Happy birthday!!
Thank you for your video off your cabin you go to. It looks lovely up there
I love seeing the furbabys ❤ and your view is wonderful. Happy Belated Birthday and Happy Stitching!
Thank you! Nursing the dog on my lap (firework noises outside) right now and making up songs. She’s getting quite the massage to get her to relax 😂
@@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher maybe kitty could help by doing biscuits 😬
Happy Belated Birthday ❤. The free patterns were a great find. 😊
@@marilynr2738 Thank you! I was 😳 shocked! Such a great store. I don’t do anything with yarn but they have great little felt kits.
Oh the ornament came out so cute. I keep looking at Summer Quaker . I keep getting tempted everytime I see it. I just might have to finagle a way to get it and start it with you. Cardinal Point will be so pretty when it is done. Stuart is getting so big. The kitten year is always so fun to watch them explore and grow. It is nice that your dog is a patient personality with him.
Thank you 😊As I’m typing Abby our dog is sleeping in. Being a big sister is exhausting 😂
Girl you keep on buying we won't be able to see you. lol I can't talk my Nook is a mess right now. Summer in my Nook is so hot with on air conditioner. What you call a camp is what I call a lovely house. I live in an A-Frame house. Next to no walls to hang frames on. I saw a Juki sewing machine in the back ground. I have one and I call it my 'Baby'. That is how well it runs.
I just put it on the table!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Hope to get over my fear of it next😂. Camp is mostly an unfinished space but I have dreams of a small retreat up there someday ❤
Just found you!! What a great time watching you and your stitching!!
Thank you!❤😊
Happy belated birthday! July birthday folks can easily get away with Christmas in July...just saying...😎 The nature charts are gorgeous!
The seam ripper top is so helpful to run over where you took out the stitches. You'd be surprised how much thread residue is left. Love mine
I’ve always used a piece of tape. So glad folks have told me what this tip was. I thought it could be a stress gummy😂
A belated Happy Birthday Sarah! Watching this newest video was one of the most exciting things that has happened to me lately. It was when you were showing the pamphlet of the Prairie Schooler Acorns. My eyes zeroed in on the price sticker on the pamphlet. It was from Wisconsin Craft Market! I was a manager of one of those stores for 25 years. My store was in Appleton, Wisconsin. We also had two stores in Madison, Wisconsin and one in Milwaukee. Now I am not sure this pamphlet was from my store but it was so much fun to see the old sticker again. I messaged ladies who used to work for me along with a picture I captured from the tv and they were excited too. It brought back lots of great memories of the store. Thank you for your great videos.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😎That’s so amazing!!! I but a lot on EBay or Stash Unloads on FB. No telling when or where I got this (I’ve had it a loooong time) but I can say I haven’t been out that way shopping at LNS. That’s great to hear😊❤
Happy Belated Birthday the fox are so cute!
@@Lynnevixxen Thank youuuuuu❤️
Happy Belated Birthday 🎉
@@tracyshrode9047 Thanks bunches 🤗
Wow! Such a pretty view from your porch. I would be out there all the time.
@@SoggyDoggyStitcher Thank you but it all depends on the mozzies 😕
Awwwwwwwwwwe, another great video ❤ I lovvve the diamond work!! Happy belated Birthday!! 🎉🎁🎈
@@user-yn7jp5ux9l thank youuuuuu😘
I agree - Return of the Whales was a really fun stitch! I turned mine into a drum and gifted it to a friend who loves whales. I'm looking forward to seeing your pillow finish in the future.
The recent Craftways books have had some great designs in them. I just really wish it was easier to get them without getting on the list to have it sent to you every year. (Then again, I really have no business adding to my chart collection, so maybe it's not a horrible thing lol)
Trapper Keepers were the cream of the crop when I was in high school! I didn't know they had re-made them! That brings back such memories! 🪡👠
@@stitchinginhighheels9529 Traper Keepers meant status back in the day😂Love the drum idea! I did manage to get the sewing machine out of the box!! Miracles!!!❤️
The grip end of the seam ripper is to brush away thread ends after ripping. Love your videos!
Thank you! Seems most folks know…I’m the last😂
Happy Belated Birthday, thank you for all the sharing of the book, all your finds, and current and previous finishes! Hope you get your sewing machine going, we have that phobia in common lol!!
