My son when he was 9 we bought him a hedgehog. He was the cutest little thing but the college kid that raised him had never touched him. We went to a dark, dorm room apartment to pick him up. I felt like we were rescuing him and would give him a good life. He was studying them and weighing them daily. He would run on his wheel all night and we kept him in a Rubbermaid container. I washed him every night and he enjoyed his bath, mostly. But he was a brat and bite our fingers. The only way he would release was to run cold water over his face. My son lost him in the house for 3 days and he was living in his shoe. He was a little stinker!
I absolutely loved seeing Evie come in and make her cute little faces, tell about Zelda and sing Scooby Doo! I love all your stories about your finds and family. I enjoy the parts when you elaborate on your outings. Everything is stupid expensive. I had to look up hhomunculi😊. I’m imagining you stalking miniatures with binoculars. We had hooks by our front door with a shelf at our first home and a bench and hooks by our back door in our new home. The bench flipped up for storage. The hooks were always full with backpacks, coats, sports gear. It was cute and useful.
I’m really glad you’re going to continue to do your floss tube whenever you desire. I’ll be here to watch. ❤
Thank you for such a wonderful comment, Debra! I looked into hedgehogs for pets years ago and couldn’t get behind the idea of feeding them live worms and things 🤣. They will have to be a presence in our crafts instead.
It will be so nice once we have a coat closet with hooks and storage just like you described. Especially for a few outdoor toys too.
I hope you have a wonderful week!
I appreciate all the different crafts you two show. I also enjoy the way you two interact with each other. I certainly wish my daughter shared my crafts. Thank you!
Thank you so much Barbara😊 I am very blessed. Hopefully your daughter will one day!
I so enjoy your flosstubes...but, I have to say Evie is really the cherry on top of the flosstube!
Right?! She is my favorite too😁
I love Veronique's books. I have the Christmas book and sewing book. I could stitch every motif. They are gorgeous.
We really could too! They are just so so so beautiful : )
I enjoy your videos, and the variety of needle crafts you do. I will watch you on whatever day you choose and however often you choose to film. ❤️
Thank you Deb!
It's so sweet watching Evie. Makes me miss my daughter being that age. 🥰
She is at such a fun age!
I like Sunbonnet Sue. I have the cardboard templates for Sunbonnet Sue that my Grandmother in the 60's.
Oh that’s wonderful Carol!
An overnight bag would be perfect for that floral.
Jeanette, you are such a baaaaad girl, you have sent me off on a shopping spree for Hedgehog fabric!!!!! I have 3 jumbo trash bags filled with fabric to donate because I said with cross stitch I won't be using it. Now I'm buying more. I refuse to get on you and Heather's embroidery book bandwagon. 🤣🤣
But its just so stinkin cute!!😂😂😂
Glad to hear that you guys are going to be doing your videos every two weeks. I love watching your videos and I get so many fun ideas and inspiration from you too. I thought it was fun when Evie was singing the Scooby Doo song. I love Scooby Doo!
Thank you, ChrisAnn! That’s so nice to hear. Evie would steal the entire show if we let her 😂😂😂
❤❤❤ those hedgehogs! And that Corgi Heather🥰.
🥰🥰🤣
The Snow White is adorable, so sweet.
Thank you Nancy
I found your channel today as I was looking for “Veronique Enginger”. I need to add the sewing book by Veronique that you showed to my collection. Actually, I enjoyed viewing the other items you showed as well. I’m very happy I found your channel. ❤
We are so happy you found us! Veronique is our favorite. I am looking forward to starting the sewing sampler. Have a wonderful week!
Alway love to see what you both are working on. I love your vintage strawberry tin! So cute and perfect condition too. I look forward to seeing your next video with your stitching. Your new fabric is adorable. I love the hedgehogs!
Thank you! I just HAD to have the strawberry tin lol. Now if I can get Heather to embroider that little hedgehog for me… they are just the cutest!
