Oh Sarah, great finishes and progress- The backstitch just makes the nativity. It has been so fun to see you progress through it and through your #funfor502024sal! And Charlotte 💗oh my heart! So precious! Thank you again for your kind words. I'm so thankful technology has made the world a little smaller and easier to engage : ) Always enjoy your videos and look forward to each one. Thank you for creating and sharing! Happy stitching!
Thank you Amy! I love how the nativity has just come alive with the backstitch. Proof that sometimes it’s worth the effort. I love that technology means I have met so many lovely stitchers I never would have met otherwise. Hope you’re going to have some lovely stitches this weekend.
I love having flowers in my house! Your daffodils are so pretty! Thank you for sharing your fully finished crossstitch pieces with us. I love the nativity WIP that you are working on!
Hi Sarah! Great to see your stitching as always! Nice to see your handling your start momentum well! And I love the nativity - the backstitch made a huge difference to the picture!
Loved Charlotte’s visit with us. The advent calendar is really looking fabulous. You will have it finished by Christmas. Here is a little ditty I would sing to my children at school: Yellow yellow daffodils, dancing in the sun, yellow yellow daffodils tell us spring has come. Daffodils are Nancy’s favorite flower.
What a cute little song! Daffodils just make me smile. I love the earliest spring flowers here. The daffodils, the snowdrops and the crocuses. It’s a little too early for garden tulips but I do love to buy them in a bunch. They just brighten the place up.
Thank you for the tip for finishing the Tiny towns…that finish is so lovely and exactly what I want for finishing mine..I’ve just done Seaside Tiny Town & now working on Blooming Tiny Town! And Charlotte is such a sweetheart, she made me laugh when she said about stealing daddy’s scone ❤
It’s good to be able to share information about things like the boards when we can. I have big hearted tiny town and seaside tiny town in my stash, so I’m looking forward to seeing them mounted on that piece too. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.
Lovely video . Lovely to see Charlotte. Me thinks she’s a chatterbox! The nativity is looking fabulous now the backstitching is in place. Well done you. See you in a couple of weeks. Happy stitching ❤❤
Your wips are lovely Sarah. Charlotte I could just hug you, she reminds me of Thomas when he was that age. I have the Stitch rovia pattern Mind that was a Sal many years ago. I think I need to start it. Lovely flosstube as always ❤️
Hi Debbie. I didn’t know that Stitchrovia piece was a Sal. Maybe before I know about Emma Congdon. I’m looking forward to getting to it in March. Maybe you’ll stitch along with it and we’ll both finally get it done?!
Hi I have found you and will be binge watching your videos over the weekend. Your work is amazing thank you for sharing. Until next time take care and happy stitching ❤
I'm so pleased you and Charlotte had a successful craft day together ❤ 🙌 😊 I love the postcard idea, I think it's grande! I've been buying a few lovely card decks to make flosscards with! Just fun! I don't quilt but I'd make a stab at creating your 50 bag, although mine would be 70 for next year!
You should definitely try making the 70 bag. Do all the fun things to celebrate 😉 It’s so lovely to hear from you Rebecca. Thank you for all your sweet comments. I loved them.
What a difference the backstitching makes on the manger scene! Looks great. Many kudos as that backstitching can .be tedious work. There are warm blues and greens as well as cool. Sheri of Colorado Cross Stitcher did a very informative Floss Tube episode - the most recent one. I will also fall behind on Gilmoreisms. It is so special to find a happy stitch.
I saw Sherri’s great video. She does so many great informative posts, doesn’t she? I don’t seek backstich out, but I don’t dread it either and a piece like this proves that it definitely has its place in our stitching repertoire. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment Diane.
Happy to spend some time with you! I love waiting your Nativity grow and the details come to life! Don’t apologize for sharing it, we love it!! Also love the positivity finish, that will be beautiful in Charlottes room!
