I just love everything about you, your attitude, your wisdom, your kindness, your talents, etc. it always makes me happy when you have a new video. I wish I knew you in real life. You are someone I would like to emulate. I am not weird I promise. I just wish I had a friend exactly like you!
I so appreciate your take on thankfulness and your reminder to be thankful for those things that we don't even think of to be thankf for. You expressed it so well. Thank you for all you do for this stitching community.
I take so much for granted even though I try to be grateful for my health, family, etc. Thank you for being you and emphasizing those little things, too. I am grateful you take time to share your stitching knowledge, talent and inspirations with all of us. I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas, and I hope you get the rest you need!
Merry Christmas, Theresa! One of the many things I am thankful for is you and your FlossTube videos-I always learn from them and I laugh along with you, too. 😘
I enjoyed this total program. Although I have discovered Floss tube this year, I have stitched since 70s. What fun. The Silver Needle is fabulous....I could stay there for a long time and I appreciate sharing. My favorite Christmas has to be cutout sugar cookies to decorate. My mother and I would cut out cookies and bake several days. Then we made different colored icing, gather edible decorative materials a holiday guests.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. 🤩 Another awesome flosstube. Enjoyed the tour of the Silver Needle, esp. the interview with Lindy. You expressed genuine sentiments during the last segment of your flosstube--a testament to your big heart. ❤❤❤
So grateful for you, Theresa. You make me laugh, think and buy stuff... My order from you is on its way and I’m super stoked about the Marjorie Massey freebie as I love swans. Thank you for your efforts to get the Uffindell sisters charts reprinted. I know Nicola thought long and hard about it. She made a great point about those who bought it as an investment and that is on them not her...as investments are usually risky and they were never intended as a way to “cash in.” My favorite holiday treats are ice creams we used to be able to buy at a local creamery, that is no longer here, so we make our own and I love them. One rounded ball/scoop of vanilla ice cream, rolled in coconut and little royal icing holly leaves with a couple of berries and a small white birthday candle stuck on top. So sweet when lit and brought to the table. I’ve been making them for over fifty years now and totally look forward to them each year. Just finished Jenny Bean’s Christmas Sampler. I LOVE it even though I made about a million mistakes. It is cute regardless. Lastly, when taking a Dickens class in college, I learned that Victorians loved to attend autopsies. They would have viewing rooms for families and courting couples to go watch...pretty horrifying to us today but quite the spectacle for them. Hope to see you again soon! Sally in Northern California 😁
You are the best! I love everything you do and talk about!!!! Love visiting with you and your darling cats. Great tour of The Silver Needle. Merry Christmas!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Theresa. I agree with Rosemary Sayers' comment below. I have followed you since you were in Fargo and I too love everything about you. You are a great person and I am so glad that you are part of this crazy cross stitch world. Thank you!!!
Hi, Theresa! I love your videos and so neat to see the cats moving around... I am glad your shop is doing well and am thankful for all you contribute! It was neat to see the Silver needle through your camera and have a peek into the class you had there. That is the closest needlework store to me and I drive there 2-3 times per year. Have been visiting Lindy for about 18 years. My favorite Christmas cookies are a special Sugar cookie recipe I have. YUMMY!
Teresa, was just able to watch your video tonight. I have to tell you your closing statements really hit home with me. I’m glad you reminded us that we have so much to be grateful for. Happy New Year!
Oh so amazing to see Lindy and the shop! I used to live in Missouri and could go there, miss that. The second one of The Sampler Company models over one I stitched that one 🙂 when I lived in Missouri. Was a lot of hours that I wanted to make again for myself. LOL it’s still kitted waiting to be done.
Great visiting with you today! Thanks for taking us to the Silver Needle! Thanks too for the great reminder of what to be thankful for. Happy stitching! Hope you and your family have a great holiday.
This was such a great video. Thank you for sharing your talents and being you. I continuously learn so much and appreciate all that you do for a cross stitcher.
Teresa, it’s you! So glad to spend some time with you today! You’re always a bright light! I had to replay the mummy party part to my hubby. You’re on my list of things I’m thankful for. Happy stitching and thanks for all you do! ❤️
Thanks for taking us along with you to the Silver Needle! What a great place! I could live there! Brussel sprouts are really good when you saute them in bacon grease and butter and crumbled up bacon. My mother used to say that there is always, always something to be thankful for! Wishing you and you family and the kitties too, a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! I'm thankful for you and all the joy you bring !😊♥️
Your punch needle is perfect. I want to get better at it. I love the look and I have a bunch of Brendas patterns. They are all so adorable! Great to visit and I love Zeros appearance 😊
It has been a tradition to make Spritz cookies on the Friday or Saturday after Thanksgiving! This year my 4 year old grandson was in the hospital with a swollen belly & thighs that they couldn't figure out the cause! He is doing fine now - they have chalked it up to a virus! But I really missed my daughters, granddaughters, and sometimes my grandsons making the cookies! Spritz cookies are pressed out in a cookie press & then decorated with sprinkles, red hots, & colored sugar. I missed the camaraderie of working together, laughing, etc! It just isn't the same when you make the cookies by yourself! Have a very Merry Christmas & take time off to recharge for 2020!
