Mieke, so glad to have you back! I suffered such withdrawal I re-watched FlossTube 1-36 recently. Your projects are amazing, of course, and it seems to me that the growth you spoke of is reflected in the choices you have made, and the fact that you have branched out some in those choices. We are all struggling to find our joy in the world we live in today, and saying that you are okay is perfectly "okay!" Stay positive, take care of yourself, keep stitching, and be back soon.
I could not believe it when you popped up on my feed today - I have checked so many times and had almost decided we would never see you again! So so glad you are well and happy.
I am so happy that you are doing videos again. I truly missed watching you. I glad that you are doing well. All of your projects are absolutely beautiful. It so nice to see you happy. I hope you keep the videos coming. Happy stitching my lovely stitchy friend.
So wonderful to see you again and catch up. You have some beautiful projects, I have just started my first large full coverage from Tilton crafts. I am loving it and thinking of starting a haed, a slippery slope! Happy to hear You are doing well and enjoying your job, never apologise for being ok, we all have to live our own lives as circumstances and events allow. Xxx
I cannot tell you how happy I am or see your smiling face. It fills me with joy that you are doing so well. I’ve always appreciated that you’ve been so honest about your mental health journey and to see you so filled with joy is a testament to your journey and that there is hope. Your thoughts on the state of our world were very close to what I’ve been thinking as well. And we should not feel guilty for being happy but balance that with trying to help others however we can. Please don’t make it so long until we see you and your amazing projects!! And remind Mev that we really miss her too. ❤❤❤❤
That was absolutely wonderful and moving. This came up on my TH-cam as I was looking for videos on how to start a Haed in this Friday afternoon, and I was delighted to see it was you. You look so radiant and glowing from happiness! All those HAEDs certainly do no harm in your case. And I fully agree in what you say at the end. The world is in a very bad place right now, but our quiet stitching away certainly does the opposite of harm. Wishing you all the very best, and please don't keep us waiting for too long. I do follow you on IG, but seeing and hearing you it's a totally different experience. Dank je wel! Xxx
You really do have quite a few projects that aren't your normal aesthetics .. good for you ! Never feel bad about being well The world is going through alot , and most of it we can't control . So for me I try to stay away from the negative. Sometimes I just have to tell myself quite worrying about the things I have no control of and worry about the things I do. SO yes I'm so glad you are well and in a good place . 🙃😄🙃 OMG I truly have missed you , I mean WOW !! I forgot how beautiful your projects are. Thanks for the up dates and stay positive, because you truly are a beautiful person.
So happy to see you back! Welcome back and hope you continue to do more videos. Your being well and happy are very evident. Your confidence level has increased and your conversational style has had a big improvement. Good on you girl! So happy for you. Lovely stitching projects as always! Stay safe Mieke 💕 Love, Viv from Western Australia 🇦🇺
Just found your channel recently and have went back to watch from your first video to now and immediately after clicking on this video and watching the first couple of seconds I couldn't help but smile at your smile and how much lighter you seemed to be in the video. Love to see that you are recovering and doing so much better. Thrilled to hear that your are still loving your home and the new job (albeit it is not so new now).
It was so nice to see you again. I am glad you are doing fine. Love your finishes and your progress on your wips. You have some gorgeous pieces. Happy stitching and I hope to see you soon! Take care.
What a joy to see you back on Flosstube you seem to be in a really good place in your life and I am happy for you! Regarding your stitching, I think that reflects that. The colours are super vibrant and I’m sure they represent how you are feeling. Beautiful pieces I’ll watch your progress with interest. Take care of you! Lots of love
Ik heb met heel veel plezier naar je video gekeken. Wat een liefde voor patronen en de juiste garen en stoffen, heel leuk om te zien. Ik vind je full coverages ook heel leuk om te zien. Het plezier spat er van af.
