Your kindness is what keeps me glued to my IPad every video. You touched a cord on holidays and I lost my hubby of over 50 years around Christmas time a few years back and this particular holiday is hard but getting better. I find solace in the stitching community and the stitching and quilting projects give me something to look forward to. I don’t mean to be dramatic but it really does help, thank you for sharing your creativity and your cute little balls of fur, sure helps. 🥰🪡🧵🐾 I need to look into a great sampler to start one red thread a day starting January 1st. Again, something to look forward to…❤️
You are such a blessing Nicole! I love watching your videos, and yes I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of cross stitch and felt stitching! I completely relate to your comments, my children are grown, I’m divorced, and the holidays are not what I thought they would be, but I find joy and peace in my faith in Jesus and in my hobbies. Thank you for introducing all the stitching to me! Your sweet personality drew me in a year ago, through paper crafting, to get back to sewing and stitching
Love seeing your beautiful face each day during VLOGMAS! You are the one who brought me back to cross stitching and floss tube!!❤ I love this wonderful community!! Just want you to know how much joy you bring to my life through your crafting! 😊I am a multi crafter like yourself and I appreciate your videos and tutorials!! Thank you, Nichol, for sharing real life with all of us!! 😍
Nichol…you are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE flosstuber! I look forward to your videos all the time. I too am at that season in life where my kids are grown and learning from you has given me permission to craft things and empower myself to make things I want to make. Also to experiment with new ideas. Each season in life has its beauty and challenges. Your videos are such a bright spot in this crazy world. THANK YOU for being vulnerable and sharing your talents with us. I truly appreciate it and think you are super talented.
Loving your vlogmas but if you miss a day here and there no worries! Anytime we get to see you and have you inspire us makes our day! Love all your finishes and decor!
Loving the vlogmas, and enjoying spending a short time with you daily. My goal for 2025 is to do a cross stitch SAMPLER for the New Year!! I feel your sadness as I grow older. 😢when I became an empty nester- a little bit of the excitement left me and I get great joy now out of friends to share the joy of crafting like I do. I decorate for me, and love to share when I have the opportunity to. Bless you Nichol, I love sharing all you do- even a cup of coffee, and a brisk walk with your dogs with you!!❤❤❤❤
Nicole, you really helped me today. I have had so many tragedies in my life, and joy but it has been hard. My one son who was seriously injured does not like Christmas anymore and does not think Christmas is necessary, and ridiculous to decorate. Thank you so much for reminding me that it is ok to do it for yourself. I have always found decorating for Christmas so much fun. But in the last couple of years it has been a challenge. Thank you thank you for being there for us. You don’t have to do this, but you do. And it’s been a real joy!!
ThanksNichol for your words. Holidays are hard for many and life is always throwing something at us. Your flosstubes and vlogmas videos are definitely sending some light into our lives each day. I love seeing your stitching, decorating ideas and just visiting with you a bit. Thanks so much.
I love watching you every day, I watch quite a few people that craft and do videos, but you have always been my absolute favourite, and I really appreciate all the hard work you put in to bringing these videos for us, I struggle at this time of year as since Covid my daughter has mental health issues and has not left her house for nearly five years, so I havnt seen her in all that time, so it’s so hard to want to celebrate anything, and I haven’t put up any decorations in all that time until I watched this video, it’s given me the push I needed to put up my tree for me, and to tell myself it’s okay to enjoy it without her. Sorry this is so long, thank you nichol 💗
Your Vlogmas is being a great addition to my December ❤ the holidays tend to be a struggle for me and it is really nice to “hang out” with you a while each day 😊
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOUR VLOGMAS!!!! Thank you for sharing about the actual “holidays” being hard. I have this in my heart as well. I love the buildup, and the making of ALL THE THINGS, but the day/days are hard. Thanks for sharing your heart and all your wonderful things!!! So many things to make for next year!!!
I love that sampler and we’ll see If I have the luck on my side. You brought tears to my eyes when you were talking from your heart.. I could feel your emotions and want you to know we are all behind you and share similar experiences. You do bring loads of joy by all the wonderful things you create and share. The joy of the Lord is MY strength!
