I absolutely love love love the Christmas rules stitch and finish that you completed! Wish I could find that same stand at HL but I haven’t seen it. I’m also addicted to Brenda Gervais, I have several of the same patterns and they are on my 12 x 12 list. Just going to go with it and cross stitch whatever season I want to, no rules, right? I actually re-broke my arm about a week ago so my stitching is limited but I’m determined to try to join in on NYE’s 12x12. Goals, hmmmm - have tons of fun stitching and begin quilting! 1, 2, 3. Hope you had a fabulous Christmas - so excited for NYE. Hugs!
Merry Christmas! I just found your channel and am super excited to hear you are in Wichita. I am from that area but now live in Lawrence. I look forward to visiting the shop you mentioned next time I am in town. I would love to win 2,3.
1,2,3, your FFO was fabulous. I just bought that one. No Christmas Day start, I’m hosting dinner, no time to stitch. I don’t plan my stitching, I just stitch what I feel like stitching.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! I think Christmas is just hard, no matter your level of cheer. My only real stitching goal for 2023 is to finish more and start less -- I have chronic start-itis lol! 1 3
If you do the Big City SAL … PLEASE let me know! I would LOVE to do those cute ‘lil buildings! Can’t wait to hear about your 2023 goals … I’m sure that it’ll influence some of us (in a good way)! Merry Christmas Nichol!
I did not have time to start a project but I plan on doing the 12x12. I'm so excited about your planner info. Your makeup is always so pretty! I would love to see how you do your eyes. Merry Christmas. 2 3
Hi Nichol, Terri Whisler here. Your Christmas Rules finish is awesome. As for my 2023 plans, I am going to put a freeze on my pattern purchases and catch up on the patterns I have. I also enjoy stitching Brenda Gervais patterns, they’re wonderful. Thanks for spending your time with us, you are an inspiration to all of us!❤ Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄
Lovely video Nichol. I understand being grumpy. I was out of town for Thanksgiving and came home with covid. I wasn't very ill but was exhausted feeling for an entire week with zero shopping accomplished. Then there has been this thing with a sibling and our mother's estate,getting him out and the condition in which he left, it just totally zapped my Christmas spirit at times. But,I recovered from it all with my sweet husband's help shopping together,he even took off from work. Then there was the joy of my three grown sons shopping together and hanging out at our house,going to Mass and their great Christmas spirit made it a very good heart-warming Christmas weekend. You have great plans for 12 x 12. I hope to participate as well. As far as my plans for stitching 2023-I don't intend to plan.😂🥳 I will work on wips as they call to me and start a new piece if I am inclined to do so. If that doesn't work, I will do differently next year. 😂😂 I LOVE your Christmas Rules stitch and finish!!!❤ Thanks for the flosstube!! Sorry I wrote a letter! 1,3.
Hi, Nichol: You are going to LOVE stitching Give Greatly. I did it on 18 count one over one and I was so excited and pleased when I finished it. I haven't decided how to finish it yet but will most likely frame it because the sentiment is priceless and I love words to express myself and the value I place on others in my life or those who pass through. I struggle terribly with this time of year but have two grandsons who remind me of the magic of the holiday; they keep me on track. Take good care of yourself and enjoy the days as they come along. I wish you a terrific Happy New Year!
I am glad you went to the stitch store. We had one for over 30 years and just she retired and sold the business. New owners moved the business to MN. So we no longer have a local one. This has been hard for me but thanks to your flosstube I found Fat Quarter Shop. My plans are two at least two finishes a month. Thanks again Nichol. 3
Your Christmas Rules finish is AMAZING! So very clever. I can see why you wouldn't do the back of it. But I was thinking about how you could use that cute chalkboard for more than just Christmas... was thinking valentine's pattern and patriotic/flags could go for memorial day, July 4th and veterans day. Not that you asked, lol, just that it came to mind when you were showing it. As for 2023, my goal is to take patterns all the way to FFOs. I've got 2 that need framing and 2 more that are taking too long to stitch and all I had thought would be Christmas presents this year! Ha, what a crazy woman I am! Would love 3 please. Thanks for sharing!
My plans for 2023 is get more organized and do things for me which is stitching time. I have my new Stitchy floss tube family that I watch and get so inspired and now it’s time for me to get stitching. Love love the chicken needle minder. January month to month is on my wishlist. The FQS kit is exciting. 1 2 3 Thank you Nichol ❤
Thank you for all your flosstube and card making videos. I really enjoy seeing all the beautiful things you create! Your home is so beautifully decorated for Christmas! I don't make resolutions but I have come up with a word for 2023 and that is Intentional. I bought last year the Heart box from the Happy Planner with no idea on what I wanted to do with it. I am using it to write and keep track of all the stitching and sewing projects that I am wanting to do this year. I always do so much for others but this year I am doing things just for me that I am excited and passionate about. Thanks for all your inspiration and look forward to seeing in 2023 what you create. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours!♥
I loved your video! Very well put together and even with all the projects, I didn’t feel like it was all over the place! I’m teaching myself again after coming back to it from when I was a child and I’m about to be 50. Plans for the New Year: I think I will do 12x12 for New Years Eve so I can get ready this week! Thank you for a beautiful video! Love your fabric behind you!! You gained a new viewer today!❤ happy New Year! 3 please!