Great to see you tonight Sarah & wonderful to see Charlotte fully recovered & in such good spirits. I love how the back stitching has brought the nativity to life. Positivity Lifts looks great framed. I'm almost finished my secret stitch for my niece, my friend is going to help me turn it into a cushion, then it'll be back to my MFE pieces. Though that Stitchrovia piece might be calling my name as well as Carmen's Jacob SAL. Fortunately the evenings are getting brighter so I can stitch longer in daylight. Thanks for the information about the boards. Love how the strings look on the board. Take care, best wishes from 🇮🇪
Thanks Anne Marie. There are just too many things calling for our attention, aren’t there? You can’t NOT do Jacob’s sleeper Sal and the Stitchrovia piece is only wee. Come on, you can do it! I’m a bad influence, aren’t I?
Great job on your finishes! The Advent Calendar is really coming along now. Can't wait to see it finished. Nice to see Charlotte make an appearance. Happy stitching!
Another lovely floss tube ❤ your nativity is looking gorgeous. Thank you for the information on the finishing board. I am so jealous of all the choices in USA so it's good to know about something over here 😊
I know Lynne. It seems so easy to just pick up all sorts of things in the US. That’s why I love it when other share what they find here, and 8 do m6 best to share it if I can. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing the etsy shop for that finishing piece, it looks perfect for finishing my cross eyed cricket collection seasons stitches. Definitely think you'll get that Advent calendar finished this year.
Lovely video Sarah, and great to see Charlotte - she made me laugh (there were boys in the park and I ate some of daddy’s scones! 😂). Lovely that you managed to do some crafting together. Never tire of seeing your nativity project; it’s seems to be coming on in leaps and bounds now. Positivity Lifts looks amazing! Love all your string finishes too. Keep up the good work on your 50 for 50 ; I’m all admiration for you finding the time! 😀. God bless .
She always steals the show. Great that you’re joining us for the Ten Merry Sailors. It will be nice for you to finish it. I wonder what your chart will be this weekend.
I like lacing too Karen. I don’t mind glueing for the final step on these types of ornamental pieces but lacing is definitely a better job for me when trying to get things all straight and even.
The Nativity scene is looking very good Sarah. I'm so pleased you're going to stitch it all even though it's a slog😮. Charlotte really made me laugh bless her. I'm sure you're thankful half term is over though!😂 Your ff pieces look really effective and perfect on those stands. I think that a Leap Year's Day start is a good idea as it ought to be marked in some way. I'll have to look in my stash.
I'm so excited to be starting the Historical Sampler mystery tomorrow. I am using my own floss and look forward to seeing what we will be stitching! Thanks for the recommendation!
Hi Sarah, so lovely to spend some time with you as I stitched. Lovely to see sweet Charlotte making an appearance too. You’re doing so well with your 50 for 50. You’ve stitched some gorgeous things. Happy stitching 😊
Your finishes are beautiful! The string stitches look amazing on the board you finished it on. I like the idea of using magnets to change out for the seasons. I've done bell pulls for my seasons. They're quite a bit larger than yours lol. So far I've done Stoney Creek's Winter banner and a lovely pansy bell pull on black aida that I have up during the spring/summer months. I need to find an autumn one that I like to fill in that time period each year. I love your 50 starts for 50th birthday so far. I look forward to seeing more of your choices! Take care!
Bell pulls are a lovely idea for long stitches. I have a folk flowers piece by Satsuma Street that would look great finished that way, if I ever stitch it. I hope you find a suitable autumn one to round out your collection.
With all of the amazing designers out there, I'll likely have the problem of deciding which one to do once I start looking! That is one thing we are blessed with in our craft...an abundance of talent to choose from that gives every taste lots of choices!
Your Nativity is really coming to life. Miss Charlotte is always a special addition to your Flosstube, she simply spreads such joy and really likes stealing her Dad's scones. In the states we don't do half-terms, the kids get breaks for Christmas until after New Year and Spring break is that the same as half-term?
Yes, I think spring break is your equivalent to our half-term for this time of year. We also have half term at Halloween and in May. And yes, she loves to tricky daddy and steal his scones!
Thank you sweet Sarah. The advent calendar is really coming to life and I’m feeling very motivated to keep it going to completion. Not rush, but just stick with it.
Beautiful finish❤. I think you and Sally are doing great with all your Starts. You both are getting lots and lots of stitching done. Love following the journey and joining in when I have the patterns. It was so sweet of Charlotte to say hi to us all. Happy Stitching and take care. ❤
Your starts are so tempting!!! Thank you for enabling my shopping! Hello, Miss Charlotte! You are growing into such a beautiful young lady. It was lovely to see you with your Mom.