Hi Mieke I was so pleased to see your video pop up. Darling girl, after the journey that you've been on, I loved hearing you say that you're doing well. You, once againm have the look of the contented, happy Mieke that we've grown to love, which makes me so happy. Spread your wings, continue to soar and do what brings you joy. Take care. 💜💜💜 Hugs Marie
So glad to have you back, Mieke! Thank you for sharing your beautiful projects. I am humbled by the number of WIPs and their size. Many thanks as well for the life update. You expressed many of my thoughts and feelings in your journey towards mental health. The first week of October happens to be be the launch of mental health awareness month here in the U.S. - so your video is timely for me. It can be perplexing to be feeling "well" and in a good mental state in the midst of a world experiencing so many challenges, If it is any comfort to you; my late Mother (lost her last February to breast cancer) always told me that our world - our human specie - has always lived in perilous times. We must persevere, and do the very best we can to be part of the solution; love our families, friends and neighbors, and/or offer comfort to our others. The only way we can do these things is by firstly being "well" within ourselves. It is okay to enjoy your "wellness." You/we cannot help others, accept the responsibility of even being part of a home association without firstly being well. Stay safe and be well in your journey.
It is so good to see you back and even more so to see you feeling happy and thriving! Do not feel guilty about enjoying your life, you deserve every ounce of your happiness. Our whole world is in a mess and a lot of people are going through a very hard time, including myself, but I only wish good for you after what you have been through in the past years. x
Wat een heerlijk cadeautje vandaag!! Ik heb er echt van genoten! Zoveel moois met de heerlijke Mieke energie en lach. Nooit schamen voor een goed gevoel! Je bent van diep gekomen en ben zo trots op je! Tuurlijk raakt alle ellende om ons heen ons, maar dat doet niet af aan de reis die jij hebt doorgemaakt. Zo fijn dat wij ook dit resultaat met jou mogen meebeleven 💙
Hello Mieke, how wonderful it is to see you again, and you seem so well and happy! You have such strength and courage and peace about you…it’s quite contagious! Your projects are exceedingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing…
I'm so excited that I found you! I love HAED designs. You are very inspirational to be sure! You have picked my favorite colors in your pieces. So very beautiful! All your designs are gorgeous! Your stitching is beautiful! Thank you for sharing! You inspire me to get more stitching done!
Yay!! So good to see you and your beautiful stitching. I don’t know how you get so much done. It’s great that you’re doing well. Don’t feel guilty about that! You’ve worked hard to be healthy and you’ve retained your empathy and humanity. All positive and commendable. Well done. You rock.
Love your work and your progress. This is my first visit to your floss tube and I really enjoyed it. I’m a huge fan of the Stitchketeers 😊. Congratulations on your job - it sounds so interesting. It’s ok to say that you are doing well. We need this conversation now more than ever. Videos like yours help all of us to join hands and be thoughtful about our world today and share these experiences. Thank you so much!❤
Mieke, I'm glad to hear from you! Absolutely gorgeous projects, I know that you say you are a process stitcher but so many full coverage projects certainly it would drive me crazy, hahaha. It was a delight to watch your video. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and happy stitching. Xoxo. Miriam 🇧🇷
Wonderful to see you Mika and you looking and sounding so happy. Never feel that your happy. It's good to hear someone being positive and growing. I think most of the world is having big problems and hopefully in the (near)future it will get better with few casualties. Your projects are stunning. Funnily enough today I started a Quaker which is meant to be stitched in Autumn colours but I'm stitching in all shads of blue to remember our dear Queen Elizabeth ll. She was a strong woman who gave her life to our country. Sending you love and best wishes for a continuation of a good and happy life🤗
So glad you back. I just love your charts and life updates. Speaking about the hardship that people are going through has hit home here to. We have so much corruptions which just snowballs into other issues in our country. My escape from long hours of work and busy home life is my cross stitching. That is when my brain shuts down and gets a bit of a rest. Looking forward to your next flosstube
Wat fijn dat je er weer bent Mieke, en wat ben je met prachtige creaties bezig!! Voel je niet schuldig omdat je je blij en tevreden voelt, want dát betekent niet dat je geen betrokken mens bent, maar je kan alle zorgen en problemen van de wereld nooit alleen op je schouders nemen, en je hebt ook je eigen portie wel dubbel en dwars gehad. Dus blijf stralen en positief en vooral genieten van alles wat op je pad komt.❤
I have been a cross stitcher for years & will never be a HAED stitcher. However, I really enjoyed seeing your HAEDs & hope to see one over your couch one day !
