Amy your voice is so soothing. Love to watch! I am doing an advent puzzle, it is so fun! I love puzzles.
Hi Amy love seeing your WIP's and finishes. I too have that book 101 Weekend cross stitch gifts. You have given me a lot of ideas and I will be including that in my 2025 of smalls along with my new starts. Believe it or not when I saw you showed that book I went downstairs and had the book. Thank you I saw the stitching on the shore (Laura ) showing the trading cards. Clever and loved the idea. I always love seeing what people come up with in there ideas and techniques whether in new or old patterns. With you seeing old magazines from long ago has inspired me to do them. I love your crochet blanket it is beautiful. You are an inspiration and a joy to watch. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Pat
Amy - I love that blue fabric for that piece; it's beautiful! I like the idea of doing Christmas ornaments for WIPGO. That might be what I do for 2026. Happy stitching! - TaMara
I enjoyed stitching with you. - Valerie
So much fun Christmas stitches with not enough time to stitch them all.😊 Happy Stitching! - Valerie
All your Christmas pieces from the past are lovely. Happy Stitching! - Valerie
Hi Amy love seeing your WIP's. I too will be stitching football helmets for 2025 out of my new starts for 2025. Love the angel piece on the blue. I have been looking at my old magazines and patterns and will be stitching some smalls for gifts in 2025 along with my 25 new starts. I always enjoy watching your channel you bring back some memories of old magazines and I love it. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Pat
Hey friend, loved seeing your beautiful crochet blanket. I think it’s awesome that it will be going to comfort someone who could use some cheer this season. 🥰 I love a Chonky bear, too. 🐻🤎 Your flat folds look great! Any tips or tricks for doing them?
So soothing to sit back relax and stitch with you Amy. Love your blanket and that you are gifting to someone in need. Have alot going on wth the parents here too, so stitching up a storm as my stress is high finished one project and started on 2 others, Christmas parade and TK free woodland santa chart, Santa has some big brown coat in that one that is keeping me busy. Thanks for showing us your ornaments too, no time here this year but I think it will be a 2025 focus to make some ornaments here. Happy Stitching
Loved seeing all the craftiness today!
You just make me smile. Love you my friend!
Very nice video, as always. This time I am re-stitching the part I had to take out. Goodness.
Your voice is so soothing after a long and stressful day. Thank you Amy. 🦉
How sweet of you to think of and make something so beautiful for those who don’t have family close! 😊 Cute bird! I love your ornaments! Beaty Christmas is adorable!! Beautiful stag too! Lovely fabric backings! Love your flip-throughs! ❤
Hi Amy! I have the Christmas ornament booklet!! It's an old book! Thank you for the mention 😊 Take care. Always nice to see you and your flosstube!
Yay-How fun!!! Yes, it's an old book but I'm glad you found it. What, if anything, are you going to stitch? Have a lovely week, friend!
@@RenewingStitchesHmmm. I won't be stitching anything from the book this year for Christmas. But there's always next year. I forgot I had the book 🤣
I haven’t even started Christmas shopping, lol. 😬 I’m so glad you’re having fun stitching Beary Christmas!💛 Hope you have a lovely weekend.
I'm still picking up once/twosies that I have forgotten, but overall in a good place. Happy shopping, friend!
Hi Amy, great stitching. I think the helmets would look great as ornaments. I'm not great at changing colours either, maybe start with a freebie, something small. Happy stitching.
Thank you friend! I'm thinking ornaments too for the helmets! Will be working on those this week : )
🎅
Hi friend!
So close to being finished on the secret projects - must feel so good! Sometimes the color changes fail miserably for me, but I just take it as a lesson learned 🙂. I love the blue you chose (okay, this sentence surprises nobody 🤣).
No it does not surprise me, but that's lovely to know who's blue with me : )
I'm surprised to hear you say picking your own fabric colors is out of your comfort zone. When I first saw you hand dyed your fabric, I never would have known you felt that way. 😊
I have dyed some bright colors that I've used for smalls but still not confident. They turned out okay. But they are also small and can be hidden if on a shelf or tree or in a dough bowl : ) Can't hide that sampler-ha!