Loved your flosstube and that you're doing 50 for your 50th! How fun! I did 60 starts for my 60th last year and I so enjoyed the journey. So glad you shouted out Renewing Stitches, she's got a lovely channel and I so agree about her soothing voice. You have a very soothing, calming voice as well😊
Thank you so much Beth. I really need to catch up with your channel. I’d love to watch back and see your 60 starts. It takes a lot of preparation, doesn’t it? But it’s worth it for the fun!
Hi Sarah! So sorry I have been missing in action. I got behind with all the WIP parades and Flossmas floss tubes, and am just now hopefully getting caught up. I really like your String finishes, so cute. The wood piece you found for them is perfect. I love the way you are telling us what subscriber provided prompts each project meets. Your newest Valentine small stitch is so cute. Wow, all that backstitching on the manger scene is phenomenal, what a necessary stitch for this piece. I so adore this piece and it never becomes old. Looks like you will have a finish yet this year. Is Charlotte excited about the advent calendar? Your 50 bag from Roz is stunning. Wow, your color piece has really progressed this time. I was also not impressed with my Art teaching in school and it was one of my most dreaded classes. Sherry goes into quite a bit of detail on cool and warm colors, color theory, etc. on her latest floss tube which I found very interesting. I love your red piece by Lila Studio's, so very cute and I am loving the different shades of red together. Walter and I have been passing the mucus crud back and forth between us since Christmas, just get feeling better and he comes back down with it. Mine is sitting at the back of my throat currently again. Walter has turned 3 almost a month ago and we are working on toilet training. I remember this phase with my daughter all too well and will be glad when it is over. I bought him a 24-piece puzzle for part of his Christmas gift and he solved it the very first time on his own with only 3 little hints and now puts it together in less than 5 minutes consistently and told me that I need to buy him a bigger, harder puzzle. That child is too danged smart for his own good. It is probably a good thing that he is going to be homeschooled since I have a feeling he would get bored in traditional school. It was lovely to see Charlotte today. Take care and happy crafting. Dawn in Texas
Hi Dawn. I swear young children are just germ factories. It’s just cycle after cycle of mucus and snot. Charlotte is the same. Thankfully, the latest versions have been easier to handle and not made her so ill. It will be good when we get a little more outdoor weather to shake off the viruses. I hope you and Walter can shake it soon too. He sure sounds like a bright spark, which is great for him, but hard work for everyone else keeping him challenged. We don’t have much homeschooling here. It’s very rare and so we don’t have the kinds of support and set up for it that there seems to be in the US. I wouldn’t have the first clue how to go about it and honestly, don’t think I’m cut out to spend every day, all day with Miss C. She needs more than me too. Anyway, whoever is homeschooling Walter best be on their toes, it sure sounds like he’s going to keep them there 😉
Lovely finishes :) I’m also working on the gilmoreisms Sal but positivity rules has taken over my stitching atm so Iv not even started part 7 yet haha 😂
I’m so looking forward to starting Positivity Rules, but I hate to leave Gilmoreisms too. Just so many things to stitch ! Hope you enjoy your Positivity Rules and get back to part 7 soon!
Hi Charlotte, it was lovely seeing you again! That's a lovely way to finish the Lizzie Kate Strings! What do you mean by washers? I looked it up it means closing ring? But how do you use them? 🤔 Have a great stitching week! 🌷
Hi Joanita! Yes, the washers are a hardware item. You use them with nuts and bolts etc. For finishing cross stitch so that the pieces can be interchangeable you put magnets on your mount piece and then you glue washers to your stitched piece meaning you can magnetise the stitched piece to you board but it’s not permanent and can be swapped out for another piece. Priscilla at Stitching with the Housewives was the first person I saw to do it. It means you only need to buy one frame piece per set of stitching. You just have to be sure that your washers will attract to your magnet. I think they need to be zinc coated washers. Hope so, because that’s what I ordered😉. I can show it again on my channel when I have it done.
@@sewmesarah Ah, I get it! That way you don't have to use the double amount of magnets, right? That's very clever! I would love to see it when you have it done.