So glad you’re back! You have accomplished so much stitching. Beautiful projects and progress! I am very glad that you are feeling well and that your work is meaningful to you! I hope we’ll see you sooner than later! ❤❤🌟
Omg I remember you!! You’re the blue stitcher! Everything blue, you stitch! Haha! So glad you’re back! I usually dont remember cross stitch channels that go awol but after seeing you, i had an instant flashback!!
So nice to see you again. You've definitely been busy during your time away. I'm happy for you that you've found the ideal job and that it make s you happy. Never apologize for being happy. Yes, there are horrible things happening all around us but if we all allowed the events to steal our personal peace it would truly be a horrible world.
Wat leuk Mieke om je weer te zien en wat fijn om te horen dat het goed met je gaat. Jouw energie spat van het beeld! En dan al die prachtige projecten, wauw. Alvast gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag en heel veel plezier!!! Fijne dag gewenst 🎉
So glad you are back! I don’t spend much time on Instagram (it takes away from stitching time) & prefer to watch Flosstube as I stitch so I was very excited to see that you posted a new video & happy you are doing well. 💙 Kim from Canada 🇨🇦
So good to see you back here and see youre doing so well. Love to see your projects in "realtime", there all so gorgeous! It was a joy to watch you again ♡
I just found your channel and love all the full coverage! 😍 You have every right to feel happy, no need to apologize for it. The world needs more light and by being happy as you are only adds to it. ❤
So happy to see you back! I remember seeing your last video (36) and enjoying it so much! often wondered where you were and if you were doing well. Glad to hear everything is okay! Looking forward to your next video :) greetings from Belgium
It is wonderful to see you again. I am sso glad to see you doing well. Don't be ashamed of being well. There will always be problems in the world. Sometimes there is more than other times but, it will always be around. All we can do is strive to happy in all circumstances. In all things be content.
First time watching you. I absolutely love all your full coverage pieces. They are so beautiful. One of these days I will get the courage to start one. There are so many amazing ones out there. Happy Stitching!😊
Thanks so much, Kris! :-) I cannot praise HAED enough for full coverage designs. Such beautiful art works and great charts to work with. I hope you'll indeed find the courage to start one! :-)
I just found your channel and am a new subscriber. Your projects are amazing. If it makes you feel better, you are not alone with having so many HAEDS on the go. I also have 15 of them in progress right now with at least 2 more planned to be started before the end of the year.
I followed you only on IG, good to see you on FT. You don't need to apologize, that you have a good life! You give others hope, that it is possible to be happy and in "the good place" even in such difficult times as we all live now. So no need to worry 😉 Your projects are beautiful! All those vibrant colors "scream" be happy! 🥰
I'm so very happy you're back. I have missed you. Your projects are really amazing. If you are in a good place. Just be in that good place. Do not feel bad because of what's going on in the world or even around you. Joy is meant to be had. God wants us to have joy. There will always be trouble in this world. Whenever you can. Celebrate life. You know where you were before in your heart. Enjoy peace and joy. You deserve that! Besides, I'm going to find me a purple couch like yours. 🤗🤩😁🤓
Goed je weer te zien en fijn om te horen dat het je goed gaat. Jammer dat ik je niet op DutchMaynia zal zien. Ik ben wel benieuwd hoeveel wip's/ufo's je nog in je borduurkast hebt liggen; daarvoor zal ik een van je oudere video's moeten terugkijken. 😉 Heel veel plezier met het borduren aan je prachtige haeds. Groetjes, Evelien
Hoi Mieke, bij toeval vond ik vandaag deze video.... hoewel... maybe it was meant to be. Dankjewel voor alle positiviteit, precies wat ik vandaag ff nodig had. En leuk om te zien dat ik niet de enige HAED serial starter ben in ons polderlandje 🪡🇳🇱🌷
Welcome back! Glad your new video allowed me to find you! Your pieces are gorgeous! I love how many blues you use! I love blue and have a blue couch too! Any suggestions on tutorials to watch for a first time full coverage stitcher? I typically do smaller pieces, but all these big process stitches really make me want to try my hand at one!
