2024 Finish Parade, 2025 Plans, and Mini Notion Tour!

[@jedxstitch]

I appreciate all the love for my patterns! Loved seeing all your finishes!

[@lauren-nerdynurse5893]

I am so excited that your DQ of the E found a loving home. You did such a cool conversion on her face and I'm so excited that it will be finished! Stitchy people are the coolest.

[@hypercolour]

not to be utterly parasocial but i clapped when you pulled out the vanity sampler. it is so exciting to see that finished, especially in your color conversion!

[@MarissaMcConnell]

I yelled congrats in my home office :)

[@camthestitcher]

Ahhh!!! that’s so nice! It’s been a journey for us all 😂

[@teacherlovesbeauty]

Me too! 😂😂😂

[@m78lejeune]

Love your finishes. Great year. Love the deadly aquarium every time you show it. That fabric is the best I’ve seen with that pattern. 😍

[@camthestitcher]

Thanks so much!

[@kaleighrider7130]

The DEEP breath before introducing your final finish 🥹 It’s beautiful and I’ve been pulling for you to meet your goal! She’s on my start list (with your color conversion) for 2025. Can’t wait to watch what you have in store for next year 💜

[@camthestitcher]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad it inspired you. 💜

[@susanlamatrice6938]

Thanks for sharing your projects! I really enjoy your channel because you stitch a fun variety of designers. It is so refreshing!

[@Stitchykiwigirl]

Thanks for sharing your plans. I use Notion too, so it is really interesting to see how others are using it for stitching. My favourite finish for 2024 was Mini Rainbow Dragon by Artecy. It has Mini in the title but was actually 19000 confetti stitches, so was a big achievement.

[@ShastaStitches]

Your Lola Crow’s are such an accomplishment! Beautiful finishes! Really enjoyed your Notion tour! 🤓

[@britches__get__stitches]

I was already diving into Notion Nerd status, but you've taken me that much farther! Saving this video to watch later when I get to setting up my stitchy goal/planner for next year. Thanks for the motivation!

[@emilyrider4003]

Um excuse me those graphics are my life goals! So good! Congrats on all your finishes especially vanity sampler.

[@therunnerstitcher]

so proud of you for vanity sampler! it looks absolutely incredible! You worked so hard on that this year and got it done!! Great job! rollover minutes ha. great plans for next year. Love the focus on current wips!

[@camthestitcher]

You’re right, it feels good to have it done! 💪

[@marcymarley6917]

Love your finishes, especially deadly aquarium and vanity sampler. Deadly aquarium pops on the fabric. Stunning!

[@camthestitcher]

Thank you so much! I was so happy with how it turned out.

[@stitchyprose]

Thanks for keeping me company in the middle of the night while I fed our newborn. Seeing your finishes & listening to your plans helped keep me sane during his cluster feeding. Vanity Sampler is GORGEOUS! 💜 My favorite finish was The Raccoon from Cottage Garden Samplings. I stitched it in quarantine (10 days) while recovering from COVID after Market. I was binging Outlander simultaneous for the first time, so I named mine Fergus. Put the last few stitches in at Stitch Con & Fergus is hanging in the nursery now with 3 others from the Into The Woods Series. Look forward to seeing more videos in 2025. Wishing you a Happy Holiday & New Year. 🎄

[@ThoseMissingStitches]

I love the percentage goals addition to Notion! Thanks for sharing.

[@usewgrl]

Cam, dear girl. The only thing that matters is that you are having fun and enjoying the craft. No judgement, ever.

[@jenk5185]

Thank you so much for the Notion tour! You have inspired me and I am going to use Notion for 2025! Love your projects and your videos! Thank you again!

[@RosieintheRockies]

Watching your video was so satisfying! So many beautiful finished projects. I appreciate how you allow yourself flexibility to actually enjoy your stitching while still trying to make progress. Happy holidays, happy new year, and happy stitching!

[@_caryn_s]

I'm so glad youtube suggested your channel to me! You plan cross stitch projects the way I plan knitting projects. I've gotten back into cross stitch just this past year, and now I have to balance all I want to stitch with all I want to knit. I'm an analog girlie and draw calendars in a physical paper journal to track the days I knit, what I work on, and weekly milestones for different projects. I also keep an excel spreadsheet for projects, but I'll check out notion because it looks cool! I hope you have a productive 2025!