I finished the mittens and the trees and now am working on a new quilt before I get back to needles and a 2023 stitching project. Thank you for the inspiration! 1 2 3
1, 2, 3 Merry Christmas Nichol - I so appreciate all you do and love watching your cardmaking videos as well as all the Flosstubes! My plan to start 2023, is to make placemats for my dining room table out of the fabrics I have been hoarding forever. I think to myself, "what are you saving this fabric for anyway??" So, that's one plan and then I'd like to get back to several cross stitch projects that are started! Of course, I keep making cards too so I do stay busy! Happy New Year too!! xoxo
Merry Christmas 🎄. I cannot believe how fast time flew from thanksgiving to Christmas - I was scrambling 😅 I’m so excited to stitch along with the 12 by 12, work on my new stitchy planner with you and continue working on WIPS in 2023. I joined the chicken club so 1 please 😂. I have the other two already. Wishing you good cheer and Christmas blessings. I made so many of your paper craft tags and gift card holders this year and they are a big hit. I sent some to The Housewives and they were so appreciative- I felt like I needed to give you creative credit ❤. Thanks for your inspiration- you have brought me such joy. By the way, your house is gorgeous ❤❤❤🕊️
2, 3. Merry Christmas Nichol! Plans for the new year include actually having a plan! After many years of paper crafting, I’ve only recently gotten back into stitching (thanks to stitching dies and you!!) and I find myself needing more hours in the day to make all of the things. I recently dug out some of my old stitch patterns and kits, some 20+ yrs old. 😮 Love the ideas of witchy Weds and Santa Sunday. Sounds like planning might become another thing I need to do!! Thanks for being so inspiring. All the best in the new year. 🎉 ~ Michele
1, 2, 3 I'm such a monogamous stitcher, and seasonal stitcher, it breaks my brain to think about having so many starts all at one time! My plan for 2023 is to stitch a little or a lot every day and to get better at fully finishing my finished cross stitch pieces. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Nichol!! ❤️💚 I love seeing all of your fabric in the background!! So pretty!! 🤍 LOVE your planning channel!!! 💓 Bless you, dear! 🙏 Oh! Your home decor is soooo cuuuute!!! I have cherished teddies and precious moments too!! We are so much alike, with what we like!! 🤍❤️🤍❤️
I'd love to finish one chart per month in 2023! Wishing you all the best in the new year Nichol. Thanks for continuing to provide great crafty content. 3
Thank you for all you do throughout the year to inspire me to cross-stitch and quilt! I am enjoying your planning videos and am in the process of setting up my Happy Planner for 2023. Next year I plan to cross stitch 1 ornament per month, plan a new start each month, work on 3 whimsical Xmas stocking for my grandchildren, and finish my UFO’s. 1,2,3
You are funny about dog barking. It’s better than the thoughts I have had about my neighbor that has 4 barking dogs all day all year. Thank you for your content. 1 2 3
I did do a Christmas start this year. My birthday is two weeks after Christmas so I plan on doing another start that day. And then my younger sister, who we lost earlier this year, has a birthday in February. So I have picked out a start for her birthday too. Then I plan to work on all my whips. thank you again for spending time with us and showing us your beautiful works of art. 2. 3.
My plans for 2023 include doing more cross stitch! I got two fall projects stitched (not completely finished up - but stitched!) and I have a few more kitted and ready to go. I totally went to Etsy and looked up Brenda Gervais and I have those adorable snowmen in my cart. :o) Thanks for sharing and being honest and real. I appreciate you. Your giveaways are always lovely - 1 and 2.
The holidays are always a hard time for me. This is the third Christmas without my husband who passed away in 2020. I was lucky to have my daughter here for the whole week and she’s expecting a baby inJune. poor thing was so nauseous, She was in bed most of the time, but just have her here at the house really made a difference for me. Looking forward to doing the New Year’s Eve 12 x 12. I’ve got to go out and get needles to get my projects all kitted up. I’ll probably do six new starts and six wips. I hope you have a happy new year.
I love your finish! I will not be doing the 12 x 12 for New Years but it sounds like fun. I did complete 3 fully finishes on Christmas stitching today. We were supposed to be in NC to visit my son and daughter in law for Christmas but because of the weather and a furnace that decided to act up in below 0 temperatures, we had to cancel. I thought I would have lots of car stitching time to. We may just go next weekend. My plan for next year so far is to get as many WIPS done as possible ( I counted 2 earlier today) and to fully finish about 10 projects that are waiting for me. Most are smalls. I hope to finish This is the Day (it is about half way done) and to buy and finish Winter Rose Manor. Merry Christmas Nichol! 1 2 3
Ok whoa! The lego display!! That was awesome and my son would have loved his legos displayed that way when he was in HS. It is so hard, I just want to stitch all the things. So many things kitted up, but I am kind of a monogamous stitcher. I really want to finish my CCN Snow Village and I want to start Little House Needleworks Jack Frost's Tree Farm. But oh there are so many more on the list. Thanks for your awesome channel filled with inspiration and energy. I love it. 3 please.
I am planning to do the 12x12 but like you I am mixing it up with 6 new starts and 6 WIPS. I have also started my planner doing Flags on the 4th. valentines on the 14th. Christmas on the 25th and Halloween on the 31st. During certain months gets extra emphases on certain holiday stitching. I also want to start my own Flosstube. I have been stitching again for a year now and would really like a floss tube to keep me on track. Maybe a Biweekly for now. I also do other crafts such as sewing, paper and crochet and knit. So trying to plan all these projects certainly calls for planning. Thank you for showing us your plans. 1 3
Hearts Desire is a great shop! I spent the day at the shop this summer with a larger group of friends and had a blast. I left a few pieces to be framed and they turned out nice! Debbie does a great job with framing! Your finish turned out so pretty! Merry Christmas!
Love your stitching finish Nichol! You always do a great job and so fun to see. I am going to attempt 6 new starts and 6 new WIPs for new years. I love #3 please. I have been thinking of joining the stitch quarterly group, as I have loved those patterns. Thanks for all of your inspiration!!
