I love your sense of adventure! It's not about 'perfect', it's about the experience of trying all the many wonderful crafts and adventures life offers us.

I'm so grateful that you've dropped your "10 min rule". I'm binge watching all your videos & hate when they come to the "thanks for watching" part 😁

I enjoy listening to you chatter on about the various things you are making as I sit at my sewing machine making quilted pillow cases to go with my first quilt.

The baskets are wonderful. I like your cardigan, too, Kate. Just viewing this now, 5 years after you made it!

It’s way gone midnight and Im going through your videos, starting from the older ones. I love listening to you chatting. It’s like visiting a friend. You are a lovely sweet lady. Thank you for such interesting content. X

"THIS is a good cereal bowl." Don't know why exactly, but this made me laugh out out.

Kate that is a stunning basket. Can’t believe it’s your first attempt. How exciting

Can you tell that I have been going through all of your videos??? You are such an inspiration to try and do whatever you are wanting to learn, and like you, I have way too many interests and yet want to keep on learning new crafts.

Your vlog is the absolute best ever! I just discovered you recently and enjoy watching and listening to you everyday while I work on my quilts. I am a long arm quilter here in Idaho.. I make about 2 sample quilts for my local quilt shop per month..sometimes tedious. Such great company you are! THANK YOU for being who you are! Your house is great...your animals are adorable and you surprise me every day with the things you do!!

Thanks to Carlos and Arne I found your posts. Thank you for all the videos!! So enjoy them. Love the colors!!!

Hi Kate..love you heaps! Thank you for your chats, crafts, garden, chooks, Eileen, and the cats..just wonderful! Children today are often saying they are bored..a week with you would show them there is no need to be. Cheers from an Aussie. X Heather.

💙💙 the coffee mug! Great job on the baskets!

I love all the things you are into, that’s me to a tee. Take care ❤

Hello from Australia I am rewatching from the beginning as I have thoroughly enjoyed all of your videos so much thankyou lovely so much Kate💚💖💚

I’m so glad I started at the beginning of your KZfaq journey, Kate. How inspiring to see all your challenges. Never a dull moment, eh? I’d luv to learn pottery and basket making. Did weaving once and enjoyed it. My husband wanted to be part of my “yarn habit” and taught himself spinning. You inspired me again wearing your warm wrap and since he spins bulky yarn we can do a joint project. The deer bother all my gardening though 🙄.

You Miss Kate, are simply AMAZING!

oh kate, I am loving your videos, so much interesting info and you make me smile, you have such a beautiful warm energy, thank you for all you share xxxx

If I had to design a motto for you it would be “let’s make and grow everything.” 😂😂😂. Both baskets are nice! I’m going to look for them in your home (now, 5 years later)!

Basket Malarky and Norma, I'm so happy!

I just love your sweater! I would love a similar one!

You can make anything as you're a real creative and you've got the right way to live life and cope with novelties (please, forgive my English, I hope I've been understood 😂😂😂)

Looks like pottery would be fun to do. My daughter and I took classes painting pottery and they were fired in a kiln. Many years ago now. I still have the Santa and Mrs Claus we did. I put them out at Christmas time. I so enjoy your videos, Kate. And guess what? I sewed my two sides to the dog and realized after that they did not fit together. Yes, you’re right! Did them both the same. Some days my brain feels like parts have gone missing. Oh, well. What a job to take apart. 🥴🤪

Love the baskets, and the pottery, definitely a beautiful cohesive set and lovely for gifts too 🙂

Oh I love the idea 60 things in your 60th year! Unfortunately I've passed that milestone. I took a a pottery class in College years ago and loved it. Always wanted to do more - not many classes offered near where I live but will keep my eyes open. Also took a weaving class years ago and really enjoyed that but had no space for a loom where we lived then. Took a basket making class when my children were little and made lots for gifts - only kept one for me. Took a lampshade making class with my Mother in Law years ago too - We had fun w/ that - also made lots of presents. I love learning new crafts and skills.

I admire your pottery...very clever to glaze everything the same. I have never noticed that everything is a different size. There are so many uses for small bowls. My daughter always gives me large assortment of small, mismatched pottery bowls when she delegates me to make the mirepoix for the complicated French menu she loves to create for family holiday dinners. I have a collection of small pottery pitchers that I use when making tea for my friends (some, like me, like whole milk, others prefer skim milk and one friend, who we swear was a kitty in another life, prefers cream). That way, the table is not cluttered with large containers with people waiting their turn while their tea becomes tepid. Recently, I found that I needed a small bowl to hold my rectangular pieces for my EPP dog!

