Your finishes are awesome. I’m so impressed with your HAEDs and love the birds and blooms. I was excited to hear how busy you’ve been for all the right reasons. Sounds like the retreat was spectacular. Glad you are doing better since your surgery. You made my afternoon after a morning of our “volunteer” work. Best life ever. ❤️
Congratulations on your FFOs and finishes! Beautiful! Especially the Holly Hobby and poppy. Your Birds and Blooms look amazing. Hope you recover completely soon. Take care and thanks for sharing.
Love your finishes, especially that poppy one. Love your progress on your wips. Your birds and blooms is gorgeous. You know, you allowed to say "no" if you get to overwhelmed. lol Happy stitching!
Always wonderful to see your cheerful self! The finishes are fabulous! When I saw the truck I thought of blue buttons, but your key idea is adorable. Ooh! Birds and Blooms is so nearly done! Lovely! Best wishes 😊
Really enjoyed your update Elisa and Congratulations on your FFOs they are beautiful...love them all 💕!! You are so very close to a finish on Birds of Blooms...its Absolutely Gorgeous. Love your husband's piece and all I could think of was tiny license plates...maybe from scrapbooking. Or a real truck key or keys 🔑 🤔 . But license plate was my main thought. Your so very crafty and im sure whatever you come up with will be so much better than what ever I could come up with. On the floss...I love the metallic floss that starts with an E...it would really pop like you want. Those glasses were Amazing...you rock them well !! There is a saying that you need to practice saying ...."im sorry but I can't right now". Nobody will be mad or upset....you have to take some time for you and yours too. Prayers things slow down a bit for you. Hope you have a great stitchy week or month. Until later...enjoy whatever your stitching 😊
Great to see you again! Your finishes are awesome! Birds & Blooms looks amazing. That bear pattern is precious. Reminds me of my autistic son & I. I have always told him we're gonna be okay babe...we got this. Sorry you had to go through all that with your Dr. Sounds so painful. Hope you have a great weekend. Much love ❤
Great to see you. I’m excited to see that full coverage project with flowers and birds all finished. It’s beautiful Idea for retreat gifts. You can stitch tiny flowers and make them into bottle cap minders/pin cushions
I got so excited I paused your video right in the middle for truck framing suggestions: 1. you can get car (truck) key blanks at Lowes or Home Depot, 2. If he has a preference for a make, like Ford or Chevy, you can find the actual emblems (pulled off old junkers) on places like etsy and ebay. That would look so cool on that frame! (Also, I love what you did with the Holly Hobby frame - what an inspiration. I keep forgetting that painting things myself is an option when I see things like that in the store.)
You rocked those glasses! Your finishes look amazing. One of the HAEDs that I am working on has crazy confetti. It takes forever!!! My goal is to do 1000 stitches a month on it. I can't wait to see the finished Birds! Thank you for sharing!
It was so fun to visit with you again! Love the projects but the company was even better. I really hope you get to have some down time. I know how it feels with all the socializing and the volunteer work. It feels good but there needs to be some balance right.
So good to see you again sweetheart ❤️. Congrats on the finishes and ffos! They look amazing, love how you finished the. Love the new pattern from Cross Stitch Studio. I hope you don’t wait to long to stitch it. It’s beautiful ❤️. I hope you have a great couple of weeks, stay safe and happy stitching always ❤️❤️
Fantastic finishes! That poppy in the black frame is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! Love those glasses too! The 825 looks like DMC Light Effects, a metallic. It can be a little difficult to use. Stitch a little and see how it goes. The one with the "C" is etoile which I recently used for the first time and is pretty easy to use. Great video! --Deb
Hi Elisa! Love your Birds in Bloom. Can't wait to see it finished. Awesome video. Thanks for picking my name. I know a lot of people cannot say my last name. It's ok. No need to apologize. It's pronounced like the word "true". Thanks again and have a great day!
I love your ffos. Your birds in bloom is so gorgeous. The etoile is the floss with the little bit of sparkle. The first one your showed. It is easy to stitch but not a lot of contrast. The other color which would show up better is not fun to stitch with, in my opinion.
Congratulations with your finishes. Wauw you going great with your birds and blooms, so beautiful. For the truck for your husband, maybe it need some trees on the side for a drive in the woods, i also like the stars if you want to keep it simple. Did you see the free bouqets from jeanette douglas, that is maybe someting small to stitch for a gift There are 12 of them so you can see what you like. And they are free until dec. Happy stitching and till next time.
Hello Elisa, first of all your FFO’s are beautiful, but the poppy is breathtaking! On the truck, I like the idea of the old key, but perhaps do you have any old vehicle key that would tie in to the piece? The checkered flag is cute-can you get a little piece of checkered flag color ribbon? I’ve done small wrenches and even a spark plug in decorating stuff for my husband at Christmas. I think Tim Holtz has little gears that might work. Your stitching is so well done! Thank you for sharing…
I was actually thinking of Tim Holtz’ gears as well. I thought I had some but must have gotten rid of them. I’ll have to look through my stash. I may even have his dies. Thanks for the input.
Wow! so close on the bird piece now! :D with dmc E-series. it is not fun to work with, but i think it would look the best. But it is horrible to stitch with. my tutankhamun piece and my long dog both uses it and it looks good, but you really need to work with short strands and have a good mood kind of day. and dont worry about the give away! :) life and health comes first no matter what =) really nice to see you back! :D
The one with the C is Etoile DMC. The one with the E is DMC light effects, which is a metallic and is the devil’s butt hair to work with. I would definitely choose the C820 which is so much nicer to work with, I’ve used it on several projects and it is beautiful stitched up.
Congratulations on your fabulous finishes!!!!! My favorite is the poppy…it definitely pops(😂) with the frame you used. Just out of curiosity….where in Colorado do you live? I grew up in Ft. Collins and now live in Broomfield. Thanks for another entertaining video. Looking forward to seeing your birds and blooms finish soon. Lori
If hubby is into DIY why not order some DIY charms and glue them around the frame? The little girl in her frame looks amazing, what sort of paint did you use to repaint it, I'd like to give something like that a try The red flower really does pop in the black frame it looks amazing! The doc sounds a bit of a butcher, did you make a complaint? How about a wooden floss holder card with the details of the retreat etched/burnt into it or a scissor fob personalised to the retreat group
I used cheap paint from the craft store. Nothing fancy. The retreat I go to is not for stitchers. They do all sorts of crafts but a scissor fob with the retreat information is a great idea!
Oh my that flower in the sunflower frame is soooo cute and so is the holly hobbie finish!!!
Your finishes are awesome. I’m so impressed with your HAEDs and love the birds and blooms.
I was excited to hear how busy you’ve been for all the right reasons. Sounds like the retreat was spectacular. Glad you are doing better since your surgery. You made my afternoon after a morning of our “volunteer” work. Best life ever. ❤️
I agree, keeping busy for the right reasons and helping others truly is the best life. 💜
Congratulations on your FFOs and finishes! Beautiful! Especially the Holly Hobby and poppy. Your Birds and Blooms look amazing. Hope you recover completely soon. Take care and thanks for sharing.
Its good to see you smiling again. This glasses are hilarious. Glad birds and blooms grabbed your interest again you're making great progress.
Love your finishes, especially that poppy one. Love your progress on your wips. Your birds and blooms is gorgeous. You know, you allowed to say "no" if you get to overwhelmed. lol Happy stitching!

