Yes! by a lot (as you heard)... and I'm loving it! :-) Thanks for stopping by!!

Thanks for stopping by ... I love the Grand Haven area. Haven't been there in a few years, I think I should plan a camping trip over that way. I always love seeing the dancing fountain!

Thanks Taryn ... yeah, my husband would not understand how you can live that way, LOL. I was a little taken aback when he said the new house had to have a fiber connection because he wasn't going backwards. I was like "high speed wireless isn't good enough?" and he said NO ... so I'm really glad we found something we could both be happy with.

Thank you Michele! So glad you could stop by and see what I've been working on. I am loving that tool bench (which is good because I'm pretty sure it's not going anywhere, LOL) ~Katrina

Thanks Amber! I do love it and the only thing that will make me love it more is to have it be the only house I own ... I'm trying to be patient!

Thanks for visiting!

Hi Connie! From what I understand, that was the first meet-up, but they are planning on having it every 3rd Saturday of the month. Maybe we'll meet sometime at one of them. It's an hour drive for me, but I am hoping to go again, but I know I can't go every month. I love A Stitch 'n Time, but it can also be a bit overwhelming ... so much stitchy goodness in there.

Thanks Kay! Glad to hear your room is coming along!

Hi Kate! I really want to work on my full coverage/HAEDs, but feel like I really need to get some of these smaller pieces out of the way (esp. the lighthouses) so they aren't hanging over my head! I am using plain old ordinary double-sided tape to mount the stitching into the scrapbook ... I'm praying it will hold. I iron a piece of Pellon "stabilizer" to each one before I tape it in there. I loved stitching the Autumn Rules piece and am really hoping to fully finish it this weekend and get it hung on the wall. Yesterday I was watching someone and they showed a Christmas Rules piece by Primrose Cottage ... I might have to get that one .... later. I do like their designs. 🙂 ohhhhh ... that would be fun to do a SAL with the Shannon Christine pieces. I'll keep that in mind! I will have to look up the dyer on the yarn, I'll try to do that when I get home from work. 25 in 25: this year I put together a 24 in 24 list ... a list of 24 books, many that had been languishing on my TBR for way too many years, that I wanted to be sure to get read this year. I need to get my rear in gear, I still have 10 on there to get read. I'm thinking I'll do it again next year, although I don't know how many years I can realistically keep up-ing that number, LOL This is the workbench I bought (www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-Tool-Storage-46-in-W-Standard-Duty-Gloss-White-Mobile-Workbench-Cabinet-with-Solid-Top-Full-Length-Extension-Table-HOTC4609BJ5M/317060709) -- not cheap, BUT it was cheaper than buying base cabinets and countertop -- I also got it on sale, about $100 less than that. It is VERY heavy, but I LOVE it!! So glad you could stop by for a visit ... as always, eagerly awaiting your next video!!

@@TheCraftyCatalogerI’m editing a video right now. It’s from the end of last month so super up to date. Hahaha The 25 in 25 could work on a bingo board. You could WIPGO it with the WIPGO numbers.

Just looked at the work bench and am worried it’s too heavy for the second floor, however we are hoping to move in the next year or so to a one story and I think it would be perfect post move. I’ll just keep the link open on my phone. Hahaha

@@KatesCraftingCorner yes … it is super heavy. I can’t imagine how many brawny guys you’d have to have to heft that up stairs, and yeah, I’d be worried about the floor being strong enough to hold it. I really lucked out because when we originally looked at this house I thought my craft room was going to be in the basement, but then my husband and son decided they wanted their computers down there … they didn’t get any arguments from me. I’m thinking if I’d ended up down there I might not have been able to get the workbench.

@@KatesCraftingCorner that’s a great idea and would help me keep on track!

Thanks! So glad you could stop by and see what I've been up to!

Thansk Faith!!

Thank you! Happy stitching to you as well!

Thanks Leah Noel! I actually enjoy organizing stuff. Maybe that's what I should have pursued as a career, LOL I am not very creative sometimes though, so I am with you, it helps to see what others are doing, even if I take those ideas and modify them to fit my space. I really am hoping to get back to an every other month recording schedule 🤞🤞

Welcome! Thank you for stopping by and subscribing. That means a lot to me!

Hi Jenny!!!!!!! I always love seeing that you've stopped by!

I really wish the old place would hurry up and sell so we can move forward with our plans. Your comments always make me chuckle ... Yeah, i don't think I'd like to become a nudist either (it would also be quite cold here in MI, LOL) Ohhhhh ... now I want to start Sumatran Lace even more so we'll have a WIP in common!

Thanks for watching! It was great to get to stitch with you last weekend!

Thanks Carlene! I think I am really going to enjoy this craft room a lot ... hopefully that will mean I have more stuff to show in future videos. 🙂

Hi Elisa ... me too! So excited!!

Well, I kinda snuck in a little late! 🙂 Looking forward to seeing you at a future meet up!

Hi Jacque, so glad you could stop by and see what I've been up to! I don't mind the unpacking/organizing part (the packing part stinks ...) and was really glad I had plenty of BTO so I was able to take almost a full 2 weeks off to putter around and get things settled. I'm loving my new room also ... the tool box came from Home Depot. Home Depot and Lowe's both have different variations of them (Menards has a couple, but none I seriously looked at). Home Depot seemed to be the only place that had the version with the drop-leaf top, and the drop-leaf only seems to be available in that size (which is good, I might have considered getting one size bigger and I'd have been in trouble, one size bigger would not have fit in that room). If you ever do decide to purchase, beware -- it's HEAVY (I think it weighs almost 300lbs). I originally was going to purchase it and have it delivered to the new house, but about a week before closing I noticed it was on sale, so I ended up purchasing it, and it was delivered to the old house and we had to move it. Moving and then maneuvering it into that room -- well let's just say I probably owe my husband, son and FIL a nice steak dinner or something, LOL Looking forward to your next update! 🙂

Hi Kim! I’m excited to meet some stitchy friends in person. Hope you’ll be able to make it!