Love watching your video's, thank you for sharing xx

Hello i loved this episode and i love your cat norma shes so beutiful and your basket thats awsom im just getting into needle felting so your wool is beautiful colours

Kate, I could visit with you over a spot of tea or coffee for hours. I just love your chats.

I have some Willow Baskets that have been made by a woman from my Native American Tribe. We are Chippewa. But I am half french and half Chippewa. Your baskets turned out perfect for your first ones.

what an inspiration you are Kate

I'm just catching up with you Kate. Your baskets are really nice for just two classes! I'm sure mine would be all wonkey! I like the colours in the pottery, lovely! Thanks for sharing.

We have a running joke in my mother's family... Our relatives are always much busier once they've retired than when they had jobs!! That's a bloody good basket for a first time!! Also, Willow makes beautiful live fencing, and we use it in the costume industry for cheap hoopskirts!

Your pottery is gorgeous, I love that they are all the same colours but not the same shapes.

Very well made. 😊

OMG I don't know where you get the energy to do all that you do? I would absolutely love to make a basket and also learn how to spin. I am a quilter, have made pottery many years ago, (btw you definitely can call them a set) I can't garden anymore never was a big fan only because my back hurt and I crochet, just learned how to do Tunisian crochet. Kate I really enjoy watching you and seeing what you've been up to, Fantastic!

Absolutely loving your videos. So glad I found them. I will watch them all. Thank you so very much for sharing your home and life ❤️

This vid warms my heart. Reminds me of my crafty friend from age of 5. We magically were having our children at the same time. We would meet midway between our homes to do some classes - sewing children’s clothing, quilting, felting, embroidery - what ever took our fancy. We always talk of doing such again though now we live 5 hours apart. Thank you for reigniting this passion.

You are very good at baskets AND pottery...I'm impressed. Very clever to make all the pots the same colors so it all looks cohesive if not identical.

Lovely basket!

I love making things too. Your baskets were wonderful. So pretty and useful. Your pottery is lovely. Each one just a little different. That makes them interesting.

Another brilliant video Kate showing your excellent skills. I love the baskets and your colours of your pottery. My favourite is your first finished basket with the roving in. It looks very professional, lovely colours. Thank you for sharing Kate.

Yeah friend of mine in Denmark she makes baskets weave baskets out of paper paper newspapers stuff like that look really nice

I love what you doing fab, there was courses here in East Sussex far to much money i dont know what it is but they never think about low wage people or people that not working sad i say.

Kate, I love watching and listening to you! Thanks!

Your baskets have turned out so well!

Hi Kate. I was taught to make baskets years ago so I could teach the basics to the residents in the aged facility I worked in. I too really enjoyed doing it. We used reeds, red hot poker leaves and Watsonia, which is a native here. Willow is a weed here so not easy to find free. It’s amazing the colours that nature provides

I love your baskets and pottery. Perfect glaze choice and how it unifies all the pots.

love the pottery

FANTASTIC, KATE...........BUSY, LEARNING, FUN, SHARING.....THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I love everything you do! Always learning, and teaching us in kind! Brilliant!

Love your baskets and pots...the pots in particular are lovely. You’re so talented and energetic... ❤️🇦🇺

Beautiful! ❣️That's what your baskets and pottery are. Such talent-✨

I have been wondering an your lovely sweater since the beginning of the video, it's beautiful. I love green. And open sweaters are very comfortable. You did a great job with that sweater and those baskets.

your level of energy is amazing!

You Miss Kate bring such joy to my day. Thank you ❤️

I've never made a willow basket but have done many in rafia splints. I haven't made any in years but stillahve the materials. I may get started again after watching this!

Pretty pots, candle sticks would be nice.

Have you done all your 60 things yet? If not what is left on your list to do ? Have a beautiful week Kate lots of love and hugs x x x

I am enjoying your videos so much. Thank you for sharing your life with us!

Howdy 💜🇺🇸🙋‍♀️ What is the old saying about idle hands. You keep yourself so busy your hands are having sooooo much fun learning new crafts which are translated to your brain as new skills thus creating new sinnaps In your brain . And as we all know Staying active in our bodies and minds is very very good for our longevity. So stay doing what you have been doing. This is a HUGE attraction to other creative people Signing off Scott's wife Vickie

Your pots are perfect - so timeless and they would be welcome in any home decor. Lids are problematic so why not cut thick cork stoppers, or 'basket weave' toppers, or quilt-like elasticized covers. Hope you are enjoying all your busyness as much as I enjoy your videos.