Hi! :-) So glad you enjoyed the video! Hmm that is a real good question about the full coverage tutorial. When I started them I watched Caroline Mazzeo's parking tutorial as as well as Mrs Milkybarkid's video on HAEDs. But mind you, that was way back in 2015, so I'm sure there are loads more videos on the topic floating around on TH-cam these days. One of the more recent topics is something called 'royal rows', which is a new and popular way of tackling HAEDs. I personally don't use that method but I know that it has clicked with a lot of people. You might want to try a search for videos on that! :-) I hope this helps.
Hoi Mieke, allereerst gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag. Wat leuk om te zien waar je aan bezig bent, zulke mooie projecten. Dank je voor je openhartigheid, zelf weet ik, uit ervaring, waar je doorheen bent gegaan en het is fijn dat het nu goed met je gaat, klinkt als een leuk leven. Keep the spirit en tot een volgende keer. Groetjes crea.x.stitcher.
Hi Mika It’s so good to see a Video from you. I have missed you. Love your WIPS - they are so beautiful I cannot wait til I see your New HAED’s Starts. Happy Birthday 🎂 Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🎂🧵🪡🧵🍁🍂☀️☕️❤️
So exciting to see you!! Beautiful stitching. You have such good progress on all of them. I will have to follow you more closely on IG. Would it be too much to ask of a view out your window each season. I love your new place and that sofa is WOW!
Good to see you again. I have to say that you did enabled me on a couple of patterns you had started stitching a few months back 😂😂. Haven’t started them yet but i will. I like the Stable saying. I say let’s prove them wrong and finish our projects at some Ointment 😂😂. Your wips look amazing and you have made great progress on all of them. I hope you have an amazing couple of weeks, stay safe and happy stitching ❤️
Oooh wat een heerlijk cadeautje weer een video van jou!! Goed om je weer terug te zien op flosstube! Super mooie projecten heb je, vooral Sea Opal, die zie ik helemaal achter jouw bank hangen 💙 Gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag, hopelijk heb je een mooie dag 🎉 Ik snap je gevoel helemaal over hoe het nu gaat in Nederland en dat je zegt dat het goed met je gaat en dat dat soms dubbel voelt. Maar, je mag je ook goed voelen, zeker na de periode die je achter de rug hebt 😘 Hopelijk tot gauw, liefs Debbie
Just found your channel. Oh my goodness...your wips are amazing! I found out about Heaven and Earth designs this year & have fallen hard down that rabbit hole. I can only hope one day that my projects look as good as yours 🥰 Hope you have a great birthday & weekend! Much love ❤
Wauw! Wat zijn je haed projecten mooi! Fijn dat je je droom van hebt gevonden! Ik denk dat je best mag zeggen dat je je God voelt ondanks wat er gebeurd in de wereld en in ons land. Ik vind het alleen maar super fijn voor jou! Groetjes Mildred
Hoi Mieke! Goed je weer terug te zien. En wat een prachtige projecten! Werkelijk adembenemend. Ik werk momenteel ook aan Spring Queen (en ze is stiekem mijn favoriet). Dus ik vind het erg gaaf om te zien dat jij ook aan haar gaat werken! Ik kan niet wachten op een update. Hoop dat het je goed gaat. Groetjes, Lilian.
It was great to see you again- you're positively glowing! I'm so happy you're doing well. Don't feel bad about it- you are healing from an injury, and that's not selfish. The fact that the injury is psychological and not physical doesn't change that. I wish you much more stitchy fun, and hope to see you on flosstube again soon!
I love this, but I have to say that I am also using this as an example of what NOT to do. I would be so overwhelmed if I had that many of these HAED's to work on at one time. I really want to just stick with one until it's finished, then start another. Easier said than done, I'm sure, but I can't imagine having THAT MANY unfinished HAEDs in a pile, begging for thousands of hours of my time to finish.
Haha I get you! Having so many projects on the go is not for everyone. I used to be a one-project-at-a-time girl for twenty years, and thennnn... I discovered full coverage stitching and my style totally changed. Isn't that what is so great about this hobby. Everyone can customize it to fit their style!
Why oh why did you have to show Sea Opal? It's been nagging and nagging at me ever since I watched this video, and today I couldn't resist any longer, I bought your 800x800 version 😆😆 But I definitely won't start it until next year, because I'm doing #NoNewStarts2022 😄
Max Colors is a special service that you can request at Heaven And Earth Designs, which ups the standard amount of 90 DMC colours used in a pattern to maximum 240 colours. Adding more colours gives more contrast and depth to a pattern.
