    It is always a pleasure to see what Charlotte is up to. Her excitement and enthusiasm is contagious. She is a fireball of energy😊. Congratulations on making it to the halfway point in your year of 50 stitches. It must be hard to put down something you are enjoying to start something new. My favourite thing about Halloween is handing out candy and seeing all the cute costumes. Happy stitching!

    • @sewmesarah
      @sewmesarah  2 місяці тому

      Thank you Linda. Charlotte is definitely a force of nature! Yes, it’s hard starting things and having to leave them but I am getting some of them moved on and finished so it’s not too bad. The bigger ones will probably have to wait until next year.

    Congratulations to Andrew for getting a job and in such a lovely area - good for his walking/running choices - but a shame for you it's across the Channel. Our daughter has always thanked us for her being independent as being a Nanny has meant she has late finishes and time off when friends are working so she is often travelling solo. The quilt show is held in May and a smaller one in October outside Malvern 😊. I hope you hear soon re: Charlotte's school. Let's hope we get summer weather for the school holidays!! You'll have had a lovely time moving your stash and discovering lost/forgotten items😂. You'll appreciate having more space - when you can find the time to enjoy it lol! Happy stitching🙂

    • @sewmesarah
      @sewmesarah  2 місяці тому +1

      Staying on the mainland is the right thing for career opportunities. I love Northern Ireland but can see that it’s just too small to offer the opportunities our young people need. At least I have a good excuse to visit somewhere I’ve never been before, and the quilt show is an added bonus😉 It has been lovely moving my cross stitch things and reorganising better, but it’s spreading out a bit and reminding me of just how much I actually have!

    I really enjoyed hearing your memory of your holidays spent at the bridge and got me started on our own family memories on this Father’s Day in North Carolina. You also brought back memories of when my son began his new life after school which eventually brought him to Ireland…as he lived and worked as the lead medical orthopedic person for Riverdance in Dublin for several years. We were able to visit him for two weeks about 30 years ago and travelled all over your beautiful country! Great memories! The new Halloween chart looks really cute and I’d love to stitch it! I love how you’re making great, continued progress on your 50…it’s inspired me to start a few more of my own! 💕

    • @sewmesarah
      @sewmesarah  2 місяці тому

      Wow Susan, that’s amazing that your son worked with Riverdance in Dublin. I hope he enjoyed his time in Ireland and I’m glad you got to visit too. I love the special memories place can evoke for us.

    Loved your video. It was fun to hear about the bridge house and your holidays there. Sometimes we watch walking videos and I remember seeing the bridge house on Dave’s Walks UA-cam channel. He walks through the English countryside and doesn’t talk, just shows the beautiful countryside. Very relaxing. Love your starts for Christmas in July. Happy Stitching

    • @sewmesarah
      @sewmesarah  2 місяці тому

      Yes, the Bridge House is very distinctive and so cute because it is relatively tiny. For many years it was used as an apple store (actual apples, not tech equipment 😉) because it has no grounded foundations and being over the river it was naturally cool and perfect for the purpose.

  • @barbhanson1756
    @barbhanson1756 2 місяці тому

    I loved seeing Charlotte in the previous video, and hearing about her reactions to the messages. There was no doubt in my mind that the house on the bridge holds a special place in your heart. I'm glad that Andrew is finding his way in the world, though wish that he would have been closer to you. I am fortunate that my four kids all live within 40 kms to us. Halloween will be here before we know it unfortunately.

    • @sewmesarah
      @sewmesarah  2 місяці тому

      Oh that’s so lovely that your children aren’t so far away from you. Truthfully, Northern Ireland is just too small to offer the employment opportunities our young people need so it’s the right move in that respect but yes, my mama’s heart wishes he were a little closer. But, on the plus side he’s moving to a very pretty area of England I haven’t visited before and now I’ll have an excuse to go there!

That would be so exciting. The historical sampler patters are always so beautiful. Halloween stitching is my favorite to do. Happy stitching.😊

      @sewmesarah  2 місяці тому

      I’m enjoying my 50 but glad I’m doing it this year and not leaving it until the number is bigger 😉🤣 I don’t enjoy Halloween so I don’t stitch for it. Once I did a little gift stitch for a friend who likes Halloween and I can see the appeal in stitching it, especially when there are so many fun charts around.

