Hope u had a fantastic holiday!!! 🎄 🎅 🌟 🎁 Gateway pattern 😂 omg I lost it. I am SO easily enabled w allllllllll the designs- that term describes it perfectly! Lolol Have u seen the mystery sal that autumn lane stitchery is doing?! It starts on the 5th I think it said. I reeeaaallllllllllly wanna do it, but I know I shouldnt, but I really want to, but I want to be good, but if someone else I know is maybe gonna start it too I wouldn't be able to say no 😜 it's called winter village. Idk as I'd keep up on it cuz like u there's also about 50 designs I'm itchin to start (that's a lie, it's more lol), but I'm SO tempted to get in on it partly to say I got in on it😂 Love your mr.marshmallow finish! I have that pattern simmering in my 🛒 at hobby house...among other things 😂. I have a very similar ort jar! I don't separate out by years tho; each project has its own little container for its orts, and then when I finish it I get alot of joy emptying that into my larger one lol. Very ceremonial 😜 Happy stitching Wendy!!! Absolutely LOVE watching you 🐈‍⬛🪡❤️

Hi Wendy! I hope you had a very happy holiday ♥️ love your little stocking finishes! Festive Forest is so cool! Now I am hoping both of those are released next year 😅 All of your planned starts look like so much fun! I LOVE your Pirate’s Code Wipgo idea 🖤 low pressure plans are where it’s at! Your quilt is fantastic! I too have a quilt I made for my husband that needs to be quilted. He will have it one day 😂😂😂 Thank you for always making me smile, laugh, and cry a little too ♥️ Big hugs!

I love your flosstube. I would stitch pretty much everything you have. I like to take screenshots of the patterns with the transcript on the side. I’m having trouble getting shots with the top of the book where the titles are. Could you please lower the patterns, or pull them back to see the whole front pattern page at one time. Thanks. I want to see more🙂

I was in CO over Christmas week--I was very balmy weather, indeed! A little snow would have been welcome, but it was still a festive and fun time. The neighborhood was lit up! 🎄🎄🎄 I hope your Christmas was superlative!! Happy New Year! ❤💚❤💚

I LOVE your little thoughtful moments at the end of your videos. Sometimes it is just the thing I need to hear ❤

Your videos always bring a smile to my face and a lightness to my heart. Thank you for being you!

Festive forest looks so good! Great chatting with you at the jingle ball!

I’m playing catch up and watching your earlier videos. Thank you so much for making me laugh. I think my husband is starting to worry as I stitch and laugh while stitching. He keeps coming by and saying what are you watching??

So cute! Love your WIPs, finished, haul!! 😊beautiful knitting too! I love birds! Amazing! Cool quilt!

We don’t really have a holiday to look forward to in winter here in Oz, thoughts of spring gets us through

I LOvE your festive forest. Wish I could have gone to the Jingle Ball. Are you doing the Kathy Barrick as a stocking or sampler? I’m waiting for my NPIs for that one. Your quilt is so wonderful ❤.

I have always wondered what ORTs stood for!!!! I enjoy your videos

Thank you so much Wendy for what you said at the end. It really was just what I needed to hear 💜 Also, in answer to your question, I am Australian and luckily we have a number of winter birthdays in our family to get us through, but I'm always looking forward to spring! 😁

Merry Christmas. I stitched the shark one and really enjoyed it.

omg your quilt is amazing! and that video of you showing it is priceless. Merry Christmas Wendy and thank you for making me laugh :)

Merry merry Christmas 🎄 Enjoying your giggle this day after the festivities ❤ everything looks so good ! Hope you have some wonderful stitching time 😊

Merry Christmas!& Happy New Years!☕💖🙂subscribed.👍😎

Big congrats on your Haunted cowl. I've got the pattern plus this year's but couldn't ever decide on which color group from Miss Babs yarn. Yours looks great!! Best wishes to your husband's new knee and new "life on the high seas".

Dang you and your revenge patterns! That Renato Parolin made me pause and google.... I've done similar for my WIPGO board this year, I put all my projects into categories and then randomly placed the categories into the board. Then I covered the board with post-it notes with the numbers, so I have no clue which square is which! I actually did this in October, just to make sure that I forget. My middle square (13) is a "free choice" so depending on how I'm feeling, it will be a new start or I'll just pick whatever project I'm feeling at the time. Always love catching up with you! Love your life update, over here we can register our wish to be a donor on our drivers licences. It's still up to the family to make the final decision, but mine know that since I want to be cremated, I don't need to be a "pretty corpse", I am to be donated in any way that can be used. It's a wonderful way to have a piece of your family live on

I'm so intrigued by your Pirate WIPgo idea!.....hmmmmmm....Also: Thank you so much Wendy!!! for your messages of positivity in a rather dark world, I can't tell you how much I appreciate that. I hope your guy recovers nicely and quickly and gets to follow his dream. ❤ Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!!

Shows that a sense of style doesn't just come from brands, it comes from personal pairing and attitude. I love collecting kislux bags in different designs. The replicas give me more options. Do what you love with your money.

Waterbirds is looking fantastic! Sometimes the backstitching is worth it.😆Sugar Plumb Dreams is cute. I would have to change the cats to chihuahuas.😄 Hope we get to meet at the JingleBall!