Mieke, so glad to have you back! I suffered such withdrawal I re-watched FlossTube 1-36 recently. Your projects are amazing, of course, and it seems to me that the growth you spoke of is reflected in the choices you have made, and the fact that you have branched out some in those choices. We are all struggling to find our joy in the world we live in today, and saying that you are okay is perfectly "okay!" Stay positive, take care of yourself, keep stitching, and be back soon.
Thanks so much, Julie! :-) Whoa you really did watch ALL my videos again? My oh my, I applaud you haha.
So good to see you again with all your beautiful projects and to know that you are doing well at work etc. please come back soon!
Thanks so much, Lynette! :-)
I could not believe it when you popped up on my feed today - I have checked so many times and had almost decided we would never see you again! So so glad you are well and happy.
I am so happy that you are doing videos again. I truly missed watching you. I glad that you are doing well. All of your projects are absolutely beautiful. It so nice to see you happy. I hope you keep the videos coming. Happy stitching my lovely stitchy friend.

So good to hear from you. Hope you continue the floss tubes. And when Mev visits tell her she is missed and hope she makes flosstube soon.
I’m so happy to see you back on Flosstube! Your pieces are all just so beautiful! I’m glad you’re doing well!
Welcome back. What a fabulous surprise. Saturday is my birthday so this is a beautiful birthday present. Please don't leave again.
It is so good to see you back and even more so to see you feeling happy and thriving! Do not feel guilty about enjoying your life, you deserve every ounce of your happiness.

I can't explain how happy I am to see you back! I've been a silent follower over the years, but I just had to pop in and say; Welcome Back!! ☺
Hello Mieke, how wonderful it is to see you again, and you seem so well and happy! You have such strength and courage and peace about you…it’s quite contagious! Your projects are exceedingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing…
I'm so excited that I found you! I love HAED designs. You are very inspirational to be sure! You have picked my favorite colors in your pieces. So very beautiful! All your designs are gorgeous! Your stitching is beautiful! Thank you for sharing! You inspire me to get more stitching done!

I have been wondering how you are. Thank you for sharing your beautiful WIPs and letting us know how you are doing. So happy for you 💓
I am so happy to see you back here and I am glad you are well 😊 Your WIPs are gorgeous a joy to look at! Looking forward to seeing you in Basel 🥰
I have been a cross stitcher for years & will never be a HAED stitcher. However, I really enjoyed seeing your HAEDs & hope to see one over your couch one day !
So happy you are doing so good. I loved seeing your HAEDs; so beautiful!! Happy stitching………….

It is wonderful to see you again. I am sso glad to see you doing well. Don't be ashamed of being well. There will always be problems in the world. Sometimes there is more than other times but, it will always be around. All we can do is strive to happy in all circumstances. In all things be content.
Hello dear heart! So good to see you. Sending you hugs. The cross stitch as always AMAZING! Please don't stay away so long.
Was worth the wait to see such fabulous progress. Glad you came back
I'm happy you're back and well. Beautiful wips. We have the same taste in vibrant colors.
First time watching you. I absolutely love all your full coverage pieces. They are so beautiful. One of these days I will get the courage to start one. There are so many amazing ones out there. Happy Stitching!😊
Thanks so much, Kris! :-) I cannot praise HAED enough for full coverage designs. Such beautiful art works and great charts to work with. I hope you'll indeed find the courage to start one! :-)
I just found your channel and am a new subscriber. Your projects are amazing. If it makes you feel better, you are not alone with having so many HAEDS on the go. I also have 15 of them in progress right now with at least 2 more planned to be started before the end of the year.
Oh wow Tina, that's awesome! Which HAEDs are you planning to start?
I look forward to hearing about your Haeds! I have missed you!
