Thank you for the tour of your house. It’s beautiful! I don’t do resolutions, but if I did it would be to find a way not to lose my needle. I find them in the darndest places! I like the word for the year idea.
Be still my beating heart. Sherri, I swear, when you opened the doors of your floss cabinet, I heard a choir of angels sing! I gave up making NY resolutions a long time ago and I've never thought about having a word of the year, it sounds intriguing. I hope that you're keeping well. Hugs Marie
Yes, I do have a word for the year ( which I started to do when our pastor encouraged us to choose a word instead of making resolutions a couple of years ago). My word for 2021 is "focus", and I have a Bible verse for the year which relates to my word of the year ~ Hebrews 3:1 I'm trying to focus my thoughts on Jesus, and to focus on the positive, and to focus on my task at hand. I also do have goals for this year. My fun one is to cross stitch every day if possible. :) Thank you for sharing and showing us your craft room ~ amazing organization and great ideas for storage. I'm an Andy Griffith fan, too! :) I really enjoyed your tour.
Entering my words house and needle. I have never heard of word of the year but I think it is such a great idea. I’m thinking “grateful” could be mine for this year, just to be mindful to be grateful for everything in my life and what comes my way every day.
@@ColoradoCrossStitcher I assume you were talking about Susan I-P in your video. I sure do miss her stories and uplifting words of wisdom. I’m loving your floss tubes and have been redoing my CM room into a combination sewing/stitching/ scrapbooking room. I got some good tips from you.
I use a word of the year after years of failing with resolutions then I make a few goals for the upcoming year. This year’s word is “resilience”. I want to show toughness and the ability to bounce back from hard times.
I started the word of the year. I picked the word “relax”. I am tired of stressing out with needlework deadlines I put on myself. This year I am telling myself to relax, enjoy the process
I don’t do NY resolutions but have selected a guiding word for each year. For 2021 I chose the word Joy. I choose to look for the joy in every day and spread joy wherever I can. I never considered stitching my word into a pin pillow, but I think that is a brilliant idea. I found a design that uses the word Joy and will stitch it as soon as the pattern arrives. Needle, house
In my HOUSE, I keep a journal ( that I continually add to) of positive words , phrases and statements and pictures that I review on a regular basis. It is always a positive and uplifting experience. PS I believe Drawn Thread is still located in Fort Collins and you can order entire kits from her website.
That's a great journal idea. I think I will adopt that! And I messaged Drawn Thread, as I had no idea she was near here! Turns out, she is in Denver, so that's fun!
Your Saviors piece is so pretty, just love it and all the personalization you made. Thanks for the home tour. Can’t wait to see the progress on your projects and new ones to come. Thanks for the video and inspiration! Needle. I do small resolutions, I don’t share them normally and sometimes I do have a word that I will use through the year. The words I share and this years is a reminder of something for me personally - positive.
Great idea for the word of the year! I journal and pick a word of the year, every year. My word this year is “understanding “. I will be adding a needle stitch project to all them. I love the tour of your stitching /knitting/office. I bet you fill your house with a lot of beautiful projects. Your craft room is amazing.
I love a good needle and have them all over my house. I do a word of the year and my word for this year is patience. Thank you for another great video.
Needle, house. I make News Years resolutions. 1st is to read my Bible daily, a chapter at a time. Second, I've divided my cross stitch projects into days of the week, so I have a good rotation
Two things that bring me great peace and calm: my house and my needle. I have done a "One Little Word" for the past 6 years. This year my word is "room".....I want to be sure to leave room and create room for spontaneity, adventure and new experiences. Thanks for sharing your craft room! Loved seeing it....always love to get new ideas!
My word this year is turtle. It is to remind me that slow and steady will get me there. Thank you for the peek into your craft room and your stitchy place. I love that you have the door. The buyer of the farm bldgs where I grew up told me I could have the door to the house before he demolished it. It was a beautiful door with colored glass. When he went to get it for me he discovered that it had been stolen. Sad news. It is not the end of the world but I am happy that you have your special door.
Thank you for sharing. My word for the year is grateful. I am grateful that I have a house of friends that I can share my love of needle and thread crafts.