You are just the sweetest! I love your home decor and Christmas decor. You do bring joy, everyday you put yourself out there to us. You are so genuine and real. You brighten my day every video! I love the cards, tags, cross stitch, felt stitching, sewing and quilting. I have no idea how to quilt but made the quilty project bag you did a tutorial for. You are an inspiration to us. Thank YOU Nichole for sharing yourself with us. God bless you. I love the sampler!
You are adorable! Sometimes life is just hard and we have to survive in our own way. Thank you for your wisdom and creativity and sharing with all of us! Love a good sampler!
Thanks for all you do for us. It is alot of work to put together a flosstube and an everyday vlogmass! Not to mention all the tutorials your share! I enjoy an appreciate all you do. Your stitching and decorating are beautiful. The holidays can be difficult, and I wish you the very best! A 1997 sampler...priceless! Looking forward to your next vlogmas!! Hugs.
Nothing better than your videos and stitching samplers!!! Sending love back atcha! Your generosity with your time and talents is such a beautiful way to serve others! It is no wonder why so many good things come your way!
I had to giggle when you said that this was probably NOT the place to get discouraged on starting something new.... you are so right. We all want to stitch ALL the samplers! I'm enjoying the vlogmas videos. I appreciate all the extra work. Thank you.
Oh wow, my heart just melted- if the world could share the kindness like you did in this vlog, the holidays would probably be easier and brighter for everyone. Yes, we all have our 'reasons' but with kindness as you shared, there's also a reason to celebrate and enjoy what makes us happy. Thank you Nichol, and praying for a contented season for you and all. Oo, Christmas stitching- pretty much all I did this year as I stitched Nora Corbett's 9 (yes, all 9) reindeer! Loved it- though there were a few moments.. Now hoping to get them framed before Dec 25, lol. A Christmas sampler would be delightful for next year's stitching. Have a wonderful day all!
Thanks for your sweet message. I struggle with holidays, even more since I’m alone on most holidays. It is 12/14 today and I’m happy I decided to start watching your Vlogmas. It is a bright light in the darkness. 🤗💛. (I probably will complete a couple more tonight)
I'm loving these. We lost our sweet mom on October 23 and I loved hearing you thoughts. You always seem so upbeat that's why I love watching you and hearing your stories. Thank you for all you do
You are a hoot! I so enjoy the Vlogmas videos. As I look thru my mess of a house I am inspired by how you share…overwhelmed is a word that pops for me. I’m in another phase of my life, having a great granddaughter and another coming in January..we know we have more behind us than in front. But decorating is for me ‘memories’ …our first Christmas tree had Santa’s, Mrs Claus, snowmen and other ornaments bought from Fred’s Dollar Store! Who would have guessed they would still be decorating my tree and be Vintage now! Hahaha. So I feel happy when I look at my ‘Sampler’ of a tree and get to share where we started with my family…now in four generations! 🥰
Thank you Nichol for sharing your joy with us all. I look forward to seeing your daily videos and they bring me joy. You inspire me and I love that you take your dogs for a walk in 23 degrees!!
My MIL would love having a sampler for Christmas decor! I’d have stitch it but I definitely craft for gifting and rarely keep things 😂 also, my current decor style is anything with wheels, giant dump trucks, monster trucks, trains. All the wheels courtesy of my two toddler boys. There will come a day when I can have a pretty house again😅
I really enjoyed your video today and I so appreciated your heartfelt comments at the end. Yes, holidays can be hard and it's so important to take time for ourselves and do what makes us happy.
