It's great to see you more often. Your older videos were so helpful to me when I began to cross stitch and I have continued to enjoy seeing all you manage to do. Have FUN!

What a joy to see you so happy and enjoying retirement!! As I was watching and stitching the Crosseyed Cricket Summer…I saw it behind you and got so excited! Your books are so amazing and I love so many of your choices! I’ve got many of the house charts, but only am almost finished with the Santa one and a little on the beautiful barn! Soo look forward to seeing you more often! Hope you have a fabulous summer!!💕

So glad you are enjoying your retirement! It's really fun watching your stitching progress quicker now. Kingdom of books is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to see it complete at the end of the year. I went to check out the halloween stitch along and their website was down so I'll check again tomorrow. I love good halloween stitching any time of year! It was funny that you mentioned.You're stitching wall behind you as I was going to leave a comment and ask if you could go over what is hanging there as I really enjoyed the last one you did and got some great pattern inspiration.

Your WIPs are amazing! Every time I watch, I see something else I want to add to my collection. I've been wanting to get the Fabulous Houses collection for awhile. Maybe I'll start collecting them. I can't wait until the Olympics. I will also be starting Les Olympiades des Gnomes. I like the idea of stitching the medals won. My time is limited though so maybe I'll combine it with my Olympic SAL and do stitches per medal instead of minutes. Can't wait to hear what your Olympic plans are.

Thank you for your video. Your Kingdom of books is looking so good! I can see the end! I really like that Letistitch piece. I had a comedy of errors getting my Jardin Prive piece. I didn't know if the place I bought it from ships by Post Office, or UPS. I didn't want UPS to leave it at my front door if that was the shipper, so I had it sent to my work. Found out later it was shipped by the Post office, but they tried when we were closed. It went back to a different facility and just sat there. The tracking kept saying for a week that it was at the facility, but it wasn't moving. A week later I got a notice that they were returning it because the address didn't exist. Shipper made a mistake on the address, they reversed the numbers. About 2 hours later our awesome mailman walked in with it. He knew I was expecting a package and grabbed it. Somehow it went to the right facility finally, but their tracking said it was returned to the shipper. Anyway, I am alll kitted up and ready to go! Take care and happy stitching!

Just wanted to let you know that you are a bad influence 🤣 Because of some of the great videos you’ve shared I decided that I needed to make the leap and try scroll frames - I went with Artisan as you recommended and because I absolutely love the Elan stand I’ve had for 3-4 years. Now I am debating the floor stand based on your review and also because they are semi-retiring and won’t be offering floor stands after this month. I’ve never really even wanted a floor stand but “what if?!?” Lol! Also considering ordering some spare parts and probably more frames (once I see if I even like the deluxe set and extra side bars I just bought…) because once they fully retire I worry I will need something. Thanks for the help! Sweet Summertime looks great, I’m going to be popping mine in a frame this week, along with some cute finishing pieces from Paisley & Polka Dots, and finally start on Watermelon Crawl - the backstitches on SS really do make the piece! Happy Stitching 😊
