I'm back to see you again! I loved your finish and the Welcome to the Forest is so pretty. I always use beads instead of doing French knots. The items in your BNS box were very nice and useful. I'm on the wait list. Have a great 2 weeks and see you soon.
Thanks so much for the shoutout! I enjoyed seeing what you are working on. That dragon will be spectacular when it’s finished and the crab is so cute! ☺️
Always enjoy seeing all your stitching progress. Your always stitching some really beautiful pieces. Your Autumn dragon is looking amazing, I love all the beautiful colours. Like you I think white back stitch doesn't always look great. I sometimes struggle to be satisfied with my crossstitched stitches when I'm using white thread. Happy stitching 😊❤
Try a magnetic frame for your perforated paper projects, Create Nostalgia are now stocking them, I have one on the go at the moment, complete game changer especially beading. Loving the stitching progress, enjoyed having your videos popping up a little more again 🙂
It's was a nice mix, I love the pattern 😍 going to be chipping away at welcome to the forest hopefully in August but for now my dragon is back out, aiming for 60% 🤞
Such a cute 🦀!!!! Love all ur wips, we have a similar esthetic! I feel u on french knots! I mean, i dont mind doing them; they can really add that extra bit of detail for a piece, but ive noticed i dont really like the way white french knots look...or really any light color. To me, i enjoy the look of my knots more in a darker floss. And 2 stranded ones as opposed to a 1 stranded knot. I recently finished a 🍓 piece, and all the seeds were supposed to be done w 1 strand of white, but i ended up doing 2 so they look a tad bigger than called for but alot neater. And i mean they look okay, but im going back n forth trying to decide whether its worth 🐸 em all and redoing with little white beads. But i also kinda just want to be done w it and reserve that stitchy time for other projects...lolol Love the stitchy box!! Happy stitching 🐈⬛ 🪡 ❤️
Hi hun. Lovely stitching as always. I'm just the same when stitching in hand. My hand starts to hurt so always use a frame and stand if possible. Have to watch some of your recommendations. Take care. Xx
Thank you for another wonderful video 😊 I always enjoy watching you and your WIPs. Today's favourite is the autumn dragon 😍 You're doing sooo well. Thank you for sharing.
@CrossStitchBunny Pre-recorded Q&A stitch with me is also a good option. I find stitch with me videos relaxing and entertaining, and I believe you would be great at them 😊
Just coming on to say Create Nostalgia are selling the magnetic frames to hold perforated paper projects. Look really helpful, Lancashire Stitcher has mentioned them in her latest video xx
Hey I love seeing your progress so much, you are a beautiful stitcher. In your next video could you possibly explain the difference between stitching with Royal Broderie and CXC threads? And why you sometimes choose one over the other? I would be super grateful! 🙏🏻 I bought some Royal Broderie recently and I'm not sure whether I will prefer it over CXC
For your hand issues, I've seen some flosstubers are using magnetic frames in place of hoops to hold perforated paper projects while they are stitching them. Maybe you could try one and see if it helps. 😊
Hi becky, I'm so glad I mentioned the issue because you're the third person whose now told me these magnetic frames are a thing! I didn't know they existed and I'm going to check them out. Thank you! 😊
Hello Lauren…I am another person who cramps when stitching in hand. For the white back stitch, have you considered using white Sulky? One strand almost equals two of traditional floss and outlines nicely. 🦉🧵🪡🌞🐶
I've never used sulky threads. I have looked at them before but I think they come in different ranges of different weights when I've looked and I'm always confused about which one it is people buy for cross stitch. x
@@CrossStitchBunny I use 12 weight for stitching one thread on 32 and 36 count. Purchaseable at Amazon….a small spool goes further than you think. If you look at my last flosstube my Vivster flag for Canada is in Sulky threads, 12 weight. I use a lipstick holder to house my small spools. It is a round thread not flat so it shows up nicely when outlining with it.
Can you please show us a picture of what the dragon will look like when you show your stitching? It’s hard for me too comprehend with the finished piece is.
Hi, i do always pop a photo up of the full pattern for every WIP. The dragon full pattern you can see on the screen at 6mins 28secs into the video before I hold up my progress 🙂

Yes me too, I have always used a frame but I now don't understand how I ever managed without a stand 😆 I'd be lost without my lowery.
Thank you for another wonderful video 😊 I always enjoy watching you and your WIPs. Today's favourite is the autumn dragon 😍 You're doing sooo well.
Thank you for sharing.
I am loving the Dragon at the moment, stitching on him tonight!
@CrossStitchBunny You should do a live stitch with me one day. When you have time and if you're able to, of course 😊 Happy stitching 🪡
I'm not even sure how to do a live 😅
@CrossStitchBunny Pre-recorded Q&A stitch with me is also a good option. I find stitch with me videos relaxing and entertaining, and I believe you would be great at them 😊
So glad I didn’t cause the frogging! 😆 oooh yes I do recommend the starless sea I love the night circus by Erin morganstern
Nope, it was all me 🐸🤦♀️