I’m going to do the 6 & 6 approach for New Year’s Eve. When my brother and sister in law invited everyone over to play Bingo on NYE, I was like…what? GO somewhere?!?! Interact with other people?!?! After not stitching much these last couple weeks, I just want to sit & stitch…especially since my husband got me a Halo Go for Christmas! 1 2 3
Beautiful Holiday decorations! Your home looks like a spread from Better Homes and Gardens! My 2023 plans are to finish all of my WIPS, starting on New Years. Thanks for all of your inspiration. 3
I hope you had a beautiful Christmas, Nichol. I loved your Christmas Rules, it's beautiful! I haven't stitched in almost a week, I've been trying to get over COVID. I think I might be able to stitch a little tomorrow, I'm finally feeling better and more myself. The holidays really do play with our emotions, hang in there, and it's okay to feel a little off sometimes. 1
Merry Christmas to you and enjoy your stitching 🎉🪡🧵 My goal for 2023 is to better manage my time in the new year. Set time for quilting, cross stitching and “cleaning”. Being a senior I get overwhelmed so need goals to relax more. I want to do the NYE 12 x 12 by doing 6 new starts and 6 WIP’s. Kitting up my patterns and making a list of floss needed, probably 3 trips to Hobby Lobby but still have time. Thank you for the encouragement and look forward to your next video 🥰🪡🙏☃️❄️
Merry Christmas Nicole! You inspired me to purchase my first cross-stitch kit. Thank you for ALL you do! I even ordered the magnifying glasses with might so I can stitch again after 26 years. I love all your floss-tubes video and your finish is gorgeous!! Hope your enjoying your family this holiday season and God bless you! I would love to win 1,2 or 3…hugs❤ -christine R
So much in this video to comment on...beautiful finish for Christmas Rules, that basket is SO cute - notice it's rainbow! Your decorating if just gorgeous. Decorating is a talent I wish I had, but don't. I'm still undecided about the New Year's 12 x 12. That's a lot of sitting. I would have to get up and walk around for the last 5-10 minutes of each hour! If I decide to do this, I will have to do some pretty small projects. Otherwise I fear I won't finish them. I will be stitching at least some of the day if I don't. In fact, I'll be stitching some every day until Jan 3! Then I go back to fitting it in when I can (bummer). I hope your Christmas was merry! 3
2 3 - I hope you and your family had a very Merry Christmas! I have no plans at the moment for a specific stitch in the new year, but I will be stitching. We are just getting through some very trying times right now. But, God is good all the time. I'm very blessed to have the privilege to follow you and your channel.
I fly by the seat of my pants usually, but will plan for 2023 to finish more WIPS! Hahaha enjoy your Christmas! Remember not everything has to be done perfect it’s the memories that count and they never show imperfections! 1 2 3 😊❤️
Love all your purchases - so nice to have a local shop. My plans for 2023 is to use my happy planner to record my finishes, complete a project each month and to gift more of my finishes. Happy New Year. 1,2 and 3.
Love Love you Christmas Rules short finish. I’ve had that stand for a while and now I know what I can use it for. Stitch this again short version and make christmas present for next year ❄️🎄☃️
Hello Nichol, Plans are busy! I really need to reorganize the studio a bit. It's a Giant mess. More YT on both FT and card making. This year, I want to work on small items and ornipatterns. To prep at least 2 wool projects, 2 cross stitch pattrerns. Our children hosted dinner, so I don't have that mess. I uploaded my first flosstube piece . Thank you. I mentioned you in my very first flosstubem. 1, 2, 3. Tfs. Pea
What a sweet treat to sit and watch your video after the gang left and I'm too whooped to do much of anything!! My stitching plans for 2023 are to create as many ornaments as I can for a stitched tree next year, and to complete a few big projects. Would also like to organize my floss and fabrics. Would love to see how you store your floss. 2, 3
Merry Christmas! I hope you enjoyed your time with family and friends. I am planning on finishing a Birthday pillow, that has stitching on it, for my grandbaby who turns three on Jan 7th. I am also starting a cross stitch baby quilt that I hope doesn't take as long as the last one I did to finish. 2
1 2 3 I just want to finish my WIPS! I am Expecting my 4th granddaughter in march so the first thing I will be making is a baby quilt! Merry Christmas Nicole!
I did a Christmas start and finish of small from Just Another Button Company. Going the easy route for 12by12 and starting each month for Hands On Designs “Well Hello There” series. Love the Christmas Rules finish! 1 3
Haven't stitched in a while -- time to get out the supplies. 2 3 -- thank you for a great 2022 of inspiration and looking forward to a new season and new year.
My plans this week and through the new year holiday are to complete a few finishes and to start a new project. I tend to be a monogamous stitcher. I love your latest finish. That spinning chalkboard is too cute! Thank you and I hope you had a great Christmas! 1,2,3
I completely relate to you saying you had a bit of a hard time getting into the mood for Christmas. I'm a new stitcher and am very excited to do the 12 x 12 on New Years. It sounds like fun. For 2023 I plan on stitching as much as possible but I seem to be guilty of getting finishes done but don't fully finish them at that time. They are piling up. 1,2,3
2,3 Merry Christmas! I hope it was a nice relaxing day with your babies. The house decor is beautiful❤🎄I wish I could fully decorate, my toddler makes it that I can only decorate the Kitchen counters and half a tree😂😂😂
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas Nichol! My plans for 2023 are to be more scheduled with stitching so I am no lazy haha. I would be interested in 1,2,3. Thank you for all you do!
