Hi Tara, you are so talented and creative, I am so enjoying your videos and your creative thoughts go along with mine. I love Stain markers and have a good collection.I do not trust myself to cut out the window and have it look good but I will replace the image. Thang you so much for sharing your creative knowlege.

I love this! This has always been one of my favorite books! I read the whole series, but this one has always been my favorite. Ever since I was little I collected tiny little bits and pieces of things so that I can make new things out of them.😂 I hope everything goes well with your house! I’m sure it’s frustrating to feel like you’re kind of in limbo, but it would definitely be worth it when you get to spend time in your beautiful new studio!

You could, but it would be smaller, and you may need to do something to the inside of the cap to even it out.

Thank you for this video, it's great. I have only just found it today after going on a bead hunt in our local charity shops so that I can customise my book nook and for other crafts. I do have quite a good selection of beads and bits and bobs so have plenty to start with. I want to make some lamps and have found that the those battery operated fairy lights with the fine wires and lights size of a small grain of rice fit nicely inside some of the crystal beads. Some chain from an old necklace to thread the wire through (it will need to be cut then it will enable me to hang it from the ceiling), reattach wires and hopefully fingers crossed I will have a` hanging lamp, that lights up. My friendly electrician says I should have no problem providing I get the right wire attached to each other. Now I want candles in candle sticks, flowers in pots, a world globe, glass in the book cases, a crotched cushion and rug, a cat to snooze in front of the fire and..... 😅😂🤣 The problem is once one thing is changed the more I want to change other bits to make them more three dimensional. If you are looking for a way to turn the lights on and off easily some of those fairy lights come with a timer and or a remote control.
