    I really enjoyed watching what life is like outside your sewing station and seeing 'outside the box' so to speak. Funny you said not many customers on Fridays and it starts with a family browsing before you're even open and it didnt stop 😂 I think they knew you had the camera running 😘 Loved the lake ,,, how lucky are you! Its just beautiful ❤ Thank you for sharing x

    Reminds me of when I had my bric-a-brac shop. I also sold second hand clothes and people would look for something to change into fancy dress. So with my sewing machine I started making outfits and I managed to make a small income from hiring out the costumes 🤠🥳🤡 It was a struggle some weeks but I plodded on as I was buying the shop. Happy days and like yourselves, chatting with customers. I wish we had the internet then and seeing all the wonderful sewing tutorials, of things I could make to sell. As I lived above the shop there was no travelling to work. After 10 years I sold the shop which helped me buy my house and mortgage now fully paid, hurrah 😁 It was lovely seeing a day of what you both get up to 😍 All the best for 2024

I live by a bunch of lakes here in the U.S. And, until today, the only Australian race horse I knew was Phar Lap. So I enjoyed seeing Black Caviar. Lovely statue.

    Thank you for sharing your day with us! Reminds me of my childhood. I grew up in a small town, and my Grandfather established a “general store” that carried most necessities for rural life at the time. There were kegs of nails, work boots and work clothes for farmers, fertilizer, good quality paint. I remember when the store carried large wheels of cheese and you could have them cut off whatever size piece you wanted to buy. There were also some cuts of fabric, and plenty of notions…thread, zippers, sewing machine needles, etc. As time went on and my parents ran the store, there were more gift items. It felt like your shop. People were always coming by to get a spool of thread and staying to talk, and there was frequently someone playing checkers with my grandfather by the stove where it was cozy.

    I found your videos about a month ago. I'm slowing down after 20+ years of doing craft shows. Your openness about products, pricing and how to make beautiful gifts is so appreciated. I was making reversible aprons with bibs and pockets for each side and it took a long time for each one, and I never knew how to price anything. There really wasn't a plan, just whatever interested me at the time. You have a video I want to re-watch on pricing. Your streamlining has helped me rethink what I am sewing too. I want to become more efficient and still have lovely things to offer for sale. I too have been very fortunate with occasional donated fabric. I don't have much upholstery, but a nice selection of cotton, and denim. Your lake is lovely. It looks warmer than ours. Here in Alaska, ours is frozen. Your sharing of self has made me feel like part of your family. Thank you

    Thanks for the tour. When my husband graduated college(engineering) Australia was our destination. Of course we never made it. Lol. I appreciate how you take time out from your busy day for tutorials. I have learned so much.

    How fabulous to see a day in the life.
    And I look forward to popping in when my crafting friend from USA is here and we do a road trip up from Melbourne to NSW.
    Thanks Christine.
