Love this so much. Best travel project I've ever seen. Imagine you'll inspire a lot of other people.
Aw thank you! That really means a lot 🧡
Oh my gosh. The “screaming my tits off” GOT ME!!!!!! Hahaha
I feel like this is the most your fun personality has really come through, I feel like I was talking to a friend! Thank you for such an amazing story and video!
Aw I love that! It was fun to share some of the stories and make a different kind of video for once 😄
As my daughter said…”just a tiny bit of profanity can go a long way, to get your point across!”
Thank you so much for recounting your amazing time over in Japan through cross-stitching! The little cross stitches and the stories that go with them are super cute! 🌸
Oh Janelle, it looks incredible. Best souvenir ever. I adored listening to the stories behind the images. I had always wondered about the 610!
I always love your creative projects but this was next level awesome. The perfect memory board of a once in a lifetime trip. Congratulations 👩🌾👩🌾👩🌾
I lived in Japan for 5 years when I was younger and seeing your trip brought back so many memories. I've also been an avid cross stitcher for most of my life, so this is really just the perfect combination of nostalgia for me. Such an amazing project that you will obviously treasure for the rest of your life. 💙
Thanks so much for sharing your project Janelle. You have really inspired me. I have realised that I have had a huge smile on m y face during the entire video! Just love your enthusiasm and hearing some of youe experiences.
This is so cute! I can't even express how adorable this project is. 😭
It’s beautiful! Some of the best wall art is that which is personally meaningful to your life story.
I do this kind of thing as well, but with tiny illustrations using 005 pens on the blank exterior of my agenda/journal, whenever I can signify a day with a memorable/meaningful little drawing. If you keep them for a few years, there’s cohesion between the covers, but each one is unique and gives a snapshot of the year in its collection of illustrations.
Also thank you for sharing your "post-pandemic" Covid story. Sadly, it’s ongoing and still worth taking precautions in crowded poorly ventilated situations whenever possible.
Beautiful work! I also really enjoyed the fabric shopping video from your trip.
Wpuld love this as a phone wallpaper
Such an incredible art piece. Love it so much. ❤
Looking forward to this video love the finished project.
What a treasure! And such a wonderful keepsake. Thanks for sharing!
What a lovely, meaningful and heart-warming way to make a lasting keepsake of all your time in Japan. I have truly enjoyed every minute of time you have shared with us from your adventures and life while living there. It's totally inspired me to want to do something similar. Thank you Janelle for sharing all of this with us; it's been truly wonderful going on this journey with you.
I love everything about this! Thank you so much for sharing ❤
What a great idea. Thank you for sharing your stories.
I love this so much, what a great idea
Beautiful finish! And so inspirational. Thank you for sharing!
This is wonderful! Looking back I wish I had captured many of our travels in a memorable way like this. Such a great "living memory" and conversation piece.
Such a great idea😊 what a beautiful keepsake!
What an amazing project to have forever ❤️
An enjoyable look at your visit to Japan.
What an amazing time you had and the cross stitch picture will make you remember it forever ❤️
This was lovely. Thank you. I loved the bubble story. It's those little moments that make life sweet.
Great video and a great project. It’s obvious that it brings back vivid memories of your trip because your stories were told with such animation. As usual you have shared your skills so generously.
I love this so much.. What a fabulous project and such a wonderful way to recall stories from your travels.. 💕😍
I love it so so much! this is very precious and looks so beautiful. thank you for sharing this project and all the stories with us! definitely inspired me to do one myself!
Absolutely love this project. I will definitely consider doing this!
So beautiful Janelle - and your obvious joy in the whole project is inspiring! I loved what you were saying about how these little images are able to conjure such vibrant & specific memories of each & every day, as opposed to the 'blur' that holidays often feel like. Lovely too, that this is very much a shared project of memory keeping with Matt 😊
Thanks so much Astra 🧡
I absolutely love this! I want to make one for every vacation I take from now on!!! Such a beautiful keepsake from your travels. 💗💗💗
Love this so much. Thank you for sharing!
What a fabulous project and memory. Thanks for sharing.
It turned out so well!!! I love it. It's such a great idea. 🥰
I loved this video; it has tugged at my heartstrings! Thank you so very much for sharing this with all of us!
Thanks Janelle for sharing all about your fabulous cross stitch project!! Loved how you came alive talking about the designs and could tell your memories are vivid! Keepsakes of travel can be tricky to be meaningful, this will be meaningful forever!! ❤️
What a beautiful token of your memories in Japan!
Wow, this is sooo beautiful. The idea is amazing. I love it❤
WOW, I love this idea. How incredible.
This is such a neat idea, which turned out beautiful. Great memories for you both.
Thanks so much. I followed your Japanese journey with great interest and literally *gasped* when you held up your framed masterpiece. Your earlier videos inspired me to do this for a recent 6-week trip I took to Europe. Because I was traveling around a lot with carry-on only bags I decided to keep a journal to inspire my images to stitch once I got home and to help me relive the whole trip in a deeper way. These tips, especially Stitch Fiddle will help me bring this into reality. I loved your stories! 🧡
i cannot get over how amazing this is! i loved hearing your stories about the different images- thanks for sharing them. japan is such a phenomenal place and the kindness of the people is extremely heartwarming.
Love your videos and all of your lovely creative ideas. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
I could watch this for hours! Absolutely amazing work and idea. Thank you for sharing this incredible beautiful project!
So nice! Thank you for sharing this!!
This is so beautiful. I have just begun to cross stitch on my crochet, and your project is so inspiring to me! What a beautiful way to remember your travels.
