Thank you for the mention <3 I'm watching this in spurts as I've been super sick since Thursday morning. T_T Kind of did some diamond painting.. kind of did some cross stitch. Was working on my snake flower while watching you tonight. Loving the silk cross stitch! I still have to start mine it's buried underneath all the other ones.. I even sort of organized my cross stitch today to get all the ones I want to work on in a pile. One of them is for my friend Stephen who watches my lives and that I talk to every day. <3

Loving both of these. More the Joy Sunday as for some reason I am not a fan of the beaded cross stitch. XD Probably because of diamond painting and perler beads. Also the other time orders are slow is during the month of February for their Lunar New Year as each company has a different week off then.

Hey my sweet stitching sister. I totally understand your thoughts about half or full. I started, as you know by now, 2 over 1 half stitches, and yes it is sometimes confusing but I actually think I can do it. An important thing is to not pull to hard when stitching. Because then there won't be enough room for the stitches in between. So, practice tension, I think, could be a good idea. And stretch the fabric as much as possible, to get the"holes" max visible. I think you can do it, just go slow, like slow-snail-lone 😂 I stitch, pick up, start over and stitch again. We are both new at this, and we have to give ourselves time. Love you hon, thanks for a wonderful stitch video ❤

@@RandomStitcher I still am going back and forth on half or full. 😂 I think I’m going to do half though. Great advice on the the stitching. I think I have a habit of pulling stitches too tight at times. Which also makes it more difficult to do the dreaded frogging as well. I will define slow, especially with my limited stitchy time. But I’m still really excited about it. We shall persevere together my stitchy sister. Love you too my friend. Thank you for always supporting me. 🤗🥰

I went with my Dad every weekend to watch Dodger Stadium being built and spent all my free time with her. Academy Road was originally cut into a road in 1888. They were Irish immigrants and built their home on (Casanova) Academy Road from 1908-1912 and they were married then. Raised 4 boys, she didn’t know what to do with girls and her sons had mainly girls☘️🇮🇪 Strict Irish Catholic family but we sure knew how to have a party. If I win the lottery I want to try to buy our family home back. Properties run about a $1,000,000 now.
