Thank you Sharon, I very much enjoy working with my hands :)

I love hearts and Valentine's day! 🩷 This is going to be so pretty and a lot of work! Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@calico_whimsy]

I was laughing at myself when I was editing this video when I said I've done so much, but in reality I have a ton left to do, lol!

[@xstitchinglibrarian]

This kit is so 🥰❤

[@calico_whimsy]

Hearts, hearts and more hearts! ❤️

[@jacquestedcooper]

So cute! That’s going to be really pretty when you’re done.

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you! Gotta get through all those leaves, though,lol!

[@marika.stitches]

Adorable, it will look great when it's done!

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you! Still lots of work to do! 😆

I've not done a felt kit like this before but it seems a nice change of pace from cross-stitching. Thank you for showing how to make the rose; I, too, would've started where you initially started 😉.

[@calico_whimsy]

I think it's a pretty common mistake with the roses. I find these kits to be a great change of pace from stitching. They are much quicker 👍☺️

[@missteaandstitches]

I LOVE this kit... you have amazing taste in all your crafty projects. I had been admiring this one on line but seeing yours in progress... I need to make this one! PS- working on one of my felt frogs while listening to you talk about your hearts and flowers :)

[@calico_whimsy]

Aren't those hearts the cutest??? I'm so happy your little frogs are coming to life!

I would love love, love love if you would someday make a tutorial on how you do these Busola kits. I have followed another KZbinr, who does Priscilla stockings and I have learned a lot from her, but I would love to have another video tutorial on the appliqué stitch, that does most of this work.

[@calico_whimsy]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm really going to try to upload more tutorials. The biggest challenge is setting my camera up so that I can do closeups without going out of frame or out of focus AND being able to see what I'm doing. :)

That wreath is going to be beautiful! I was wondering if you have done any work on the Merry Stockings mantel series? You were talking about them last year, so I bought the first set and they are stunning! Now I’ve ordered this year’s set. Haven’t started them yet but can’t wait. Love your videos!

[@calico_whimsy]

I have not dived into the mantle series yet! I have collected quite a few new kits and I want to start them all! My cross stitching takes up so much of my time that I haven't done as many of the felt kits as I want to. I'm trying to make sure to dedicate more time and hope to start the mantle series around christmas. I noticed they have a Halloween series, too! I'm holding off on it for now, though.

Do you do crewel embroidery kits as well? I just got into the vintage ones and I finished a small one, I have a really big one I’m gonna tackle but I haven’t seen anyone do one on KZbin.

[@calico_whimsy]

I have never done Crewel, but it is so beautiful! I need to tackle it someday and see what I think. Is it hard? I purchased the most beautiful finished crewel piece at the thrift store and later found out it was a Dimensions kit of all these pretty birds. The person that stitched it did an amazing job! I showed it in one of my really old videos, but I think I need to show it again!

[@amandasfunfacery1232]

@@calico_whimsy it was hard to start but once you get going it gets easier. That’s why i started because they are sooo gorgeous 😩♥️ I’ve done a small one to get the hang of it now I’m on a medium one, but I have a huge one that I’m intimidated by😂

[@calico_whimsy]

@@amandasfunfacery1232 I guess like anything, just take it slow, one stitch at a time and try to enjoy the process the end will be beautiful! I'm so tempted one of these days! Have fun :)
