I discovered who you were through another channel where the woman has copied your ideas. As soon as I watched her channel. I began to do a search of your name, which led to your channel. I love how you can allow ideas to flow unrestricted, and so playful. I wonder how you feel about people all over the world taking your ideas and copying them. I've visited the current McKenzie-Childs online site and although the basic ideas are copied, there's something missing. They are almost, dare I say, mere copies and not the expressions of you that your original work was. I don't know why, but I suppose it's like looking at an original Monet and then seeing a print. It's just not the same. As a creator who is "artless", does that bother you to have them copying everything, but getting it somehow "off"? I have my own form of creativity, and I wonder how I would feel if I found myself in your place. I hope I'd be as gracious as you are. Thank you for continuing the series. It answers so many questions, even while creating more. You are loved!
Dear Miss Sunny, we are starting to have a discussion soon, on Patreon between Frederik and me ( he is our partner in this channel). I’m starting to gather. Moments which would take a deeper discussion than what would work easily in comments. I love your question. I think I should answer it in a visit with Frederik for Patreon. I’m not sure if you know what Patreon is. We see it more of a place where one can get an MFA ( Masters in Fine Artlessness). Folks donate a little or a lot, as they feel they believe in on a monthly agreement which can stop at any time. It is a wonderful way to become a part of this great movement in thought. I hope you can come aboard. You would love the richness of the sharing there. Thank you so much for your question. It gives me much to think on.
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 I just found myself able to join Patreon at a small level--retirement you know--and I would love to find this discussion. Has it happened yet?
Dearest Miss Sunny, Your comment requires a long walk in the forest together, I think, and then a sit by a fire we would make to keep warm whilst still discussing through the wee hours, and flapjacks in the morning whilst even more and more of our walk through thought would continue into the rising sun and brisk air from which to draw in more inspiration. You know, I have so much to say that I don’t know where to start. I wonder if a video visit would be helpful for all of us, eh? I tell you what, I shall write it down and if I don’t find the best way to tell you about it within a few months, will you comment back? I think we can all benefit by a wholesome conversation. You know, I have a better idea. On Patreon, a format for visiting together, I could choose it as a topic for discussion. That might be the kindest way, and, most liberating way to discuss the whole idea, eh? We are due for a zoom chat on Patreon. Maybe in July, we shall have one and that will be discussed with the “Precious Patreons “ (that’s my new name for the Patreons. Do you know I sent them a video today and after the video that name came to me. It was always so awkward to call them the Patreon Patrons … I kep slipping and saying “patriots”😬! I know now what the topic will be. Thank you for brining up the need. Ever fondly, Victoria
Oh, dear Barb! Thank you! You know that word, it is found in the Bible! Isn’t it just packed full of Truth and the Promise of everlasting flow? Wow, what a book, eh? Ahoy!
Victoria- How is it that 20 odd years ago you created that ball that is so representative of the world today? So many scraps would have been cast away, but you crafted an inclusive "world" represented in the ball. Plaids and polka-dots side by side? Outlandish! Ridiculous! Awesome! Sublime! Catalyst! The world shrinking and its peoples' understanding of one another expanding at the same time.... Harmony from dissonance. All foretold in the ball. My best to you- Proud patron and friend-Uncle Robert
Dear Professor, Your Professions are world worthy. I can only hope to be as worthy of your words, … in every deed. Your commends are, to me more commendable than the works csn ever be! Ahoy, Victoria PS enjoy your walnuts when they come! Cheers for the day!
Ahoy, Testy! Yes, it was a perfect sketchbook /scrapbook. It was all old very needy farm house from 1810. It had nothing going for it, out on a windswept feral field. We needed each other. And both house and home provided all either could ever ask for, every need meeting every supply. Thanks for understanding
Thank you Vicki. I was just looking at it to re look at which jumped I had on. It was OK but I felt it looked a little droopy. Usually I wear it with 3/4 or short sleeves, but it was a little chilly in the morn so I wore a long-sleeved blouse, and I thought other necklace should have been hiked up a bit. I recall we were staying with a friend who doeasnt really like a lot of mirrors round so I didn’t even stop to check proportions. Also, I hardly ever do. Ant blame our friend. I just comb my hair and go until I fall into bed, either with my clothes on or night clothes if I am going to be wrinkled in the morn! Glad you liked it and didn’t think of all my reasons why I didn’t that day😄
I just discovered your videos yesterday and the more I see the more I want to see. I am so happy to see you telling us your story. Thank you for sharing.