That Be Mine piece turned out so delicate, so elegant, so cute ... lovely!!! I did not not that we can tag on ig for any start, I will do it on my next start. But you are doing quite impressive for such an ambitious goal, I must admit, when I first heard 50 starts I felt intimidated. :) ps. Please do not share the list of the 40 remaining starts, because it is a bit like a stitching series, we are waiting for the next episode. Happy stitching!
🤣that made me giggle Mihaela. I promise not to publish all 40 remaining in advance. And yes, please feel free to celebrate along with us with any start.
Every time you show your nativity piece, it makes me think of my very favourite nativity, He Came Down, which also makes me think of Charlotte: th-cam.com/video/bAhzI6bI5WI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JZhAEPQXrrEkhmGp
Great to see your starts and finishes 😊 I’ve been tempted with the board I saw the post from Sami but couldn’t quite make my mind up 🤔 now I’ve seen yours I will get one (or two 😂) lovely to see Charlotte again xx
Any visit from Miss Charlotte is always welcomed!❤
Darling Sarah, you will never disappoint! You do you! This is your year❤ We are celebrating you😊
Charlotte is so darling! So Happy! Beautiful finishes and stitching! Thank you for sharing!♥
Charlotte loves to see herself on video and chat with people so she’s a perfect candidate for TH-cam!
Oh Sarah, great finishes and progress- The backstitch just makes the nativity. It has been so fun to see you progress through it and through your #funfor502024sal! And Charlotte 💗oh my heart! So precious!
Thank you again for your kind words. I'm so thankful technology has made the world a little smaller and easier to engage : ) Always enjoy your videos and look forward to each one. Thank you for creating and sharing! Happy stitching!
Thank you Amy! I love how the nativity has just come alive with the backstitch. Proof that sometimes it’s worth the effort. I love that technology means I have met so many lovely stitchers I never would have met otherwise. Hope you’re going to have some lovely stitches this weekend.
Always fun to see Charlotte and her enthusiasm! Love watching your 50 starts! Your advent piece is beautiful!
Thank you Darlene.
Love the visit from Charlotte. She's adorable. And your finishes are beautiful.
Thank you Linda.
I love having flowers in my house! Your daffodils are so pretty! Thank you for sharing your fully finished crossstitch pieces with us. I love the nativity WIP that you are working on!
Thank you so much for watching and taking time to leave a sweet comment.
I truly enjoy your video Sarah and so happy to see Charlotte! Your Nativity is so so stunning, just love it so much!!!! 💚
Thank you so much Tina!
Hi Sarah! Great to see your stitching as always! Nice to see your handling your start momentum well! And I love the nativity - the backstitch made a huge difference to the picture!
Thanks Dany. The starts are going well and not too overwhelming yet.
Loved Charlotte’s visit with us. The advent calendar is really looking fabulous. You will have it finished by Christmas.

Thank you so much Alli.
Hi Sarah lovely video,great finish lovely to see Charlotte,lots of wonderful stitching,Thankyou for sharing🇳🇿❤️🪡
Thanks Donna, Charlotte does love to make an occasional appearance.
Thank you for the tip for finishing the Tiny towns…that finish is so lovely and exactly what I want for finishing mine..I’ve just done Seaside Tiny Town & now working on Blooming Tiny Town! And Charlotte is such a sweetheart, she made me laugh when she said about stealing daddy’s scone ❤

Lovely video . Lovely to see Charlotte. Me thinks she’s a chatterbox! The nativity is looking fabulous now the backstitching is in place. Well done you. See you in a couple of weeks. Happy stitching ❤❤
Oh she is most definitely a chatterbox. She starts at 06.30 and doesn’t stop until 20.00!! And to think they told us she might not talk! 🤣🤣🤣
Love the postcard idea and all the stitching too as usual. ❤
Thank you Zeina. The postcards are a nice tidy way to label your work.
Beautiful Charlotte! ❤❤❤❤❤ You make my soul smile X ❤
Thank you. Charlotte is quite a character!
Your wips are lovely Sarah. Charlotte I could just hug you, she reminds me of Thomas when he was that age. I have the Stitch rovia pattern Mind that was a Sal many years ago. I think I need to start it. Lovely flosstube as always ❤️
Hi Debbie. I didn’t know that Stitchrovia piece was a Sal. Maybe before I know about Emma Congdon. I’m looking forward to getting to it in March. Maybe you’ll stitch along with it and we’ll both finally get it done?!