Your revenge patterns r my favorite- I always keep a notebook n pen handy to write down names, but I get a death stare cuz i startle my cat each time I go "OOO I have that!" I have a Renato in the mail coming to me, I'm so excited! And I'll b starting reindeer games for Beth the steadfast stitchers animal birthday sal! Happy stitching Wendy! 🐈‍⬛🪡❤️

I was rased in Hagerstown md now live in New York State southern part

Hi Wendy, love your videos so much - your new camera is great, your editing is impressive, your revenge patterns and haul are inspiring and your stories and attitude are all of those things together.... great, impressive, inspiring.... and heartfelt. Which is what makes it special. I'm going to take your advent calendar idea and do something similar for next year so thank you for that. I only have 3 wips so I'm going to include some starts as well. Fun planning even if it only lasts till February! Keep stitching and keep filming, Kim ❤

oh goodness, I so get, 'my brain doesn't work that way.' It took years of stitching to realize my brain sees projects right-to-left, bottom-to-top. ☺

I love your idea for WIPGO. Last time I tried to do WIPGO it killed my stitchy bug. My career is very deadline based so I think you are right. I just stick to SWYWWYW now but love to hear about everyone else's games.

Beautiful stitching! You’re so fun! I love the pirate guidelines idea!! Love your yarn crafting too!! 😊

It was lovely stitching along with you. And it’s great to see you back.

Thanks for sharing the donor part. We need more donors

Those Christmas tree patterns areas some of my favorite! I plan on starting one soon :) great stitching and the new camera looks great!

Ok. I loved this!! I need to join pirate WIPGO. you made me chuckle at work. Thank you!!

Oh I love the advent calendar idea!!!! How neat would it be to do one every month.

Thanks for making me smile today :). Great update. I can't wait to watch your Pirate Wipgo haha. Thanks for sharing your husbands story and a reminder of the kindness that exists. I wish him all the best as he starts a brand new career! how exciting!

I, like many, am an organ donor and was very interested in your husband’s story…. Thank you for your upbeat videos !!

Your cowl looks awesome!!! The bobbles weren't so bad, right? Now I want to find some more color work to knit. I also want to finish my MFE Cranky Owl. And maybe start some of the revenge patterns that I already have in my stash. Your ACL story was very touching, I'm glad the surgery went well and I hope your husband's new career path lives up to his dream. Thank you for being a light! ❤🏴‍☠🕯

Oh darling, I love your videos. The story of the new career and the new knee and the gift of life from strangers was inspiring and reassuring. xoxo. The pirate chocolate bingo advent game, even tho I rewatched three times HAHAHAHA is still a mystery. I think you pick out some projects and then not stitch them? Sign me up!

Your knitting finish is fantastic! Yes, revenge patterns for sure, I'd love to stitch almost all of those. I have plenty of wips already. Very fun pirate plan. "guidelines" that movie makes me laugh so much. My favorite line is "I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request, means no"

I very much enjoyed your video!

Your Monster House is looking great. I was not able to get very far before Halloween, but it'll be a fun stitch throughout the next year with all the bright colors. Your Prairie Schooler cabochons and the idea are awesome! I've made some Halloween jewelry so I am definitely interested in stitching them. I get the Cross-stitch Christmas, too. This is my third year, and I like a lot of the designs. I only really liked one in last year's book, so I returned it. Postage was more than I expected but a little less than the price of the book. Thanks for your flosstube recommendations. I will check them out.

Hi Wendy, fabulous flosstube full of fun and floss. Just perfect! Great idea for celebrating a special person - and so lovely seeing and hearing about the wonderful response you got. So special. Thank you for sharing. ❤ I was blown away by your teeny tiny Halloween cabochons, that is some seriously impressive stitching. And I love seeing your knitting. I'm another was-a-knitter that got sucked into the crossstitch world but I too am starting to pick up knitting again. Mainly socks. And more socks. And more..... 😂 Happy stitching, knitting and flosstubing, Kim ❤❤

Love your projects ! You are hilarious

Wendy! I laughed! I cried! I had a strong urge to start another new cross stitch project! I love your Unconventional X Stitch picks. Maggie Vandewalle is my favorite, I just ordered a 2025 wall calendar from her. And I'm so excited that you're knitting the Haunted House cowl! I liked the color work part better than all those textured bits at the beginning, so hopefully you can unclench your jaw and release your death grip for the rest of it. 😆Your cabochons are so cute, I love that idea, and I love all the Prairie Schooler ornament sets, they're so good. The project for your mom was so beautiful and special, I don't know how you got through that whole explanation without crying. I wasn't expecting to feel all the feels! ❤ Hope you're well, can't wait for the next video!

You made me squirt out a tear w/ that scrapbook. What a sweet idea. ❤

Can you tell me the designer of the sun and moon cat? Can’t find it. Thanks!

I LOVE that you're doing the Long Dog Sampler in colors, it looks SO good!! 💖💖💖

you're such a stitch! (cats growing extra legs🤣)

Oh my god I’m cackling! I love your videos! New fear unlocked for sure

Congrats on your finishes and progress on your stitching. What a beautiful idea you shared with us to honour someone special in our lives. Your Mum sounds like such a lovely person and so are you. You bring joy with your videos and always a smile to my face. 🥰

I just love your channel. It's chock full of fun and info and good thoughts and very interesting projects! The Revenge segment is spot on, hahahaha! Stop it! Thanks for continuing to do this. ❤