Hello Victoria! I've been collecting Mackenzie-Childs since the early 90's. I miss your original work. I wish whoever bought your company would hire you to create for Mackenzie-Childs again. I like some of the new products but not as much as I did before with your original creations. Something is missing from the new line. You and Richard are that something that's missing...Thanks for sharing your world with us. I'm so inspired by your work and the stories behind it.
Stacy, this. Moment, I am going to save for a discussion on Patreon. It is one of the most important comments I have ever read. Thank you so much. We are about to begin a weekly discussion about things too deep or complex to speak to so quickly and lightly. I don’t think you are in Patreon are you? Well, it is easy to join up. The little drop down aero just under and to the left of the thumbnail photo of any video will show you how to join in on these richer relationships and important in depth thoughts. Thank you so very much! I really appreciate this comment
This is one of my favorite videos you've made!! I LOVE the Bible pages used on the walls...simply beautiful!!! And what a sweet reminder that God is surrounding us at all times!! When I was young, I can so hear my mother saying that stripes and polka dots don't go together, and stripes and floral can't be paired either. You have incredibly broken all those old rules in such a gloriously beautiful way!! I have a tiny channel where I love to take thrifted things and give them an MC makeover in a very simplistic way. I am NO artist or fantastic creator. But since I have found out about you and your channel, I have told everyone who watches to come here and like and subscribe. And what a treat they will have listening to your unique stories!! Thanks for sharing your talents with us all!! Many blessings
Miss Bee, your writing is just beautiful. I love YOUR STORY! Isn’t is wonderful that even our parents can still be growing UPward? We teach each other, and bless all the world! Thank you ever so much for sharing
Your rooms are so soothing even though they have so many wonderful individual things going on. I’m a total beige walls and no patterns in my decor kind of gal (i get easily overstimulated lol) and yet i bet i could drift off into a nap in that room you’re showing. I dont know HOW you do it, but you do it!! It’s wonderful!
Anwelei! Oh, how I should like to come to nap on your floor and look up into a cyclorama! I don’t do so much on purpose but I just hade to let things go witjought bringing out the best in them. Like that Bible or a trunk full of hand made lace remnants! I just can’t see the benefit of saving something unless it is also serving someone. It I love a freedom of aging on the ground and looking up into infinity. That is how your house would be to me, ahhh
Words are so insignificant for me to explain how lovely the time I spend learning from you a Master Class for Artless .....John 3:16 2 Chronicles 7:14. Cheers from Pennsylvania Blessings 🙏🙏🙏🎚🎚🎚👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You are like a good book, I can’t wait for the next chapter. You are truly a light of God shining in this world. Thank you for the many lessons you have taught me in the last few months.
My goodness Sandi, what you just said maxes life worth so much more. I think the hard work and time put int making videos is so wonderful. I love the work, and if it makes even one person glad and somehow brings out their true purpose and true nature, we have just done a selfless work, and this can only go out and bless more and more, “am I Right?” 😊. Sandi, do you know about Patreon? We are soon to start interviews and talks about deeper subjects than what is shown on UA-cam. You may want to check it out. There’s a drop down menu just to the lower right of the thumbnail, Eh? Much love and gratitude, Victoria
Well, you forget to tell, us you say, of the coming video and I forgot to tell you on the video that I watched earlier today where you were doing upgrade on the wicker sofa that I love the overview as you brought us through of your home aboard Yankee.
Oh, Sharon. I’m so glad you have Fitbit all together now. I am a bit all over the place. I Fink know how anyone can ever follow! So fondly to you, Victoria
Victoria everything you do gives me joy! Did you know how uplifting you are to so many. Bless you dear lady and never quit creating or I'll truly be sad. Be well! P.S. I am forever more a devoted fan.
Hello, Speckle! So very glad to meet you. I don’t like to push you into anything, but you seem like you would be great in Patreon. If you look at the beginning thumbnail of any video you will find a wee arrow on the right just under the i mage. It is a drop down and there is a link to patreon there. We are going to have interviews and visits together about many current events, as well as other things soon. And any contribution of a rhythmic way is so joyfully put to work to help keep this Channel moving and to hopefully keep Channel Mammal’s fed with deep and rich discussions. Come along if you like. If not, I like you just where you are! Ahoy, Victoria
Loved loved loved this video. I was in total awe! The pots are MAGNIFICENT! TRULY! The creativity to put the bible pages as checks on he walls divine! ( pun intended!) I flipped hearing fabric was bark! The ottoman I would kill for. I think you sent me one of the floral beads in my little surprise box and I love it!!! Only God could inspire such creativity and loveliness and FUN to boot! You are so blessed...and so is the world because of it! Love you!
