Christine, I am so so sorry for your loss. The cardinal pattern will be such a lovely tribute. Thinking of your family at this time and sending strength ❤️❤️ Those lighthouse patterns are so adorable! I love lighthouses as well! Thank you for the magazine flip through. My favorite was the Sweater Weather pattern! I lost my ginger cat last year and so I've been drawn to all ginger cat patterns. I wrote it down so I can remember to search for it. Thanks again for sharing! Happy stitching!

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you for the kind words :) I'm so sorry for the loss of your kitty last year. I think stitching that adorable Sweater Weather pattern would be very therapeutic for you

[@kimmduncan]

Hi Christine, I am sorry to hear of the loss of your stepdad. My heart goes out to you and your family. I think that the cardinal pattern is a beautiful memorial piece and it already looks beautiful. I adore the little camper and cannot wait to see it in your finished piece. The two Santa ornaments are adorable and how sweet that they are such great matches to your two sons. Blessings!

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you, Kim! It is always so nice to see your comment pop up. I hope you are enjoying some stitching!

[@pameladutton5920]

So sorry to hear of your step-fathers passing. Loss is always difficult to deal with but thought doing a cross stitch project with special meaning would be very comforting. Really enjoy seeing your projects!

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you! Stitching a remembrance piece can be a comforting way to deal with loss. This Cardinal will always remind me of Greg

[@lorrilaque7311]

Loved looking through the magazine. 😊

[@erinsmith8561]

So sorry for the loss of your stepfather. Stitching the cardinal as a memorial is a lovely idea. I now have a new unicorn chart because that farm hamlet is stunning!

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you 💞 Yes Farm Hamlet is sooooo pretty! I hope you find it someday. I keep hoping Dimensions will re-release it like they did Scenic Farm 🤞

[@inglesideimaginarium]

Hey friend. So sorry for your loss. I think stitching the cardinal in memory of your step-dad is a great idea. Lots of time to spend reflecting on his life and your relationship and someday when it is finished, you'll be able to think of him whenever you look at it. Thinking of you.

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you, it means a lot ❤️❤️

[@IvyHouseCrafter]

So sorry about your step-father. The cardinal piece is beautiful, what a lovely tribute and remembrance of someone so important to you.

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you! I appreciate it! ❤️❤️

[@missteaandstitches]

Your cardinal will be a beautiful memorial piece ❤️ looking forward to seeing your Santa progress!!!

[@calico_whimsy]

Thanks Morgan! 💕

[@wendysstitching4849]

So sorry for loss. Thank you for making a new video. I always enjoy so much! Love that mill hill camper. So cute!!

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you Wendy! It's always so nice to hear from you

[@shadowshadow-it4qj]

Christine, sorry about your step-dad. The cardinal piece you started in memory of him is beautiful. Congrats on finishing the camper. Neat idea to attach it to the frame when you complete the aura borealis one. Yes, to a kit parade! That would be fun to watch. Amanda from Lucky Chance Stitcher did a Dimensions (and others) kit parade a few months ago in case you want to compare. Happy birthday to your son! 🍰 And, finally, happy 100th episode to you! 🥳🎈🎉

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you!! Oh, believe me, I think I have watched EVERY dimensions kit parade on KZbin ( many times 🤭) i like to play them when I can't sleep and it does the trick every time 😴 and then I dream about Dimensions kits 🤣) Yes, I finally reached the big 100 and it's my flosstubaversary month in Sept 🎉 8 years I think 😲

[@lindakeith643]

Hi, Christine. I’m getting caught up on my FlossTubes and wanted to reach out regarding some of your most recent noteworthy life happenings. Big congratulations on finishing your eagle piece! It’s just gorgeous. And condolences to you and your family for the passing of your stepdad. Your ice cardinal is a lovely and loving memorial for him. Stitching always helps get us through difficult times, too, I find. May you also find solace in needle and thread. Be well.

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you so much, Linda for your kind words 😊💕

[@shescraftin2126]

I’m sorry to hear about your step father. I pray for your family to have peace. The cardinal is a lovely therapy. Your right that riolis hanger kit is beautiful. I look forward to seeing your felted ornaments. I couldn’t agree more, there are not enough crafting hours in the day. There’s plenty of work ones though. Lol🤣

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you for the kind words :) Isn't that Riolis kit gorgeous!?! Ok, I managed to get the next felt ornament kit uploaded and a good start editing the next one so stay tuned :)

[@xstitchinglibrarian]

Happy flosstube #100

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you! 🎉

[@Mykitchenchanne1]

I loved watching the flip through catalog. I’m going to look for more of these! ❤️ thank you!