Thank you for being so positive! Really enjoyed our time together! Be well!💗
I followed you only on IG, good to see you on FT. You don't need to apologize, that you have a good life! You give others hope, that it is possible to be happy and in "the good place" even in such difficult times as we all live now. So no need to worry 😉 Your projects are beautiful! All those vibrant colors "scream" be happy! 🥰
Lovely to see you back on flosstube land🎉lots of beautiful projects ❤continue to be happy and look after yourself. Warmly 💐
I'm so very happy you're back. I have missed you. Your projects are really amazing. If you are in a good place. Just be in that good place. Do not feel bad because of what's going on in the world or even around you. Joy is meant to be had. God wants us to have joy. There will always be trouble in this world. Whenever you can. Celebrate life. You know where you were before in your heart. Enjoy peace and joy. You deserve that! Besides, I'm going to find me a purple couch like yours. 🤗🤩😁🤓
Goed je weer te zien en fijn om te horen dat het je goed gaat. Jammer dat ik je niet op DutchMaynia zal zien. Ik ben wel benieuwd hoeveel wip's/ufo's je nog in je borduurkast hebt liggen; daarvoor zal ik een van je oudere video's moeten terugkijken. 😉 Heel veel plezier met het borduren aan je prachtige haeds.
Groetjes, Evelien
Wonderful projects and progress, how did I not see your channel before, I don't know! I loved it thank you for sharing them!
Lovely to see you again Mieke. Great video, your projects are fabulous. Have fun with Mev. 💙💙
Hoi Mieke, bij toeval vond ik vandaag deze video.... hoewel... maybe it was meant to be. Dankjewel voor alle positiviteit, precies wat ik vandaag ff nodig had. En leuk om te zien dat ik niet de enige HAED serial starter ben in ons polderlandje 🪡🇳🇱🌷
Hoi! :-)
Ik volg je al jaren op instagram. Leuk om nu eens je projecten te zien op video. Happy stitching!
Welcome back! Glad your new video allowed me to find you! Your pieces are gorgeous! I love how many blues you use! I love blue and have a blue couch too! Any suggestions on tutorials to watch for a first time full coverage stitcher? I typically do smaller pieces, but all these big process stitches really make me want to try my hand at one!
Hi! :-) So glad you enjoyed the video! Hmm that is a real good question about the full coverage tutorial. When I started them I watched Caroline Mazzeo's parking tutorial as as well as Mrs Milkybarkid's video on HAEDs. But mind you, that was way back in 2015, so I'm sure there are loads more videos on the topic floating around on TH-cam these days. One of the more recent topics is something called 'royal rows', which is a new and popular way of tackling HAEDs. I personally don't use that method but I know that it has clicked with a lot of people. You might want to try a search for videos on that! :-) I hope this helps.
@@DarlingBluebell Thanks so much! I'll look into it and see what I can find!
So excited to see you back again,just love your videos.😊
I am so glad you found your dream job. It made me happy to listen you to tell about it. I am happy for you😊
Dank je wel voor je video. Prachtige projecten. En ben blij, dat het goed met je gaat. Je ziet er zo blij en energievol uit. Happy stitching!
Glad to see you back❤
Hoi Mieke, allereerst gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag. Wat leuk om te zien waar je aan bezig bent, zulke mooie projecten. Dank je voor je openhartigheid, zelf weet ik, uit ervaring, waar je doorheen bent gegaan en het is fijn dat het nu goed met je gaat, klinkt als een leuk leven. Keep the spirit en tot een volgende keer. Groetjes crea.x.stitcher.
Hi Mika
It’s so good to see a Video from you. I have missed you.
Love your WIPS - they are so beautiful
I cannot wait til I see your New HAED’s Starts.
Happy Birthday 🎂
Take Care & Happy Stitching
❤️🤗🎂🧵🪡🧵🍁🍂☀️☕️❤️
So exciting to see you!! Beautiful stitching. You have such good progress on all of them. I will have to follow you more closely on IG. Would it be too much to ask of a view out your window each season. I love your new place and that sofa is WOW!
