Skater’s Waltz.. lots of memories. As a kid we skated at a mountain lake open to the public. Music, hot chocolate available, really great. When Skater’s Waltz played, my Dad would grab my hands and off we would go, as fast and smooth as we could be. He would be 102 this month, now always skating with me when I hear that music. 🥰
@@trudymeyer430 Trudy…my father used to take me skating on Saturday evening when my siblings were dating but I was too young. Your message brought back that memory so clearly…thank you. We were both lucky to skate on the arm of our fathers. 🦉🎵⛸️⛸️
70 starts! Wow Karen, that’s amazing. Well done. I absolutely love how your owl is majestically presiding over your flosstube happenings. Glorious. Loved hearing about all your community connections. It’s so wonderful!
@@sewmesarah thank you so much Sarah. The year was great fun. I do more smalls than you so I think that is how it added up so high. Have a glorious January. 🦉🧵🪡👑
Your stained glass owl looks just stunning in that spot, I love it!! And I'm glad you're enjoying the pattern! 😊 Barred owls are strictly carnivorous and will eat anything from frogs to squirrels to snakes to mice! The blueberries are just for fun alliteration! 😃Thanks for this awesome WIP parade Karen!!
@@mudpuppystitchery aha…they don’t eat blueberries…thank you for clarifying. Yes I am enjoying your pattern and would happily stitch for you if you have more ideas for patterns than time to make the models. Thank you for your kind words about my stained glass owl. 🦉🧵🪡❤️
@@TheStitchingOwl My favorite project right now is Summer Quaker because I am doing it on 20-count Ivory aida 2 over 1 and the stitches are so very tiny. Thanks for asking me. Happy Stitching.
Thank you for the lovely video, Karen. I love seeing your owl on the wall behind you. Brava on the piano piece! Made me want to put on my ice skates! ❤❤❤
@@SarahsStitchySpot I don’t think you have a backyard rink in California….when I was young my father made us a rink every year. I am not a good skater but it was fun. You are very welcome…everyone wants me to name the owl now and I think that would be fun. Take care. 🦉🧵🪡❤️
@@sharonmcdonnell9410 Sharon, thank you for telling me this. Something on my bucket list is to see an owl in nature. Perhaps your husband already has. Take care. 🦉❤️
@@donnamccaffrey4364 I can’t quite pick out a name for him yet…does it make sense to you that I am thinking of make names? Happy New Year to you too. 🦉🧵🪡🍾
I just finished your wonderful WIP parade. It took a couple of days and now that we are 'snowed in', it's a great time to finish. I enjoyed hearing about each and every one! Thank you for preparing and sharing your stitching, friend ❤
Love seeing all of your WIPs, Karen! I don’t have an exact number of how many stitched pieces I have out, but I’d say I have around 20-30 that are permanently on display, and then I change out my seasonal and holiday decor often. Right now with my winter display, I have maybe 10 stitched pieces on display. Winter is probably the season that I have the fewest stitched pieces for.
The owl is so beautiful and you hung it in the perfect spot! I'm also going to do Valentine's ornaments - I haven't started. I'll be kitting up and hopefully start next week. 🧵💖🎉
@@Mrs.AZfamilyzooStitches I am so glad you haven’t started yet…this is the week for both of us. I am glad you like my owl placement…you have an artistic and critical eye. 🦉🧵🪡❤️
I loved hearing the story of your family having picnics at botanical gardens. I went and counted the cross-stitch on display in my house and came up with these totals: 19 of my designs that I stitched 5 of my designs that my husband stitched 20 that I stitched from other designers 6 that my husband stitched by other designers 4 stitched by others and gifted to us (I had to keep updating the numbers as I counted as I noticed ones that I missed.)
@@KEBStudioCreations this is so fantastic! Both of you stitching and displaying is so wonderful. And your own designs on the wall is particularly fantastic. I hope you get many compliments from your visitors. I am in awe. 🦉🪡🧵❤️🏅🏅🏅
Hi Karen Lovely WIPS - they are so pretty. Your Owl looks great - I love it. That is a good place for it. I recognize the tune but I can’t think the name of it. It’s one of my favorites. Stay Warm Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🙏☕️🧵🪡🧵❤️
@@lindaklinedinst9236 it is a tune from across the pond that is played on New Years Eve … well, in years gone by. Should Auld Aquaintance be forgot (and possibly spelling is forgotten too). Thank you for your kind message. 🦉🧵🪡❤️
Auld Lang Zyne??? Oh is name that tune over😢 lol. I love your owl and it looks lovely as part of your background. I am so looking forward to participating in Canada Swaps and I am thrilled at so many participants. Thank you so much for the Erin Elizabeth pattern, that game was so much fun and I am looking forward to the next get together. Karen
@@TwitchyStitcher yes indeed Karen…that is the piece. More participants are asking to take part today even. Could you peak at the Erin Elizabeth website and let me know which pattern you would like? The chat was indeed great fun. 🦉🧵🪡❤️
@@thevioletstitcher1985 thank you so much for commenting. Considering the size of many of your finishes Anita, I am guessing it is over a million stitches but I won’t ask you to count that. Take care. 🦉🧵🪡
Your owl is amazing, I am glad we all get to enjoy him everytime you video! You stitch the Quack Stack is so cute, I have a whole wall of duck stuff in my dining room, if you consider sharing I would love to have the chart! Oh and I was going to suggest maybe using silk thread on the Pidgon Coop owl? And you music moment was simply joyful thank you my friend!
@@connieschweitzer8163 Lisa is getting Quack Stack next but I will see if we can pass it on again after that stitch is completed. It is a lovely little pattern. Have you stitched Quack, quack, honk? I will give consideration to the silk suggestion…finding the correct fabric is essential too. Let’s stitch together next week. 🦉🧵🪡❄️
@@TheStitchingOwl that sounds wonderful! I am free every morning except Tuesday next week. Oh and I looked around my house and only actually have 2 of my projects out at the moment..... 🦆🪡
Your owl turned out so beautiful. I love it when you get to pick up a cross stitch from the framers and fall in love with it again. I am interested in the Canada chats group. I’ll email you.
Thank you for the mention. Feb 1st, unfortunately, doesn't work for me to chat. It's my weekend to have Aaron. I love Erin's tiered trays, I'm stitching the Canadian one this year. You have some lovely wips.
56 is the number of x-s, needlepoint, blackwork, embroidery, weaving, even knitting objects I have around my condo. I only put 😊away Christmas ornaments for safekeeping, but, everything else is on display or used. Great question. Love the music! Hope you have better luck with your two restarts - though I saw nothing wrong with any of your stitching. Cheers.
@@DLNYTube wow…56 is awesome. I am so glad you enjoy your handiwork and share it with those who visit. That is the highest number so far. You are very kind…thank you for your positive comments and support. I am continuing with the panda as is…I might like it more with the black bits in. Take care. 🦉🧵🪡❤️
Hi! Love your playing , so beautiful. And wips as well. But my your owl is fabulous ❤❤. I had to get up to count .lol I was surprised I had 30 out and 6 are seasonal and Christmas is put away. We have a very small home 970 sq ft so am pleased with the amount. Have a few more to finish and 1 large fullcoverage to get framed.
@@cindygaudet1390 30 is a fantastic showing Cindy…thank you for telling me. Small homes are cosy and hopefully less stress to clean. Which full coverage is waiting for a frame? I would love to be sent a picture. Take care. 🦉🧵🪡👍
Good morning, Karen! Lovely visiting with you. He is stunning! Do you have a name for him, I wonder? The animal tiered tray is so cute! Happy New Year, my sweet friend 💕
