Akira is going to be such a fun cat to watch you raise, he has a very bright, bold and outgoing personality ❤ Omg...your embroidery art is AMAZING!!! Like...gorgeous! Ugh...I totally relate to the overwhelming yard work...i went out and pruned my rose and as I looked around at everything else to be done, I nearly shut down...but...I keep checking one task at a time off the list 🎉 Of course seeing the little improvements inspire more energy to keep on track to completion. Love all our videos Sarah 💕 You inspire me. Thank you! Toni

Hello ☺. Oh my goodness my cat Tally is the twin of Floki, they could be brothers. Wish there was away for me to send you a piccy here? Along with his sister Luna, they are giving me such comfort and campanionship, especially as I lost my beloved husband Terry back in December. Good that you are keeping the kitty in for around 6 months, always best, then they bond and stay close. The court yard is lovely, a little sanctuary. Don't tidy it too much though, remember the birds and bugs don't like to too tidy! A nice sounding windchime would be nice too? Take care of each other .... Sending you both love, light and springtime blessings 🌷🐰🐤🐈🐱🐾 xx

The nice thing about a free standing umbrella as opposed to a table one is that you can move it around for shade in different spaces and working in the garden. I've always thought it was a charming little patio. Looking forward to what you do with it for this growing season.

Sarah, here in the Pacific Northwest, USA, I run into problems with pottery cracking during the winter.. and it has to do with water ..and freezing. Here’s what I do. I empty out the pot and bag up the dirt ..if there’s a plant I need to save, I bag up the dirt around it and put the plant in the shed where it can still get light. I then clean out the container and turn it upside down. I let it drain ..and completely dry out..and cover the drain hole with saran wrap and then turn it right side up ..and fill it with newspaper ( you could fill it with Styrofoam peanuts or any of those kinds of things as well) . I seal the top with some more saran wrap and a bit of twine and then turn it upside down again and set it in the shed…if you leave it outside, you’ll need to wrap it in burlap with a few more layers of newspaper around it. If your shed freezes, I would say put more newspaper underneath the pot. This should save the ceramic/pottery container. My temperatures here range from 15° to 30°F and sometimes we get a little lower than that. ❤️

I particularly appreciate the background music you use. It is calm, relaxing, and non-intrusive. Happily, it isn't louder than the dialogue. I am a Canadian, married to an English husband from Lancashire. He spent 9 years in the British army and was stationed often in Scotland. He loves it and says if he won the lottery that is where we would move. I spent 10 days in Aberdeenshire at Castle of Park at a writing retreat/course near the village of Cornhill. The course was held in the fall and I totally understand your comments about the beauty of that region in the autumn. I am looking forward to watching all of your vlogs. Your art is stunning. I love watercolours. Cheers.

I’ll share mine but I think it’s more of a suggestion about patio furniture. I live in the rainy Pacific Northwest (USA) and outdoor wood furniture just doesn’t hold up to our weather unless it is covered. I’ve resorted to using metal outdoor furniture because it doesn’t rot. Anyway, it’s something to think about. Enjoy the day!

lovely fur baby. I had my grandkids in my craft room and their choice was to paint, so of course we did. One of our 3 cats,aptly named Trouble, entered into the fun, insisting on some petting between brush strokes. After the kids went home, I noticed mysterious blue pawprints on a few of our masterpieces and further exam of Trouble found her sporting blue paw pads along with random blotches of blue on her back compliments of loving pats from our young artists. We have a log home built by my husband with open rafters and basically it is a big cat climber.

As soon as I get to doing the front garden I gonna get some for me, for sure ! New fur baby 😍...I mean, how much more adorable can you get! It looks like they are going to be the best friends in no time at all, no cat is going to groom another one if they disliked each other! That would be counterproductive and totally not "cat". I love your videos because I always learn something new, this time it was your embroidery, never seen anything like that before. I know Chinese embroiderers do landscapes, basically,painting with threads, but yours is totally different and so you, love it! Amazing work! P.S.: a little bit worried about that plan of making a table with, basically, a hammer and nothing else, but, on the other hand, I have faith in you and am pretty sure, that you are capable of doing anything you envision and do it well!
