    I immediately added the TraLaLa pattern to my wish list. Love it! I stitch lots of winter designs.

    I didn’t know you had a flosstube! Thanks for the lovely mention. I’m also stitching that Black Sampler from Owl Forest but haven’t got very far. It’s bigger than I thought. Hazelxx

    Beautiful finish and frame on the Tra-la-la piece. I like winter scenes so much, and I think I'd have to keep it out all year long. You worked on a lot of projects this time. Great progress on them. I'm so glad to hear you talk about your Chatelaine. I have a 32 ct in my basket and almost bought it this week. Thank you. I'll switch it to a 25 or 28 ct. Whew! I wish you and yours a very nice Christmas season. ❤

    Your finish is absolutely beautiful Elaine. Love it! Lots of beautiful progress on your WIPs. Sorry to hear about your Chatelaine saga. What a nightmare. Love your replacement fabric. I’m looking forward to watching your progress on it when you get started again. I’m looking forward to our SAL. I might start with February and give myself half a chance at displaying them in 2025! Hope you had a lovely birthday. Take care my friend. Happy stitching 😊 x

    Nice to see you again! Love the finishes! It sure feels like winter here today. I've got a chatelaine I plan to start on my birthday in July. I'm going to check to see what count the fabric is before then in case I need to swap it for a different count. My big accomplishment this month and year was my first full coverage finish! I finished my 2024 Haed Sal last weekend. Looking forward to your wip parade!

    Sorry I missed your birthday Elaine, my mind has sadly been elsewhere. Two great fro's. It is good to see you stitching the spoons, my all time favourite of yours♥️. I think the word Chatalaine puts the fear of God in people especially when starting. Winter time is always a good excuse to stay indoors, wrapped up something warm and cozy😃(not that I go out much anyway lol). Take care, Happy Christmas to you and your family of in case I don't see you before. Hugs🤗

    Hi Elaine lovely to see you and your wips etc. what a performance with your Chatelaine. At least we know now to stitch on a lower count fabric should we do one, so thanks for that. I was immediately enabled and went straight across to Talking Dog and bought the Christmas Etchings ! I’m looking forward to seeing your WIP parade later in the year! 😊

    Lovely to see your smiley face Elaine. Your finishes are fab. Sorry to hear about the Chatelaine malarkey but it will be so lovely and you’ll soon forget the false start and you have that lovely fabric ready for another project. I stitch my Chatelaines on 32 count but only plain dyes so there’s no shrinkage and no problems with beads unless there are fully beaded panels in which case you just adjust a bit. That new fabric looks good and you will be off to a great start because you’ve already sussed jessicas. 😊. I’m really looking forward to your WIP parade. Have a lovely Christmas. xx

    I love that you’re keeping your winter cricket collection in a beach hut bag because you know that means cricket collection to you. I have spring chart but yet to get fabric or floss.
    My heart went out to you over your chatelaine saga. Especially on your birthday bet you felt like giving up altogether. Good on you for keeping with it. The colours are amazing and you just might have inspired me to give it a go. I just need to pluck up the courage. I think a chatelaine is the garden equivalent to double digging a large veg bed😅.
    Lovely to see your beautiful stitching again and I hope the girls were tucked up in bed nice and cozy that night. By girls I mean the chickens. Keep up the fabulous work and see you again soon❤.

      @@elliewelliestitcher I picked the Alpine seasons garden because we moved to British Columbia, Canada from the US and it reminded me of our new home. I was also waiting because I don't have a stand and was worried that trying to stitch this in hand would not be a good idea. What is your set up like and what do you recommend? I think I'll love it once I get going. :)

    You made my day, Elaine! I have a real love/hate relationship with my Chatelaine - and I’ve been at it over 2 years 😂 Jessica stitches are my nemesis, every time I get the hang of them I put the project down and have to re-learn it all again next time 🙈 Nightmare!! I’m sure you’ll fly once your new fabric arrives. I have been following your progress on the Winter deer project and it is lovely, so cute. Always look forward to your WIP parade. Thanks for another great video x

    Nice to see you and love your finishes, especially the framed winter chart, that chart is so cute and stitching looks great on that fabric and a good choice of frame. So glad you finally took the plunge and started your chatelaine and that you realised early on that the beads would not fit on the 32 count fabric, 🙈, at least you are well practiced now on the Jessica stitches for your restart! Looking forward to seeing your end of year WIP parade, but in the meantime wish you a very Merry Stitchy Christmas & Happy 2025 x❤

Is there no advice which st of fabric you should use for the chatelaines? One day I want to start a chatelaine too, but first I need more experience in stiching at all. Have a great time!

We’ve had 23 days of rain in November, so everything is kinda wet right now. We’ve had pretty good temp’s, anywhere from 8 degrees to 11 degrees. Untill we meet again, happy stitching 😊🪡🍁
