I have been seeing a lot of people doing this lately and it’s making me think!

You absolutely should!

Thank you! 😊

Oh thank you! I’m a stitcher not a framer so I try to make it as straightforward as possible so that I have more time to stitch!

Thank you for watching for so long! 🌲🌲🌲

Thank you! I showed the start of my butterfly wall in Flosstube 18 in the life updates section. I will show more pictures throughout the year as it grows as well!

Thanks! Sometimes I’m excited to try new things but cross stitch is always the one I come back to

Thank you 😊😊

They really do! And who knows how long your interest in the thing will last, but you sure will continue to get things longer than it does 😆

Thank you! A year flew by 😊

Yes! I moved to Washington for graduate school a few years ago. Threadneedle street is such a gem to have nearby!

Thank you! 😊

Thank you!!

I don’t think it would hide the design at all! I’ve seen a couple people (most notably @imogenxstitch) stitch this in dark/black flops and they have been beautiful!

Thank you! I was afraid that I wouldn’t have left enough fabric, but I got lucky with the piece! Normally my margins would have been smaller!!

Thank you so much! White in grey sounds lovely, I’m really feeling these low contrast color choices lately!

Thanks! I love the look of stitching in black and it’s not as hard as I thought it might be at first - I hope you get the chance to try it!

Yes! For the orange cat, here is my conversion: 646 -> 976, 647 & 645 -> 3826, 844 -> 975, paw: 746

Right! I’m here for the stitching not the framing 😆

Thank you! Glad I’m not the only one with a “good enough for the effort it took” mentality towards framing 😆 I’m so happy with unexpected visitors as well and love that I get to see it on my shelf now. A year really did fly by!

Thanks ❤️ I really like the curved frame and it has a great spot on the bookshelf now! Nugget is a very big fan of the new daybed, it’s made him much better behaved in the office to have a place to cuddle up and nap!

Oh thank you! 😊 they had been sitting in my closet for so long and I was starting to get sad that I didn’t have them ready to put around the house. I am running out of space for my stitching though! Time to gift some of my smalls I think 🤔 thank you for the kind words ❤️

@STEMxSTITCH for my smalls I was thinking about a large frame that is sectioned for several photos and just putting all of them in there as a mini gallery for the random things I've made. Just wanted to share this idea in case you can't bear to part with the little ones!

@@wickedkat5061 that’s a wonderful idea!

What a gorgeous sounding color choice! Nugget loves his perch and has a fine time jumping into it. He is a larger cat, even at the heathy weight he is at now he is around 14 lbs and it’s no problem, just have to make sure the window is clean and the suction cups are stuck on really well. He is pretty sure footed though.

Glad it was helpful! I’m so excited to try out some of these new fabrics and to see how I like 32 count!

Thank you! I love it too - such a lucky find and so unique!

That’s such a bummer to hear, but I am so happy that you found your way back! Hope you enjoy your catch up 😉

They are Zephyr Mood on Etsy! And thank you!

Please do! I would love to see others do this 😊 happy to share any details or answer any questions!

Thank you so much! 😊

That’s a great idea, I hadn’t thought of that! All of the oval hoops I have seen are a strange plastic material that is molded to look like wood (which is not my favorite), but maybe there are some real wood ones out there too?

I would say you totally should! You just really have to push through the painful amount of data organization it takes 😆

That’s awesome! Mine are kind of a weird size since they are on 18 count but I think I can make it work with the right frame. For the orange cat, here is my conversion: 646 -> 976, 647 & 645 -> 3826, 844 -> 975, paw: 746

Thank you, and yes I can definitely show that! I’ll make a note to show some more details there in my next video, maybe I’ll even frame The Goldfish on camera for ya, so please keep an eye out! A couple notes for now though - I don’t leave much border because I don’t lace these finishes or anything like that. I actually just take the back of the frame out, line up the cross stitch inside as best I can (I keep the glass/plastic in) and the place the back on again. There is a tiny bit of extra fabric that sticks out the side of the back that I tug on to make it as straight as possible, then I just close up the tabs and that’s it!

It is, isn’t it! It’s from Lola Crow Cross Stitch, who you can find on both instagram and Etsy by that name. Watching HAEDs grow might be the best part about cross stitching - it’s so so satisfying!

Thanks 😊 you’ll get a front row seat 😉

Thanks Dad, love you too!

Yes, it's Lola Crow Cross Stitch! You can find her on instagram and Etsy by that name! Her designs are absolutely incredible.

It can be hard! I also have so many patterns I want to do, I keep them all in a list so that I can hopefully get to them over time. But it's like a "to read" list - mine keeps getting longer and rarely gets shorter! There's just so much good stuff out there.

Love hearing other people's plans! Good luck, I hope 2024 brings you lots of wonderful stitching and crocheting time!

Thank you so much! That one really is a stunner, huh!

Thank you! Looking forward to making my 2023 stats video soon!

I always love planning Wipgo! Unexpected visitors is the perfect new year start in my opinion!

Thank you Martha! I’ll definitely look into that framing option, I’ve never heard of it before. Have the merriest of Christmases!

I want to see yours too! 😉
