Tutorial Tuesday: How to prepare a Mill Hill Kit
How terrible to have constant migraines, I hope the doctors find a way to help you soon. I really like the work you are doing with glow in the dark beads. I have a Mill Hill kit of a candelabra that I am trying out glow in the dark threads on the sections of the flame and halo. It is on black perforated paper and I am having difficulty seeing the holes but will persist to finish it for Halloween.
Thanks for reminding me that I have several Mill Hill glow-in-the-dark beads...I need to find a project for them asap 😊 Hope your migraine subsides soon.
Jeg er lige (på min danske flosstube - jeg har også en engelsk) blevet gjort opmærksom på din...og det er jeg glad for 🎉😊 Glæder mig til at følge dig. Jeg kender ikke til mange skandinaviske flosstubere, så dejligt at finde din.
Welcome back Marika, lovely to see you again. I hope your migraines improve greatly soon. I'm so pleased that you finally have a diagnosis. You have made wonderful progress on all your stitching ❤
Thank you! ❤️❤️
Great projects 😊
Thank you
You have a lot of progress!! The Underwater city Vampurr are just fantastic!
Thank you!
I have thought about ordering the Mill Hill kits from you several times and I would love to get several at the same time but the postage gets really expensive if you order several at the same time.
Hi! That is something I can help with! Long story short, I can’t see weight based shipping in the store because my country can’t use Etsy’s own shipping. But if you send me a message on Etsy with how many you want I can calculate the proper shipping. And either I just refund you the excess or we can set up a separate listing.
I just found your floss tube and really enjoy listening to you. I loved all your stitching projects. Our tastes are a lot alike in pattern choices. I especially liked the Mill Hill kits but my favorite was the Vampurr! I have a cat that has that same coloring and I would love to purchase that pattern. Are you on Etsy? I live in the USA. Do you send mail there or can I get a pdf ? Let me know please.
Hi! Thank you! The Vampurr is designed by The Withchy Stitcher and that one you can find on her Patreon :) All the links can be found in the description, also to my Etsy store where I sell the Mill Hill kits and hand dyed fabric and more :)
Vampire is awesome. I hope you feel better soon.
Thank you! ❤️
Vampurr is so great! That Barbara Ana is stunning. Glad to hear you got your diagnosis and I hope you feel better soon.
Thank you!
Thank you for the video, I love your vampire cat. Take care of yourself going forward. Telling you what is wrong only tells you what you have to live with.
Thank you, I will
Good to have a diagnosis, now to let it sink in and adjust.
What projects names do you have
Hi! I’m really sorry but I don’t understand your question? Could you clarify please?
Nice job with your projects!❤
Thank you!
Your winter cabin finish is BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you! It was so much fun stitching!
Loving all your stitching. I hope you get some answers for your health issues soon. 🍩
Thank you!
Thank you for the video. I love yourowl finish, and it will make a great project bag. Thank you for sharing.

🌞🌞🌞 Thank you for sharing the info about AI, I didn't know this before
You are so welcome!
I can recommend Cohana scissors and the BenQ floor lamp. I have been able to take up cross stitching again thanks to the BenQ lamp.
Thanks for the tip!
Hi Marika, thanks for another great video. The blackwork project looks amazing and sooooo elaborated. I am sorry to hear that the owl is AI generated. I really liked that project but I understand your attitude. The ship museum you told us about reminds me a lot a story of Mary Rose in Portsmouth (England) that I visited with my family last summer vacation. Basically the same fate. And I appreciate your excitement over LEGO :D I would be similarly thrilled. Enjoy the nicer weather and happy stitching! 🌞
Happy stitching!
Your last few weeks sound lovely! I love that you particularly wanted to see the Legos too. 🧱 Thank you for sharing your beautiful stitches too! ☀️
It was! ❤️ I love legos!
Your videos are always fun and I love seeing your beautiful stitching. Have a wonderful week, Marika. Enjoy the sunshine! 🌞
Thank you! You too!
AI does a bit more than tweaking.... it's like it mashes up together what it's learned from various art and spits out an approximation of what the user prompts and it's like a very strange dream. Looks okay at first glance but the more you look the more disturbed you get..... It's unsettling and lifeless.
Well it depends on what you use as promt, wether it’s text or image etc. But yeah I know that it is much more complex than that. And AI can make beautiful things, however those times it’s usually using a specific artist in the prompts, even some time even replicating the signature as the AI doesn’t understand that it isn’t part of the art… and that art wouldn’t exist if the artist hadn’t created it first…
