A proud Peruvian here listening you talking about my heritage
The Pied Piper of Hamelin is the fairy tale! Very interesting chat today! Love all of your tin toys!
Thank you for your videos ❤
I love how free your creativity is. You allow yourselves to dabble in so many arts and crafts, and this cross-fertilisation is what makes your style so unique and liberating. Thank you for the inspiration x
Knitting while listening to you two feels like listening to my two favorite (and amusing) uncles. Except I have no uncles. ;)
Your table cloth is a masterpiece,and to add the butterflies and flowers wow,wow,you are a master Arne…
Hey 😊nice to see you! I’m curious about your new kitchen, when will you show us. Thanks for a charming visit. Ingrid.
Yes please on the Peru trip!
Delightful!
Oh wow!!!!! Your tin toys, they are soooooooo cool! What a fine collection ❤️❤️❤️
Happy 2024! Nice to see you again. I love your doll houses, I have one myself. They are so much fun to decorate.
Gorgeous sweaters!
Älskar den färgkombinationen på tröjan!
Oh boy, so many memories. I remember my grandmother sewing lace underpants and bra onto my tiny new doll. She must've been 10cm tall. Being creative every day in all situations is a ✨gift✨
Another Proud Peruvian here too !! Lovely sweaters !! Regards
Love your sweaters
Love your tin toy collection!
With you two sitting in front of your doll houses and then pulling out the tin toys, I suddenly remembered that my dollhouse was made of pressed tin. It must have been common in the 50s. Anyway, thank you for the reminder. That was fun.
Sky is blue. Cool! I understand English! Greetings from Ukraine!
Love you guys!!! Thanks for doing this for us!! ❤❤❤
I am so glad you extended the sale. I was crestfallen yesterday when I thought I had missed it. Oh the joy when I bought about 14 patterns!!!🥰
I’m so excited you’re designing with Lewis and Irene. I’m a knitter and a quilter so I’ll have to make a quilt from your line! Yippee!
Hi guys. Happy to see you.
So much creative talent under one roof!
I love your tablecloth and will try to put aside my fear of crochet to make it lol. Can't wait for the pattern. Thanks for a fun episode.
I love the sweaters and the tin toys are fabulous! We have a few that were my dad's toys.
We have the very same duck. So cute. That painting wil be very beautiful 😍👍🍀🍀🙋♀️
Those tin toys are so much fun. We also had some that vibrate and we’d wind em up and set them on a table or floor and they move with the vibration. Races were fun! ❤
Hi from Edmonton Canada! We’re out of the deep freeze now and so happy about the weather AND even more happy to watch SAKFAB. 😊 I love your sweaters! I’ve always loved the big floral design. Thanks for featuring your sweaters. Arne, that is a fantastic sweater. In cool weather having a shawl collar is extra helpful.
Oh my! If you have a trip to Peru, I am going for sure!!!!
This is my absolute favorite to watch. I love to hear all the things you 2 are up to. Have you shown the new kitchen yet?
I love your "everything" podcast. It's really enjoyable. Thank you!
I love tin toys as well! My cousin and I Gifted one to my mum. It is an elephant sitting a globe with hat. When the toy is wound up the elephant hat has two aeroplanes that “take off” and fly in a circle around the globe. It is lots of fun 🤩
Yes, I love both of you and love hearing about your lives. Nice doll houses and dolls.
Always a pleasure
Excellent episode! Thank you all very much! Be well, stay safe all.👍💜💞😊🥰
👍😁🤩🥰🍀thank you.
Great show! Lots of useful tips and info, always interesting. Thank you!
Such a lovely and interesting conversation, perfect for my knitting. Thank you.
Thanks so much for the pattern sale. I bought 12. I hope I can actually make some of the ones I purchased. I really love watching you guys. Since I mostly watch on TV I can't comment there. I was hoping to catch you live today but I was too late. Maybe next week.
Your energy is palpable at this gloomy season in Quebec. Not a bit of sun for days on end. The temperature has been mild however, so one can't complain. You never cease to amaze me. Your hobbies and passions are heartwarming to listen to. Love the smiles and chuckles. Keep up the good work.