I really enjoyed the tour of your creative spaces in your house. It’s always fun to see how others set things up. I have had a word of the year for many years. This year it is “strength”. And it is based on the fact that I know my strength comes from the Lord ❤️
My word this year is courage. I'm praying for courage to stand for my faith - my Savior. Courage to not shrink away when confronted with opportunities to share the Gospel. I've dropped 2 needles lately in couch - sure do hope the grand babies don't "find" them when they come to Gramsie's house! Loved seeing your space and your videos are the best! I never know what you are going to add, but I know it will be fun and informative. The time spent organizing and planning really comes through. Thank you.
Courage is a beautiful word, and I love how you have made a list of the ways that you can show it in 2021. I'm hoping you have lots of opportunities to practice your word this year!
"House and Needle." Could be the name of a home accessory and needlework shop! I try to pick a word, but incorporating it in my life falls away just like resolutions do. I like your accountability strategies. I think my word for 2021 is blessings. Sharing, receiving and most of all finding blessings in the ups AND downs of life. Thank you.
Your suggestion of a word of the year really resonated with me this morning, like a bell going off! What a positive idea! My four sisters and I zoom every two weeks and we try to find meaningful things to connect and share. I will be suggesting this to them! You did a wonderful job of presenting how to incorporate this into our lives. I will not needle them with participating, but if they do, I’ll stitch a little pillow for each of them with their word to put in their house!
HOUSE and NEEDLE I love your “word” of the year. It reminds me of having words of affirmations! You are such a positive personality and I love seeing your videos.
Even before we were confined to the house, I took up my needle for the first time in almost 30 years! I am a knitter with a capital K, as well as a spinner. I don't really do resolutions, but my word of the year this year is Useful. Above all, I wish to be truly useful in this world.
Thank you, Sheri, for sharing all of your stitchy stuff with us. I love your room where you enjoy your crafts. It was fun seeing Little Loopy here and there. I just love him. I don't have a word this year, but I'm thinking about it. Mine may end up being a phrase. One that comes to mind, is "Trust in the Lord, always". Until next time, Sheri, have many wonderful, blessed days. Diane
House! Loved seeing your craft area. Some good words I could choose: patience, focus or abundance. The quote about having all I need (abundance) is to remind me to USE patterns, fabric, yarn that I ‘had to have’ and now they sit waiting for me to do something with them ;)
Hi Sheri! This is Lori from Utah. Thanks for another wonderful video! I love seeing inside the fun crafty rooms in your house. Thank you also for your warm hospitality when I visited the Loopy Ewe...best knitting & yarn store EVER! I'm so glad we stopped by.
I so enjoyed your tour of the craft room and cross stitch room. I am blessed to have a sewing/craft room and am so thankful as I use it every day. I am a quilter and stitcher and have done many of the same crafts you mentioned which were all enjoyable at the time. Thank you for sharing - always enjoy your videos!
I am still snickering about cutting and eating to make the brownie row even analogy...I'm sure you can tell that has happened to me before, lol!! I love the idea of the word of the year and stitching a pillow for that! I have never done a word for the year before but I am going to come up with one and stitch me a little pillow too. Thanks for the inspiration! Love your tour and your floss cabinet is fantastic! Oh your craft room is wonderful, so bright and cheery, cute window treatment!!
Wow! Your craft room is A.amazing with the huge windows supplying the always valuable natural light!! Your office is gorgeous, too! Thx for sharing!! Needle
Congratulations on reaching 6,000 subscribers!! I love the pattern with the house. I don’t do resolutions or a word of the year, but if I were to chose a word of the year I think it would grace. I am always mindful of God’s Grace and at the same time we should also show grace to others. I enjoyed your stitching room tour; it is always fun to be abler to place people in their environment when they are stitching. I love, love the fabric box that has the blue morning glories on it as I have never seen one quite like that. It is so pretty. Love your red polka dot storage and the thread cabinet. So wonderful. Adding hooks to the doors is a great idea and would double your space. I am totally envious of all of the beautiful space that you have in your craft room; so adorable and such a nice work space. Love your cat pincushion.
NEEDLE AND HOUSE IS MY ENTRY!! My word for this year is JOY!! Once again I enjoyed visiting with you and your beautiful WIPS!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2021!!
Needle, house, My you are working on some amazing projects. No resolutions or words of the year. Loved your tours. So much to see and so many awesome ideas
Forgot to tell you that I love your craft room with all the windows. Wish that some day have a room big like your room. Enjoy seeing your office, floss closet, where you video tape and all the pictures on the wall that you did cross stitch. Have a good week.
