You got to work on quite a few projects along with your work stitching! Yay! And yay for the finish! I enjoyed hearing the tentative plans for 2025...mine are not finalized either. I think watching other's plans helps me figure out mine : ) Happy Stitching friend!

Hi. Loved seeing your projects and hearing about you plans! I thought at first gingerbread boy but the colors are wrong. A white dove or Christmas candle if no other candles are on it might be pretty and the right size.

Hi Sarah! I love hearing your plans. Even a small amount of stitching adds up and you make progress. I look forward to seeing the new project with your daughter- it’s so colorful. Have a wonderful week.

Hi Sarah. Thank you for the update. I'm always happy to see your videos pop up in my subscriber list. I think Tilton Crafts have included your cupcake into a chart with several others. Congratulations on your super cute castle finish!⚘️

Hi Sarah I love your finish on castle homecoming and i like your plans for 2025. I love the patterns of the kitties and the fairy you picked. They are very colorful. I am hoping to finish two of the 3 months to a finish with Dena half cross stitch. I told Dena if I do not succeed to finish I will not be dissappointed and she agreed with me but I am determined to finish them if I can (keeping my fingers crossed). I have been busy picking out 25 new start patterns and i will need go to my LNS to get the material. I also will be doing some smalls for gifts next year. Out of the 25 new starts I have chosen some medium and large patterns and a few small but I want to focus on the larger patterns this time and I love doing it. I always enjoy your stitching progress on your projects and they are looking great. It is always fun to me and to see and look at old and new patterns (some I had forgotten I had them) I love seeing Smokey. Wishing you and your family Happy Thanksgiving and a safe holiday. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Pat

Oh and I just bought Cozy Cabin Kitties . I’ll start along with you Sarah

I'm loving seeing your stitching Sarah 😊 on the Historical Sampler Company project, I'm planning on repeating the two robins in the Santa Claus space, so that might be an option? The deer are repeated, so I don't think it would look odd.

Oh how I wish my daughters or granddaughters wanted to stitch with me. You are so blessed. How old is your daughter?

Congrats on the finish! What about a small wreath or cardinal to sub in for the Santa face? Really enjoyed your progress this week.

Oh I love watching all your beautiful WIPs . I think you could put on bells instead of Santa ❤

Does your daughter stitch in hand too? Oh, and maybe a wreath instead of Santa? The space might work.

I started doing my daily 30 temperature stitching same as you. I love it. Cool that you got 7 different projects. Mine is Celsius, so less likely for that to occur here. But it is fun. Congratulations on your finish. It looks great.

Where did you get the new kitties pattern? I tried to find it to buy? Thanks

Fun to see you joining in the book club SAL. I couldn’t remember when Kim was starting so I’ve started. Congratulations on your castle finish.

What about mistletoe or a pointsettia, or even a manger to replace santa.

Happy Thanksgiving Sarah.

For the historical sampler, what about a little gingerbread man.

Enjoyed seeing you again. The Castle Homecoming is so beautiful. And wow, the new cat pattern that you bought, I love it. I have to have it! So cute, just like your cat. I'm glad it was visiting. I hope you Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Great finish on your Frosted Pumpkin SAL! The Spangler book is gonna be tiny and cute. 😊 Love the idea of a SAL with your daughter- neither of mine are interested in stitching but they like seeing my progress. Happy Thanksgiving! - Kim H

Happy Thanksgiving! Happy Stitching! - Valerie

💖💖💖

😊 congratulations on your finished projects they look beautiful. Your tension on your cross stitch is so perfect. If you don't my asking what do you do with the completed projects?

I think maybe a Christmas star on the Christmas stitch along

Beautiful finish. Love your plans. And its so great to stitch together with your daughter. Maybe switch santa for a wreath or smokey with christmas hat😉? Its was difficult to see if there was already a wreath or a bird. Happy stitching

How about an angel to replace Santa or an elf

Sarah you could put a star on the SAL if it's not on there already. I couldn't see if there was a star, Congratulations on your finish.! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Castle Homecoming looks fantastic! Congratulations on the finish. I am working on setting up my plans for 2025 and love listening to what you are coming up with. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving with your family.

