Hello! You convinced me to do the kingdom of books lol. I started it a few weeks ago. I am doing what you have done and not stitching the entire background. How did you decide which outlines to do? It looks like on the top you did some of the brown colors and it looks great, which colors did you stitch on top? Or did you just do your own thing on top? This is the first time im really deviating from a pattern and its really rough figuring it out. I definitely need some definition up top though because the white on top is disappearing in my fabric. Thanks for your help!

That book piece is astonishing!! SO pretty! I just love it!

Love your stitching progress. Can’t wait to see the finished Kingdom of Books and the Christmas one with the church yard and kids Ice skating is beautiful. Your stitching is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤❤

I like how you're doing the house series as one piece. I don't believe I have seen anyone else doing this. The book world piece is beautiful!

Brenda, all projects look wonderful. Can you tell me how you like and how it looks stitching blends one color on first cross second on second leg. Think you are doing a Sea picture and frame maybe you Dad made. Can you see blends doing it this way or do you need to mix order in color to see both.❤

Hi Brenda I always love seeing the progress in your projects. You do such beautiful stitching. The kingdom of books is looking wonderful. You always amaze me at what you do. I have been working on kitting up my 25 new starts for 2025 and along with them I have been looking at some smalls for gifts next year. I will be taking a trip to my LNS Stitchery X-Press and will be picking out material and looking at patterns. I always love going through my stash and picking what I want to stitch. I also noticed that they have projects that are coming out just beading in them and no threads. So I will be looking at them alone. My friend told me they have a lot of beading projects on Facebook. The only problem is I don't use Facebook but I have seen them on Etsy. I am thinking about doing a small ornament and see if I like it as a start. Hope you and your family had a Happy Thanksgiving. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Pat

So many beautiful projects! The books look incredible, and I can't wait to see the finish :) I hope you're having a great holiday season. Happy stitching 💜

Fabulous stitching Brenda! Why do we have these 12 years projects??! Lol - sending love from Wales

Wow the book shelve is almost done. I still remember it when it only had a few books on it.

I love your beautiful stitching! So fun to hear about your life! 😊 your craft area is amazing! I love tours of crafty spaces!

Whaaattt?! It seems like you passed the Tick Tock Test, Brenda. Hahaha! -Aubrey

Go Brenda go! Go Brenda go!! Kingdom of Books!! I resisted for a long while, but every time you showed those fabulous colors, I had to have it. So I did. 😊 I finished it earlier this year (monogamous stitcher here) and I subbed my favorite authors and local library name for the Russian titles on the books. Now looking for a thrifty frame. Love watching your videos! You hold the pieces close to the camera, hold them still and for a nice length of time. 😍

I love the stitch along it’s beautiful

Hi where are you from

I always enjoying seeing your lovely stitching!❤

Loved your flosstube. You always have beautiful stitching. I love seeing all your unique projects. Can you tell mw where you purchased Paint Box by Betsy Morgan (Toy Box Etui)? Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful video Brenda!! Love all your beautiful projects!!!

💜💜💜

So many beautiful projects! I have loved following them all ❤

After watching this awesome flosstube, I now remember why you are one of my favorite flosstubers. Beautiful projects,and always get so much accomplished!

Aw, what a great update! Thank you, Brenda! "Lost No More" looks wonderful in the background!

Wow. Those books. Yay. Thank you for another stitching bonanza!

Love all your stitching Brenda! You're always so inspiring. Happy holiday stitching!

Thank you for the lovely video. It is wonderful to watch someone who can stitch so much on fine fabric. I love all of your work and taste in projects that I can't do, so it is fun to see them on your wall and as you stitch them, thank you for the joy you bring.❤

Thank you so much. Enjoying, insparing since years It's always a pleasure . I like all what you realize. I like your wall changing behind you. Thank you and a great end of the year in serenity .

Hi Brenda. I’m having my morning coffee with you this morning but not wasting time yet because I enjoy all your stitching and you inspire me. Your books are amazing. The colors are incredible. Thank you for sharing. I’ll start stitching in a little bit. ❤❤❤

Hi Brenda! I can’t wait to see the Books finished! I’m also looking forward to seeing your progress on some of your older Christmas projects! I love your Cottage Garden monthly houses too. Have a wonderful couple of weeks.