I like to stitch with a gold-plated needle and Little House patterns are some of my favorites. I do not make specific resolutions, but I have decided to make sure I do something that brings me joy every day this year. I don't want to wait until all the chores, etc. are done before I stitch, read, spend time with friends, or play a game.
Sheri, oh my gosh your office and craft room is AWESOME! You are so blessed! I love the light you have in the craft room. What are in the drawers of your big big cabinet? What a treasure that piece is. Also what are the cute little “kindness” knit cuties you showed? I loved those!!! Wow, and all the beautiful cross stitch you’ve done! Amazing space for all your crafts. I just retired, and I am in process of turning one of our upstairs bedrooms into my cross stitch studio and it’s been so much fun! I’m even more inspired now from viewing your video. Thanks so much for sharing! Oh my! And that door table of your grandparents! Have a good week and I eagerly await your next floss tube! Your floss tube is my favorite!
Hi Karen! Most of the drawers in the big cabinet all hold a different color of wool for my wool applique projects. A couple of the drawers hold empty project bags for future knitting projects. And the Kindness Monster pattern can be found on Ravelry. I just changed the pattern slightly by making mine striped so I could add more colors in. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/a-little-kindness-monster
Needle House Thank you for your flosstubes. I learn so much from you. I LOVE the library card idea. Your flosstubes are fun and educational. Thank you so much!
Congrats on finishing your mittens...it's just never too late to stitch what you love...my favorite needle size is 24....we have all spent too much time in the house this year...Love your craft spaces....thanks for inviting us over!
Your Christmas Quaker is stunning! My word for the year is embrace. We have changes coming for our family and I want to embrace all of it. Needle Thanks for the fun tour!
The tour of your craft space was so wonderful, like seeing were individuals craft and sew. I have a word for the year and this years word is joy. Like the idea of a necklace to remind me of the word. Needle and house.
I used the word Joy one year - loved focusing on that the whole year. I kept a notebook by my bed and wrote down something that brought my JOY that day (or ways that I shared Joy with others that day).
House. Needle. And I have tried Resolutions, but they never really persisted. I have 2 friends who choose words of the year, so I jumped on that bandwagon this year - and I LOVE it. I think I should stitch my word too. It is ‘Faithful’. I want to be faithful to my goals, and I want to remember to be ‘Faith Filled’. It has helped me so much, and we’re only 3ish weeks into the year! My sister gifted me with a t’shirt with it on it. Really wonderful practice.
Love that you're doing a word of the year for the first time! And how great that you have two friends who can be supportive and help to keep you accountable!
So sad Sajou closed, hopefully only temporary. Lovely podcast and your samplers are so beautiful. Needle and house. I don’t do resolutions because you never know how the year will play out. I do a word every year, this year is hope!!
My mother and I just decided our word for this year is "Patience". Both my parents are in a nursing home and we are learning patience. I will be so excited when I can go in to see them again. My needle and cross stitching a house has been my therapy.
I loved the tour of your crafting areas. I picked faith as my word of the year which I am trying for the first time this year. Joy is having a needle in my hand at all times when in my house!
Needle and House! Loving the word Idea! Being more "Mindful" has been on my mind. Mindful what I say, what I do and what I think. You are such an inspiration to me and really love your style, I see that I have ordered several of the projects you are doing. Your work is stunning!
Love your office ..... that is excellent storage for your cross stitch supplies. Your craft room is amazing. Thank you for the inspiring tour!. No resolutions for me going forward. My word for this year is Hope. Needle and House !!
Thank you for sharing your house. Love the big cabinet and little items that make it your happy place. My word this year is Fearless reminding me trust and fear not. Enjoy your stitching and tips. Needle.
Needle and house. Thanks for your lovely video. I like the idea of word of the year. And stitch a little pillow with it as a reminder. That’s so lovely. Stay safe. Best wishes, Bettina
Sheri, you have many of the same tastes as I do. I, too, am fond of, and own, those large beautiful works. Never have a bunch or finishes but just thoroughly enjoy working on my needlework. I wanted to thank you for you craft room tour. Thanks, too, for taking the time to explain why individual pieces were meaningful for you. 😷
Loved the tour of the craft room and all your special treasures. WE are in the process of moving and I am having to pack up my craft room which has taken me days... what a job!!
