🎉🎈🎉
Thank you so so much for the bag, it’s really wonderful. I will send you an email now and it starts with bexy… just so you know its me 😀💗
You're so very welcome! I'll send you tracking as soon as I get it sent.
Hope you have a great weekend too! Not to rub it in, but we were in the low 60's today. 😏
Oh, yeah, I'm so jealous! 😁 I'm just thankful we're not in the nineties anymore. I suppose I'll just have to be grateful for that. Enjoy your autumn weather! 🍁🍂🍃
@@HecatesNeedle-ei6xj Thank you!
Hi Sherri. I started binging your channel and I'm loving it. You and I have similar taste in stitching. I'm also a quilter and like you I don't have a close stitching friend. Keep on stitching on.😊
Thank you! I'm glad you like it! 😊 How cool that we stitch similar things! We'll be enabling each other. 😁
I realised that i hadn’t made it to the end of this video so I ended up watching it while trying to get today’s 500 stitches done. Such wonderful patterns and well, of course the one from me or enabled by are the best ones. 😂😂😂 +giggles+ It was also fun to see your stitchy corner and where everything is kept. ❤
Well, so many of them were either from you or enabled by you. Lol. You know me so well! 😁
Love seeing all your projects... especially Beautiful Biomes. Would love a flip through of the Christmas cross stitch since I have not purchased it yet. 😮 The pumpkin bag is fabulous, and your little Jelly Bean is quite the mischievous cat. 💕
My flip-through of the Christmas edition is here: ua-cam.com/video/KWs7vH7ajKU/v-deo.htmlsi=RVsSwsG57vutQIpa It had some nice designs in it that I plan to stitch. I love the Beautiful Biomes. It's been a very enjoyable stitch. Oh my Jelly Bean...he's a holy terror. 🤣 I adore him! He keeps us from getting bored. 😂 He's an absolute demon up until he gets sleepy. At that point, he turns into a bundle of snuggles and purrs. How could I possibly be mad at him? Lol
@@HecatesNeedle-ei6xj Thank you! Yes, I'm probably the only person that has not bought it yet. 😏
I got it with my subscription. That's why I got it so early. I used to wait until it was at a local store so I could look through it first. 🤣
💜💜💜
Aaaa that cat pattern is so cute! And I've almost bought the hourglass you keep showing twice, I really should just go ahead and get my own copy 😂
Yeah, there are just too many cute patterns! You know, I bought the hourglass kit specifically for my son, but I'm tempted to get another one for me. 😂
Another great video, I always enjoy seeing your projects even if they aren’t always things I would stitch. It’s great your husband is so supportive of your hobby. Love the pumpkin bag, wish I could make things like that. I also like the cat pattern too, I’m enjoying stitching more Halloween projects this year, hopefully I will have some finishes to display for next year! I absolutely love your fabric haul 😀💗
Thank you! ❤️ I'm hoping to get to more holiday projects. I need to stop stressing myself out with making so many of our Christmas gifts. 😂 My husband is awesome about my hobbies. Honestly, though, he says he likes having the house decorated with unique homemade things. Fingers crossed for your finishes! 🤞🤞🤞
I got a huge pumpkin from my husband's uncle and today I am planning to make jam out of it.
I've got 2 pumpkins waiting to be pureed in the kitchen. Lol
Automatic like ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Your daughters gift looks really good! Hope you get your stitchytime to get done what you need/want to do for Christmas!! The cat and pumpkin look really wonderful <3 And your quilting/cutting looks so organized! I should tryout those envelopes!! Your fabrichaul are just so fabulous!!
Thank you! Yes, I need to get the Christmas stitching done. I want to get some of my other WIPs finished, but I need to focus on the Christmas stitching. I'm hoping, though! Lol The plastic envelopes were from Amazon. They help so much! They make such a difference for someone as scatterbrained as me. 🤣
This my reaction everytime i see you upload 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
💜💜💜
Your so talented❤❤❤
Thank you!
Your videos are the best ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
You truly have "a couple" of charts waiting for the future! Hope you will make it past 200 years, because I've estimated being 467 by the time I have mine done... Would love the company <3 Happy Stitching! ps. I think I'm going to copy you on the cup!!
