    Wooooot! I'm also turning 50 this year and am doing 50 new starts before I turn 50! I'm on board for all these wonderful plans! Let's get a Roxy Unicorn/Badger conversion on the books for all of us birthday biddies!!!

    Oh don’t throw your outs away Caroline! Get a clear plastic ornament from Michaels and put them in with the year written on it for a SoCal decoration. I have seen other flosstubers do this and it is such a great idea. Stratford Festival Theatre also does this with fabric scraps from costumes each season and sells them in their gift shop. So many lovely projects and inspiration again this video! Thanks to you and Kerri for all you do.

    LOVE YOU GALS But WHOOAH with the orts ;) I used to throw them out too but over a year ago I heard someone on Flosstube say to keep them and use them to stuff little pillows with them. I did just that last year and by golly, they stuff very nice! Better than sand, walnut shells or fluff. They are the best stuffers for little pillows.

    It is always great to see your videos. I am using your floss for the first time and I love the richness of the colors. I am using the Roxy Floss colors Espresso and Tuesday on Needle and Flax linen the chart is Owl Forest Black Vintage Sampler.

I don't tend to keep mine because when I look at mine, all I see is 3 or 4 wasted skeins of thread. I look forward to another year of being inspired and enabled by you both!

    That Peacock/Unicorn/Badger piece? Janice Spencer (Traditional Stitches) did it -- full coverage. And Caroline of The Curious Crafters is working on it (as I recall). (By the way, she did the 2023 Countdown and is now a BIG Roxy Floss fan.) Just FYI.

    I love the MFE Halsingland Blommor stitching your mother selected. I am working monogamously on the same pattern and am about halfway finished.. I am doing it on white with DMC 3765, a medium bright cornflower blue. Enjoy finishing yours. I am not sure I would do it again because there are so many other wonderful designs in my queue. Happy 2024 and much success in your stitching endeavors. Anne

    For the perforated paper, if you put the red felt behind it, you can use red floss and chip stitch around the edges to make a more polished looking edge.

    Your Holiday Countdown SAL is beautiful! I bought the card pack and I am stitching my in a monochromatic stitch. I did not peek, I planned on starting on Dec 1 and somewhere in between Thanksgiving and Dec 1 I injured my left arm with a tendinitis and possible rotator cuff issues. So after Dr visits and physical therapy, I have picked up my needle and floss and carefully stitch on the SAL about an hour a day. I am up to December 11, loving your videos and Jacob’s videos. I am committed to finish it, I’m loving it, just can’t do very much in a day. I’ll send a pic when I’m done!! Thank you both again, Happy New Year to all, and I just so happen to be coming to Stitch North, weekend 2!

It’s good to know there are charts et al for the Salentine - I was bummed out miss out on the box but I’m looking forward to stitching the chart. I’ve started the 2024 MFE SAL, and AKGIT 1833. I can’t wait to watch Caroline’s progress through 50 for 50! You’re a braver woman than I am, that’s for sure. I must confess however that the thing that got me most excited was Kerri’s idea about A Peacock, A Unicorn, A Badger!!!!! My husband bought me the chart for my birthday and I’ve been wondering about whether or not there might be a possibility for a Roxy conversion!!! If you decide to go ahead - Count me in for sure!!!! Happy Stitching Everyone!!!! 💜
