You helped me realize that I was railroading too far from the stitch. Railroading as close to the stitch as possible has really evened out my work. More importantly, this video has given me a better ‘twisty sense’ of my thread. This seems so fundamental to cross-stitch, but I rarely see it mentioned in foundational videos. Thanks for the inspiration and skill level-up! 🍄

Simple but brilliant idea. Was wondering how to best manage the colors! Need to boost your mic. A little quiet compared to the music. Also be careful with showing designs in terms of copyright. Nice job!

Great video-love the ducks! Congratulations on the impending arrival of your little girl.😊Don’t worry too much about buying stuff for your baby. You’d be surprised at how many things are not necessary or even useful. Babies aren’t small for very long and they don’t need much. Enjoy the journey!!

On the gray floss on the snowman - l would leave it and continue as you are going. Snow is shadowed naturally with light variations. If you still don't like it later, you could use one strand of your new thread and stitch over the lighter gray in tiny portions to put light and dark together. Unless you think it is bulky. Though getting snow smooth is harder than you think and might do.

Thank you for your comment and suggestion much appreciated! I did try adding a thread over the top of the stitches but it didn’t look as neat as the others so I have decided to take all the stitches out.