Merry Christmas Nicole! You are beautiful inside and out; hope you had a peace filled holiday. I had a come to Jesus moment as well 😁 I call it staying in touch. Anyhoo, love your finish on Christmas Rules, that turned out gorgeous! Plans for New Year Day, welp🤔, since I have a squirrel mind, no telling what I will pick up, put down, pick something else, put it down...so on and so forth 🤣🤣🤣 3
Merry Christmas! 1. 3. I'm planning on the 12x12. Depends on grandkids. I've got a planner want to start using it. Such great projects are out there. Want to do them all! Lol great job with your floss tube. Enjoy it very much
I am starting Welcome Winter by Primrose Cottage and really focusing on that one in particular. I am working not to overwhelm myself but just keep on stitching on all the new patterns I have ordered until I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I so love Cup Of Christmas Cheer as it is too cute! I enjoyed the video. Thank you! 3
I am planning to do the 12x12 on NYE but most will be WIPs and for New Years I want to start my “Give Greatly” too! As for my 2023 plans just as much stitching as possible. I love the idea for 4th of July stitching on the 4th! For giveaways I’d love either 1, 2, 3
Hi Nichol. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. I have several winter charts to start. I love snowmen so they all have snowmen. Several are ones that you showed today. My first will be Snowplace like home from Primrose Cottage sip n stitch. I was lucky enough to buy a kit before they sold out. I won’t be able to start though until January 2nd though. The holidays are to crazy here, plus my husband birthday is January 1st. So there is lots of celebrating at this time of year. I had to put my cross stitch aside for the last 2 weeks & thru January 1st & I am so ready to get back to it. Again I hope you have a great New Year. 1 3
Merry Christmas. I hope you had a great day with your family. I loved all your Christmas decorations they are beautiful. I loved that you got a clip of you sons Star Wars legos. My husband has I think 3 cabinets with all of his Star War legos. Have a great week.
2,3. I wish you and your family a safe,healthy and happy new year. Thank you for all the inspiration and encouragement. I hope to do Christmas ornaments for my nieces and nephews for next year. Have not decided whether to crosstitch them as I liked your felt ornaments. Still have to work on Santa crosstitch, hope to start this week. I do not plan on doing the 12by12 this year but hope to do some stitching. Take care and looking forward to seeing your 12 by12 progress.
1, 3. Happy Holidays and Happy early New Year!! I won't be stitching 12 x 12 but my "loose" plans are to start something new each month but devote the remainder of my time to my many, many WIP's. I am also going to go through my WIP's and deconstruct any that I don't absolutely love any more and/or use the stitching for project bags, etc.. You are truly inspirational - thank you for making such wonderful videos!
Bless you, Nichol. Thank you for your kind thoughts. Your Christmas Rules looks fantastic!! I love it. 123Stitch has the Black Jobelan in stock. I'm not sure if you buy from them. Plans for 2023... I plan to work less and stitch more! I've been watching your planning channel. I bought a Happy Planner and TOO MANY stickers. :-) 2 3
Merry Christmas Friend! Lori told me she was a stitcher now. 😆 My plans for 2023 are to work on some small projects each month. I have Hands On Design a year of celebration Season 1 with Season 2 on its way as well and I also want to do Little House Needleworks Little Sheep Virtues since there are also 12 those. I'm struggling with fabric, I want to give Lugana a try again since these are small but some days it seems okay and then the other day I picked a bunch out because I got one thread off. 🤦🏻♀
Happy holidays and I feel you with the holiday hustle. Christmas completely creeped up on me and didn’t really feel like Christmas. My littles were ready though…lol. My goals for 2023 is to get back to some wips but fully finish some project… I’m the worst. 3
3 I plan to finish a large sampler, continue 12 days of Christmas ornaments (currently working on 8), and finish a cool photography themed project for my son. Really ambitious!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! Your project turned out beautiful. Your Christmas decor is gorgeous!!! Your home is such a welcoming place. Enjoy the holidays with your family. Take care of yourself!!!
I think I’ll do the 12 x 12. I have a number of items I kitted and didn’t start because of the holidays. I have WIPS too including our SAL🤦🏻♀️ so this will be fun! I will start at 9am because there is no way I can make it to midnight. My plans for 2023 are to be more organized in both stitching and card making. I bought planners for both. Happy New Year, Nichol. 🥳
Planning to tackle smaller projects so something gets finished. And scheduling nin the time until it becomes more front of mind. I find I can get overhwhelmed. . .
I'm very disappointed in myself that I just now found your videos! I now must go through and catch up on all of them! I'm perhaps the slowest stitcher ever (doesn't help that I get distracted easy) so I have several projects to work on. I did, however, buy myself one pattern that I am going to work on for New Year's. 2 and 3 are my favorites.
I always plan to stitch twelve Christmas ornaments in the year. This year I stitched 3 and have two Prairie Schooler Santas I might be able to finish before the end of the year. I'm thinking of doing the 12x12 and starting all Christmas ornaments since the starting and counting take so long but maybe this will help me achieve my goal this year. As always lovely chat and many thanks for the inspiration and motivation to keep on stitching.
I absolutely love love love the Christmas rules stitch and finish that you completed! Wish I could find that same stand at HL but I haven’t seen it. I’m also addicted to Brenda Gervais, I have several of the same patterns and they are on my 12 x 12 list. Just going to go with it and cross stitch whatever season I want to, no rules, right? I actually re-broke my arm about a week ago so my stitching is limited but I’m determined to try to join in on NYE’s 12x12. Goals, hmmmm - have tons of fun stitching and begin quilting! 1, 2, 3. Hope you had a fabulous Christmas - so excited for NYE. Hugs!
