You are a wonderful flosstuber and a wonderful designer, Becca. Stay positive and things will turn around. It seems that very few designers have been putting out a box and perhaps only people or businesses in a higher cash flow position can afford to do that because of the financial risk involved. Christmas and winter in general is a tough time of year for a lot of people. Also there's a lot of competition in the industry for boxes or advent boxes in general. Just keep doing what you do best and give things more time. Keep doing what you love and keep being you.
Sorry I am so late in watching your flosstube, but I am way behind. Love your finishes and your progress on you wips. You are not alone with the Mill Hill kits, I must have at least 100 kits. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Happy stitching!
Love your channel and don't live too far from you...used to live in brem, silver and pouls...recently saw your designs at 123 stitch and they are wonderful
Your tree is so gorgeous!!!! The fabric for that chart is to die for. You really know how to pick fabric color to go with certain patterns. And I wonder who enabled you to get the camping out mill hill!!! Hmmmm!!!! I posted it on your facebook group remember? That one is going to be my summer piece to set out for summer. I’ll post my dog’s ornaments on your fb group. I love doing mill hills. Lololol beading the pickle!!!! My husband is going to get a kick out of that. Give shadow a hug from me! Happy stitching my friend!!!! Love ya
Loved your video! Shadow is so sweet! I have a shepherd named Gus! He’s 9 years old and my buddy! Good companion for me! Love your projects! I’d love to stitch a cookie jar for my kitchen tree! Merry Christmas!
Great video Becca! I enjoy your vlog style videos. Don't be so hard on yourself. Chin up and keep moving forward! You have lots of fans and we love you! 🎄❤️🪡
I'm so sorry about your surprise box; bless your heart! I do enjoy your vlog. Praying for your emotional downs! and you physically feel bad. Hopefully this too shall pass and soon!
Oh my goodness, I tried my best to resist the mill hill kits you are showing, but the stitchy heart had to go on my wish list at 123 Stitch! Plus 2 other stitching theme ones! There are just too many of the boxes available now. I didn' t buy any this year. I couldn' t buy any classes at the Jingle Ball either, but I had tons of fun! I need to start a Jingle Ball fund for next year. Love the vlog style video. Thanks for sharing. My family is dealing with 2 family members in hospice so very challenging, but everyone supporting each other and trying to make the holidays joyful for the little ones. Love your Satsuma Street project.
I’m so sorry about your family members being in hospice, I’m glad y’all are making the best of it. I understand about too many boxes, lesson learned, I definitely won’t be doing this again. lol And yay for adding to your wish list!! 💜
I like the daily vlog style. Keep it up. Just an FYI - my daughter works for the US Forest Service in the Grants Pass area of OR. They sell $5 permits to cut down a Douglas Fir. It helps thin the forest of too many Douglas Firs. Maybe one of the US Forests closer to you in WA, do a similar thing. And that would be a very inexpensive way to get a Christmas tree next year.
Becca you are a wonderful caring person. Your designs are amazing. I love the reveal video for box to. Thank you for sharing your life and stitching. I asked my mil l hill stitcher friend and she said the only mill hill kit list is from last year releases. it stopped there. Maybe 2024 will be a new list. Maybe message company. I cannot afford box right now with prices so high on food etc. and Christmas with lots of kids in the family. . I would have loved to purchase such a great box. Maybe in a few months but price is great for merchandise in it but hard to chew in one payment.
Why didn’t I think of emailing mill hill!? Thank you! 💜 I understand the financial strain all too well, when I purchase boxes from Bestitchme I have to use the PayPal pay in 4 payments option. Makes the large amount easier to swallow. lol 💜
Oh Becca please don’t be disappointed. Your designs are beautiful. I need to start the hope one I am so excited to get those stitched for my husband as to why they don’t sell. I can’t understand maybe the time of year that you put them out people might be struggling I know this time of year my spending cuts way back, your tree is beautiful. I’m loving the Vlog style also like I mentioned, but I wanted to know you are doing a great job. Embrace your family and friends and enjoy what you do.
Check out Vonna's flat fold tutorial...there's a little section in there on lacing that I found very helpful. Also, on the mill hills, if the paper is going to be stitched over, you could skip the paper and do them on fabric. Then you can use your qsnaps and stand.
Love going on your daily errands with you. Your daughter's cat is adorable, he really was intrigued by the angel. Poisionous plants turned out great, she's going to love it. Would like to stitch the cookie jar.
Love the new mill hills. Regarding the box it could just be the economy and time of year. With it being your first box, people might not want to gamble on something new right now. Plus there are so many new boxes coming out there are too many to choose from. I'm glad that you did a full reveal, that would help that. It might also help to reach out to other youtubers that might do a shout out for your box? I haven't watched Vonna's channel in a while, did she mention it on there? maybe some of her subscribers are looking for a way to connect more with her as well. I would continue to promote it for those who are waiting to use the money they get as holiday gifts. Good luck and I am glad that you are able to be there for your daughter's friend. I'm sure it means more to him than words can say.
Very true. I know the market is so flooded by new designers, flosstubers & creators, it’s a hard time for everyone trying to make a go at a small business and also for the consumers. I’ll have to figure out what to do about all the extra boxes I’ll have..🤔💜
@@SamBrieStitches I just saw a post on facebook on the Cross Stitch Unlimited group about your stitching box! The post had a pic of both options and was asking if anyone had done a mini online retreat. I commented and asked if the finishing was done by Vonna online. That way it may stir up some more interest 🤞
I started a dimension small for my jingle ball start. So fun. I actually like the plastic canvas it had. Cookie is adorable. Love the vlog style. I’ll need to try better in the new year mashing my videos like you do.
If it were me purchasing your box, I would have to consider it an extra expense close to Christmas. Don’t be downhearted. Have a sale after Christmas and recoup some of your money. Please don’t take it personal. I think it’s timing.

I think you’re right..having to pay for items ahead of time adds up and is very risky. I’ve learned my lesson. lol thank you for the kind words. 💜💜

I thought about using fabric, I may try that sometime. 💜
Great vlog video Becca. I like this format. Love your patterns and projects. Your decor is pretty this year. I love the cookie kit. 🎄💕🎅🏻🤶🏻
Thank you so much. 💜
Thank you so much for the shoutout! That was so nice of you. Really enjoyed the vlog style of your channel!
Of course! I enjoy your content. We’ll have to chat about doing an interview for my flosstuber series. 💜
