    So fun to see you again! Beautiful stitchy finish on the Lola Crow piece, and I loved your book recommendations! Radium Girls was a crazy story, I agree - glad you enjoyed it! I hope you're having a great week! Happy stitching 💜

    Hi from the cap region! 🤗Awesome projects!! I read a few decent books lately...they r more psych thriller type and very descriptive so idk if u like those types of books, but one was the mountain king by anders Dela motte and a ya book under this red rock by Mindy mcginnis. Lately I've been reading alot of books that end up tickin me off in the end cuz they seem so good then end horribly 😂, but those books were pretty good! I'm I'm a little slump as far as finding the right books that really stick w me after if that makes sense lolol Happy stitching!🐈‍⬛🪡❤️

      @kateys_crossstitch oo and echo man by Sam Holland was pretty good and apparently now there is a second book lolol. Currently reading the Angelica Henley series by Nadine Matherson I think her name is...or Masterson? Either way...they're pretty good. Very descriptive which makes the books longer (which I noticed alot w overseas authors) but I'm enjoying em nonetheless!

    Lovely to see you back again! Love your wips! You’ve been so busy but sounds lots of fun. I’d love to go to Salem. I’m currently reading uncanny. There’s also a podcast of it too if you listen to those and like ghost stuff. We have a tv series of it too over here in the uk and I’m obsessed. The guy has done an American series of the podcast. Can’t wait for your next video ❤️

    Ninth House is so divisive! It’s interesting to me how some people love it and some people struggle to slog through it. I can’t even put my finger on why, but I absolutely loved it and enjoyed it even more when I reread it and was able to follow the time jumps better.

    Welcome to Flosstube, I loved seeing all your projects!! My ears perked up when you said upstate NY, I’m originally from Rochester, but I live down in Lexington, KY now. I loved the Buick piece. My dad is a big Buick Riviera fan, and we actually just went to a Riviera car show this weekend here in Lex. I’m hoping to make/find a Riviera-related pattern that I can stitch for him.

    • @kateys_crossstitch
      @kateys_crossstitch 4 місяці тому

      I'm about 2 hours east of Rochester. I was just in the area two weekends ago for a concert though! My partner has a Buick Skylark!- I'll be VERY happy when the Buick piece is done. It's an easy stitch but the huge swatches of color is just so monotonous. 😅

    Don't give up on the Christmas village sampler. It is really pretty and on beautiful fabric. I have a project I recently began working on again after 10 years in the corner. Through moving I had lost the pattern and threads. After I found the pattern again I had to go through to find out where I was so I could continue .

    • @kateys_crossstitch
      @kateys_crossstitch 4 місяці тому
