Hi Adelaide! Enjoyed this video very much. I was accepted into WIP Warriors for 2025. I have never participated in anything like it. Thanks for talking about their book. I will order one. Take care! 🪡😀
Thanks so much! WIP Warriors is lots of fun. I'm enjoying 'scattergories' and I participated in 'riff off' this month. I'm also in the Great Aussie Roadtrip WIP Warriors group and that has been really good for giving me milestones when I'm stitching the Christmas Calendar frame. The book is fantastic. I can't wait to start using it. Happy Stitching :)
Sorry to hear that your little ones have been poorly, but glad that they're on the mend. That pink fabric is absolutely beautiful. I love the penguin pattern... maybe next year for me 🤣
Thanks so much for your kind wishes. The pink fabric is a show stopper! Everyone who sees it goes wow :) The penguins are gorgeous! Another commenter floated a January start thought so that could be an idea. Happy Stitching :)
I love your projects and I can also say that I am stitching most of the same ones (Arctic Animals, Treasure Shelf, Cozy Cafe, and Halloween Quaker) 😂👯♀️. I’m very curious about the WIP Warriors and look forward to following your progress as you work on the challenges. That cross stitch diary looks super neat. Thank you so much for sharing!❤
That's awesome! They are beautiful projects and really lovely to stitch on. If you would like to do WIP Warriors then you'll have to be quick to join the group, because they are going to close for another year soon. The link is in the description of the video. The diary is much bigger than expected but great. I'm excited to use it! Happy Stitching :)
Beautiful stitching and fabrics! Fun plans! I just joined WIP warriors and ordered the journal. How fun to just find you too!! 😊waddleland would be cute on the pink sparkle too!
Thanks so much! That is a brilliant idea about Waddleland! I hope you enjoy WIP Warriors too. I've participated in scattergories and riff off so far and it has been lots of fun. And I can't wait to use the journal! Happy Stitching :)
Thanks so much! Every Season is a stunning pattern! Tiny Modernist uses such beautiful colours. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. Happy Stitching :)
The Cozy Cafe is gorgeous! I love Cheryl of Tiny Modernist as well and look forward to seeing her at the Jingle Ball! and see what her new patterns are. I hope you get into her class! I am almost finished one of her free patterns called Matryoshka Doll 💕 Your Arctic Animals look fabulous! I'm a bit behind and just starting into stitching the puffins. I'm loving it! Wait... no penguins in the Arctic?!?! I learned something new today! That new penguin pattern would be a great January start! Congrats on a full coverage page finish! I have that pattern and threads also, but have had a false start... couldn't do the 40 count over 1 and learned that I need a grid for full coverage. I have ordered some other fabric options and hope to start it when I build up the courage!
Thanks so much! I have booked into Cheryl's Gingerbread House class at the Jingle Ball so I'm very excited :) Her patterns are beautiful! I'll have to look at her free ones. I didn't realise she had any on her website. Wow I can't imagine doing 40ct over 1. That is incredible. I find a grid helps too. On my plain fabric one I actually drew a grid on it using one of my water-soluble quilting pens. I hope you give Treasure Hunt Bookshelf a try again some time it is beautiful and quite fun to stitch. Happy Stitching :)
I love the advent calendar, I might need to start it too 😊. And I’ve seen the Halloween Quacker around and it’s gorgeous as well. They are both on my someday list 😂
How exciting! You definitely should start the advent calendar too. I've pulled the floss colours and it's looking so vibrant! Maybe we could start Halloween Quaker together next year? It's nice to find someone else who hasn't stitched it yet. Happy Stitching :)
Hey I just joined Warriors too. Good luck with your beading. I love beading. I enjoy Mill Hill kits. I personally do my full coverage complete X because I love the coverage. They are big projects though so most importantly do it however you enjoy most. Love all your WIPs and plans! Makes it so much fun to watch your videos.
That's so exciting! How are you finding the challenges? I have started the beading...I don't love it yet but maybe that comes with a bit more practice :) Yes I'm liking the x for full coverages too. Happy Stitching :)
Your daughter is absolutely right, I would've screamed too if I saw that sparkly pink fabric 😭 lovely projects! For a fairy, I can really recommend the SodaStitch fairies. I'm currently stitching the Rose Fairy myself ☺
I'll tell her she has a kindred spirit! Thank you so much for the SodaStitch recommendation. They have some beautiful patterns! I really love the Mermaid Princess for my daughter. Rose Fairy is super cute too! Happy Stitching :)
I was so excited when I heard my name! Thank you 💜 I love your video (all of them really). You have such diverse projects. It’s so fun to see how you are stitching all of them & the progress that you make. Plans can always change, just saying 🤭😉
Congratulations on your scary win! I hope you enjoy the patterns :). You're right plans can change. Maybe I can wiggle some more in. Who knows where the time is coming from lol. Happy Stitching :)
When you were saying no penguins in the Artic Animals, I thought I wonder if she has seen the Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery's pattern Winter Waddleland. Funny. It's a fantastic pattern. I get snow here so it makes a perfect pattern for winter stitching.
Love the progress you have done on your projects. I do not like Tent Stitch for myself because to me it does not look finished and it is bumpy. I love the Blue Sky for the Christmas Calendar but that is my opinion. I did start the Christmas Calendar Frame and it is huge. The pink fabric is so beautiful. Happy Stitching.
The Blue sky is lovely and is what I'm learning towards at the moment. I'll have to pull the threads and do a floss toss to make the final decision. I need to start that frame! Good on you for being so organised early. The pink fabric is gorgeous and so glittery. More so than my other opal fabrics. Happy Stitching to you too :)
Hi I’m a new subscriber to your channel. Love the advent calendar you will be doing. I’m setting up the frame this month too for the Christmas Countdown advent by Prim Stitcher shoppe. Last week I posted my 1st floss tube, channel name Cloudy Nook Stitches. I look forward to stitching with you on floss tube, Laurie
Thanks so much! That's really exciting. I'll have to look for that advent. There are so many beautiful Christmas patterns it is hard to choose. Congratulations on your first flosstube! I love your Tiny Modernist Halloween Mouse pillow. I'll have to put that on my list for next year. Happy Stitching :)
Ooo lovely pink and mottled purple 💜 fabric 😊 Durene Jones has some wonderful charts on her Etsy shop, I reckon you and your daughter would find something on there
If you finish the glowing wip, you can do Waddleland in its place. I have wanted to do that Lila Studio Pattern for a while now. Also the Christmas one. I still need to sign up for the Jingle Ball.
That is a good idea...I keep getting distracted though, but I'll get there. Ooh the Christmas Quaker is really nice too. Lol there's so many patterns I want to stitch. A contender for next year. Jingle Ball is so much fun! I really recommend it. Happy Stitching :)
What about a Mirabilia on that beautiful pink fabric. There are so many to choose from! I signed up for the Arctic Animals SAL but immediately fell behind and not even done Clue #1. Really enjoy your vlogs. Thanks!
Mirabilia's are a great idea but I've only seen them as paper patterns. Do you know if they come in digital form? SAL are start-a-long's for a reason. You'll get back to it when you're ready...well that's what I tell myself but mine that aren't up to date lol. I do find Arctic Animals a really relaxing stitch which is nice. I'm so glad you enjoy my videos. Thanks for your lovely comment. Happy Stitching :)
Thanks so much! I still haven't got my pdf yet. My surname begins with W so usually I'm in the last batch lol. I'm thinking vintage country mocha but if it needs to be darker then I will tea coffee dye a piece. Happy Stitching :)
I like your thinking! Because the tent is with two strands and the full cross one, it would be really really thick though. But it is a thought. Sometimes if I have a light colour and I've done a stitch in the wrong place, I just go over it with the right colour and it does looks fine. Happy Stitching :)
I have tried tent stitch because of the speed but found I was not enjoying it and therefore not stitching on the piece so I am sticking to full cross from now on.
Yes you have to work out what works for you, don't you. I don't mind doing tent but I'm not a fan of the bumpiness. I do love how neat a full cross is. Thanks for sharing and happy stitching :)
I don’t like tent stitch. To me, the looks isn’t there. I feel that if I’m going to stitch something big, I would be very disappointed having spent all that time on it and not liking the finished result. The diagonals are thick one way and thin on the other way, my brain can’t deal with it. But I wish I could since I’m a very slow stitcher.
Yes the texture is quite different with tent to full cross. I'd love to see finished pieces of both so I could really judge how much you can tell when you look at it standing a normal distance from a picture. I guess I'll just have to keep stitching to find out. Sounds like you've discovered what you enjoy the most and that's the important thing. Happy Stitching :)