Hi Sarah, i thought that in your christmas sampler instead of santa clause maby a candle on a fir branch could fit? sending hugs

A stitch along, in your house. 😅 wish I could attend as well. I like the suggestion of Smokey with a red scarf instead of Santa. Castle Home Comming is fantastic. It is not something I would have stitched, but I have enjoyed watching your progress. 😊Well done for the fo. I enjoy the extreme cross country idea, just not brave enough. I do like the idea of the Kitties Books as individual bookmarks. Please have a fun filled happt Thanksgiving 😊

Replace Santa with a pretty snowflake ❤

Always great stitching.. the 2 new patterns are great. Happy that you have taught your daughter to stitch. I taught mine too and she is a terrific stitcher.. How about mittens on your Christmas SAL?

Castle Homecoming is so pretty!!! How exciting to have a finish! Maybe candy canes to replace Santa and the Christmas piece?

I think you should replace Santa with a star

Perhaps you could replace Santa with a word like joy or a trumpet.

Criss-crossed candy canes. You might want to watch “Nicolas: The Boy Who Became Santa.” It gave me another perspective on Santa.

How about a gingerbread boy with a red bow in place of Santa? You could use the same brown as in the reindeer and the birds above. That brown would then be in like a diamond pattern around the center.

Yea🎉 a finish. Maybe a gingerbread man or couple depending on size to replace santa. Or if you go religious, maybe a manager??

Well done on your finish. Your stitching is always inspiring and I love your WIPGO plans for 2025.

How about a wreath instead of santa?

I will try to replace the Santa by a Christmas angel. Love your projects

Your historical sampler project is so sweet. I thought a green wreath with a red bow would work to replace Santa. The summer girl on Colors of the seasons is so fun. Looking forward to seeing it again. I like that your 30 min temp plan is giving you a chance to stay on the projects you want to progress on. Hoping you are able to work through your obligations and enjoy all your stitching time again. That new bookmark looks like a real joy to stitch. I know you are thankful for family and friends but for stitching time too. Happy Thanksgiving.

Oh dear…my daughter would like both of those full coverage too. Off to check out cross stitch for everyone. 🧵🪡🦉

Love your finsh! The green fabric is so pretty. It's fun to see your progress on temperature stitching. Happy Thanksgiving. 🦃🦃❤

What about a manger instead of Santa. It has the stars either side so wouldn't look out of place.

Cozy Cabin Kitties is so cute! ❤ How about stitching a little manger with Baby Jesus, instead of Santa? I don't decorate with Santas either, so I have to change things up sometimes, too.

The kitty and me cats in hearts are available on everything cross stitch

Thank you Sarah! Happy Stitching! - Valerie

Dear Sarah, It's great to see that you've finished Castle Homecoming! Yay! I've really enjoyed seeing your progress on this project each video so thank you for sharing it with us. I hope that you and your family have a lovely Thanksgiving and enjoy the day: perhaps your children will be pleased to have the day off school! The weather here in the UK has been horrid this past week - really cold, very windy and there's been some snow. There have also been some places south from where I live where properties have been flooded and train services have been disrupted because lines have been closed due to storm Bert. Over the past week, I worked on 3 projects - 2 cross stitch and 1 embroidery. The cross stitching was on Haunted House (and there's an update photo on Instagram with a cover picture of the model if you would like to see it) and Autumn Leaves and Pumpkins Please that's got a cute little mouse on it that I've christened Pipsqueak as it's small and squeaks! The embroidery project was Ghosts and it's a nice one to do, particularly when I don't need to give it my full attention as it has lots of backstitch. I go to a monthly crafty meet-up and take a WIP to work on so I took the Ghosts so I could talk and stitch at the same time! I've taken other projects in the past but have found it difficult to count, talk and stitch all at once!! I can't watch TV and stitch cos I tend to make mistakes with the cross stitch and end up frogging things which is not fun. Anyway, take care and good luck getting your customer stitching completed so you can get back to personal projects. Have a good week. God bless, Caron 💙 PS could you do a bell to replace the Father Christmas?

Yay! I love being an enabler 😊 I cropped some of the sides off mine so I can get to her faster 🙂 It's so fun watching your Bear time WIP come to life. Congratulations on your finish. I think a little kitten with a scarf would be cute instead of the Santa. Or with a wreath around its neck, like it got into decorations. Hope you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Congratulations on finishing Castle Homecoming! I love your stitching and hearing about your plans as you consider your options. Thanks for the video, Sarah.
