(Artificial) Victorian Floral Craft-Along this SUNDAY at 9:00 AM PST + an UPDATE :D
Added 2020-08-27 13:51:16 +0000 UTC
Goodmorning! :D
I am STILL working on the two BIG episodes! So I thought, let's do a craft-along so we can catch up while also doing something fun!
The reason for the episode delay is; this house has sat un-lived in for about 20 years and making it functionally liveable and safe for the pets and my captive was a bigger challenge than I anticipated... One of these challenges have been these ADORABLE little bats that I've been safely releasing outside :D
That said, I've NEVER been more excited about an episode as I am for the two that are coming and I hope the delay isn't too frustrating. The episodes will be posted at the end of next week :D
So in the meantime, I'm going to do a Victorian floral arrangement CraftAlong
Sunday Morning the 30th at 9:00AM PST! (I'm sticking with a familiar time zone to avoid causing confusion for now)
Things you'll need for this are:
A vase
Floral foam (Or I even use rocks and dry earth sometimes to balance the weight)
Wire cutters
Artificial flowers, stems, greens, accent's etc...
(I typically buy a bunch of options (holding them all together in the store to make sure the colors all work together) and end up using about 75% on the planned arrangement.
If you don't have time to get supplies before Sunday, this will also just be a fun stream to watch with some coffee or tea. I'll be sharing a bunch of useful tips which you can implement later on.
I hope you are all well and as one last teaser; I'll be giving an exciting update on my forest home in this livestream, which I can't wait to share :D
-Christine
Lovely little bat. They are great for getting rid of mosquitos, which here in Michigan, like to swarm us all summer long. My hubby and I enjoy sitting around a campfire and waiting at dusk to see the bats, silhouetted against the twilight sky, fluttering and swooping after their haul of insects.

If you put a bat box on your carriage house that will help!

That bat is so cute!! :-) Have you thought about building bat houses for some of the trees around your new house?
Cera Crowley

Bat houses are amazing!
Abigail Wildes
2020-09-11 12:08:15 +0000 UTC
Maybe you could put up a bat house somewhere on your property. Bats are kinda scary but so beneficial!
Tammy R Dowden

Actually that's a myth. Bats rarely have rabies.

Be careful of rabies with the bats. They are known for that. Don'y let them bite you. This move and house is so exciting and it will be fun to watch you make it beaiutiful. Now rush though. Take your time to settle in :)

Much love Christine, don’t put too much pressure on yourself for the episodes to be released so soon. Take time to get settled in, we’re in this with your for the long haul ❤️✌️. I’m so looking to forward to everything to come 😀
Lorraine Donaldson

There’s a wonderful book called The Sixth Extinction (it won a Pulitzer) with an entire chapter about how bats are slowly becoming extinct. It explains what that fungus on their mouths is-it’s a psychrophile (called Geomyces destructans) that was accidentally imported to the US, most likely from Europe. In the US it was first discovered in caves around Albany, NY. It’s so sad. The fungus eats away at the bats’ skin and causes them to use up their fat stores which get them through the winter. They either starve or get so dehydrated they die :-(

I’m so glad you’re safely releasing the bats—they are wonderful creatures and so important to the ecosystem. They eat insects and mosquitoes! If you get a chance watch the videos of Bat World Sanctuary. They rescue bats.

I would absolutely love to watch this stream live, but 3am Monday here in Australia is probably not going to happen. I'll just have to watch it later :D

You should put bat houses up around your property so the cute little fuzzies can still be adorable neighbors instead of roommates. :)

Christine! I just realized something! You mentioned Elvira. I believe you should look up the Dreizler murders. It may be some creepy lore if it’s the same family!
Natalie LaBayen
2020-08-28 16:03:20 +0000 UTC
I have no problem waiting. Buying and then moving into a new home is one of the biggest stressful events in one's life. And a new home with 24ish rooms that hasnt been lived in for over 20 years would put me right over the edge! Looking forward to whatever you do, when you can do it.

The little bat looks so cute, I just wanna squeeze it. When I saw the word craft-along, I'm like, "Wow, Christine made that bat look so real. Amazing." then I saw the other three words in front of craft-along :D

I love how everyone is so supportive.
My first thought was, “ its more than ok, girl take your time... we get it moving is a hard long process “ But its soo nice to see everyone is actually understanding.
That being said. Its always a treat to hear from you. Im looking forward to Sunday:)
Be safe.. those bats are adorable! Cant wait to hear more:)

Wait!!! You have bats as well?!? We have at least 30+ in our attic (last night at dusk we watched them...1 by 1, slipping out from a crack between the eaves & the roof)...We heard squeaks & “chatter” from the ceiling upstairs one day, so decided to go outside with a flashlight aimed at their gateway to the great “indoors”...

Take your time, you amazing person, you! We are so excited for more videos, but we appreciate you so much as an artist and understand big projects take time and will be worth the wait in the end! And making your new space safe for your wonderful family is the most important thing! You are the best! 💜

I want one of those cute bats at my house but not in it. I have been thinking of putting up bat houses which are basically flattish boxes attached to trees. As time goes along I hope you will be able to accommodate the welcome wagon, (those bats) into the the scheme of things around your property. They are great little bug catchers on a summers night. So looking forward to the craft along, I'm sure I'm not not only speaking for myself to say we've missed you, and looking forward to the updates.