We love `Traffic lights` which has green, yellow & pink (for the red) Eskimo lollies and a crunchy fudge around as our Christmas treat. I usually use a music stand to hold my pattern but I need a new one. We loved seeing the squirrels when we visited with our friends. We have had pet opossum`s when our children where small. Once they grew they went out in the forest again as they really were not tame. Don`t see too many round here now. I use the ultra punch but mine is put away at the moment. Happy holidays and I hope some stitching time for you. I hope to stitch some as well.
So happy that you posted this video today!! I've been in a stitching slump and need to get moving! I really enjoyed your tour of The Silver Needle..one day it would be nice to visit. My favorite cookies are Butternut Balls. Have a very Merry Christmas, Teresa...and I hope you have a lot of stitching time!!
Loved visiting with you tonight while I stitched. My favorite is gingerbread, which I should make all year long, followed closely by a cookie an aunt used to make, then spritz cookies undecorated. Loved getting to see the Silver Needle. Have a great week and hope you do rest over Christmas week.
I would have to say my favorite Christmas great is pecan tassies...my mother made them and I have not had them since!! Thank you soon much for sharing your world with us and always making us think of how GOOD we do have it!! I pray your Holidays be BLESSED with alot of 💘 love, peace, and not for YOU and your family. You're one in a million!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY!!
Thanks for the reminder about what we have to be thankful for. Work is so busy these days, that thankfulness gets lost. But you are correct even busy work is something I should be thankful for. My favorite holiday treat is an apple tart with vanilla ice cream. Merry Christmas to you and yours :)
I love your videos - many of the ones if watch I fast forward thorugh all the talking - but with you I listen to every word you say. You are an extremely talent and wise person and I appreciate video you do. Thank you.
You are such a joy to watch! You are a wealth of information ...and I so look forward to your videos ...thank you for taking the time to entertain us as well as inform us....loved your new sampler ...she’s a beauty. Wishing you and your family a blessed holiday! One of my favorite cookies are my grandmothers rainbow icebox cookies😊
Peanut blossoms! That's what we call the cookie with the Hershey Kiss on top. It's our family favorite. Thanks for all you do to help the shelter. Also, I'm with you, possums are cute!
We do lots of baking over the holidays. My favorites are Jan Hagel’s and Mexican Wedding cookies, and Shortbread. I haven’t had a Yule Log before. They look a bit more complicated than my usual baked goods.
My favorite Christmas cookie is anything gingerbread and my favorite treat is Peanut butter Fudge. All needs to be homemade of course. Thank you for all that you do for the stitchy community and I love seeing your kitties. A very Merry Christmas and the Best New Year wishes to you and your family. Take some time and enjoy the season.
Great visiting with you today, you are always so up beat and such a joy. My favourite Christmas cookies would have to be old fashioned shortbread I press on with a decorative glass for a design. Squirrels! I made a garden gnome this year for outside (all over Pinterest where you wire evergreens to a tomato cage turned upside down, add mittens, nose and a hat. Well our squirrels 🐿 (we have several) ATE the hat! I too love to feed the birds. Enjoy the holidays!
Thank you for your wonderful videos, always such a treat. My favorite Christmas cookies are candy canes, where we roll red and white dough together and shape into a cane and top with crushed candy canes.
I really enjoy your videos and your sharing of knowledge. And seeing all your beautiful kitties. My favorite Christmas treat is old fashioned sugar cookie
Thank you for reminding us of our little blessings! I've had some health challenges this year, I sometimes have to stop and remind myself of my everyday blessings! 😃 Hey... I had a great time at Silver Needle! Thanks for all the fun! 💖 My favorite Christmas treats are the sugar cookies that we cut into shapes and decorate. My boys are grown now, but we still enjoy getting together to decorate cookies around Christmas.
