Thank you for sharing Between Two Pines. After seeing it, I bought Emma’s book. Looking forward to seeing more cross stitch finishes. They’re looking great!
Thank you and happy stitching on your Pines . I had mine out this week to stitch on 😁
Loved this flosstube as I am a cross stitcher. I do remember your WIP's. Thank you so much for sharing. I have missed these flosstubes ♡
Thank you so much , I'm not so happy they are still the old WIPs 🤣
Glad you have your stitchy bug back!
Thank you, yes me too. I've missed it 😁
Ps . The butterflies look great now you have the 3rd one done on the bottom row. Topiary Garden is so very beautiful and lovely to see you have made progress on there too . 😊
Thank you 😊
So glad you have your stitchy bug back!! Happy stitching…………….
Thank you , I'm back to myself. Thanks for watching x
Wow your Bothy Bee and tulip finish is gorgeous
Thank you so much
These are massive projects. It’s good that you gave it a rest. Get back to what you enjoy. Seems like the butterflies were the last straw-finish that when you feel it’s a treat to yourself.
Yes sometimes a break is needed. Fresh eyes and a better attitude 😁 thanks for watching x
If you didn’t do another butterfly- I think you could put a sweet word in place of a butterfly and then frame it. Just found your channel today and enjoyed the parade ❤️
👋🏻 I am absolutely thrilled to see you back 👏🏻 I used to really enjoy watching you when your channel was Fancy Lady . I had wondered where you’d disappeared too. Anyway I’m starting with this film which seems like a good place because it’s a organisation of your old wips for going forward. It’s a great idea when you’re losing/lost your stitchy bug to do the knitting too and cover both. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this film and seeing all your fancy ladies again! 👏🏻 I shall continue watching from here and going forward . 😊
Thank you , I'm glad you found me again . I'm very much a mood crafter so sometimes I'm all about the cross stitch , sometimes the knitting. The best times are when I'm enjoying both 😁
So happy to sew your wipes I remembered them I usually cross stitch to give my hands a break but I love both I so enjoy your videos
I'm so glad, thanks for watching x
Glad to see you back with cross stitching, just do what ever is calling to you.
Thank you, yes I agree 😁
You impress me so much! I was just thinking how is it going for the weddinggift. I love follow everything you do. 😊
Thanks so much , I'm glad I've finished the wedding sampler 😊
So pleased to have come across you! I used to enjoy your cross stitch channel. Glad the bug is coming back but do what you enjoy when you enjoy it. Take care
Thank you , You too. That's always the best thing to do x
Love the snow Queen, you are very talented!
Thank you so much but it's the designer that has all the talent. I'm just trying to follow the instructions 😁
I love all your pieces definitely finish the butterflies no one knows it’s a temp chart . Through in some smalls so you get a quick finish that helps me .
So true , I love a quick finish 😁
The wedding sampler looks Great!
Thank you so much for watching x
You must finish those beautiful butterflies! They flew out of order when you weren’t looking! No one will know and they are lovely!
I agree with you. She could stitch that row in the same colors so that they will be uniform. Then start October the right temperature. I subscribed to see what she decides to do with it.😊
Thank you, I will 😁
You are so organised! I have so many cross stitch WIPs in bags. I only really do the American primitive type ones. I've done the one that's behind you with the little house. I have a Victorian Postman on the go which has been in a bag for about 5 years. Every Christmas my husband asks when I'm going to finish it. I have Little House Neighborhood finished and actually in a frame but with all the edges hanging out - haven't got round to mounting it. It's been like that for about 3 years. I've done various In a Garden (I think that's what they're called) - again, all still in bags. I just get inspired by something else and move away from things. Hopeless! At the moment, it's knitting frogs and other little animals.
As long as you are enjoying what your doing it's fine . Maybe you are a process crafter not a product crafter. Your not doing it for the finish 😁
Love cross stitch you have some pretty things to stitch. Good luck. I used to cross stitch every day but somewhere along the way I picked up my knitting and crochet and my cross stitch fell through the cracks
I reay need to pick it back up Thanks for sharing
Thank you , happy crafting x
TINA! happy to see your stitching again, you have such lovely projects :)
I'm so glad enjoyed it , take care
So pleased to see you, you were part of my inspiration when I started cross stitching, I copied your Kiss for Snowman as my first project, mad!!!!!
Welcome home xxxxx
You really jumped in at the deep end 😁
Lovely to see your stitching bug has returned. Love your knitting, but I loved watching your stitching projects too. We all have times when we lose our interest. Like you I can't have lots of projects on the go at one time 😊
Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the stitching chat . I think we all find our comfort zone for how many projects. It's just so hard not to be tempted by something new . Take care and happy crafting x
@@Simplyinstitches ❤
They are all so lovely, I had lost my stitchy bug too, but I'm getting it back. I love your butterflies and spring topiary garden, and all the animals. I need to get spring topiary garden it is stunning. Happy stitching Tina.