House. Needle.Loved your tours and the window dressings from hanker chiefs and rulers! loved your floss cabinet and especially Quaker Christmas (put it on my list) so enjoy your floss tube. I just started a word for the year in 2020 and I pray and ask the Lord what does He think my word should be after sharing what I am working on or challenges and hopes. In 2020 my word was "transform" and this year I was impressed by the Lord that my word for 2021 is to be "intentional". I felt like in my life I am to cross into the promise land and that cannot be done without being intentional. When Gods people crossed over they built Little Rock alters to memorialize what the had done crossing over. So it really meant a lot when you shared signing your word for the year pin cushion!
6k subscribers! This is amazing, congratulations! This year is the first year I have chosen a word. My word is authenticity. I am working to bring my authentic self in all areas of my life instead of having so many boxes/versions of myself. At work I’m one person. Home another, etc. your room tour was great to see since I am looking to update mine. Happy stitching!
I’m not a resolution maker and I never heard the concept of a word for the year but it’s interesting. Instead, I think of how I can improve upon myself like my attitude, being more grateful and the like. I enjoyed seeing the organization of your crafts and your craft room. The natural light and scenery you have in that room are so inviting. What a lovely place to be creative. My needle and my house have been a saving grace during quarantine. Stay safe & healthy
Thank you, Terry! We love older furniture pieces - they bring lots of history into the house, and it's fun to repurpose them. Also - I tidied up the craft room before shooting. It's not always that organized!!
Wow! Your floss cabinet is wonderful and your craft area is magnificent! Happy place indeed! I love the antique handkerchiefs on the windows....I have several from my dad and I just couldn’t find any project that I liked, but window dressing is beautiful. I do have a sewing room that I love, so I am blessed also. I do not make resolutions anymore, but I do like the word for the year and I picked Joy. Thank you for sharing your happy spaces with us. Blessings and take care. Needle
Joy is a great word - I used that a couple of years ago and really enjoyed focusing on that all year. I hope 2021 brings you much joy, and many opportunities to share joy with others, Kristin!
Really enjoyed your flosstube video. I'm returning to stitching after many years and love how everything is so different now. I don't make resolutions for the new year but this year I am choosing a word. It is sort of two words... but my word is Passion. I want to Be Passionate every day about the things i choose to do. I have felt so melancholy and powerless this last year and I am choosing to change that this year!! I think your silk threads would be lovely hanging on the inside of the doors of the cabinet. What a wonderful space you have created. Thank you for sharing!! needle. house.
Thank you for the tour of your house. It’s beautiful! I don’t do resolutions, but if I did it would be to find a way not to lose my needle. I find them in the darndest places! I like the word for the year idea.
needle, house, and my word is thankful for all the memories i have made over my 70+ years
Be still my beating heart. Sherri, I swear, when you opened the doors of your floss cabinet, I heard a choir of angels sing!
I gave up making NY resolutions a long time ago and I've never thought about having a word of the year, it sounds intriguing.
I hope that you're keeping well.
Hugs
Marie
Ha - that made me laugh! :-)
Yes, I do have a word for the year ( which I started to do when our pastor encouraged us to choose a word instead of making resolutions a couple of years ago). My word for 2021 is "focus", and I have a Bible verse for the year which relates to my word of the year ~ Hebrews 3:1 I'm trying to focus my thoughts on Jesus, and to focus on the positive, and to focus on my task at hand. I also do have goals for this year. My fun one is to cross stitch every day if possible. :) Thank you for sharing and showing us your craft room ~ amazing organization and great ideas for storage. I'm an Andy Griffith fan, too! :) I really enjoyed your tour.
Love the ways you've set out to "focus" in the coming year - that's wonderful. And I'm also glad to know another Andy Griffith fan! :-)
Entering my words house and needle. I have never heard of word of the year but I think it is such a great idea. I’m thinking “grateful” could be mine for this year, just to be mindful to be grateful for everything in my life and what comes my way every day.
I like grateful as a word of the year. It definitely has a positive connotation!
I do a word of the year. My word this year is grateful. I’m grateful for my family and my nice warm house. 😊
Grateful is a very positive word. I love it.
@@ColoradoCrossStitcher I assume you were talking about Susan I-P in your video. I sure do miss her stories and uplifting words of wisdom. I’m loving your floss tubes and have been redoing my CM room into a combination sewing/stitching/ scrapbooking room. I got some good tips from you.
@@northlouisianastitcher8000 Yes, that's the Susan I was talking about! She is still as full of wisdom and JOY as ever. :-)
I use a word of the year after years of failing with resolutions then I make a few goals for the upcoming year. This year’s word is “resilience”. I want to show toughness and the ability to bounce back from hard times.