I’m hoping to finish several projects I’ve been too preoccupied with other Christmas projects to do. 1 2 3
Merry Christmas! I just found your channel and am super excited to hear you are in Wichita. I am from that area but now live in Lawrence. I look forward to visiting the shop you mentioned next time I am in town. I would love to win 2,3.
1,2,3, your FFO was fabulous. I just bought that one. No Christmas Day start, I’m hosting dinner, no time to stitch. I don’t plan my stitching, I just stitch what I feel like stitching.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! I think Christmas is just hard, no matter your level of cheer. My only real stitching goal for 2023 is to finish more and start less -- I have chronic start-itis lol! 1 3
If you do the Big City SAL … PLEASE let me know! I would LOVE to do those cute ‘lil buildings! Can’t wait to hear about your 2023 goals … I’m sure that it’ll influence some of us (in a good way)! Merry Christmas Nichol!
Happy New Year! Always so much inspiration in your videos. 3
I did not have time to start a project but I plan on doing the 12x12. I'm so excited about your planner info. Your makeup is always so pretty! I would love to see how you do your eyes. Merry Christmas. 2 3

What beautiful decorations you have and how pretty. Like looking at a wonderland. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Hi, Nichol: You are going to LOVE stitching Give Greatly. I did it on 18 count one over one and I was so excited and pleased when I finished it. I haven't decided how to finish it yet but will most likely frame it because the sentiment is priceless and I love words to express myself and the value I place on others in my life or those who pass through. I struggle terribly with this time of year but have two grandsons who remind me of the magic of the holiday; they keep me on track. Take good care of yourself and enjoy the days as they come along. I wish you a terrific Happy New Year!
I am glad you went to the stitch store. We had one for over 30 years and just she retired and sold the business. New owners moved the business to MN. So we no longer have a local one. This has been hard for me but thanks to your flosstube I found Fat Quarter Shop. My plans are two at least two finishes a month. Thanks again Nichol. 3
Your Christmas Rules finish is AMAZING! So very clever. I can see why you wouldn't do the back of it.

I like the cute chicken magnet. Number 1. It is just adorable.
Thank you for all your flosstube and card making videos. I really enjoy seeing all the beautiful things you create! Your home is so beautifully decorated for Christmas! I don't make resolutions but I have come up with a word for 2023 and that is Intentional. I bought last year the Heart box from the Happy Planner with no idea on what I wanted to do with it.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours!♥
I loved your video! Very well put together and even with all the projects, I didn’t feel like it was all over the place! I’m teaching myself again after coming back to it from when I was a child and I’m about to be 50. Plans for the New Year: I think I will do 12x12 for New Years Eve so I can get ready this week! Thank you for a beautiful video! Love your fabric behind you!! You gained a new viewer today!❤ happy New Year! 3 please!
I finished the mittens and the trees and now am working on a new quilt before I get back to needles and a 2023 stitching project. Thank you for the inspiration! 1 2 3
1, 2, 3 Merry Christmas Nichol - I so appreciate all you do and love watching your cardmaking videos as well as all the Flosstubes! My plan to start 2023, is to make placemats for my dining room table out of the fabrics I have been hoarding forever. I think to myself, "what are you saving this fabric for anyway??" So, that's one plan and then I'd like to get back to several cross stitch projects that are started! Of course, I keep making cards too so I do stay busy! Happy New Year too!! xoxo
I do that often- “Merry Christmas to myself.” Lol
Merry Christmas 🎄. I cannot believe how fast time flew from thanksgiving to Christmas - I was scrambling 😅 I’m so excited to stitch along with the 12 by 12, work on my new stitchy planner with you and continue working on WIPS in 2023. I joined the chicken club so 1 please 😂. I have the other two already. Wishing you good cheer and Christmas blessings. I made so many of your paper craft tags and gift card holders this year and they are a big hit. I sent some to The Housewives and they were so appreciative- I felt like I needed to give you creative credit ❤. Thanks for your inspiration- you have brought me such joy. By the way, your house is gorgeous ❤❤❤🕊️
2, 3. Merry Christmas Nichol! Plans for the new year include actually having a plan! After many years of paper crafting, I’ve only recently gotten back into stitching (thanks to stitching dies and you!!) and I find myself needing more hours in the day to make all of the things. I recently dug out some of my old stitch patterns and kits, some 20+ yrs old. 😮 Love the ideas of witchy Weds and Santa Sunday. Sounds like planning might become another thing I need to do!! Thanks for being so inspiring. All the best in the new year. 🎉 ~ Michele
1, 2, 3 I'm such a monogamous stitcher, and seasonal stitcher, it breaks my brain to think about having so many starts all at one time! My plan for 2023 is to stitch a little or a lot every day and to get better at fully finishing my finished cross stitch pieces. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Nichol!! ❤️💚
I love seeing all of your fabric in the background!! So pretty!! 🤍
LOVE your planning channel!!! 💓
Bless you, dear! 🙏
Oh! Your home decor is soooo cuuuute!!! I have cherished teddies and precious moments too!! We are so much alike, with what we like!! 🤍❤️🤍❤️
I'd love to finish one chart per month in 2023! Wishing you all the best in the new year Nichol. Thanks for continuing to provide great crafty content. 3
Thank you for all you do throughout the year to inspire me to cross-stitch and quilt! I am enjoying your planning videos and am in the process of setting up my Happy Planner for 2023. Next year I plan to cross stitch 1 ornament per month, plan a new start each month, work on 3 whimsical Xmas stocking for my grandchildren, and finish my UFO’s. 1,2,3
You are funny about dog barking. It’s better than the thoughts I have had about my neighbor that has 4 barking dogs all day all year. Thank you for your content. 1 2 3
Happy Holidays! For 2023, I want to be able to work on more than one project at a time. Right now, I'm a monogamous kind of girl! 1, 2, 3
Hi Nicole, another great video. I really enjoy watching you flosstubes, they bring me such joy!! Happy Holidays! 1, 2, 3.
