Hey there! My name is Abby and I recently bought a MAJOR fixer upper house. I am SO excited to work on fixing it up this old house and turning it into my dream home. I can’t wait to take you on this journey with me! I am planning to DIY as much as I can and learn so much about home renovations along the way. I am starting out totally clueless so I am sure it will be a grand adventure! Follow along on my channel if you want to see DIY projects, renovating a house on a budget, and I am sure a lot of craziness along the way! I’m just a girl with a drill and a dream.

You have a knack Abby! Looks great. Good for you!
I see the next "Martha Stewart" in the making! I have followed you from the start and deeply admire your spirit. A Grandma Susan from North Carolina.
Just hint when you are soaking your foam do it with water with food packets that came with the flowers… lol was typing cut at 45 degree angel and you said it… you are doing great!😊 also your main flowers which is your Gerber daisy in 3’s
?Thrift shopping in near future!?🤗🌺
Congratulations on your Horticulture.
The cats can retire on your investment and take care of things.
You are so talented!
Buy a Farmers Almanac it helps you on how and when to plant and also starter plants .
Abby. Some plants are developed to grow in different climates where they normally would not grow. Research is your best friend.😊
I love fresh fowers to especially in the winter! It’s about time to get new ones!
The stick in the gerbet daisy item is there so it won't fall over. The flower is heavier than the stem.
Buy an Amish build green house so you can keep plants in that aren,t for your area zone . Then in winter months may be put a heater in there to keep warm .
Pretty flowers!
❤❤
Very nice Abby and as you do more flower arrangements they will be even more stunning. Thanks for sharing.
Down here in Texas, eucalyptus is a tree
I’m in ND (Zone 3). A few of my favorite perennials are delphinium, echinacea (purple coneflower), asters, sedum, yarrow, columbine, hardy geranium, dianthus, and daylilies. I also love campanula, bee balm, coreopsis, penstemon and astilbe but they don’t always make it through the winter for me. Cosmos are the sweetest looking annuals and easy to grow. Have fun, Abby!
Abby it turned out well,I think you could have put a taller flower in the middle of your arrangement.But as you say you like it and that’s all who matters.Try looking up gardening cut flowers for your arrangements….i have grown straw flowers they are great you will enjoy them.Happy flower arranging.🥰🌺🌺
Fill in with the
Greenery first
Abby, then your
Pops of color. You need the
Different hts of
The green an the
Larger wider color or both. 😊😊😊😊
The third gerbera daisy was what your arrangement needed. ❤
Later on take a
Floral class on
A day off. It's not
As easy as you
Think. But I live
Yours you just
Created, very lovely. I love the
Real deal. An you
Can grow your
Own.😊😊😊😊🎉
Beautiful first try! That's why you need bushes and trees that you can also have fresh vasas in the winter.😊
Lilies are extremely toxic to cats. All parts of the plant (leaves, petals, pollen, vase water). I was planning on planting them, but my cat is indoor/outdoor so I passed on those. Regenerative and Garden Answer are both excellent channels for flowers. The zinnias will blow you away. They are amazing and have a good vase life.
It was fun to watch your arrangements come about. Very pretty.😊
gerbers have the straw on them to suppot the stems as they are a softer stem and will weaken 🙂
Abby, you might watch Nick's Backyard Blooms. He just started Lisianthus, so he might a good resource for you.
Tie a string around the bouquet…
Pretty! Look into flower frogs. They will help hold your flowers up.
Maybe put in a pot and bring in in the winter. Try gardening answer for another reference. She is great.
Love the flowers , Hope you put water in the vase , they will last longer 😊
I have learned a lot from Flower Hill Farm in New York State in starting seeds for my home garden. Trying sweet peas this year for the first time too. Lisianthus take forever but so worth it!
Abby, you are a lady with many talents. The flower arrangements look very professional 😊
PG here, I love how you complement your work as you go along. You can not have someone like a school teacher watching over your shoulders, complimenting you, giving you self-worth and value. But if it is good, say so. If it's bad, say so. It is an internal encouragement, and you strengthen yourself to live as an individual. You won't "need" people to compliment you. (Just explaining the compliment, I'm sure you understand already. You do it. We are at the end of the video. I was going to say, "it is beautiful," when you said it! LOLOLO. It is beautiful! Good Job! It was heart-shaped. For Valentine's Day! Doollies or coasters to protect the furniture? (I wasn't sure how to spell it? Doilies (often affectionately referred to as "doolies" or by various spellings like doily, doiley, or doyly) are ornamental mats typically crocheted, knitted, or made of paper that serve to protect fine-wood furniture from scratches, water rings, and stains. When placed under vases, bowls, or lamps, they provide a protective, decorative layer that allows the surface of the underlying table to show through via their openwork design. Maybe a viewer will send you one. Not me. I never learned to be proficient at knitting and crocheting.
The third Gerbera finished it off beautifully 😍
Look up leucadendron. The foliage that you didnt know what it was looked like some leucadendron we have in New Zealand.
I think what you called carnations are the miniature version we call pinks.🎉
Hi there,
I loved your episode today. I tried to grow cosmos last year and it didn’t work. I’d love to know what you found in your research on how to grow them successfully.
The one article I read was you could just place the seeds where you want them, cover with dirt (not too deep) and water. I did that but nothing came up. I live in Albany, NY, zone 6a or 6b. I’d love to know some gardening secrets.
That was really fun to watch you enjoy flower arranging.
Abby, I watch a lady in England who is a flower grower. It is Common Flower Farm. She gives great advise on sewing seeds, arrangements etc! I think you might like just taking a look at her channel on you tube.😊❤
Nice