I used to have a goal to have 95% of our Christmas shopping finished before Halloween. I achieved that many years, but I've fallen off the wagon in the past few! I stitched on Jane Thompson 1838 while I watched your great video tonight - thanks, Amy!
Love Jane Thompson! My sister is like that. She has most, if not all, done by Halloween. I have started early, but usually think I'll have time later and put things off, then end up out and about with lots of other people. I'm still picking up one or two things that I've missed, but over all in a good place...... I hope : ) Looking forward to stitching with you this evening, friend!
What do you mean you’re not everybody’s cup of tea? Who are these people and who hurt them?
LOL, you are so sweet, friend!
The Angel piece is pretty. I think I have that magazine. I’ll have to look for it
There are several in that magazine to stitch!
Hi Amy! Yes, making color changes can be tricky, and sometimes it causes “decision fatigue”!
Yes, that's it...always wondering and second guessing...and soooo many lovely options.
Your angel sampler is looking so good. That’s funny that you were saying you aren’t very brave in changing floss colors or fabric colors. When we started our piece I was so impressed that you picked your fabric. It is a great choice. Btw… just a word of warning watching your sons pictures for grad festivities -even 100 times will not lessen the tears. It’s such a bittersweet time!! Hang in there! We were made to give them wings!
I know...I laughed in my head too but I still don't feel confident about the color changing : ) And I also agree- we raise them to leave, not to stay. The Lord has a plan for them, who am I to get in His way. Thank you for the reminder friend!
At m LNS we can bring in magazines and patterns to add to their freebie box. There have been some cool older magazines in the bin. You would love it. Congratulations on finishing your Christmas shopping. 🦉❄️🎅🏼❄️❄️❄️
How lovely that your LNS offers that! One day, I'll get over to Stich Niche in Arlington to see if they have something like that. Thank you for the idea to check, friend (enabler : )
Glad you had a good thanksgiving. The Angels piece looks so good on the blue. It is hard sometimes to step away from the normal. I’m not always successful with my color choices, but it is awesome when it all comes together. Your pieces are looking so good. Congrats on almost being done with the presents for your husband and kids. I love the idea of turn the kid’s into ornaments. I stitch everything whenever. I just do what calls to me.
I feel better about switching neutrals but really want to think about 'bigger' changes. It's definitely motivating to see your changes! Thank you for your encouragement, friend!
@ you know I love enabling people 🤣
I love the project olwith the cardinals & of course the With thy needle & thread 🪡
Thank you for your encouragement, friend! Looking forward to stitching with y'all again soon!
Lots of great choices for them to pick. Even I couldn't choose. Nice catching up with you. You will get your helmets done! I have the old santa books. I plan to do some next year.
I really want to do some bigger Santas too, but there's no way I can get more than one or two done in a year unless I cut my wips down a good bit. Is there a genius way to stitch more, that we don't know about??? Ha! Happy Stitching friend!
Hi Amy! I'm watching a bit late! Always inspiring!
Now for the wrapping of it all! MuhahahHaha 😂 Glad you got it done.
Always good to get things done! Rest up... see you tomorrow!!😊💗
Happy Shopping!
Amy - There have been some really close games lately; Georgia and Georgia Tech going to 8 overtimes was crazy! I remember having that O Holy Night book when I started stitching; I wish I knew where it is now. (That was many, many years ago, so who knows) I hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving! Happy stitching! - TaMara
Hi TaMara! We did have a lovely Thanksgiving! I hope y'all did too. I'm thankful for you friend!
You are so kind! Shorts have to be recorded vertically not horizontal, ask me how I know. 🦉
I figured that out today
heehee : ) You are sweet!
My comment disappeared, too. I thought I did a short for my January preview. It turns out I don't know how to do one either. See you tomorrow.
I’m sure I put a comment on here 🤦♀️. Bless you for putting our minds at rest. Take care Amy and see you tomorrow. 🧑🏻🎄
Hi Cynthia! That's alright, I'm glad you did friend!
🎅🏻
Hi Enid!!
I love the rose. So pretty.
That rose is lovely. But you are a lovely friend : ) Thank you for watching and catching up! I appreciate you sweet friend!