That poppy is stunning.
Your birds are coming out nicely! Happy stitching!
Beautiful finishes! Love the birds and blooms so awesome. Happy stitching
Thanks Nina. Looking forward to your next video.
Enjoyed you again! Second choice on the tiles. For a retreat idea, stitch a flower on perforated paper, and make a pin out of it. Easy peasy!
That’s actually very similar to what I was thinking. 👍
Great video Elisa, the garden birds is fab!

Oh wow! The are great suggestions. He transports cars for a living. I’m sure he has spare keys around here somewhere.
E you are so funny! I like the idea of finishing the truck piece with the 'road' or with the stars. Happy stitching!
Good ideas! Thanks Lidia.
You rocked those glasses! Your finishes look amazing. One of the HAEDs that I am working on has crazy confetti. It takes forever!!! My goal is to do 1000 stitches a month on it. I can't wait to see the finished Birds! Thank you for sharing!
Little metal lunch boxes and thermos I think would be cute. John deer cap.
That would be awesome
It was so fun to visit with you again! Love the projects but the company was even better.
I really hope you get to have some down time. I know how it feels with all the socializing and the volunteer work. It feels good but there needs to be some balance right.
Make a scissor fob , a little stuffed pillow. All crafters use scissors.
So good to see you again sweetheart ❤️. Congrats on the finishes and ffos! They look amazing, love how you finished the. Love the new pattern from Cross Stitch Studio.

Washers and bolts also. Something mechanic related.
A wrench instead of a key.

Hooray Lourdes! Can you message me on Instagram so we can discuss your prize?

How about using the truck stitching frame for where he hands the car 🔑 when he comes 🏡
Congratulations with your finishes. Wauw you going great with your birds and blooms, so beautiful. For the truck for your husband, maybe it need some trees on the side for a drive in the woods, i also like the stars if you want to keep it simple.

and dont worry about the give away! :) life and health comes first no matter what =) really nice to see you back! :D
I wish there was someone like you near me to help with gridding!
Check out Jennifer Apodaca on TH-cam. I followed her tutorial.
@@e_craftingincolorado Thank You
The one with the C is Etoile DMC. The one with the E is DMC light effects, which is a metallic and is the devil’s butt hair to work with. I would definitely choose the C820 which is so much nicer to work with, I’ve used it on several projects and it is beautiful stitched up.
The devil’s butt. LOL. You had me cracking up.
I agree with trying to find a car key or maybe a Ford or Chevy emblem.
Congratulations on your fabulous finishes!!!!! My favorite is the poppy…it definitely pops(😂) with the frame you used. Just out of curiosity….where in Colorado do you live? I grew up in Ft.

Do you have an actual old car key? They used to say Ford, chevy, ect or maybe old key ring with car symbol ? Just a thought🤔🤔
Where do you order fabric for your haed patterns?
Magic Hour Needlecraft on ETSY. they have fantastic customer service
@@e_craftingincolorado Thank you so very much.
