I love your gentleness and pacing…. as it suits my “sense and sensibilities “……smiling here….I too grabbed a cup of coffee….picked up my latest project and can really listen so much better with “something in-hand”…..I watch and listen to many floss-tubers/ Book Reviewers as yourself as I am a very Happy 73 year-old Ager…..retired High School teacher and life- long learner….I just appreciate when people find themselves….hiccups and all……and I know people want to put their best foot forward……but ironing a project for presentation is yes very nice…..but come on it’s a work in progress like all of us…..Blessings
Aw thank you! It’s taken me a long time to not scrutinize every aspect of myself, and 10 years ago you would have never gotten me to film a video where you had to see my face the whole time. Maybe it comes with age to just not care what people think too much! I agree, I like to see an ironed project, but the ones I’m actively working on… nooo thank you! 😂
Hi, Rainey! I loved stitching with you tonight! Your fabric choices for the Our Father and the baby gift are lovely! I cannot wait to see more progress on those! Yay for your 5% goal for your full coverage pieces.😊 I need to set some goals for some more bigger finishes by setting small goals within the big project. Enjoy your April and definitely let us know what you decide to do for your birthday project!🦋💙🧵🪡
Yes! I love the idea of smaller goals within goals. For some of your samplers you could have a goal to finish a motif a month or something like that. A little mini finish! I realized just now that I don’t think I even said what fabrics I was using for most of my projects. 🤦🏼♀️ Rookie mistake!
Oh! Socks and vintage samplers! That’s so exciting! lol I watch people in vlogs pour soooo much creamer in their mugs and I’m like AHHHH!! 😂 you are one of those, aren’t ya?? 😂
Hi Rainey! Great video, enjoyed it all from the lovely mug at the beginning to the good bye at the end and all the stitchy goodness and random thoughts in the middle. So fun! Thanks for keeping me company during stitching!
Huzzah to a page finish!!🎉 looks incredible!! Okay old man cough can be edited out but that is the ONLY exception!😝 You call it "hot mess express " i call it highly entertaining!😂 Thanks for a great update, Rains! 😉😊🪡🫶🏻
You have so many great projects. I love that mini night cafe piece -the colors are so vibrant. I always enjoy seeing your mini the library because you started in a different place than I did, so it’s really fun to see a different part of the project coming to life. The baby piece is cute! Would you say a Nurge hoop is a compromise between a regular hoop and a Qsnap? I like Qsnaps, but I get very frustrated that they don’t seem to stay tight. Happy stitching!
Aw thank you! I love seeing your Library too for the same reason! lol I would say I think it’s a good compromise. I think it stays tighter than the Q-snaps and has the weight of a hoop, although I haven’t tried the biggest Nurge yet.
Thank you for the very kind shout out!!! I am a paramedic and an LPN. I’m trying to cross train into paralegal but we’ll see lol. I’m currently sporadically watching your booktube vlogs but I’ll probably circle back for the rest later depending on the time of the year like the Shaketube and Victober. Your friend is going to love that birth sampler!
Girl my pieces are never ironed unless it’s a wip parade lol Mini night cafe is looking so so good! I may have to get a nurge to try And just for the record we are holding you to the fact that you admitted you need to start more things… hehehe I still have 2 projects I have started on my birthdays that are in my rotation oops lol
First and foremost: THAT MUG! it’s gorgeous 😍😝☕️👊🏼 Now onto the real business lol. Congrats on the page finish for Night Cafe! (Great timing 😎👏🏼) It is just absolutely stun-ning. “My arm is sore I need more coffee” 🤣☕️ Truth. We should just follow every phrase with ‘I need more coffee’😂 Ok I think I actually messaged you about the other things I wanted to say 😊❤ I was fully entertained the whole time. Ttfn! 🥰😘😘
Hey Rainey, it was nice catching up with you, your afremov, looks so good. Question on the nurge, does it smoosh your stitches? And yes do start someth8ng new, bc it will never get finished if you don’t start 😂
I haven’t noticed that it does, but I’ve never been super worried about that. Probably no more than a hoop would. Thanks! I’m loving Night Cafe! I have to make myself stop working on it sometimes.

Your Mini Night Cafe is looking amazing!! 😍 And I kind of like the idea of you picking out what your friends work on for your birthday - sounds fun!
Thank you! It’s amazing what a daily stitch goal will do.
Lol I kinda like the idea too! I should have people sign up to be told what to do. 😂
Loving you stitching and watching both reading and stitching .love the pictures .❤enjoy all of them
Aw thank you!

I like a little coffee in my cream.
I Love Welcome Little Stanger. ❤
I am on a knitting socks kick and cross stitch vintage samplers. 🤷♀️😊

lol aw thank you! Man, I really was a rambly goofball this month wasn’t I? 😂
@@RaineyDayReads Not at all! I enjoy the unscripted-ness. It's very relatable...so that makes us fellow goofballs??? 😂 Enjoyable, that's what it is!
@RenewingStitches lol oh good!

😂 oh good I’m glad it was entertaining! I swear I did nothing other than drink coffee and look for pattern info when I edited stuff. 😂
This vid was so sincere and present. Love love enjoyed!
Thank you!
LOL…you are so funny!! Great progress on everything!!

lol I thought it was paramedic but then I remembered paralegal too and confused myself mid-stream 😂
@@RaineyDayReads lol happens to me 2. I started talking notes when I watch other peoples FTs so I don’t forget during mentions.
@@theokiestitcher lol clearly I’m going to have to employ this technique also.
Yes I am that person. 😂