My good friend, Kathy! I feel I have known you through all civilizations and shall for evermore. Frederik, who edits the videos, along with another Boat-boy, emeritus, and I are going to start have a visit about an interesting topic too rich for discussion on the channel. If you have anything you would find interesting to see us discuss, please feel free to tell me here or in Patreon, eh? See you there very soon
Love the ruffled bottom on the skirt and the patched blouse. The pots are so unusual and being able to withstand cold temps would be wonderful. I have to store most of my heavy cement each fall or our severe winters make it crumble eventually. That home is magical I love all its twists and turns and magical elements. How lucky the owners are to live there and enjoy all the whimsy while adding their own flourishes!
And, yes, adding one’s own flourishes is most important to a living place. I am going to speak about this in more depth again in Patreon with Frederik, who, along with Leonardo, another Boat-Boy emeritus, do the editing for the channel . It is very important to make history always moving, eh? Adding one’s own flourish is key to the fact that that there is room in a dwelling to express more, and that the harmonizing element, is the action of Life and Love together, ongoing. Stagnation is the worst thing, which can suffer a sense of home.
I always love your enthusiasm, creativity, history, and your vision of EVERYTHING 🌹🌷 Thank you for sharing your incredible and wonderful knowledge I hang on your every word🎀
Oh, gosh, thank you, Lynn. It is so good to feel that the. Handel is meeting your needs, whilst you are contributing so openly and hone story to the comment section. I am very grateful to you.
Victoria. I received my package! You shouldn’t have! But,I am so glad you did. Of course the pastry was the very best! I appreciate you and Fredrick so much. 💕
You can’t know how many long hours and days of distraction. I kept knowing why I was making you surprise and it was because you felt so naturally impelled to help Yankee and this channel, which, IS , I just know, playing a part to reconnect Americans and the world round us to the basis of our national values. You stood up first for what we are doing and I knew I could and must show you in my best way, with what I have, to bring a smile to your heart as well! Again, I thank you, Vicki, and all of your comrade Patrons!
Ms Victoria I didn't know who you were back then except the name of beautiful home decor out of my budget. I see the strong creative force of you today and I have to giggle thinking of how y'all MAJESTICALLY broke the rules!!!! Just look at those lampshades give two totally different expressions of light. Genius 😳 Love and applause from Texas Granny.❤
I send my love to Texas! You all have had a rough couple years. The rest of right, rugged Americans are in awe of your ability to deal with the illegal influx and to work do hard to stand up to the attempt to tyrannical proliferation. ‘Tis you, all y’all Texans, whom have been standing Majestically of late. My hat goes off to you! And you shall lead the lot, home, to the American Dream, awakened to!
I love everything you’ve ever created from when I discovered you in the early 90’s. I love your stories and watching all the tours and the art you created still living in a beautiful place. I live nearby Cayuga Lake and love the area. I actually visited your homestead when you still lived there and met you and purchased one of your beautiful Italian clay urns. 🌹❣️🌹
The pots are so Beautiful and Stately . I would have never thought about putting the pages on the wall like that, absolutely perfect for that room. Love the stories and the tours.
Nancy, thank you so much. I am glad you didn’t think it sacrilegious to do so. I was a little concerned that folks might feel that way, I feel more are blessed with them in this new light which perhaps they might never have bothered to look and wonder why the Bible is so important withought this quiet experience of standing, just alone with a page opened up to them … like as to wonder the meaning of an intriguing painting in a museum. Finding oneself in th at moment together, it seems, well, HOLY! We all learn about ourselves and Our Father-Mother God in so many different ways. This can be one for someone, eh?
Thank You for taking us around the world and home again. How wonderful to see your creations and learn about all the different materials you form everything with! It’s all so fresh to me and so inspiring! Thank You for giving us so much! I do remember being told do not mix different designs together! I’m so happy we are free! God Bless You!
Dear Auntie Bee, I know just what you mean. As we grow as a society, we seem to teach those who com before us, with our child like freshness and light, just as their experience teaches us. It is true wisdom to know what advice to follow. That is all part of the joy of sharing. And you have chosen the better parts, eh?!