Love king crab, Arne. And, I don’t care how much it costs! The toys are delightful. Yes, I look forward to seeing the new kitchen. Thanks for sharing.
I love the white n red , blue sweeter
Christmas balls, Easter balls and now wood balls!
Yay! I'm going to be on the cruise with you on Feb 5th! I'm so excited to meet you both and have some king crab!
SAKFAB is fun and inspiring. Thanks for doing these videos!
Wonderful chat today, Arne and Carlos. I love the little tin collectibles. You have many curiosities - such fun! Have a lovely Sunday. ❤😊
What beautiful toys!
For Arne’s sweater, I love the inside! I hope you guys make a pattern with that!
Love the tin toys, I remember seeing some similar ones in my grandparents’ attic. The crochet tablecloth will be awesome! The starving mouse, oh my! In Hungarian we call it the church mouse, because there is not much food to eat in the church 😂
I loved seeing your collection of vintage wind-up toys! Next time you're in Chicago, I recommend staying at Ray's Bucktown B&B. They have collections of everything everywhere.
Mini-Blythe!! I'm glad to see her.
I love tin toys too. I'm look forward to seeing Arne's painted!
It’s a joy to chat up with you guys. ❤❤ You’re the best couple and perfectly matched.
I have the 1970’s Lunde dollhouse too. It was a mess when I got it. I papered the walls, added rugs and lots and lots of furniture and caches.
It's so fun to have the adventure finding your collectable toys! They're wonderful!
For holes in the walls where mice can come in. The sawdust and glue combo you used can still be nibbled on by the mouse. Use Steel Wool....they come in bundles, stuff some in the hole and the mice won't eat it or get through it.
I’ve used steel wool too. Worked perfectly
Love that blue sweater
By walk by shoes
RE: King Crabs…Arne: I am their natural enemy. 🤣🤣🤣
I am crocheting a pastel pink cotton Five-Sided Pineapple Doily from a 1984 book for my mother during this SANFAB.
Wonderful way to spend the hour. ☺💕
Hi dear Arne and Carlos....Nice to be with you this evening knitting while it rains a lot outside.❤
Catching up day! If you want to use the wood glue outside, you can use what old wooden schooner builders used. To the wood glue and sawdust, mix in spar varnish.!!!
I so enjoyed seeing your fabulous tin toys. It reminds me of the antique toy puzzle 🧩 Arne was doing and I ended up buying as well 🤭. Guess 🦀 crabs as an invasive species is not as bad as bugs. At least you can eat them.
Lovely episode boys. I was so excited to see you sitting in front of the doll houses. Your Blythe petite looks very at home in her new home. My petite Blythe Wilma, isn’t authentic, but I love her all the same, however I bought an authentic Petite Blythe from 2004 last week, and she arrived this week. She is darling, and came with a china tea set. I’ve not named her yet, but her official name is Kitchen Queen. I got her at a great price (inbox) but she has a stain on her apron. I’m not overly bothered as I will make clothes for her.
I think the "paper spreader" is a spreader made out of paper. In the US we call it a tortillon (the French name) and it's used to smear (there's our favorite word again!)--I say you use them to smear, or blend, pastel colors together for nice gradations. Double-ended ones are called stumps. They're made of tightly wound paper and you can clean or sharpen them with fine sandpaper.
From other videos, I like your polar bears! 🦄🐻❄
What a fun and full SAKFAB! Thank you so much ❤
I love the tablecloth. It’s beautiful and can’t wait for the pattern. You are a very clever with whatever you do and I enjoy seeing the op shops you visit and all the craft. You are very loving and respectful to each other and I really enjoy watching you both. Greetings from Australia.
So interesting ... those toys, the fireplace and how you're going to fix it... Arne is so inspired and inspiring. Enjoyed watching , as always.
You guys are hilarious! Of course you play with your tin toys! They sound like so much fun, from the shopping for then to the day dreaming and planning projects with them. Sounds so satisfying! As always, thank you for sharing with us!
Arne and Carlos, finding you, through,” The Last Homely House”, video series, which I also just found, has been a Godsend.
I’ve knitted since I was 4, and knew that my great Grandmother Mary Knudsen came from Ringsaker, Norway, but that’s it. No traditions, no food, nothing, though I heard about lutefisk, but have never seen nor ate it.
