I love your openness and love how you keep it real! I also love to see everything both of you are working on! It gives me so many great ideas and makes me search designers I wouldn’t normally know.
I love your WIP parade. I have been contemplating buying the quilted witch pattern, but havent pulled the trigger yet. I do have the quilted scarecrow i havent started yet
Stephanie, you seem so much happier and radiant! I'm so here for it! You both have such gorgeous WIPs. I can't wait to see your journeys continue next year!
Thanks for sharing what you have been going thru. I wishing you a wonderful life going forward 😘💕 I love Merry Merry! I will be buying her for sure! The Garden Fairy will look fab on that fabric. What a great TH-cam name….. Psyche on Canvas 😂 Loving the 12 days of Christmas, it matches the style of Christmas tree I make for my granddaughter! Yes yes Stephanie, release The Vineyard! It reminds me of a painting. I really like it a lot😍🇵🇹
Ooooo I love a good long WIP Parade. And y'all have become one of my favorite channels to binge watch. Love visitin with yuns. Hugs and prayers for going through that separation hun 💝. Merry Christmas girls 🎄🎄🎄😘
I love your witch pieces, and what a wide variety you both show us. I love watching your sisterly relationship too. You remind me so much of myself and my sister, who passed away way too young at 33. Watching you makes me miss her a tiny bit less.
I've been thinking about doing a wip parade to start the new year. You two have been very inspiring to me. I'm also working on a master floss set, because of you two. I cant wait to see what you guys do. I have plans for 2 master sets. One working set so I don't have to kit up floss, and one for back up/overstock thread. My working master set is on floss drops. I've made all my drops through the 600s and have started putting floss on them. Stargazer is my favorite Mirabilia. I have plans to start it in March as my birthday start. Your more than welcome to stitch it with me. I know you both like to finish your own pieces. I recently found out that if you frame your own work, you can take it to Hobby Lobby and they'll put a paper backing and hardware on for only $3. They'll do it right then and there so you can watch. So worth it for a professional looking back. 🏁
I am cracking up at you Allison! You are like where are the children 😂😂going? I was thinking the same! 18 grandchildren I’m so shell shocked every time one of the kids go away on vacation because guess who gets them, MiMi does and I’m exhausted after they come home! Love love your wips ladies and yes to all of the Mirabilias! Always yes and I will be stitching our newest beauty as soon as my girl Mindy gets her and the bead pack in! ❤ Oh side note Stephanie it’s amazing to see the happiness on your face! I am happy for you!😊 send me that Witch 🧙 lol. 🇺🇸
🎉🎉 YES ENJOY UR SINGLE ERA QUEEN!!! I'm so excited for u to be able to decorate ur home to ur preferences and enjoy a less stressful life! I can def relate to going into a cross stitch renaissance after a breakup sending love to u ❤
My dad and my son’s father are both born on the 23rd and my son was almost born on the 23rd, but decided he wanted his own bday and came 3 hours before 😅 it’s a full week of celebrating for us! 🎉 excited for the WIP parade 🤩 I’m sorry to hear about the stress of life stuff, man that is tough when you have kids, but take it from this single gal, there are lots of perks to it as well! ❤
Glad to hear you’re doing okay, majority life events are hard but you are strong and will come through just fine. ❤ I forgot that you had so many Miras started! I love your diverse taste in projects! 🇨🇦🇺🇸
I saw the video length and thought yessss this is going to be so fun to watch! I'm sorry to hear about the stress of life stuff but your relief and joy are evident so I'm happy for you 💗💗🇮🇹
🏁 Perfect length video to enjoy while wrapping Christmas gifts! Huge hugs, Stephanie! You can hear the change in your voice and uplifted spirit! Better days are ahead for you! ♥ Allison, send me your Wichelt witch UFO and I'll finish it for you and send it back! Then I'll stitch one for me :) It's darling! 2025 is going to be a GREAT year of finishing!!
🇺🇲 my brother's birthday is December 24th. But I can say my mother made sure his birthday was separate from Christmas and that his birthday present was just as special as the rest of us kids. Now that it is just me and him we take each other out to dinner for our birthdays and do a small personal gift for Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone ❤
I combined all of my DMC into a full set and out of individual bags. The amount of 310 skeins I had when I was done was INSANE!! You don’t really notice how many of certain numbers you have until you free the floss!
Stephanie!! I'm so sorry it will be a long road... but it's better to be happy! My ex was the same way with my stitching and I can say my real partner... he feels very different and enjoys my art just as much as I do! Funny because I have such variation in style I put them where ever I feel and it just works 🙃 Happy stitching and love both your wips! 🇺🇸
Woo! 547 stitches done on Stitch 4 Pride during your parade! 🏳️🌈 Also, here’s me as a middle aged adult realizing my birthday (Jan 4) is part of the 12 days of Christmas! It had never crossed my mind before 😂 Great WIP parade!
In cozy mystery book covers, you often see a pretty beach scene and then something like dripping blood off the letters or a knife through the pie or whatever.
I love the editing "breaks" that coincide with husband talk ;) OMG KITTY!!!! HAI! He can come sit on my lap! It's not Frankie's Fault! YOU put it on the floor! OF COURSE he's going to sit on it! Allison---Are you watching/going to watch the new Dexter? 🏁
I completely understand the freedom feeling. My situation is quite different in that instead of divorce my husband passed away BUT my WIP number has drastically increased because I don’t have someone asking “you’re starting another one?!”…the ordering also increased. That has got to get reigned in however! 😬

I hope you're doing okay Stephanie, thinking of you it can be such a stressful time. Sending Hugs. Your WIP Parade was so amazing!! I had a question for you, I also have Elizabeth and the Lavender Sky and you said that you turned it into a full coverage. Are you using just one color to fill in the blank space or are you doing different colors? Thanks! And yes, love Laura's stitching vibes too.
@CrossStitchtheGlobe that sounds good. I've just done the upper left corner . I'm going to think about that, it's such a beautiful design and really unique.
Allison...what county is your future Ex from? I was in your shoes 22 years ago..after 26 years of just giving myself up...I finally decided to move on. May you be as happily successful in Life as I have been. And Stephanie - you could always just stand a couple of finished pieces on the back of your couch...just to show off!
I want to do Cinderella by Mira on a super black fabric, hela by live and dye la. When you look at the floss ring, do you think it’ll work? I don’t want to buy the fabric if it’s a no. Thx!!
Love you both! In my 50's and still loving life! Really it is just getting better There is hope
