That coin purse is adorable. I have the kit I just need to stitch it and I’m so glad to hear that. It was so easy and fun to stitch up but I am wondering if one could stuff it? With it being perforated paper I’m kind of a frayed that probably not, but I guess I could do it on black Ada and then stuff it. Any recommendation whether I should attempt to stop that or not? Since how some people make pillows out of their Crosstitch projects.

Hi Christine! 👋🏻 I really enjoy your vlog style videos and love seeing Mary in her everyday life. ❤️ I’ve looked at that Paris Flower Market by Dimensions a few times myself and seeing you stitching it makes me think I may need to add it to my stash. It’s so pretty and seems to be stitching up fairly quickly. You’ve made great progress on it. Thanks for sharing your stitching and your puppy with us. 😄

@calico_whimsy Ай бұрын
Ah yes, the frozen meals are a game changer. A lot of people like the Kong to fill, but Mary never took to it, but she loves the Toppl by West Paw. Also I also make her frozen treats in a thing called a Woof Pupsicle. There are all kinds of ideas online on what to fill them with. Plain yogurt, kibble (soaked in water) and also different flavors of baby food! She also loves frozen broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, and a variety of fruit straight from the freezer. Honestly, she eat better than my boys 🤣I might do a video about it someday :)

Lovely update Christine,I m glad you’re able to get more stitching done these days, don’t apologise for longer videos I could listen to your chat all day… the Paris market is beautiful, you’ve made a lovely start, maybe I’ll get this one at some point. I must look at Mill Hill as haven’t had any new in a while, though I have the ‘Stick’ kits to stitch. Miss Mary is maturing nicely, you have done well by her by putting in the work and getting her training in place, one day she will be a super calm girl and you’ll have plenty of years of joy together. Have a nice week ahead, and a nice June. Looking forward to seeing your next update..enjoy your day today ❤

Hi. Just found you, not cross stitched for years due to arthritis. but, these kits are gorgeous, I think I may have another go. I could stich for an hour or so, but, never thought about just dong a small section at a time. I am more patient now and think I will get my unfinished things out again and have another crack at it. so glad I found your channel, that Flower market is really special.

Just found your video, I have some of the same kits you have. Have wanted some that you have, enjoy looking at them like you do. I also know I'm not going to be able to stitch all of them. I have given many to the Salvation Army and now I have started to break some of the kits down. I keep the thread, fabric and hoops and give the patterns away. That way I am getting some extra fabric and thread to use with something else. I retired in 2020 and there's just not enough time for all that I like to do.