I completely relate to you and your artistic style. I cannot decorate inside "the box". I try, but just can't. My kitchen counters are decoupaged with paper napkins. People see it and love it, they don't know they need whimsey until they see whimsey. Do you ever go through creative blocks? I have been in one for a few years. Have not done any art and can't seem to get going again. Love you, Love your channel, Love your art! Debra
You, know, Debra, I never thought of that. I have never heard of a creative block. Is that a term folks know? I think it is a great thing to talk about. I have a rush of thought on it. You are a God send, you know? Because on Patreon, for the Patrons, we were going to start soon to have a conversation about every week or so where the Patrons could play it and hear deeper thoughts on all kinds of subjects. I think this idea of the creative block might be a perfect beginning to our talks. I don’t think you know about Patreon, do you? I would want you to consider joining in, for, I feel you are just right for listening to all kinds of subjects. You can join for only as much as you feel is right and you can stop whenever you like. You can get the link in the little drop down menus to the lower left of any video we put up. Thank you EVEF SO MUCH! I think I shall pin up this conversation so fools know what is h appeni g on Patreon!
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 To me a creative block is not being able to come up with ideas or not able to get the desire to create, kinda like writer's block. I will look into the Patreon, I really don't know what it is.. I work full time so I am gone all day, not sure if it is a live thing you do or if it is something I can watch at a later time? Thank you for responding. Have a great evening. P.S. when I watch your videos it does make me want to start on something in my house....thank you!
You know what I love about yours & Richards creations? The attention & appreciation from where each material comes from. The story behind each piece whether it’s a form of mineral or wood, fabric or what have you, you look deeper into its possibilities. I really appreciate that. I love the sitting ball! We have some wild thistle beside one of our ponds and when it blooms I will surely think of you guys :)
Carnation,, thank you so very much for this comment. It certainly show that YOU are ALSO paying ATTENTION & APPRECIATION to the materials, thoughts and possibilities of everything we are sharing with the Channel Mammals. You are a wonderful team player. You might be interested in Patreon. I wonder if you ever considered that. People think thst to be a patron they have to be well to do but for as small as you like and to stop the automatic monthly care whenever you like is what it is all about. And, then also the zoom visits and other things we are working on, is a great little gift from us together. You can find my sPatreon link in the description which is just below and to the right of any thumbnail for any of the videos. Just the same, thank you and your comments and subscriber-ship is wonderful
Victoria, oh wow! thanks for the scrumptious eye candy! Those flower pots are amazing!!! Interesting facts about the clay too. And those dresses are totally adorable. So unique!
The owners are the ones who actually put up the scaffolding snd did the hard job of making it real! Such accuracy, and love expressed in every page mounted on high! I too am in awe😲
Another great video, I just love everything about this video.🥰 Thinking out of the box is what you do best Victoria. I just love it! I can't wait for the next video, keep them coming! 😊
Oh, Vicki, I’m so grateful you are still speaking to me. I made a wee video, but now must get it off to you, Arrrrrr ! I’m so sorry for only delays for such a worthy work of love and skill and great joy to me, and adornment to yankee. Richard loves it so much too!
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 Howdy Victoria, You are a busy woman, I understand that. 🙂 I am patient. Lol. To know you liked it fills my heart with joy.
Oh, Elaine, I would love to do that some day. For now, I am seeing, in a way, UA-cam & Patreon as a means for sharing, it perhaps some day. A book is a huge effort for me, whilst just the easy freshness (though lots of work and time) UA-cam and Patreon are a joy to make and to share. Hope you can wait for the written word a little / lot? Longer😬
@Victoria MacKenzie-Childs I see where your coming from, it would take up lots of your time,sometimes off the cuff is more spontaneous, best wishes to you and Richard from Scotland xx
Elaine! Are you a native of Scotland? I am second generation American, both parents are first generation American and so we are very close feeling to Scotland. Our grandparents immigrated through Canada. We are very close in our feelings towards the mother country. We have only one Channel Mammal from The isles, from Wales, actually. She is also a Patreon. I just sent a gift to her the other day, for all the patrons recieved this gift. It wasn’t as expensive as I thought it would be to ship. $17, but one is in Germany & it was $25, but I had to stop when it came to The one from Australia, $73!!! So if you ever want to be a patron through Patreon, you are welcome. Just don’t encourage all your Australian friends to join😬. The post man thought it might have to do with the tyranny in Australia. Anything to shut down their people … that seems to be the belief, anyway. And thanks for understanding the wonderful spontaneity which comes through this format of UA-cam, as compared with the laborious route through writing. I hope others might also find that they are either watching a true documentary of sorts or a “virtual” book, and can be glad for how it seems to be unfolding itself to use in the here and now. But I shall never say never. Some day I may be forced into a quiet time, which can be enlivened with the pen. Ahoy, AND -Frae Bonnie Scotland ! !