That's a good word, and hopefully will help you to remember how strong you are, as you go through things this year.
I started the word of the year. I picked the word “relax”. I am tired of stressing out with needlework deadlines I put on myself. This year I am telling myself to relax, enjoy the process
Great advice to yourself!
For storing your silk floss, you could use command hooks on the doors. That way you wouldn't have to damage it in any way.
True! Not sure the door is thick enough for hooks, anyways, so that would solve it.
Needle and House! Thanks for your videos.
Thanks for your house it’s so cute ! I do a word of the year and my word this year is Hope , hope for a better year !
I love the word Hope. I haven't used it yet, but some year I will!
I don’t do NY resolutions but have selected a guiding word for each year. For 2021 I chose the word Joy. I choose to look for the joy in every day and spread joy wherever I can.

In my HOUSE, I keep a journal ( that I continually add to) of positive words , phrases and statements and pictures that I review on a regular basis. It is always a positive and uplifting experience.
PS I believe Drawn Thread is still located in Fort Collins and you can order entire kits from her website.
That's a great journal idea. I think I will adopt that! And I messaged Drawn Thread, as I had no idea she was near here! Turns out, she is in Denver, so that's fun!

That's a great word to focus on, especially during challenging times like we've had over the past 12 months!
My only resolution is to stop losing my cross stitch Needle in my House!
😂😂😂
Absolutely, even with magnets and needle minders I lose mine!
Great idea for the word of the year! I journal and pick a word of the year, every year. My word this year is “understanding “. I will be adding a needle stitch project to all them. I love the tour of your stitching /knitting/office. I bet you fill your house with a lot of beautiful projects. Your craft room is amazing.
Understanding is a good word and a good reminder - I like that. :-)
I like to have a word as a reminder - mine this year is patience.
I love a good needle and have them all over my house. I do a word of the year and my word for this year is patience. Thank you for another great video.
I hope you get lots of opportunities to "realize" patience (and maybe not so many to actually have to practice patience - ha!)
Needle, house. Usually choose a quote or phrase. This year is " happiness is a daily decision."
I like the idea of a yearly quote - thanks for sharing that!
I think stitching a word of the year is a great idea! I would love needle and house. Thanks. Barb
Needle, house. I make News Years resolutions. 1st is to read my Bible daily, a chapter at a time. Second, I've divided my cross stitch projects into days of the week, so I have a good rotation
I love the idea of word for the year, mine will be courage , thanks
Loose needles in the house, can be scary.
That was a fantastic video! Amazing craft room, it’s so neat! Love your floss cabinet! Needle and House.
Well you know, I did tidy it up a bit before filming. ;-)
Lol
Friend. Needle. I don’t make resolutions. This year’s word: breathe.
Needle House. I don't make resolutions, and have never had a word of the year. Congrats on 6000 subscribers.
Thank you!
Love bees and that Silver Needle kit is so cute. Thanks for sharing. No resolutions here, or words...just enjoy life every day.

Oh, that is so sad about that door. :-( I know you would have treasured it. And I love your word of the year!
Your stitching area is so charming and delightful, light and bright, and filled with special memories and mementos. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Thank you, Pam!
House or needle. They are both gorgeous. Thank you for the opportunity. Love your stitching.
Thank you for sharing. My word for the year is grateful. I am grateful that I have a house of friends that I can share my love of needle and thread crafts.
I'm grateful for those things, too!
I really enjoyed the tour of your creative spaces in your house. It’s always fun to see how others set things up. I have had a word of the year for many years. This year it is “strength”. And it is based on the fact that I know my strength comes from the Lord ❤️

Courage is a beautiful word, and I love how you have made a list of the ways that you can show it in 2021. I'm hoping you have lots of opportunities to practice your word this year!
Love your grandparents front door…priceless! Your craft room is very cool. Love idea of valances. Wonderful story of the lady who had the doors.
Thanks so much, Joan!

Thank you, Beth!
My word this year is hope!! I loved your Craft Room Tour. Thank you for sharing.
I hope your 2021 is full of hope!
House and needle...I just recently heard of the word of the year...I have chosen the word "hope"...
I love your flosstubes....
Hope is a great word - very positive and forward-focused. :-)

I love your “word” of the year. It reminds me of having words of affirmations! You are such a positive personality and I love seeing your videos.