Every morning I'm waking up grabbing my coffee and putting on your Flossmas video. It makes my day so much better. And I love watching you get yourself ready in the morning. Gives me the motivation I need to get up, fix myself up, and not look like a slob all day. Lol. So thank you for sharing yourself with us. I have a so called bucket list of stitching projects I would like done in my lifetime. And to do a Sampler is one of them. Till tomorrow Happy Flossmas. Kim
What a wonderful suprise! The dogs woke me up, and i got to watch your video! I truly enjoy your Voglmas, and I am so happy that you are doing it. I love your Sampler and the aida. So now, i am goung back to bed! Good Night. ❤
It’s in the 20’s here in Salisbury NC. Thank goodness we have 5 fenced acres for my 3 pups to run around. Way too cold for me to walk them. Doesn’t usually get this cold here so soon. Was 70 just 2 weeks ago. Love everything you do. ❤❤❤Happy Holidays
Love the Vlogmus because it brings me joy. I have no “children” at home anymore so I decorate for me too. I know these are a lot of work but I love them all. ❤
You are so creative. You are one of my definite go to. Thank you for sharing your personal thoughts. It touched my heart. You bring joy to my day. I so love the vlogmas and anything else you decide to share. Lately sampler charts have been my latest addiction. We love you too. Thank you.
I love your Vlogmas. You put on a good front of peace and happiness. I’ve been told that faking it is one way to soldier through. Know that you’re such a lovely person and this person in Michigan appreciates you❤️
Thank you for doing Flossmas. I am enjoying it very much. Sampler is beautiful and my favorite fabric is 14 count Aida . I can't wait to see more fun days with you. ❤
Thank you for your words and your company! This season is probably the hardest one yet, and what said struck such a chord in me. Stitching is my happy little pleasure, and I love to have others to share that with, even if you will probably never know me. I do count you as a friend, and I am happy to spend time watching you enjoy what I enjoy so much.
Great video and you're right. Sometimes life is just a struggle but making things and giving them away to make someone smile is my goal. Thanks so much.
The Christmas SAMPLER patterns are amazing! Being in the sandwich generation the holidays are definitely different. We moved my in-laws out of their house last November and now my mom will be in a facility this year for the holidays too ( but at least she is still with us, recovering from a fall that was almost fatal). I’m so glad that there is a supportive floss tube community especially for those who are alone for the holidays!💕
Thanks for being such an inspiration in crafting, stitching and LiFe. You are a welcome sight to see each day of this Vlogmas season. The sampler trio is a timeless treasure.
Nichol thank you for showing all your progress. Sampler I can understand how difficult holidays can be, I have been there and know the pain. You are such a pleasure to watch and it helps to keep my spirits up during the holidays. What special die cuts are best for felt.
I had to jump in after listening to the end of your video. I am catching up on your Vlogmas videos tonight. I have felt better after listening to each of them because you start each one off with a big smile and a cheerful attitude! I love seeing your house and I am so impressed that you have such a beautiful home. Doing that on your own is amazing! I am single and my parents have been gone a long time. My closest brother passed away 7 years ago from MS. It gets very lonely during the holidays. Mother’s Day and Christmas are probably the hardest. Music helps me a lot!! And so does crafting! Your videos are so inspiring! I will keep you in my prayers! It’s probably the best gift I can give you! God bless you!
Yes, yes, yes!!!! Do what makes you happy! I’m a grandma now, kids have their own families and traditions so I decorate for me now and I love it. Sorry holidays are hard for you. Greetings from 🇨🇦
Such a beautiful Prairie Schooler SAMPLER. I have enjoyed the Vlogmas/flosstubes this season. The Christmas previous finishes & your opening up your home has been wonderful.
Vlogmas with you is so much fun! I love your projects and decorating and sweet little dogs. I learned many years ago to decorate and enjoy the holidays for me ! And like you I share that with my friends on social media. If it makes them smile or laugh it lifts my spirits too. Holidays are hard but I say a little prayer of gratitude for all that I have and can still do!
Your Vlogmas is so much fun. Thank you for taking the time to put these together. You are definitely bringing a little light and joy to all of us who also struggle during the holidays.
Thank you for taking time to do the Vlogmas flosstubes, especially during such a busy time. Love the Sampler and cloth. I look forward to watching your flosstubes.
Sending you some hearts and hugs for doing your Vlogmas. My kids are grown and we don't host Christmas. I put out all the decorations, go crazy with gift wrapping, make cookies, make special tags all because I LOVE TO DO IT and it MAKES ME HAPPY! I am enjoying your Vlogmas while I am making a bunch of tags! Keep it going and know that we are loving it! Thank you!
