I was unlucky with the kit I got from Temu. It did not have a finished picture or stitch guide. It was just threads and the painted canvas. I had to screenshot the picture on my receipt to print a picture of the finished piece. I scanned the canvas to make a paper/pdf guide of the chart. The blues and greens are really close in color so I need to refer to the pdf a lot.

Ooh baby toddler would have LOVED to help organize all that floss😂. After I had an issue with the floss in a kit, I decided to make sure I had a master set to work from. So I completely understand about having floss everywhere. But it is so nice to have and to use now that it is finished. Your landscape is so lovely. Oh my goodness that is frustrating about the symbols!!! I’m so sorry. I too have spring kits that I must stitch due to money being spent. But now I’m so nervous. 😢 Hey if the parades are too much, just postpone until a better time for you. I’m sure we all can understand what a big undertaking it will be for you. Especially this time of year. I’m already just so impressed that you guys record and edit and upload on a regular basis. Anyhoo happy stitching!!😊

@@LexieMichelle yeah 😆baby would make such a good sequel for 'Tangled' 😄. About the parades, it would be kind of some speedruns, so nothing fancy. Just front page, size and maybe if I don't forget to mention the numbers of colors. I will be more relaxed after the landscape is done so I think organizing my threads would be easier

Can you share this video with someone at Spring Brand so they can see the difficulties you are facing? You may just have to use your best judgement in the colors used. If you can’t find that blue dot anywhere, my guess is that they used the wrong symbol on the fabric. Maybe once you are done with everything else you will find a symbol that doesn’t correspond with anything.what you have done so far is beautiful. Don’t give up!

Absolutely no judgment over here. Your kits are lovely. Especially the Joy Autum one. Your intro made me laugh out loud. I was not prepared for the funny. Baby toddler stealing the show again lol. Yes I need to super concentrate when I do counted and right now I’m unable to have that kind of focus. I started a big mama jama kit today. You have inspired me with your landscape although I don’t think mine is as big as yours. Nor do I think that I can progress the way you have lol. I just love that you are not a reviewer. That is why I had to stop watching a lot of the content from other channels. I just don’t want to be influenced to buy another pretty kit. I don’t mind seeing them. But just don’t try to get me to buy. Anyhoo take care. Thanks for the great video 😊

Now I use 2.50 magnifying glasses over prescription reading glasses to see to stitch and discovered stamped xs a few months ago this year. Currently have three wips.