Thanks Rainey!

You posting about getting that Bible cover is what put me down the rabbit hole of seeing if I could make one, lol

@@TheCraftyCataloger you did an awesome job!

Hi Carlene! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you find something in that list to read that you enjoy. There are lots of good ones there!

Hi Jenny!! Thanks for the early birthday wishes … I bet those fabrics were ones I sent. I’m so glad you were able to use them!

Hi Valerie! I hope we’re don’t ever get snow in May, lol … it’s bad enough to still get it in April!! I’m glad to hear you were able to get some stitching done while hanging out with me! Happy Stitching!!🧵

Thanks Faith! Glad you could stop over!

Thanks Melanie! We aunts gotta spoil those nieces and nephews when we can!! :-)

Thank you!! 🙂

Hi Melanie! Thank you. I enjoy working on that Victorian bookstore A LOT and am kind of sad that I'll be switching to a different project at the end of this week. Gotta love being able to use your hand as a map.. LOL

No, it's an iPad Air. I had a mini and upgraded to the Air. I felt like if I was going to do the digital planning I would want the bigger screen and I'm glad I went with it ... I'm loving the Apple pencil too!

@@TheCraftyCataloger can you use an Apple Pencil with the mini? I have the first generation Apple Pencil and I feel like it’s starting to lose its charge too fast and it’s a pain to keep track of the tiny little adapter it comes with, so I’d like to upgrade both my devices.

@@RaineyDayReads Rainey, I believe the newest Apple Pencil is compatible with the sixth generation iPad mini, as well as the iPad Air and iPad Pro. I did consider getting another mini just because it is such a convenient size to drop in a purse or a small bag so I was very nervous going back to a full-sized iPad but I’m finding I don’t mind it … even a medium size purse I can usually pop it into, but I think the air might be smaller than the pro I don’t know for sure though.

@@TheCraftyCataloger it looks smaller than my Pro so that might be a good option!

Hi Rainey! Thank you, and thank you for taking the time to check out my channel and subscribe! I've thought that as well, while watching your videos ... I feel like if we lived closer to each other, there's a good chance we be IRL friends, we seem to have a lot in common and a lot of the same tastes! 🙂

@@TheCraftyCataloger definitely we would!

Hi Kim ... it's hard to tell, especially since now it's blowing around, but I'm guessing we got at least 18" if not closer to 2 feet. I just looked out the window and it's snowing again ... I think this must be the lake effect snow they said we were going to get. We are usually about the tail end of that, but it's coming down pretty good. It'll be interesting to see if my husband has school tomorrow. Hope you're staying warm and not having to shovel too much!

@TheCraftyCataloger Holy cow! We got about another 1.5" last night so total of less than 7 but hard to tell cus it's blowing now and not as wet. My new snowblower works great! Just a little sad my pup isn't here to enjoy it because she loved the snow!

Hi Kay! Hope all is well with you! Happy New Year ... I hope you're getting lots of knitting (and stitching?) done! 🙂

@@TheCraftyCataloger Indeed I am! I"m actually gathering supplies to film today! (you heard is here first!)

@@kayinthecave YAY!!!!!!!!

Hi Jenny! (Thanks for the Christmas card ... your kiddos are getting so grown up looking!) I do love working on Pandemic. There is something very soothing about working on those monochromatic pieces!

Julie ... maybe our busses will stop at the same stop so we can see each other, cause that's exactly where I've been lately as well. (I'm pretty sure you've put out about 3 videos that I haven't watched yet ... talk about feeling like a lousy friend ...) Those tree people were pretty hearty people out there cutting down that tree in the snow, but I was glad they were able to come before the big storm hit so we could sort of get things "cleaned up/organized" before we got all this snow.

@@TheCraftyCataloger meh. No need to catch up on mine. Don't feel bad. My mom still has cancer, the dog still has dementia, but got over the UTI, Alyssa is pregnant with a girl and work is insanely busy. There, you are caught up. I'm sorry you are on the struggle bus. I'm here if you ever need/want to talk. Judgment free zone.

Hi Faith! You should definitely make a WIPGO board for your cards. I hope you have a great January as well! Happy crafting!

Hi Jacque! Thanks for visiting friend! Happy New Year

Hi Sarah! Thanks for stopping by to see what I've been up to. Well, so far I've only ventured out of the house once (to church) ... there's a lot out there. Not sure exactly how much, but I'd guess at least 18" if not 2 feet. UGH!! I don't mind too much, but it would be nicer if we didn't get it all at once, LOL Happy Stitching!

Thank you for stopping by and for the suggestion … I will for sure go check her videos out. I really do think that is the way to go with this project! Happy stitching and Happy New Year!

Thanks for stopping by Carlene! I was enjoying seeing your posts on IG around Christmas time ... thanks for sharing!

Hi Amber! Thanks for stopping by! I hope your school year is going well! I see you put up a video a couple of weeks ago ... I have to go watch (I'm woefully behind!!) 🙂