@@loriirons9503 Thank you! It’s on a table!!!! It’s on a table!! I did it! Haven’t played with it yet but it’s outta the box🤓
Hi Sarah!!!! The seem ripper funny end is for after you frog….rub that on the spot and it removes the fuzzy remnants. The singer dress has a needle threader on it. Happy Birthday!
😂I should’ve asked. Thank heavens folks in the comments knew too. Are we making dates for October?! Need to firm up the calendar ❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Happy Belated Birthday! It sou d's like it was perfect.
@@LindaHankey Thank you🤗
Sorry about autocorrect... It should have said I hope it was perfect. Oh the joys of technology😂
Happiest belated birthday to you.
I have been out of town so just now catching up.🎉
Thank you 😊
Happy, happy belated birthday to you! my goodness you had me laughing out loud with your retro binder, Love it. When I clean my craft area, I cannot find a darn thing.
@@cherylschehr199 I had a good laugh when I opened it. Excited to have something from my childhood ❤️Thank youuuu
I had all the Lynn waters busa .When cross stitch died out ,I got rid them. That small blue chert is part of the large one ,I saw it !
@@peggykanz1473 head slap! Of course! Thank you for letting me know!😅
I really love the Cardinal Points Chart so I can not wait to see you work on that. It is a hard chart to find too. Amazon had it but now they do not. The foxes are so cute. We have the red fox in our neighborhood and they are so beautiful. Your cabin looks so relaxing. Happy Stitching.
Hope you can find it. I’m have one more color to collect and get it organized for the January start. Would love to have more folks stitching together ❤Got another video from yesterday of 4 of the foxes playing in the drive👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼I’ll post soon 😊
Happy belated Birthday, Sarah! I don’t think your crafting space is terrible at all. I find that when I clean my space I can’t find my stuff. Thanks for sharing the charts and the Christmas book, wonderful charts and tons of possibilities. Your finishes are beautiful. The silicone tip on the seam ripper in your little sewing tin is for removing the threads and the little purple Singer dress is a needle threader. (I’m sure by now you’ve figured it out.) Have a great day!
@@sandyevenson-hagen370 Thank you🤗I lost my QSnaps for MONTHS after a massive clean up so maybe that’s why I prefer chaos 😅
Such a fun video, Sarah! I love both your whale finish and the narwal piece, your stitching is beautiful. The Santa ornament is so cute!
You are quickly becoming my biggest enabler ~ I have the Prairie Schooler Acorns and Christmas Samplers in my 123 shopping cart and will be ordering them shortly! Thanks for showing your fox family and your own fur babies, so much fun to watch.
Happy belated birthday, your little stitchy case from Spools is adorable ~ something else I might have to try! Sounds like you got lots of fun goodies. Looking forward to your next video, take care!
@@lisamaestas6642 Thank you! Stitching in my acorns project today and even managed to finish O Christmas Tree so lots to show next video! Mowed the dog yard with n a light rain today and managed to trim the invaders growing through the fence. Felt productive but not enough time in the day to play. Never made it to the craft room. Glad you like the video! Happy stitching 😄
Happy belated birthday. Sounds like you had a great one! The finished tin is a fun idea. The end of the seam ripper is used to rub on the fabric to help remove the cut threads. Ask me how I know!! Loved seeing the fox videos, how cute! Your camp is beautiful. Thanks for another enjoyable video.
@@dianeperkins7229 Thank you! Had a video from yesterday with all 4 playing on the drive. More to come❤️Thank you for the info🤗
Happy birthday! Love your stitching and finishing. I love that Craftway Christmas book. I have to order it!
Just what I needed. More stitches😂❤
I know but there’s so many beautiful patterns in that book 😂
I just bought more items to store my stuff in. I try to tidy up my craft room one day a week (Saturdays), it has helped!!! Nice B-day start. The little tool with the hook I think is a needle threader. Glad your B-day was Fun!!! Great pics.
@@DeeAZstitcher Thank you! Wish I would devote a day😏to cleaning the craft room…meh
@@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher Maybe 2 hrs. one day a week. ;) the stuff you'll find :)
Happy Belated Birthday! Sounds like you got some great gifts! The little dress form is a small needle threader! I haven’t ever seen one made like that but have a couple that are oval shaped. It only threads one strand of floss but they are handy to have! You have some great finds from the Stitch Maine! Always enjoy your videos!
