    Your theme music started and from the other room, my husband yelled, "It's Darcy!!" You're getting famous even amongst the non-stitching crowd now! 😆 I love the new fabric colors! The snowflake was perfect - made me laugh!

    There is a thing like sticky cardboard. It's mostly used for gaming posters, and it's even acid-free. I buy mine at a big DIY store that also has frames, and they will cut the cardboard to the right size.

    Hi Darcy! I must be living under a rock because I have not seen your floss tubes before this morning! There are always those people out there, they have nothing better to do with their lives so I’m happy you found a way around it. Lol I’ve been thinking about red fabric in the last month and didn’t want something just plain and you showed your fabric and I loved it! 😍 so I hopped over to your Etsy and fully expected you to live in the US and I wouldn’t be able to get it because of the $$ difference and duty etc. I couldn’t believe you were Canadian, what an awesome surprise! Woohoo! I clearly hadn’t watched past this episode so I didn’t know. I was excited to see you weren’t sold out and snatched it up! Lol 😂 I can’t wait to get it! I will be scoping out your Etsy shop often!

    Hi Darcy 💗 Love the yellow fabric! That’s next on my shopping list. I like the idea of slightly larger cuts. Ohhh…love the red!!! Instead of cardstock, you can use comic book backing boards. They are acid free! Thanks for the framing tutorial! ‘‘Twas awesome 💗

    Thank you so much for sharing how you frame Darcy! The measuring made absolute sense and is much better than the trial and error I usually do of just moving things round about 20 times!!
    I will definitely be taking tips from the professional framer stitch man

    I kind of frame like you just did. But I use two-sided tape. Your red material is just gorgeous.

    Red and yellow are fun colors. Life is just too short for boring fabric. On a wall is definitely better than in a drawer, and while sometimes people seem to think otherwise, the cross stitch police really aren’t going to come for any of us. Heh. Although now I’m picturing it, and that would be hilarious. They probably have the prettiest badges… stitched in silk. On beige. 😂

    Love it. I like to pretend I’m a professional framer with my driver gun and tape gun and I use core board (the foamy one) and pins. But really there’s a lot of eyeballing involved and I refuse to use a ruler for anything 😂 I tried lacing and really hated it. If it looks good and it works for you then it’s the perfect method. Never mind the chaotic back lol

    Thanks for showing a great way to get those finished pieces out of the drawer and up on a wall. Very good idea that will take a lot less effort and time than pins and lacing. What weight is your cardstock? It seems to be quite sturdy. Take care!

    • @StitchManDarcy
      @StitchManDarcy  13 днів тому +1

      I don't think it was cardstock exactly, maybe a bit of a sturdier step up. It was a big piece of something that I found at Michaels. That's a technical term - "a big piece of something" 😂

    • @suelandriault8137
      @suelandriault8137 13 днів тому

      Do you think the salespeople at Micheal's will know where to find "a big piece of something" in the store? 🤣

    I cannot believe that someone reported you on Etsy. That is terrible but you handled it professionally in my eyes. Love your Sunflower Cottage and the song too. Thank you for showing us on how to frame a cross-stitch piece. I would not lace mine so I love how you do yours and for my first small project I am going to try your way. You are very talented in what you do: Create, Cross Stitch, Dying Fabric & now Framing. All I can say is that you are awesome. Keep up the great work that you do. Happy Stitching.

    Darcy!
    Good to see you again. Listen, there are plenty of products on Etsy with the 'F' word. Who cares? I'm personally not a fan, so i just don't look at/buy those things. I did like your work-around.
    I've been collecting your fabrics - love the yellow. You should know that most dyers call them 'brights' and 'neutrals' (not 'boring').😅
    Thanks for the several Wonderful Life clips. I never got to watch it this past Christmas, even though it is the Ultimate Christmas Movie.
    Hugs to Miss Maple❤

    There’s always those who like to be offended 🙄 They would be disappointed if they didn’t find any reason to be I’m sure.

    I like you're expanding your color choices and fabric sizes. I wish you the very best this year!!

    Was it coming from the US? I find that Canadians swear like they breathe and Americans seem to be so horribly offended by swearing...

    • @StitchManDarcy
      @StitchManDarcy  13 днів тому

      I couldn't tell where it came from. Someone suggested it might have been Etsy's program randomly scanning for inappropriate stuff, but I don't think so because there was nothing inappropriate in the title or write-up. You would have had to look at the picture. Definitely an uptight American 🤣