Enjoyed catching up with you both! Marmalade is so cute - and yes, I agree we can be childlike, it's fun! Sue Bonnet brought back memories of my grandma - she made an appliquéd Sue Bonnet quilt for all her great grand-daughters. I haven't had kids (other than my fur kids), so I didn't have the opportunity to have one in my direct family to pass down. I recently noticed that Tiger Lilly Designs talked about having released a Sue Bonnet cross stitch in her shop. 😊
Hi Brandi! I have always wanted make a sunbonnet quilt. I am excited to the new Simple Shapes and start one. Just slowly but it will be so much fun. I will have to check out Tiger Lilys design!
Great video as usual. It is nice you will be doing one every 2 weeks, so look forward to them but I know how busy life can be sometimes. OMG that Veronique Enginger sewing book was to die for. I paused your video and went to Etsy and purchased it immediately, love love loved it. Heather you come up with the greatest books and projects and your embroidery is so beautiful. Looking forward to seeing more.
I think you maybe bought the last one because that shop no longer has them 😂. Just wait until you get that book. It is stunning!
@@CraftyCottageStitches Yes I noticed it said one left. I am so glad I paused and went right away or I might have missed it. Can’t wait to get it. Thanks for your sharing your wonderful finds
“I follow some miniature people.”😂
I was laughing about that again last night 🤣🤣🤣
So fun to see what you guys have been up to. Heather your embroidery is gorgeous. Evie will love all the fairy tales in her room. I love all your shopping excursions. Reminds me of me and my mom. I bought the yarn to make carrots, I need yo to learn how to make a magic ring first. Janet you cross stitches are beautiful. I can’t wait for the charts that I ordered to come. I am also a bunny lover. Have a great week.
I have watched several videos on a magic circle. I found one that made sense to me but there are definitely some out there that went way over my head. I have it down now though lol
you inspired me to pull out my embroidery again and spend some money LOL, I went to Martingale books ( going out of business sale) and bought Kathy Schmitz's "Stitches from the harvest" Ebook for $7.00. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us!
Are they going out of business?!
Your finished Snow White is fabulous Heather! Seeing your gorgeous embroidery reminded me that I have a book called Zakka embroidery by Yumiko Higuchi. It’s worth checking out. I have the same sunflower chart that you showed and love the design with the blue kettle. Lots of confetti stitching though! I think your sampler will be stunning Janet! It looks great on white linen and the little framed bird is adoreable!
ps. I started off collecting treadle sewing machine ornaments, pictures etc. then went on to the real thing! Love my two treadles.😂
I may have a few ‘real’ treadles too😂😂😂
I just found your video. I now reside in Seattle, formly from Ferndale near the Canadian border I, also, do same crafts you two do except knitting. So, truly enjoyed the time spent with you.
So glad you found us! Oh and I am only a super beginner knitter lol. As in I can make a square😁 Have a great week!
What's in that coffee you're drinking? Love the books! Can't wait to see more quilting.
Skinny vanilla latte and a coconut latte but full caffeine this time 😂😂
Oh my gosh-she has Scooby Doo down perfectly! 😂 Brenda is my local stitchy friend and she talked me into starting the SNF SAL with you. I had the pattern and threads in my stash. I haven’t definitively settled on a fabric yet but have a couple to choose from. I have several of the kits based on the motifs in that sampler. This weekend I stitched on Sweet Finch. Hopefully I will find time to make a start on it this week. 🧵🪡✂️😊 Barbara
Oh good! I didnt know there was kits for it. I have to check into that now lol. I do have the sweet finch but I didnt know it was part of the sampler. Make sure you tag me! Oh and keep me going on it😁
Love the video, ladies!! Jeanette, I am also a Beatrix Potter fan and have bought several books from Thrift Books. I also found Jeri Landers Hopalong Hollow on TH-cam, who also does creations in the Potter style. You would enjoy her videos.
I love that you ladies cover crafting projects besides cross stitching! Great video today!
We will definitely check her out! Sounds wonderful 🥰
I love embroidery and even though I've been cross stitching for 25 years.... I cannot make the stem stitch look good lol and that's most of embroidery lol!
I bet it looks just fine! Lol
I also struggle sometimes with motifs that cross pages, i always make a working copy and I trim back pages so there is no white space and also no greyed rows or columns if the designer has used them to indicate the previous page. Then I tape together and behold a complete motif…it does give you larger pages but it works for me! Love your updates!