[@calico_whimsy]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Flip throughs are so relaxing 🥱

[@SherrysStitchingNook]

So sorry for the loss of your step-dad. All your stitching is beautiful. But that cardinal piece will be very special. I would love to see an updated Dimensions kit video. And that Eagle project you finished is amazing!

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you so much! I will aim for getting an updated dimensions stash up in January. A good time for a kit parade :) BTW, I may have forgotten to leave a comment on you latest video, but I had to chuckle when you mentioned your vlogging fail, lol! It takes some practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's so much easier! Happy stitching!

[@SherrysStitchingNook]

@@calico_whimsy yes, January is the perfect time for a kit parade. I want to do the VLOGGING so badly. LOL! I have tried it twice now and something has happened each time that I couldn't VLOG as needed. Eventually I will get it together.

[@e.keesey]

I'm always happy to see your vlogs. I'm sorry for your loss. Waving 👋 from the East side of town.

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you! Waving back at you from the West! :)

[@loriholmes8705]

Hi Christine. So sorry for your loss. Stitching a cardinal is a lovely way to reflect and remember the good times with your step-father. The camper is darling! It will be a nice companion to the Aurora borealis design. Im looking forward to seeing the completed butterfly and Halloween felt ornaments. Please share newest additions to your kit collection. Did you finish the pumpkin and gourd design? I’ll have to go back through your videos and see when you last shared progress on that one. Happy crafting!

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you Lori! Sadly I have not touched the gorgeous pumpkin/gourd design since last year and that make me very sad! I have big plans to choose a focus wip each month next year and that will be one of the ones I finish. It's soooo close!

[@pattysmith9266]

So sorry for your loss... I know about loss lost my husband a month ago. Thoughts and prayers are with you. Love the Aurora mill hill added it to my list. Happy stitching Patty

[@calico_whimsy]

Oh no Patty,, I'm so sorry for your loss. 💔

[@kimberlymiller3370]

I’m so sorry for your loss. Still watching the video but just wanted to get this in there.

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you so much!

[@BuckeyeCrossStitcher]

Sorry for the loss of your step-father. The cardinal will be a great tribute!

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you, Ellen💕💕

[@jacquestedcooper]

The cardinal piece is beautiful! It looks so realistic. We have lots of juvenile cardinals coming to our feeders right now. Just wanted to say I was sorry to hear about the loss in your family. Cross stitch can be very therapeutic at these times. I would love to see the Dimension kits you’ve added to your stash. Happy September stitching!

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words :) How amazing it would be to see all those Cardinals! I keep hoping they will start to migrate into Colorado!!

[@mkimduong]

Please do an updated Dimensions kit collection. I have watched your old one and I enjoy it quite a bit. I do agree that the newer Dimensions kits are not my cup of tea. Well, it is good for my wallet...hehe

[@calico_whimsy]

That is a good point! Now all my money goes to Mill Hill kits 🤣 I'll get a new Dimensions video up maybe at the first of the year in case I acquire more this year 😁

[@marika.stitches]

So sorry for your loss! Love your projects as always :)

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you! That means a lot :)

[@kerryemmiebet]

Hi Christine. It’s wonderful to see another video from you. I am so sorry for your loss. You found a lovely way to honour is memory with that beautiful cardinal stitch. I have to let you know that you are responsible for my new start! After watching you talking about the Dimensions Gold Petite lighthouses I decided to start my full size Dimensions Gold lighthouse “Guardian of the Sea”. I have had it in my stash for about 20 years. You can tell it is an old one because I had to sort the floss myself! I put the first few stitches into it last night and I have been working on it this morning. I am loving it. I am stitching it for my Dad because he loves lighthouses. I hope you are well and are enjoying your stitching. Best wishes. Kerry. 💜

[@calico_whimsy]

Oh my goodness, Kerry! I LOVE that kit! I'm so excited you decided to dive into it and I'm sure your dad will LOVE it when it's done! I do hope you will share your progress in a video soon ;) I hope you are doing well and happy stitching

[@kerryemmiebet]

@@calico_whimsy Thank you. I have made a good start on it. I really need to make a video soon. I have been slacking on the video-making front this year!

