    Hehe, I can't even start a decluttering project if the house is upside down! I can't do anything! The house has to be tidy or I feel like "I shouldn't be doing this!"

    I had a swarm latch onto a shrub in my front yard, so I called a local beekeeper to collect them, he didn't wear the space suit he just took the Queen off the branch, popped her in a cardboard box and waited for the other bees to join her. I stood with him in the middle of it all, they were so gentle, unforgettable experience 😊🐝🌻

    Well done, you did a great job. Maybe very big press studs on the ties. The bows overwhelm your small frame. 💕

    Catherine you’ve done an amazing job on this sewing project. Lining and color are perfect on you and I love the bows, too cute and such a nice change from buttons. The kittens are adorable and kittens pulling your pins was too cute…. Little helper hehe I have a sewing machine and have seen small stuff but not enough confidence to tackle bigger projects like clothing. Well done my friend. ❤❤

    Adorable! Since you cannot make buttonholes, use large snaps instead, then sew a button to the front of the strap.

    Loved this video Catherine! I know exactly what you mean about minimalism - as I’ve got older, I’ve realised I’m not quite into materialistic things as I was when I was younger. I’m definitely I felt trying to adopt the “less is more” attitude these days. It’s all about making memories for me, so I’d rather spend my money on experiences and days out/travel/theatre than clothes. I have way too many lol😅😅😅😅

    Hello my dear. I have watched your garden grow for some time now. I love your greenhouse and all the colors you have in the garden. Just like you, I started my indoor plants during the pandemic. I started the garden many years ago. I love the projects you create since I love projects in the garden also. I enjoy watching. Keep up the great work. 👍👍👍👍

    I also experience sewing rage. At least once with every project I throw my fabric with a grunt. Currently I have a length of sweet Liberty fabric in a London theme that I'm going to make curtains for my office. I've had the fabric for months and am indecisive about what I want them to look like.

    Since you made dungarees for the garden, wouldn't it be cute if you added some floral and/or "bees" embroidery details to it.

    You're doing great! When I get "sewing fatigue", I stop what I'm doing, turn off the sewing machine, tidy up my sewing space, and start back up the next day. This gives me time to reflect on what I've done and plan the next steps. I take a very long time to finish a project as I trying my best for my project to come out perfect.

    Your left, bow, defo. Add darts to front panel to tailor it and bring it in, or elastic hidden to inside front, or to back, or tabs with popper buttons. Lots of options to bring in. Love those dungas ❤❤❤
