Hi Dena and Donna loved seeing your finishes. Donna you did a beautiful job on your finishes they are absolutely beautiful. I always love hearing from both of you on your starts for 2025. Dena I am behind on my 3 months to a finish but I am still working on them. December is going to be a very busy month for me but I will do my best but I have a lot of patterns that I need to be kitted so that is taking a lot of my time so if I don't finish all my 6 projects I will not be disappointed and will work them into next year. I hope you won't be disappointed if I do not complete them. I have been so busy. I always enjoy seeing Donna on your channel she is so fun to watch and hope to see her again in more of your video's. I LOL seeing Cocoa get excited about what was in the box. She thinks it was for her because she was so curious. I absolutely loved it!!! Wishing you and Tommy and JT and Cocoa and Donna and her family a Happy Thanksgiving and a safe holiday. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Pat
Pat, you know I will not be disappointed if you don't finish all your 3 months to the finish line projects. It is a motivator, but it is not punitive. No shame here. Like you said, you can work the ones you don't finish into next year's stitching. OOOOOh, I like the sound of you kitting up so much for 2025. Can't wait to see what you are planning. Dena
I agree with Donna on Christmas decorating. I am not home for Christmas so have minimal decorations. I love her Hawk Run.
Thanks MaryLee, I will pass along your love for Hawk Run to Donna. Dena
Farm and christmas parade are both so beautiful. Have a great trip and its never to early to put the christmas tree up. Happy stitching and a great weekend.
Thank you! You too! Appreciate the kind words regarding Farm and Christmas Parade. Dena
Awwww, baby Cocoa! 🥰 I so enjoy visiting with you Dena. Your stitching is beautiful and I love the variety of items you stitch. And your finishes and FFOs are inspiring. Happy early birthday. I think I’ll spend December stitching on two projects from two of my favourite designers in honour of your birthday - Winter’s Hush by Dimensions and Madam Chantilly’s Celebrate Christmas. Hope you have safe travels and a wonderful trip. Take care and happy stitching! 🧵🪡😄❤️
Kris, so good to see your comment. I have always enjoyed seeing Ollie in your videos as well. I am so honored you will be stitching on two of your favorite designers in December in celebration of my birthday! YAY! Have a wonderful holiday season! Dena
Great video Dena I’m trying to finish this video before I need to get ready to go to a Pt appt. Cutting it close 😂I’d love to just sit here and stitch and watch videos but later I guess. Take care and Enjoy.....
MaryJo, so glad you could squeeze me in before your PT appointment. Donna is coming back over tomorrow to pick up some framing and to stitch with me. I am looking forward to it. Hope you are getting lots of stitching time before the holidays hit. Dena
It was so good to see your friend Donna. Please congratulate her from me on her finishing Hawk Run Hollow. I love your 2025 plans. Have a fabulous trip.
Thank you, I will I am sure! My friend Donna is coming up to visit tomorrow and stitch as we won't see each other until December after that. I hope you are handling taking care of your mom well and that you are taking care of yourself as well. Dena
I loved coming to visit - i will miss you while you are away but look forward to seeing you again in December
LynneUSA, So glad you could come to visit. We will have to do that again soon after I get back. In the meantime, enjoy your new Challenge group! Dena
Love seeing Dena and Donna film together ❤. Donna, you have very impressive goals for next year. I'm making my goals and plans for next year. I plan on going to 2 retreats. I'm not doing WIPGO in 2025. I don't intend on buying any stash unless specifically needed for a project like a floss or something like that. I'm doing a LOT of SALs. I want to finish Pandemic, which several people in my local stitching group started this past January. I hope that you have wonderful and safe travels Dena. Can't wait to see you ladies again in September 😊
Christine, can't wait to see you again at Stitching in the Wild! Good luck on finishing Pandemic and on all your goals for 2025! Donna wants to do a stitch from stash year as well. Dena
Hey Dena and Donna!!! So good to see you both. I will be starting the stockings as they will be the table numbers for Faith’s wedding next December. Family commitments will keep us away from Stitching in the Wild. Weddings galore! I hope I can share my stocking with you. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!