[@calico_whimsy]

@@kerryemmiebet It can be a lot of work to make videos, so no pressure 💕 a pic on IG might be easier 😊👍

[@kerryemmiebet]

@@calico_whimsy I put a pic of my start on IG yesterday. Because of my chronic fatigue I find the whole process of making a video so exhausting. Seriously considering a Vlog style like you do though.

Sorry for your loss! 🦋🌻

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you, I appreciate your thoughtfulness!

[@rebeccachapman1231]

What a wonderful way of coping and remembering with a cardinal. Cardinals seem to make things better wherever they are. I had wondered about when the next felt video would be and if you were still doing them and glad to find out that there is not only one but two on the way! I went back and made a comment on your last felt video that you inspired me and that I ordered a couple of Bucilla kits, one for the new Winter Wonderland Santa stocking and the other for its corresponding set of ornaments. I suppose I'll be participating in "September Santa" by default as I've already made a project box for the ornaments and should be starting them real soon! Oh and I would like to see a Dimensions kit special if you decide to do one. :)

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you! I'm so happy you have jumped on the Felt bandwagon! They are so fun :) It sounds like you will be keeping busy with the stocking AND ornaments ! Also, I'm thrilled you are joining in on the Santa Sal, too :). Maybe I will do my Dimensions Kit parade in Jan, since I have a few more I might acquire before then :) Happy Stitching!

[@mydailyhaeds6326]

Sorry for your loss. xx

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you! 💕

[@in_re_cross_stitching]

I so enjoy your videos. After your Bucilla bird kit one, I was intrigued. I got the same kit for myself and started it - working on the first cardinal right now. I completely understand being diverted! I was working on a mirabilia mermaid for my daughter (which I love to do) but then something compelled me to start the Bucilla kit. I so enjoy doing it and that's thanks to you. My next one will be the reindeer one - don't know if you saw that one. I am a little intimidated by all those skinny reindeer legs but they are so cute - I'm going to make them as well. Have a wonderful day.

[@calico_whimsy]

Oh!!! Thank you! Those Bucilla kits can really draw you in! Yes, I have seen that adorable Reindeer kit and I had the same thought about those skinny legs, lol! It seems they recommend stuffing the legs with pipe cleaners. There is a spider in the vintage Halloween kit that has some legs like that and if all goes well, I may attempt the reindeer at some point! Happy Crafting!

[@calico_whimsy]

BTW, if you are on IG, I would love to see your felt creations! Just add the tag #flosstubeFAL :)

[@annetteduggan7]

Condolence on the loss of your step dad. Are you going to stitch more on the piece with the horses can't remember what it is called but it had a mare and foal I loved seeing your progress on it.

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you Anette! I will definitely get back to Mare an Foal! I have it close by and see it all the time. I just have so many plans and it's hard to fit them all in!

[@aggiestitcher9335]

You said this was part two of your August vlog, but I can’t find part 1. I really wanted to see the eagle finish! Love the cardinal piece and I’m so sorry for your lose.

Love that cardinal kit,it’s beautiful! Are you not going to discuss your bird cards again? Looking forward to seeing how the caravan kit looks on the aurora borealis kit ❤️ sorry for your loss also, I hope your mum is ok .

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you Sharon! Oh goodness.....I forgot all about the bird cards this month, I'm so sorry! I will try to add them to the end of September's vlog for sure! I find I need to get it recorded early in the month rather than waiting until the last minute, lol!

[@sharonmarie66]

@@calico_whimsy just a little observation 😊 no pressure, if you're anything like me they are in a drawer somewhere forgotten 😉

[@calico_whimsy]

LOL, nope, they are actually sitting on my kitchen table in plain site....but you know how you just get used to seeing something so often that it becomes invisible, lol!!

[@jamiemcdaniel8155]

Great job on your video and projects. So sorry for your loss of a family member. Please don't feel like you need to reply to my comments a heart is great 👍👍👍😉😉 and I would love to see your newest dimensions kits 👍🤞

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you for your thoughtful comment :) I actually really love to respond to comments with a cup of coffee by my side. I love to chat with anybody anytime about stitching, lol! I'm aiming to get an updated Kit parade up in Jan in case I acquire m0re before the end of the year, lol!
