    @paivipeony Před rokem

    Happy anniversary and congratulations! About the color of the cat: I would make a color gradient from brown to black. If you use two strands, pick one brown and another black and stitch on, then after a while, change to two strands of black. If only one strand is used, make a checkerboard pattern so that the color changes gradually. This kind of color change from head to back would make black look rich and natural. Many black cats have brownish tones, especially when they are exposed to light.

  • @postallyyours
    @postallyyours Před rokem

    I like the cat as is, mostly because 310 can come through rather flat when used for a big area. When I moved to my current home it was the first time one of my kitties had stairs and he was very nervous for a week or so. My other cat must have thought he found nirvana because he had no trouble with stairs and enjoyed the quiet week without a rambunctious little brother around. After a week, the younger cat figured out the stairs, and that running up and down is the best thing ever. He has settled down considerably but I still hold dear the memory of him discovering stairs ❤ 🌻

    • @katiethenovelstitcher
      @katiethenovelstitcher  Před rokem

      Haha. Love hearing about your kitties and their experiences in a house. Hopefully Scout adjusts well and grows to love it.

    Hi Katie :) I hope you've had a great few weeks since filming this - it sounds like your fall is a whirlwind of excitement and all good things 🌻 Congratulations on your house! The picture you shared on IG of the backyard view looks incredible 😍 Loved seeing the updates on your stitching, too. In my opinion, the "brown" cat in the Halloween stitch looks okay, especially from afar, but I understand wanting to make it look like your sweet Scout. Thinking of you this week as you finalize your packing and make the big move! Glad to hear your aunt is doing well, too. Happy stitching 💜

    • @katiethenovelstitcher

  • @sarahkay8784
    @sarahkay8784 Před rokem

    🌻congratulations on the house! It sounds like a busy couple of months but oh, it will be so worth it for you! I enjoyed your video so much today and appreciated hearing good news. I haven’t been stitching much and august was a bit of a downer. I lost my coworker who was also my friend. She was only 43. Its been difficult adjusting without her. Plus they aren’t replacing her anytime soon so I’ve been stressed because I’m either working alone or they are sending me temps. Every day is a bit different. Stitching has taken a back seat to reading which is more relaxing right now.
    I hope you enjoy your retreat! I’m going to a big one in just one month and counting in Charlotte, NC and Nora Corbett will be there!! She’s my favorite designer and I’m always working on something by her so this is so exciting… andscary! I’ve been looking forward to this for over a year and I can’t believe it’s almost here! I just got my suitcase out of the attic this morning and yes, I may even start packing….
    Good stress is still stress so make sure you take the time to unwind. And to cherish all those special moments, with your family and friends. ❤

    • @katiethenovelstitcher
      @katiethenovelstitcher  Před rokem

      So sorry for the loss of your friend, that must be so hard. And that you now have more work on your plate. I hope you get back to stitching soon and can find some comfort in it. Have fun at your retreat in Charlotte! That sounds like it’ll be amazing.

    Hi Katie, congratulations on your house, so happy for you. Reminds of when my husband and I got our first house, we closed escrow 2 weeks before we got married. Love your finishes, the one you made for your aunt turned out really cute, she going to love it. Your fabrics you bought are beautiful. I would like to stitch along with you on Fraukter Flower since we both have the same birthday. Maybe that will keep me motivated to keep working on it. Looks like you are going to have a busy rest of the year. Happy 1st Flossiversary, I can’t believe a year has already gone by. Loved watching you from your very first first video. I always look forward to seeing your videos. Will miss you while you take time to move and do all the fun things for your big Wedding day. I am so happy for you and Alex starting your new life together. Happy Stitching 🌻🌻🌻🌻

  • @chinookcrafter
    @chinookcrafter Před 11 měsíci

    Congrats on everything! New house, flossiversary, and a birthday!! I love looking at house listings because I’m nosy and opinionated but actually house hunting can be stressful. Our own house is a smidge small for kids but we have lots of playgrounds and a big field close by so it balanced out.
    I like your cat as is, it looks black on screen and sometimes all the 310 can be a bit much, plus most black cats do have some dark brown in them.

  • @roxannehamilton6721
    @roxannehamilton6721 Před rokem

    Hi Katie, I enjoy watching your videos and just wanted to comment on your need for magnifiers. I recently ordered magnifier glasses from Artdot for only $30 canadian..they are reasonable in the USA. I saw them on The Seattle Stitchers flosstube and I believe she has a discount code as well. I also watch TV and flosstubes while stitching and the placement of the magnifiers allows both without moving the glasses. Magnifier lenses included go from 1.0 to 3.5. They also have a light, but are really light to wear. I love them..I'm 67 years and even quit stitching for a few years because stitching on linen that I loved was impossible, but not anymore. Give them a look anyway, off to watch the rest of your video now.

  • @ediefrasier2932
    @ediefrasier2932 Před rokem

    So glad you found a home to purchase. Best wishes for all to go smoothly. I think you should continue with 3371 on the kitty you are stitching. You have done half of the cat and it seems like too much to pick out. God bless you both with a loving life together.

    And Happy Birthday!

    The witch is turning out great 😊
    Your fall project bag is adorable! How awesome that your workplace appreciates your efforts.
    I'm so glad you got the gift on a day you needed a boost. That makes me so happy 🥰 I'm so thrilled you love the bunny dish.
    Is the spiderweb 310? Maybe that's why the cat is brown? 🤷🏼‍♀️
    Your house and neighborhood sound perfect. I grew up on a dead end street as a kid and we had a lot of kids on our block. It was safe to place in the street because they're wasn't a lot of traffic and whenever a car turned onto the street we knew which house it was going to, so we'd just slide our game down a bit. That neighborhood has some of my happiest childhood memories. I really hope you guys feel and home there and create awesome family memories. 💕

  • @kerrys_stitching_basket

    Congratulations, it sounds like you found an ideal property! I hope the rest of the process goes smoothly. If your property has deciduous trees you'll be moving in just in time to rake and jump into your first pile of leaves. That is my idyllic take on autumnal yard work. 🍂🍁 As far as suggestions for magnifiers, I'll send an email with links to the lighted magnifying glasses I have tried. Although not perfect, they work better for my than other things I have tried. I am excited to start Fraktur Flowers with you next Monday.

I love Home Sweet Home and look forward to seeing Fraktur Flowers. As for your Halloween stitch, that's a hard decision. The kitty looks black on screen. 🌻 I am having to frog a black kitty right now on Cross -Eyed Cricket's "Autumn" and then part of the "A". Someone was a bit distracted while stitching. 🙄😄