No Christmas cookies etc., so really a complete blank. It wasn’t until I was in a textile show about Scandinavian roots, did it really strike me how empty that answer was. May way forward was to bring what I knew from other countries and hope that at some point I would discover more, but due to the timeline of creating a piece for the show, I stayed with what I knew, which was using full cloth to compose a vest, that used a Finish lock of putting rough yarn fleece threw some of the body, needle felting star like flowers ( Maremeko) that I loved from a glazed piece of Danish pottery. I also added a Navaho ply black wool line throughout the body as that was in the pottery piece as well.
The show was in Finland at their Historical Craft and Textile Museum, and my daughter was kind enough to go with me as I’d never traveled before. We also ended our trip in Stockholm which was a treat to get to Sweden as well, but now finding you I have finally found a way to learn the ways of traditional and modern Norway from my old house,1874, built by a Norwegian man,Lars, in my southern Minnesota town. Thank you so much for sharing your talents and heritage with the world . Wishing you Infinite Blessings❤
I'm not having a great day but I laughed so hard at the thought of Arne being the natural predator of the king crab
Always wonderful to see you and hear your voices - looking forward to seeing you repair and steek your sweater and also how you will finish your crochet tablecloth
Hugs! ❤😘
The inside of that sweater would be an amazing pattern to knit!! Good to see you guys again
My grandma had a similar motorcycle. She called it a friction racer. Wish I had it now
Oh my goodness you guys have really figured out how to have fun! I love it.
Oh my!! Those toys are amazing!!! Thank you for sharing!!! Love your dollhouses! So much inspiration!😊. From USA
I'm thinking, in 2024 we need Carlos' "Jazz hands" as a Christmas Ball motif! 🤗🧶
I’ve stayed in that hotel! It was amazing! I bought a watercolor painting right out in front as we were leaving. I think I paid $3. It’s hanging on my travel wall.
Lol, Arne you're a man after my own heart. I have so many ideas and buy the supplies and then find I don't have enough hours in a day!! Can hardly wait for your butterfly tablecloth pattern.
Great visit today. Thank you.
When I was on the Nordnorge in November, we went on the trip “Taste of Vesteralen” it was amazing😊
You guys should totally write a new book on dolls and their houses and attire. I bet it will be full of stunning patterns! ❤
Love the white tablecloth for this summer's crochet project, can't wait ❤
I love Lewis and Irene fabrics. The quality is beautiful.
Love your tin toys! Why are they not on display? They would look SO nice on a shelf.
Omg that small dollhouse! I had one just like it when I was little! What memories I had seeing that in your background 🥰
Thank you for a wondeful post on a chilly day--just the excuse I neede to sit and knit. I love hearing what you are up to. Thanks for sharing!
YES, I want your fabrics! Thank you.
I love the sweater design in white, red and blue!
Thank you!
Wow ! You two have hit the floor running with projects for 2024 ! I loved seeing the wind up toys, and that's great news about the fabric collaboration ! I hope some stockists in Australia pick it up.
Lovely to see you on YT today for a catch up ❤
Love SAKFAB and your blue kofter are beautiful. 💙Great visit as always. Have a wonderful time enjoying being home!
Love to see the doll house. It looks beautiful ❤
Arne, you are thinking of The Pied Piper for the mouse guy😄
Arne, do your talents have no bounds
Cannot wait to see the tablecloth with the flowers and butterflies. I'm eagerly awaiting the fabric line, too. Love the tin toys, and I understand you wanting to find them for yourselves, Carlos. I collect elephants, and I too like to look for them. However, my daughters (in-law) like to surprise me with all kinds of elephants. Because of them, each one they bring me holds a special place in my heart, but I still prefer to hunt myself. Love the tip about the wood glue and sawdust, before applying the spackle. My husband is like Arne: more king crab! See you soon! 🥰
I love your metal toys. I had that duck, but gave it away.
Nice to meet you again. It's so pleasent to see your new works.❤.
I love your collection of wind up toys, Arne.
Hello from England 😊
Listening while finishing up a hat. Really looking forward to the crocheted pattern and wishing I could afford a knitting cruise. Thanks.
