Personally, as a vegetarian, I love the praying mantis but I’d swap the ‘beheaded prey’ for a cute flower! Job done 🌼

It's never too late for either birthday wishes or finding my vids. 😊 Welcome to the club, and yeah I think I'm way past due for another flosstube. Fingers crossed I can get my act together!

see you soon@@RyRyMcGuy

Yeah that was a bit too much for me. I did stitch on 56-count over 2 and it wasn't as bad as I thought. I certainly couldn't do it every day, though.

Oh man, i'm so tickled you wrote back to me. Love your channel. Hope to see you more often. BTW, I got the Colors of Water chart. Thanks for turn us on to it. @@RyRyMcGuy

Well hello! I hope you enjoy stitching that chart as much as I do. Every time I pick it up, I find myself asking "Why did I even put this down?" 😁 And I think I'll have to do a stitch-with-me video since I'm so behind in my stitching!

Oooo fascinating! In Canada, Jell-O made a kit that came with a powder that you mix with milk and the crumb base that you mix with melted butter. Thinking about it now makes me want one! haha!

Thank you for the suggestion! They're always welcome. This stitching community is so awesome and open to help. 🙏

Aw shucks, thanks! Sorry to hear about the frogging, but I'm happy I can provide a diversion. Hoepfully, I'll have more in the coming year.

Hi Mary Suzanne from BC! I am very long overdue at making a new video and hope to do so very soon. Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you! I can't believe the next Stitch North Retreat is only a few months away. I guess I better film a few more videos before then.😅

I guess I better film some new content, so you'll have something more to watch. ;) And I'm still using the fabric storing system so I'd say it's been a success, at least for me. Happy stitching!

That's so kind of you to say! Thank you, and thank you for watching. :)

Yay for new discoveries and yay for WIP Parades! Welcome to my little corner of TH-cam and I'm glad you found something to enjoy here. Hope to see you around later (when I get busy and film a new one!).

Fantastic! Are you doing 11.3 or Soie d'Alger?

@@RyRyMcGuy well - LOL - I completely goofed here. I ordered the HATS chart/booklet, but not the silks yet. Which are you using for yours? But I also ordered The Colour of Water AND the silks for that. I ordered the Soie d’Alger for that chart.

@@KT-sq2ml I had a few of the called-for in 100.3 for the HATS but I was stitching on 40-count but switched to Soie d'Alger for a heavier coverage. That's also what I'm using for Colours of Water and I'm loving it!

Welcome, Sandy! I'm so glad you're enjoying them. 😊

Well hello, fellow Canadian! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It really is a fantastic retreat and I highly recommend it to anyone.

Little treat? ooooooo! And yeah, I can't wait to put those scissors into rotation. 🥰

Yay for squirrels! And yay for your friend, the wildlife rehabber! That's awesome. You're fortunate that there's no shortage of squirrel designs in the world of cross stitch. The Blue Flower ones are particularly sweet. And one of my stitchy besties knit me a squirrel for my birthday! I show it off at the end of the latest Stitch North retreat video and on my IG account. 😊

Oh, you know I absolutely will! Can't wait to start! 🥰

I think so too!

Thanks for watching, Roberta, and welcome aboard! I'm glad you enjoyed my retreat video and hope to see you in person at a future one!

That's an excellent question, but you may not like my answer. If I had a next-time-around, I would buy only for specific projects. It's often Murphy's Law that one won't have the perfect linen for a project and so one still ends up having to buy more linen. I do buy the smaller sizes because it's not a big investment and it gives me a better idea of the colour so I can keep it in mind for a larger project. I also do a lot of smaller projects so they'll eventually get used. But yeah, going forward, I only buy when I'm kitting up a project. Best of luck to you!

@@RyRyMcGuy thank you for sharing your expertise and that’s usually what I do is just buy when I have a project in mind. Living in Ontario, I had many shops to choose from and could do that. Now in Nova Scotia, I don’t have that luxury of going to a great shop with beautiful dye fabrics. I have to buy online and pay for shipping so I was trying to think of an easier way and less costly. Thank you 😊

My pleasure, Meline! I'm so glad you enjoyed them. 😊

Welcome aboard, Donna! Thanks for finding me. 😊 Regarding the use of counting pins, it seems many would like to know. So for my next flosstube video, I'm filming a "how-to" segment on the 10 ways I use them. I hope to have it posted next week.

My pleasure! And that tin with the pop lid really is a hit. The click and snap is so addictive. 😁

And thank you for watching, Katherine! Much appreciated. Regarding Fanny Bramley, I'm using the called-for soie d'alger and I'm very happy with the coverage. I'm also pleased with how the heart turned out on the Red Cedar linen. It's such a pretty colour. Happy stitching to you, too!

My pleasure, Sally! I'm happy you enjoyed it.

That was a little bit of fun, no? I'm so glad you enjoyed it. 😊

Isn’t it the sweetest?! Definitely one of the most unique gifts I’ve received. She’s so talented.

Thank you so much, Margaret! And yes…can’t wait to start on September’s Revenge. Not sure if I can wait until September. 🤣

I'm so glad you enjoyed the treats! The blue is indeed very intense. For comparison, the closest would be if DMC made a colour between 797 and 798 and then boosted the saturation. And the center-push box is indeed a novelty. It has such a satisfying click when it opens and closes that it would be perfect as a fidget toy. 😁

Awww thanks, Sandra! I have no experience filming an unboxing, nor do I watch them regularly, so I was totally flying by the seat if my pants. I’m glad I was able to do the experience justice. ☺️

Thanks, Mary! In a way, I’m glad I waited instead of opening it at Christmas. Then the little treasures get the full attention they deserve. ☺️

That’s an excellent idea! Alexander is a great name.

Ness! You always say the nicest, kindest things! I’m so happy you enjoyed it. 🙏🏻

Aren’t they, though! Have you ever been to their shop? It’s rather special.

@@RyRyMcGuy No, I wish...someday perhaps. After I win the lottery ;-), I'll be traveling the world first class, visiting all the needlework related dream spots and going to all the amazing retreats

Thanks, Marylee! And yes, the snap on that container is incredibly assertive and satisfying. 😁

Thanks, Janiece! And yeah, 21 was a sneaky little fella. Cheers!

Hi Carol! Welcome back to stitching, and welcome to the channel! I'll bet the craft has changed a lot since you last dabbled in it. It's a whole new world out there and I hope you're having a great time exploring!

My pleasure, Bunny. I wasn't sure about this one but I'm glad people have been enjoying it. 🥰

Hi Marilyn! Yes, those little pins really are irresistible! Can't wait to see what use I can put them to. 😊

My pleasure! Do you have a fave?

@@RyRyMcGuy haha nice try. 🙂❤️

Hey your loss.

Could you just imagine?! That would be quite the career change. Guess I should start investing in some manicures now. Hehe. Thanks for toe vote of confidence.

Thank you so much, Sarah! This has been a great exercise in stepping outside of my comfort zone, so I'm glad it doesn't show. Happy stitching and see you in the next one!