[@camthestitcher]

I used to bullet journal and I definitely miss putting pen to paper, but for more short term planning I love to write on a calendar!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Congrats on all of your amazing finishes - especially the Vanity Sampler!!! 👏👏👏

[@camthestitcher]

Thanks so much! I can’t believe it’s done 😅

[@julielong6004]

Bravo on the Vanity Sampler finish. You showed us all if we just applied ourselves we can finish big things. Loved the Notion tour and how you adjusted your monthly stitches down in the summer.

[@erinsmakes2933]

Congrats on your Vanity Sampler, that project was huge for me to but so gorgeous! Your plans are so well organized and I loved the presentation of everything. I never get tired of seeing your Aquarium SAL. My favorite completion stitch this year was definitely Salem Village by Notforgotten Farm, I just sit and stare at it lol

[@StitchnMaiden]

I love how you set up notions! Having a visual aid to see what projects I have will be helpful. I feel overwhelmed sometimes trying to decide what I want to work on. I have downloaded notions app! Hopefully I can get myself organized this year!😊

[@sarahsheere7204]

Loved seeing your finishes and your plans for 2025! I aspire to being that organized :)

[@jensfiberweb]

Those two big finishes you saved for the end must've felt amazing! Congrats! They both look beautiful. My favorite finish this year was The Unicorn's Garden by Sprouting Lupine. ❤Happy New Year!

[@KineStarkiller]

Congrats on your Vanity sampler finish! It looks amazing. This year, I've stitched and finished all three of the Lola Crow SALs. By the end of The deadly aquarium I was pretty much sick of all of them, but I do really love the finishes. And now I have three big pieces ready to frame. Looking forward to following your progress in 2025!

[@annryan8274]

Congratulations on your two big finishes. The vanity sampler is beautiful, and your colour conversion is lovely. That's a big project, and it's clear that your team stitching with Brijin is motivating for you. The Lola Crow SALs are just your jam - I can't wait to see what she comes out with next year. I've just finished (yesterday) Good Intentions - which I see is in your plans for next year. I did a small colour conversion - mostly intensifying the colours, since I had a different linen colour - but also changing her hair to match mine. I also replaced the dog with a cat 😊 And have just started Vibrant Flowers, today. Using the Vicky Clayton silk conversion - which I'm absolutely loving

[@KathysQuiltsandStitching]

Oh how I love your round robin project! Joy to the world IS so beautiful! But wow the Deadly Aquarium finish is unbelievable! Really enjoyed seeing your goals - so many lovely projects to enjoy!

[@twelvebooksaday8640]

Vanity sampler is absolutely stunning! And I had been thinking about stitching the 12 days of Christmas samplers but every time I see your trees I love them!

[@staceycooper1634]

You did so much wonderful stitching this year! Thank you for sharing your Notion. I just started using Notion this year to organize my projects. My favorite personal finish this year was Funky Menagerie by Lindy Stitches.

[@SnowconeStitchery]

I love all of your updates to Notion. I’ve made a few tweaks, but you’ve inspired me to see how else I can adjust Stitchy Nati’s template to suit my needs. Lola Crow’s SALs are so amazing they should be a bonus start for everyone!

[@raggedygene1770]

Oh Cam - your vanity sampler is awesome. Thank you for sharing your amazing finishes. Happy Stitching!!!

[@kima9181]

Congrats on finishing the vanity sampler ... I will miss seeing it ;) So pretty. You've sold me on notion!!!

[@charlenewalberg]

Great finishes! I love how you have set up your notion! I'm working on getting mine all set up!

[@connieenevold1745]

Loved seeing your Notions set up. Very impressive! Impressive goals too! Happy new year🎉

[@homemadeontheridge]

Just discovered your channel and subscribed! Loved seeing all your finishes--WOW! So fantastic! Look forward to seeing your progress in 2025!

[@camthestitcher]

Thank you so much! Glad you found my channel! 🥰

[@juliedodd8630]

Loved the expression low start year! It can mean anything😊 Congrats on 24 finishes. Some of them were what I consider big projects. Happy stitching and be sure to reward yourself for meeting goals!

