Today we revisit our best finds and set the mood for relaxation! To help that along, we have included a longer than ever jewellery making section and an extended section where we stop talking, we turn the music off and let the ocean be heard in all its beauty!
Please let us know what you think of these changes in comments... we will adjust the Sunday videos over the next week or two, until we are sure things are where they belong.
We hope you enjoyed today's video... Thank you so much!

So relaxing, perfect for a Sunday evening wind down. Never get bored of the sound of waves on the beach 🙂
Its such a good sound! Thank you so much - so glad to hear you say it's relaxing! We have a new channel coming in a few weeks and it will be focused on natures sounds and relaxation. :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Loved this! Nicole, you are an artist, and your jewelry pieces are amazing! It’s so interesting to watch you craft them. The interlude by the sea, with the incredible beauty and the soothing sounds was wonderful! Thanks so much for taking us with you. Stay well! 🙏❤️
We are so glad you enjoyed this - thank you so much! We have lots more crafting ideas and videos planned for Sundays! The time by the sea section will get shorter, but, we have a new channel coming in a week or two and that will be long sections of time with natures sounds and sights! Thank you so much! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
@@scottishmudlarking I enjoyed every bit of the time by the sea! It’s so peaceful and lovely!

Love the sound of the waves
We aim to have the new channel ready in the next week or two... its all about the waves and the relaxing sounds in the places we go to! :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
great vid guys really enjoyed
watching it thanks you guys can really finds into beautifully made items
Thanks so much Danny!! So glad you enjoyed the video and jewellery making :)
@@scottishmudlarking changed my life for the better I was going down the wrong path robbing banks ect and then at Blackpool on the beach seen a pebble or two said to myself I could do something with these little fellas
Loved the last part of the video 🌹
Thanks so much Maria :) That's really great feedback - we'll keep the waves coming!
Hi hi from Johannesburg south Africa. Love the Jewelry you make from the stones.
Hi from Fife, Scotland! Thank you so much! That's very kind, they worked out really nice, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
I’m mesmerized by the sound of the ocean and beauty of all the water lapped rocks……Gorgeous 🙏❤️
So glad you enjoyed it... We are about to launch a second channel and it will be devoted to the sights and sounds of the places we visit, so there will be a lot more of it coming very soon! :D
Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
I totally enjoy this new format of your videos, especially with Sunday's being relaxation-focused. Love the hag stone necklace, what a fun and whimsical idea. :-)
Thanks ever so much! We are so happy to hear that Mirkatu :) New format - Friday Beachtime, Sunday Crafting and Jewellery making and extra beachtime ... Goodness, it took us ten years to find a beach with hagstones ;) we were so chuffed! Glad you like the necklace...
I did enjoy the video, but personally I found the relaxing sea too relaxing and started dozing off to the sound of the waves and we can’t have that can we 😉really enjoy the jewellery making x
Thank you so much! Haha!! We might have to call this series 'Sit back'n'snooze Sundays'! :D We plan to open up the new channel in the next few weeks - it will feature a lot more of the snoozy stuff! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
What a lovely video of the sea lapping on the shore of my favourite places of all Scotland and the jewellery making , nicole you are so clever and make it look so easy and how fantastic they look when finished, look forward to Craig telling us about hag stones on the Friday video, thanks again for the lovely video x
Thank you so much! Very kind - glad you enjoyed the sounds of the sea too! We will do a lot more of that on the new channel we should be launching in a few weeks. :D The info on the hag stones is in our Fri 13th Video! :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Beautiful jewelry, beautiful film. Two artists in your own right. No wonder yall got together.
That's lovely, thank you so much! :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
because of the lockdown I can't go anyway, thanks for the wave sound it was so relaxing
Thanks so much Eswary! So glad we transported you along to the beach , even just virtually :) Very glad you enjoyed the video....
I have been making jewelry for years and ruined my nails and made my fingers sore, closing jump rings. I am glad I watched this. I am going to order me one so I don't abuse my fingers anymore.
Oh no!! That's awful, those little rings really rip up fingernails! The item is called a 'jump ring opener', we have a link in the description, but you can find them easily on on auction sites and the like! :D
Thank you co much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Love the jewelry making and the sound of the waves. Thank you, take care.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much! There will be a bit more craft/jewellery and less waves in the next video, but if you really enjoy the sounds of nature, we plan to launch a new channel hosting that in a few weeks! :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Lovely.
