And you did it again 3 finishes. So fun to watch. The new closet with baskets looks very handy. Have a great time on the retreat. Happy stitching

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Tina, we had a wonderful time in Alabama. Working on another retreat for next year closer to home for 6 to 8 of us. Dena

[@lindaskinner5887]

Congratulations Dena on all your finishes! Good luck with the technology, you’re a brave soul. Cocoa is such a great help. Lol. Happy stitching Dena. ❤

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Linda, I am not brave, but I am determined. LOL. Happy Stitching from Cocoa and me.

[@marysamelanson4654]

Great video, thanks for sharing your progress, beautiful needlework. You know you are a prolific stitcher when your backup listing gets ✅! Well done Tommy, that cabinet looks solid and a pain to put together 😅

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Marysa, that cabinet is solid because he not only used the wooden pegs, the glued them as he went. It will stand the test of time for sure. Dena

[@pattysmith9266]

Congrats on your latest finishes wow. Cocoa is such a great help. So sweet. Happy stitching Patty

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Cocoa always wants to be right in the middle of everything for sure. LOL. Thanks for the congrats on my finishes. I actually finished October with 8 9 finishes.

[@kaylinfrancis8751]

Great to see you Dena! I'm so glad that you're feeling better. Enjoy your new retreat space! I bet it'll be a lot of fun. Congrats on your finishes and thanks for sharing your WIPs and your plans with us. I haven't been doing any stitching lately because I've been working on a fiber art piece. Hugs to Cocoa and Happy Stitching!

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Kaylin, good luck on your fiber arts piece. How interesting! Thanks for the congrats for the finishes. Cocoa says hello. Dena

[@cherylbond2641]

Dena, so happy to see you and know that you and family are well. Good luck with the technology, enjoy your weekend away! Happy stitching!

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Cheryl, the technology is coming along thanks to my hubby! Back to making videos which is a huge plus. Dena

[@devrakline4967]

Great finishes! Great addition to your craft room. I have from Costco also. It is filled with scrapbooking supplies. Now that cross stitch has taken over, not much scrapbooking. Keep shopping at Costco! Retired from there after 32 years! Your retreat sounds wonderful. Have fun.

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Devra, we love COSTCO. My hubby looks for opportunities to go there. LOL. Dena

[@empm1330]

Hi Dena love seeing your finishes and WIP's. I love the way you organized your craft room and stitching. I am planning to do 25 new starts next year and have been going through my stash to seeing and picking out the ones I would like to start. I have completed two of my 3 months to a finish and have been working on my third one (only backstitching left to do) but I have been working on another of my finishes out of the 3 months to a finish. I will send you pictures when I have at least 3 done. I am not a fast stitcher but I do get excited when I have accomplished a finish. LOL when I saw Cocoa helping your hubby unwrap the box. She really gets involved tearing that paper. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Pat

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Pat, I have had a fabulous month for my 3 months to the finish line. I have finished 9 projects, 7 from that 3 months game and two more I just was able to throw in there. It has been awesome! Looking forward to seeing your three finishes when you have that 3rd one. Dena

[@PeeDeeStitcher]

Dena - I was just talking on my Flosstube this morning about having my WIPGO board be a new start board. You are flying through those finishes!! Happy stitching! - TaMara

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

I will have several new starts on my WIPGO board but not the entire board. I do like that idea though. Dena

[@carlenehall2979]

Hello Dena! I always enjoy seeing your stitching! I know you are liking your new shelving unit. How nice of the lady to donate her stitching supplies! Take care.🎃🪡🍁

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Carlene, I am still in awe of the stitching Agnes had done in the supplies she gifted to our group. Dena

[@iriscope6798]

Love your new shelving unit Dena. Hope your weekend retreat was lots of fun.

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Had a blast at the weekend retreat! I liked my new shelving unit so much, my hubby went back and got me a second one.

[@zook717]

Wow Cocoa is such a great helper! Love hearing about your plans and organizing for 2025! I have definitely started planning for the new year too! ❤❤

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Caroline, can't wait to hear all the plans you will have for 2025. Dena

[@neilstephen6761]

So good to see your progress on your WIPS. You must be delighted with your finishes. A hectic 2025 for you so many projects. I managed to find a dimensions kit I wanted on eBay it’s an old kit Macintosh Mill that will be my new start for 2025. Happy stitching

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Great new start for 2025! I will not make any concrete plans other than these so I can have some fluidity. Dena

[@Stitchingpastmybedtime]

Hi Dena! What a great video! Happy Stitching! - Karen

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Karen, so glad you enjoyed it! Hope you are doing well and having lots of great stitching time. Dena

[@kathyn4267]

Cocoa does a good job. That looks like it took a while to put together. Lori's video came up right after yours. It's going to be a great day.

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

YAY! I will have to go watch Lori's video. Dena

[@stitcharella27]

Always so fun to watch what you are working on and completing. I wrote my list out last year 24-24 out of the 24 I have completed 7 not fully finished but still stitched. I will be carrying that list over to 25 in 25 and adding a few stitch slings I am doing and one or two new starts but I hope to really focus this coming year on my wips

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Sounds like a great plan Natasha. I am going to attempt to finish all my series I have going in 2025. I have 25 items to stitch to accomplish that so those will make up 25 in 25 for me. Good luck to you and congrats on finishing 7 or your 24! You still have two months, you might make it 8! Dena

[@kathycary4798]

You look so cute with your shorter haircut and cool sweatshirt in the second part! Love your videos of course.

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Kathy, thanks so much for the kind words regarding my hair cut. I had lost so much hair while loosing weight that my hair was very thin at the bottom and new hair has been growing in at the top, so I had my stylist cut off the thin, pitiful part. LOL. Dena

[@kathycary4798]

@@halfstitchcrossstitch2456well you look thin and fabulous!

[@DeeAZstitcher]

Nice work, good video, one of our boys loved to be a little helper too, so cute Cocoa!!!

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Debra, so good to hear from you. I sure would love to see what you are working on now! Email me a picture if you can. Dena

[@tinastitches]

Awesome progress! I really need to pick some smaller projects so I can get some more finishes lol. I think I should maybe work on TW English Garden Welcome whenever you work on Nativity since we are both dragging our feet on those 😉

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Tina, I think I will be working on Nativity in the coming week before November starts. Dena

[@donnadorman6673]

Morning, Dena!❤

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Good morning, I hope you are enjoying your stitching.

[@lindacraig5056]

Cocoa sure loves to help. She is such a good girl. Dena you are so organized with your stitching. I hope you get your technical difficulties straightened out. Nothing more frustrating than buy a new table and it not working like it should. Glad you had fun stitching with friends. Happy stitching

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Linda, my sweet hubby took the misbehaving iMac Book and got me a new desk top as an early birthday present. I love it! And him. Dena

[@lindacraig5056]

@@halfstitchcrossstitch2456 Aww that was very sweet of him. He is a keeper.Enjoy it Dena

[@sharonwilliamson2279]

Hi Dena , you have been busy finishing again. Love the organising you have done in your rom. Made me think time to sort my area out as not as good as it could be atm. I am very interested to see your fully finished planning for next year. I find that gives inspiration. Take care x

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Sharon, Yes, the 3 months to the finish line game has really helped me get some small projects (and a couple of medium ones) finished this year. I have one more of those to finish so I will be sprinkling it in each week. For now, I am working towards getting my larger projects worked on this month before I travel. Still finalizing my 2025 plans. Will share soon. Dena

[@elainesutton2063]

I had started to wonder about you since it was around two weeks. Glad everything is fine and it was just technical difficulties. 😉

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Thanks so much Elaine. I was missing everyone. Dena