Sheila, I hope you will share your stockings with me! You will need to finish your sooner than I will since you are using them as the table numbers for the wedding in December. But I plan on stitching one a month so I won't be too far behind you I hope. Dena
I was waiting for some music or movement from Santa. We have a Santa at work that you push a button and he wiggles and makes music. Cocoa would have jumped. Glad you got Santa Parade done.
This Santa is still and quiet, just watching everyone. LOL. Cocoa has quickly adjusted to him being in the front lobby area. She ignores him pretty much. Dena
Thank you Dena for a wonderful video. It was good to see Donna again. Enjoyed seeing your stitching. Have a blessed holiday. ❤ Safe travels.
Thanks Linda for stopping by to visit! I will make sure Donna checks out the comments so she can see all the love she is receiving. Dena
Great to see you Dena! Welcome Home is beautiful. I love hearing your plans, so thanks for sharing those and your WIPs and FFOs with us. Have a wonderful time on the cruise. I hope there are a few stitchers on there. Also thank you for the montage of Cocoa at the end. Happy Stitching!
Kaylin, thanks so much for visiting with us again! I appreciate the love for my Welcome Home by Cricket Collection. I am also hoping to meet stitchers on the cruise. I appreciate your wishing me luck in that endeavor. Happy Stitching to you for the remainder of November. Dena
Dena, Donna, and Cocoa……the perfect video
Well what a great sentiment! Thank you so much. Glad you could visit with us today. Dena
More gorgeous work as always. I look at these and wish......
Domie, you can do any of the things we do. They are all just one stitch at a time really. Dena
Dena, loved visiting with you and Donna and seeing all the finishes! Always love the “Coco” segments! Where did your husband find that Santa, I just love it!
Charlotte, my hubby saw it in our neighbors yard two years ago when she was having a moving sale. So he purchased it for a whopping $15.00. It is so cute. We usually have it outside on our front porch, but since we will be gone for several days, Santa is inside until we get back home. Happy Stitching! Dena
Great video Dena. So good to see Donna and all her beautiful stitching too. I just love how you and Tommy chat to Cocoa - we do the same with our dogs and cats. What a fabulous Santa. Our house is fully decorated or Christmatized. Thanks for sharing everything. Have a safe trip and happy stitching.
Susan, I do need to film my Christmas now that I have it up and ready. I am so glad you are enjoying your Christmas decor already. Yes, we chat with Cocoa so much that when Tommy is actually talking to me he has to call my name so I won't think he is talking to Cocoa. LOL. Dena
Hello Dena the Christmas finish is beautiful.love Autumn in the village. Thank you both for sharing. Happy stitching
Neil, thanks so much for visiting with us again. It was a timely finish for sure. Dena
Hi Dena and Donna, thank you both for sharing your awesome finishes! And Donna, love the changes you made with Hawk Run.😊
Diane, we don't come near the beautiful changes you make, but Donna does a lot more than I do for sure. I shared with Donna your planned changes in your current project and she loved your ideas. Dena
You and Donna both do such gorgeous stitching!!!!! I never tire of seeing you projects!!!! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
You are too kind! I will pass along your compliments to Donna. Dena
YAY!!!!!! Donna's here for a visit!!!!!!! So good to see her whenever she's over for a visit!!!!! 🙂
Thanks so much Gin. I always love it when Donna agrees to film with me. We have so much fun. Dena
Christmas Parade is so cute! I must get mine out in December and work on it. It was great to see Donna. Congrats to her on the BIG finish! I love her personalization. And, the other finishes are just so beautiful. Cocoa with Santa was too cute. Sounds like you are all ready for your trip. Happy Thanksgiving to you guys. ❤
Judy, we are just about completely ready. We have been busy making sure all bills are paid and we have all the clothes and stitching ready to pack. Cocoa will go to Fred's on Monday so we have this weekend with her and then we will start missing her immediately. LOL. Dena
Christmas Parade is so cute!! Glad to see Donna and her finishes!! And of course Cocoa!!!
