2019-12-01 23:50:41 +0000 UTCHappy Thanksgiving, everyone! And, if you don't celebrate, happy Thursday!
Nicholas Frig
2019-11-29 03:14:29 +0000 UTCYou could make an e-book instead of an actual book, or a series of several e-books. Then combine them into one for publishing at a later date. You could offer them to patrons who stay for a certain length of time 6 months - a year etc.
Vicky Neish
2019-11-28 05:34:36 +0000 UTCI loved the setup of your first book what with the theme of seasons. I think you could do a second book with sections like that, but instead of seasons, feature some new projects from categories like woodworking, baking, photography/set design, etc! Whatever you do though, it will guaranteed be EXCELLENT and all of us on Patreon would be thrilled to see it. Hope you’re doing well and happy house hunting for your dream place in the East!

2019-11-27 03:32:25 +0000 UTCA Christine McConnell coffee book with photos of all your shoots including dresses and characters you’ve designed outfits after. But also photos of all of your baking and projects you’ve done so far. I would hands down buy your book!
Holly Bagley
2019-11-26 21:48:38 +0000 UTCSo sad I missed the livestream, but antique shopping took too long. T.T Is there any way you’d ever do a video for your wardrobe?
Hannah Lowenthal
2019-11-26 15:29:48 +0000 UTCFollow “cheap old houses” on Instagram. They post from all over the US, but a lot, if not most, are on the east coast. I love an old home with built ins 😍

Peggy
2019-11-26 03:41:13 +0000 UTCThere's a lovely legally haunted Victorian house in Nyack, NY for sale right on the water: https://nypost.com/2019/09/19/legally-haunted-new-york-manor-is-for-sale-again/ It's also not too far from Sleepy Hollow Cemetery ... which is not only home to Washington Irving, but also was used as a shooting location for Dark Shadows. Oh, and it's active... with plots available. That's all.

2019-11-26 03:19:28 +0000 UTCThank you for responding!! ❤ I watch them from my phone that might also be the problem as well.
Merina Lewis
2019-11-26 02:16:47 +0000 UTCIt's 35 Owen St. Eureka Springs, AR
Kris Rose
2019-11-26 00:48:50 +0000 UTCI watch from my phone which doesn’t let me comment during the streams. But I’m glad you had a good time in Salem. Soooo sorry about the broom. I work in Wilmington and at a large scale corporate printer but I would have packed and shipped it for you. I would loooove to see a tutorial on decorated lined boxes. And a gingerbread krampus would be adorable. You may also like the legend of the Christmas spider: I used to make those as ornaments as a kid. I think it’s a sweet tale. Where have you been looking for homes? Maine, CT, has some Victorians in Portland. Which isn’t far if you want to go to Salem. Here’s a few I found just in random areas on the East Coast. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/106-Lake-St-Moosup-CT-06354/2082336181_zpid/ https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/83-Dartmouth-St-Springfield-MA-01109/56208237_zpid/ https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/8018-Rominger-Rd-Sugar-Grove-NC-28679/102295151_zpid/

2019-11-25 23:54:32 +0000 UTCI once lived in Eureka -- what street is the house on? :)
Jamie Joy
2019-11-25 23:47:49 +0000 UTCI know you're set on the East coast, but may I suggest Eureka Spring, Arkansas? It's a Victorian resort town with tons of grottos and natural springs (hence the name) and it's got tons of super haunted looking homes. I just saw a listing for a Victorian house in need of renovation for $97,000. I bet you could get it for even less than that! There's so much to love about this quirky little town. I fantasize about buying an old house there myself someday. Just spend a few minutes on Zillow looking and I bet you'll find something you'd love to restore.
Kris Rose
2019-11-25 23:24:42 +0000 UTCHi Christine, just subscribed and watched your newest stream. You have mentioned wanting to buy a house on the east coast. May I suggest Richmond Virginia. It is steeped in history (as you probably know). The architecture is beautiful. A lot of victorian, gothic revival flair. Great place for antique hunting. Fun arts district. My favorite is the Edgar Allen Poe museum....anything Poe is a winner for me. Well, wish you happy house hunting.

2019-11-25 23:15:29 +0000 UTCOh man, I'm so sad I missed out on watching this last night! I had such a long day and I fell asleep on the sofa! 😂 You better believe I'll be up in the middle of the night to make cookies with you guys tho, I'm so excited for that 😁
Sarah Kane
2019-11-25 22:36:17 +0000 UTCFinally caught up - such amazing projects!! Can't wait for the episodes!!! I NEED to see that coffin box made! Was wondering about the bulbs: have you tried it with LED ones? (and if that's what you were using - sorry!) That might help with both the temperature and the life-length, and they make them in so many different strengths\styles it should be possible to find something that fits
Naama
2019-11-25 20:45:13 +0000 UTCI haven't watched it yet, what were the names that won?! I saw a lot of clever ones!!
Melinda Collins
2019-11-25 19:29:47 +0000 UTCHi Christine! Will you be listing the products or picturing the makeup giveaway so everyone can see what was in it?