Sounds like a plan x
Big correction. The one I have is quotes to live by. It was re released for the charity mind and that is when I purchased it, brain fog here 😂
Loved catching up with you. Really enjoyed seeing you FFOs. I get to live vicariously through over people's!
🤣🤣🤣
Hi I have found you and will be binge watching your videos over the weekend. Your work is amazing thank you for sharing. Until next time take care and happy stitching ❤
Hi Patricia! Thanks so much for watching. It’s good to have other NI stitchers on board!
I'm so pleased you and Charlotte had a successful craft day together ❤ 🙌 😊
I love the postcard idea, I think it's grande! I've been buying a few lovely card decks to make flosscards with! Just fun!
I don't quilt but I'd make a stab at creating your 50 bag, although mine would be 70 for next year!

Thank you Tiffany. There’s light at the end of the tunnel for that nativity piece. It’s been kicking around since 2006!
Hi Sarah. Love the Dimensions stitch its looking very good with the blacksmithing added. Well done. Well done on your finishes. Great video. Xxx
Thank you Carol, the backstitching is really bringing it to life beautifully.
@sewmesarah You realised I meant back stitching not blacksmithing then!! Predictive text!!!
I watched Sally at your suggestion what a cute gall. Loved her!!!
So glad you popped over to watch Sally, Robyn. I really enjoy her channel too and it was really fun meeting her in person last October in London.
Great to see you tonight Sarah & wonderful to see Charlotte fully recovered & in such good spirits.
I love how the back stitching has brought the nativity to life.
Positivity Lifts looks great framed.
I'm almost finished my secret stitch for my niece, my friend is going to help me turn it into a cushion, then it'll be back to my MFE pieces. Though that Stitchrovia piece might be calling my name as well as Carmen's Jacob SAL.
Fortunately the evenings are getting brighter so I can stitch longer in daylight.
Thanks for the information about the boards. Love how the strings look on the board.
Take care, best wishes from 🇮🇪
Thanks Anne Marie. There are just too many things calling for our attention, aren’t there? You can’t NOT do Jacob’s sleeper Sal and the Stitchrovia piece is only wee. Come on, you can do it! I’m a bad influence, aren’t I?
Great job on your finishes! The Advent Calendar is really coming along now. Can't wait to see it finished. Nice to see Charlotte make an appearance. Happy stitching!
Thank you Judy. Yes the advent is definitely getting there. I’m so happy to see it taking shape now. Thanks for watching.
So good to see Charlotte! Enjoyed this so much! xoxo Chris
Thanks for watching my friend. I appreciate you taking time to comment too. Xx

Thank you Jean. Boys to play with and scones to eat. What more could a girl need? 🤣
@@sewmesarah
Hmmm?……..a bar of chocolate! 😀. Have a great weekend. 😉
Oh my gosh your manger stitch is beautiful! Good job!
Thank you Deborah, I’m so happy how it has turned out.
Charlotte totally stole the show Sarah..loved it…I am gonna join you on finishing my stitch in London piece in March 😊
She always steals the show. Great that you’re joining us for the Ten Merry Sailors. It will be nice for you to finish it. I wonder what your chart will be this weekend.
Will keep ya posted x
How lovely that you got so much fully finished and Charlotte was crafting too. What a win! I actually like to lace and only use glue rarely.
I like lacing too Karen. I don’t mind glueing for the final step on these types of ornamental pieces but lacing is definitely a better job for me when trying to get things all straight and even.
Great fun as always Sarah
Thanks for watching along Josie.
Well, that was a lovely visit! Until next time🤓
Thanks for stopping by!

I am enjoying the advent calendar piece and it definitely feel like it’s coming together now. Hope you find something fun to mark the leap year with.
I'm so excited to be starting the Historical Sampler mystery tomorrow. I am using my own floss and look forward to seeing what we will be stitching! Thanks for the recommendation!
Hope you’ve got your first release Kathy. I think it’s going to be so beautiful! I’m making a start this afternoon.