Love the Vlogmas or Flossmas as some call it. They are fun and cute. Also gives folks an idea of what to expect from the 12 day kits you can buy. It’s stills in the high 70s here so getting into the Christmas mood is hard, so these help.
The only “sampler” type project I’ve done are samplers for my children with their birth info on them, otherwise I’ve mostly done smaller pictures. Great Vlogmas today, Nichol…thank you for your real and sweet words at the end. You have definitely been company for me as I’ve gone back to the beginning of Vlogmas Day 1 to catch up with what I’ve missed. I love your soft voice, sweet countenance and caring demeanor. I seriously think you could be a friend to everyone!! ❤
I am loving the vlogmas!!! I have been an empty nester for 5 years now and there are still times that is difficult. On a good note, having my grandkids help because now I get to make cards for them for all occassions. I love your energy and your kindness in all that you do. Cute SAMPLER for the give away.
Fun but cold walk! Go you! Oh I love your glass box for your finishes!! These finish parades are awesome!! The vlogmas is so fun! Thank you! I need to do a sampler with words. That’s adorable! Holidays are hard for me too and I have a muscle disease worsened by stress so it’s a double whammy. I loved holidays as a kid and feel like I fail my kiddos. I’m taking time to heal and try to find joy in the little moments and fight the overwhelm. Thank you for sharing! 😌❤
Nichol. Christmas is my very favorite time of the year… no matter what. My 2 kids have grown and live apart but as you said I do the decor because it gives me Joy. Now my hands are full with mom and the Church but still entertain myself and enjoy all this (it’s my ME time) and you are giving me such a lot of inspiration with the home decor. I also SB, crochet and I am new to CS that I love because I can make things for gifting or home. I am enjoying this vlogmas so much. Sometimes I can sit to watch them and other I do it while cooking or doing the dishes. Tks so much for sharing with us❤❤❤
I’m enjoying seeing what’s in the Kitten Stitcher Adventure box. I knew it would be a really good one, but the price, while worth it, was beyond my budget. Thanks for sharing display ideas. That’s an area I need help and inspiration. Your joy and positivity shine through, even when you struggle. We need more joy and kindness in this world. Now more than ever. Love the Prairie Schooler sampler. Peace and Hope to you!
Christmas is hard for me too…. Especially when it’s over. I get it. I think you are wonderful & I look forward to all your content & it makes me happy. I also miss your paper crafting too❤❤❤
Nichol your Vlogmas videos are so fun. Love the house setting of the video. Makes us feel like we are right there with you! I love that Prairie schooler SAMPLER. What a great giveaway! You always put a mile on my face. ❤
God love you sweet lady ❤I’m an older mom..I started late as I’m 47 and my youngest is 8 😊I decorate because I see pure joy & I’m lucky to have my girls. After mom passed away in 2019, holidays just haven’t been the same but I do it for my girls to enjoy the memories. Thank you for sharing that today, it was nice to hear someone else feel the same way I do. Take care of yourself lil love 💗 we all appreciate & adore you
I am enjoying the Vlogmas videos and seeing your finished projects from previous years. I am with you on needing to commit to stitching Christmas all year long. I have ornaments and ideas for gifts that I want to stitch and finish. Thank you to the generous donor of the PS Sampler.
I love this vlogmas format. My husband died 4 years and Christmas is still hard for me. Thank you for sharing your beautiful self with us. I would love the sampler pattern.
I have enjoyed the vlogmas episodes. They have been a light in the day. Love seeing the boys and unfortunately the cold walks for you. Glad to hear you have those “episodes” when you misplaced something and can’t find it even though you just had it. Makes me feel better as I have them too. I have never stitched a sampler but would like to try someday. Thank you for sharing parts of your day with us this month and I look forward to seeing tomorrow’s. Take care of yourself also as it is important to your health.
Thank you, Nichol, for your heartfelt words yesterday. Crafting is how I get through the holidays. We are so conditioned to think of this holiday season as somehow magical and wonderful when so many times it is in reality stressful and less than ideal. Watching you each day with your dogs and your cute mug of coffee and lovely home and projects is way for me to re-insert a little magic into my life. And to tell me to get my act in gear! Love your videos! Thank you for the inspiration.
