    Sarah, I truly enjoyed your video. You made me lol several times, starting with the green stiff fabric😊 I have no advice on paring down, as I have that issue myself. I have so many things kitted up, but want to complete some wips first. I love you children’s stockings- I made my son a needlepoint stocking back in the day. Still put it out each year and he is 40 years old. And again, we have several of the same projects going, as I also got some new ideas from you. Also, just want to tell you your FFO’s are inspiring. Enjoy your break❤

    Hi Sarah, I loved loved seeing all of your previous Christmas finishes, especially the stockings you made for your children, they're absolutely gorgeous. Your Wee Santa turned out so cute too. I'm so inspired to stitch some Christmas patterns after watching your lovely parade of wips, new starts, and kitted up projects. I very much enjoyed seeing your amazing array of beautiful projects. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this video together as it was so enjoyable. I hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving.

    I loved seeing all your Christmas WIPs and want to stitch. I love stitching for Christmas and my want to stitch always outweighs the speed of my needle. This fall I’m on medical leave from foot surgery so I have had an abundance of stitching time but still more projects then time. Unbelievable! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I look forward to your next video.

    Such a fun video Sarah, thx! I love a wip/ kit/ plan parade! I agree with you 💯…I don’t like to have too many projects kitted up because then I don’t remember that I own the floss/ fabric/ bag 🥴😬. I think all of us X Stitchers forget how LONG it takes to stitch most medium to large size pieces and we delude ourselves into thinking that we can wip out 20 projects every 6 weeks 🤣😮. Your Wee Santa turned out beautifully- thx for sharing the process. Have a great Thanksgiving and happy Stitching!

    @towmater1231 Рік тому

    Oh my Sarah! You have a lot of fantastic WIPS and kitted projects. Love your Wee Santa finish too! Well let’s see…I see your point in unkitting to use the floss that you’re just sitting on so we’re just gonna have to make some executive decisions here! Lol! Maybe just try and work on the WIPS and keep a couple of kitted projects? 🤔 or maybe keep the kitted projects that you specifically cut fabric for? Shucks! These are hard decisions! 😅 Good luck with whatever you decide!

    • @stitchyfriends

      The good thing is that I rarely cut fabric until I’m fully committed to a project, and sometimes not even until I’m finished.

    Thank you for taking the time and doing this Christmas special video for us. I love seeing your finishes and WIPs over and over. Wee Santa turned out great. I also plan on making the Shakespeare's Peddler pillow. I received the tiny buttons today from Shakespeare's Peddler and they are so darn cute! I also have been thinking about your situation on all your WIPs. Being a crazy cross stitcher and loving so many patterns, the solution is not easy. I guess you could not set up any more WIPs, but where is the fun in that! Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

    I currently have 7 wips, not bad, but I am ready for some new starts. If a project hangs around unfinished for too long, I lose interest. There is so much I want to start but am waiting. That will give me incentive to finish. I still buy, though. 😊 I would agree with unkitting and revisiting projects at a later date. Happy Thanksgiving!

It was so much fun seeing all of your Christmas projects. I am trying to focus on ornaments and have started some fun felt ones. Easy to stitch on while watching tv. How are your felt ornaments coming along? A friend gave me supplies for those a while back … I should pull that out. 😊

    Having just completed a really huge kit parade, a tiny WIP parade, and my 24 new starts in 2024, I get where you are coming from. I had found things I’d totally forgotten about, and some of the “kits” need small things like a skein of floss or the fabric. Maybe I should dekit some of the kits, it would save on space, lol. Awesome parade! Thanks for sharing, you and Jenn have a safe, Happy Thanksgiving!!

    I am so behind in my flosstube watching. I would work on winter charts. I like Winter Cometh and that piece could be displayed for a few months. Add in one of the previous new starts. I really like Peppermint Lane and Pumpkin Lane and never can decide which one to stitch first. I just got an idea, though. I could alternate stitching them.

    I think your idea of un-kitting some of your projects is a great idea. You've a great start on the reindeer games ornaments; maybe 2 more. I do love the owl. Then select maybe 5 of the bigger projects, even though you probably won't finish them this year. Do you stitch on Christmas projects throughout the year? So fun to see all your charts.