Yes it's a shame the chart pictures don't do the design justice . I never would have stitched Topiary garden if I hadn't seen it stitched up . Happy crafting x
I have the Celtic Christmas on the hoop at the moment and a Sal British isles catapillar cross stitch that enough for the time being
Glad you are getting back into stitching I think we all have phases of only wanting to do certain projects, I am in cross stitch mode at the moment , but I need to move my focus back to card making which I have neglected for the past few months and thanks to you I have a sock on circular needles and I am trying crochet, if only I didn’t have a full time job I could get so much done 😊
Good luck with your projects. You certainly have a lot going on . Happy crafting x
I lost my stitchy bug a while back and I've been knitting since then, but I've also felt like getting the huge pile of cross stitch projects out. Monogamous???? Don't be silly!!! Ha ha. Anyway, I think you're fab and so are your podcasty vloggy things!. You've really encouraged me with this one.
Wonderful, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Happy crafting, do what makes your heart sing 😁
Love the Bumblebee!!
Yes, me to . That series of designs make me smile. All the animals are beautiful
What beautiful cross stitch patterns you have. I hadn't seen a lot of those before. I would do one more butterfly on your piece and call it done, as it would make a beautiful picture framed. I was wondering what the patern was for the small Angel or girls face you have hanging on the wall behind you. Hope you find your stitchy bug again as its a wonderful way to distress and relax. ❤🎉🇦🇺
The Angel's are both Dimensions gold petite kits . I stitched them years ago but they are still available I think 😁
So happy to hear from you!
Thank you so much for watching x
HI Tina,,,
Lovely cross stitch,,,
Not doing it anymore,,
But love catching up with you,,
Elaine🏡🏡
Thanks for watching, knitting video today x
I have gone back to being a monogamous stitcher because having so many going at one time is very stressful for me. By doing this I will get several completed this year which is very exciting to me.
Yes, completing something is a great feeling. Well done for doing what is right for you. Happy stitching x
Glad to see you you dipping your toe back into stitchy waters! I hate it when I lose my crafty bug on anything. Just start where you want to and don't worry about the rest.❤
Yes that's the plan . I'm not promising anything, just letting my mood guide me 😁
If you aren’t enjoying it, what’s the point??
On Temperature Butterfly, you should leave it as it is. Pick up and finish from now on temperatures or look up the few months of temperatures to finish. Have a terrific week.
Thank you so much for watching. One more butterfly I think 😁
Nice to see you again Tina. Topiary Garden was my choice. I know how you feel about having too many WIPs out. Patricia
Good choice , I love that piece it's making me very happy. Thanks for watching x
Love to see you return to some cross stitch....I have actually gotten into stitching plus have a group in town that we meet once a month.
An idea of the butterflies.....maybe in the space write a phrase about crafting being fun not stressful. Then frame in craft room to remind you to enjoy the beauty of creation like your beautiful butterflies!
Excellent idea 😁
I love doing cross stitch. I used to take it with me while my kids roller skate. I would sit in the cafeteria at the rink and stitch away. Unfortunately the arthritis in my hands makes it very difficult to spend any good
amount of time. I do have a kit that is a stack of fine China tea cups. Wat hing this video has given me an itch to get it out. Thank you.😊
I'm lucky my arthritis is very mild and I'm able to work around it . I'm sorry it's preventing you from enjoying your stitching . Maybe a little a day will be doable on your tea cups x
Hi Tina, I'm glad to hear that you have your stitchy bug back again. Loved seeing all your projects, they are wonderful. I do think you sound finish the Butterfly project and frame it, it's be a shame to lose all that work. I really like the wedding verse, very thoughtful of you. I've just started cross stitching, really hood to get into it. It's easy to become overwhelmed with projects. I knit and crochet and lost my mojo due to having too much on the go. I listened to Davina, she said sad wanted to have one of each craft on the go at a time, I find doing this to be much less overwhelming Xx❤
Yes it's so easy to feel overwhelmed. It's important to know ourselves and what makes us happy. Hobbies should be fun . Happy crafting x
I am a monogamous stitcher as I could not stand the pressure of a lot of unfinished work just lying around. Nice for you to have a good sort out & see
what you will actually work on.
It's good to have a plan . Now I just need to stick to it 😁 thanks for watching x
Great video - for your temp butterfly - maybe just fill in the open space with a saying or quote? Or buy a paper flower to sew on the open space? It’s to pretty to keep in box
Thanks for the suggestion 😀
Glad to see you are stitching again. With regard to the butterfly pattern - why not just do another butterfly and then turn the piece into a project bag. I had forgotten you had completed Sewing Kitties and framed it - I think it was the one you were worried about not having enough of a border but it looks great.