Thanks so much for visiting with us all! I appreciate the compliments on the finishes very much. Have a great remainder of November! Dena
Hi Dena. Love Christmas parade! It’s adorable! Always happy to see Donna and sending congrats to her for her amazing finishes. Also love the fabric you are using on Stephanie’s gift. And I can’t not end with Cocoa and Santa. Love that fur baby. Happy turkey day and safe travels and have a wonderful vacation.
Thanks so very much for the love for Christmas Parade. I will pass along the congrats to Donna for sure. Appreciate the Thanksgiving wishes. The trip is getting close and we are so excited! Dena
I so look forward to your weekly recaps… congratulations on your Christmas Parade finish. The pattern reminds me so much of some of Teresa Kogut’s holiday designs, and I do love everything Teresa Kogut… I recently finished her Struttin’ pattern and am working towards a finish on Cottage Bouquet from her Hello Spring booklet. It was wonderful to see Donna again and her beautiful finishes. Enjoy your trip, and safe travels.
Norma, thanks so much for sharing my visit with Donna and for the lovely compliments on my finish of Christmas Parade. I am delighted to have it finished and am having a hard time deciding how I want to fully finish it. It will come to me. Happy Stitching. Dena
Dena...delightful visit with you and Donna...thanks for sharing your stitching and plans...congratulations on both of your finishes...and Santa was a big hit with Cocoa...Happy Thanksgiving and best wishes for your trip❤
Thank you so much! Donna and I always have fun and get each other in trouble with our stitching planning. LOL. Cocoa has been ignoring Santa ever since we put him up so I guess that is fine. Dena
Hi Dena I love your finish on Welcome home and loved the frame and I also loved the finish also and the framing on the cute witch. They really all came out beautiful and I love the colors in both projects. As you were going through your new starts I too have playing with jacks by the cricket collection and I also have halloweenies by plum street and may do those also as a new start. My favorite designers are Stoney creek, Joan Elliott, Shannon Christine, Diane Arthurs, (just to name a few) the list goes on but no matter what I start I always will love the pattern because there are so many fantastic designs out there and there are so many new designers. That's why I love this community that enjoy the same hobby in cross stitching after all it is a form of art and what we create with our hands and create new ideas that inspire us. I always love seeing the pictures of Cocoa when she was a pup up to the present. She makes me LOL. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Pat
Pat, are you interested in starting Playing with Jacks in September with us? Dena
Yes I would love to do the playing with jacks to stitch with you.
Yes I would love to
Your plans are coming right alone for next year. My life is so up in the air with taking care of my mom that I might have to just make plans as I go. I'm going to work Blue Rhapsody for your birthday since I did bring it with me to NC. Thank you for sharing Coco pictures. I miss Albert so much. My son did send me a great picture of him today. Take care.
Kanday, I know you miss Albert. Your life is in a different place right now so no pressure! You do what you can when you can and enjoy your time with your mom. Dena
Beautiful FFO. Love your plans with all the beautiful new starts. And Cocoa is so beautiful. Happy stitching
Thank you so much! Cocoa says thank. you as well. Looking forward to hearing your new plans for 2025 on your videos. Dena
My b-day is in December as well! I'm a x-mas baby which makes me laugh because I turn 71 this year,LOL!!!! 🙂
Gin, Happy Early birthday to you! I was due around Thanksgiving my mom told me, and my Dad always said I kept him from quail hunting that year because I didn't come until December 14th. LOL. Dena
Do you have any idea of when you’d like to start Isabella’s Garden? I have that one kitted up, too, and haven’t ever had a good excuse to start her. 😊
Sarah, Lori (Once Upon a Stitch) and I are starting Isabell's Garden in April. If you want to pick a particular day in the first half of the month, I'll start it with you on that particular day. Otherwise, we can just start it whenever in April if that fits with your rotation better. YAY, join us! Dena
@ Fun! I like to work on new starts on the weekend, because that gives me a little more time on it. I can pencil this one in for April 4th, if that works for you both, but feel free to suggest a different date, if that’s better. I’m pretty flexible. 😊
@@StitchinMommy April 4th works for me. I will let Lori know so she can plan her two day rotation around that. GREAT!