Oh, I don’t even know what that is? Are you a member of that? If so, it would be so wonderful for those members to come and ”check” it out, eh? They will learn so much more if they want to know from the rocking horses mouth😊
Lana, you can visit our Shopify. It is listed in the s description. Hit the little tiny arrow to the lower right below of the thumbnail of any video, befor you start the video, and you will find it. Thanks for asking!
Well, however we can, but we have used two organizations, one out of San Fransisco and one out of San Paolo, Brazil. We like the Brazilian one best. But we are up for any way it works out. We have Americans as well as every nation. We love the way it always unfolds … mostly very well for all. It is a joyous way to live and work!
Oh Victoria, this beautiful video is stuffed with symbolism ! I will just mention about the Swedish Bible. You proclaim aloud that you are a child of God… you found His “ truth, fallen in the street “ Isaiah 59:14. You lifted it up, brought it home and put it where everyone can see it… “ My word will not return unto Me void , but will accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it “. Isaiah 55:11. ❤️. We could go on about winged angels and those winged chairs that go perfectly with the wallpaper…. ! You are so right about people being rigid in their beliefs…… they are rigid, too, in their beliefs about God. Jesus showed up what God is like… God is L❤️VE …. “ Love is patient, love is kind …. “ 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8.
Christina I so look forward to your cam menti. You are a master of Bible quotes. - every ONE so befitting the need for the perfect word. Thank you, always!
Amy, another great topic for discussion on our new series (thinking of it now as once a week, an educational conversation with Frederik, our Partner … rarely seen (only shows up in our very first video.) Now we are going to do a talking discussion called The MFA (Masters of Fine Artlessness) where we pick up on questions too heavy, or too lengthy for a comment response. We are hoping to do our first one this week! I’m signing up you question just for that list of discussion points. Thanks so much! Keep the queries coming, eh?
I discovered who you were through another channel where the woman has copied your ideas. As soon as I watched her channel. I began to do a search of your name, which led to your channel.

You are like a good book, I can’t wait for the next chapter. You are truly a light of God shining in this world. Thank you for the many lessons you have taught me in the last few months.
My goodness Sandi, what you just said maxes life worth so much more. I think the hard work and time put int making videos is so wonderful. I love the work, and if it makes even one person glad and somehow brings out their true purpose and true nature, we have just done a selfless work, and this can only go out and bless more and more, “am I Right?” 😊. Sandi, do you know about Patreon? We are soon to start interviews and talks about deeper subjects than what is shown on UA-cam. You may want to check it out. There’s a drop down menu just to the lower right of the thumbnail, Eh? Much love and gratitude, Victoria
Amazing................thank thank you for sharing your story!!!!!
Why, thank you, Becky, ‘twas my pleasure as well!
Very interesting & beautiful!
The cobble stone driveway ❤️
Well, you forget to tell, us you say, of the coming video and I forgot to tell you on the video that I watched earlier today where you were doing upgrade on the wicker sofa that I love the overview as you brought us through of your home aboard Yankee.
Oh, Sharon. I’m so glad you have Fitbit all together now. I am a bit all over the place. I Fink know how anyone can ever follow! So fondly to you, Victoria
The Swedish Bible pages create a beautiful unique wallscape ♥️❤️♥️
😇
I use to make pottery ,and I miss making pottery . I did a lot of different kinds of glazes on my pots . I left all my pottery at my daughter house .
💚🌱all of the pottery is breathtakingly beautiful 💚💜💚I also really dig your fashion ideas💚💜🌱💜💚
So good to hear from you, Vickie!
Victoria everything you do gives me joy! Did you know how uplifting you are to so many. Bless you dear lady and never quit creating or I'll truly be sad. Be well! P.S. I am forever more a devoted fan.
Hello, Speckle! So very glad to meet you. I don’t like to push you into anything, but you seem like you would be great in Patreon. If you look at the beginning thumbnail of any video you will find a wee arrow on the right just under the i mage. It is a drop down and there is a link to patreon there. We are going to have interviews and visits together about many current events, as well as other things soon. And any contribution of a rhythmic way is so joyfully put to work to help keep this Channel moving and to hopefully keep Channel Mammal’s fed with deep and rich discussions. Come along if you like. If not, I like you just where you are! Ahoy, Victoria
Loved loved loved this video. I was in total awe! The pots are MAGNIFICENT! TRULY! The creativity to put the bible pages as checks on he walls divine! ( pun intended!) I flipped hearing fabric was bark! The ottoman I would kill for. I think you sent me one of the floral beads in my little surprise box and I love it!!! Only God could inspire such creativity and loveliness and FUN to boot! You are so blessed...and so is the world because of it! Love you!
