    Thanks for the shout-out! Can't wait to see your Come to the Garden - beautiful fabric choice! Green Pandemic - I think it will be gorgeous :)

    Happy 38th birthday!! I think all those new starts will make this next year around the ☀️ even better! Both flosses are beautiful, go for the green 😍

  • @aleciacope3503
    @aleciacope3503 9 місяців тому

    I vote for the green. It matches your sweater and your wall paint color. And given how intricate the design is, I think thread that reads closer to one color would compliment the design better. Happy Birthday! 🎂🎉🎈

    I loved seeing all your projects! Total swoon over the doll house - well done with your personalized colour work. I'm so happy you're doing the Gilmore Girls SAL and can't wait to see what you make. Happy Birthday! Such fun new starts to celebrate. I love the squirrel in Winter Wonderland 🐿 and the LIght of Winter border is gorgeous!

      Thanks so much, Kathy! Always great to see your name and your kind comments. I know it, all the woodland creatures on Winter Wonderland are so sweet! I'm looking forward to seeing the GG SAL design as well! :) Take care!

    I vote pink for Pandemic!!! But, that green is gorgeous and would look phenomenal on antique white 😍

    My vote is for the fairy dust for the pandemic sampler! Also wanted to add on my love for Taproot- I started following the editor Amanda Soule back in the late 2000's/early 2010's with her Soulemama homesteading and family blog. The magazine is absolutely beautiful! Also wanted to say I am in the middle of working on the same witchy stitcher pattern you worked on, I didn't quite get a finish by Halloween but hopefully next year!

    Cute Saltbox, Nice color choices as you go, Oh yeah, you can finish it this year, cool BBD, duplicate charts happen to us all, lol. OMG 8 B-day starts, whoa!!! You better put them on a planner. Tough choice, both are pretty ... The Pink is more variegated, so I'd go with that one. Happy Birthday!!🥳🎂🎈

    • @cross_stitch_cait1
      @cross_stitch_cait1  9 місяців тому

      Thank you so much! I'm excited to see both colors in person! And yes, I need to organize all of this week's starts, for sure! Happy Stitching!

  • @erinsmakes2933
    @erinsmakes2933 9 місяців тому

    You crack me up, even with as "little" as you claimed you stitched you still got a ton done! A full HRH block, that CUTE Witchy Pattern, a SaltBox etc. Lauren got me with Pandemic also, and I love both of your colors so it will really depend on your fabric choice I think. I LOVE that Evertote color and I have heard incredible things about Silks4U so I can't give an opinion lol

    • @cross_stitch_cait1
      @cross_stitch_cait1  9 місяців тому +1

      lol, I know, I probably need to give myself a break, huh? There's just so much to stitch and so little time. Do you have a color in mind yet for Pandemic? I'm so glad you're starting it too - it's such a gorgeous chart and I love scrolling on insta to see everyone's color and fabric choices! I have a feeling my color choice will be a gut decision once I get both color threads in my hands! Thanks for watching, friend! ❤️

  • @sallykunkel6183

    @lamcaree 9 місяців тому

    I love your dollhouse! Before watching your videos I had never seen that pattern! My vote is for Fairy Dust. I think it is gorgeous, plus I’m a pink girl (also in MN!). I don’t think you could go wrong with the green either. Happy Birthday to you!

    • @cross_stitch_cait1
      @cross_stitch_cait1  9 місяців тому

      Thank you so much for the birthday wishes and the input on the colors! I know, that pink soooo gorgeous. I think it's going to be a tough decision! I really need to see them both in person, I think. Happy stitching, neighbor!

    Hi Cait. Great to ”see” you again. Happy birthday! I love the solstice houses and the dollhouse so much! I have been looking for the dollhouse, but haven’t been able to find it yet. I would vote for the fairy dust for Pandemic. It seems to be more variegated and would look amazing.

    • @cross_stitch_cait1
      @cross_stitch_cait1  9 місяців тому

      Thanks so much for the birthday wishes and your vote on the Pandemic colors! 😊 I hope a Dollhouse chart pops up for you soon! Do you have an ebay alert set up? I also had good luck on the facebook stash unloading groups for another Brightneedle chart, so try that as well :) Happy stitching!

    Lovely video again with some wonderful projects. Happy Birthday for the month and can't wait to see your starts.
    I turned 40 last week and am doing 4 big starts (as I couldn't do 40 or none lol). I'm stretching mine out abit across the coming year as that was the only way I think I can manage.
    Really looking forward to your progress and I really can't choose between the threads for Pandemic (my two favourite colours).

    Didn't know there was a Gilmore Girls stitch out there, and I can't wait to see it. I love the pink/purplish color for your Pandemic stitch, but did notice that the green is the same color as your sweater and it's pretty too.

    • @cross_stitch_cait1

    I will start mine on Friday the 10th as good luck juju when I visit my GI surgeon.
    When I turned 42, I convinced Michelle Bendy to start 42 things with me. We started 60 because we are insane. LOL

    Hi Caitlin, I’m so happy you’re back. After you mentioned them on your last video, I’ve started the Houses on Peppermint Lane and am loving it. I was twitching on it while watching this video and look forward to seeing your progress too. Happy Birthday and Happy Stitching 😊

    Your birthday starts look fun. I'm doing obligation stitching in November to be ready for Christmas, hopefully. I'm always pushing it at the last minute and i would love to avoid that this year. I really loke the green for that piece, but i think the pink would be stunning for another monochromatic piece.

    • @cross_stitch_cait1
      @cross_stitch_cait1  9 місяців тому

      Thank you! I think you may be on to something...that pink might be a good option for a Modern Folk Embroidery piece that I've had my eye on. Good luck getting your Christmas stitching finished!

    You must be a coffee addict like myself ! Happy (almost) birthday!!!! That is a tough floss choice - silks 4 you are great; I just received my first Roxy floss this week. I'd think about where you want to hang Pandemic and decide which floss looks best in that spot.

    • @cross_stitch_cait1
      @cross_stitch_cait1  9 місяців тому

      Thank you so much! That's good advice!! The green will likely go more with my decor....but I have a feeling that it'll be a gut decision when I have both colors in my hands! And yes, coffee addict for sure, haha.There's not much I enjoy more than that first cup in the morning! ☕️❤️

    @connieenevold1745 9 місяців тому

    Tough choice for Pandemic! I think a variegate will add so much light and movement but the pink might be a little pale to carry it off? Love the green! Is there any way you could stitch with both? Maybe green for structural areas and pink inside as filler? You will know once you see them both size by side. Good luck!