I absolutely love your vlogmas and your flosstube videos! You are going to spoil us getting a video every day. It has been an absolute joy to relax at the end of the day with your videos and a bit of stitching. I'm way behind on my Jingle Ball classes, and haven't even started my Gingerbread House. Please keep showing all of your decorations, I love them and find so much inspiration! My house would be so boring if you didn't show me how to decorate it!! 😅 Sampler
I look forward to your flosstube every Sunday! You're one of my favorites! Now we get a daily dose! Your decorations are beautiful and all your finishes are amazing! Thank you for sharing I don't know how you get everything accomplished AMAZING!! I went down the Prairie Schooler rabbit hole and I am obsessed! The sampler would be a great addition to my stash!! Again thank you for all you amazing content flosstube and cardmaking!!
I love watching your vlogmas each day before I go to bed. The holidays can be so stressful and it gives me time to unwind and remember to enjoy the things I love. I don't do cross stitch (love papercrafting and stitching on paper) but love seeing all of your lovely handwork.
These are wonderful! I get some of my doggie fix watching you with your babies 😁. I also get it when we pet sit for a friend. You're so sweet and chose a great format for your videos ❤❤

Thank you for doing Flossmas. I am enjoying it very much. Sampler is beautiful and my favorite fabric is 14 count Aida . I can't wait to see more fun days with you. ❤
Oh I hate surprises! 😂 I’d be the one that opens everything! 😂😂😂
HA! I know a friend who opened it all the minute she got it! I told her " no spoilers"!!!
@ that would be me!
Thank you for your words and your company! This season is probably the hardest one yet, and what said struck such a chord in me. Stitching is my happy little pleasure, and I love to have others to share that with, even if you will probably never know me. I do count you as a friend, and I am happy to spend time watching you enjoy what I enjoy so much.
What a generous giveaway for this sampler! Live the Vlogmas Series!
Great video and you're right. Sometimes life is just a struggle but making things and giving them away to make someone smile is my goal. Thanks so much.
Love watching you open your advent calendar, such fun little treasures. Sampler
The Christmas SAMPLER patterns are amazing! Being in the sandwich generation the holidays are definitely different. We moved my in-laws out of their house last November and now my mom will be in a facility this year for the holidays too ( but at least she is still with us, recovering from a fall that was almost fatal). I’m so glad that there is a supportive floss tube community especially for those who are alone for the holidays!💕
So much fun to see your smiling face and stitches each day! Sampler
I’m so glad you’re enjoying it!
I’m loving you showing us all the “samplers” you have created in the past. It’s inspiring me to get back into cross stitch
Girl. It felt like you were talking directly to me at the end! Thank you for sharing your gift and your beautiful home with us! Much love to you ❤
I'm sending you lots of love too! 💕
Thanks for being such an inspiration in crafting, stitching and LiFe. You are a welcome sight to see each day of this Vlogmas season. The sampler trio is a timeless treasure.
Thank you for all that you do for everyone and including yourself. Sampler
Nichol, you are a very special person. I love these volgmas that you show your everyday life. You are a very special person. Sampler

It’s always a delight to watch your videos! I am also a multi-crafter. Hugs!!!
Nichol thank you for showing all your progress. Sampler I can understand how difficult holidays can be, I have been there and know the pain. You are such a pleasure to watch and it helps to keep my spirits up during the holidays. What special die cuts are best for felt.
Sampler ❤. It is so much fun seeing you everyday! I really look forward to the next morning!
I love that you are doing these daily video's. They cheer me up and I look forward to them everyday now. I love doing a good sampler.
I had to jump in after listening to the end of your video. I am catching up on your Vlogmas videos tonight. I have felt better after listening to each of them because you start each one off with a big smile and a cheerful attitude! I love seeing your house and I am so impressed that you have such a beautiful home. Doing that on your own is amazing! I am single and my parents have been gone a long time. My closest brother passed away 7 years ago from MS. It gets very lonely during the holidays. Mother’s Day and Christmas are probably the hardest. Music helps me a lot!! And so does crafting! Your videos are so inspiring! I will keep you in my prayers! It’s probably the best gift I can give you! God bless you!
