    A Texan, here, and we have lovely Cardinals…but where I am from we lovingly call them “Red Birds”. They’re quite large birds, and I always love seeing them! We also have an occasional Blue Jay. One of my favorites is the Road Runner, which I hardly ever see anymore, but get so excited when I do! Also, a little tip…if you soak your dried-on paint brushes in rubbing alcohol for a few days, they will become as good as new. It dissolves the paint. Well, as long as the dried-on paint is acrylic. I’ve saved quite a few brushes that way. LOVE this episode! ❤️

    I have been estranged from my mother for nearly 4 years. I spent a lot of my adulthood crafting with her and they were my favourite memories. Watching this gives me comfort

    I live in the US and cardinals are believed to be loved ones who passed and have come back as to check on you.

      I was a caregiver for a sweet lady who had advanced dementia. She had a large picture window in her living room, and a cardinal appeared there nearly every single day, no matter the season. I was there for over a year, and he never failed to show up in all that time.
      I often wondered about the traditional belief and whether it was her mother or her only son, who was killed in a car accident at the age of 18.

    Yes! We have Cardinals in America, at least in the Northeast where I live. The tuft on top of their head is called a crest. Other crested birds in the US include Blue Jays and Cedar Waxwings. I'm sure there are more. It is said that if a Cardinal pays you a visit, it is the spirit of a passed loved one come to call.

    One of my favourite things to make with beads are potion bottles for a witch or wizard's cupboard. If you make 24th scale houses, they can look really good on a shelf, specially the see through ones. On larger scales, you have to be a bit more selective, though. You could probably make some Christmas tree strings with the seed beads.

      My house is in Spring Valley, MN where we have a museum dedicated to them. The Laura Ingalls Wilder Site museum with lots of artifacts from the time. "Laura Ingalls Wilder Site, on National Historic register, built in 1876. Two floors of exhibits including a Country Store and exhibit on Richard Sears of Sears & Roebuck fame. Washburn-Zittleman House Museum built in 1866. Features beautiful Victorian furnishings." My house was built prior to both of these places! It was built in 1855. Quite possibly the oldest structure still standing in town.

    Such lovely creations! What I wouldn't do to be able to sit there with you lovely ladies, chatting and creating. 🥰 A wonderful selection of little trinkets, exactly what I love crafting most. Just making what ever comes to mind. Looking at materials and old, thrifted, or found objects and let inspiration strike and lead in the moment. What bliss! I miss that soso much. I do hope my body will let me experience another craft session like this before I pass. I used to craft with my mother like this almost every weekend as a child, we would put on nature sound cds and sit at the dining table for a few hours together. It's incredible that those are the memories that come to mind first when I think of that time when really we were in a horrible situation with my very violent, alcoholic and drug addicted father who was doing everything he could to make my mother's life as miserable as possible. And yet she managed to keep so much of it away from me and make sweet memories like our craft dates for me to look back on instead. I am so thankful and in awe!❤

    🎉a handy tip for you I cut cocktail sticks and thread the beads I want I sand any excess at the bottom I use to hold whilst I'm gluing the beads onto each other. It gives more strength to the peices 😊
