November 2024 | Cross Stitch, Crochet, Knitting, Quilting | Chatting about November crafting fun.

Welcome to November 2024's update vlog where I talk about my love of cross stitch, designing patterns and charts, and chatter about crochet, knitting, quilting and other crafts that interest me.

For December 2024 i'll be posting a daily Vlogmas / Flossmas video in the Shorts section of my channel. I'd love it if you'd give them a watch and a Thumbs Up to help my channel grow. Karen x

Hi Karen, so lovely to see you again. Your shawl is beautiful and the colour really suits you. Love your blanket. Lovely to see what you’ve been stitching too. Happy crafting x

[@ThistleheartCreations]

Thank you so much Sally. How are you doing? Yes I’m really pleased with the shawl and the colour really gives me a lift which I’m feeling I need at the moment …. feeling a bit flat the past few days thanks to menopause and my recent cold. I’m tempted to knit another one.

I've so loved spending time with you as I sort laundry and then stitch! 💕 I'm so glad you returned to flosstube. Love your shawl, it really suits you. Can't wait to see you again in January ❤❤❤

[@ThistleheartCreations]

Thanks Charly, I’m looking forward to seeing you in January too…it’s not long to go when we think of it. So glad I could make laundry a bit more entertaining for you 😊. I’ve your encouragement and support to thank for being back on Flosstube again. I’ve been loving seeing all your needleminders on Instagram…you’re so talented Charly. What are your stitchy plans for December? Big hugs, Karen x

Hi Karen, lovely to catch up with what you’ve been up to. Your fairytale lady is looking wonderful. The shawl is beautiful, I love the colour and wow 😮 the blanket is amazing! I hope you are feeling a bit better 🤞. I have started with the dreaded lurgey this week too so I fully sympathise with feeling grotty. Take care Karen and enjoy your December crafting. Emily x

[@ThistleheartCreations]

Hi Emily, how are you feeling? I hope the lurgy you started with when you left your comment wasn’t too bad. Karen x

[@stitchinbeeee]

Hi Karen! Really lovely video. Enjoyed seeing all your crafting projects. That crocheted gingerbread blanket is incredible. I love your Christmas mouse pattern too and can't wait to buy it!
I'm currently stitching Christmas gifts and finishing small cross stitch pieces into snowglobes 😊
Look forward to your next video! Happy stitching x

[@ThistleheartCreations]

Aah I’m so glad you enjoyed hanging out with me. I’m so happy with how the gingerbread blanket turned out…there were a few techniques that I’d not done before so that was fun having a different challenge. I’m tempted to make another one but think I’ll wait a while to let my hand have a rest from all the frantic crocheting to get it finished on time for Christmas 🤣. I’m fascinated by you making snow globes with your stitches, I’m sure they will be treasured. So far I’m managing to resist publishing Merry Mousemas until the 1st but I suspect I may release it tomorrow because resistance is wearing down so watch this space . I’ll be stitching and watching your latest episode tomorrow. Have a super weekend, Karen x