Thanks so much, Julie!
Even before we were confined to the house, I took up my needle for the first time in almost 30 years! I am a knitter with a capital K, as well as a spinner. I don't really do resolutions, but my word of the year this year is Useful. Above all, I wish to be truly useful in this world.
That's a great word and I've never heard is used as a word of the year. I love it!
I love the Quaker Christmas one!!!!
Thanks, Kathy - it's fun to work on!

I think a phrase of the year is also nice, and I love that one!

I have those kinds of patterns, too. :-)
Oh, your craft room is awesome! I love what you did with your grandmother’s front door. Thanks so much for showing us around.
Thank you, Lyn!
Hi Sheri! This is Lori from Utah. Thanks for another wonderful video! I love seeing inside the fun crafty rooms in your house. Thank you also for your warm hospitality when I visited the Loopy Ewe...best knitting & yarn store EVER! I'm so glad we stopped by.
Hi Lori! Sure was fun to meet you, and I'm going to count on meeting up again at Shepherd's Bush one day! :-)

Thanks for watching, Judith!
You have a wonderful space!!! I call my craft room my Happy Room because everything in it makes me happy!
I like that name for your craft room! Maybe instead of just saying I have a Happy Wall, I should say I have a Happy Room!
This is my third year to have a word of the year: thankful, grace, and this year gratitude.
I love all three of those, Julie!
Loved your craft room! So many treasures and years of fulfilling hobbies. Thank you for taking us on a tour. ❤️
Thanks for watching, Tracey!

I love NEEDLE arts! It is fun to stitch a HOUSE. I do have yearly goals and a Scripture verse for the year.
Wow! Your craft room is A.amazing with the huge windows supplying the always valuable natural light!! Your office is gorgeous, too! Thx for sharing!! Needle
Thanks so much, Connie!
Thank you for the tour. What a great space you have to craft in. I have serious floss cupboard envy!
Congratulations on reaching 6,000 subscribers!! I love the pattern with the house. I don’t do resolutions or a word of the year, but if I were to chose a word of the year I think it would grace. I am always mindful of God’s Grace and at the same time we should also show grace to others. I enjoyed your stitching room tour; it is always fun to be abler to place people in their environment when they are stitching. I love, love the fabric box that has the blue morning glories on it as I have never seen one quite like that. It is so pretty. Love your red polka dot storage and the thread cabinet. So wonderful. Adding hooks to the doors is a great idea and would double your space. I am totally envious of all of the beautiful space that you have in your craft room; so adorable and such a nice work space. Love your cat pincushion.
Thank you, Pam! And I love your thought's on the word grace. It is a wonderful word for a year's focus!
Needle. Loved seeing your crafty areas. It's always fun to see how other people set things up. Thanks for sharing!
Totally agree. I wish more people would do tours!
Always love to see your beautiful stitching! Thank you so much for sharing your workspace and storage with us.
Thanks for watching, Ginny!
I LOVE your craft room. So bright and cheery and so eclectic!!
NEEDLE AND HOUSE IS MY ENTRY!! My word for this year is JOY!! Once again I enjoyed visiting with you and your beautiful WIPS!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2021!!
I used Joy for my word of the year one year. I loved focusing on it!
Such a fun tour!
Thanks for watching!
Needle, house, My you are working on some amazing projects. No resolutions or words of the year. Loved your tours. So much to see and so many awesome ideas
Thanks for watching, Debi!
Forgot to tell you that I love your craft room with all the windows. Wish that some day have a room big like your room. Enjoy seeing your office, floss closet, where you video tape and all the pictures on the wall that you did cross stitch. Have a good week.
Thanks for watching, Janada!
I like to stitch with a gold-plated needle and Little House patterns are some of my favorites.
I do not make specific resolutions, but I have decided to make sure I do something that brings me joy every day this year. I don't want to wait until all the chores, etc. are done before I stitch, read, spend time with friends, or play a game.
That's a great decision for your year - I love it!
Sheri, oh my gosh your office and craft room is AWESOME! You are so blessed! I love the light you have in the craft room. What are in the drawers of your big big cabinet? What a treasure that piece is. Also what are the cute little “kindness” knit cuties you showed? I loved those!!! Wow, and all the beautiful cross stitch you’ve done! Amazing space for all your crafts. I just retired, and I am in process of turning one of our upstairs bedrooms into my cross stitch studio and it’s been so much fun! I’m even more inspired now from viewing your video. Thanks so much for sharing! Oh my! And that door table of your grandparents!