We'll be 2 400 year old ladies stitching away together! 😊 Laura will probably be with us! 😂 The cup has helped. No more trying to decide which one to stitch next. Just pull one out of the cup! 😁
@@HecatesNeedle-ei6xj I think I'll make my cup 🥳 And yes, 2400 sounds more realistic 🤣
Especially since we just keep adding charts as we go. 😂
@@HecatesNeedle-ei6xj Not our fault! Designers keeping on giving 🤷♀️ and we just have to support them 🤭
@missinginastitch Very true! We're supporting artists!
Yes yes yes for the bag! Is there anyone who would say no⁉ 😆
It looks like I'll be doing a giveaway for Halloween! 😂
Thanks for the flip through of the two magazines. There are some gorgeous patterns in both ..the Garden one is so totally you. 🏡
You're very welcome! Yes, the garden one is most definitely on my list! 🌱🌱🌱
I love Dimensions kits. You are definitely entitled to your own opinion. You make a good point about the complexity of the patterns. Those extra stitches and details are the reason I take forever to finish those projects! Love your channel and your honesty. Thank you for posting! ❤
Thank you! I love having you here! Oh, Dimensions definitely does have some gorgeous artwork! I've stitched several over the years (okay, decades 😬), but now, there are too many other choices that suit me better. I suppose I'm just old and cranky. 😂 I have seen some that tempt me, though. You never know, I might cave and buy some of them. 🤷♀️ I can promise to always be honest about my opinions, though, both negative and positive. I can't seem to help myself. 😁
@@HecatesNeedle-ei6xjwe appreciate you for who YOU are and YOU are the reason we come back to watch your videos! ❤
🥰 Aawww...thank you!
when you change one of the cats to orange, you could experiment with a gently variegated orange floss to get him a bit stripey.
Oh, that's a fabulous idea! Thanks! 😍
1:18 on some of those magazines the bar code on the front might have an indication of what month/year issue it is written above the ”lines”.
Yes, I checked there. It just had the price along with "value pack." I'm assuming it was just a promotional thing with the 2-for-1 deal. I think the World of Cross Stitch was the May 2024 issue, although I'm just going off images I later found on Google. 🤷♀️
Good going on those finishes. The finished SALs look so good.
Thanks so much! 🥰
Thank you for the flipthough. The puffin would be wonderful to stitch!!
I've already put the puffin in my cup. It's so cute!
I love Margarets charts. She was one of the first designers I knew about and that was thanks to Cross Stitcher magazine that could be found here in Finland (the first one I found back in 2004). Unfortunately she died, so no more new charts from her 😢
I had never seen any of her charts until now, but they're so cute. That's sad that she's gone.
I have had the Durene Jones Fantastic Feathers peacock kitted up since it was first published loooooooong ago. I really need to stitch it! I might make it one of my 25 starts next year?
I'm definitely going to have to stitch it. It's beautiful! I'd definitely love to see pictures of your progress once you start it!
I'm going to track this down, the little picnic fox must be stitched!!
Isn't it adorable??? 😍 I put a link in the description box, but I found mine at my local Barnes & Noble, so you can try there.
Your husband is a keeper! Happy stitching while you are under enforced house arrest!
I happen to agree! 😁 Thanks! I will!
Your finishes are beautiful... especially The Herbalist! Love that pattern. Most of your charts/projects are so cool...and one"unique" one...aka Voodoo Doll. 😳. I had to laugh when you found the duplicate....I bought 3 of the same Texas pattern within a year.
Thanks! Yeah, when I found the duplicate pattern, all I could think was, "Well, at least I'm consistent!" I'm glad to see I'm not alone. 🤣 I do enjoy everyone's reactions to the creepy doll pattern. My husband is a twisted man. 😂
@@HecatesNeedle-ei6xj I like to think he is "unique". 😏. Would love to see a flip through on your new books as well as a PDF parade
@Aspen_stitcher He's certainly unique. Lol. We're perfect for each other. Lol
Goddamn! So many FFOs!!!! I am green with envy as I never get anything done after I finish a project. lol. Wow, the skull sal got such a cool frame. I like that one a lot! But all the finishes look amazing!! That new skulls sal really does look amazing!!! And I didn’t know or you dyed that fabric yourself. Wow! It is perfect. Anyway, I hope there will be plenty more plants on that sal. I do love it that your GingerStitchAU needleminder collection keeps slowly growing. Yay! They always seem to have something that I think you will like.
