Postponing our Valentines Livestream! New livestream will come later this month :D
Added 2023-02-12 18:59:00 +0000 UTCHello!
I mentioned in our last chat that I planned on doing a Valentines livestream this month. Well, I have been playing with different plant based chocolates for decorating and so far... they're terrible! So instead, I'm going to wait till I have something really neat figured out to share with you :)) In lieu of the craft-along, we'll be doing a fun livestream at the end of the month; where I'll feature all of the treasures that went into those baskets for December's contest :D
The guest room is still underway and as I mentioned in January; this will consist of three episodes that will all be released in the same week! February's Patreon exclusive will feature how I created the wallpaper. March's episode will delve into all the tips and tricks of decorating a really amazing guest room. The third episode will be a public video covering the broad strokes and will feature the before and after elements :)
This project has been months in the making so I truly appreciate your patience! They will be coming most likely the first week of March, so If it's a little quiet, that's why :D
I can't wait to share this with you!

I love Hercules candy! I’m in Texas but we saw them on YouTube and my husband surprised me and ordered for my birthday in February. It was amazing!

2023-03-12 07:31:35 +0000 UTCAs a new subscriber, scrolling down and seeing the “cat head in a heart” design for the first time I thought “she made Victorian hair art with her cat’s hair”. Then I realized it was chocolate and thought “No, she wouldn’t use cat hair for art. Only I’m that crazy”. Then I saw your cat hair feather video. Lol.

2023-02-17 23:34:03 +0000 UTCMost good dark chocolate should be vegan. Tony's Chocolonely dark chocolate bars are; PLUS they have the best supply chain for making sure their chocolate doesn't come from slave labor and child trafficing! Remember to always look for sustainably farmed chocolate, and chocolate that's humane to humans and children, too!

2023-02-15 10:36:52 +0000 UTCAs always..Perfection! Thank you for sharing your curious creations with all of us. My daughter and I are devout fans! My daughter, Madelyn, is 13 years old, and has been a fan of yours since she saw the first episode of Curious Creations with Christine McConnell. And understandably so. Because she is like you in many ways. She has a love for the darker and curious side of things and believes wholeheartedly that weirdness is a unique and beautiful attribute that should be valued and shared with the world. And she is not afraid of diving into the unknown. It can be quite the adventure. I'm so very proud of her! Thank you again for sharing your amazing and many talents. You're an inspiration to us all. ~Your forever adoring fans, Amber and Madelyn (aka Madi)

2023-02-14 17:26:51 +0000 UTCThat's absolutely amazing Christine! I don't know how you'll ever top this, but I think that all the time and you consistently do top yourself over and over. I'm convinced that you have super powers.

2023-02-13 03:48:06 +0000 UTCI prefer projects to the live streams...
Jennifer Campbell
2023-02-13 03:28:04 +0000 UTCMe? Patient? Not gonna happen! But Christine never disappoints!
Sarah Cortez
2023-02-13 02:36:09 +0000 UTCI can't wait. I think I've said it before but I'd never heard of decorating for Valentine's before, until YouTube. It seems weird to me that you would decorate for it. Anyway, I've seen a couple of channels do "Val-oween" instead and then saying they'll just leave the decorations up till Easter. Maybe more people can get on board the the Val-oween trend 🖤☠️🖤
Liana Palumbo
2023-02-13 02:09:14 +0000 UTCThose look amazing!

2023-02-13 02:05:00 +0000 UTCCreating all these beautiful things take time! We can wait 🥰

2023-02-13 01:14:03 +0000 UTCDoes anyone know how to watch the live streams on your roku? I know other people have mentioned it but I can’t seem to figure it out. Lol
Liz Balmaseda
2023-02-13 00:35:04 +0000 UTCWow, I'd Love to learn how to make the chocolate box!!
DeEtte Cunningham
2023-02-12 23:56:03 +0000 UTCI counted 10c cats in the pic, not counting the figurine of a Siamese in the cabinet. I think she may have 3 or 4 cats.

Paul and Lynne
2023-02-12 23:20:40 +0000 UTCOh boy! More to look forward to. (And a livestream in the beginning of March... maybe on my bday!) Are the kitties in the photo your mom's?
Leslie Langenegger
2023-02-12 23:03:34 +0000 UTCSo amazing! Love the pictures.

Brenda Hunt
2023-02-12 20:40:35 +0000 UTCDoes she have 7 cats?
Lisa Nelson
2023-02-12 20:36:12 +0000 UTCWhat? Wait! The box is edible? Did you record the making of the box? Its stunning! Have you tried Callebaut chocolate? The dark chocolate is suitable for vegans and great for making chocolates.
Germaine
2023-02-12 20:35:32 +0000 UTCI would love to try some of your homemade chocolates, vegan or otherwise! I'd love to try the ones you make, as they're undoubtedly better than what I'd make with a recipe, but if you share your recipe, I'd happily try that. Are you going to have an episode on creating that edible cookie box? I'd love to try that, as well. Looking forward to what you create next, Christine! :)

Melissa Kerns
2023-02-12 19:17:27 +0000 UTCMight also be good to check Keto or Paleo stuff, which is accidentally vegan many times. You need to add sugar though, since they have sweeteners or no sugar at all.
Tan
2023-02-12 19:16:25 +0000 UTCAmazing work it look so stoning!I can’t wait to see the episodes … have a fun Valentine’s Day!

2023-02-12 19:13:37 +0000 UTCWow! The boxes look amazing!! (even if they don’t taste that way) And goodness, I love the cat photo😍 My parents gave me a cat plate for Christmas that was from a flea market they went to. It’s one of my favorite things now. I totally see the appeal for collectors haha! That setup (cats included) is the dream! Maybe someday😻 Happy Valentine’s Day Christine!💘

2023-02-12 19:07:40 +0000 UTCHey Christine, have you tried any vegan chocolate from iHerb.com? Might be worth a try!
Tan
2023-02-12 19:06:47 +0000 UTCBeing a fellow cat lover I adore this beautiful photo 💗 The end of the month is great! Looking forward to more enchantment and inspiration from you.
