Happy St. Patrick's Day and have a wonderful birthday. Our weather in the Lubbock area has been cold and rainy, so depending on where you go in Texas you may have spring and or winter type weather. Have a blast with your friend.
A very Happy Birthday! Yours is two days after mine. You are making great progress on our last year birthday start, Blue Rhapsody. It’s a beautiful stitch but you are so very right lots of counting and it takes a lot of time. Safe travels and have most enjoyable reunion with your college friend.
Hi Carolyn Love all of your WIPS - You are making great progress on them. Have a safe trip to Texas and enjoy yourself. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵❤️
Warm and sunny sounds nice. I'm in NM and it has been kind of cold the past few day. It's Marcj 16 today, and it has been kind of on the cold side, snow in the mountains but rain in the valley.
Happy birthday! I'll miss seeing your chatelaine 😢, it's my favorite chatelaine. Scenic farm is beautiful. I hope you have a great time with your friend. Happy stitching 💜
I love your Winter Montage too! And I just checked when winter starts this year - it's the 20th. So you'll have *two* Sundays in December if you choose!👍
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎊🥳🎁🎈 I'm struggling with the Bitty Bowles this year. I'm thinking that I might just collect them, stitch what I can this year, and finish next year. Girl! Just go to the airport and sleep in your car!
Ha ha ha! You are too funny! Tell me why you're struggling with the Bitty Bowls this year - because I feel like I am too - I love them, but just can't seem to get into a groove to finish them each month (let alone FFO them).
Congratulations on your stitching progress, looking forward to seeing the Bitty Bowl Club projects. Congratulations to the winners. Happy Birthday, hope you have an amazing time with your friend.
Hi and and an early Happy Birthday. Enjoy Texas!! About the small pillows, a lot of folks have been getting small magnetic frames to stitch their perforated paper designs. That might be an option for you or at least worth a look. 😊
Thank you for another great stitching update. I hope you have a fantastic trip and a great time away visiting with your friend and hope you have the best Birthday ever!
Happy Birthday and I hope you have a blast with your friend. I did the "Life Is A Bowl of Cross stich" last year and fell way behind. As a matter of fact im working on June from last year!
Hello. Thanks for the stitching update. I resonated with (1) "homebody" because I laughingly tell my sisters and daughters that "guess what, I don't have to leave the apartment (am single) until X date" which is often a week or two away. And, the "have to leave the apartment" means I have a doctor/dentist appointment. I'll leave the apartment to take the trash out to the dumpster or go downstairs in the building to do the laundry or go out to get the mail, etc., OR, to go to a sit & stitch or a stitching group meeting, but, yes, love being retired and able to be a "homebody". (2) "Sunny and warm is just not my vibe". LOL !!! I spent 4th, 5th and half of 6th grade in the greater Seattle area. Must have been formative. For me, a cloudy rainy day is wonderful. My perfect temp requires a sweatshirt and a turtleneck and jeans. Unfortunately, I chose to retire home to St. Louis and that's just not the dress code for much of the year. (3) Finally you used the word "accoutrement" and it warmed cockles of my vocabulary-loving heart. Ever onward and much success in all of your endeavors.
You are so sweet. This message just made my day and warmed my heart! I do love a good cozy, rainy day (it's how my mother used to wake me up for school - "It's gray and rainy out!" and I'd get right up! LOL). I adapted very well to the pandemic - when we were told to stay home. I had zero trouble lol! Hugs to you, sweet soul!
I’m looking forward to your birthday start! It will be fun to see how everyone’s colors will stitch up. Dawn is planning to start it too, and I think she’s leaning towards sticking with the monochromatic look with a variegated thread. Are you able to stitch on the airplane? I always get so much done on travel days while waiting at the gate and on the plane. Definitely take a small or two to have on hand in case you get some time here and there. Have a wonderful trip and a lovely birthday! 🥳
Thank you! I can't stitch on planes (or read) - I mostly just sit there and daydream. :D The friend I went to visit told me to get audiobooks so I did download one before my trip. Love how your Floral Alphabet is coming along!
Carolyn. You talk about wipco all the time and I think I want to try it but don’t know where to find it. Hope you had a fun time in Texas visiting your friend. Our false spring has sprung a leak!! Thanks. Kathie
Thanks, Kathie! I'll explain in this weekend's video - it's in a Facebook group I run with my friend Robyn called Magazine Monthly Cross Stitch Challenge.
Have a great trip, a wonderful birthday and I love your birthday start! I have that pattern too but I can not decide what color to stitch it in? I want to do only one and blue is my favorite but there are some gorgeous purples and greens this year too! 💭 Blessings for Great flights! ✈️ ✈️
Hey sweet almost birthday gal! Your Bitty Bowl bag is so cute. I can understand how difficult it is to flip a pattern since I am trying to do that with the Fox and Rabbit Mystery SAL since I discovered last week that I started it on the wrong side of the fabric, thus making it incorrect in orientation unless I stitch it backwards, and this discovery was made after 2000 stitches. I am going to start February's release soon and if it is too difficult, then I will scrap it and restart it on different fabric and using different thread. I am just really leery of being able to continue to stitch it backwards as the year progresses. Great progress on Alpine Cabin considering the 1/1. I love that you met a major landmark of 5% on Winter Montage. It will actually get 2 Sundays at the end of the year (curiosity was killing this cat lover) since winter officially begins on 12/21 so it will come out 12/22 and 12/29. I so wish that you had more time here in Texas so I could possibly drive to see you for a couple of hours. Maybe we can plan it whenever you come back to Texas if it is logistically feasible, depending on how far away your friend lives since this state is so huge. I hope you have safe travels and that your birthday is filled with much love, laughter and happiness. Are you using the same cat sitter as last time? Love and hugs to you and the boys! Happy stitching and relax as much as you can during your trip. Dawn
Hello my sweet friend! It is so hard to stitch backwards - especially since when I stitch I like to do it to relax. Too much brain power for this gal! I'm excited Winter Montage will be coming back out at the end of the year twice - very fun! And thank you for checking on that. Yes, I used the same cat sitter as last time and I am very happy with her. sending you all so much love!!
Radical idea: Why not just do the bags for Bitty Bowl this year, and to the pillow next? Hope you have a wonderful birthday and trip to see your friend in Texas!
Hi! Oh winter montage! The bitty bowls look so cute. Oh have a great birthday visit! That sounds like fun. Oh hope you do a video! Happy birthday! 🎉 what about those tiny hoops people use for ornaments? Would they fit in one of those? Bye❤
Hi Carolyn! I wanted to participate in the Tour De France this year, do you think you could explain again a bit how that works and stuff? I know it has to do with miles…..but that’s about it. 😸 Thank you!!!
It's through Pine Mountain, but it's closed for the year now. If you watch their Flosstube channel near the end of the year, they will announce next year's bowl club (or whatever they decide to do) - or join their FB page!
Happy Birthday Dear Carolyn! All your stitching is looking stunning. I hope your birthday trip is wonderful!!
Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great time in Texas with your friend. Can’t wait to watch your progress on Spring Montage.
Love your mug Carolyn! I definitely enjoy my time at home! Happy Birthday and safe travels to Texas! Enjoy your time with your friends! ❤️🪡
Your Blue rhapsody is beautiful. Look forward to seeing your progress. Happy stitching
🎶Happy birthday to you!🎶 Have a wonderful, safe trip to your friend’s house.
Happy Birthday Carolyn! Wishing you safe travels, tons of fun and a special treat or two.
Ok thank you for saying that about the dimensions kits. That is what I thought I wanted to do also. Thank you. Have a fun trip and Happy Birthday!
Happy St. Patrick's Day and have a wonderful birthday. Our weather in the Lubbock area has been cold and rainy, so depending on where you go in Texas you may have spring and or winter type weather. Have a blast with your friend.
Have a fantastic birthday trip and enjoy the sunshine we are having here in the northwest. Happy happy birthday 😊
Sounds like great fun coming up. Have a wonderful birthday and safe trip.