Thank you! I am glad its not just me. Its a real struggle sometimes. I have taped together things too. So much easier for me. Have a wonderful two weeks🥰
THE EMBROIDERY IS BEAUTIFUL!!
Thank you, Jenny! 🥰
Oh the snow white is so pretty.
Ladies awesome news. Every 2 weeks. Heather your snow white is absolutely gorgeous. Janet love your birds. I just love all the things you guys do.
Thank you, Jeannetta! 🥰
Oh both of you have started some really lovely pieces! Jeannette, the sampler is g o r g e o u s! I have to put that one on my list. Could you list the book by Veronique? Heather, they are so wonderful......Thank you both for coming back.....I really enjoy watching you. Take care
Hi, Sarah! The book is 260 Cross Stitch at Paris Atelier by Veronique Enginger. I listed the shop I purchased it at above but I believe it might be sold out already since our video. But I’m sure you could message them to see if they will be getting more. Hope you have a wonderful day!
Thank you for letting me know! See you in a couple of weeks!
Boy did you scare me, when you mentioned that there will be a change to your videos. I am so glad you will be posting every 2 weeks or so. I really look forward to your videos, I love the common sense way you two do your videos. I learn a lot from all your projects. I think you guys are one of the best on TH-cam. Keep up the good work and know we all do really appreciate the work you do to make these videos. Thank You.
Thank you so much, Renee. It’s so nice to hear when people appreciate our videos and style. The reason we do these videos is to show people that they can do all kinds of crafts and it’s not something to be scared of, etc. it’s to have fun and do what we al
Love. Have a wonderful week 🥰
I am so excited! yeah Love the carrots too - hugs
Hugs back to you, Kathie! Have a wonderful week!🥰
Oh Jeannette, I love chickadees too.
My favorite😊
Your crochet carrots are so cute. Love all of your books - I looked for the sewing cross stitch book but could not find it. I agree Sunbonnet Sue's are not my favorite either but I know people that love them.
I have looked around this morning and since our video, the copies from the shop I bought from have sold out 😳
Love your videos, and get so inspired with all your crafting. Love the fabrics, books, patterns, antiques and vintage finds you share!❤
Thank you, Melinda! 🥰
Love,love,love everything!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!! We are obsessed with it all!
wow lots of new crafts and ideas Love it. Love that bunny and hedgehog fabric OMG!!! Love Evie singing so cute
She always has a special accent when she sings 🤣. She’s quite musical and always hilarious 🥰
Those crochet carrots are the sweetest! I'm loving the books AND the fabric! Your videos are just eye candy for me! 💝
The carrots were a fun little project! Have a wonderful two weeks😊
My goodness, what do you ladies not do creatively?? So inspiring. And adorableness overload!!!! Omgosh, my inner child is melting!! I helped raise my niece and we did crafts every weekend, and then as she got older, every month. I love her! I just took out and ironed a runner that she and I made, (she made her own). I bought three tea towels, one solid, the other two floral on the sides, and we stitched them together and made tassels at each end with matching yarn. So fun!! Thanks for the video!!😻👍🐦
We are always doing crafts or drawing, stickers, kinetic sand, play doh, beads, etc. with Evie. I’m so glad she got our crafting bug! 🥰🥰🥰
You two are such enablers, (And I mean that in a good way)! The books and fabrics you’ve shown are incredible, I’m going to be doing some serious retail therapy! I look forward to your next video and seeing the progress on your projects!
So sorry but we did find the coolest stuff 🤣. Glad to share it with you all. Happy stitching/shopping 🥰
A great video. Always fun to see your little one. What a cutie and so smart! The. Sewing product book, great! I wish Amazon sold it. Great ideas! Thanks for sharing. ❤️❤️❤️
I know! I wish we had easier access to Veronique books and patterns. She is seriously talented and just my style!
Hi Ladies. Really love everything you both stitch, sew, embroider and quilt. I look forward to your videos anytime you have a chance to do one. Evie, as always, was adorable. She’s growing so fast.
Thank you, Anita! She is getting so big. Can’t believe how quickly it goes 🥰
Hi Ladies it’s so great to see you!!!