My good friend, Kathy! I feel I have known you through all civilizations and shall for evermore. Frederik, who edits the videos, along with another Boat-boy, emeritus, and I are going to start have a visit about an interesting topic too rich for discussion on the channel. If you have anything you would find interesting to see us discuss, please feel free to tell me here or in Patreon, eh?
See you there very soon
Love the ruffled bottom on the skirt and the patched blouse. The pots are so unusual and being able to withstand cold temps would be wonderful. I have to store most of my heavy cement each fall or our severe winters make it crumble eventually. That home is magical I love all its twists and turns and magical elements. How lucky the owners are to live there and enjoy all the whimsy while adding their own flourishes!
And, yes, adding one’s own flourishes is most important to a living place. I am going to speak about this in more depth again in Patreon with Frederik, who, along with Leonardo, another Boat-Boy emeritus, do the editing for the channel . It is very important to make history always moving, eh? Adding one’s own flourish is key to the fact that that there is room in a dwelling to express more, and that the harmonizing element, is the action of Life and Love together, ongoing. Stagnation is the worst thing, which can suffer a sense of home.
Well there's a style of checks I'd never thought of myself lol
Nor I … it just bolted into thought
Beautifully dressed
Oh, Thank you, sherry, not sure what dress, haven’t seen it in some time, but so kind of you to appreciate and to find joy in it, Ahoy!
I always love your enthusiasm, creativity, history, and your vision of EVERYTHING 🌹🌷 Thank you for sharing your incredible and wonderful knowledge I hang on your every word🎀
Oh, gosh, thank you, Lynn. It is so good to feel that the. Handel is meeting your needs, whilst you are contributing so openly and hone story to the comment section. I am very grateful to you.
Victoria. I received my package! You shouldn’t have! But,I am so glad you did. Of course the pastry was the very best! I appreciate you and Fredrick so much. 💕
Oh, I’m so glad, Vicki! I hope it was somewhat recognizable after its journey.. thanks for telling me
You can’t know how many long hours and days of distraction. I kept knowing why I was making you surprise and it was because you felt so naturally impelled to help Yankee and this channel, which, IS , I just know, playing a part to reconnect Americans and the world round us to the basis of our national values. You stood up first for what we are doing and I knew I could and must show you in my best way, with what I have, to bring a smile to your heart as well! Again, I thank you, Vicki, and all of your comrade Patrons!
Hi Victoria! I love your pots - just beautiful - you are so knowledgable and full of wonderful stories! You look great and are so cheerful!
Hi Delightful! Good to hear from you, always🤗
Ms Victoria
I didn't know who you were back then except the name of beautiful home decor out of my budget. I see the strong creative force of you today and I have to giggle thinking of how y'all MAJESTICALLY broke the rules!!!! Just look at those lampshades give two totally different expressions of light. Genius 😳
Love and applause from Texas Granny.❤
I send my love to Texas! You all have had a rough couple years. The rest of right, rugged Americans are in awe of your ability to deal with the illegal influx and to work do hard to stand up to the attempt to tyrannical proliferation. ‘Tis you, all y’all Texans, whom have been standing Majestically of late. My hat goes off to you! And you shall lead the lot, home, to the American Dream, awakened to!
You are a jewel!
I love those pots and that Italian story, and I finally got to know the Swedish bible wall deco, so many details that are mesmerizing!
You have made a great mental impression of everything. Thank you so much for sharing what you got , as it helps me to keep going with this work.
Thank you Victoria....u r so special❣
🤗
I love everything you’ve ever created from when I discovered you in the early 90’s. I love your stories and watching all the tours and the art you created still living in a beautiful place. I live nearby Cayuga Lake and love the area. I actually visited your homestead when you still lived there and met you and purchased one of your beautiful Italian clay urns. 🌹❣️🌹
Ahoy, Chow! And, some how, we shall meet again, eh?
Beautiful!💖
The pots are so Beautiful and Stately . I would have never thought about putting the pages on the wall like that, absolutely perfect for that room. Love the stories and the tours.
Nancy, thank you so much. I am glad you didn’t think it sacrilegious to do so. I was a little concerned that folks might feel that way, I feel more are blessed with them in this new light which perhaps they might never have bothered to look and wonder why the Bible is so important withought this quiet experience of standing, just alone with a page opened up to them … like as to wonder the meaning of an intriguing painting in a museum. Finding oneself in th at moment together, it seems, well, HOLY! We all learn about ourselves and Our Father-Mother God in so many different ways. This can be one for someone, eh?