Have a good week and I eagerly await your next floss tube! Your floss tube is my favorite!
Hi Karen! Most of the drawers in the big cabinet all hold a different color of wool for my wool applique projects. A couple of the drawers hold empty project bags for future knitting projects. And the Kindness Monster pattern can be found on Ravelry. I just changed the pattern slightly by making mine striped so I could add more colors in. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/a-little-kindness-monster
Needle or house. I love your craft area! I don’t do resolutions or word of the year. I do like the idea of a word of the year.
Needle House Thank you for your flosstubes. I learn so much from you. I LOVE the library card idea. Your flosstubes are fun and educational. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching, Connie!
Congrats on finishing your mittens...it's just never too late to stitch what you love...my favorite needle size is 24....we have all spent too much time in the house this year...Love your craft spaces....thanks for inviting us over!
Thanks for watching the tour!
I'm from Costa Rica. Thanks You for showing us your room. It's just amazing.
Pura vida!
Thank you for watching, Geannette!
Thanks for sharing your craft room! What a great area to have friends over. Always enjoy your videos Sheri!!
Thanks, Beth - it is a fun area for that!
Your Christmas Quaker is stunning! My word for the year is embrace. We have changes coming for our family and I want to embrace all of it. Needle Thanks for the fun tour!
I think that is a great word for managing expectations and going with the flow. Good luck with the coming year!
The tour of your craft space was so wonderful, like seeing were individuals craft and sew. I have a word for the year and this years word is joy. Like the idea of a necklace to remind me of the word. Needle and house.
I used the word Joy one year - loved focusing on that the whole year. I kept a notebook by my bed and wrote down something that brought my JOY that day (or ways that I shared Joy with others that day).
House. Needle. And I have tried Resolutions, but they never really persisted. I have 2 friends who choose words of the year, so I jumped on that bandwagon this year - and I LOVE it. I think I should stitch my word too. It is ‘Faithful’. I want to be faithful to my goals, and I want to remember to be ‘Faith Filled’. It has helped me so much, and we’re only 3ish weeks into the year! My sister gifted me with a t’shirt with it on it. Really wonderful practice.
Love that you're doing a word of the year for the first time! And how great that you have two friends who can be supportive and help to keep you accountable!
Great video. My word for the year is Joy. The house is a pattern I have wanted to stitch. The tour of your craft room brought me JOY!!
I'm so glad I could be part of your JOY year for a few minutes, today!
Thank you for your time and positivity. I like your Summer House projects. Needle. The library cards are great, as I am a former librarian.
Thank you for watching, Anne!
So sad Sajou closed, hopefully only temporary. Lovely podcast and your samplers are so beautiful. Needle and house. I don’t do resolutions because you never know how the year will play out. I do a word every year, this year is hope!!
I love the word HOPE!
My mother and I just decided our word for this year is "Patience". Both my parents are in a nursing home and we are learning patience. I will be so excited when I can go in to see them again. My needle and cross stitching a house has been my therapy.
Wishing you much peaceful patience this year (and not too many instances where you need to practice it - ha!)
I loved the tour of your crafting areas. I picked faith as my word of the year which I am trying for the first time this year. Joy is having a needle in my hand at all times when in my house!
Faith is a great word to focus on. I hope you have fun making it a part of your 2021!
Thanks so much for the tour ... what beautifully organized rooms. Can only be inspired in such environments !
Thank you, Joanne!
Needle and House! Loving the word Idea! Being more "Mindful" has been on my mind. Mindful what I say, what I do and what I think. You are such an inspiration to me and really love your style, I see that I have ordered several of the projects you are doing. Your work is stunning!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment, Melissa! I love the word mindful - it makes me think of slowing down and appreciating the things around me.
Love your office ..... that is excellent storage for your cross stitch supplies. Your craft room is amazing. Thank you for the inspiring tour!.
No resolutions for me going forward. My word for this year is Hope.
Needle and House !!
I love the word Hope. I hope you have a very "hopeful" or "Hope Full" year, Deb!
I do not do new year's resolutions or word of the year. I always enjoy seeing your cross stitch finishes and WIPS, very lovely. Needle
Thank you for sharing your house. Love the big cabinet and little items that make it your happy place. My word this year is Fearless reminding me trust and fear not. Enjoy your stitching and tips. Needle.