Good to see you again. I have to say that you did enabled me on a couple of patterns you had started stitching a few months back 😂😂. Haven’t started them yet but i will. I like the Stable saying. I say let’s prove them wrong and finish our projects at some
Ointment 😂😂. Your wips look amazing and you have made great progress on all of them. I hope you have an amazing couple of weeks, stay safe and happy stitching ❤️
Uggg should have said at some point not ointment 😂😂
Oooh wat een heerlijk cadeautje weer een video van jou!! Goed om je weer terug te zien op flosstube! Super mooie projecten heb je, vooral Sea Opal, die zie ik helemaal achter jouw bank hangen 💙 Gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag, hopelijk heb je een mooie dag 🎉 Ik snap je gevoel helemaal over hoe het nu gaat in Nederland en dat je zegt dat het goed met je gaat en dat dat soms dubbel voelt. Maar, je mag je ook goed voelen, zeker na de periode die je achter de rug hebt 😘 Hopelijk tot gauw, liefs Debbie
Just found your channel. Oh my goodness...your wips are amazing! I found out about Heaven and Earth designs this year & have fallen hard down that rabbit hole. I can only hope one day that my projects look as good as yours 🥰 Hope you have a great birthday & weekend! Much love ❤
Wauw! Wat zijn je haed projecten mooi! Fijn dat je je droom van hebt gevonden! Ik denk dat je best mag zeggen dat je je God voelt ondanks wat er gebeurd in de wereld en in ons land. Ik vind het alleen maar super fijn voor jou! Groetjes Mildred
Hoi Mieke! Goed je weer terug te zien. En wat een prachtige projecten! Werkelijk adembenemend. Ik werk momenteel ook aan Spring Queen (en ze is stiekem mijn favoriet). Dus ik vind het erg gaaf om te zien dat jij ook aan haar gaat werken! Ik kan niet wachten op een update. Hoop dat het je goed gaat. Groetjes, Lilian.
Dank je wel, Lilian! Ik heb zo veel plezier met Spring en Summer Queen. Heerlijk, die felle lente- en zomerkleuren die er in zitten.
Hello!! Aquarius was on my wishlist, but now... She's top 1!!! Thanks!!
It was great to see you again- you're positively glowing! I'm so happy you're doing well. Don't feel bad about it- you are healing from an injury, and that's not selfish. The fact that the injury is psychological and not physical doesn't change that. I wish you much more stitchy fun, and hope to see you on flosstube again soon!
Magic pond how amazing and such colors Amazing 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Super blij met deze flosstube Mieke en al je geweldige updates❤️ tot de volgende 🌹
Beautiful HAEDs. Loved watching, thx for sharing ❣️
I love this, but I have to say that I am also using this as an example of what NOT to do. I would be so overwhelmed if I had that many of these HAED's to work on at one time. I really want to just stick with one until it's finished, then start another. Easier said than done, I'm sure, but I can't imagine having THAT MANY unfinished HAEDs in a pile, begging for thousands of hours of my time to finish.
Haha I get you! Having so many projects on the go is not for everyone. I used to be a one-project-at-a-time girl for twenty years, and thennnn... I discovered full coverage stitching and my style totally changed. Isn't that what is so great about this hobby. Everyone can customize it to fit their style!
Would you always advise to go max colour? And best size to get good detail?
Welcome back 🎉🥳
Love love love all your projects 🥰🥰
Happy Birthday.
As far as patterns go, I find HAED the easiest to follow. Don’t have to think about it.
If you’re ready for the mad house then you’ll have plenty of time to stitch!!!
Hahaha THAT's the spirit! Thank you for making me smile this Monday morning.
Do you stitch with one or two threads on 18 ct davosa? Your projects are amazing!
What is that covering you have on your pieces?
They're called grime guards
wowowowow is so beautiful!
awesome projects!
New subscriber, beautiful work!
Why oh why did you have to show Sea Opal? It's been nagging and nagging at me ever since I watched this video, and today I couldn't resist any longer, I bought your 800x800 version 😆😆 But I definitely won't start it until next year, because I'm doing #NoNewStarts2022 😄
Ik kijk uit naar je vooruitgang ❤
Are all those purchased at haed
Very pretty
What is max color
Max Colors is a special service that you can request at Heaven And Earth Designs, which ups the standard amount of 90 DMC colours used in a pattern to maximum 240 colours. Adding more colours gives more contrast and depth to a pattern.
Sorry, what does HAED mean?
It's short for Heaven And Earth Designs, the biggest full coverage cross stitch company out there. 😉
@@DarlingBluebell thank you!!!
❤❤❤
Doe ‘m goed in die Q-snap! Dit.is.niet.goed 😖😖😖😖