Thank you, Pat! Hope you have had a wonder weekend 🥰
I follow some miniature people! 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 I started giggling about that last night
Evie totally stole the show today! Love how determined and serious she was singing Scooby Doo’s theme song. She is so precious! Heather…I am not the imaginer type play person either.
It’s a struggle! I love that she wants to be so imaginative and want to encourage her to do so but I’m just so bad at it. It feels soul sucking (a bit dramatic I guess lol).
@@CraftyCottageStitches Not at all. It just isn’t you and that’s where she can totally do things with dad that she can’t do with you…she needs both of you. :)
I will be here whenever you are. I love to what you are up to next. You ladies have so many crafting interests.
Thank you, Cindy! Have a wonderful week!
Such darling things.
🥰 Thank you!
Glad your back. Great,great embroidery and cross stitch projects. Love your new book Heather. Have fun crafting and see you in 2 weeks. Love your carrots Janette.
Thank you Pat🥰 See you in two weeks!
Well you’ve both gone and done it again. I’m off down a Simone Gooding rabbit hole, with carrots.
It’s lovely to see you both so enthusiastic about your crafting plans.
I loved your strawberry sewing tin sadly nothing like that in the Uk. ( I looked)
Fantastic floss tube once more and I’m glad we are going to be seeing you a little more frequently. Although my bank balance may not 😅. Thank you ladies ❤
😂😂😂 Rabbit hole! Hehe. She will be so fun to make. I hope you come across the strawberry one day. It’s super cute. BUT you guys have the prettiest tins over there. Thank you so much for watching us! Have a great two weeks
Always fun to sit and stitch with you both! So many pretty WIPs & I love your Snow White finish! Little Red Riding Hood will be adorable too, what fun pieces for Evie's room! I loved hearing & watching Evie sing, so cute! Happy to see your videos whenever you want to post them.
Thank you Gina🥰
Loved seeing you had a new Flosstube up. Love all of the crafting you showed today you both are so talented.
Thank you, Rhonda! 🥰
Love watching your flosstube. Besides enjoying all your crafts, I love to see your books and thrifting,antique finds
Thank you Brenda!
I finally figured out magic circle. But going to try worsted yarn instead if the baby velvet just to learn
I did the same thing until I got the hang of it Tammy😊
Always love your intros!! Beautiful WIPS!! Love the embroidery, Heather!! 💞 Ohhh that strawberry tin is adorable!! Loved listening to Evie singing...she is so adorable!! 😊
You gals make videos whenever you can...we will be here, waiting!!! We are all going to be busier, with outside work! 🌞💚🌷
Very true! Gardening season takes over my life once Spring arrives. I cannot wait! Lol. Have a wonderful week 🥰
I love bunnies too! Found and ordered book all ready. Such a fun video. Love the little sewing machine.
Which book did you get? The Veronique? Have you stitched her patterns before? If not, you’re in for a new obsession 😂🥰
@@CraftyCottageStitches Marmalade
Isn’t it just a precious book? It will be fun to have a basket full of her and her accessories 😊
So nice to see you both and all of the goodness you’re up to. Love what you’re both working on! I used to bobbinate floss, but I find it a little messy when I’m working with it. Can you please show what you do with your pieces of floss when you’re done working with the, color to put it back on the bobbin and keep it neat? I find that the used strands that are shorter fall off the bobbin and that’s when it looks messy to me. I hope I’m explaining my question well enough for it to make sense. Thanks and I’m happy that you’ll be back on a two week rotation!
I wind it the opposite way. Top to bottom if that makes sense and catch in the split
I will show it on our next video😁
@@CraftyCottageStitches yes, that makes sense!
Janette, have you seen the freebie Sweet Sue Bonnet release from Tiger Lily Designs👒 Thanks for the tip on Potter quaker about to start her
I will go check out the freebie! Thank you😊 You will love stitching the sampler. It is so pretty but making extra copies would be very helpful. At least in my head lol
Glad to see you both! And to hear we’ll be seeing you more often. Love the sampler you showed just beautiful! Enjoy yourselves ❤
Thank you, Pam! 🥰
Great video see ya in 2 weeks thank you
Thank you, Libby! Hope you have a fantastic week 🥰
I love all the things you are both making ❤❤❤❤❤😊
Thank you, Sharon! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
Hooray! So happy to hear you are going back to 2 weeks! Your videos make me so happy. Plus to sweet vocal of Scooby Doo by Evie!👏🏻👏🏻🥰🥰 yes tours would be great!😊
Thank you Linda🥰
Both of you always inspire me. Once again, I had to have one of the books you showed. I have made Marmalade and her wardrobe and accessories. So Much Fun! I just went to her website and ordered the pdf for the adorable sweater and cowl pattern. Looking forward to next time.