Yes I nearly ran out of room. Thanks for watching x
loved seeing your cross stitch love the Bothy thread patterns but they are so expensive for us here. Happy stitching Patty
That's a shame . They are very reasonable here , often on discount . I assume it taxes that put the price up 😣
@@Simplyinstitches yes and the shipping I would guess
I was wondering how that ‘reading’ was coming along. It’s beautiful. Hope you’ll show us when it’s framed. OMG the Templar of prophecy - that’s an amazing piece, definitely an heirloom. Yep, one more butterfly and call it done. Well, that’s a lot! I don’t cross stitch but wow an overwhelming (to me) amount of work ahead. You have great taste and in your choices. Looking forward to seeing progress. One stitch at a time, right? No pressure 🤩
Thank you yes, one stitch at a time . No rush , it's just a hobby 😁
You amaze me with how much crafting you achieve, well done, such beautiful stitching too😮
There's a lot of years stitching in that box 😁
I remember the Templar piece from a while back. Absolutely gorgeous! Soooo much work , but beautiful when framed…sigh! (I’ve always been a dragon or griffin fan, back in my filet crochet days).
I have those projects that STARE at me too! Upside: put away=no stares. Downside: I forget about ‘em…
I like your idea: pull out a few to work on “now”. No stares, no pressure. I call those “Side Trips”, stop by for a visit if the wind blows in that direction!
Your work is stunning! Thanks for sharing!
Side trips 😀I love it 😁 . Thanks for watching x
Your The Templar Prophecy is GORGEOUS!!! Enjoyed watching what you have been working on. 😊. Now I want to go stitch!
Have fun , thanks for watching x
Wonderful stitching, great to see you getting the bug back. Seeing your past videos set me off into cross stitching again after many years. Just got myself one of those clip frames and have cut some fabric to make a project bag to fit! Have followed your video before to make some for my knitting projects. Have fun getting back into your stitching, looking forward to seeing your progress.
Wonderful , good luck with your project bag . I love a project bag in a lovely fabric . Happy stitching x
Hiya Tina. What a great trip down memory lane. So lovely to see all your beautiful cross stitching again. I couldn’t pick a favourite, they’re all so beautiful, but I am a Snow Queen fan. I think it’s my favourite cross stitch of all time & I still haven’t bought the fabric for mine 🙄. Definitely stitch another butterfly, you’re almost there & they’re too lovely to hide away. Hope stitchy bug stays with you 🤞. It’s not easy finding time for everything, if only we didn’t need to sleep 😂😂. Thanks for sharing
Yes sleep takes up so much crafting time 🤣 thanks for your encouragement x
I love watching what you have been up to while working on my own knitting sweater project. The reading is beautiful ❤ You have also inspired me to pick up my cross stitch again! Thanks for the videos Tina!😊
Wonderful , I'm glad I've encouraged you to stitch . Happy crafting x
Such joyful projects!! Have fun with them!! Love that aquamarine fabric too!!
Thank you, yes I'm excited to use that fabric 😁
It was so good to see you and your stitching box. Can't wait to see more
Thank you so much x
At 4:44 it looks like your holding the mug that's pictured in the book. Nice coincidence lol
Ha ha I didn't notice 😁
I love that you are getting back in to cross stitching. Previously you sparked my stitchy bug again and I am now surrounded by things to stitch. Thank you for opening that craft back up to me again.
On your temp butterflies, I would stitch August next to Sept and then finish the last few months. I think it adds a touch of interest. Plus, it looks like Sept was quite warm and might not be that different from Aug. It is a beautiful piece!
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm glad you are enjoying your stitching 😁
I use to cross stitch buys it’s been years- not even sure if my eyesore will allow me
To do it again. Your work is lovely though… can’t watch this though cause it’s gonna make me want to start yet another project 😅
You can do it , have a go with good lighting and higher count fabric . Good luck x
Hi Tina. Loved seeing all yr beautiful stitching projects again. Yr long dog looks amazing. Love that one. I do think that if you stitch one more butterfly it will be a nice finish and ready for framing. Take care. Xc
Thank you so much , yes I definitely need to stitch that butterfly. I think it will be haunting me until I do 😁
Love all your cross stitch projects. My eye sight makes stitching hard so I don't do much anymore.
That's a shame . Good lighting can really help but it's not fun to struggle. Having my cataract sorted really helped me . Take care x
Hi Tina, that was a lovely surprise! I’m in awe of your cross Stitch projects - 28 count! The butterflies were my favourite so please show us if you finish them. Thankyou. ❤
Thank you so much, yes I will give you an update when I have made some progress 😁
Its great to see your projects, I remembered so many of them! I don't like having lots of projects on the go, I find it overwhelming too. I think you've made some good decisions on what to do and what to leave for now. The butterflies are gorgeous. It would be a shame to lose all that work, I think finishing one last one and framing it (quick win?) would be good. Take care.