Thank you! Seems everyone knew but meeeeeee😂
I just finished "Forest Friends" by The Blue Flower. It had many motifs, flora and fauna from Oregon/WA. So it looks great in my living room! Have fun with yours....they do a nice pattern.
Very excited! Such great colors ❤
Happy Belated Birthday!! 39 looks good on you!! I drool over your craft space every video, as I'm in a bit of a shoebox...and a messy craft space is a sign of a creative mind! Besides, when I clean up to much, I can't find anything. We had 2 fox dens with 10 kits several years ago...so fun to watch them all play! Got some great photos. Your Plum Street finish is wonderful!! I'm a soggy noodle in this heat too... hate to wish summer away, but can't wait for fall. We don't have a dump store here in our town...bummer, but sounds like good trouble! Be well...
@@patriciacohn2366 😅Thank you! It’s so hot I don’t want to go to the dump 😕. I did go recently and found a few treasures to show 😏I too lose things when I clean. I lost my QSnaps for a few months! Maybe I can claim to my husband PTSD as an excuse not to clean - much🤷🏼♀️
Good morning! Happ Belated Birthday🎂! Love this video. May be someone has already pointed this out, but in the Sewing Room sampler in the upper left corner is the small quilt square you thought was not included in the pattern. I also am working on Happy Campers. It is such a fun stitch I am about halfway done. Working top left, across and down. Had to put it away for Christmas in July but beat your bottom dollar August 1 it will be back out. Your will love stitching this and the porcupine is really fun as are the other players in the campgrounds. I will send you an email with pictures of progress. Have a wonderful week!
@@margaretkrueger9664 Thank you! I can always ask and you guys see it🤗👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Please send pictures! It will motivate meeeeee❤️
Christmas and cats - unbreakable ornaments on bottom half and precious ones up top where they cannot reach. I would put it up and let kitty climb get out of the way. Good luck
Our previous kitties all were adopted as adults (had brains)except of coon kitty (Ellie)we recently lost. Ellie had a disaster her 3rd Christmas. Tree on the floor, 3 glass ornaments shattered. Hubby was quite upset but when I asked Ellie about it she said the tree fainted.😂. We tied it to the wall after that.
You have a great husband, sounds like discipline to a child, giggles, nice birthday gift. We have security camaras and love seeing the wildlife, it will look good as a pillow.
Congratulations on the finish, the older Prairie Schooler designs are so back in style.
Your babies are so adorable and play well together.
Thank you! My husband is my best friend❤We can’t seem to fight but we spar wits well😂
The little square design near the bottom of the sawing chart is a part of the larger design with the sewing machine.
@@janmiechiels6926 Ah HA! 👍🏼
Camp looks beautiful. My niece is building a house in Machias. She lives in Bridgton. Love Maine! The rubber tip on the ripper is to rub out the thread "slubs" left behind after ripping out. I think the hook thingy is to pull through a snag, but not sure.
@@SessionMom Thank you!! I was wondering what that was!! If ever up in our area, we gotta stitch!!
@@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher Aww, wouldn't that be nice! Just watching you makes me feel like you are a friend.
Not sure if anyone answered this, but the rubber end on the seam ripper is to loosen/dislodge the little bits of thread that can be left behind when frogging. The Singer dress tool is a needle threader.
@@sharonnormandeau6818 Yes thank you 😊 I was the last to know😅
Happy birthday! Thank you for sharing all your goodies Happy Stitching 😊
@@estherovalle7909 Thank youuuuuu🤗
I love how you finished Santa with presents.
Thank you! So happy with this little stitch ❤
Happy belated birthday!! This is such a joy filled video! We are such kindred spirits!! I live vicariously through you. Struggle with the same issues you do!! Over buying, over wanting, disorganization.
Love your hubbies sense of humor!! Tell him just go to your room until you can play nice!! But love that you are attacking your room. You know it will only lead to more efficiency. Win win. I, with my daughter, did half my sewing room a couple of months ago. Time to finish. Made such a huge difference!!
So glad you share your goodies! And I’m soooo jealous of your dump. Gotta talk to our garbage people about setting up something like this! 👍
Take care until next video!! Chai!!
@@connieverbeck1110 Oh we would be great neighbors! 😂You get me! We could both be sent to our rooms and imagine the trouble we could get into👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Trying to get some stitches in today. It’s hot and gross out so a good excuse to stay in❤️
Glad to hear you had a happy birthday! Your stitching is beautiful and fun to see so thank you for sharing. Love your camp area. Maine is just so beautiful!