Hi! So excited about the episode. We had bats once in a previous house. We finally had to call in the experts as they kept coming. They were relentless. If I remember correctly they released then 10 miles away from our house. It was something to do with the distance of their radar??? They can get in the smallest space.
Mary Sacco
2020-08-27 16:37:06 +0000 UTC

Oh my goodness, this is SO exciting. Thank you for taking such care of those beautiful bat babies (and all creatures as I know you do.) I too will be pulling out my Fall artificial florals BUT I'll also pull some of my Halloween goodies (like Karysa) and see what Christine inspires from there!

Of course we don't mind waiting Christine. These episodes take time and planning. Take as long as you need. I won't be able to watch the craft along live as I'm in UK, but I will certainly stream it at a later date. It'll be an interesting one for me as I'm a florist and have been for 16 years, so maybe you'll teach me a tip or two that I've never thought of. Or I'll just enjoy watching you create something beautiful.

I am so extremely excited for you!!! And I'm excited to learn more about your journey and your new house but I know that it will be 1000% worth the wait for "the big episodes"🤣 Please take as much time as you need! I'm sure you have soooo much to do to get somewhat comfortable in your new space which is priority #1✔. Plus I'm sure you'll have some stories to tell. I really appreciate the update and I think a craft and chat is a great idea! Can't wait to hear more about your new friends🦇🦇🦇🙃

Please be super careful In handling bats, as I’m sure you would be. We have them here in Massachusetts and they are protected and can’t be moved until the fall. If you can figure out how they’re getting in you can always make a bat tube. We had to do that in our 140+-year-old house, they slide down the plastic tube and then can’t get back in the attic. It is amazing though how they continue to find cracks in the framing, we have a couple up there now and are waiting to get them relocated. Best of luck I know personally old houses are wonderful but the work can seem endless.
Carolyn Ferrell
2020-08-27 15:26:50 +0000 UTC
I’m so excited for all of this! As someone who cleans for a living, I can say without hesitation I don’t envy the amount of cleaning you must have on your hands right now for a house that hasn’t been lived in that long. But I’m sure it’s all worth it and any treasures you find along the way 😁
Ryan McFadden
2020-08-27 15:17:30 +0000 UTC
Nothing goes as planned in a move! All good your following can wait for the big reveal. We all get moves are complicated. It will be fun to see how you create the floral arrangements you have shown in the videos before. And OH My GODS you have cute bats!!!! Seriously, do you like live in a movie? Are there gothic looking bat houses in a future video? Please say yes. Hugs!

I love bats!! But as someone who lives in NY State, you might want to double-check your local laws (and hopefully all your fuzzy children are up on their shots!) I know in NYC, if a bat is in your home with your pets, the city will send folks to take any unvaxxed pets and put them down, even if there was no direct contact :'-( - I dog-sat for a nice old lady some time ago who lost her kitty that way. It was a house cat, so she never bothered with rabies vaccine for it, but then a bat got in her apartment, it got reported, and they came and took her kitty away (not the dog, because it had all the shots). :''-( - SOOO terrible! I'd make sure it's not a STATE policy, just in case!

Look at that little sweet face! I need some floral in my place so this is great! Sunday is my birthday so I'm going to watch in bed with tea and get to the craft store later on the day :) it will be wonderful

One way to help with discouraging the bats from nesting in your new home is to buy/build bat houses and put them in your yard. Second to bees, bats are amazing pollinators and GREAT for pest control too! I adore bats, but having them in your house is definitely a problem lol

Yes! So excited about the craft-along! Currently recovering from surgery and have been stuck in the house even more than I already was! The bat is an absolute cutie!

I have to admit - I saw the photo and thought "Man her crafts are SO lifelike!" I thought the bat was the craftalong project. :D ~Very excited for you!

Can't wait to see you again! I probably won't have the supplies for the craft-along in time (I was *just* at Michaels last night), but I'll take lots of notes. The Manor could really use a few Victorian floral arrangements. Good luck with evicting the bats!

Looks like maybe a big brown bat :) you'll have to put some excluders or something up to prevent them from getting back in!

I am sure that having to cope with the bats is very challenging but somehow it just feel so appropriate. Christine McConnell in a Victorian mansion with bats is a whole mood :) It is so fun to get to follow this journey on Patron. Can't wait to see what happens next!

This is super exciting!! I definitely can’t wait for the big reveal once you are completely settled. Looking forward to your upcoming craft along. I may not have the supplies needed for this craft this go around, but I will definitely be tuning in and watching. Have a beautiful day, Christine 💗 by the way, I love the photo of the adorable bat you posted here, they’re so cute!! I love bats 🦇

Yay! I have to think of a color scheme I want to use for the floral arrangement. But thank you Christine! This is an awesome idea. And of course patience is a virtue, good things come to those who wait. I am so excited for your next episodes and I know you want them to be done correctly. I hope you and your captive and fur family are all doing well and adjusting to the move. Enjoy this process, for it is certainly a magical one!

Was just wondering how your house warming was going! Sounds like things have been a little “batty”! Had one of those just this past week in which I would love to forget! Not fun of no electricity (via the derecho Iowa experienced) and the feeling something just whizzed by my head! Hope your anxiety is low and your house is taking shape peacefully!