Yes, yes, yes!!!! Do what makes you happy! I’m a grandma now, kids have their own families and traditions so I decorate for me now and I love it. Sorry holidays are hard for you. Greetings from 🇨🇦
Your just so sweet Nichol... you make me smile... thanks for letting us tag along....SAMPLER
Enjoy your videos - certainly brightens my day. A Sampler is always fun
Such a beautiful Prairie Schooler SAMPLER. I have enjoyed the Vlogmas/flosstubes this season. The Christmas previous finishes & your opening up your home has been wonderful.
For sure Nichol. Thank you for everything. We do need to lift each other up. Gorgeous makes.
Vlogmas with you is so much fun! I love your projects and decorating and sweet little dogs. I learned many years ago to decorate and enjoy the holidays for me ! And like you I share that with my friends on social media. If it makes them smile or laugh it lifts my spirits too. Holidays are hard but I say a little prayer of gratitude for all that I have and can still do!
Your Vlogmas is so much fun. Thank you for taking the time to put these together. You are definitely bringing a little light and joy to all of us who also struggle during the holidays.
I am so glad you are enjoying it! ❤️
Thank you for taking time to do the Vlogmas flosstubes, especially during such a busy time. Love the Sampler and cloth. I look forward to watching your flosstubes.
Sending you some hearts and hugs for doing your Vlogmas. My kids are grown and we don't host Christmas. I put out all the decorations, go crazy with gift wrapping, make cookies, make special tags all because I LOVE TO DO IT and it MAKES ME HAPPY! I am enjoying your Vlogmas while I am making a bunch of tags! Keep it going and know that we are loving it! Thank you!
Love the Vlogmas or Flossmas as some call it. They are fun and cute. Also gives folks an idea of what to expect from the 12 day kits you can buy. It’s stills in the high 70s here so getting into the Christmas mood is hard, so these help.
The only “sampler” type project I’ve done are samplers for my children with their birth info on them, otherwise I’ve mostly done smaller pictures. Great Vlogmas today, Nichol…thank you for your real and sweet words at the end. You have definitely been company for me as I’ve gone back to the beginning of Vlogmas Day 1 to catch up with what I’ve missed. I love your soft voice, sweet countenance and caring demeanor. I seriously think you could be a friend to everyone!! ❤
I love these Vlogmas videos. Like the Sampler. Thanks
I am loving the vlogmas!!! I have been an empty nester for 5 years now and there are still times that is difficult. On a good note, having my grandkids help because now I get to make cards for them for all occassions. I love your energy and your kindness in all that you do. Cute SAMPLER for the give away.
Thoroughly enjoyed...again! The reflections on the season at the very end warmed my heart. Your thoughts belong in a sampler.❤
I am so glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Thank you for that kind message You have definitely kept me company and me not feel so lonely in my alone time. You are such a gift ❤
Fun but cold walk! Go you! Oh I love your glass box for your finishes!! These finish parades are awesome!! The vlogmas is so fun! Thank you! I need to do a sampler with words. That’s adorable! Holidays are hard for me too and I have a muscle disease worsened by stress so it’s a double whammy. I loved holidays as a kid and feel like I fail my kiddos. I’m taking time to heal and try to find joy in the little moments and fight the overwhelm. Thank you for sharing! 😌❤
Nichol. Christmas is my very favorite time of the year… no matter what. My 2 kids have grown and live apart but as you said I do the decor because it gives me Joy. Now my hands are full with mom and the Church but still entertain myself and enjoy all this (it’s my ME time) and you are giving me such a lot of inspiration with the home decor. I also SB, crochet and I am new to CS that I love because I can make things for gifting or home.
I am enjoying this vlogmas so much. Sometimes I can sit to watch them and other I do it while cooking or doing the dishes. Tks so much for sharing with us❤❤❤
I’m so glad you are enjoying Vlogmas!
I’m enjoying seeing what’s in the Kitten Stitcher Adventure box. I knew it would be a really good one, but the price, while worth it, was beyond my budget. Thanks for sharing display ideas. That’s an area I need help and inspiration.