[@Sa.Rita91]

I love the way you organized your goals for the year 😮 I am slowly dabbling with Notion; it seems daunting with all it can do 😅 My favorite finish this year was actually Dark Queen of the Earth 😅 I love getting a big piece done and checked off.

[@debwinslow5888]

Great job! you got a lot done this year. I only got a few smalls stitched this year and worked on some bigger projects.

[@SALex_stitches]

Wow Cam, what an amazing video! 🤩 First so many gorgeous finishes and then the planning!! Makes me want to grab my Notion and get on it 😬 Really well done, thank you! 😍 Wishing you a wonderful Christmas time 🎄🎄🎄 Also, congrats on your Vanity Sampler - it’s just amazing and such an accomplishment! 😍

[@dylanjohnson3346]

What a great earlly birthday gift

[@camthestitcher]

Happy Birthday!! 🎈🎉

[@Jennifer_lynn_1313]

Congratulations on your Vanity Sampler FINISH!! Greatest feeling, so happy for you! It is absolutely beautiful. I too have a focus on low starts and low purchases in 2025. I think I have about 33 active WIPs and most of them are closer to their start than their finish … goals to make some sizable progress on current WIPs! Exciting. Congrats again and thank you for sharing your creativity with us all!!

[@karenjohnson2831]

My only exception I have listed for my 2025 Stitch from Stash is the Lola Crow SAL. Of course, I have a goal to finish Acquarium before she releases the next one. 🙂 Loved your plans slides. Thanks for sharing!

[@rosetree626]

I admire your stitching energy! I wish I had some of that, lol. My one and only finish in 2024 was from the Jingle Ball, from the Satsuma Street class. I finished, and actually used, one of the Cameos, as a gift card holder! 🎉🎄🎇

[@camthestitcher]

Yes! That class was such a cute finish and idea ☺️

[@annieann99]

Wow, I love the digital set up you have for inventory. Unfortunately I’m not that techy. But maybe I will do a paper version. Lovely finishes

[@EsmeraldaL]

Those inventory cards in notion look awesome

[@jaimerow5075]

Awesome video! I’m so not a planner, but I love to see others so organized. That Notion walk through is one of my fav end of year segments. Major kudos on your Vanity Sampler finish!! 🎉😊

[@jenniferbarrett2169]

Loved this video. Wips and plans. Super organized! I finished Festive Forest. Took some dedication but did it.

[@camthestitcher]

Ahh!! I need to finish that next year, it’s stunning

[@angelchadwell6656]

Congrats on all the finishes, especially the Vanity Sampler!! I like the 2025 plans section and I’m excited to see how it works for you. Take care!

[@ThicThreads]

Such an amazing video and well laid out plan structure. So inspiring! Out of everything I think was most excited seeing clown license in your possible starts as it’s on my list. Maybe a good April Fools day start for me. 🎉🎉

[@StitchingWithTheBirds]

I love how your notion is set up! I have stitchynati’s template, and I even watched some notion classes on Skillshare, and I still struggle trying to make it work for me!! Yours is exactly how I’d love mine to look and operate!! Computer stuff is just not in my wheelhouse :/

[@camthestitcher]

I'm so glad you like it! It took me a while to figure it out 😂

[@joanneisgro6092]

Be proud of your accomplishes! You have done fantastic in 2024!

[@stitchinginthemuseum]

Great video! Loved seeing all your finishes for the year. Good luck with all your 2025 plans. Have a great weekend ❄️

[@jamiecherry4549]

Great video! I love your Deadly Aquarium finish! My favorite finish I completed this year is Inspired by Nature by Quaint Rose Needlearts. See you in 2025!

[@Threadgremlins]

Well done 👏 👏 👏

[@amotleyartwkatherine]

Congratulations on your finishes! They are all so pretty. I finished Greta Goldbroom this year which is probably my favorite finish of the year so far. I am really trying to get the MFE 2024 sal finished before end of the year. At 93.67% 😮! So far I have 10 finishes for the year, but one was a full coverage and then Greta, so there has been some large finishes this year. Love how you set your goals for next year. I am going to try for a low buy next year. Even though I have yet to finish a Lola Crow, I will buy her sal if she has one. Part of my goals it to finish either the conservatory or aquamarine buy her. I have both started.