Thank You for taking us around the world and home again. How wonderful to see your creations and learn about all the different materials you form everything with! It’s all so fresh to me and so inspiring! Thank You for giving us so much! I do remember being told do not mix different designs together! I’m so happy we are free! God Bless You!
Dear Auntie Bee,
I know just what you mean. As we grow as a society, we seem to teach those who com before us, with our child like freshness and light, just as their experience teaches us. It is true wisdom to know what advice to follow. That is all part of the joy of sharing. And you have chosen the better parts, eh?!
I completely relate to you and your artistic style. I cannot decorate inside "the box". I try, but just can't. My kitchen counters are decoupaged with paper napkins. People see it and love it, they don't know they need whimsey until they see whimsey. Do you ever go through creative blocks? I have been in one for a few years. Have not done any art and can't seem to get going again. Love you, Love your channel, Love your art! Debra
You, know, Debra, I never thought of that. I have never heard of a creative block. Is that a term folks know? I think it is a great thing to talk about. I have a rush of thought on it.
You are a God send, you know? Because on Patreon, for the Patrons, we were going to start soon to have a conversation about every week or so where the Patrons could play it and hear deeper thoughts on all kinds of subjects. I think this idea of the creative block might be a perfect beginning to our talks.
I don’t think you know about Patreon, do you? I would want you to consider joining in, for, I feel you are just right for listening to all kinds of subjects. You can join for only as much as you feel is right and you can stop whenever you like.
You can get the link in the little drop down menus to the lower left of any video we put up.
Thank you EVEF SO MUCH! I think I shall pin up this conversation so fools know what is h appeni g on Patreon!
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 To me a creative block is not being able to come up with ideas or not able to get the desire to create, kinda like writer's block. I will look into the Patreon, I really don't know what it is.. I work full time so I am gone all day, not sure if it is a live thing you do or if it is something I can watch at a later time? Thank you for responding. Have a great evening. P.S. when I watch your videos it does make me want to start on something in my house....thank you!
You know what I love about yours & Richards creations? The attention & appreciation from where each material comes from. The story behind each piece whether it’s a form of mineral or wood, fabric or what have you, you look deeper into its possibilities. I really appreciate that. I love the sitting ball! We have some wild thistle beside one of our ponds and when it blooms I will surely think of you guys :)
Carnation,, thank you so very much for this comment. It certainly show that YOU are ALSO paying ATTENTION & APPRECIATION to the materials, thoughts and possibilities of everything we are sharing with the Channel Mammals. You are a wonderful team player. You might be interested in Patreon. I wonder if you ever considered that. People think thst to be a patron they have to be well to do but for as small as you like and to stop the automatic monthly care whenever you like is what it is all about. And, then also the zoom visits and other things we are working on, is a great little gift from us together. You can find my sPatreon link in the description which is just below and to the right of any thumbnail for any of the videos. Just the same, thank you and your comments and subscriber-ship is wonderful
I have seen those chairs before but really never knew how special they were until your description. Victoria. You brighten my world! Thank you!
I’m glad, Vicki. Thanks for your kind comment here.
Victoria, oh wow! thanks for the scrumptious eye candy! Those flower pots are amazing!!! Interesting facts about the clay too. And those dresses are totally adorable. So unique!
Hi, Valerie! Thanks … and, let’s see if a package arrived today. I HOPE so! Please let me know, eh?
What a special wall treatment! Such a wonderful idea!
The owners are the ones who actually put up the scaffolding snd did the hard job of making it real! Such accuracy, and love expressed in every page mounted on high! I too am in awe😲
Your clothes are so sweet and I love your necklace!!
I’m so glad, Chris. Thanks for you sweet support, eh
Pure magic. Thank you.
🤗
Another great video, I just love everything about this video.🥰 Thinking out of the box is what you do best Victoria. I just love it! I can't wait for the next video, keep them coming! 😊
Thanks my double-smiling friend, D D. I shall try to keep going fore you. Ahoy, Victoria!
Howdy Victoria... That house just looks better the more I see it.its really beautiful,
Oh, Vicki, I’m so grateful you are still speaking to me. I made a wee video, but now must get it off to you, Arrrrrr ! I’m so sorry for only delays for such a worthy work of love and skill and great joy to me, and adornment to yankee. Richard loves it so much too!
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 Howdy Victoria, You are a busy woman, I understand that. 🙂 I am patient. Lol. To know you liked it fills my heart with joy.
Trying!
I use a backpack too that's striped like your stockings, which I love by the way!
Dolores,, sounds like you have the most beautiful pack. I can just imagine; … I shall wave to you next time our patches cross, eh?
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 👍
I started watching your because I seem all your art. I wondered if you are relation to a potter .I am enjoying your videos
The room is so gorgeous!
