🌻 thanks for another fun update! I love that little hedgehog kit. Though I agree their backstitching charting is intense. We almost need 2 charts, one for x's and one for backstitch! I'm also thinking about updating my lighting situation so looking forward to seeing what you do and what your thoughts are.

🌹happy stitching

🌷 Thanks for taking time to share your cross stitch.

🌻🌻🌻 so cool y’all meeting up ! Have fun ! Stitching looks great 😊

Bright Tech - I’ve had it for a few years. Matriculating arm - adjusts really well. Weighted bottom so it doesn’t fall over. It can also be shortened to use on a table. I have mine next to my recliner. Amzn.

🌷🙂

Really enjoying your flosstubes! Your enthusiasm for Mill Hill kits is infectious! The Deadly Aquarium is looking just stunning. We underwent a major kitchen renovation a few years ago so I can relate to the chaos! 🌷

🌺great flosstube!

🌷🌷🌷

Agree that we are not acclimated to the heat in the PNW, anything over 85 seems extreme…over 100 is insanity🥵 I have loved Mill Hill kits for years, just started stitching the ornaments a few years ago, love them! 🌺

Regarding the light. I just bought a Brightech magnifying floor lamp. It really works for me with the higher count fabrics. Of course I got it on Amazon.

🌹 I love all your Mill Hill ornaments. I've made a huge wishlist of them. Someday I'll start.

The stitching of the girl with the wreath of candles is probably St. Lucia. It's a Swedish holiday.

🌺 great video and absolutely love your shirt!

I would like very much to hear your opinions on lighting for stitching. I definitely will need better light and magnification. I also just bought a lowery stand and also have not set it up. I think I may need the long arm attachment. I have never done a Mill Hill ornament but I do have the Jim Shore 12 days of Christmas pattern.

Love seeing what your working on and a bit fascinated by that oval hoop! 🌷

🌼Love seeing the Yule Godess! I’m at the scary face stage. Also, your shirts make me laugh. There is one with a possem hissing and it says “first of all… I’m a delight” and I really want that one!😂.

LOL I just started this video as I’m getting off work and your shirt cuts off after discuss and it cracked me up. “Dislikes people but willing to discuss” 😂😂❤ ily sm and cannot wait to meet you in person. Agreed on the heat, NOT here for it. 😅

🪷 I’m very tempted to buy another Mill Hill kit. I’ve stitched 2 last year. There are so many cute ones to choose from

🌻

I have an Ott light with a magnifying glass on it and love it

🌺 oooh you started Halloween at HRH! Love it!

I’m enjoying your flosstubes. The deadly aquarium piece is turning out so beautiful. I’m getting curious to know what it will look like when completed. I love your little hedgehog. It is so cute and must have been some work to complete for sure. You are the Queen of Mill Hills! I just started stitching Santa’s Midnight Ride for Christmas in July today. It’s so funny because you are the second person to have talked about that one. It is so colourful so I couldn’t resist doing it even though I have too many wips right now. I just ordered the pdf for it and I’m stitching it on white Aida so it will be a little easier to stitch. Happy stitching to you.

Hi! Where do you live in WA? My daughter is at college in Bellingham. We are headed up there Thursday for a long weekend to see her. I love Portland and acorns and threads as well as Powell books.

Hey Rebecca~~ Incredibly fun video. Your kitchen reno sounds busy but interesting; hope all the dust settles soon and good luck with the house pixies as well--completely get that. Curious about the book set just over your left shoulder (???) Excellent work on the Deadly Aquarium piece. The effect is working; it's getting creepier/more interesting with each section released. Looking forward to your future Mill Hills as well. Take care~~🌼 From the Midwest, US.

🥀. Another great flosstube. Thank you. Love the Mill Hill hedgehog.🦔🥀

💐 really enjoy your videos and your special mill hill picks. See ya in the next one!

Yay you got the Lowery out! I use a free standing light with mine, because I don’t have any attachments for the Lowery. Your video made me realize that I forgot the back stitching on the ghost shark. 😅 I pulled out my first Mill Hill and sorted the threads. Maybe I’ll manage to get it stitched up this week. 🪻

🌻 Good luck with the kitchen remodel...post pics please! 🌻🌻🌻

Hope to see more! Loved your variety.

This is my first year doing Jolly July! Love your videos!! 🙃

Enjoyed your Mill Hill kit parade. I have yet to stitch one. Now I want to stock up on a few! Maybe I should think about Jolly July as well!?

Love your channel! I’m stitching a ton of holiday projects for jolly July.

Loving all your finishes that chicken is so cute

I so enjoyed your lovely projects. I especially loved the mill hill kits and I would love to see a tutorial on your finishing process.

I recently got my first piece of 46cnt fabric in a grab bag. At first I was like no way! But it is the perfect color for a large project that I am kitting up… so, now I’m thinking maybe! I haven’t stitched Christmas for Jolly July yet but it is fun to see the festive stitches when it is hot here!

Glad I found another person in Seattle! You mentioned looking for a framer. I know that the woman at Threadneedle Street in Issaquah has one she highly recommends. I also love her funky store. I call it Ollivanders, because her store is so packed full of goodies, you practically need a ladder to get to them. Hope to run into you in the store sometime!

Oh my, your fully finished ornaments are so cute! For jolly July I am stitching Welcome to the North Pole by Primrose Cottage Stitches. I'm really enjoying the bright colors. I am about 3/4 finished with Golden Delicious. I love stitching on it.

I look forward to jolly July every year. The toy store looks super cute. Loved all of your projects!

🐝 Great first video!!!

Just found you through my IG friends Calico Whimsy and Miss Tea and Stitches (both also on YT). LOVE your videos! It is like chatting with a friend while you stitch (and in my case sew as well). Your work is beautiful 😊. How awesome you keep bees and I highly recommend the chickens. Have had them for ten years now and they are so much fun even though they destroy my yard. The eggs and antics are worth it. 😄I enjoy the long videos and am looking forward to the next one.

Love your videos and your projects! Thanks so much for sharing! Have a jolly July!
