The new statement couldn’t have been more timely for sure. Loving your “vibes not plans” for 2025. I’m not a planner either- just stitch what I want, because I want to enjoy my hobby and not be stressed out by my hobby. But I’m me, so I really enjoy listening to the plans other people make. I dunno. I’m weird.

Haha love that you told us all to be kind to ourselves after you bagged yourself on the regular all the way through the video - I’m going to come over there and force feed you your own medicine missy! Grrr, you are to be kind to yourself too!! Anyway hope by now you are feeling much better, I am so far behind my flosstube watching but will catch up for sure. Take care Nic x. PS only kidding about coming over, have you seen the price of flights?!

All of your WIPs are beautiful. The magnet system to see your WIPs is brilliant. I totally agree about needing to have some guidelines otherwise I could just sit there knowing I want to stitch but not sure on what and then a hour will pass before you know it and I haven't stitched anything. Every time I see your sing a sampler I think I should get mine going. I got floss and linen for it earlier this year. Maybe this will be the year 😊 thank you for all that you share. Happy stitching for 2025 ❤

excellent video, going with the vibes for 2025 is the best idea imo haha, i'll be doing the same! looking forward to seeing your progress this year! i'd also be interested in Blossom Goddess :) i got into cross stitching in the middle of last year and it's really grabbed my interest, I'd like to stitch a wide variety of things/techniques and on different fabrics (so far I've only used aida) while also getting things second hand and supporting small creators/business owners wherever i can

I’m not the same but I do like a routine and found stopping work difficult for that reason. I tended to have 2 routines to choose from - work days and weekends. And I just have to ‘use’ the weekend routine for holidays and now non work. Maybe you can have a set of routines to choose from?

You're not an awful person Helen. I say this with a tinge of selfishness because I've done similar thinga with missing events in my calendar. It's hard to come up with a system that works with a distracted mind. I still haven't figured out that one yet.

So sorry that you all were so ill last week. Hope you all feel much better in time for the holiday! I absolutely relate to your bus anxiety. When I lived in Scotland, I used to fret over the bus all the time, but especially when grocery shopping. Never knowing if the bus would be full when it came by and if there would be room for me and my grocery bags was so stressful! I did love the public transportation there (we have so little of it here), but the busses just about drove me mad.

Laughed when you said you hate the wind, it had just picked up here but like mad hot summer north west wind blowing a gale at 11pm at night, crazy AF. I’m watching our patio chair cushions and thinking I might be getting them back off the neighbours tomorrow. Hope you stay clear of the school lurgies, be poor timing to be sick now! Take care, Nic x PS lovely to see your Sing A Sampler get an airing :)

So many beautiful works in progress, Helen :) I can definitely relate to your feeling of "it's a process" as you set up your new crafting space. It's hard to be in flux, waiting for new furniture, etc., before you can feel truly settled. From what I saw on IG, you did a lot of work swapping the rooms! Have a great week and happy stitching 💜
