      Don't be afraid to try things. Even if it doesn't turn out, you'll still learn new skills along the way. Before you know it, you'll be surprising yourself at what you are capable of :)

      hence the "little" part :P
      But joking aside, you don't know until you try. The "I like to challenge myself" motto works wonders for developing skills. Certainly compared to the "I'm convinced I can't do any of this and rather swoon at endless RUclips videos that prove it can be done" philosophy.
      One which I, sad to admit, also hold to too many times. The few times I didn't, I've actually brought a tear to my ówn eye out of accomplishment and much better than expected results.

Its great to see your gorgeous face and crafts without the strange gloss of commercialized TV production. Also - i feel like now you can get to do whatever you want without formatting it to some narrative.

      Having lived through the Stepford Wives decades and say, m'eh , but I see the attraction for the younger generations. I rocked the 20's to the 40's when I was in my youth. There was no goth back then. hahaha

      There’s a retired line of very romantic, frilly clothing that used to be carried at malls designed by Jessica McClintock (do Scottish women just know more about romantic clothing?). It was called Gunne Sax. They were gorgeous and very similar to the style Christine favors, and you can still find them in vintage clothing stores, but be prepared to pay dearly - a lot of modern women have fallen in love with them, too. A note of interest: Hillary Clinton wore a Gunne Sax dress for her wedding.

    Everything about Christine is downright amazing, but my favorite thing is when her voice breaks just a tiny bit. It's soooo cute! She just seems cool, talented, quirky and yet still down-to-earth, so I think she's a great role model for all us spooky types. She proves you don't have to wear all black or be mean to be a darkly whimsical icon! Even though I liked the puppets and the costumes on Netflix, I think she really shines brightest as the only star of the show. So glad to see our favorite artist on youtube!

    Honestly, I think Netflix wouldn't have put forth this kind of content. They had her being more of a Gothic Martha Stewart. But here, she can actually show her talents and abilities. This video is what makes RUclips worthy of watching. I'm here for it and I will stay for it! 💜

    Christine is the perfect example of the fact that you don't have to "look goth" or align with "traditional goth look" to be goth, and to be spook. She wears gorgeous bright vintage clothing, and still has major spook cred 😍🖤🖤🖤🖤

    • @avsusky
      @avsusky 5 лет назад +37

      I thought the netflix show was fun but I ultimatley agree that this is better. Its way more focus on the actual craft and its cool to see what I assume is her house. I think she kept some of that whimsy with her intro, her adorable pets and the gag about camera man. If she can keep a sprinkeling of that this will be the best of both worlds.

    • @boomchicaboomboom
      @boomchicaboomboom 5 лет назад +22

      I have to say the Jim Henson puppets were cute, but the storyline did have me cringeing more than once. It was kind of predictable and too kiddy for adults. I think her talent to create is the real star and she doesn't need the cheesy storylines and puppets to keep people entertained.

    • @monkiram
      @monkiram 5 лет назад +4

      I loved that the Netflix show had storylines, but it was kind of cringey sometimes, especially the puppets' banter, it did feel like humour directed mostly to kids. I enjoyed when she had guests, I think she could incorporate that aspect into the RUclips series, in a less scripted way.

    Watching this I was like "She talented and she can reupholster in stylish flats. She is amazing. Couch looks great!" She starts adding wooden carved snakes to the edges. "Shes a Witch! No one can be that good!!!" I am so glad I found your channel. You have a home esthetic that I love. Reminds me of the home from Sabrina.