Your joy and positivity shine through, even when you struggle. We need more joy and kindness in this world. Now more than ever. Love the Prairie Schooler sampler. Peace and Hope to you!
Christmas is hard for me too…. Especially when it’s over. I get it. I think you are wonderful & I look forward to all your content & it makes me happy. I also miss your paper crafting too❤❤❤
Enjoy seeing you everyday. Thanks for taking the time for doing Vlogmas. Beautiful sampler. Happy stitching.
Nichol your Vlogmas videos are so fun. Love the house setting of the video. Makes us feel like we are right there with you! I love that Prairie schooler SAMPLER. What a great giveaway! You always put a mile on my face. ❤
God love you sweet lady ❤I’m an older mom..I started late as I’m 47 and my youngest is 8 😊I decorate because I see pure joy & I’m lucky to have my girls. After mom passed away in 2019, holidays just haven’t been the same but I do it for my girls to enjoy the memories. Thank you for sharing that today, it was nice to hear someone else feel the same way I do. Take care of yourself lil love 💗 we all appreciate & adore you
I am enjoying the Vlogmas videos and seeing your finished projects from previous years. I am with you on needing to commit to stitching Christmas all year long. I have ornaments and ideas for gifts that I want to stitch and finish. Thank you to the generous donor of the PS Sampler.
Thank you! You bring joy to me with all your creativity and sending 💗 back to you during this Holiday season!

Your snow globe is adorable! Very creative. Would love to complete a SAMPLER next year. Love this daily dose of Nichol! TFS.
I always love a good Sampler to stitch even though I only have a couple done. Love watching you unbox your advent calendar
I love this vlogmas format. My husband died 4 years and Christmas is still hard for me. Thank you for sharing your beautiful self with us. I would love the sampler pattern.
Love me a sampler! 😊. Thank you Nichol for being you!!!!
I have enjoyed the vlogmas episodes. They have been a light in the day. Love seeing the boys and unfortunately the cold walks for you. Glad to hear you have those “episodes” when you misplaced something and can’t find it even though you just had it. Makes me feel better as I have them too. I have never stitched a sampler but would like to try someday. Thank you for sharing parts of your day with us this month and I look forward to seeing tomorrow’s. Take care of yourself also as it is important to your health.
Very cute stitching. Samplers are my favorite. Stitching on Parson Brown
Thank you, Nichol, for your heartfelt words yesterday. Crafting is how I get through the holidays. We are so conditioned to think of this holiday season as somehow magical and wonderful when so many times it is in reality stressful and less than ideal. Watching you each day with your dogs and your cute mug of coffee and lovely home and projects is way for me to re-insert a little magic into my life. And to tell me to get my act in gear! Love your videos! Thank you for the inspiration.
I love stitching samplers and have memories of my mom stitching them.
Thank you for your honest comments. I thought it was just me struggling at the holidays !
I absolutely love your vlogmas and your flosstube videos! You are going to spoil us getting a video every day. It has been an absolute joy to relax at the end of the day with your videos and a bit of stitching. I'm way behind on my Jingle Ball classes, and haven't even started my Gingerbread House. Please keep showing all of your decorations, I love them and find so much inspiration! My house would be so boring if you didn't show me how to decorate it!! 😅 Sampler
I look forward to your flosstube every Sunday! You're one of my favorites! Now we get a daily dose! Your decorations are beautiful and all your finishes are amazing! Thank you for sharing I don't know how you get everything accomplished AMAZING!! I went down the Prairie Schooler rabbit hole and I am obsessed! The sampler would be a great addition to my stash!! Again thank you for all you amazing content flosstube and cardmaking!!
I love watching your vlogmas each day before I go to bed. The holidays can be so stressful and it gives me time to unwind and remember to enjoy the things I love. I don't do cross stitch (love papercrafting and stitching on paper) but love seeing all of your lovely handwork.
These are wonderful! I get some of my doggie fix watching you with your babies 😁. I also get it when we pet sit for a friend. You're so sweet and chose a great format for your videos ❤❤
Life has its ups and downs for everyone. But you bring a joy to my day. Thank you!!
