Hi there, I'm Jess and I'm a young mum.
This channel all started from me wanting to have oodles of videos of my little angel (Bella) and her sometimes moody but always lovable dad (Ryan) and to document all our adventures, (and my crafts)
All I really have to say is that I'm on this journey to have fun and learn new things with my princess and fiancé and I hope you guys want to be a part of that too.

What a fun box and loved seeing your daughter peek into the video. Happy new year.
I hope you are all now fully recovered. So looking forward to following your progress on your Gecko projects throughout the year. Wishing you, Ry and Bella a very Happy New Year 🥳
You're doing similar to Nicola simply a stitcher. She's got loads of Gecko rouge that she's starting this year. Wishing you all a Happy, healthy full of happiness in 2025🤗
Super adorable kit❤ enjoy!
Hi Bella!
So happy for you that Gecko Rouge sees what a good representative you are for them. You are deserving of them sending you the ho ho ho to show off for them.
I knew Bella would love the Penguin. She is so cute. I love the Ho Ho Ho.
Tidy backs make me happy and I stress if I have more than one project on the go. I agree about parking method, too much for my brain to process. I generally do work from left to right but I’m more of a cross country stitcher by color group but I won’t carry or trail threads across the back. I do pin stitch and then move onto the next with a new start . Thank you for such a great video. I really enjoyed watching your work.
Is his piece seriously that big?😅
Your crocheted projects are great!
Another Gecko fan here!! Looking forward to seeing all your progress next year.
You have a great variety of pieces. Bet it is wonderful to know you have all the thread in one place. I am yet to get a GR. I am tempted by guardians of Fuji too. Planning to do full coverage fanatics challenges next year and make some progress on all of my full coverages. Also will still do wipgo with little goals so I touch the non full coverage too. Like to do 4-6 projects a month
On importing US covers, if you have a nearby independent bookshop they maybe able to order them for you
Looking forward to seeing your progress on all those GeckoRouge kits. 😊
try abebooks or book depository or thriftbooks
I’ve tried and tried but I just can’t crochet. All of your projects look beautiful. Happy crocheting!
I wish I could crochet that quickly! I've been working on the same blanket for at least 2 years 😂
❄️❄️❄️
I wish I could crochet, I can do a granny square and I can knit confidently. But I can't crochet, maybe I need to challenge myself to learn Happy stitching/crocheting ❤😊
What crochet along was the wreath etc... by please? ❤
www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/small-weebee-doll-festive-wreath-mcal Here’s the link!
how on earth do you crochet that fast? LOL. I'm making a granny scoodie for my secret santa and it takes me so long.
If you like historical fiction, then give the Hilary Mantel books a go. I've listened to both Wolf Hall and Bring Up The Bodies, and was totally absorbed by them. They are read by an actor who has a different accent for every character, plus his own voice as a narrator. But I wouldn't speed them up - you'll lose the thread of the story. I got them free through BorrowBox, which is the audio-book service offered by my library
I like any books read by R.C. Bray and Ray Porter. They both have unique voices and a good range of characters. They tend to be more sci-fi/fantasy readers though.
My main goal is going to be the HAED Sal 2025 plus the additional free chart that comes which is a cool dragon. Love your bee, it’s looking fantastic 🐝
I'm glad you like what I sent over! The fabrics are all actually Coffee Craft ones - purchased quite a few years ago when they were just starting up/first introduced the monthly club. The silks are missus sedas :)
What genre do you like? For Sci-Fi, I recommend the Silo trilogy (the first is called Wool) and the Vorkosigan saga by Lois McMaster Bujold (there are something like 22 books in the series and I think she’s done with it); for fantasy, Jim Dale does a great job with the Harry Potter series; also The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern; for horror, Justin Cronin’s The Passage series. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is excellent - although you won’t get any stitching done for the last hour of it. Happy stitching and listening.
LOVE the bat on that fabric! 🦇
The Emily Wilde series audio books are so good. The 3rd one doesn't come out until Feb 2025. The 2 narrators have English accents which makes it more fun for me but might be boring for you. I love the narrator for the Gail Carriger steampunk books but I can't remember her name.
I love audio books. Did you know if you join your local library you can get unlimited free audiobooks online. Plus you can get free online cross stitch magazines. So worth doing. I just finished listening to the midnight library which I really enjoyed.
My first goal for 2025 is to do the HAED sal and I intend to use the fabric I won I also thinking of doing the sal from Modern Embroidery when it comes out. I do hope one day we can buy the Gecko Rouge only as pdf since it will be way to expensive to get them now you are out of EU take care you too love your videos
Omg I’m so glad I found you - I’m binge watching your videos from number 1 ❤
Omg. Just found your channel, love you guys. You asked in this episode about “British sweet shops”. I live in Burlington Ontario Canada - we have 3 British sweet shops in my town alone!
This is the first video of yours I’ve seen; I loved it and I’m so looking forward to binge-watching all of your episodes, especially while I work on my first full coverage piece I just started this week (app. 220,000 stitches). Finding this video was perfect timing. I’ve been trying all of the things-royal rows, random parking, cross country, find and do large blocks of colour, etc lol, and wasn’t sure that was ok because, you know, the cross stitch police (well said). Thank you for spending the time and making the effort to make your videos, sharing your support, knowledge, and beautiful projects!💕
Love hearing that you’re thinking about making 2025 a year of GeckoRouge kit stitching. I love my GR kits and I’m also in the GeckoAmi Patreon group. I’m super happy and in love with the first pattern by Braziere. The colors are WOW! See y’all next time!
I love decorating for Christmas too. It will be interesting this year as I've moved, so I need to work out where everything goes. I love your videos, especially as you just end up chatting about random bits, makes me feel like we're just having a visit and a catch-up
Not sure if you could do this with as many wips as you work on, but I’m doing 39 page finishes for my 39th this next year. I only have 4 wips tho😊 love watching you both!
I had to start the Gecko Ami patreon pattern asap! Aurora Cottage is so beautiful! I’d just started it in my last Flosstube but I’m hoping to get more progress on it soon. A Sal sounds really fun. Your bee looks amazing on that fabric too! I’m getting that kit for Christmas so thanks for the inspiration 😊. And love your Halloween pumpkin as well. Congrats on your finish!! I love all your Gecko Rouge stitching really ❤❤
What a great idea to do a SAL for the GeckoAmi first chart (such a nice design). Could always post in the Geckorouge Stitching Group or on Patreon 🤔🤔 I love seeing everyone’s progress.
January is my birthday month also🎉
Started my Xmas stitching have about 5 Mill Hill’s for pressies on the go, and I have my Donna Gelsinger, Christmas house full coverage 🎄. Are you doing the HAED Sal for 2025?
I do not christmas decorate but are sewing on 2 trolls for a friend
Love seeing your videos.
Haha yes I can hear the fizz 😊
I love the spooky season ! The first one also give me Wizzard of Oz vibes !
Great progress on the spooky pumpkin!
Spooky Halloween content, well done 🎉
Spooky Halloween everyone! Loved your video and update on your pumpkin. Also, I agree with Ryan. Love "The Mummy" with Brandon (big fan). And I just recently watched "The Thing" with Kurt Russell, wow! Great classic. And Jess, I recommend you watch "Practical Magic" with Sandra Bullock. It's "Halloweeny" without being scary. I love it. Tell me what you think!
Excellent progress on your spooky pumpkin!
Fab spooky video
Love the terror mango kits, think my favourite is the spooky pumpkin too but Ryan's house is looking good too! Well done on a gecko finish 🎉xx