I love everything you are stitching. I too am working on Every Season.
Thanks so much! Every Season is a stunning pattern! Tiny Modernist uses such beautiful colours. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. Happy Stitching :)
The Cozy Cafe is gorgeous! I love Cheryl of Tiny Modernist as well and look forward to seeing her at the Jingle Ball! and see what her new patterns are.

I just came across your channel. I love all what your working on.. pretty pink fabric. Happy stitching
Thanks so much! I know that fabric is stunning! And so shiny! Happy Stitching to you too :)

@adelaidestitches I have signed up for Hayride and the Golfing thing. Seem like a lot of fun so far. Yeah I think beading takes practice to enjoy.
@@Jeremiahs_Mom how fun! I'm doing the golfing too and I'm really enjoying scattergories. Good luck :)
@adelaidestitches I just joined so was lost for a bit haha. I am looking forward to the new challenges.
@@Jeremiahs_Mom well you're sure to find them in WIP Warriors

I was undecided but I am doing the Christmas calendar as soon as it comes in the mail.
That's so exciting! I hope you enjoy stitching it! What fabric are you going to use? Happy Stitching :)
When you were saying no penguins in the Artic Animals, I thought I wonder if she has seen the Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery's pattern Winter Waddleland. Funny. It's a fantastic pattern. I get snow here so it makes a perfect pattern for winter stitching.
Lol Winter Wonderland is a fantastic pattern. That sounds like the perfect setting for some cosy stitching. Enjoy :)

I loved your video and you convinced me to join in one the tiny modernist gingerbread house. What fabric will you be using for it?
Thanks so much! I still haven't got my pdf yet. My surname begins with W so usually I'm in the last batch lol. I'm thinking vintage country mocha but if it needs to be darker then I will tea coffee dye a piece. Happy Stitching :)
❤❤❤
Thanks and happy stitching :)
Is it totally insane to start doing full cross on the tent stitch one and then go back and cross those stitches later?
I like your thinking! Because the tent is with two strands and the full cross one, it would be really really thick though. But it is a thought. Sometimes if I have a light colour and I've done a stitch in the wrong place, I just go over it with the right colour and it does looks fine. Happy Stitching :)