So true , everyone needs a quick win sometimes 😁
Lovely to see you back with cross stitch - I also have become overwhelmed with the amount of things and strangely today have done a cull. I still have heaps to do but I have made it more manageable.
It feels so good doesn't it. I'm glad I packed it away when I did. I think it helped me restart with fresh eyes . Fingers crossed I stay sensible about it . Good luck organizing yours. I noticed from your videos you seemed to be enjoying your books more than stitching . I hope you find the balance you want x
Wow Tina so talented they look lovely can’t wait to see them finished
Me too , don't hold your breath 🤣😁
Hi Tina, I’m glad to hear you are getting back to your stitching mojo 🎉 I have not stitched for five months now, hopefully soon I will get back to it fingers crossed. Take care xx
I hope so too, it will return x
I would do another butterfly and make it into a bag for cross stitch projects! I take my hat off to you for coping with soooo many cross stitches on the go at the same time 😮 I would have totally lost the plot 😅 really enjoying your podcasts. Love from Australia ❤
Thank you for your suggestions. Yes there is a lot of projects. Hopefully the number will go down soon 😁
Hi Tina So glad that you have your stitchy bug back again. Mirabilia and Lavender and Lace are my favourites, got a good few so if there is anything you are looking for let me know and I will see if I have got it and arrange something. no pressure.
Take care
Amanda from Lincolnshire xxxx
Thanks Amanda that's very kind of you. I have plenty to finish so I'm going to try and concentrate on that 😁
I love the butterflies!! What about switching or skipping a month lol we all need to get creative with time every now and again 😁
Yes creatively correcting mistakes is an important part of crafting 😁
Hi Tina. You could just stitch the year and Jan-Aug on the butterfly one. No one will know that Aug is Sept 😉I can’t wait to see progress on all of your Mira’s ❤
It would be wonderful to finish a Mira . It would give me a great boost 😁
Opinion - I would do one more butterfly for your butterfly chart, call it quits and hang it on the wall because it really is pretty. I think if you try to finish off all the way to the twelfth month it would put unnecessary pressure on you. I know it would on me. That little Beatrix Potter mouse is so so adorable. He would be such a fun stitch. I remember so many of those WIP's that you showed and I do hope you have fun stitching again. By the way, did you ever finish At The Met?
O
No I haven't finished her . She is in another box safe at the back . I wasn't happy with her skin ( 1 over 1 ) and it took away my enthusiasm. I also wasn't happy it the floppyness of the fabric. I learned a lot of lessons from that piece, I know what I like more but I see every thing I don't like when I look at her ( not the design ) 😕 I think stitching on other things that bring me joy is a better use of my time 😁
❤
Thanks for watching
All your projects are so wonderful! Would you feel ok to just reverse the August and September butterflies and then continue with the next three?
One more is all I can cope with 🤣 thanks for watching x
Oh no, poor butterflies. I'd put a seam ripper to the wrong one, then put it away to pick up later
No too much hassle. I've nearly finished another 😁
Wonderful job on the sampler , great personal gift. ❌❌❌❌❌
Mirabilia is so popular , Nora Corbett follows in her mum's, Marilyn , RIP :( footsteps (Lavender and Lace ), with spectacular pieces
Yes they are a talented family and we get the benefits 😁
Thankyou for inspiring and motivating me to get my cross stitch out , get it sorted and rekindle my love. Also love your Beatrix Potter on your wall, was this a kit and do you know if it’s still available? It’s gorgeous and would love to stitch it for my son who is becoming a foster Dad this year x
Sorry no it's not available. I bought the kit from Aldi but swapped out the fabric to hand dyed. You could try Ebay. There was a lot of them on there at the time , hopefully you will be lucky x
Ooh lots of projects there to keep you going! 😁
I love your jumper! Do you have the name of the pattern please?
I’m a new follower so may have missed it on previous videos 🙈. Thank you 🙏
It's the Flax by Tincan knits . I knit it with Drops Melody . The colour work is just k 1 green k 1 cream to blend the colours . Welcome to the channel and thank you for watching 😁
@@Simplyinstitches thank you so much!! I’ve been sitting knitting since 9am catching up on your videos. I love your friendly vibe, you feel like a knitting companion next to me 🤣
👍💐💐💐💐💐💐
Thanks for watching x
Love your stitching. can I ask what is the name of the pattern on the back, the girl with the blue dress. Thank you and happy stitching.
It's a Dimensions kit sorry I can't remember the name but she is an angel . I stitch her about 20 years ago but I'm sure she is still available 😁
@@Simplyinstitches thank you.
