Your top is so lovely! The colour is fabulous on you. 🦉🧵🪡🌻
Thank you so much. It is a great colour and yarn.
You are fast. I only have seven of the frames finished for the 31 Days of Poe.
I wanted to get it done so I could start my Sampler September starts. hahaha
🧚♀️💕
Congrats on the MFE finish - looks gorgeous! I vote for doing a teensy start on Haunted Library...but then get back to working on your biscornu.
Thank you! and it looks like you have been peeking at my crafting! That is exactly what I did. :)
Not shabby at all..your finishes are fabulous. Modern Folk EmbroEmbroidery…so amazing! Bestitch me fabric…I want that colour. Terrific video. 🦉🧵🪡😊
Thank you much! I don't think you can go wrong with a chart by Modern Folk Embroidery.
Love seeing your progress and work. Progress is progress no matter how much it is, this is what I tell myself regularly. I hope your partner gets well soon and that you stay well. Happy crafting
progress is always progress, I agree. so far I am staying well, and my partner is feeling better. Thanks.
@@sticksstringsandotherthings That's good that you are well and that your partner is feeling better, I hope it stays that way too. You're welcome and happy crafting.
I love your thought process / hope on why you chose Sunday. Hope your partner has a speedy recovery (and doesn't share with you).
When you have as much yarn as I do you really have to think about your grabby hands habit. :)
Yes you have stitched me something, or at least you gifted me something you've cross-stitched.
oh right! I didn't remember. d'oh.
Lovely work on your pieces. I think you should make a small. Just to join in the fun. Have fun at your yarn flock thing. Happy stitching.
I think I will stitch a small. I think. Only time will tell, and I am running out of time.
🧚♀️💕
I'm envious of your knitting skills (and yarn stash). Love that Paris pattern...hope you can work on it a ton during the Olympics (but hopefully not at the expense of your weekend plans!)
The stash is rather epic. snerk. Paris is big, so I hope the work I am doing shows!
Loved your Nantucket, chest, sheepy thing! I've just finished Around the world in eighty days by Plum Street which has the same vibe but yours is the on steroids version 😂 As ever, great video 😊
I had to check out the Plum Street pattern, it's lovely, but yes, I think mine is that one on steroids. :P
🧚♀️💕
☕️ loved your video and all your projects. Makes me want to learn to knit.
Thank you! If you wanna learn to knit you should! Always fun to give a new hobby a try. :)
Congrats at reaching 500 Subs! I am not quite there myself. I am hoping to start a Peacock, Unicorn and a Badger at the end of December.
Thanks! You should start it! Join in the lots of stitching fun.
🍵what a great person you are. i too cross stitch, make socks (in nalbinding not knitting) also spin with a drop spindle and i weave
nalbinding is awesome! You rock if you do that.
@@sticksstringsandotherthings gosh gee thanks
You always make me smile. Congratulations on FFO and FO stitches. I choose the same as you with the single random stitch snowflakes. Ah yes…allergies…they tested me and then said there was one thing I didn’t react to…yup, I understand. Take care and stitch on.🦉🧵🪡🌞
Glad I can make you smile. That is one of the best compliments. Thank you. I will admit watching you encouraged me to do some of that FFOing. You are good motivation!
Am sorry to hear it is so hot come to Europe it has been raining with a nice breese here in the Netherlands Love all you projects, keep cool and happy crafting
I'd love to go back to Europe! The Netherlands is beautiful. And I'd love some rain too. :)
Loved hearing the bird songs. :-)
I too like hearing the birds.
The climbing sounds amazing, I was going to go watch the swim olympic trials with my daughter bc a college swim team mate of hers was trying to qualify but she couldn’t get off from work so we just watched from home. I think you got plenty done and so glade you had a good time. I do think if anyone could knit and drive it would be you lol 😆 anyway have a great rest of June…thanks for the video
heh, I have knitted when I have been stuck in traffic jams. I got a big bit done on a hat that way!
Hahaha! I like tent camping, but in the vein of Shelley Long a la Troop Beverly Hills, I much prefer camping in a hotel. ;)
And your MFE progress is looking so good. It's going to be a knockout when it's done!!!!
agreed!
Thank you.
That last project bag you showed with the Weeds and Wildflowers chart is absolutely gorgeous! No wonder you had to purchase it! Just lovely. :-)
It really is stunning. And it looks better in person!
Starting is so much fun, I just got out my Elizabeth Zimmerman projects lol they tend to come out together. I also am trying to stitch a piece for my daughter. Having similar mystery yarns would irratate me that’s why I don’t do clubs any more thanks for the episode
Tan is boring but I think that beautiful linen might be too dark
Also I didn’t buy the villain pattern bc I hated the whole she hasn’t been saved …. I might buy it now and change it but I am not sure I could do that lol
I loved the first year I did the Farmer's Daughter Sock Squad. They were all lovely. But, this year, I am just disappointed. The yarns are lovely, but I don't like pinks!
I was thinking the same. So, I'll floss toss.
heh. I had to get it, like I said, but I will change it. It's just words and a bit of time with some graph paper. :)
🌻🌻🌻
Gorgeous framing on those pieces! I consider everything I stitch to be a mental-health piece, because I use the stabbing stitching method.
Thank you! And I do agree, all crafting is mental health.
Love seeing your progress on all your crafts, as I'm a multi-crafter too and looking forward to seeing what you choose to start for your 50 starts. Take care and happy crafting. 💜
Thank you much. I am enjoying all my starts, hope you like the little progress they make this year!
My vote is for the stitchers chest, I've not seen that before and I do love a biscornu ....might have to investigate 😊 I'm not a knitter or user of yarn in any form but that hummingbird yarn is scrumptious!!
I have a lot of very old kits and charts. heh. Biscornu are fun to make so that might give me that push. :) Thank you.