I make the pretzel, Rolo, pecan half treats. They are so easy but I would eat them all of the time if I didn't restrict their making to Christmas. Another favorite is butterscotch dipped pretzels. Ummmmm good! I have a couple of 24/7 indoor cats and one 24/7 indoor dog so the word 'log' here has different images brought to mind when mentioned, and not anything that sounds appetizing. Lolol & Ewwwww too! I have a couple of regular possum visitors too! They come right up to my door to say hello to my indoor cats and make sure Miss. U (under) S (steps) K ( kitty) cleans her supper plate. Wonderful Video, Theresa! Wow! That Silver Needle is some store!!! It has been almost 28 years since I was in a LNS. We used to have a great one and I used to spend my Friday afternoons in there, sitting on the floor with a pile of patterns and books, just browsing through and then choosing half a dozen to buy. Usually with DMC ( that was the only floss they sold, and Walmart always was short a skein or two for a full kit up). Ahhhhh, those were the days! I've heard great things about the Silver Needle and I see here that they're all truth. Going on 4 am here so I'll be done. Merry Christmas and Best Stitches 😀🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️ Kitty Kenickie sends high paws to Zero! 😺🐾
We make a recipe from the 1950's that we call "TV Snacks". It is a lot like Chex Mix, but also has Cheerio's, Kix, Mixed Nuts, and Pretzels. It also has oil, butter, celery salt and garlic. It is definitely not good for us but we only eat it once a year. It is traditional in our house.
Hi Theresa... It was lovely visiting with you today .. I have pr ordered through Nicola for the sisters... I am stitching Christmas Sentaments while watching... all my Christmas cards are all made and posted... so I can now enjoy my stitching... Hopefully today Dennis will finish the livingroom and get the Christmas tree and decorations oot the attic... The new suite comes next week... and that will be us till the New Year... Merry Christmas and aw the best for the NewYear... in case I don't see you before then... Happy stitching... xx Louisa...
So glad to see you back!!! I always look forward to them! I also am LOVING Graham’s new fabric! It was beautiful and just the right amount of softness! I got the pie crust, but I’m coming back for more! My favorite cookie’s are Christmas butter cookies.
I loved this video!! I have missed you, Theresa!! Thank you for the Silver Needle tour...it looks like so much fun!!! While I am one of those rare people who like fruitcake, my favorite Christmas treat is 7 layer cookies!!! Take care!!! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!!!
Thanks for all that you do for us to enjoy! Also, loved the reminder to be grateful for the small things that we often forget about. My favorite Christmas cookie is a cream wafer sandwich cookie from my sister-in-law that melts in your mouth and that is TOO putzy for me to make..
It's always a treat when you post a video -- thank you! I don't know that I have a single favorite Christmas cookie or treat...I pretty much like all of them. 😋 There are a few things that I only make at Christmas (and I don't know why because they're not particularly Christmas-y) that I look forward to: chocolate crinkles, molasses crinkles, and soda cracker kisses. All so delicious! I hope you enjoy a wonderful Christmas season and are able to relax and stitch and start all the new things. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
My favorite cookie has always been the old fashioned drop sugar cookie, can't have a Christmas without them! Really enjoyed the shop tour of The Silver Needle, looks like you could spend an entire day there and still not see it all!
Welcome back Teresa. Are used to make dozens of different treats and cookies, but I think my most favourite was the butterscotch confetti. You know, the one with coloured marshmallows and peanut butter and butter,... yeah that yummy treat.
I love good old fashion sugar cookies! Love watching my cardinals especially in the snow. So pretty! Love the frosty houses. Almost done. Beautiful samplers! Wow that store is huge. What fun!
Hobo from Hoboken, lol! Favorite treat...my Nana's cutout cookies. (I have her vintage cookie cutters ). Loved your closing comment about things we don't think about being thankful for. That's how I try to go through each day. God bless you and your family, Theresa. You bring joy to all of your stitchy friends. Merry Christmas!
I love yule logs. My sister-in-law used to make such pretty and good ones along time ago. My favorite cookie I make is an oatmeal lace cookie, half of them with chocolate chips and half of them with craisins. Thanks for your chatty and fun videos.
Ok watching the rest. Lol my bff lives near Silver Needle. I envy her. I could stay there forever. I hope to visit one day. Lindy seems like a gem. I had the sisters originals and happy others get to have them. They weren’t my retirement plan lol. Thx for visiting Patti
Thanks for keeping me company as I stitch tonight! My favorite Christmas treat is gingerbread cake. I would really love a piece right now with some tea!
I just noticed that a small chart I completed for the Christmas Tree is stunning, but didn’t think it would be when I started it. You were right that cross stitch can look very different from the paper copy. My favourite treat is fruit cake!