Fearless - that sounds strong and capable and also peaceful, when you add in the word Trust. I like it.
Needle, house ! All your stitching is gorgeous !! Thank you Jennifer McMillan
Thank you, Jennifer!
What a great treat your tour was. I just organized my craft/sewing room this week and love to see what other women do. Beautiful space.
I always love seeing other spaces, too!
Needle and house. Thanks for your lovely video. I like the idea of word of the year. And stitch a little pillow with it as a reminder. That’s so lovely. Stay safe. Best wishes, Bettina
Thank you, Bettina!
Sheri, you have many of the same tastes as I do. I, too, am fond of, and own, those large beautiful works. Never have a bunch or finishes but just thoroughly enjoy working on my needlework. I wanted to thank you for you craft room tour. Thanks, too, for taking the time to explain why individual pieces were meaningful for you. 😷
Thanks so much for watching, Janice!
Loved the tour of the craft room and all your special treasures. WE are in the process of moving and I am having to pack up my craft room which has taken me days... what a job!!
That is a job, for sure. Good luck with the move!!
House. Needle.Loved your tours and the window dressings from hanker chiefs and rulers! loved your floss cabinet and especially Quaker Christmas (put it on my list) so enjoy your floss tube. I just started a word for the year in 2020 and I pray and ask the Lord what does He think my word should be after sharing what I am working on or challenges and hopes. In 2020 my word was "transform" and this year I was impressed by the Lord that my word for 2021 is to be "intentional". I felt like in my life I am to cross into the promise land and that cannot be done without being intentional. When Gods people crossed over they built Little Rock alters to memorialize what the had done crossing over. So it really meant a lot when you shared signing your word for the year pin cushion!
I love your word for the year. Being intentional in all that you do will make for many blessings and lessons this year, I'm sure!
6k subscribers! This is amazing, congratulations! This year is the first year I have chosen a word. My word is authenticity. I am working to bring my authentic self in all areas of my life instead of having so many boxes/versions of myself. At work I’m one person. Home another, etc. your room tour was great to see since I am looking to update mine. Happy stitching!
That sounds like a very worthy goal for 2021. Hard to do, but interesting to contemplate!
I’m not a resolution maker and I never heard the concept of a word for the year but it’s interesting. Instead, I think of how I can improve upon myself like my attitude, being more grateful and the like. I enjoyed seeing the organization of your crafts and your craft room. The natural light and scenery you have in that room are so inviting. What a lovely place to be creative. My needle and my house have been a saving grace during quarantine. Stay safe & healthy
Your thoughts on how you can improve really are like having a word of the year (but maybe yours are "intentions of the year" instead?) I like it.
Now that was the most eye candy I’ve seen in a long time. That basement is major craft room goals! Thank you for sharing
Thanks, Catherine! :-)
Great finishes! Loved the update on your progress and to see your craft spaces! Every House needs a Needle!
Love your antique cabinets. You are very organized. Oh, my! LOVE your craft room!
Thank you, Terry! We love older furniture pieces - they bring lots of history into the house, and it's fun to repurpose them. Also - I tidied up the craft room before shooting. It's not always that organized!!
Needle and House. You deserve all the subscribers you are a pleasure to listen to. Always interesting. X
What a lovely thing to say. Thank you for watching, Kath!
Wow! Your floss cabinet is wonderful and your craft area is magnificent! Happy place indeed! I love the antique handkerchiefs on the windows....I have several from my dad and I just couldn’t find any project that I liked, but window dressing is beautiful. I do have a sewing room that I love, so I am blessed also. I do not make resolutions anymore, but I do like the word for the year and I picked Joy. Thank you for sharing your happy spaces with us. Blessings and take care. Needle
Joy is a great word - I used that a couple of years ago and really enjoyed focusing on that all year. I hope 2021 brings you much joy, and many opportunities to share joy with others, Kristin!
Really enjoyed your flosstube video. I'm returning to stitching after many years and love how everything is so different now. I don't make resolutions for the new year but this year I am choosing a word. It is sort of two words... but my word is Passion. I want to Be Passionate every day about the things i choose to do. I have felt so melancholy and powerless this last year and I am choosing to change that this year!! I think your silk threads would be lovely hanging on the inside of the doors of the cabinet. What a wonderful space you have created. Thank you for sharing!! needle. house.
Totally understand that feeling from 2020, Judi. Passion is a great, uplifting word to focus on, to make changes in 2021!