😊Thank you
So happy you had a good Birthday!🎉🎉🎉. Beautiful items found and beautiful stitching and finishing!
Thank youuuuu😊
I'm a very minimal person, probably extremely so to most people. That said, if you filmed yourself cleaning your craft room and touching all your stuff, I would absolutely watch it. If I were there in person, it might give me heart palpations. Happy birthday to you! Mine was last week, and I'm also 39 (in my heart) 😆. Happy stitching!!
Ooo! What a good idea!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I stitched that Woodland Wildlife Cardinal pattern many years ago, it’s beautiful.
@@lynnsteiner1580 I’m excited about that one and the fox in particular ❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Happy belated birthday Sarah
The Cristmas Book is amazing, I just have to have it. Everything today was amazing also. What a fun video, loved the story about Stuart and the toilet, so funny. Have a good week.
Hi Sandra! Thank you, happy stitching❤
Happy Happy Birthday !! Your cabin is beautiful. Really enjoyed the video today.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video ❤
It is now past 1 am and once again I caught your newly uploaded video just minutes after you uploaded it so of course I had to watch it. And take some notes. Just sent in a large order to a shop and now I will be sending another one to get the Cardinal Paint. At least you aren't starting it until January 2025 . I absolutely enjoy watching you and listening to your fabulous sense of humor.
@@user-zv9fy5yc7s 1am?! I would
love to be able to stay up and stitch late❤️Yay! You’re starting in January too! So excited about Cardinal Points! Such a beautiful stitch and when I saw the model I fell hard. So glad you like watching🤗
It’s now 1:30 am and just caught your video! I hate the HEAT too 🥵 and can’t wait for another very mild winter here in southern Ontario . Love the rooster project bag! The finished whale and fish piece is very nice! Needless to say, Stuart won’t be a cat that is toilette trained! 😅 ( I hear it can be done 🤔). I love Prairie School patterns too! The finished acorns will be adorable. I like the blue bunnies in your X-Mas book. Lots of nice patterns!😁 I got my wedding sampler finished yesterday so off to the framer this week!yah! well, should try to get some sleep. Have a great Stitchy week ahead! Cheers, 🧑🏻🦰🇨🇦👋
@@marilynmckenzie2111 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Sistah!! This weather is nasty uncomfortable. So exciting to get something framed🤗Hope to get more of my piles fully finished ❤️
HAPPY BIRTHDAY a li/le late.
😊Thank youuuu
The blue singer piece is a needle threader!
@@karenhildreth9835 It’s so dangerous looking 😳
Your husband is not wrong.
😂He LOVED this
🌼🌼🌼
❤❤❤

@@cyndeestipanovich8956 🤗❤️
Sarah can you show you you finish things on the metal can lids
I will but don’t have a little stitch right now😢
@@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher that’s fine I’m still collecting lids of different sizes
Do you really dumpster dive? Interesting!!
Olivia pumpkin hollow quilts is looking for a singer sewing machine motif for a sampler she is working on. Hoping you all could connect.
I messaged Olivia to watch #76 and check it out
Did she mention in her last video? I’ll have to go look
I hope Olivia checks out your video. Her video was a few months ago.
I tried the binders they didn't work for me, I use magazine holders and just put each designer in them.
@@melissatarrance3518 I have the magazine holders also. It’s a battle for sure!
🧁🧁🧁
@@jokelly1762 🤗
Where up north are you? I am in northern Wisconsin.
@@Lynnevixxen Maine😌
Is the blue thing in can a threader?
@@carolyndelong7558 It’s a seam ripper with a cap so you don’t catch it on anything with you travel. I’ve since been told the white silicone end is for brushing away any thread flubs from ripping out a thread.
@@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher the blue thing with the tip of wire
@@carolyndelong7558the purple thingy? It’s a needle threader
Do you really dumpster dive? Interesting!!
@@cindyhedeen3908 Dumpster diving is an Olympic sport! I’ve found quite a few extraordinary things! Including an old farmers basket. The paper file happened because we parked next to a dumpster in a parking lot. It was there as construction workers were emptying an old building. Hubby looked in and grabbed it!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
When I managed apartment buildings , I found the neatest things !
