    Hi Christine. Great video and I LOVED the Geese. I have just seen some flying above me whilst out walking my little dog and they bring tears to my eyes...I don't know why, perhaps because they're so beautiful.
    I look forward, very much, to your videos but if at any time you don't feel like making them....guess what...don't! We're super fortunate to have you so whenever you post is fine by us! ❤❤❤

    Wow - Black Moon Cat turned out really well! That's not a color palette I would gravitate toward for cross stitch, but now I want one too! The frame really complements the design; no need to look further. You could easily leave that one out year round. Hope you are enjoying December!

    Howdy friend, OMG! That goose is the bee’s knees! I’m sure you know my take on your struggle. If you got em, start em. Maybe you could choose a WIP a month and work on it until the 15th. Then decide if you want to start a new one for the second half of the month. Of course, knowing you, you will just want to keep working on whatever you pull out and not switch. Then you could be happy with that decision too. That’s kinda what I have been doing.

    Yay you're working on that beautiful owl! ❤ That Canada goose is a must get for me now that I know about it. I love those geese and walk by them pretty regularly and have even had the privilege of getting hissed at a few times when their young fluffies are near. So precious! I am trying to get a couple of my current projects done in order to start a Riolis kit called Other Worlds, a colorful solar system.

    Always inspiring . Might I suggest for your desire to start something new and it’s conflict with WIPS for 2024. I’ve noticed pretty consistently your a seasonal stitcher. Seems you just naturally gravitate to stitching in the season. So with that said scan back through your WIPS and the season that has the largest gap ….. make that your new start. Thus as you focus in 2024 on WIPS all your seasons are filled with beautiful things that are ready to pick up and go. 😊.

I always enjoy your updates as you know, and always look forward to whatever you put together , I watch them twice too 🤭 Ty for sharing, I’m starting the coffee shop kit in a few weeks and will stitch it over Christmas, currently stitching a few Mill Hill Christmas ornaments for my wee tree.

    Wow you are a very fast cross stitcher. I can not wait to see the Christmas one done but you have to do what you feel in the mood to do because I know if you can't get into it then it will be a struggle. I do the same thing. If I am not excited about it then it seems like a chore to me and not a fun craft to do. I want to do all my crafts too but I also have to finish what I already started so I have to hide them so it is out of sight out of mind. I hate back stitching but it does bring out the picture in the end. Your channel really wants me to get my counted cross stitch kits out and to work on them too. Love your channel and I love seeing your progress that you are making on yours projects. Love your channel.

      Thank you! It means a lot to hear that I inspire you to stitch! It's hard when a project becomes a slog. If I force myself to work on t when it gets like that, I usually lose my stitchy bug completely. Life is too short to work on projects we don't like!

Looking forward (or not - no pressure) to seeing your progress this month. I’ve prerecorded my 2024 planning video that will come out later this month. I may discuss some new starts for next year in that video, many of them my favourite Dimensions kits! 😆 Happy holidays and happy stitching!

    Oh also...since winter doesn’t officially start until around December 21, it is not a seasonal problem to continue working on fall projects. 😂 I have a seasonal stamped dimensions kit in which I'll try to put stitces in each time that season comes around, which is still fall currently. I'd like to get it done but I don't like crosstitching on pillowcase material too much. I recently mounted it on a larger scroll frame so we'll see if it motivates me more!

      I use Aleene's Tacky Glue. I just brush it in with a cheap paintbrush ( or my finger 🤣). Just be careful not to use too much or it will soak through to the front. Let it dry under a heavy book for 24-48 hours to keep it flat. I have an old video about this under my Flosstube Extra Playlist if you need a visual 👍