[@BethAllan]

I love your notion changes! You've inspired me to get back into finishing all my changes for my database! You mentioned that Stitchy Nati shared how to get those project cards and formulas added - do you happen to remember where she shared that? I purchased her template a few months ago, but can't seem to find where she shared the instructions for the project cards. I also love love love those custom percentage formulas. Next up - you can get those 10%, 25%, etc to update automatically once they hit the right stitch count. But the dopamine hit of changing it to 25, etc is probably also a good one. :D Thanks for sharing. Your finishes are amazing and you've inspired me big time to get back to my notion stuff.

[@camthestitcher]

She emailed the project card updates a few weeks ago!

[@amandaallen8945]

I want to do the vanity sampler after seeing yours. It’s beautiful. How did you decide to break it down? Just stitch count? Your finishes are amazing and also I agree. I find planning as enjoyable as the rest. Anticipating finishes / starts, what you can accomplish is super fun.

[@camthestitcher]

I broke it down by stitch count! But I did make sure to finish my border in the middle of the year so I wasn’t left with border stitching 😅

[@melissaj8384]

I love a finish parade as much as a WIP parade -- THanK YoU

[@StitchinwLoo]

Absolutely LOVE all your finishes!!! If anyone gives u any grief for starting anything, ufoing anything or saying whatever with anything you do, i say fug 'em 😉!! Every once in a while my husband will come in while im stitching and will look at what im doing and for example say "werent u working on a snowman the other day?" (And ill be working on something completely new) and ill just say idk what ur talking about mindya biznass lololol. I havent finished my aquarium; i plan on working on it thruout the year but best believe ill be starting her next big sal if she chooses to do one! And i do need to put some work in my current wips but 2025 will be a year of more starts for me cuz theres SO much i wanna do...and getting these sneak peaks on market releases?!?!? Yea, im done. Take my money 😂 Wow your vanity sampler...what a fantastic accomplishment!!! Always love ur videos glad i found ya!! Happy stitching and 🥂 to rockin 2025! 🐈‍⬛🪡❤️

[@OneCatCrafting]

Moroccan Lanterns was my favourite SAF of 2024 🎉

[@MarissaMcConnell]

Super duper Congratulations on your Vanity Sampler! My favorite finish this year was lady man and now I want to find all the crazy surreal samplers like that one and the Birdmen Cometh. If you can think of any others, let me know!!! I loved watching the Notion part of your video and Frizzie Lizzie's too and I am SO envious. I need to sit down and play with it and try and learn it more. I did buy the Stitchery template this last year and have been using it. And I most often use it on my phone just to track daily stitches and stuff. I love the project cards you showed. Do you have the paid version with all those pics? Or did you just size them down enough to be able to use them with the free version?

[@camthestitcher]

I sized the pictures down! I usually just screenshot on my phone and crop the photo to make it work 🥰

[@MarissaMcConnell]

I appreciate the clown warning 😅 As always, your cross stitches look amazing!

[@loiscassels8966]

Why are people afraid of clowns?

[@hope84114]

@@loiscassels8966 Hello! People have different reasons why clowns might not be their favorite cup of tea. Personally, I find clown makeup a bit unsettling to look at which causes me to feel anxious. While others (like Cam) find clowns cute and fun to look at. Hope this answer helps!

[@loiscassels8966]

@@hope84114 Thanks for your input. I don’t get it, but then, I’m terrified of snakes. ❤️🇨🇦

[@Jennafir]

People need to mind their own about how many projects other people have. It’s not their time, not their money, and none of their damn business. That being said, I still think about your Frimp finish from last year. Sometimes I’ll sit on my couch thinking about it and my partner will just look at me and be like “thinking about the Frimp again?” It haunts me. I’d stitch it myself but I’m pretty sure it would turn into a horcrux and I’d be stuck with it for eternity.

[@camthestitcher]

😂😂😂😂😂😅 I apologize for the nightmares but that is hilarious

[@CourtneyCantSleep-s3i]

I saw a pattern that I *think* you showed. It was a bunch of tiny motifs, like a tiny thing to stitch in 20 minutes everyday. Was that you? Do you know what it is?

[@camthestitcher]

I’m not sure? I recently talked about Peppermint Candy by Lindy Stitches that has tiny motifs 😅