Thank you so much! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Love the roundup and of course the jewelry designs. Waves are so relaxing and the scenery makes me almost feel the sand between my toes.
Aww thanks so much Gerry! So glad the video transported you to the beach , exactly what we are hoping :) Thanks so much for the feedback!
Love this format.
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it! :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
* Love to watch you find & use your Stones, glass, & Shells. So creative..
Thanks so much Leslye! Very kind of you to say, glad you enjoyed the video :)
So exciting to see Nicole at her best designing beautiful jewellery made from past history 😍 just in awe of her work. I adore the pieces I have and feel like I'm queen bee 🐝 when I were them love ❤ and huggles Alex xxx
So very kind, thank you so much! Lots more to come - next week, its just jewellery making on Sunday... we're moving a few things around until it settles! :D Much love to you and yours - and thank you so much for everything! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Yes, more crafting videos as well as the usual mudlarking ones please!
So glad you are enjoying them! Every Sunday! :D Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Two videos in one week from Scottish Mud larking. I like it! Enjoyed the walk along the beach and the waves rolling in.
Very pretty jewelry Nicole.
Thank you so much! So glad you like the idea! We thought our Friday videos were getting a little busy, and we also wanted to let the craft/jewellery sections breathe a wee bit! We also plan a new channel coming soon, with more beach/river/sounds of nature to help bring a wee bit of calm into the world! :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
What a pleasant time to spend with you both. Loved the beach time.
Aww! That's really lovely! Thank you so much! Much more beach time planned for the new channel - should be ready to launch in a week or two! :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
The crafting sections are always inspiring viewing for us. Great idea to calve them off to a separate vid, or channel, so they don't have to be edited down to fit your usual timeframes. We think they deserve a bit more air. And the sights and sounds of the beach section was awesome. So relaxing. Maybe a 5-7 min stand alone vid of that on a regular basis would be well appreciated by your viewers. Things like that are especially valuable in these tough times....Great work guys, keep filming and posting, we love it.
Thanks ever so much! We are planning on opening a new channel with just relaxing content :) Great feedback , really helpful and encouraging... Glad you enjoy all elements, we are going to have more varied crafts in our future videos... some jewellery and some craft projects! Take care in OZ , Nicole & Craig
Lovely sea-sounds..lovely jewelry....thanks for showing..
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it! :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
I really love this video!
The jewellery that Nicole makes (never knew it takes 10 minutes to drill a pebble) is gorgeous! 😍 It amazes me every time what you make with your finds!
And the sound of the sea is never boring! So the long "beach time" on this video is a real plus.
I found it quite astonishing that it was so quiet on the beach. Only the sound of the sea, no screaming seagulls. Here in the Netherlands, you can hear them all the time when you're at the sea.
Thank you for this second video, hope it's a keeper. 😉
Wishing you both a wonderful week. ❤
Thanks ever so much Ilona! Pebbles drill at different times, the little quartz pieces took forever ;) The seagulls here are usually quite noisy, I love their sound - having grown up in land, sea gulls always make me think I am on holiday and by the beach! The new format will be, Friday Beach and Collecting and the Sunday's Crafting and jewellery making and extra beach time :) Have a lovely week, Nicole & Craig
Thank you for showing the jewellery making, I’m looking forward to seeing more.
So glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much! We plan on a new video of this sort, to accompany the Friday collecting and history videos, each Sunday from now on! :D Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Congratulations I really loved this video. Well done with the jewellery segment, great camera shots on close up when Nicole is being so creative making those beautiful pieces. Lastly the sounds of the sea and the scenery was so relaxing and peaceful. This video was just the right combination and I look forward to your next video, take care ❤️🇦🇺🐨 xxx
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it! We will be sticking with a format very similar to this - craft/jewellery making and a wee extended moment of chill time! Great to get feedback on it! Thank you so much! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Lovely and informative! Nice to watch an artist at work. Suzy AZ USA
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it... We'll make wee adjustments over the next few weeks - but, the main aim is relaxation for the Sunday video! :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Love the relaxing minutes at the end. Your jewelry crafting is beautiful as always. May God Bless You Both. Can't help but think of this Quote when I think of the two of you "All the Lovely People, Where Do They All Come From?" of course that is a Beatles quote. Peace.