Hi Sarah, so lovely to spend some time with you as I stitched. Lovely to see sweet Charlotte making an appearance too. You’re doing so well with your 50 for 50. You’ve stitched some gorgeous things. Happy stitching 😊
Thank you so much Sally. There are so many beautiful things started, waiting to start, on wish lists …. So much 🤪😊
Your finishes are beautiful! The string stitches look amazing on the board you finished it on. I like the idea of using magnets to change out for the seasons. I've done bell pulls for my seasons.

No, those would be our school holidays. Half term is an extra week in the middle of each term - October, February and May.
@@RosClarkeCraft Thanks for the information.
Yes, I think spring break is your equivalent to our half-term for this time of year. We also have half term at Halloween and in May. And yes, she loves to tricky daddy and steal his scones!
I missed that Ros had replied to you Ava. Maybe I was wrong. Do you have Easter break as well as spring break? Or are they the same?
Easter and Spring break are the same.
I nearly gasped when I saw the Advent calendar with the back stitching. So very cute. Your finishes were amazing. Thanks for your wonderful company.
Thank you sweet Sarah. The advent calendar is really coming to life and I’m feeling very motivated to keep it going to completion. Not rush, but just stick with it.
Beautiful finish❤. I think you and Sally are doing great with all your Starts. You both are getting lots and lots of stitching done. Love following the journey and joining in when I have the patterns. It was so sweet of Charlotte to say hi to us all. Happy Stitching and take care. ❤
Thank you Ruth, it’s really fun having Sally to do this crazy thing with , and even more fun when you guys can join us too.
Your starts are so tempting!!! Thank you for enabling my shopping!
Hello, Miss Charlotte! You are growing into such a beautiful young lady. It was lovely to see you with your Mom.
Thanks Lisa, always happy to fill your stitchy shopping cart😉

I’m so looking forward to starting Positivity Rules, but I hate to leave Gilmoreisms too. Just so many things to stitch ! Hope you enjoy your Positivity Rules and get back to part 7 soon!
Hi Charlotte, it was lovely seeing you again!
That's a lovely way to finish the Lizzie Kate Strings! What do you mean by washers? I looked it up it means closing ring? But how do you use them? 🤔 Have a great stitching week! 🌷
Hi Joanita! Yes, the washers are a hardware item. You use them with nuts and bolts etc. For finishing cross stitch so that the pieces can be interchangeable you put magnets on your mount piece and then you glue washers to your stitched piece meaning you can magnetise the stitched piece to you board but it’s not permanent and can be swapped out for another piece. Priscilla at Stitching with the Housewives was the first person I saw to do it. It means you only need to buy one frame piece per set of stitching. You just have to be sure that your washers will attract to your magnet. I think they need to be zinc coated washers. Hope so, because that’s what I ordered😉. I can show it again on my channel when I have it done.
@@sewmesarah Ah, I get it! That way you don't have to use the double amount of magnets, right? That's very clever!
I would love to see it when you have it done.
That Be Mine piece turned out so delicate, so elegant, so cute ... lovely!!!
I did not not that we can tag on ig for any start, I will do it on my next start.
But you are doing quite impressive for such an ambitious goal, I must admit, when I first heard 50 starts I felt intimidated. :)
ps. Please do not share the list of the 40 remaining starts, because it is a bit like a stitching series, we are waiting for the next episode.
Happy stitching!
🤣that made me giggle Mihaela. I promise not to publish all 40 remaining in advance. And yes, please feel free to celebrate along with us with any start.

Thanks for watching.
Every time you show your nativity piece, it makes me think of my very favourite nativity, He Came Down, which also makes me think of Charlotte: th-cam.com/video/bAhzI6bI5WI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JZhAEPQXrrEkhmGp
I’d never seen this before Ros. It’s so lovely. Thanks for sharing the link.
What a moving nativity, I had not seen it before either but I have marked it for Christmas time.
Great to see your starts and finishes 😊 I’ve been tempted with the board I saw the post from Sami but couldn’t quite make my mind up 🤔 now I’ve seen yours I will get one (or two 😂) lovely to see Charlotte again xx
I’m so happy with the board, so I hope you like it too. It’s nice that you won’t have to paint it either.
