    The Taco is my favorite. Your son will have an amazing time, what a great opportunity for him. Try not to worry. I love the bird segment at the end. I knew all of the birds you showed today. Your stitchy bug is back!

    I loved the stitching but I really really loved to see the snow falling! Gosh it's sooo pretty☃️ so backyard weather reports are my favourite! Plus the birds at the end too - I've never seen any of those birds and I love learning about them.

      Thanks Laura! I'm glad you enjoyed the snow! It is quite peaceful, but I'm ready for summer now! Thanks for spending some time with me and my yard and my birds 💕 Happy Stitching!

    Hi Christine, I'm so happy that your Stitchy bug is back. I love all of your Mill Hills and want to stitch them all. I've never stitched one but have watched all of your videos and know that you love them. Congratulations on winning your beautiful medal 🏅 and coming in 2nd place on your Fitbit challenges. You inspired me to put on my Fitbit and go for a walk today. I'm on vacation until August so i have no excuse to get active. 🚶‍♀️

    Watching you from Spain Europe. I really enjoyed your last part about birds. I have never paid very much attention to them but I kind appreciate them more lately. Blue Jays are only endemic of northern América. Your pictures of birds are great.

      Thank you for stopping by, and thank you for letting me know that Blue Jays are endemic in Northern America! I keep forgetting to look it up 😊 It strange how birds can be one of those things we see everyday, but it's not until you really start looking at them that their beauty is revealed!

      I figured I would either inspire or annoy people with all my walking.... 🤣 I've always been a walker, but it has become a bit if an obsession lately. I'll be walking and stitching my stress away while my son is away, for sure 😬

    I liked to see your bird 🐦 cards. Over here in the Netherlands, we do not have blue jays, just regular jays. They also have those bright blue wings, but the body has lighter and darker browns. Because of that colour combination, they are considered to be a link between heaven and earth.

    OMG! The snow! So sorry to see what happened to your trees! My sister is taking a vacation with her family in Utah this week and also experienced snow…and did not pack for that weather! Very unusual! It looks like your lilac may bounce back…..I hope so, anyway. Thanks for the bird flash card lessons. I got an offer from Cornell Ornithology Lab for some courses online that I may be able to get for free with the discount credit they sent. One course helps you learn the birds by their calls and sounds. Another one is gardening for birds which covers two interest in one course! Good job on getting your walking medal. That is gorgeous!

    • @calico_whimsy
      @calico_whimsy  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, that late snow was crazy. Those courses sound like a lot of fun!! Learning bird calls is very helpful. On my walks, I will often hear an unfamiliar bird before I see it. So fun. I downloaded an app to help with bird call ID. Enjoy your classes if you decide to take them!

    I always love catching up with you! Cheering you on with your Eagle. I think it will be a great task to keep your mind clear of worry. Your son is going to have a fantastic time, but what a trip for a first flight. I flew from NYC to Paris and thought that was long. It was definitely a good chance for some stitching!

    Keep the Mill Hills and bird cards coming! But fair warning, when I buy my first food-related Mil Hill I'm blaming you! I am already justifying those on a "kitchen" tree. Glad you are enjoying the stitching. The Eagles will be a wonderful focus piece for this month. And I'm sure your son will have a great adventure studying abroad. He'll be fine. Enjoy the month ahead and your next walking adventure, That medal is impressive!

    Hi Christine loved your video. I have stitched the Love Stitching ornament and it is hanging in my craft room. I have also stitched the music and gardening one. Your Mill Hill haul was great to see and I now really want to do the bee Buttons and Beads kit! I enjoy your bird section. I am a very keen garden bird watcher. I tried to see if they do a UK version of those flash cards but I couldn’t find any. I get very jealous of the beautiful birds you have in the US. I would kill to see a hummingbird. We don’t have blue jays but we have blue tits which are tiny and can sometimes be seen on my front garden bird feeder. I only learned recently that European robins and American robins aren’t even from the same species. European robins are my favourite bird and I have quite a few that visit my garden. Robins have the same symbolism as cardinals do for you. The saying is that when a Robin appears a loved one is near. I like to think my grandparents are checking on me! Thank you for your Vlog and I look forward to your next one. 💜

      Hi Kerry! Thanks for spending some time with me! I'm surprised they don't make A UK version of the cards. I would buy them just so I could enjoy the beautiful artwork 😊
      That is a sweet story about your Robins and their symbolism. I'm 💯 sure your grandparents are visiting you 💕💕. Maybe someday you will have the opportunity to see a real hummingbird 😊 Oh and the Bee is really stitching up nicely, I highly recommend 😊