2019-11-25 19:20:47 +0000 UTCHonestly, I cannot wait to see what Grant does with the music for the Christmas episode!
Nicholas Frig
2019-11-25 18:59:26 +0000 UTCI would love a collection book for each year/season of Patreon crafts and projects. You could offer it for sale with discounts based on tiers.
Jessica shipman
2019-11-25 17:40:49 +0000 UTCSelf publishing on Patreon is such a great idea! If you’re open to ideas for it a simple crafts book would be cool. Maybe a theme for it could be the things you love &/or inspire you. Your pets, people, tv shows, seasons etc anything goes :)

2019-11-25 17:14:17 +0000 UTCCongratulations to the winners of the contests, great names!
Nicole Richardson
2019-11-25 15:54:24 +0000 UTCI'm just self taught to be honest. I did a lot of reading on the subject and talked to other tintype photographers through Facebook. There is a page called "Collodion Bastards" you should check out on there. A book you should definitely get as a jumping off point: "Chemical Pictures: The Wetplate Collodion Book: Making Tintypes, Ambrotypes, and Alumitypes" . It a great start on learning the process. I called my business Ruby Bellows Tintype because my camera from 1915 has ruby colored bellows lol. I got into tintype because I was inspired by a box of old photographs my great grandmother had. Every photo in that box was a post mortem photograph of a relative and there were two actual tintypes of dead people (eerily fascinating, I know). I was so taken by that I decided to learn about the process and finally jumped in a purchased a camera and the equipment. You can see some of my work in my portfolio if you were interested: www.rubybellowstintype.com
Sheena Dorton
2019-11-25 15:44:47 +0000 UTCa suggestion for your book maybe a "coffee table" book for patrons of your past creations and projects, or perhaps one documenting the process of rennovating and decrating your new home.
Robin D.
2019-11-25 14:20:24 +0000 UTCSheena how did you get started with it? I'm a photographer and I've been dying to get into tintype or some other similar chemical process but there aren't really any classes in my area for it.
Katie
2019-11-25 14:07:16 +0000 UTCI would love any book that you want to make! I like the idea of an eclectic craft book with things like the lightbulbs and other little projects you might do around your house. That way you could include a little bit of everything you like to do.
Lauren M
2019-11-25 13:56:39 +0000 UTCI am so sorry I missed your live steam last night ( I live on the East Coast). I am looking forward to the upcoming videos!

2019-11-25 06:38:36 +0000 UTCAwesome, thanks heaps for that 😊
Heather Anderson
2019-11-25 06:23:20 +0000 UTCI love that your fur babies join your lives! Don't lock them up. Their appearances are adorable. 🥰 Also don't feel weird for making your own coffin or being buried with your baby. I took a pottery class in college and as my major project I made my own urn because I want to be cremated. When I die I want all my furbabies' ashes to be mixed in there with mine. For now they sit in their special little boxes waiting for me over the rainbow bridge.

2019-11-25 06:16:05 +0000 UTCI love that your fur babies are in the videos!! Don't lock them up 🥰 their appearances are adorable.

Heather Anderson
2019-11-25 04:53:24 +0000 UTCOh no. I missed it 😢
Alissa Case
2019-11-25 04:16:16 +0000 UTCI'm so sad I missed this, and just barely! I loooooove the idea of making your own coffin - I don't know if you would consider having guests/interviews, but if you know/know of Caitlin Doughty, she seems like a person to talk to about your coffin. And if you don't know of her, she's a young, goth, female mortician with a youtube channel who is spearheading a Death Positivity movement and green burial. She has a blog post about having a funeral for her beloved kitty that was just...so lovely. Having her on as a consultant or something would be like...my head would explode from two of my favorite mistresses of darkness collaborating on making a coffin and headstone. 💀💀

2019-11-25 04:16:01 +0000 UTCGreat live stream, thanks Christine! P.S. The bonus little craft project was a nice surprise. What a good idea!
Wednesday
2019-11-25 03:38:58 +0000 UTCLoved it!! For a book I would do something fun and easier like a photo book. You do take such great photos of things. Just pictures of your current house...I’d buy the book! I’m also interested in all the things you do to decorate your house. The wallpaper would be interesting. How you buy and restore things. I can’t wait until the next house!