Mmmmmm.Christmas cookies! My favorite cookie to eat during the holidays are Magic Cookie bars! A delicious layer of graham cracker crust, condensed milk, chocolate and butterscotch morsels, crushed nuts-all topped with sweet coconut. Oh. My. Goodness. When I eat them, I know that Santa is on his way and life feels so good. Yep. They melt troubles far away.....really....
My favourite Christmas cookie is my scratch made whipped shortbread. Butter, flour, icing sugar and cornstarch. Load the dough into a cookie press onto a sheet and bake. Yum. Too early to make yet because they would be gone in two days, and there is only two of us. Merry Christmas!
My favorite cookie is also the peanut butter ones with the kiss in the middle but those are year round favorites! My favorite xmas treat is pumpkin roll (make a pumpkin sheet cake then spread cream cheese frosting on it and roll it up). I guess it's kind of yule log-ish.
My favorite Christmas cookie are snowballs. It is a butter cookie with walnuts that are rolled into a ball baked and once cooled rolled in confectioners sugar.
Awesome content that should be labeled “caution...enabler present”...I mean that in the nicest way Teresa...and I do want to sincerely thank you for your videos...they bring me such a good feeling that all is well...your get such cute pictures of kittens...I asked my husband if we were going to Tulsa soon...the Harriet ? Sampler you showed is outstanding...saw your JB Band Sampler on a new FlossTuber this week...beautiful...loved the colors...I too am thankful for the medication that allows me to function and stitch and knit and enjoy my family...my favorite Christmas treat is the special fruit cake that contains sultans, pecan, walnuts, candied cherries and pineapples...best wishes and enjoy your time off the week of Christmas❤️
My favorite Christmas cookies are Hello Dollys. I 've never had a Yule Log either but now I'll have to look that up. So enjoy your chit chat. Thanks for sharing and happy stitching!
Hi Teresa So glad for a new video🤗.. Love that Graham is dying his owe fabric .. Will pray for success 🙏 Hope your Christmas is blessed. My favorite Christmas goodie is my almond roca . It's always a big hit with my friends and family. .. I to love punch needle too and have several in my stash but working on a Teresa k. Piece .. My Shepard praise and a little house farmhouse series are keeping me busy ..enjoy 🎄 and get some rest 😊
My favorite Christmas cookie is Gingerbread cookies. Someone in my family used to make those peanut butter cookies you are talking about. Love them too. Every Christmas I make Gingerbread cookies, Sugar cookies -cut out shapes and frosted, and Pecan Crescents. We have a tradition here where I mostly use the traditional Christmas cookie cutter shapes but then cut out some non Christmas shapes like sheep, rabbits, and airplanes just for fun. Weird food - did you ever see the vampire blood popsicles!
My Nana's shortbread and homemade fudge are my favourite Christmas treats. She gave us the recipe before she passed away and my Dad and I have carried on the tradition of making shortbread every year. Haven't made her fudge yet but I hope to one day :) Always enjoy catching up with you and the kitties!
Always enjoy some stitchy tube while stitching. I have a fave cookie very similar to yours... it was my grandmothers recipe that I found and we call them snowballs, rolled into balls instead of crescents and they had crushed pecans and very little sugar. In fact this weekend I will be making my Christmas cookies :)
I love Scandinavian cookies. If I had to choose only one it would probably be the Thumb print cookies, Betty Crocker cookbook. I think my Betty Crocker Cookbook is from about the 50’s or 60’s. They are probably the same in current cookbooks. I use our home made crabapple jelly instead of current jelly. Still have Christmas baking to complete. Merry Christmas!
Was so happy to see you put up a new video. My favorite Christmas cookie is Mexican Wedding Cookie (aka snowballs, Russian Tea Cakes...). I also like a good Biscoti with a cup if tea. Have a wonderful and restful Christmas!
Baaa, from the thousands of ewes (here in New Zealand) lol .. What an amazing shop & the owner seems so lovely, thank-you for the tour .. I bet one could go in every day of the week and still find things they had missed seeing before! My favourite treat at Christmas would have to be gingerbread cookies and ambrosia salad like my mum used to make .. Though I watched her make it every year I have spent the last 20 trying to recreate it to taste exactly like hers did and last year was the closest by far - even though I know I added things she certainly didn't, like chopped up snickers bars :p
I am with you, my favorite Christmas treat is the Peanut Blossoms!! I love them! I also love Kolachis!! You are so pleasant to listen too!! I enjoy your sense of humor!! It’s priceless!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you and your loving family!