I love this idea! I tend to use stitch fiddle for corner to corner crochet projects, will have to give it a whirl with cross stitch too. X
such a great idea! your energy and visible happiness while telling these daily stories reminded me of my time spent abroad (months in foreign countries I always wanted to visit and live in). Wish I had such a crafty idea at that time, I love a good tangible/visual memory! I hope these memories will make you smile every time you'll look at them!😊
Love the framed project, that really brought it all together. It’s really nice that Matt was part of the process as well so it really is your combined memories of a trip of a lifetime.
The check fabric you showed at the end would make a great ‘new Mum’ dress - recording different stages of the baby during their first year or two 💕.
This is so wonderful!
That was so inspiring, thinking of doing a year starting January ❤
Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! Idea, You, and this video! Thanks so much for sharing ❤
looks like my favourite dmc brown -- 'very dark nearly black brown'. What a fantastic idea. You'll treasure it for years
Its so beautiful!
Loved this video, thanks so much Janelle ❣
Love the unique idea for travel momentos.
I like to buy local makers clothes while on trips, so I every time I wear the item I’m reminded of where I was when I got it. currently working in a couple outgrown/worn out tops into a scrappy quilt, so the memories live on.
Side note: love the lip colour! Stunning.
I love this idea so much! 😍
This is an amazing keepsake! I am so inspired.
Wow! What an amazing idea. Thank you for sharing all your tips and stories.
I love this so much! Like you said, those little icons store so many memories and probably make you remember your trip more vividly than just looking at photos. I've had a collection of really nice stitching thread from a family member for some years now and never knew what to use it for because I feel like I don't want to do one big thing. And I also went on an amazing 20-day-trip in September, so maybe I will connect those two and cross-stitch 20 tiny pictures about my trip with the thread that means so much to me.
Wow, what a beautiful and meaningful piece! I appreciate your showing the finished project and giving some tips you learned along the way. I didn't know about Stitch Fiddle, so helpful!
As a long time counted cross stitcher, I just loved your project and the memories behind each design.
This is the best travel project I have ever seen! I love each desighn Janelle, you are very talented. Thanks for sharing your tips as well I would love to try it!❤
Wow this looks so beautiful! Such a great idea for keeping all those memories livid (?) for a long time! ❤
It's a beautiful piece
Wow what a wonderful shop keeper!!
Thank you for sharing this inspiring project Janelle, I loved discovering what each embroidery represents! I would love to give it a try, and might document our late trip to Amsterdam.
Wow love this so much you are so talented - it looks amazing framed ❤
Good Morning from Davie, Florida, USA. Janelle, thank you for sharing your cross-stitch project of your adventures to Japan with us.
Love this project!
WOW ITS BEAUTIFUL….. jaw dropping amazing!!! Great job!! ❤
OMG... adding this to my bucket list!! Best documentation after pictures and videos. Thank you so much for inspiring
This inspires me to do a cross stitch a day for a year or maybe trips only..many possibilities!
Such a wonderful project. What a great piece you created of your travels and memories. I hope the floss tube community find your video. Thank you for explaining your creative process and the software you used.
It’s stunning
Lovely! I love your craft-ability!😀❤️🇨🇦
So wholesome and cute 🥰🥰
You never disappointed Janelle. Thank you so much, loved listening to your stories. Your cross stitch project is awesome. Stay blessed xx

A true masterpiece
How great is your idea and the final result. It's beautifully done and what an amazing way to remember your holidays. Love it, love it, love it!
I just moved to London from California, and your project and video have sparked me to try out cross-stitch👏🏻👏🏻 again!
Janelle I loved hearing about your Japan trip and your cross stitch. I would love to go there one day. It sounds amazing. Thank you so much for sharing it.❤❤
Thanks so much for watching! I hope you can get to Japan one day, it’s such an amazing place 😍
Oh my goodness it looks amazing! So lovely that you’ll have this to treasure and remember your travels forever 🥰
Thank you! I’m so proud of it 😊
OMG this is so good, thank you so much for the link to the website! I tried searching for something like this years ago and came up with images of charts to print out only.
Honestly tearing up at multiple parts of this video. I’m so happy you were able to experience such a wonderful few months in Japan. You definitely deserve it! As one of the people who has inspired me to start sewing and eventually start my own channel I’m forever rooting for you and wishing you all the best! Xoxo
Aw thank you!! That honestly means so much to me 🧡 Thanks for taking the time to leave such a meaningful comment x
It's amazing Janelle!! The length is perf as it is. I love how you keep your process in the video and share how you troubleshoot any mistakes etc. those seams on that pattern are so so flattering too. Keen to see if I have a similar one in my stash 😂
❤❤❤Love this. Love your work.
This is adorable
This was such a fun video
Love this! It turned out so cute. Favorite cross stitch project I have ever seen. Really enjoyed hearing your stories from Japan. 🥰
Aw thank you so much 🧡
This made me miss Japan so much! From the pill story to Tokyu Hands and hanami…😭 I have lived there for 13 years of my life and everything you told was so relatable. Haven't been there since 2017. 🥲
This project was magical, thank you for sharing! 🌸
This is one of the most incredible projects I've ever seen!! Couldn't wait for this video. I watched all your Japan diaries and stories on insta and I tried to figure out which little cross stitch I could recognize from what you've shared ☺️ so fun. I'll definitely make one myself!!
Aw thank you!! I’m so proud of it so that really means a lot 😄 x
It's amazing!!!!!
I .... LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE...It!!! OMG! It's so cute!
Love this!
I hope you do the dress project too, that would be amazing!
