Hi Dena, well I was just blown away by all your beautiful stitching in this video which I thoroughly enjoyed. Such wonderful finishes, congratulations. And what a lovely surprise guest visitor, it was nice to see Donna! I love how much fun you and Cocoa were having whilst Tommy was away but I bet it was wonderful to have him back home again. Happy stitching, Dena, Teresa 🪡🧵♥

Teresa, you are so kind regarding the contents of my video. You were right, Cocoa and I had a great time being just the girls, but we were both ready to see Tommy when he arrived home! Cocoa wouldn't stop spinning for several minutes. LOL. Yesterday she got to go to Fred's as I am heading out for a girls' weekend this morning and my hubby wants to go test out a new tent while I am gone. When we asked Cocoa if she wanted to go to Fred's she was so excited she was talking! LOL. Have a wonderful weekend yourself. Happy Stitching. Dena

Dena, everything you showed was beautiful! I love your approach to stitching, and how you work until you complete your projects. You motivate me to focus and work on what I have started already. Royal Games is a stunner! It was fun to see your friend Donna. You girls sure have fun together! Hope your husband had a fun time racing and that Cocoa was happy to seeing him home again. She’s adorable! My heart fluttered when I heard you are originally from Macon. The very first time we took our kids to Florida we stopped in Macon for the night and the kids swam and had a nice time, anticipating seeing the ocean for the first time. Thanks for sharing a little bit of your life and your beautiful projects with us. It’s always fun!

Christiane, thank you for the kind feedback about staying focused and finishing projects. I am a project stitcher as I have said before and I do want to finish what I start because I want it in my home. However, I do love variety so I do work on multiple projects every week to keep my interest up. SO happy to. hear you had a good experience when you stopped in Macon on your way to the beach. It has changed a lot since I grew up there, but I have wonderful memories of my childhood there. Cocoa was very happy to see her Daddy for sure! She spun and spun and spun in delight! Always tickles us to see that. Melts my heart. Dena

Royal games is absolutely stunning!! I really loved the quilt that you did a lot of stitching on, and I’m sure I’m forgetting more that I wanted to comment on.

Your Royal Games is gorgeous!! All that beadwork is amazing. I can’t believe your fingers didn’t fall off after stitching over 1,000 stitches in one day. You are such an inspiration to me with your love of crossstitch and your dedication to the art. I enjoyed seeing Donna again, but I was a little disappointed That she didn’t show her whole design. Maybe you could encourage her to visit again and play show and tell for us. Loved seeing Cocoa playing tug. You’re a good mommy, Dena. Happy stitching to you!

Oh how sweet! I am thinking this grooming session went much better for Cocoa. Hope Hunny is pushing 100% in his health again and I sure do hope he had a good run. Deena, I’ve said it before but I do enjoy your vlogs and seeing your progress. I am now over a year not stitching but Jack is starting to show improvement in his health and I really feel I will once again be able to pick up a project again. So watching you share your stitching is a big help for me to keep my toe in the stitching world. Having so much illness in the house is so much stress for both Jack and I and I’m not good about frogging so I wait. I just didn’t know this would come on the heels of my painting dry spell. Life has a way of taking us over but I know that God will get both of us back on track if only we trust. So share…your stitching, your sweet sweet pup and all the stories fit to print!!!:):):)

Vicki, my hubby is not 100% yet, he is very tired. He did well in his race, taking third in his age group (not bad for someone with Strep Throat). Anyway I think he should go back to the doctor, but he says it will just take a few days to run its course and he will finish his antibiotic in the meantime. I am so sorry that you have been having so much illness in your household and pray that good health is on its way back to you both. Dena

Thank you for the close ups on Royal Games. Your beading is exquisite and I was able to appreciate it better with the close ups. I love the frame you picked out for Halloween Quaker. You said vertebrae, but I was seeing gnarly tree limbs which is also a Halloween -y thing. Lovely lovely stitching ! You are cooking with gas! (which is a saying that shows my age 👵)

Hi Dena! I started watching you when I came back to cross stitch in late 2018 & discovered Flosstube. My niche for stitching ended up being full coverage, so I eventually gravitated towards videos that featured that. Then last fall I started adding some smaller & non-full coverage pieces into my stitching. So in October I started watching your channel from the beginning! And here I am, 5 1/2 months later, totally caught up in ALL your videos. What am I going to do now without my daily fix of Miss Dena & Cocoa? 😅 I feel lost!! Thank you for all those videos & I’m looking forward to many more in the future. ❤ Kim from Canada 🇨🇦

First of all I want to tell you how much I absolutely LOVED you JOY Raggedy Ann that you made. I just may be my favorite of all time. Next, I was hoping you were going to say you were having a give away for Miss Christmas Eve. I was telling you youngest daughter, just yesterday, about that pattern. I may make it for her or, maybe Queen of Hearts, I love them both. She is 24 and getting ready to do her very first counted cross stitch piece! I'm very excited about that. I also have been wondering about JT. You haven't mentioned him in a long time and was afraid it was him that was sick when you mentioned your friends stroke. Glad she is doing so well. I have used your system of sectioning off a project into smaller bites. I just did that with Touching the Autumn Sky and now I can't put it down. It will be done way before my plans! I too would love to adopt Donna's Needle and Pins sampler. I also love samplers. Hope JT is doing well and I wish I had days to myself to stitch as long as I want.

@halfstitchcrossstitch2456
@halfstitchcrossstitch2456 6 ай бұрын
Linda, the usual standard is one X is one stitch. So if you cross your X that is one stitch. A half stitch is only a half a cross so it is counted as 1/2 stitch. A backstitch is the same as one leg of a cross so it is a 1/2 stitch, so it takes 2 back stitches to make one stitch when counting. I hope this helps: 1 full cross (X) = 1 stitch 2 half stitches (/) = 1 stitch 2 backstitches(_) = 1 stitch Dena