I did do a Christmas start this year. My birthday is two weeks after Christmas so I plan on doing another start that day. And then my younger sister, who we lost earlier this year, has a birthday in February. So I have picked out a start for her birthday too. Then I plan to work on all my whips. thank you again for spending time with us and showing us your beautiful works of art. 2. 3.
My plans for 2023 include doing more cross stitch! I got two fall projects stitched (not completely finished up - but stitched!) and I have a few more kitted and ready to go. I totally went to Etsy and looked up Brenda Gervais and I have those adorable snowmen in my cart. :o) Thanks for sharing and being honest and real. I appreciate you. Your giveaways are always lovely - 1 and 2.
1 and 2. I love the photos at the end. Your decorations are so beautiful. I have no plans yet for 2023. I'm a "what am i in the mood for stitcher".
No plans for a Christmas day start. Good thing as it's the day after. LOL 2023 plans--to actually stitch as much as I shop and watch UA-cam. 1,2,3
I plan to work mainly on my WIPs in 2023 and organize those, including creating a stitchy planner for the first time. 3
The holidays are always a hard time for me. This is the third Christmas without my husband who passed away in 2020. I was lucky to have my daughter here for the whole week and she’s expecting a baby inJune. poor thing was so nauseous, She was in bed most of the time, but just have her here at the house really made a difference for me. Looking forward to doing the New Year’s Eve 12 x 12. I’ve got to go out and get needles to get my projects all kitted up. I’ll probably do six new starts and six wips.
I hope you have a happy new year.
I love your finish! I will not be doing the 12 x 12 for New Years but it sounds like fun. I did complete 3 fully finishes on Christmas stitching today. We were supposed to be in NC to visit my son and daughter in law for Christmas but because of the weather and a furnace that decided to act up in below 0 temperatures, we had to cancel. I thought I would have lots of car stitching time to. We may just go next weekend. My plan for next year so far is to get as many WIPS done as possible ( I counted 2 earlier today) and to fully finish about 10 projects that are waiting for me. Most are smalls. I hope to finish This is the Day (it is about half way done) and to buy and finish Winter Rose Manor. Merry Christmas Nichol! 1 2 3
Ok whoa! The lego display!! That was awesome and my son would have loved his legos displayed that way when he was in HS. It is so hard, I just want to stitch all the things. So many things kitted up, but I am kind of a monogamous stitcher. I really want to finish my CCN Snow Village and I want to start Little House Needleworks Jack Frost's Tree Farm. But oh there are so many more on the list. Thanks for your awesome channel filled with inspiration and energy. I love it. 3 please.
Hope to get many of my stitched pieces fully finished in 2023. Sent 7 to my sister to make in to pillows. 2
1 and 3. For 2023 I am going to start my first big sampler along with a baby boy announcement for my first grandchild. Happy new year 🎉
I am planning to do the 12x12 but like you I am mixing it up with 6 new starts and 6 WIPS. I have also started my planner doing Flags on the 4th. valentines on the 14th. Christmas on the 25th and Halloween on the 31st. During certain months gets extra emphases on certain holiday stitching. I also want to start my own Flosstube. I have been stitching again for a year now and would really like a floss tube to keep me on track. Maybe a Biweekly for now. I also do other crafts such as sewing, paper and crochet and knit. So trying to plan all these projects certainly calls for planning. Thank you for showing us your plans. 1 3
Beautiful stitching!! And your home is gorgeous! You're an amazing decorator! Loved how you put everything together in your collections!!!
Hearts Desire is a great shop! I spent the day at the shop this summer with a larger group of friends and had a blast. I left a few pieces to be framed and they turned out nice! Debbie does a great job with framing! Your finish turned out so pretty! Merry Christmas!
28 ct Jobelan can be found at 123 Stitch. It’s my favorite cross stitch fabric. I also buy in the white. I’ve dyed it many times and I love it.
Love your stitching finish Nichol! You always do a great job and so fun to see. I am going to attempt 6 new starts and 6 new WIPs for new years. I love #3 please. I have been thinking of joining the stitch quarterly group, as I have loved those patterns. Thanks for all of your inspiration!!