Oh my! Do you have an Instagram or have you shared her before? She is just so precious and the book is beautiful. 😍
@@CraftyCottageStitches I don t have her with me. I have her to my grand daughter for Easter last year. When I see her next I’ll take some pics and share.
Great Video girls! Thanks Heather for spending my moneyI had to have the book you ordered from Japan! LOL
😁 You will LOVE it.
@@CraftyCottageStitches I know I will can't wait to get it how long did it take you to get yours
What is the name of the book from Japan? Would love to bye it.
As usual another fun video, Heather i have used fusion mineral paint for years….its amazing…..i have repainted over and over when i feel the need to change colours…lolol…also Janette i am just about to make the Knot and Thread mid size bag..i did the large one and i was impressed with her patterns and it carries so much for a fun overnight bag, i did mine with Nantucket……Camille Roskelly…
I have painted my buffet/tv stand two different colors in the last few weeks because I love the paint so much (and obviously the first color wasn’t quite what I envisioned for that piece of furniture). It makes painting so fun and easy! 🥰🥰
So happy to see you ladies❤
Hi, Cathy!! 🥰
💜☮️
😍😍😍
In the Veronique book from Japan, how does the color charting wort?
Its all dmc so its the same as any other chart😊
Love your embroidery it’s beautiful 🤩 you should watch Annas on TH-cam she has beautiful designs. Have a wonderful week and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
Hi, Theresa! Is her channel just called Anna’s? I’ll def check it out!
@@CraftyCottageStitches
I think it also has Asian letters I’m trying to see how I can send it to you.
@@CraftyCottageStitches l think you can check my playlist and pull it from there try that first 😊
Hello Ladies, I am searching high and low for a Cross Stitch pattern by Veronique Enginger - Heidi and her Goats. Heidi is sitting in a field of flowers in the Alps with her goats. I have been told it's in an out of date French magazine but I can't find it anywhere. Do you have any advice on how to find it or where I can search further to get a copy? Thanks so much!
I wish Joni!! That is a unicorn chart for me too. Heidi is one of my very favorite movies. Etsy does have alot of the magazines but I haven’t ran across it yet. Unfortunately you can’t see everything inside. I will continue to look for it and will let you know if I find it. Please do the same! Sorry I am no help but maybe with the three if us searching we will find it😁
@@CraftyCottageStitches ❤️ thank you my favorite story too ❣️!
My mom was Swiss - I love the heritage 🇨🇭I will keep searching. 👍
I know we will find it eventually😁
@@CraftyCottageStitches ❤️
Are you guys gardening yet?
Heather has a tiny bit but the weather has been terrible!! So cold and rain every day
Did you have to pay customs or additional taxes on the Veronique Enginger book? I have been wanting to order it but am afraid of additional costs putting it over my budget.
I didn’t have to pay anything extra than what was submitted through Etsy. When I look, it just shows shipping and taxes on top of the purchase price. The shipping was a little more expensive than what I usually like to pay but maybe that covers customs? I’m not sure. But no extra surprise costs.
Thanks! I ordered it after all. Life is too short to leave things like that on a wish list forever.
@@maryannaphinney3188 it is so (sew) worth it 🥰
Where did you get the small floss box ?
Hi Marie! I have found most of them at Walmart I believe. They are by Darice
Thank you 😊
Do you have a pattern suggestion or TH-cam for my first amigurumi
lepetitsaintcrochet.com/2021/04/16/how-to-crochet-amigurumi-video-tutorial-free-pattern/
Here you go! This is the pattern my mom started with that taught her amigurumi basics. 😍
@@CraftyCottageStitches awesome thank you 😊
Forgot to add loved Evie singing scooby doo
😂😂😂 Can’t forget about that lol