I don’t comment often but I wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoy watching you. You are truly an inspiration and so positive. Thank you for reminding us all to be thankful for the little things. I’d love for LOTF to one day be available for all of us to stitch her. Limited editions are a struggle to support because maybe someone doesn’t have the money at the time to claim one or later they decide they’ve fallen in love with the chart & can no longer get it without paying 100s of dollars for one.
Wonderful to see you again. 😊 I would say Ginger Snaps are my favorite because after all the sweet stuff they are just kind of a palate cleanser. Only way I can think to describe it. Going to try Gingerbread biscotti this year as something new.
We have the crescent cookies also which is my favourite. My aunt makes them from a German recipe but they are with crushed almonds and have sugar sprinkled on top. Merry Christmas.
Favorite Christmas cookie is pecan balls, which I think are the same as Russian tea cakes, just a less glamorous name. One of the few cookies that my mom made and a favorite of my son's, so special memories. Hope your New Year is off to a good start.
I must admit I love a good Yule log and I love mince pies at Christmas. Your video of the Silver needle was so cool. I’d love to visit it one of these days. Hope you had a great Christmas and Happy New Year. I love watching your videos I always learn something new😊
My favorite treat for Christmas is La bûche de Noël. It is the Yule log . A chocolate cake with chocolate whipped cream infuse in Tia Maria. It’s a French Canadian tradition
My favorite Christmas cookie is Spritz. I prefer them undecorated because I love the flavor. Thanks for the Silver Needle tour. I hope to go there someday. I attended the Houston Quilt Festival in November, and out of the 1000+ booths that were there, I made a beeline to their booth first of all.
Thumbprint cookies! Loved the ending of your video, you voiced our everyday blessings so well. I too like to think back and be thankful for just the every day, nothing special kind of days.
My absolute favorite cookie is one my Grandmother would make. It was a sugar cookie cut into a circle with a biscuit cutter and a raisin mix was put on half folded over and sealed with the tines of a fork, a sprinkle of sugar on top before baking. YUM Grandmas’s raisin filled cookies. 😋❤️
Theresa, your videos are the best-I enjoy everyone. This one was particularly interesting and fun. I love the part about the mummy unwrapping and throwing the turkey in the garbage. I laughed so hard with that one! I don't usually make cookies at Christmas, but one of my favorite treats that I make are caramel and chocolate dipped granny smith apples with chopped pecans. I'm drooling now just thinking about them! I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Pam Miller
I just love everything about you, your attitude, your wisdom, your kindness, your talents, etc. it always makes me happy when you have a new video. I wish I knew you in real life. You are someone I would like to emulate. I am not weird I promise. I just wish I had a friend exactly like you!
Aw, that is so nice of you! Thank you so much. :) - T

You are the best! I love everything you do and talk about!!!! Love visiting with you and your darling cats. Great tour of The Silver Needle. Merry Christmas!!!
I love anything with mint or peppermint in it. Thank you for a wonderful year of stitchy knowledge and goodness.

Those Victorians! I would love to go back in time and attend a mummy party!!! - T
Thanks for taking us along with you to the Silver Needle! What a great place! I could live there!
Brussel sprouts are really good when you saute them in bacon grease and butter and crumbled up bacon.
My mother used to say that there is always, always something to be thankful for!
Wishing you and you family and the kitties too, a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
I'm thankful for you and all the joy you bring !😊♥️
You are such a joy to watch! You're so insightful about this business and that teaches us a lot! So, thank you!

Thank you for sharing your time with us. I love coconut macaroons I have made them every Christmas since 1965.
“He’s already pooped in the tub today so we got that out of the way.”
Your retreat projects look amazing and the store too. Happy Holidays to you and yours

Thanks for the reminder about what we have to be thankful for. Work is so busy these days, that thankfulness gets lost. But you are correct even busy work is something I should be thankful for. My favorite holiday treat is an apple tart with vanilla ice cream. Merry Christmas to you and yours :)

Well our squirrels 🐿 (we have several) ATE the hat! I too love to feed the birds. Enjoy the holidays!
Thank you for your wonderful videos, always such a treat. My favorite Christmas cookies are candy canes, where we roll red and white dough together and shape into a cane and top with crushed candy canes.
I really enjoy your videos and your sharing of knowledge. And seeing all your beautiful kitties. My favorite Christmas treat is old fashioned sugar cookie
Thank you for reminding us of our little blessings! I've had some health challenges this year, I sometimes have to stop and remind myself of my everyday blessings! 😃 Hey... I had a great time at Silver Needle! Thanks for all the fun! 💖 My favorite Christmas treats are the sugar cookies that we cut into shapes and decorate. My boys are grown now, but we still enjoy getting together to decorate cookies around Christmas.