😊
Love your stories ❤️
You are a good listener too, Elaine. I have never seen you wiggle, interrupt, nor trun the page out of turn😇
@Victoria MacKenzie-Childs you should write all your stories,and turn them into a book.i for one would relish reading them xxx
Oh, Elaine, I would love to do that some day. For now, I am seeing, in a way, UA-cam & Patreon as a means for sharing, it perhaps some day. A book is a huge effort for me, whilst just the easy freshness (though lots of work and time) UA-cam and Patreon are a joy to make and to share. Hope you can wait for the written word a little / lot? Longer😬
@Victoria MacKenzie-Childs I see where your coming from, it would take up lots of your time,sometimes off the cuff is more spontaneous, best wishes to you and Richard from Scotland xx
Elaine! Are you a native of Scotland? I am second generation American, both parents are first generation American and so we are very close feeling to Scotland. Our grandparents immigrated through Canada. We are very close in our feelings towards the mother country. We have only one Channel Mammal from The isles, from Wales, actually. She is also a Patreon. I just sent a gift to her the other day, for all the patrons recieved this gift. It wasn’t as expensive as I thought it would be to ship. $17, but one is in Germany & it was $25, but I had to stop when it came to The one from Australia, $73!!!
So if you ever want to be a patron through Patreon, you are welcome. Just don’t encourage all your Australian friends to join😬. The post man thought it might have to do with the tyranny in Australia. Anything to shut down their people … that seems to be the belief, anyway.
And thanks for understanding the wonderful spontaneity which comes through this format of UA-cam, as compared with the laborious route through writing. I hope others might also find that they are either watching a true documentary of sorts or a “virtual” book, and can be glad for how it seems to be unfolding itself to use in the here and now. But I shall never say never. Some day I may be forced into a quiet time, which can be enlivened with the pen.
Ahoy, AND -Frae Bonnie Scotland ! !
Victoria. You and your you tube videos were discussed on Fb in the Check Savvy Sisters group.
Oh, I don’t even know what that is? Are you a member of that? If so, it would be so wonderful for those members to come and ”check” it out, eh? They will learn so much more if they want to know from the rocking horses mouth😊
🌟🌟💚🌟🌟
💚💚💚
I love ve your planters , can’t wait to receive mine in the mail !!
I’m d sure it will hug Ave a happy home to adorn!
awesome /
Do you have items for sale you've recently designed?
Lana, you can visit our Shopify. It is listed in the s description. Hit the little tiny arrow to the lower right below of the thumbnail of any video, befor you start the video, and you will find it. Thanks for asking!
How do you acquire boat boys!
Well, however we can, but we have used two organizations, one out of San Fransisco and one out of San Paolo, Brazil. We like the Brazilian one best. But we are up for any way it works out. We have Americans as well as every nation. We love the way it always unfolds … mostly very well for all. It is a joyous way to live and work!
I would love to see you deconstruct a piece of clothing and create something new!
Oh, gosh, Amy! I should never get anything done with you around😬
@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 I’ve always wanted to try to up-cycle a piece of clothing
Oh Victoria, this beautiful video is stuffed with symbolism ! I will just mention about the Swedish Bible. You proclaim aloud that you are a child of God… you found His “ truth, fallen in the street “ Isaiah 59:14. You lifted it up, brought it home and put it where everyone can see it… “ My word will not return unto Me void , but will accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it “. Isaiah 55:11. ❤️. We could go on about winged angels and those winged chairs that go perfectly with the wallpaper…. ! You are so right about people being rigid in their beliefs…… they are rigid, too, in their beliefs about God. Jesus showed up what God is like… God is L❤️VE …. “ Love is patient, love is kind …. “ 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8.
Christina I so look forward to your cam menti. You are a master of Bible quotes. - every ONE so befitting the need for the perfect word. Thank you, always!
I so enjoy your videos Victoria. You are such a sweet and caring person. 😊
Brenda, you must know by now that I’m always prepared to know “it takes one to know one” eh? Enjoy your lovely life, eternally, dear one
Tell us about the ruckus that you and Richard stirred with your designs.
Amy, another great topic for discussion on our new series (thinking of it now as once a week, an educational conversation with Frederik, our Partner … rarely seen (only shows up in our very first video.) Now we are going to do a talking discussion called The MFA (Masters of Fine Artlessness) where we pick up on questions too heavy, or too lengthy for a comment response. We are hoping to do our first one this week!
I’m signing up you question just for that list of discussion points. Thanks so much! Keep the queries coming, eh?