I’m going to do the 6 & 6 approach for New Year’s Eve. When my brother and sister in law invited everyone over to play Bingo on NYE, I was like…what? GO somewhere?!?! Interact with other people?!?! After not stitching much these last couple weeks, I just want to sit & stitch…especially since my husband got me a Halo Go for Christmas! 1 2 3
Beautiful Holiday decorations! Your home looks like a spread from Better Homes and Gardens! My 2023 plans are to finish all of my WIPS, starting on New Years. Thanks for all of your inspiration. 3
I hope you had a beautiful Christmas, Nichol. I loved your Christmas Rules, it's beautiful! I haven't stitched in almost a week, I've been trying to get over COVID. I think I might be able to stitch a little tomorrow, I'm finally feeling better and more myself. The holidays really do play with our emotions, hang in there, and it's okay to feel a little off sometimes. 1
Merry Christmas to you and enjoy your stitching 🎉🪡🧵 My goal for 2023 is to better manage my time in the new year. Set time for quilting, cross stitching and “cleaning”. Being a senior I get overwhelmed so need goals to relax more. I want to do the NYE 12 x 12 by doing 6 new starts and 6 WIP’s. Kitting up my patterns and making a list of floss needed, probably 3 trips to Hobby Lobby but still have time. Thank you for the encouragement and look forward to your next video 🥰🪡🙏☃️❄️
Merry Christmas Nicole! You inspired me to purchase my first cross-stitch kit. Thank you for ALL you do! I even ordered the magnifying glasses with might so I can stitch again after 26 years. I love all your floss-tubes video and your finish is gorgeous!! Hope your enjoying your family this holiday season and God bless you! I would love to win 1,2 or 3…hugs❤

So much in this video to comment on...beautiful finish for Christmas Rules, that basket is SO cute - notice it's rainbow! Your decorating if just gorgeous. Decorating is a talent I wish I had, but don't. I'm still undecided about the New Year's 12 x 12. That's a lot of sitting. I would have to get up and walk around for the last 5-10 minutes of each hour! If I decide to do this, I will have to do some pretty small projects. Otherwise I fear I won't finish them. I will be stitching at least some of the day if I don't. In fact, I'll be stitching some every day until Jan 3! Then I go back to fitting it in when I can (bummer). I hope your Christmas was merry! 3
2 3 - I hope you and your family had a very Merry Christmas! I have no plans at the moment for a specific stitch in the new year, but I will be stitching. We are just getting through some very trying times right now. But, God is good all the time. I'm very blessed to have the privilege to follow you and your channel.
I fly by the seat of my pants usually, but will plan for 2023 to finish more WIPS! Hahaha enjoy your Christmas! Remember not everything has to be done perfect it’s the memories that count and they never show imperfections! 1 2 3 😊❤️
Love all your purchases - so nice to have a local shop. My plans for 2023 is to use my happy planner to record my finishes, complete a project each month and to gift more of my finishes. Happy New Year. 1,2 and 3.
Love Love you Christmas Rules short finish. I’ve had that stand for a while and now I know what I can use it for. Stitch this again short version and make christmas present for next year ❄️🎄☃️
The Christmas Rules turned out so great! I plan to keep stitching everything! Lol. 1, 2, 3
Hello Nichol,
Plans are busy! I really need to reorganize the studio a bit. It's a Giant mess. More YT on both FT and card making. This year, I want to work on small items and ornipatterns. To prep at least 2 wool projects, 2 cross stitch pattrerns. Our children hosted dinner, so I don't have that mess.
I uploaded my first flosstube piece . Thank you. I mentioned you in my very first flosstubem.
1, 2, 3. Tfs. Pea
What a sweet treat to sit and watch your video after the gang left and I'm too whooped to do much of anything!! My stitching plans for 2023 are to create as many ornaments as I can for a stitched tree next year, and to complete a few big projects. Would also like to organize my floss and fabrics. Would love to see how you store your floss.
2, 3
Merry Christmas! I hope you enjoyed your time with family and friends. I am planning on finishing a Birthday pillow, that has stitching on it, for my grandbaby who turns three on Jan 7th. I am also starting a cross stitch baby quilt that I hope doesn't take as long as the last one I did to finish. 2
1 2 3 I just want to finish my WIPS! I am Expecting my 4th granddaughter in march so the first thing I will be making is a baby quilt! Merry Christmas Nicole!
I did a Christmas start and finish of small from Just Another Button Company. Going the easy route for 12by12 and starting each month for Hands On Designs “Well Hello There” series. Love the Christmas Rules finish! 1 3
Wow, I need to watch these videos more often so I don’t miss the giveaways
Except now I see it’s only for the US. 🥲 I am from Canada
Haven't stitched in a while -- time to get out the supplies. 2 3 -- thank you for a great 2022 of inspiration and looking forward to a new season and new year.
My plans this week and through the new year holiday are to complete a few finishes and to start a new project. I tend to be a monogamous stitcher. I love your latest finish. That spinning chalkboard is too cute! Thank you and I hope you had a great Christmas! 1,2,3
I completely relate to you saying you had a bit of a hard time getting into the mood for Christmas. I'm a new stitcher and am very excited to do the 12 x 12 on New Years. It sounds like fun. For 2023 I plan on stitching as much as possible but I seem to be guilty of getting finishes done but don't fully finish them at that time. They are piling up. 1,2,3
Thanks for another great video. Plan to organize and work on WIPS for 2023. Beautiful Christmas decor in your home! 1, 2, 3
My main goal is to keep up with big city cross stitch pattern. 1, 3. Thank you!
2,3
Merry Christmas! I hope it was a nice relaxing day with your babies. The house decor is beautiful❤🎄I wish I could fully decorate, my toddler makes it that I can only decorate the Kitchen counters and half a tree😂😂😂
Doing 12 x12 plans right now. 1 2 3 Merry Christmas!!!
1. My 2023 plans include stitching a berry, a stand up, and a Biscornu. Finishing is not my strong suit so I am challenging myself. Happy New Year 🎉
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas Nichol! My plans for 2023 are to be more scheduled with stitching so I am no lazy haha. I would be interested in 1,2,3. Thank you for all you do!
You are so sweet and kind, I really enjoy watching your videos!
1, 2, 3
Number 3 is so darn cute, would love this!
