The amount of talent this woman has is next level!

OMG - they are sooo pretty! My inner child (I'm 77) woke up and just wanted these little houses! Have you ever thought of building a doll's house from scratch? These houses look more "christmassy" than all the stuff you can buy for a lot of money! Please keep going!

Thank you, Sybille! I’m so glad you liked my little houses!😊 I just now understand the fascination with dollhouses and fairy gardens. (I have two boys-in their 20’s now- and my little niece likes Legos more than dolls, so I’ll have to make a dollhouse for my future grandchildren.)🤞

It's two years later, and I just saw this. WOW!! Everything you do is like magic! It's amazing how talented and incredible you are. I LOVE these houses!

Dear Lord, Women, you are extremely talented. Such great ideas to create. Please, keep sharing and shall definitely keep watching and trying some of your projects. Absolutely adorable 🥰

Thank you, Liane! 😊. You are so right about work. I look forward to going to my craft room every day!

Another fantastic idea. The printed XMAS lyrics were the perfect addition.

I was totally in awe. The detailing of each house was so perfect. This is much better than store bought. Absolutely creative

I cannot believe the details on these! Your creativity is remarkable!

Those are adorable! I will definitely build myself a Christmas Village. I remember my older brother in 5th grade art class built and decorated a little styrofoam Christmas house. All the kids built these to give to their mother's for Christmas. Never to go half way Tim rigged up a real electric porch light that plugged into the wall! This was back in the 1960's long before the age of solar farie lights and battery operated candles. It was the first light to come on at night throughout the Holiday Season.

Dollar Tree is now $1.25 unless they are the 'Plus' store with $3 and $5 items. These are so imaginative! Very creative. Love it. ❤️

I watch several crafters and I have to say your things are in a class of there own. Thank you for so many wonderful ideas and inspirations.

I loved watching you decorate the tiny houses. So much fun. Turned so sweet.

These crafts are just precious. I love them! Don’t blame you for keeping them. ❤️

Holy cow......brilliance!! Tire swing, ladder, shutters.....love them to the moon!

Absolutely my favorite!!!! Outstanding job on all of them!!! I plan on making one into a gingerbread house ☺️. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I’m truly impressed with your Christmas village, I think it’s so very nice! When I was a teenager my mom unbeknown to me had been collecting little ceramic small house’s just like the pictured one so when she finally got 3 buildings a Christmas village was formed on our fireplaces mantle. That was special. But it has been lost. This is a wonderful reminder of that time. Now this gives me a good idea,!

Your channel is my absolute favorite. And your voice is so patient and calming while you thoroughly explain the steps for each project. You’re the Mr. Rogers of crafting! I am definitely going to try this project!

I live in a farmhouse, on a farm and in my downstairs living room I have a fireplace that takes up an entire wall. The hearth is about 12 feet long and knee height. Every year I look for ways to decorate the hearth and so far I've not found anything I love. I LOVE this village and I am going to make one for my hearth! With that much space I can really stage it beautifully. Thank you for this, another Stunning idea!

So many of the projects I see on You Tube are labeled as “simple” but turn out to be brainless and pointless. This, on the other hand, is absolutely brilliant. WOW!! I am so impressed and fascinated by your creativity. I already have a few of the houses so now I have a worthy project to use them in. Thank you so much for sharing and for the time, effort and thought that went into this video. BRAVO!

With my cup of afternoon coffee I sat down to watch one of my favorite KZread crafters and by the end I was almost in tears! For me, watching you is like watching an artist at work, not just any "crafter". I adore how your little houses came out. The details were perfect and nothing overdone.

Very fun and reasonable expense, I can't buy the wood at these prices and the house is basically finished except the bling. Love it!

The Christmas village is so adorable. Love all the houses and the details, the lights add warmth and coziness. Thanks for sharing

What a most beautiful project and what a love for detail. I would have kept those too. So well done, dear Sherry. You inspire me.

I am amazed at your attention to detail, patience, and creativity. The houses turned out so beautiful. I really liked the traditional colors.

I love doing this! I decorated flower pots, painted them and made a scenery like a beach with sand, small tiny shells and so on

This looks like it was so much fun to make, and the outcome is the most adorable Christmas village ever! 💕 🎄

These houses are just about the sweetest pieces of Christmas home decor I’ve ever seen!!!😊

The houses were the best! I would keep them, too. Adorable.

What a fun project! One that could go on forever! Very cute!!

Wow Sherrie! You really know how to take crafting to another level. I love your attention to details and and your creative vision on something many of us would overlook. I really enjoyed watching this.

These are just lovely. So much better than any “store bought” Christmas village. I ‘m glad you are keeping them. I’d like to see “nature” ornaments for gift giving but will be here for whatever you do!

These will make a perfect Christmas presents for all of my grown children. I am going to start as soon as I get out of the hospital and am up to getting around.

Oh my goodness, Sherry!! It's so beautiful, it made me cry when you turned on the music!

The details you skillfully create are incredible! I went thrifting yesterday got several holiday things to up cycle for my holiday sale. When I got home I found a little table made of fancy dowells and a round piece of glass for one of the 2 levels. It's got a oriental look. This morning I went over it with stain wax to cover worn areas. It will sit on a table as a riser for the holiday sale one month from now. The stack of boxed sale items is getting huge! 🎄😊🎄

That is the best little village I have Ever seen! Such tedious work that I don’t think I could do!

I almost laughed out loud at the end when you said you saw them on your bookshelf and knew you had to keep them! I love cozy lights around like that in the evenings. Your attention to detail makes me feel inadequate even though everyone tells me how creative I am. Lol. I need to make time to create these. Honestly ..how long would you say it took you to make them?

I love them in the book cases. Makes the house “warm”. I use something similar in our house at Christmas

I have no words for just how much I live your little houses! I can’t wait to create some of my own. 🥰♥️👏🏼👍🏼🙌🏼😲

I went and bought a bunch of these birdhouses and I did go ahead and buy the one with the slanted walls. I'm going to glue tall legs to the bottom of it and windmill fan to the top and turn it into a windmill for my Christmas village! I just think that will be SO cute!

These are enchanting! I want to live in that village!😊 I'll be looking at birdhouses in a new light from now on.

Oh the magic‼️ What a treasure these little houses are‼️

And you even added little critters, perfect! 🐇🏠🦌
