    Love the Cricket Ghost Ship, the framing is perfect! I have that chart but have not started it yet! So yes we all should stitch what we want when we want it is a hobby not a job and one of the best benefits of this hobby is the stress relief it provides. I have only been watching flosstube for 6 months or so but am amazed that things like wipco boards exist. To each his own, live and let live!😉 I so enjoy ur FT and getting updates on the dog she sounds like a real character. I hope the stress level will lower soon, we can all hope. Cheers

      Hi Laura, thank you so much. I have to stick to plans etc in all other aspects of my life that it's kind of freeing to just do what I want with my stitching. I've kind of got over the guilt now, which sounds strange, why feel guilt over a hobby! the patterns don't have feelings, its not like a pet you forget to take out for a walk!!
      I did try Wipgo and did well for about 5 months but my life just took over (and I got the pupster) and then I just didn't want to stitch on the things that came up at that time. So I've decided I wont be doing it in 2023. But I will look with wonder at those who do and marvel at their discipline and progress!!
      Hope you and yours are all safe and well, happy stitching (and flosstube watching) xx

    Love your finish of Skeleton Crew! Your ink story reminded me of one of my dogs. I had just moved into a new house and was painting the basement a pretty blue. There was a loud noise outside and my scaredy dog came flying to find me and ran through the paint tray then freaked out even more and got blue paint on my carpet. I wasn’t able to get it all out,but the carpet was multiple shades of brown and it was hard to see

      Hiya!!! Thank you so much, I'm so happy with Skeleton Crew, it looks so good on the wall!
      Oh no, paint - my worse nightmare, my cat did it once but I was able to grab her before she did much damage and get it out of the carpet, but I can just imagine the damage a dog would do with paint.
      Hope you and yours are all safe and well, happy stitching xxx

    Hi Catherine, love seeing all your stitching. Your framed piece looks fantastic! I would definitely stitch that project all in black. I think it’ll really pop on that gorgeous fabric. Loved the stitchy kindness that you got. Isn’t it lovely when something appears at just that right moment. Sorry to hear about the ink fiasco. Take care. Happy stitching 😊

    As always, such beautiful projects! Our furry friends can sure make life interesting... I am so glad for the stitchy kindness you received. 😊 I have been watching people stitch up the Supernatural SAL - I started the Cryptid and love it, but fell off the wagon this year. Starting a new one seemed silly- but it looks so great! I am going to have to purchase the pattern and just anticipate a someday start. 😉 Much happiness to you through the holidays!

      OMG I am so excited about the second retreat next year, I thought I'd missed my chance.

    Another great video! I have a question about your finishing in a frame - Do you use the glass or do you frame them without it? I'm actually to the point where I need to start framing some finishes! I only have one video to go and I'll be all caught up with your videos! Sasha is becoming quite the video star! I think she likes all the celebrity... 😉🐈‍⬛🌟 I love Practically Perfect - it's just so beautifully frazzled looking, just like most of us every day! There's a chicken pattern that's got that same 'look' that I want to do to go with a watercolor I bought years ago! Can't wait to see your progress on the peacock!🤣

    Love your ffo, it looks great😀! Also the partial, because there was a lot of Stitching on that. I think you're right by stitching all of the project in the black😀. I'm glad the fabric arrived on the right day👍. I'm glad you have chosen what to use it for. Your reaction is payback indeed😁. You made me chuckle with the image of you chasing around after your dog with your threads lol🤪. What a horror to come home to with the ink paws, it's good to hear you got most of it gone with the help of the rug. Have a good stitchy fortnight/month. Take care of yourself 🤗

    Hi Cat, I’m so impressed with your counting capabilities on your November piece! I dare not count more than 10 stitches away from something already stitched when I’m working with linen or I end up miles out! 😮 I’m very envious!

    Hi Ho!😊Lovely to see you pop up in my feed and see what you've been up to. You consistently do an great job of framing. Pieces you present show up beautifully centred and really square . I'm impressed! My take on the Prairie Moon piece - the fabric is the showpiece, so monochromatic all the way. The red detracts from that. Perhaps drape it over another picture on the wall and look at it from a distance to see what you think, But hey, do what makes your heart happy.

      Hi CC, thank you so much. I have to say, when i first started lacing, i agonised over it, but with practice.... now even the big pieces don't phase me too much, and to be honest, their not exact, but they are good enough for me!!
      I've decided that I'm going to go mostly black, and just some of the motives I'm going to do in a darker red, I tried what you suggested and it does look good!! may be a while before it comes out again though.

    Hi Cat!
    Great too see you again, I think the black looks great on that fabric. I feel like the red gets a little lost against the fabric, but ultimately it's what you like about it that matters.
    Are they the uniball pens? I love those pens! I've always got some in the house.
    Whoever that lady is who bought your replacement fabric is an amazing person! I'm sure you're going to treasure that for many years to come. It sounds like you're having such a positive time of it lately. It's nice to see you smiling again and hearing your happy stories :)
    Stay safe, I hope everything carries on going well for you xxx

      Hi Kathryne, Thank you so much. I know, I can't believe how wonderfully generous it was to send the fabric. I can't wait to get stitching on it!.
      They are Pilot V5 pens - I have ALLLL the colours and god help anyone who takes one!! I'm very into my stationary (or should I say obsessed)!
      I've decided that Im going to do the majority of that pattern in back with just the starts in a deeper red.

    Hi Cat. Enjoyed your video. Our fur babies sure can cause some memorable moments. I think all black would be a great choice on that beautiful fabric. The red looks out of place. But then again I love everything you stitch so ultimately whatever you do will be fantastic. So go with your instincts.

    On your black house piece--might you go for a very deep red, if you stick with the red? Also, a little backstitching on the outside border of the house would sharpen it's definition against the fabric.

      @catv.stitches5109  Рік тому

    As always I love your videos and the life updates. I watch quite a bit of flosstube throughout the week and I am delighted to see that so many people stitch what you want when you want. It really helped me not to feel so bad because not only am I NOT a monogamous stitcher but I also stitch with no particular rhyme or reason. It literally is just whatever I am feeling at the moment. Looking forward to your next video!

      Hi Lynn, Those sales/ghosts just have sooooo many stitches in them, they are deceptive. I took me most of my time to do them, but once I had them done the rest was a bit easier. It didn't help that I did it on 28 count, but now it's finished I'm just so happy with it and I don't mind the size at all, the coverage turned out to be just right.

    So glad that you are doing a better. For the doggie prints on the carpet, have you tried white vinegar in a spray bottle? Vinegar seems to be magic at getting stains and smells out too. The only thing is your house will smell like a salad for a while. Lol
    I love your part one finish of sleepy hollow, and I sure can’t wait to see what you decide on for the next part.
    Your finish of the spooky ship by cricket collection, just so pretty.😍
    Whomever the viewer was to brighten up your day and send you that fabric, that was super sweet of that person.
    Oh, and for the black house with the red, I’d either deepen up the red to like a cranberry color or stay with all black. It’s looking amazing by the way, you’ve gotten far on it.