Absolutely love your pottery, Kate! My kind of kitchenware!

You are so creative!

Kate, you are amazing, you have so much energy. You really are an inspiration

Impressive work on those baskets.

Good job on the baskets too!

Baskets are fabulous. Always meant to learn but haven’t... yet. Love your pots, too. Clever to glaze them the same. Like you, I’m a Wheelie too. Still have several items left although most were gifted. My forte was covered casseroles and nesting mixing bowl sets. A pair of calipers are very helpful. Have you tried Pulled Handles? I love those. So unique. What a lovely chat today. Thanks. Enjoy your curry tonight. Yummo!

I’ve always wanted to learn to basket weave. Lovely, maybe after the COVID gets under control, I might actually get to make a few baskets for my garden. Yes, I’m doing a video binge now in 2021...Agape’ ♥️

Brilliant Kate xx

Adore the pottery. Would love to learn.

What a wonderful basket you've made! Especially for your first attempt. My Mum made baskets and taught me how, and her birthday would have been on the date you published this video. Keep making them, I love to hang out with you and your cats.

Kate thanks ❤❤

We have a similar goal:to make a pair of anything that are alike!!! I found your channel through one of your pottery videos and now have gone back to the beginning to catch up. I suppose it’s too cold to throw pots now. I do hope you will get back on the wheel when you can. Thank you for sharing your corner of the world! April, 2020

Good Job 👍

That is why we watch. What is she up to today? Love your baskets and pottery. 😍

I have never tried basket making or pottery. I may have to see if there are any classes here where I could go take a class or two. I just love your videos!

I love seeing you with you cats. They are so cute, but I am so allergic. So it’s hypoallergenic mixed poodles for my grand puppies.

Love that you’re interested in (and trying) so many things! We are sisters from different misters, I think! haha. I hope your family understands and appreciates the creative person you are. 💕

I wish I did Instagram since I loose replies with a bad fat finger but perhaps because I was not following my vow not to "speak until spoken to" and not feel like a stalker. Had a flash of lightening idea with the Baskets thing to share. Hope I can remember till I hear from you; I'm old and may forget.

Need to turn up the volume. Hardly could hear you. Love you're visits on the green couch.

Thank you for the finishing video. Love your videos and loved seeing all the dogs at the end. Your work is beautiful!

HOWDY 💜🇺🇸🙋‍♀️ HELLO AGAIN KATE THIS IS MY SECOND TIME THROUGH Signing off Scott's wife Vickie

I too am watching your videos from the beginning. They are indeed like being with a dear friend. I love your sweater. Did you create the pattern?

That is a fantastic basket, I 🥰 🧺

Been following your channel for quite some time, and have recently went back to watch them all from the beginning. Thank you so much for doing away with your 10 minute rule! Just wondering - did you ever make more baskets from your willow?

Hi Kate. I did pottery lessons with someone local and like you I never made two items the same size! Have now given that up but had a lot of fun when I went. Your baskets you made are great and lovely to see they turned out so well. Well done you!

Your son could cut out round wooden lids to go on your pottery put a knob on top of the lid

wondering if you've been to the yarn fest at Skipton? It's fairly new 5-6 yrs? but sounds like lots of fun, with all ages attending. All things wooley. "Yarndale" its called

Wow, your baskets!!

I had a 60 list too, but didn't get thru mine..

Fab idea 60 for 60. Would be intreged to see the list! Have u ever shared it. Would be pleased to see that list for inspiration..., 😊

Oh, Kate! I had no idea how long it takes to make a basket, but yours are lovely for your first and second. I mean I guess it depends on how large the baskets are, and how intricate your design is. Pottery, too,eh? You seem to never waste a moment. 60 things in a year? What fun to play every day. I’ve seen pottery in your style for about fifty American dollars per piece here on the web. Yikes! I almost bought 4 large bowls for salads, but then I came to my senses. Keep creating and sharing!

You are so clever. I always look at local courses and then ask my sister if she wants to go but she always says they’re too expensive or fattening (artisan bread making!) so I never go ☹️. Maybe I should just go on my own. It’s not usually as much fun but I would be learning something new. Are you planning any quilting courses? I looked at your website but couldn’t see any dates, was I looking in the right place? Thanks as always for an entertaining video.

Do you make your own sweaters?
