Tidying Up in my Etsy Shop | Small Business Owner | Home Office | Sewing Closet
Переглядів 4811 місяців тому
I filmed this back in March and never got around to editing it.. better late than never, right?! This closet is huge, but served no function in our home so I decided to turn it into a home office/space to run my Etsy shop. I never really finished it before busy season took over and it quickly became a catch all so enjoy watching me tidy up and get things back in order. fourpawsandmeco.etsy.com

What size is the bandana?
I love you simple and to the point video! Thank you. I looked at 5 so far
I found your video and love it but I would like the sizing for different sizes. Your shop currently is on a break and therefore doesn't show me
So soothing watching you.❤
Hi, where in NJ are you? Can I buy milk from you? I really hate how cows are hooked up to machines and would love to be able find kinder milk.
Very nice. We just opened up a dog boarding facility. I would love to see more videos like that. Get some ideas. Thanks.
How are you ironing on a wooden table like that????
New Sub, thanks for sharing.
I’ve been searching for the best video for a pattern…and this is it!!! Thank you!!!😊
❤
New sub, thanks for sharing. Be blessed
You very hard to understand
Herzlichen Glückwunsch 🤗, einfach herrlich dem Mutter- Kind Glück zuzusehen 🫶. Alles Liebe und Gute für euch alle 💕🐾
What state are you in? We just AI’d our heifer and we are hoping for a September baby! We live in Michigan and I’m wondering what your experience has been so far of you are in a colder region? Some have said don’t calf In fall/winter and some have said it’s totally fine.
I’m in Indiana! So far, so good! I’ll have to do a video soon to introduce our heifer calf and talk about our experience so far. Also, Kate from @venisonfordinner is a great resource for all things dairy cows.. she’s in northern BC so it’s wayyyyyy colder there than the Midwest and she just had two calves in Sept/Oct and has been sharing quite a bit about them. I have learned a lot from her UA-cam channel and Instagram over the last couple years!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! My husband is a nurse and they use permanent markers and dry erase markers and when someone accidentally uses permanent on the white board they use rubbing alcohol and it comes right off. My grandparents were homesteaders and you might appreciate a milking stool for your milking pail. The 3 legs make it so if the cow steps forward or kicks she simply steps between the stool legs instead of into the pail and it's super low to keep the pail off the ground for easier cleaning and raise it up to the teats. Thank you for sharing your lovely cow and beautiful experience with us!!! ❤
wonderfull woman breeding lovely cow
good tap in kitchen
Your eggs are so clean. How do you clean them without washing them?
I try to keep our nesting boxes as clean as possible! I know I need to change out the bedding in them when I start getting dirty eggs.
I like these videos that are short and sweet... no farting around. Great video, thanks for the effort it is greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much!! That is my goal with these kind of videos. I appreciate you watching!
Lost a bit trying to hear what you were saying..you speak very quickly (or the recording is fast)..
Definitely a simple pattern....easy for beginners...but it would be good to slow down in your speaking....there were times that I could not understand you. Slow down and speak clearly.! thank you
Wow what a nice place. Lucky dogs that stay with you.
Thank you so much!!
Would you mind sharing the measurements for the different sizes? I would love to try this with my 14 year old daughter that has started her a pet craft booth. I think this is a super easy beginner project for her
Thank you! I offer 4 different size in my Etsy shop and have a sizing chart listed there. The measurements for my smallest size is a 7x7 and the largest is a 16x16 :) hope this helps!
Have you done the bow ties?
I have not. I prefer bandanas over bowties so for now that's all I've done, but maybe one day I will try them!
This has been the absolute best video I have seen on how to make bandanas. So simple and simply explained...Thank you
Thank you so much!! I like simple things :)
Lol I can’t believe you’re steaming on your wood table
Yes, find some batting and a piece of fabric and make a pressing mat.
😂😂😂😂
I don’t do this regularly lol it was just for this video because the table is unfinished
That's how I make mine....I add baking soda. I like using plant-based soaps & vary the scents.
I haven't ever added anything to scent mine. Do you use essential oils to do so?
@@macyakoon I use scented , plant-based soap 🧼. 🙂 There are so many wonderful scents to choose from!
What size dog does the 14 x14 fit? What size would you do for a xs, s, m, l and xl? Thanks I’m gonna try this
14x14 would probably be good on a large or extra large dog! I offer four sizes in my Etsy shop and have a size chart listed there. My largest starts out at 16x16 and will fit a great dane :)
Thanks for the video... I tried to click on your links but seems the ... doesn't allow the link to work.
Thanks for watching! Hmm. I will check it out.. you may just have to copy and paste them!
Any tips on sewing straight for a new (and I mean NEW) beginner. I literally just want to make bandanas and bows for my dog. 😂
GREAT video by the way! Thanks!
@@summerdavis3437 thank you so much!! I only started sewing at the beginning of last year... practice definitely helps lol but fabric pencils/markers/etc. could be helpful to you as well!
I am not sure when you ask this but get a piece of notebook paper that has lines on it and just practice sewing on the lines or geogle practice sewing sheets print and practice on them. This will help you learn to sew straight.
@@sandypoe1 use the presser foot to keep the edge of the fabric even as you are sewing. It is not that hard to see straight lines. It is trickier to sew curved lines. A little practice should make you a pro.
Love it :) I had a homebirth over two years ago but love your organisation ! Wishing you a peaceful birth :)
Thank you so much! I absolutely loved having a home birth <3
This was awesome thank you! I have been told to use iodine after milking. have you had any issues with mastitis not using it? thanks!!
Thank you!! We have never used iodine, but Darla’s previous owner did. We’ve never experienced any issues with mastitis though!.
Very nice
Just subscribed, videos are great. You seem a lot like me and my wife. The type that was homesteading even before homesteading was 😎 cool. You look like you got your stuff figured out keep it up. Good luck!
Thank you!! I really appreciate that. We actually just jumped right into homesteading last year, believe it or not!
Darla is a beautiful dairy cow! I have experience with dairy farming...well fed and taken care of. Is she a mid size Jersey? Beautiful markings...good luck with the homestead!
Thank you so much! I believe she is mid-sized, but she may be full-sized.. I don't remember for sure!
@@macyakoon Sounds great. Thanks.
I just subscribed to your channel. You have a great homestead. Keep up the great job and your video's!
Thank you!! So glad you're here!
I use a wet erase marker for jars and lids. They're perfect and only rub off when wet.
I didn’t realize those were such a thing.. I’ll definitely be giving them a try! Thanks for sharing :)
🐶oooooo🤣
Thank you! This is one of the best milking videos I’ve seen. Seeing it from your point of view is a great idea! Im going to start milking my lamancha goat for the first time and this gives me confidence in figuring it out 💪
Thank you so much! I'm so glad to hear it was helpful to you. Best of luck milking!!
Thank you 4 that keep it up and have a good day.choice
Can i post this Video on Twitter?
Good luck with your Channel