Moving along nicely! Happy Stitching! - Valerie
It's in fits and spurts- ha!! : )
Love the Santa on the front!😊 Happy Stitching Amy! - Valerie
Yes, so fun! Happy stitching sweet friend!
Hi Amy Love seeing your WIP's and love your crochet blanket. I have been doing 3 months to a finish with Dena half cross stitch and enjoying it. You pick 6 projects to see what you can finish in 3 months (Oct, Nov, Dec timeframe). I have finished two out of 6 and hope to get the rest finished this month and if I don't I will complete them in 2025. I really enjoy doing them. I will be starting 25 new starts for 2025 along with some smalls for gift giving. I did 40 new starts this year and will carry them into 2025. So it will be about 75/80 projects for 2025 along with my WIP's as well. I love going through my stash and pulling out new and old patterns. I love looking at you old patterns and picking out smalls. I have a lot of small patterns as well and started to pull out smalls from my old patterns as well. I will be going to my LNS Stitchery X-Press which is only 5 minutes from my home or Shepards bush only 21 minutes from my home and will be picking out material and patterns for 2025. I'm glad you and your family had a Happy Thanksgiving and a safe holiday. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Pat
Wow, I love your plans!! Thank you for sharing!! And how lovely to be close to 2 LNS's- what a blessing. I look forward to hearing about your progress in the new year! Happy Stitching friend!
Happy Stitching! - Valerie
Happy Stitching, friend! Hope you are doing well : )
Hi Amy, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with Christmas decorations and end my son's end of year tests. Santa and piles of notes don't jell well. Lovely stitching on your wips. Love the Alma Lynne snowmen and the Mill Hill book. Happy stitching
Yes, that doesn't sound like it goes well together, but you are almost done!!! I hope you got some good stitching done this weekend to reward yourself for getting through : ) I'm looking forward to stitching and catching up with you, friend!
It was so fun looking at my charts list as you were showing your possible family stitch!! Hope you and yours have a blessed Thanksgiving!!
It's so fun to go through the charts...and so hard to decide : ) I'm thankful for you, friend!
Amy was watching you while frogging my first christmas stitch of the season, didn’t like the red it called for changed it and like it so much better. Loved seeing all those older christmas patterns and wondering what the family will choose this year. Love the pattern with the round santa faces, they would make great round ornaments. Do you do yearly individual christmas ornaments for your kids? I may have to do that for 2025. Keep inspiring us to keep stitching using older patterns and magazines/books that we have. I am working on Santas young buck on the cover of PNPS magazine 2021-christmas winter issue. Happy Stitching
Oh, friend, I'm sorry the frog was visiting but glad you got the right red for your stitch! I have done individual ornaments for the boys, but not regularly...maybe 2 or 3 each. I'll find them and pull them off to show. I might have to start that next year. hmmmm.....great idea! PNPS is such a lovely magazine- so many to stitch! I hope you had a lovely weekend, friend!
Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Thank you friend! I'm currently watching, well, listening to your video. Thank you for keeping me company this evening : )
Loved seeing all of your wonderful Christmas books!! So many sweet stitches. 😍 Also enjoyed the longer video…more time to enjoy stitching with you. 😊
Thank you, friend : ) I have a hard time narrowing down and my husband and boys take no time in deciding. I think it took all of 5 minutes for them to look at all the possibilities and decide together. Ha! Now to decide on fabric. I hope you had a lovely weekend and I look forward to stitching with you soon!
You have an amazing collection of Christmas charts and designs! It was fun seeing them. Thanks, as always, for the video, Amy.
I'm sure your collection is lovely too- maybe you can share??? We had a great time playing 42 over Thanksgiving and I thought of you. I hope you had a lovely weekend as well. Looking forward to seeing your next video, friend!
So fun! Love watching you! Your orange and blue bird is adorable!! That green stag is so pretty! 😊 I love autumn town too!!
Awe, thank you friend!! What are you working on? Hope you had a lovely weekend!
@ I have two main wips. Treasure Island by Owl Forest Embroidery and Absract Flowers from an Etsy shop. They are both so fun!