I make the pretzel, Rolo, pecan half treats. They are so easy but I would eat them all of the time if I didn't restrict their making to Christmas. Another favorite is butterscotch dipped pretzels. Ummmmm good! I have a couple of 24/7 indoor cats and one 24/7 indoor dog so the word 'log' here has different images brought to mind when mentioned, and not anything that sounds appetizing. Lolol & Ewwwww too! I have a couple of regular possum visitors too! They come right up to my door to say hello to my indoor cats and make sure Miss. U (under) S (steps) K ( kitty) cleans her supper plate. Wonderful Video, Theresa! Wow! That Silver Needle is some store!!! It has been almost 28 years since I was in a LNS. We used to have a great one and I used to spend my Friday afternoons in there, sitting on the floor with a pile of patterns and books, just browsing through and then choosing half a dozen to buy. Usually with DMC ( that was the only floss they sold, and Walmart always was short a skein or two for a full kit up). Ahhhhh, those were the days! I've heard great things about the Silver Needle and I see here that they're all truth. Going on 4 am here so I'll be done. Merry Christmas and Best Stitches 😀🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️ Kitty Kenickie sends high paws to Zero! 😺🐾
We make a recipe from the 1950's that we call "TV Snacks". It is a lot like Chex Mix, but also has Cheerio's, Kix, Mixed Nuts, and Pretzels. It also has oil, butter, celery salt and garlic. It is definitely not good for us but we only eat it once a year. It is traditional in our house.
Loved the tour of the shop!!!! It truly is a happy place!!!! :-)
Hi Theresa... It was lovely visiting with you today .. I have pr ordered through Nicola for the sisters... I am stitching Christmas Sentaments while watching... all my Christmas cards are all made and posted... so I can now enjoy my stitching... Hopefully today Dennis will finish the livingroom and get the Christmas tree and decorations oot the attic... The new suite comes next week... and that will be us till the New Year... Merry Christmas and aw the best for the NewYear... in case I don't see you before then... Happy stitching... xx Louisa...
So glad to see you back!!! I always look forward to them! I also am LOVING Graham’s new fabric! It was beautiful and just the right amount of softness! I got the pie crust, but I’m coming back for more! My favorite cookie’s are Christmas butter cookies.
I loved this video!! I have missed you, Theresa!! Thank you for the Silver Needle tour...it looks like so much fun!!! While I am one of those rare people who like fruitcake, my favorite Christmas treat is 7 layer cookies!!! Take care!!! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!!!
Thanks for all that you do for us to enjoy! Also, loved the reminder to be grateful for the small things that we often forget about. My favorite Christmas cookie is a cream wafer sandwich cookie from my sister-in-law that melts in your mouth and that is TOO putzy for me to make..
Miss you, Theresa! Hope there's a new flosstube soon. Happy New year!
It's always a treat when you post a video -- thank you! I don't know that I have a single favorite Christmas cookie or treat...I pretty much like all of them. 😋 There are a few things that I only make at Christmas (and I don't know why because they're not particularly Christmas-y) that I look forward to: chocolate crinkles, molasses crinkles, and soda cracker kisses. All so delicious! I hope you enjoy a wonderful Christmas season and are able to relax and stitch and start all the new things. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
My favorite cookie has always been the old fashioned drop sugar cookie, can't have a Christmas without them! Really enjoyed the shop tour of The Silver Needle, looks like you could spend an entire day there and still not see it all!
Welcome back Teresa. Are used to make dozens of different treats and cookies, but I think my most favourite was the butterscotch confetti. You know, the one with coloured marshmallows and peanut butter and butter,... yeah that yummy treat.
The Rose sampler is gorgeous. What a WOW!
I love good old fashion sugar cookies! Love watching my cardinals especially in the snow. So pretty! Love the frosty houses. Almost done. Beautiful samplers! Wow that store is huge. What fun!
Hobo from Hoboken, lol!
Favorite treat...my Nana's cutout cookies. (I have her vintage cookie cutters ).
Loved your closing comment about things we don't think about being thankful for. That's how I try to go through each day.
God bless you and your family, Theresa. You bring joy to all of your stitchy friends. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for your time and all the info you shared----good stuff! Happy Holidays!
I love yule logs. My sister-in-law used to make such pretty and good ones along time ago. My favorite cookie I make is an oatmeal lace cookie, half of them with chocolate chips and half of them with craisins. Thanks for your chatty and fun videos.
