Hi Karen..❤ from India...I don't have any knowledge about drawing but luv it...subscribed too
Hello! Thanks for the view and follow. This series is designed to be accessible, so hopefully you can learn and perhaps pick up a pencil or stylus, or if not - enjoy the vibes
Omg! Karen we have the same sketchbook! This was fabulous.
Oh, cute 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed this - more to come, of course!
Hi Karen, I just happen to have a print of a Ruskin watercolour in my art room. Thank you for the inspiration!
Excellent - it's nice to have "company" while working, in the form of art masters. Hopefully we all arrive at that point someday!
Lovely, Karen. Now I will have to tidy up my studio space! Glad to see that you have a little taste of nature outside your window in the midst of the city and company from Millie too.
Thanks, Cathy! A popular request, it seems, lol. I very much appreciate the nature here: trees and plants and wildlife (... from which Millie is safe inside).
Oooh, inspirational! I can just do things.... I can redecorate for the winter season...
Thanks - I say go for it, since we could all use some winter cheer!
Can you do my office? 😉🤩
Next time I'm home we'll do a touch-up! 😊
love this
Thank you! 🧙🏻♀️
Can't beat the stunning scenery for sure. Thanks for sharing your weekend in Banff, Karen!
You're welcome! Always a beautiful area to experience.
loved the vlog! <3 so satisfying to watch
Thank you! I enjoyed the process of putting it all together 😊
Loved this video! Always love to see Abhorsen series books out in the wild - probably my most beloved series.
Thank you. I agree - along with His Dark Materials, a highlight for "YA" before the genre was established!
Hi Karen, nice to see what you have done with your apartment. You can come organize all our books now! I love the bookshelves and the cabinet. BTW -- you have an original copy of "Masters of the Their Own Destiny" -- a very important book for the Antigonish movement. Save that one for sure!
Thanks! Masters... will be treasured, for sure. William likely picked it up because he recognized the topic.
My partner and I are working our way through all 150 squares of this book! We’ve made 38 so far, including the Chow Mein squares and Potato Chip Bars. It was fun to watch you make and try the squares! We had similar reactions. Nice to hear your friends liked the squares- we’ve been sharing with a lot of our pals too. Hope to see you make more soon! PS: highly recommend the Mystery Cake, Nutted Gumdrops, and Black Bottom Slice!
Oh, wow - I appreciate the ambition. I'll give your recommendations a try next time I bake, and plan to continue the series based on enthusiastic feedback! Thanks and enjoy the next round of squares out of the oven or fridge.
the "squares" promo to open the video is a 10/10 joke
Thanks - I'd had it in my mind for months!
Good job Karen great videos keep up the good work!
Much appreciated!
this is the best thing ever, i am truly transported
Thank you, Liam! The soundscape evokes a structure of feeling, so to say
Congrats Karen on you new UA-cam channel! Just caught up with it today. Hope your birthday yesterday was great!
Hi Cathy! Thank you for checking out the video. My birthday celebration was great too. More to come on this channel, especially as we head into my favourite season... autumn and all its coziness!