All the needle minders you send me are perfect! I figured it was time to start fully finishing all my stitches. I don't want them piling up to the point where they overwhelm me. 😁
i would like to see all pdf charts too!!!❤
I can do that! 😁
Wonderful ffo!! The Sushi cat looks just happy to have his fish <3 You've had a great shopping spur and got everything nice :) So hot .... I would not cope!! Hope your airconditioning makes it's way through the heatseason! And the panelfabric - oh what a wonderful piece of fabric!! Have fun sewing them into projectbags!! <3
Thank you! I was really happy with how the FFO turned out. I think my husband will like it. Yes, I did a little too much shopping, but once in a while, it's okay to splurge. 😁 It is definitely too hot here. We've adjusted the temperature on our thermostat so the air conditioning doesn't have to struggle with the heat. It's just too miserable outside. At least I have my stitching and sewing to keep me busy inside. I'm excited about turning the panels into project bags! 🤩
❤❤❤❤
The box is gorgeous! Such a wonderful treat! ❤️😍❤️
Sooo much wonderful stitching. Yippee!!! Wow, that baby Mario is so huge!!!!! I had no idea. I thought it was a tiny project. lol. Wow! All the SALs are looking wonderful. Honestly, I like the Vampyrum on that fabric. The similar purple doesn’t bother me there at all. It looks great! Wow, Herbalist is almost finished and yet another pattern starring Hecate. 😂 I do think you should have changed the woman’s hair to red though… ❤ Kevin will so love the sushi cat. For some reason I adore the shape of the cat’s head! lol. Oh boy, the cat kit from Russia is so adorable!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Haha! I almost sent the sleepy cat to you! 😁 I figured you had enough, though. 🤣 Of course, Christmas is coming up... 🤔😁
You are incrediblly beautifull
Thank you
No. No. Definitely not a book for me! lol. 😂 I know you keep calling the patterns cute, but no. +giggling+ Edit: I forgot that the cats in front of the moon was pretty cool though ❤
😁 Ah, but you know I love my Halloween/Witchy patterns. At least there aren't any zombie dolls without eyes. 😂
@@HecatesNeedle-ei6xj I most definitely need to see how the cup looks after all the projects from this book get added to it!!!
I might have to upgrade to a bigger cup! 🤣
I might have to upgrade to a bigger cup! 🤣
I have to wait until 8/28 to get the Kindle version 😢 I already know I'm gonna stitch the stunt flying one
Woohoo! I also got mine today!
Yes! I was so excited! I want to stitch most of them! 😍
Hi Sherry and Cheeto! Love how the kitties take over wherever they want and we make do with the leftovers LOL! Great box and patterns! The needle minder is so cute. Love and hugs to you and the zoo! Dawn
I've just grown accustomed to sitting in the hard broken chair. Lol. Normally, it's Hecate who steals the sewing chair, but Cheeto beat us both to it. 🤣
Oh what a wonderful "do not bend" box! Full with awesome things!! The scissorfob looks cute and the box; wow what a wonder!! Happy for you! Will be waiting to see what you will fill it with :)
I love the box! It's just beautiful. I haven't decided yet, what I want to put in it. It will certainly be kept on a shelf out of reach of wild Jelly Beans, though, so he can't throw it in the floor. 😬
The box is gorgeous! Love the Gothic Bat pattern too. LOL...what we don't do for our cats. 😏
Yes! I'll definitely be stitching the Gothic Bat pattern! The cats are definitely in charge, aren't they? My son claims that while we domesticated dogs, we did NOT domesticate cats. They just realized that we had food and we're willing to share. 🤣
@@HecatesNeedle-ei6xj Exactly!
That was fun! Thank you for sharing! I like the Hot mess one- ha!