Ok watching the rest. Lol my bff lives near Silver Needle. I envy her. I could stay there forever. I hope to visit one day. Lindy seems like a gem. I had the sisters originals and happy others get to have them. They weren’t my retirement plan lol. Thx for visiting
Patti
I am thankful for YOU! 😊💖. You ROCK Miss T! Thank you for this awesome and fun video!
Thanks for keeping me company as I stitch tonight! My favorite Christmas treat is gingerbread cake. I would really love a piece right now with some tea!
Chocolate Fudge is my favorite treat. Mom only made it at Christmas time. Merry Christmas and may the new year bring everyone some stitchy fun.
I just noticed that a small chart I completed for the Christmas Tree is stunning, but didn’t think it would be when I started it. You were right that cross stitch can look very different from the paper copy. My favourite treat is fruit cake!
Mmmmmm.Christmas cookies! My favorite cookie to eat during the holidays are Magic Cookie bars! A delicious layer of graham cracker crust, condensed milk, chocolate and butterscotch morsels, crushed nuts-all topped with sweet coconut. Oh. My. Goodness. When I eat them, I know that Santa is on his way and life feels so good. Yep. They melt troubles far away.....really....
Date balls. They are confection goodness. Or jam filled oatmeal bars. Oh they bring back memories of baking with my mom at Christmas time. 🎄
I love your videos! They are so informative and inspiring and funny and I always enjoy them very much! Thank you for sharing!
Loved the video! Thanks for brightening up the week. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Great tour of the Silver Needle. I have never been there before. Now I want to go.
My favorite Christmas cookie is Pistachio pudding cookies, YUMMMM!
You are a blessing to all of us stitchers!!!
Thanks for taking the time to bring us another video , enjoy all that you share .
My favourite Christmas cookie is my scratch made whipped shortbread. Butter, flour, icing sugar and cornstarch. Load the dough into a cookie press onto a sheet and bake. Yum. Too early to make yet because they would be gone in two days, and there is only two of us. Merry Christmas!
My favorite cookie is also the peanut butter ones with the kiss in the middle but those are year round favorites! My favorite xmas treat is pumpkin roll (make a pumpkin sheet cake then spread cream cheese frosting on it and roll it up). I guess it's kind of yule log-ish.
My favorite Christmas cookie are snowballs. It is a butter cookie with walnuts that are rolled into a ball baked and once cooled rolled in confectioners sugar.
Loved this video! I especially loved your final comments. So absolutely true!
Awesome content that should be labeled “caution...enabler present”...I mean that in the nicest way Teresa...and I do want to sincerely thank you for your videos...they bring me such a good feeling that all is well...your get such cute pictures of kittens...I asked my husband if we were going to Tulsa soon...the Harriet ? Sampler you showed is outstanding...saw your JB Band Sampler on a new FlossTuber this week...beautiful...loved the colors...I too am thankful for the medication that allows me to function and stitch and knit and enjoy my family...my favorite Christmas treat is the special fruit cake that contains sultans, pecan, walnuts, candied cherries and pineapples...best wishes and enjoy your time off the week of Christmas❤️
My favorite Christmas cookies are Hello Dollys. I 've never had a Yule Log either but now I'll have to look that up. So enjoy your chit chat. Thanks for sharing and happy stitching!
Hi Teresa
So glad for a new video🤗..
Love that Graham is dying his owe fabric .. Will pray for success 🙏
Hope your Christmas is blessed. My favorite Christmas goodie is my almond roca . It's always a big hit with my friends and family. ..
I to love punch needle too and have several in my stash but working on a Teresa k. Piece .. My Shepard praise and a little house farmhouse series are keeping me busy ..enjoy 🎄 and get some rest 😊
My favorite Christmas cookie is Gingerbread cookies. Someone in my family used to make those peanut butter cookies you are talking about. Love them too. Every Christmas I make Gingerbread cookies, Sugar cookies -cut out shapes and frosted, and Pecan Crescents. We have a tradition here where I mostly use the traditional Christmas cookie cutter shapes but then cut out some non Christmas shapes like sheep, rabbits, and airplanes just for fun. Weird food - did you ever see the vampire blood popsicles!
My Nana's shortbread and homemade fudge are my favourite Christmas treats. She gave us the recipe before she passed away and my Dad and I have carried on the tradition of making shortbread every year. Haven't made her fudge yet but I hope to one day :)
Always enjoy catching up with you and the kitties!
My favorite Christmas cookie is kolacky. Enjoyed seeing the Silver Needle shop. Happy holidays to you and your family!
Hi Theresa, love your singing! My favorite cookie is a turtle cookie. Have a wonderful stitching week!
