    @CrazyCrafter-le9ge 3 месяца назад

    First, these items are beautiful. Second, I know you do not drink or believe in its use, but sometimes you can get wine crates that expensive wines come shipped in. They are sturdy and have sliding tops. I took one, drilled some holes to attach handles, stained the wood, and added some artwork. I use it for making Christmas Eve boxes and/or also keeping picnic stuff in. It keeps the picnic stuff clean, easy to move around, and store. For the Christmas Eve boxes, I make them for families with handmade keepsakes, etc. They could also be used for housewarming gifts, filled with personalized items.
    I hate seeing good wood or wooden items going to waste.

  • @PK-bh1ww
    @PK-bh1ww 4 месяца назад +5

    @maryndalassas 4 месяца назад

    First of all, LOVE your videos. You always motivate me.
    Second, on that toolbox that kept bleeding through, I don't know if you've ever tried this, but you can put a clear coat over it. Let it dry, and you should be able to paint over it again without it bleeding through.

    @terilynn5525 4 месяца назад

    Mary,love your videos and I am obsessed with Ohio and Indiana being from Arizona. My husband’s family lives their and Michigan.
    I just wanted to mention and I can’t remember if I’ve seen you do this before, but with the darker woods, it’s the tannins that bleed through a shellac based spray paint or primer should do the trick and take care of the bleed through. 😉 I’m a fan forever in all the videos you do from DIYs, thrifting, design to gardening!

  • @peterwhite9261
    @peterwhite9261 4 месяца назад

    They are all so nice. I love the cheese board set and the floral tray. I can see the floral tray in a b & b. Fancy tea service for two, maybe. Guys, the prices are awesome. I would buy if I wasn't poor!😢
    Mary, I love everything you did. Thanks for tips along the way.
    Best wishes to you all.❤

Suffice to say, ive spent the last three days cleaning ny house (its literally the sparkly one as you fly across the UK!) cleaning things ive never cleaned, and gardening (literally the nicest garden as you fly over 😂)....i guess tomorrow im going to be headed to a thrift shop....

    Mary I absolutely adore you. I may have said that to you in a previous comment however, your creativity is endless as is your humility. It is a joy watching you do "your thing"! You always inspire great ideas, but the one thing I just love is your ability to utilize every power tool available. It gives me aspirations to keep playing around with those. I don't mind asking my husband to help but it is more empowering to just do it when you need it done!!
    Beautiful outcomes today as always. I will definitely utilize your suggestions and look into all of your Etsy friends. You are a spiritually beautiful person. Patty k.

    Loved all the pieces you upcycyled. The transfers and etching just brought them all to life. Beautiful items. TFS ❤😊
