Miss Mustard Seed

Miss Mustard Seed

I am Marian Parsons (aka Miss Mustard Seed) - paint enthusiast, writer, photographer, designer, artist, and author of the book Feels Like Home (Sept 2021.)

This channel shows a progression of my business from my early years of painting and refinishing furniture and dealing antiques to my current passions of art, painting, and design. I just love all things creative and I love encouraging and inspiring other to discover and use their creative gifts.

In my videos, you'll find tutorials on painting & refinishing furniture, upholstering, making slipcovers, using milk paint, decorating, oil painting, and more. I am planning to add more videos on art supplies, design/decorating/art book reviews, art tutorials, and more.

    You are reading your pattern left to right. Normally, you read right to left. Is this because of where the thumb is? In other words, for the 2nd mitten, will you work right to left? I’m so confused, did 8 word that correctly? Reading left to right is really throwing me off.

    Nothing will happen. It just doesn't look very good especially if the staining really shows on the brick, which it did in our case.

    I see a lot of nitpicky comments and requests for someone not receiving any compensation to share her skills! This video series is so well done. I’m amazed how much effort was put into editing and getting the volume and lighting right. I’m making covers with a simpler technique and thrifted white quilts, but still loved these tutorials and will save them for the future. Thanks so much!

    This video is well intentioned, but has several issues. One, there wasn't enough emphasis on how incredibly small of a hook and yarn was used, so anyone trying this needs to have a specific size or it will turn out too big. Two the magic circle was done incorrectly (also why there was knots in it). Three, the pattern of increases was incorrect as well, specifically on row 2.