Always enjoy some stitchy tube while stitching. I have a fave cookie very similar to yours... it was my grandmothers recipe that I found and we call them snowballs, rolled into balls instead of crescents and they had crushed pecans and very little sugar. In fact this weekend I will be making my Christmas cookies :)
I love Scandinavian cookies. If I had to choose only one it would probably be the Thumb print cookies, Betty Crocker cookbook. I think my Betty Crocker Cookbook is from about the 50’s or 60’s. They are probably the same in current cookbooks. I use our home made crabapple jelly instead of current jelly. Still have Christmas baking to complete. Merry Christmas!
Love the video as always. My favorite is the Corn Flakes-marshmallow wreaths.
Be well. Merry Christmas.
Fabulous stitchytube episode- thank you! I cant wait for the one about buying antique samplers.
Merry Christmas to you x
Was so happy to see you put up a new video. My favorite Christmas cookie is Mexican Wedding Cookie (aka snowballs, Russian Tea Cakes...). I also like a good Biscoti with a cup if tea. Have a wonderful and restful Christmas!
Baaa, from the thousands of ewes (here in New Zealand) lol .. What an amazing shop & the owner seems so lovely, thank-you for the tour .. I bet one could go in every day of the week and still find things they had missed seeing before! My favourite treat at Christmas would have to be gingerbread cookies and ambrosia salad like my mum used to make .. Though I watched her make it every year I have spent the last 20 trying to recreate it to taste exactly like hers did and last year was the closest by far - even though I know I added things she certainly didn't, like chopped up snickers bars :p
I am with you, my favorite Christmas treat is the Peanut Blossoms!! I love them! I also love Kolachis!!
You are so pleasant to listen too!! I enjoy your sense of humor!! It’s priceless!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you and your loving family!
I don’t comment often but I wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoy watching you. You are truly an inspiration and so positive. Thank you for reminding us all to be thankful for the little things. I’d love for LOTF to one day be available for all of us to stitch her. Limited editions are a struggle to support because maybe someone doesn’t have the money at the time to claim one or later they decide they’ve fallen in love with the chart & can no longer get it without paying 100s of dollars for one.
Wonderful to see you again. 😊 I would say Ginger Snaps are my favorite because after all the sweet stuff they are just kind of a palate cleanser. Only way I can think to describe it. Going to try Gingerbread biscotti this year as something new.
We have the crescent cookies also which is my favourite. My aunt makes them from a German recipe but they are with crushed almonds and have sugar sprinkled on top. Merry Christmas.
Favorite Christmas cookie is pecan balls, which I think are the same as Russian tea cakes, just a less glamorous name. One of the few cookies that my mom made and a favorite of my son's, so special memories. Hope your New Year is off to a good start.
My favorite Christmas cookie is Raspberry Thumbprints 😍 I enjoyed your year of What I'm All Into. Thank you for your StitchyTubes!
So traditional but I only have them at Christmas, favourite is the infamous Shortbread cookie.
So nice to see you again. Missed you. Best Christmas treat I make is Angel Food Candy.
I must admit I love a good Yule log and I love mince pies at Christmas. Your video of the Silver needle was so cool. I’d love to visit it one of these days. Hope you had a great Christmas and Happy New Year. I love watching your videos I always learn something new😊
My favorite treat for Christmas is
La bûche de Noël. It is the Yule log .
A chocolate cake with chocolate whipped cream infuse in Tia Maria.
It’s a French Canadian tradition
My favorite Christmas cookie is Spritz. I prefer them undecorated because I love the flavor. Thanks for the Silver Needle tour. I hope to go there someday. I attended the Houston Quilt Festival in November, and out of the 1000+ booths that were there, I made a beeline to their booth first of all.
Thumbprint cookies!
Loved the ending of your video, you voiced our everyday blessings so well. I too like to think back and be thankful for just the every day, nothing special kind of days.
My absolute favorite cookie is one my Grandmother would make. It was a sugar cookie cut into a circle with a biscuit cutter and a raisin mix was put on half folded over and sealed with the tines of a fork, a sprinkle of sugar on top before baking. YUM Grandmas’s raisin filled cookies. 😋❤️
Theresa, your videos are the best-I enjoy everyone. This one was particularly interesting and fun. I love the part about the mummy unwrapping and throwing the turkey in the garbage. I laughed so hard with that one! I don't usually make cookies at Christmas, but one of my favorite treats that I make are caramel and chocolate dipped granny smith apples with chopped pecans. I'm drooling now just thinking about them! I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Pam Miller