Merry Christmas Nicole! You are beautiful inside and out; hope you had a peace filled holiday. I had a come to Jesus moment as well 😁 I call it staying in touch. Anyhoo, love your finish on Christmas Rules, that turned out gorgeous! Plans for New Year Day, welp🤔, since I have a squirrel mind, no telling what I will pick up, put down, pick something else, put it down...so on and so forth 🤣🤣🤣 3
Merry Christmas! 1. 3. I'm planning on the 12x12. Depends on grandkids. I've got a planner want to start using it. Such great projects are out there. Want to do them all! Lol great job with your floss tube. Enjoy it very much
I am starting Welcome Winter by Primrose Cottage and really focusing on that one in particular. I am working not to overwhelm myself but just keep on stitching on all the new patterns I have ordered until I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I so love Cup Of Christmas Cheer as it is too cute! I enjoyed the video. Thank you! 3
I am planning to do the 12x12 on NYE but most will be WIPs and for New Years I want to start my “Give Greatly” too! As for my 2023 plans just as much stitching as possible. I love the idea for 4th of July stitching on the 4th! For giveaways I’d love either 1, 2, 3
Hi Nichol. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. I have several winter charts to start. I love snowmen so they all have snowmen. Several are ones that you showed today. My first will be Snowplace like home from Primrose Cottage sip n stitch. I was lucky enough to buy a kit before they sold out. I won’t be able to start though until January 2nd though. The holidays are to crazy here, plus my husband birthday is January 1st. So there is lots of celebrating at this time of year. I had to put my cross stitch aside for the last 2 weeks & thru January 1st & I am so ready to get back to it. Again I hope you have a great New Year. 1 3
Merry Christmas. I hope you had a great day with your family. I loved all your Christmas decorations they are beautiful. I loved that you got a clip of you sons Star Wars legos. My husband has I think 3 cabinets with all of his Star War legos. Have a great week.
We are a lego loving family here! Pretty grateful to my son's grandma for gifting us the cabinets so he can display part of his collection!
2,3. I wish you and your family a safe,healthy and happy new year. Thank you for all the inspiration and encouragement. I hope to do Christmas ornaments for my nieces and nephews for next year. Have not decided whether to crosstitch them as I liked your felt ornaments. Still have to work on Santa crosstitch, hope to start this week. I do not plan on doing the 12by12 this year but hope to do some stitching. Take care and looking forward to seeing your 12 by12 progress.
1, 3. Happy Holidays and Happy early New Year!! I won't be stitching 12 x 12 but my "loose" plans are to start something new each month but devote the remainder of my time to my many, many WIP's. I am also going to go through my WIP's and deconstruct any that I don't absolutely love any more and/or use the stitching for project bags, etc.. You are truly inspirational - thank you for making such wonderful videos!
Bless you, Nichol. Thank you for your kind thoughts. Your Christmas Rules looks fantastic!! I love it. 123Stitch has the Black Jobelan in stock. I'm not sure if you buy from them. Plans for 2023... I plan to work less and stitch more! I've been watching your planning channel. I bought a Happy Planner and TOO MANY stickers. :-) 2 3
You have Precious Moments too!!!!!!
Merry Christmas Friend! Lori told me she was a stitcher now. 😆 My plans for 2023 are to work on some small projects each month. I have Hands On Design a year of celebration Season 1 with Season 2 on its way as well and I also want to do Little House Needleworks Little Sheep Virtues since there are also 12 those. I'm struggling with fabric, I want to give Lugana a try again since these are small but some days it seems okay and then the other day I picked a bunch out because I got one thread off. 🤦🏻♀
I am super excited to watch your channel NY for the hourly event !! And I also love 3!!!!
Happy holidays and I feel you with the holiday hustle. Christmas completely creeped up on me and didn’t really feel like Christmas. My littles were ready though…lol. My goals for 2023 is to get back to some wips but fully finish some project… I’m the worst. 3
3 I plan to finish a large sampler, continue 12 days of Christmas ornaments (currently working on 8), and finish a cool photography themed project for my son. Really ambitious!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! Your project turned out beautiful. Your Christmas decor is gorgeous!!! Your home is such a welcoming place. Enjoy the holidays with your family. Take care of yourself!!!
Thank you for your honesty and sharing. You are not alone.🤗🤪
Goal is to be more organized with my stitching. 1, 2, 3
My 2023 Goal is to find time to stitch!! Your Floss Tubes are so inspiring, thank you! Best Wishes to you in 2023!! 2 3
I think I’ll do the 12 x 12. I have a number of items I kitted and didn’t start because of the holidays. I have WIPS too including our SAL🤦🏻♀️ so this will be fun! I will start at 9am because there is no way I can make it to midnight. My plans for 2023 are to be more organized in both stitching and card making. I bought planners for both. Happy New Year, Nichol. 🥳
1,3 I plan to whittle down my WIP pile. So hard when it's so much fun to start something new! Love your Christmas Rules finish! Happy New Year!
This is the first time I have seen your videos. What a pleasant end to my day. Have fun New Years Eve 12 for 12. 3
I would absolutely love to join in the 12x12, it sounds so fun! 3
My 2023 plans are to start and ffo more than one project! Lol. Merry Christmas 🎄 I have started “Jingle Bell Sleigh Ride today”. 1,2,3.
I would like 2, please!!!! Thank you!!! 2023 I'm hoping to start my Christmas projects much earlier so I have time to finish everything in time!
Planning to tackle smaller projects so something gets finished. And scheduling nin the time until it becomes more front of mind. I find I can get overhwhelmed. . .
I'm very disappointed in myself that I just now found your videos! I now must go through and catch up on all of them! I'm perhaps the slowest stitcher ever (doesn't help that I get distracted easy) so I have several projects to work on. I did, however, buy myself one pattern that I am going to work on for New Year's. 2 and 3 are my favorites.
I always plan to stitch twelve Christmas ornaments in the year. This year I stitched 3 and have two Prairie Schooler Santas I might be able to finish before the end of the year. I'm thinking of doing the 12x12 and starting all Christmas ornaments since the starting and counting take so long but maybe this will help me achieve my goal this year. As always lovely chat and many thanks for the inspiration and motivation to keep on stitching.