Thanks so much Mars! We are so happy to hear you are enjoying the minutes of peace, we'll keep them coming :) Very kind of you .... all the lovely people - I have that amazing Beatles song in my head now xo
I just loved this video, the jewellery making but also the beach and wave scenes , you could almost dip your toe in the water well done x
Absolutely lovely to hear Laura :) We are very happy you were almost there with us !!!
Beautiful video....I could listen to the waves all day long 😴😴😴 x
Haha!! Its such a lovely, soothing, sound!
Your wish is our command... the new channel will be up and running in a week or two and it going to be all about the sounds and sights of the places we visit - so lots more of this to come! :D
Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
LOVE, LOVE, LOVED IT! 💖💖
I felt like I actually walked on the beach! 😎 Calmness with creativity and beauty. Perfect. Love the jewelry Nicole. Perfect touch of music.
BTW…I had to have the tiny blue bead. It’s going on my charm bracelet. It’s travelled the oceans! 💙
That's awesome and it really lifts the heart! Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! I was a wee bit concerned when we said no music!! haha! We WILL have music on the Sunday craft/jewellery making videos, but not over the sounds of the places we visit... The new channel - should be up in a week or two - is all about the places and their sounds, we take a back seat to give you as much of the place we can! :D
So happy to know the wee blue bead will be with you! :D
Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Beautiful video. Yes more of the same please. Love the jewellery Nicole 😊❤
Thanks ever so much Lynn! So glad you are enjoying our new format, Friday beach and Sunday crafting and relaxing time ...
Lovely jewelry, such talent
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Well done! I really like the shadow box art piece with all the sweetie lids!
Thank you so much... always love finding a Smarties lid for that frame! :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Ah, thank you! I needed this, haven't seen the beach since Jan 2020, now I'm vaxxed and Murphy's Law dictates that Melbourne (Oz) be in Lockdown #6 (now with added curfew! LOL) loved the waves on the beach, bliss. BTW, really enjoy your videos xxx
Thanks so much Jayne! So glad we were able to transport you to a beach - even virtually! Hope the lockdown is not too bad in OZ... So lovely to hear you enjoyed the waves and our videos ... Take care, xo Nicole & Craig
Have you visited the stretch of shore from Johnshaven to St Cyrus, so many gorgeous pebbles and rocks. We are just back from a fantastic family run Caravan Motorhome and Camping site called Miltonhaven. You would enjoy it. 😊
Oh we haven't been up that way yet, but pebbles and rocks sound like just the thing!! Thanks so much for the tip :)
@@scottishmudlarking it’s heaven!! If you camp or have a campervan motorhome or touring caravan just Google Miltonhaven St Cyrus you have to book as they are a small site but you will love it 😀😀
Awesome video, Nicole I loved your jewellery making, by the way those knots you used on the leather necklace, what do you call it if it has a name? Craig thank you for sharing nature’s blessings of soothing music. I would love to see your videos like this, one finding your treasures and one with craft or jewellery making then sit back close eyes and imagine being at the beach. Awesomeness all round, well done and thank you 👏👏👏👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖🤗🤗🤗
That's awesome, thank you so much! Its great to get this feedback! The knot is called a 'sliding knot' :D
We plan to stick with this format moving forward - craft/jewellery making and a wee bit of calm... Better yet, the new channel - we plan to launch in a few weeks time - will focus on the sights and sounds of nature with much longer videos for background, meditation, restfulness.
Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
@@scottishmudlarking awesomeness can’t wait 👏👏👏👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
That section of the sea and the beach was excellent Craig. Just to hear the sounds of nature was quite relaxing and soothing. Those hag stones with the leather cords are such a natural combination Nicole. Class! Sue and Ian, Australia
So lovely, thank you so much! We plan a lot more of the 'virtual beach/spend time in nature' videos for the new channel! :D The hag stones have been surprisingly popular, and yet Friday was very slow. We love them, they are so cool - thank you, its not often we use leather but it just seemed to fit! :D
Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Thank you Nicole for showing how you create your wonderful jewellery. Can you say where you get your bales and other equipment from, especially the ring you use. I have a few nice pebbles I found one polished, I would like to try this for my self.
Thanks so much! There is a link in the description to the jump ring opener on amazon - we even featured it in a video a while ago, as it was a FAQ ! It's a great tool and so cheap , absolute fingernail saver ;) There are also drilling instructions in our how to drill sea glass video to get you started...
Beautiful, from start to finish! I subscribed in the first minute of the first video I watched of yours. Nicole, I have a question: Do you already have, or will you make, a video of how to use wee pieces of seaglass? I have a few tiny blues that I can't part with but don't know how to use.
