    Hi Christine. You are the Queen of Crafting! Thank you for sharing your Halloween and Autumn decor highlighting your amazing cross stitch and felt projects. Your crocheted turkey is darling. And I love the cat and the moon design. I hope the month of November brings you less stress and more crafty time. Take care.

    I love that your halloween / spooky stitching video ended up having a 13 in the number! also I think your projects are looking sooo good. I love the vintage country mocha for your cottage garden sampling start! I like how big it is on the 14 count tbh! I also absolutely love your walk through showing us all your decor- so many beautiful handmade things!!!!

    Hi Christine! Nice to get caught up with you and all your crafting. I hope you are feeling better and your stressful period is behind you! You certainly have been productive! I am still in the throes of chaos with a major life change. My family has purchased a new home and sold the old one in the last four months. I spent the first four days in the new house trying to find my dishes! I have been stressed, sleep deprived and just downright bruised from carting things from one place to the other. So you have my empathy when it comes to life stresses! I am looking forward to getting back to stitching! I am still finding my crafting boxes everywhere! I will get myself together one of these days! Watching you has helped inspire me for sure. Thanks!

The crocheted turkey is adorable! I know how to crochet but have never tackled this type of project. I may put it on my bucket list! Thanks for another great video!

    Enjoyed so much seeing all your Halloween and fall stitching!! I'm glad COVID wasn't too bad on you and your husband. I never thought about it but we have had a virus moving through our household the majority of October. Now I am curious if it was COVID. I have had COVID at least twice. This didn't feel like what I had before but it has been very rough on me. I was also disappointed we didn't get to get to do some of our traditions leading up to Halloween but we made the best we could out of the situation. I also enjoyed some THRILLER movies along with stitching. See you in the next video!

    So I just bought Midnight Owl...hehe. I haven't stitched a Mill Hill kit yet so this will be my first. Also, super excited about your incoming Dimensions kits parade that I keep bugging you about! I got Covid in March and went to urgent care because I didn't know what was wrong with me. I was so shocked when the doc told me it was COVID. I am glad you got a mild case. Take care!

I really struggled with how long it is but I guess there is always the 'fast forward' or the "stop and move on" button on youtube, lol!

    A pretty productive month! What a sweet turkey amigurumi🦃. I love Herrshners kits, but oh my, the shipping to Canada is horrendous. Maybe that ends up being a good thing, but I still order the catalogues and circle almost everything! I have been working on my Wreath and am about three days past my pleasure point, so it is going away for a few months I think. I hope you are all well and better by now: it's lousy being sick but at least you got it over with before the holidays😊. Take care❤

    I did stitch Away We Ride and I did leave the Border Off but everything else is stitched though.
    I am not into Halloween all that much. I have stitched one Halloween Picture and it is hanging up in my Dining Room and it is a Non Scary Halloween Picture - it’s more like Fall type Halloween Picture.
    Take Care & Happy Stitching

    Hi Christine, I would love to hear about the woodland felt kit. I was hearing that there is no printing on the felt and you have to create that yourself. I really would like that kit but one it's on back order and two if it doesn't have printing on it that may be too much work for me and I would feel a little lost since the only kits I have done before have the printing on it. Thank you for your videos.