Oh I love your birthday start! Rosewood Manor is one of my favorite designers too. I’ll pull out a wip (because I don’t need another start) - will let you know which one I decide on (also, in my head I thought your bday was the 13th, so I’m glad to know the truth! 😂)❤❤
Yes ma'am, it is the 14th. You could pull out the one you started for my birthday last year and finish it if you haven't already by then! Dena
Oh everything is beautiful and your new start for your sister is too cute. And love the fabrics you have chosen for it and the proceeding ones. I will have to see whatI could start, usually don’t start for my bday as can never decide if 31st or the first to start.suppose can start 2 lol oh love. The home! Love it all.
Thanks so much Cindy! You should start one for your birthday for sure! I love to do that and make a special memory for a piece that means a lot to me. Hope you are having a great month! I will be traveling again starting the 26th but I can communicate through Facebook Messenger so feel free to message me. Dena
Hi Dena...love how your HOME came out, the frame and mat are perfect. Did you use the suggested fabric and threads? It's in my cart! That Coco is so darn cute!
Robin, I don't know if I used the called for fabric, but I know I got one that appeared very close from my stash. It was a really fun and quick stitch. Dena
Thanks for the updates. I really enjoy your videos. You have inspired my own stitching lately. I have chosen 6 projects that I am spinning for daily. Only 3 may get finished by the end of 2024 but everything will definitely be closer. On my wipgo board I also wanted to include this spin for a finish square that will be these same projects on a daily spin. A daily rotation is not my usual stitching but a mostly monogamous 2024 showed me that’s not my favourite style either. Thanks for inspiring me to try something different. Pushing towards a finish!
So happy to hear you are experimenting with stitching styles so you can find the style that really makes you happy. My style has changed over the years, but I do love it when I can push a project to a finish. I had someone say they were going to repeat the 3 months to the finish line next spring because they enjoyed it so much. Sounds fun, but as you know I have made some very big plans for 2025, so I better stick to them. Dena
I have not made any planes. I would love Donna to do her videos again. Love watching you every week. Have a blessed week.
Peggy, keep your fingers crossed. Donna mentioned she might get back into making videos next year. I will always love having her visit with me though. Dena
Dena...thanks for sharing all that you do and plan...happy birthday a little early...your Home framing is beautiful....Cocoa is so adorable...have a great cruise...looking forward to seeing your next posting❤❤
Loretta, so happy you enjoyed the video, even with all the planning in it. I am working on another video to have it ready on Sunday or Monday, then I will be absent for a couple of weeks as I travel. Will catch up when I return! Dena
❤isn't she lovelly!❤
She is lovely for sure! She is my baby girl (I call her that even though she is 5 now). Thanks for visiting with Cocoa and me. Dena
Another fun video as always. I really liked the different fabrics you choose. I will order a few today 😊 Im finishing my wips and starting Christmas ornaments and smalls. I like to put the ornaments on gift boxes and give smalls as stocking stuffers. Cocoa is so cute. I had 7 teacup & toy poodles. I only have 3 of the little 'herd" now. Fur babies are family and give us such joy and love. ❤ Take care. Watch out for strong winds...you've lost so much weight, you may blow away. Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family.
Carolyn, you are so kind to warn me of strong winds. LOL. I have really made a significant change in my life. I love your idea of putting the ornaments on gift boxes. I am happy you have 3 of your fur babies still with you. Give them all kisses on their forehead from Dena!
