    I know how you feel with the fatigue!! It has kicked my butt for the past few weeks and stitching has been minimal. Well done you though for pushing through it. I love your fairytale collage progress, so cute. It's great that your game is still working for you and helps you stitch. The pumpkin patch pals are really cute too and I can't wait to see it progress more. Have a fantastic vacation!! Happy stitching xx

    Hi Janneke. I'm so glad you posted a video, it was just the distraction I needed and I always love watching your progress. Great to see the game is working so well for you. I'm looking forward to seeing your six characters get underway when you finish that border. New starts YAY 🎉. You've made some awesome progress on your pieces, but as always my favourite is Mickey as artist. I'm going to try and do some on mine tomorrow, it's just been a really crappy couple of weeks. I love the format you use for your videos now. Have you had your haircut?? Happy stitching xx

      Thank you so much! I've had some crappiy weeks myself, so this comment cheered me up a ton! I'm glad my videos are helping you 💕 Hopefully things turn around for you soon and will go better! I'm excited about six too! I've definitely stalled on it these last two weeks, but still planning on getting that border finished this year. I'm excited to hear you'll be working on the disney piece again! I'm very behind on watching flosstube, so haven't seen your latest videos yet, but always love seeing your progress on that one! It's so much fun to work on the same piece as you! 🥰

    Pfft, ik ben een swywwyw stitcher (af en toe een sal) dus van mij heb je geen advies te verwachten. Kun je het niet eerst proberen met je huidige wips, aangevuld met een paar nieuwe starts, alleen om te bekijken of zo'n spel je überhaupt wel bevalt? Ik weet niet hoeveel borduurtijd je dagelijks hebt maar als je dit naast je 50 kruisjes op six moet doen, ben je mss al door je borduurtijd heen, dus stel de doelen niet te groot. Maar leg dit allemaal rustig naast je neer en doe gewoon lekker wat je zelf wilt 😅 Succes met het uitwerken van je plannen! Groetjes, Evelien

    If you want to play clue , check out the crow stitcher . I am restarting clue too. I love my temperature daily, even I change now to Jenn’s version. I also do a memory game where other stitchers play along: I took 9 cards , each card is 1 wip. First time that card is up: we do 100xx and when the second card is there, we do 200xx. Than you have the choice to keep the wip or switch them out. I have another game that I didn’t tell about: mystical beasts. You have to collect cards of 4 categories: level, color, location and size. And with the cards you collect until you have a combination so you know which magical creature was disappeared. Thank you for the shout out.

    Lovely video, as always! 🥰 For the issue with the beading for the Bella Fillipina mermaids, could you get a scroll frame? I have seen people do beading on scroll frames, and especially if you put a bit of felt fabric or something over the area with beading, then you can scroll and it won't crush the beads - I think it was Maria the Green Stitcher that showed that So cool to see the progress you're making on Six, that idea of stitching a bit everyday is really working! I feel you on the Make it Pink patterns, the big blocks of the same colour can be such a slog - but worth it in the end, I'm sure! 🥰 You got so much stitching done!

    I'm gutted you lost some clips. I love seeing your video's. I also love seeing the before and after backstitch, the difference is always amazing. You're doing so well on the border of 6. All that black, I can see why you're doing 50 stitches a day just to get it done. Fabulous progress Janneke. Happy stitching xx

    Lovely to see you again and glad to hear you are feeling a bit better! And thanks for the lovely shoutout, I feel so honoured 🥰 I loved this vlog style video, I've been quite enjoying the way crafty gaming Jamie does it and I've been thinking about dabbling in it myself, as I'm struggling a bit with managing to get out a video every month that is just the long one filmed in one go. It's a lot of effort to get everything out that I'm working on and it's harder to work that around with the kids around. So who knows, I may give it a try at some point 😋 Such good progress on your Six project - I know that Stitching Moon has done something similar, where there's a project that she's struggling to find the motivation to do and she decided to do 1 thread a day a few months ago and it's really coming along now! You can definitely see the difference it's making! LOVED seeing Aurora, she's so pretty! Makes me so excited to work on her, so mine can someday be as beautiful as yours! I also always love seeing your SodaStitch pattern, such a beauty, and I totally agree that the backstitch really makes it

      Ahh, thank you so much! I really appreciate your long lovely comment so much! I have found the vlog style videos easier to film too. It really does help that you don't have to pull out everything and set everything up. I'm also terrible at remembering to actually mention the stuff I'd wanted to when filming one long video, so with the vlog style I can just film a clip whenever I have something to say. And yay! Always happy to motivate you on your Aurora piece. Seeing you so excited about it this past year definitely helped motivate me to finish mine, so thank you! Hope you're doing well! 💕

My stitchy bug hasn't been the best lately, but I seem to be getting it back now! Hopefully I'll film the next video in a week or so. I really want to get the dimensions finished before I film though and couching is taking a while! I wuite enjoy backstitching, but have found out I absolutely do not enjoy couching. The effect looks great though, so I'll power through it 😆 Also, it's great to hear my mickey piece motivates yours, because the opposite is also true!