I really like that one, too! 🤣 Thanks for joining us! ❤️
Hi Sherry! So sorry you re-injured your ankle. You really do need to be wrapped in bubble wrap! I thought I was clutzy but I think you have me beat. LOL You have so many beautiful kits. I have a ton of them also and was starting 2 kits a month so they were WIPs and I would pull them out to work on but fell behind when I lost my stitching bug. We won't talk about my chart stash! The countdown to the move is on, less than a week now until we spend our first night in the new house. I am exhausted just thinking of the organizing I will have to do all over again. It will take me a while to re-organize my stitching stuff as I plan to pull all the floss I have in projects I have kitted and start stitching from my master set so I am not always hunting for floss when I have the total DMC collections. I have 2 rolling carts with stitching stuff in that I want to set up right by my computer since I stitch at my computer desk 99% of the time while watching floss tube and TV. Take care of yourself my friend. Love to you and the zoo. Dawn
Oh, I'm definitely a complete klutz. Whenever my husband shakes his head and asks, "how in the hell did you...???", I just look at him and say, "I warned you." After 33 years, my son has just come to expect that every time he talks to me, I will have some sort of injury. 🤣 I have no explanation. My charts! I have soooo many charts! That parade will take some planning and organizing. Lol. I typically prefer the charts to the kits. I also just recently stopped stitching from my master stash. I got a bunch of floss drops and just throw those in my project bags. Like you, I got tired of having to hunt for the colors I needed. As for where i stitch, i suppose the answer is everywhere? I have no set spot. It's wherever i happen to be sitting. Lol I'm sure you're dreading all the work of moving, but I know it's exciting, too. I so wish I could move, but no such luck. We're stuck here. I can't wait to hear all about your new house! Take care and have fun! *hugs*
You have a great variety to stitch from!! Have fun with them, once you get to stitching!!
Thank you! I will. I'll be starting some of them before the end of the year. I want to get them done! 😁
Hi Sherry! Lovely to see you again! You always brighten my day. I will text you sometime this week. My daughter and son-in-law occasionally have to go to the Houston area and I would love to come visit you if/when it happens but will get more personal info from you through the texts so it is not published, so don't be surprised if you get a text from me later this week or weekend (currently 8/1). Love your new SAF bookmark, so adorable! Love the Happy Meal term for a SAF! I am really enjoying your stitching of The Herbalist SAL. Really nice progress on the Bee Mandala. It is looking great! Love, love, love Moonstruck and the Maine Coon stitch. My mom's cat is a male Maine Coon and he is thoroughly enjoying being the only cat in the household right now. Holy progress Batman! Say Sushi is progressing rapidly! Great progress on your gift for hubby! Congrats on finishing the black outline of the frame of Deadly Aquarium. The opalescent fabric for it showed up really well on the camera today. What great progress overall. What a beautiful project bag Laura sent you! Lovely stash enhancement. The Pusheen kit is so cute! Oh Sherry, I am so sorry you have injured the ligaments in your ankle. Hope you heal without surgery. Will be leaving shortly to go get the keys for the new place, so relieved to be moving. Received the cremation package of Baby today. It was such an emotional moment again but the service was impeccable. The carved wooden box is beautiful and it has an engraved plate with Baby's name on it and her ashes are inside it. There is a key ring that has her paw print engraved on it and her birth date and death date on the back of it, a bookmark with the Rainbow Bridge story on it, and another card with a packet of wildflower seeds attached and a lovely poem printed on the front along with the cremation certificate. They came to the house and picked her up when she passed and returned all the above items to the house for a bit under $200. The name of the company is Paws in Paradise. They also do home euthanasia if needed, then provide the above services. There was also a more expensive plan and a less expensive plan. They are based out of Killeen in case anyone you know needs the service. Okay, time to get off of here. Hope you are doing better. Take care of yourself. Pets and kisses to your zoo! Dawn
Omg, I've lost so many pets over the years (we ALWAYS have fuzzy little babies) that hearing about Baby coming home to you brought tears to my eyes. I've heard of that company before, and it's always good things. Our vet (for the past forever many years) is always who handles our babies. They do similar with the lovely urns/boxes, a beautiful card with the Rainbow Bridge on it, etc. They also give us a little charm for each, whether dog or cat, and do a plaster casting of their paw for us. When we got our Athena (our sweet, sweet St. Bernard mix) back, the plaster cast had some mud streaks on it that had me crying uncontrollably. She absolutely LOVED romping through the mud from the time she was a baby. Anyway, it's always a comfort to have them back with you. How exciting that you may come to Houston!!! By all means, we'll figure out a way to get together. I might be limping a bit, but I can still walk! 😁 I'm hoping to finish the Sushi WIP in the next week, fingers crossed. 🤞I'm also hoping to get some sewing done (finally!), although I'm trying to be good and let my ankle heal. My theory is that sitting at my sewing machine still keeps me off my foot, right? 😁 Good luck moving! I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to hear all about your new place! ❤️
All that hand movement is very irritating to watch.