That is such a lovely thing to say, thank you so much! :D
That's such a good question... so good, in fact, that we will do a Sunday video on it! We are actually filming something tomorrow on tiny pieces, but not to wear... If you want to wear them, the easiest thing is to use a memory locket - you can get glass lockets to hold them in - just drop us a line at scottishmudlarking@gmail.com if you can't find one and we'll try to help out. We will have a bunch more suggestions coming soon! :D
Thank you so much! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
That ring your using to bend the jump rings together is very cool I've never seen that. way better than trying to use two pliers. I've learned a few things from watching you make these pendants. Thank you for sharing
Thanks so much Tracey! The ring is called a jump ring opener, we even featured it in an earlier video, because we got so many questions on it! There is a link in the description if you want to check it on amazon :) Great you took a few ideas away with you...
This video was wonderful. I loved the jewellery making, and the silent panorama of the beach. Then the spell was broken when I remembered Craig talking about the nickname for the place, and I started giggling. Good thing we don't have smell-o-vison! ROFL Poor Craig likely had to breathe through his mouth to keep from gagging. ;) As far as I'm concerned, whatever changes you two want to make are fine by me. It's your channel, and I can't imagine anything being seriously unlikable.
Aww! That is so kind, thank you so much!! So glad you enjoyed t... we will stick with a similar format for Sundays, craft/jewellery and a nice relaxing look at the place! I should have thought about that before I told you what people used to call the place! LOL
Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
🤩🤩🤩💖💖
Thank you so much! Beast wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
What supplier do you get your drill bits from? Which ones? Thanks! Beautiful work!
We’ve got our exact drill bits listed here 2craftykittens.Etsy.com 😃
The relaxing section is a good idea, but it seemed to go on a little too long to then just end the episode anyway. Perhaps some more creative filming would help (sorry, that sounds harsh).
I do always enjoy the craft and jewellery sections though, and I'd love to see more of them including features on some of the tools and accessories you use and recommendations of suppliers, etc
Many thanks!
No, that's not at all harsh - well intentioned cretinism is a great thing and it is most welcome. The weight of comments have been very positive about that section, so, we plan on keeping a section like that in those Sunday videos. We created that section in response to many requests over the months.
We will certainly continue to cover craft and jewellery making, though we have seldom really done tutorials, though we might have a closer look at tools and such.
Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Do you wear a mask while drilling the hole. Or is the water enough to keep you protected?
I would always recommend wearing a mask and eye protection
PEACE...x

What type of drilling Machine is used in drilling the beach pebbles?
We use a rotary tool, fitted with a multi-chuck, and, a dimond tipped drill bit. We cover all the details in the video linked! :D Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo

Is your bails that you use in rock to run thr necklace threw real silver or silver plated I have heard silver can be to soft to hold heavy things like rocks
Thanks so much Rose! The bails are sterling silver. Silver on its own is indeed a very soft material, sterling silver is an alloy with added materials ( its 92.5% silver) so it’s harder. I drilled the pebbles so they are attached just like sea glass or pottery and they weigh about the same 😃
☺💗🤗💗
Thank you so much! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Hallo ihr 2,
Ein Video voll nach meinem Geschmack.
Zuerst wunderbare Handwerkskunst und dann Entspannung pur.
Thank you so much
Jette
Hallo liebe Jette, oh das freut uns sehr! Das neue Format ist - Freitag's Strand und Sonntags Schmuck und Basteln mit extra Entspannung :) Liebe Gruesse, Nicole & Craig
What do you call the part you are putting into the stone to hold the chain pls?
I think you might mean the bail ???
Thank you. Where can you buy those?
We have opened an Etsy shop for supplies 2craftykittens.Etsy.com 😊
Now l know how my chocker was made fascinating. You’ll have money 💴 for another trip down under, photo coming I promise Cheers friends 🇦🇺........
Thanks so much Roger! Yes your choker was actually the inspiration for the hagstone necklace :) Hmm if it's youtube revenue... well it just about covers our petrol , so flight tickets from that YET!!! But we are saving to come back to OZ when we can, maybe in a year or two... Looking forward to said photo Cheers Nicole & Craig
what drill is used?
Hi! We use a few different drills - please check out the video link where we talk about drills and everything else about drilling sea glass, pottery etc.
Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