@@czookstitch488 I think it's because there is a lot of confetti stitching this time. I also believe that the designs are smaller.
Happy Birthday for today xxx

Happy Birthday, hope you have an amazing time with your friend.
Have a fun birthday!

Carolyn. I think I meant bringo and not wipco. Now I have confused myself. ( not hard to do). Thanks. Kathie
I‘ll be starting floral alphabet with you on Monday. Enjoy your Birthday week 🥳

@@margaretbaker623Thanks! Just thought it would be a stress reducer for something that should be fun.
Whoa...you're a genius!!! Thank you for this idea!!
Love your progress on your wips. Have a wonderful trip to Texas. Happy stitching!
Darn..where in Texas..would have loved to see you
Happy Birthday and have an awesome time with your friend
I was in the Dallas area, but just for 3 days or so - it went too quick! But next time I'll have to stay longer and see other people!
@@czookstitch488 for sure
I'm in the Dallas area
Perfect!!@@nancybareiss7769
Oh where at in Texas? Dress warm! We have already been in the 90’s
I was in the Dallas area! It was perfect weather all weekend.
Hi! Oh winter montage! The bitty bowls look so cute. Oh have a great birthday visit! That sounds like fun. Oh hope you do a video! Happy birthday! 🎉 what about those tiny hoops people use for ornaments? Would they fit in one of those? Bye❤
You are so stinkin' cute! I did find a small hoop that works for the bitty bowls so I am happy!!
Happy birthday! I hope you have a great trip to Texas and visiting your friend. I really love your T-shirt. Where did you buy it from?
It's just from Amazon - I search "cross stitch t-shirts" and plenty of options come up.
Hi Carolyn! I wanted to participate in the Tour De France this year, do you think you could explain again a bit how that works and stuff? I know it has to do with miles…..but that’s about it. 😸 Thank you!!!
Yes! I will explain it in this weekend's video! Thanks for asking!!
@@czookstitch488 aw, you’re the best! 🤗
Happy birthday! I sent you an email about the itty bitty club
Thank you - I'll be sure to check - I'm so behind! :D
I've tried to find your bitty bowl club and cannot find it can you tell me how??
It's through Pine Mountain, but it's closed for the year now. If you watch their Flosstube channel near the end of the year, they will announce next year's bowl club (or whatever they decide to do) - or join their FB page!
Happy birthday & I hope you have a great trip!
Hope you have a great trip to Texas and a wonderful time celebrating your birthday! Blue Rhapsody is beautiful!
Happy Birthday. Enjoy your trip to Texas. Happy Stitching.