Hi Leigh! I’ve fallen in love with your red Bristol Sampler and your Thriller piece is gorgeous too. I haven’t seen either of those before. I’ll enjoy seeing how you progress them.
I love Bristol Samplers. I am telling myself I cannot start another one until Jane is finished, but I have more waiting. I've had Thriller on the go for over a decade. It really needs to get some good work into it.
Being responsible is for the day job and real life, not for our hobbies😉 Your Poe finish is fabulous on that atmospheric fabric. Glad you got to see the Northern Lights. I missed them here and was so gutted because apparently they were visible five miles away. But it seems that it’s frowned upon to just leave your small child asleep in the house while you venture out aurora hunting 😉 Maybe another time …
ha! I agree, responsibility ends at hobbies. That fabric really makes that piece shine. I no longer have a small one at home, so it was just my partner and I running out to find the lights. I hope you get to see them some time. They were stunning.
I can fully appreciate your enthusiasm over the Northern Lights. We were told we might be able to see them here in North Carolina. I gave that a "What?!" response. I haven't seen any photos from my state, but from some others. So, it's still a bucket list thing. So glad you got to see them. :-)
It was really amazing. And now I NEED to see them again. :)
Here's hoping you do. :-)
Your Poe piece would make a great pillow, so that all the fabric is shown off. 🤔
ooooh. I had not thought of a pillow. Good idea!
Your strawberry finish is gorgeous!! I love that fabric!
I wanted to get the fabric for the Poe piece but I just couldn’t do it. I LOVE yours!!!!!!
Thank you! It was a really fun stitch too. The reds just pop off the navy.
I am glad I did the fabric for Poe. It is such a cool look. But the piece is such a great one it looks good on anything!
Another flight of fancy interspersed with stitching....love it!
Thanks again!
I would do the birdies but if you do the border you can cut the fabric and start something new. I love your hat and the poppy tee, I too am larger on top (well all over) and I often find that designers don’t really take that into consideration when modifying the patterns
Th birdies are calling to me. I guess we will wait til June to see what I choose! heh, yeah, bigger on top doesn't always translate well in clothes.
Wow! Your two framed pieces are stunning. 😍 Really gorgeous. I hope you enjoy them hanging on your walls.
Thank you so much. And I am loving them.
Hi! I like your mix of projects. That Witchy stitcher piece is amazing. Totally not my style but I think it’s brilliant and that’s why I love watching people who stitch things I don’t. I get to enjoy them anyway. Off to watch your latest and see how your 50 starts are progressing.
I love watching people stitch pretty much anything! Even if I wouldn't. They joy they get in their stitching is still contagious. Thanks for checking me out. :)
I do enjoy your flights of fancy and craft videos 😊
heh. Thank you.
I'm going to do Manning May, and "Aye, Captain."
Oh, nice. I thought about doing Manning May.
I love watching all of your videos and you bring smile to my face. Thank you. And if I’m correct, the quote is from The Hunt for October. I love me some Sean Connery.
Thank you so much. And yes, It is Hunt for Red October!
Enjoyed ❤
Thank you. :)
I love your fully finish piece it looks great, I am in Minnesota and we had clouds and no eclipse either boo. Uptown tee is beautiful. The sweater you are wearing did you make it? That color is stunning. I am debating starting a forest grew. My birthday is on 19, and I am starting my first full coverage piece. I bought mini cleatus by heaven and earth designs and everyone thinks I’m crazy but I love him. I just started the Olso sweater and the Simon shawl. I think you should cast on all the things. Any way thanks for sharing your work and have a great week
Yes, I did make that sweater. It is the Salty Air Tee. And Thank you, I will get around to finishing things... at some point. You should start A Forest. Just know, it has all the greens. all of them. heh
You are making great progress. I really like the colonel mustard in your Jacob piece and your finish is lovely.
Thank you. I like the bit of Col. Mustard too. :)
🌻🪡🌻
Like some of those choices for future cross stitch projects. May have to go on a search for "Moonbeam Tea" and "The Forest for the Trees". :-)
I started Moonbeam Tea today, and I am loving it.
I am so glade your foot is better, I was worried lol. Are you at Ching the granny squares as you go? I am currently making one giant granny square blanket lol. That natural yarn is beautiful and I wish I had a store like that here in Minnesota. Thanks for sharing your life with us and have a great week
I am glad about my foot too! I am going to do some kind of attach as you go for my squares, but I am not there yet. I was happy to find The Artful Ewe and I know I will be going back (hopefully after I have knit with the yarn )
You just need to knit your alpaca stealing cat a scrappy alpaca blanket maybe she will stop stealing yarn then.🦙
I have a feeling that wouldn't stop her and the thieving would continue. That, or in true cat fashion, she would ignore the thing made for her.

I’m bummed, I decided not to go to PNWSS this year 😢 Have a great time!
Aw. :( It would have been fun to meet you in person. I am sure it will be a great time.
Good morning from Maine. I just finished you're newest video it's awesome! I get the foot swelling my right foot still swells almost a year after surgery I find that a dandelion tea helps quite a bit. Just a thought😊 😊
Good Afternoon! hmm. Dandelion tea? I might have to try that. Thanks!
@@sticksstringsandotherthings your welcome 😁
I love your episodes, you are amazing, and your personality is amazing. I am so about the foot, I had that happen once to me, and it turned out it was plantar fasciitis, even though swelling is rare but my body was special, anyway hope you feel better soon. I live in Mn now we moved here from Ny and the first year I planted so much, it was nuts. Everyone still laughs at me and my enthusiasm
Thank you! They were checking for that too. That poor PA really wanted an answer. heh I've lived here for 2 years now, I think it's ok if I start planting things now. hahaha
