    Thanks for sharing your stitching! I've got finish-itis as well and have had a great August so far!
    One stitch at a time....((hugs))

      Good morning! Thanks for the well wishes for our weekend. Cocoa loves flossing her teeth. I had just missed my husband brushing her teeth. She likes to chew on the tooth brush. LOL. Dena

    Dena you are such an inspiration to me. Every creator helps me refine my stitching style; you've helped me set goals when I am a natural born procrastinator! Happy Birthday JT, hope you have dreams coming true this year. Happy Stitching 🥰 Kelley

      Kelley, thank you so much for letting me know that my videos have added something to your stitching style. It is the same for me. I watch lots of Flosstube and learn things from others that I can then add to my stitching style. It is a wonderful thing when that happens. Thank you so much for the birthday wishes for JT. I will pass them along. Dena

    Hello Dena, happy birthday to JT and it was so sweet at the end when Cocoa gets very excited to see him arriving home. You did make me giggle when you said you thought about giving up prompts and acrostics ...for about five minutes! I think it is fun seeing what you decide fits and what you will work on and, as always, there is so much eye candy to enjoy seeing your different stitchy projects. Great progress on the Nativity btw. Happy stitching, Teresa 🎂🪡🧵🪥♥

      Teresa, thanks so much for the birthday wishes to JT. I will share them with him. I have been working on ABCingo which will be the activity in the Magazine Monthly Challenge group next month and have two versions. I think I will pick the one that uses a few of my WIPS multiple times to try and get finishes quicker for those rather than the one where I put 22 different WIPs on the month. That will be new and different for me. Dena

I think that you are the right decision to keep going as you are and if you feel like it then focus on something else. Happy Birthday to JT! I’m loving what I see so far on Old Glory. I’m definitely adding that one to my list. I’m also adding The 12 Days of Christas. Love seeing. Is being Cocoa! Happy Stitching!

      Linda, thanks so much for the encouragement on my BINGO with my small group of friends. It has been a challenge adding in a daily prompt with everything else I am doing, but I think I have gotten the hang of it. I was wise I think to make the prompts on the BINGO board match my choices for the acrostics so I can use those 100 stitches towards both activities. I don't think I would have made it otherwise. Happy Stitching! Dena

    Dena. I have the kringles pattern all kit up. Watching you work on yours has made me want to stitch it. Well to be honest I have had the kit for almost 2 years and have been afraid to start it. I am now going to start it tonight. I say have to say I much enjoy watching you on your videos. I always feel like I have a friend with me when I stitch. Thank you for the time you put into the videos.

    Hi Dena. Beautiful projects as always. The motifs in the Stitchers 12 Days are so very pretty. It is so funny that you mentioned your live Christmas tree at your church because I was just thinking that it soon would be time for you all to start practicing for that wonderful performance. Happy birthday to J. T. I wish safe travels for Tommy on his hike. Cocoa will be missing him. Take care.

      Karen, thanks so much for the encouragement regarding Autumn in the Village. I am not even half finished with my journey piece this year. I chose two blocks on Spring at Hawk Run Hollow and I will be doing good to finish one of them. I guess in baseball that would be batting 500 which is good, but for me that is a big miss. I have not been able to go to the Hawk Run Hollow stitching Saturdays because JT has been visiting us on weekends and I hate to leave him here when he drives up for a visit. But I think that may slow down a bit as his reason for coming here every weekend has been eliminated. (Bad roommate situation that. has now resolved). I don't get to the Guild meetings because they are on Sunday and I can't get through with church and lunch and get there in time. I would be arriving as everyone was getting ready to leave. But I do miss seeing everyone! Dena

    I like your plan to keep stitching prompts and just allow yourself to focus on finishing something on the side, like you did with Kringles. Throughout the video, I kept wondering if you would have finished some of those smaller ones - Old Glory or the July Word Play seem like good contenders for a “quick” finish. It’s a fun disease to have the finish bug, huh? 😁