I may need to get Playing with Jacks kitted up and join in! That chart has been in my stash for a while now! Thanks for starting your 2025 plans...always helps me get mine going as well! Enjoy your stitching! ((hugs))
Karla, get your Playing with Jacks out and get it kitted. You have time! We won't start until September! Dena
Beautiful FFO's Dena. Thanks for sharing. Cocoa sure has fun and looks like she loves her bath. Happy stitching
Linda, thanks so much for the love for my FFO's! Cocoa doesn't mind her bath, but after a little while she is over it. LOL. Dena
Your ffo's are beautiful. I really enjoy listening to all of your plans. They give me lots of good ideas for my plans. The fabric choice for Playing with Jacks is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing so much with us. I look forward every week to your next video. I'm very happy you're going on a dream vacation, but I'm sure going to miss you!! I truely enjoy the pics of Cocoa. What a cutie
Carla, thanks so much for the kind words regarding my videos and my planning ideas. We are going on a dream vacation and I am so excited! I will miss Cocoa more than I can say though. I know she is in good hands with Fred's parents (and Fred too), but I will miss her terribly. Dena
I thought your welcome home finish was beautiful. Great choice on the frame. It's funny that you are planning to start Playing With Jax, because I just FFO'd mine last month. I'd like to show you the small changes I made to fit the frame I already had.😁
Diane, please do! Send me an email with the pictures! Dena
Hello Dena, it's great to see you again. I hope you are doing well. Your plans sound so fun for the upcoming year. Chris, Hildegard and myself along with a few others in our stitching library group are planning to start a Celtic Lady from Lavender and Lace on December 1st and then several of us are starting Shores of Hawk Run Hallow as our New Year starts. Along with many of us also trying to finish up Pandemic that we started this year. Lots of stitching, but lots of joy comes out of those stitches. I hope you have a wonderful vacation and enjoy your Birthday start. Happy stitching.
WOW, you guys are starting some heavy hitters. Do you know which Celtic Lady you will be starting? I have several myself, but I want to start the patriotic one first and she is fully kitted. Maybe in 2026. Have fun! Please tell Hildegard and Chris hi from Dena
@ Hildegard and I and another stitcher are starting Noel, Chris is starting Spring I believe along with another member of our small group. I can't wait to see your start. They are beautiful patterns.
Love them all! Wonderful to start on December 1st! Have fun all of you!
I enjoy your FlossTubes and seeing all of your stitching. I’m also very impressed by your planning! And since you asked, I’m planning a year of Long Dogs and Friends! I’ve got three Long Dogs, two that are in progress and one kitted up, plus two big ones from another designer, Historiche Stickmuster, and probably a Caroline Manning.
Joan, your stitching is intense! I so admire those of you who stitch Caroline Manning and the Historiche Stickmuster designs I have seen are beautiful, but intense with the stitching. I love my one and only Long Dog and may have to find another one in a year or so. Have a great year of Stitching these great designs. Dena
Beautiful framed Home piece!!! Love all your plans!! Cocoa is the sweetest!!!
Thanks so much for the compliments on Welcome Home by the Cricket Collection. I think it is precious. Cocoa also thanks you for the kind compliment. Dena
Dena - Small Gift looks absolutely beautiful in that frame! I'm planning to do 25 new starts next year. I'll put 24 of them on my WIPGO board and the 25th will be a birthday start. I can't wait to see Nativity finished next year, and I'm excited to see you start all of these projects. Happy stitching! - TaMara
TaMara, I am excited to start all these things as well. Can't wait in fact. I keep making myself not pull them out ahead of time. LOL. Dena
According to my rotation schedule, I'll help celebrate your bday by stitching Elegant Plumage by Steve Hunziker, charted by Heaven & Earth (HAED) designs. Have a wonderful trip & happy stitching!🚄
Thank you so much for even remembering me on my birthday. I hope you make great progress on your HAED Elegant Plumage. Thanks for the travel wishes as well. Dena
Oh my Dena , your piece Small Gift looks absolutely stunning! The girl resembles you 😃
Vicki, the lovely young woman at Hobby Lobby that does my framing said she jokingly told her co-workers she was going to put a little gold plate on it with my name of it because she thinks the little girls looks like me as well. LOL. Dena
Thank you for sharing your time and thoughts. Love the pictures of Cocoa, what a sweet baby. Happy stitching Dena. ❤
Linda, thanks so much for hanging in there with me and all the plans for 2025! Dena
