    Hello Dena, congratulations on your finishes Oh Tomato and Be Ye Thankful and so good to see your other projects progressing so well. Lovely surprise to see Donna and I loved seeing Cocoa directing the treat preparations at the end. There was such a lot of content to enjoy in this video, thank you so much for sharing with us and happy stitching, Teresa 🐾

      Teresa, so happy that you enjoyed all the various segments to this video. I was so glad Donna could come over and film with me about her adopt a project and her framed pieces. Cocoa sends her love. Right now we have a roof inspector here and she is letting us know there is a stranger in the yard. Constantly. She cannot understand why we are not upset about it. LOL. Dena

      Linda, the only time Cocoa isn't in charge is when she is at Fred's. LOL. Thanks so much for the congrats on all the finishes. Dena

      Michele, yes I have had a great month of stitching so far and Cocoa is always wanting to help, whatever we do, but especially cutting up her treats. LOL. Dena

    Hi Dena love seeing your WIP's and finishes they are looking beautiful. I absolutely love the painting of Cocoa and in the past seeing the picture of your sister in law puppy who passed away. They both are stunning and beautiful. Love seeing Donna and her cross stitch in those beautiful frames. Her cross stitching is stunning. On top of the 25 new starts I have added 7 more new starts. I may get up to 40 new starts (will see). I LOL seeing Cocoa getting her snacks. I'm glad to hear your hubby is doing well with his leg and will be looking forward to his hiking. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless

      Pat, so glad you liked the paintings of Cocoa and Ginger my friend did in watercolors. Donna's framed pieces were beautiful, and her mom has already told Donna that the green frames match her mom's living room perfectly, hint, hint. LOLOLOL. Donna predicted that. Seven more new starts! WOW that is 32, you are on your way to 40 for sure. LOL. Dena

    Dona what a pleasure to have Donna. I mean (my friend Donna) lol. The items she stitched are beautiful. When you showed the picture of coco I just gasped. It is beautiful and very much looks like him. As always thank you for the video. I very much enjoy them

      Pamela, thanks so much for the compliment on Donna's three finishes. She is a tremendous stitcher. I also think Cocoa's picture looks just like her. Especially her eyes. Thanks also for returning to watch my videos. Dena

    Dena, Congratulations on all of your finishes - both big and small! It was great to see Donna again; her framed pieces are so pretty. Cocoa did a great job helping with chores. I hope your hubby is doing well in his recovery and is back to running soon! Happy stitching! - TaMara

      TaMara, my hubby is doing well. His Physical Therapist says he should plan on going on his hike he has planned so he was very happy today! Just got back from a grand opening of a new cross stitch store, so I just uploaded a long video because I added that to it. Hope you get to see it. Hope you are having a great month of stitching! Dena

    So good to see you. You helped me stitch many white stitches - I’m stitching a Snowman! Your finishes are fabulous and I loved all your ‘littles’ for the finishing course in July. Good to be organized ahead of time. Lovely to see Donna, or should I say, your friend Donna 😂. Cocoa is adorable and I laughed at her getting her snacks and Tommy’s comment about how many small ones there were! The portrait your friend did of her is brilliant - really captured her perfectly. Thank you for sharing everything and happy stitching.

    • @halfstitchcrossstitch2456
      @halfstitchcrossstitch2456  Před 2 měsíci

      Susan, I am so glad you got a good many white stitches in your snowman while you watched my video. I love to watch Flosstube while I stitch! Inspiring and interesting. Yes, Tommy was getting tickled at how many little pieces there were, but they all totaled up to about the amount of treats she gets normally in one sitting, so it was all good. LOL. Dena

  • @lindacraig5056
    @lindacraig5056 Před 2 měsíci

    Dena your finishes are fabulous and that water color of Cocoa is absolutely beautiful. She could jump right out it looks so real. Sounds like you and Donna had a great time and her finishes are beautiful as well. Those little Christmas sweaters are adorable. Thanks for sharing Dena. Happy stitching

    • @halfstitchcrossstitch2456
      @halfstitchcrossstitch2456  Před 2 měsíci

    • @halfstitchcrossstitch2456
      @halfstitchcrossstitch2456  Před 2 měsíci

      Cindy, I am certain you get it about the fur babies since Allie is 11.5 years old, you are wise to enjoy every day you have with her. I was so happy to be able to gift that to my SIL. She cried a little, but they were happy tears. Dena

      Kathyn, that is a regular event about every couple of weeks. She so looks forward to it. My hubby is healing well and is walking much better now. Just has to let it completely heel before he hikes in June. Dena

    @StitchinMommy Před 2 měsíci

    I’m not sure if it would match the other large Christmas piece Donna stitched, but I’m starting the new Christmas Band Sampler by Northern Expression Needleworks in December. That’s a big, pretty Christmas piece that Donna might have fun stitching for her mom! 🎄

    • @halfstitchcrossstitch2456
      @halfstitchcrossstitch2456  Před 2 měsíci

      Sarah, it is so funny! When Donna sent a picture to her mom of her three framed pieces, her mom called her immediately and told her how beautiful they were and that the green color would match her living room perfectly. LOLOLOL. I think Donna will wind up gifting those to her mom because she loves to give stitching to those that love it. I will make sure Donna ready your comment for the recommendation for the Christmas stitch. Happy Stitching. Dena

    Hi, Dena! Your Oh, Tomato turned out so pretty! Those little items you had to stitch for your classes are pretty, too. The quilt project is shaping up nicely. So glad you got to give the dog picture to your sister-in-law. And, Cocoa's looks just like her. ❤

    • @halfstitchcrossstitch2456
      @halfstitchcrossstitch2456  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Judy, thanks so much for the compliment on my Oh Tomato. I thought the class items were cute. My SIL was so happy with her water color of Ginger it made my heart happy. My hubby hung Cocoa's picture in the kitchen for me yesterday. Dena

    Hello Dena Oh Tomato is beautiful, congratulations on the finish. I would not be able to put Summer Treats down it’s adorable. Good to see your progress and always a joy seeing your stitching. Your friends finishes are amazing. Have great stitching week.

    • @halfstitchcrossstitch2456
      @halfstitchcrossstitch2456  Před 2 měsíci

      Thanks Neil for the compliments on all our finishes. I am so enjoying Summer Treats and hated to put it down, but I wanted to finish my acrostics first. Dena

    @ConnieVanzant Před 2 měsíci

    Dena I really enjoy your videos. I've been watching you for a while now. Donna your 3 pieces you had framed is beautiful. And Donna I remember you had a flosstube for a little bit. So glad to see you with Dena.

    • @halfstitchcrossstitch2456

    Wow you fit so much in this video! You are a busy bee! I laughed when Cocoa was “helping” you with the treats 😂😂 Does your friend who does the watercolor do commissions? Have a wonderful week my friend! ❤❤

      @halfstitchcrossstitch2456  Před 2 měsíci

      Carolyn, she just paints pets that she feels she would like to do for their owners. If you are interested in her painting your cats, I will ask her. She tends to want to paint them and if she feels they turn out well, she just gifts them to the owners. Dena

    • @halfstitchcrossstitch2456
      @halfstitchcrossstitch2456  Před 2 měsíci +1

      My class room ornament was stitched on 32 count. My Erica Michael's berries are being stitched on 18 count aida (which is equal to 32 count so they are the same sizes). Dena