We did love the cute Bridge House and Ambleside was lovely...yes, a bit touristy but I guess that included us as well 😂 We will be back to the area for sure. And I'm excited to see your Bridge House stitch...it's so tiny and cute...just like the House itself! By pure coincidence I was stitching on the Historical Sampler Company Happy H....

    Lovely to see you this afternoon Sarah. We're just back after an unplanned week in Somerset catching up with family & friends before life is interrupted for a few weeks over the summer. As a result I've been knitting rather than stitching. I'm so looking forward to getting back to the MFE 2024 SAL I can feel the finish approaching.
    Congratulations to your son, Malvern is a beautiful area with a great show grounds for the many shows held there annually.
    Love your stitching as always. The Blue Bird has stitched up really quickly 👏👏👏
    For some mad reason, I decided to kit up 324 by Works by ABC. I kept seeing the pattern & I was intrigued by the idea of using 324 DMC colours. So I kitted it up, I only needed to add 19 colours to complete the list & I was able to get all but one in the UK this week. I was also able to get some 18ct white Aida for it as well. With all the colours I wanted something plain for the background.
    Don't know when I'll get to start it.
    Hope Charlotte's schooling gets sorted out before the end of term.
    Take care, best wishes from 🇮🇪

    • @sewmesarah
      @sewmesarah  2 місяці тому

All so pretty. I have been going back and forth with ordering that Historical Sampler Co Halloween Sampler. As you know, I don’t need another chart or another start, still……….😂. I feel for you with clearing Andrew’s room. Ah but you raised him to fly and he is. Take heart sweet friend. Thank you for taking time to make the video. 😘❤️

      Andrew has always been very capable and independent natured and he is ready to step out into adult life now. We miss him terribly, of course, but he was always going to move away permanently. In career terms it’s absolutely the right move. NI just doesn’t have the opportunities. I just hope he remembers to call us once in a while and visit now and again. He’s not so great at that 🙄

    I enjoyed stitching with you this evening : ) Wonderful projects and oh I love the stories about Ambleside! I know it well, but just though Charlotte Mason. She was the inspiration for our homeschool curriculum. I have seen videos of people traveling there to see where she lived and worked. It's on my bucket list : )
    I have Adore Him on my list of starts. July will be a great time to get it going! Thank you for sharing the border resource book. I have several books with alphabets and a few borders mixed in, but not one is just borders. What a find, thank you!

      The border book is really lovely. I’m ashamed to say I had to go and look up Charlotte Mason on Google. For the many, many years I’ve been to Ambleside and the surrounding area I do not know why I haven’t heard of her. I did however have cause to use the health centre in Ambleside once and from what I’ve read that was on the site of the school she set up. The land and grounds are beautiful and I did think it rather grand for a health centre.

Though actually only one of my three has left and while he used to be 2 hours away he moved closer and is only 30 minutes away. His brothers both still live at home. I like to stitch Halloween and a throne. Take care.

      You must be making it too comfortable for them at home if they have no plans to leave 😉 Seriously though, it’s nice they’re close. I’ve always known Andrew wouldn’t come home after university. It is the right thing for him, and at least I can visit now and again if he has time to put up with his old mum.

    • @sewmesarah
      @sewmesarah  2 місяці тому +1

      I am having so much fun with the 50 starts and encourage you to give your 40 starts a go. It does take a little pre-planning for supplies but the way I approached it was knowing I didn’t have to have it fully kitted with threads, just enough threads for my two nights of a start. Then I can add to the threads through the year if it’s a project I’m going to keep working on. Have fun with it, and make it work in a way that suits you!

    If your Son does move to Malvern, you may wish to visit it him in May and take in the Quilt show at the Malvern show ground,
    Malvern it self and the surrounding area is well worth a visit to look at the county side and the Malvern Hills, or even walk them.

      It really does go fast. All those years when they are little are still so fresh in my mind and yet here we are with Andrew moving to an independent life, new job, new town, new home. Our nest is not so empty as little miss whirlwind tends to live life large and fills that space, so I’m sure it’s very different for you now looking at having no children at home. It’s the way it should be though.