Your hair looks great! Love the look on you. As always your video was fabulous - amazing stitching and beautiful project choices. Happy Stitching! 🪡🧵 Jacque🐑

I think I was the commenter on your last video asking about your cross stitch rotation 😂 My name is Irish so don't let the extra vowels and consonants put you off! It's pronounced like the word "Una". Its taken from the old Irish word úan, which means lamb because I was born on Easter!

Brenda thank you for sharing.❤ Have a great week.

Hi Brenda. Thanks for the update! Everything you stitched is gorgeous. So close to the end of Kingdom of Books: yay! And the Praiseworthy Stitches piece has been a favourite, ever since you showed that naughty camel years ago. Happy stitching!⚘️

🤩🤩🤩 Merci pour votre vidéo Vos broderies sont superbes

I started ‘snow day’ because you did and was so excited to stitch it on days when it snowed. I’ve jinxed the whole city because we haven’t had a single flake!! (Happy stitching!)

Lovely projects and so much variety. It makes it so much fun to watch.❤

I love your idea to replace the Haunted House with the Tudor House. I’m not a Halloween stitcher so I think I’ll do the same. Your Fabulous Houses done all in one piece is absolutely beautiful. Love your work. ❤

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful !!! Speechless n in awe, love you Brenda 😮😮😮❤

❤🧵🎄

Your Kingdom of Books looks fabulous! I've loved watching the progress of this piece over time😊. Your CGS houses look great as well! I'm always amazed at the gorgeous projects you stitch. Have a lovely couple of weeks😊

I always get a giggle about the runaway camel. That actually happened at a living nativity in the KC area back in 2021! So funny, though hopefully the stitched camel will also safely be recaptured like the live one was. Considering the location was right off I70, which is a crazy busy 6 lane interstate at that point, it could have been a tragedy. Loving the Kingdom of Books. I've really enjoyed watching your progress on that one. And I want to try a Riolis kit - I've heard good things about the fuzzy acrylic floss in those kits. 123Stitch has a sale on a number of them right now, but nothing that screams 'stitch me now' to me. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.

💖💖💖💃💖love your work!

Enjoyed the flosstube. Love seeing what you are working on. I sure believe finishes will be soon. Thanks for always sharing.

Hi Brenda, so glad to see another video up - it always makes my day when you post. I do have a question for you, when you stitch 2 threads over 2 do you have any special tricks for getting your thread to lay nice? Do you railroad most of the time? Hugs ❤

Such beautiful projects! I especially love the houses and the books. It's impressive how many large projects you're working on!

Everything you showed us today is beautiful. I really like the Kingdom of Books. I bought the pattern off of ETSY and want to start it in 2025. I have so many WIPS, it is embarrassing. But it is fun to decide which one I will work on next. I always enjoy your videos. Your smiling face is so welcome. Thanks for making these videos. God Bless.

I loved working on my Fabulous Houses too. I am stitching them separately and I got through month 5. My goal for 2025 is to finish them along with her new offering. Your all on one is stunning. Can’t wait to see the Tudor House.

I so enjoy your flosstubes - love the range of projects that you stitch on. Thank you

I love seeing your progress

Oh my goodness! The Books! I’ve been eagerly watching your progress on it. It looks so beautiful! 😍

Loooove all the wips you show. You're just an enabler. 😅😅

Oh my goodness! You’re almost done with your beautiful books! I remember when you started them! And your Theresa Kogut stitchalong is amazing!! I’m so inspired by your large projects! I keep watching your progress on the Stitching Shelf!! I like hearing how you plan and organize your WIPS. I’m at the very end today of The Christmas List which I want to finish and hang by Christmas when all my 3 sisters and brother will be here! Think I want to finish it into a wall hanging. Ooo I just saw your Praiseworthy Stitches Christmas!! I hope you and your whole family have a very blessed holiday! 🎄🥰