I'm unable to sit without moving. Perhaps my channel isn't for you.
Hi Sherry! So nice to see Hecate and Cheeto laying together. Congrats on finishing Femurs and Fungi! The FQS SAL is so cute! I love Beautiful Biomes. What a wonderful piece. So glad all of you are okay after the hurricane and life is returning to normal. We have a move day of 8/14. We have movers coming in who will pack everything up, disassemble anything that needs it, load it, transport it, and reassemble anything they disassembled so "all" we have to do is unpack. They will put the boxes in the respective rooms. I am excited to be in a home again instead of an apartment with people dropping stuff on the ceiling at all hours and loud music way past curfew (not that I am asleep but it does bother Walter). Sick of this complex changing the rules all the time. The town we are moving to is Temple, general southwest area. They have gotten ridiculous. I so enjoy your floss tubes and feel like I am catching up with a friend. Hope you have a fabulous week with the zoo providing lots of laughs. Dawn
Yay!!! I'm so happy you'll get to move soon! How exciting! I'm jealous. I'd love to leave this place. Unfortunately, this is where I'm stuck, for now. I'm glad you'll have the moving crew to help. That takes a load of work off of you. I admit, I'm really loving the Beautiful Biomes. I'm always excited to see what's next. The FQS Halloween SALs are usually a fun little stitch. I always just use whatever I have in stash, and they're usually quick and easy. I know Temple. My husband goes there for work pretty often. It's nicer than where we live. 🤣 I'm so glad you're getting out of the apartment. I've lived in an apartment before. It just sucks. In recent years, they've gotten pretty expensive, too. I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to hear all about it! Of course, we're friends! ❤️
@@HecatesNeedle-ei6xj It would be so nice if we could actually meet and stitch together sometime your husband has time to kill in Temple and you went with him.
@sunrise49738 Yes, it would! ❤️
Hi Sherry! I am so far behind in floss tubes, as you can tell by my late response. I lost my stitchy bug for about 3 weeks after the fire next door and all the ensuing chaos plus spending hours looking for a new place to rent. Then Baby started getting sick so stress about her and now she has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I miss my fur baby so much. I am so used to her jumping up on my desk and purring away while I am stitching. Love your WIPs and so happy you started this floss tube channel. Hugs to you and the zoo! Dawn
Oh, no! I'm sooooo sorry about your baby!!! Big hugs for you! ❤️ I've been there many times, and it's always so heartbreaking. You're in my heart.
My goodness!!!! You really have been making the most amazing progress on your wips. Kevin’s Xmas present is so close to being finished already. Wow! And hey, I loved the elderberries on the herbalist sal. Were they French knots? So even sized!!! You really are a master at those. Ooh, I didn’t realise that the Pusheen box had several patterns. Awesome!!! And I am so happy that you liked my little gift. Woohoo!!!!
The little elderberries are just crosses, not french knits. I thought about making them knots, but the pattern just called for crosses. Yes, I'm making progress. The Maine Coon should go even quicker since I've finished with the blends, and Kevin's present is turning out to be an easy stitch. I'm hoping the other Christmas ones are just as easy. Of course I loved the bag! That fabric is amazing! If I could find it, I'd use it to make clothes! Lol Thank you again! ❤️
Belated birthday wishes to your hubby 💐 Lovely progress! And happy dance for the bookmark 💃 Good you got out of the house, at least for a day!
Thank you! ❤️ I admit, it felt good to get out for the day. Hopefully, we'll get to do it more often.
Thank you once again for keeping me company while I try to get through a tedious task. This time it was restarting a dimensions kit and moving the threads to a different holder. Took forever!!! To get through those days without electricity, I would have needed to be on drip with something cold from Starbucks, I think. lol. I wouldn’t have managed otherwise. I would have been sooo sick. Ugh.
Impossible. Starbucks also had no power and was closed. Lol. We had ice, though, so we had cold drinks. We also used melted ice to soak washcloths to help keep cool. Hurricanes are always an adventure! 😬 Dimensions are just too much for me. I don't know how you do it! Lol
@@HecatesNeedle-ei6xj +giggles+ I think the whole Dimensions thing is a sickness!!!! Self torture for nothing. lol. I need to go to rehab for it.
