I am 75 and have never been a last minute shopper. Our family stopped exchanging gifts several years ago. The kids are all grown up and everyone agreed, gift giving had become more of a chore than a pleasure. So now we just get together and share a meal. Some years we put together a Christmas puzzle, decorate Christmas cookies or decorate gingerbread houses. Golden

[@kindredstitcher]

Sounds wonderful!

[@mmassanyi]

Merry Christmas. It’s a golden time of year when friends and family gather. Happy 2024. My shopping is done. Amazon is great.

[@janiceboyd7596]

Golden,holly,Christmas,wool. Gather, 2024 Amazon is blessing

[@amandabauer1814]

Golden Christmas wool gather 2024, Amazon all the way!

[@donnagrimes6747]

When my daughters were small, my shopping was always done by Thanksgiving. Now I procrastinate and find myself doing a lot of on-line purchases. Love the golden pattern.

[@KarenOHeck]

Golden Holly Christmas Wool Gather 2024 thank you!

[@thephysicalstitcher]

Thanks Lisa for another great flosstube and congratulations on our finishes. We don’t do much shopping - our family is pretty fortunate and we have plenty. So we opt for experiences instead. Mexico here we come! Golden and 2024

[@deechrisman2219]

Thanks for sharing the pictures of the mansion and elk! The mansion was awesome! Golden Wool Our family just gets together and eats, no more shopping! And I sure don't miss it!

[@leslieheird7250]

Golden, gather. I'm almost done shopping. Every year I say I'm going to start earlier, but I never do. This month is flying by. 😳

[@deborahschroder453]

I no longer buy gifts, so no problem. I do send my son and his wife gift cards. Love the golden.

[@aliceschultz3182]

It is always a pleasure to watch your flosstubes!! Golden

[@peterbrown2305]

Lisa, you are an amazing stitcher. Those stockings are gorgeous! I remember several of the patterns from a magazine I subscribed to in the 80s or 90s. I loved that magazine! It was such a joy to receive one in the mail. Golden memories! I’ve never done any wool appliqué……it always looks interesting to me. But crossstitch is my thing now. I shop with Amazon nowadays. Family members fill out their wish lists and I shop from those so folks get things they really want. I am almost done ordering. Several of the gifts come here and I’ll wrap them and take them to our older son’s house where we have spent the last few Christmases. I put out Christmas things here that I love. This year I had to undecorate the little table tree because our lovely cat Elizabeth was undecorating it each night at the expense of my mother’s old ornaments!!!! Now it just has the lights and she leaves it alone! I love each and every one of your flosstubes! Merry Christmas!!!!

[@kindredstitcher]

Merry Christmas to you too!

[@Tensytheneedlesmith]

We celebrate Hannukah which started last week and my kids prefer doing an online gift exchange, so easy. The grandchild gets real gifts to open! Golden.

[@kindredstitcher]

Fun!

[@nannettmcdougal-dykes9339]

I'm done with all my Christmas shopping...wrapping them all this weekend...I will gather everything for this ....The holy for the packages and the golden wool for the berries...I will put Christmas music on and sing, dance and have a get time...I know 2024 is around the corner...please take care and be safe

[@kristamoyer2975]

For holiday shopping I add things to my Amazon cart over the weekend following Thanksgiving and on Cyber Monday I check out. It's all done but now I have a mountain of boxes in my front room that I need to open and get wrapped so the family can gather in there. When that is finished we'll be golden and ready for the big day!

[@karentatum5854]

Usually I’m finished shopping by this time. Yes, Amazon shopping. However, this year I am behind. 2024 will be a better year.

[@michellelittle7898]

Golden. Gather. I will be trying to find the presents for my granddaughters that I’ve “hidden” during the shopping season-to finally get them wrapped. Hopefully I’ll remember where they all are!😮

[@brigittegebhardt1213]

I used to be a very early Christmas shopper, but as I get older I‘m getting a bit lazy and use Amazon more often🤔 Golden, wool, gather 2024

[@JaneandMolly5166]

Golden! Wool! Gather! One more gift to buy and we'll be done with our Christmas shopping! Another great video...lots of inspiration. Thank you!

[@lauraleehawes5266]

I am disabled so I can not buy gifts.....I hate it. That Museum is so beautiful thank you for sharing. I love everything from Gigi The Artsy Housewife does, The golden pattern is so cute I have not tried Roxy floss. Have a blessed day.

[@wendyfulbright3156]

This flosstube was just golden!! Thanks for always inspiring me to keep on stitching. I use to strive to be fine all my Christmas shopping by Dec 1 but now that my kids are grown & married I find it impossible to get finished early because it is harder to buy for them.

[@wandabarth-lindblom3661]

Great floss tube... golden wool stitching is the best!

[@spuffed]

I love amazon and the thought of last minute shopping gives me heart palpitations. thanks for the content. golden

[@paulettecurt-costa8902]

The golden years are sometimes as busy as our younger days! Beautiful pieces as always. Your stockings are beautiful. I’d have a hard time giving them away as well. When I as younger and my children were growing up, my shopping was done by October. Now this year it’s all money. lol easy

[@avonbingham9226]

Good to see you on your blog. I Love wool and flax in more than one way. We don’t give gifts in the traditional way we put money in an educational account for our grandkids.

[@maryhanna5578]

Love golden pattern.

[@emilywittenberg6802]

Beautiful stockings! Golden please Emily

[@idabrandon5054]

I had to have my shopping done early as we are celebrating on the 16th this year. Several years ago I had a broken leg so all my shopping was done on the internet and I have been using the internet more. I love wool quilts and have to gather my wool to make a new one. I think your stitching is awesome.

[@kmcneeley6717]

I am a rather last minute shopper, and more recently online than stores. My sons are older now and really don’t mind cash, which is easy for me 😂 I tend to panic that I have not gotten enough for everyone and buy more at the end lol. Praying rich blessings for a golden 2024 for you and your stitching and crafting projects next year!

[@palefireinca]

2024. I must thank you so much for showing the FGeneral embroidery panel. I am always on a great hunt for such things for my best stitching buddy. The Golden pattern looks interesting. Thanks again.

[@kindredstitcher]

What a fun gift for a friend!

[@cynthamaynard6113]

I am a last minute christmas shopper. Hard time finding the perfect gift. Always looking for the perfect golden egg type of present.

[@lwmillsap]

I finished all my “away from home” shopping, but have done NONE of my in-house shopping. 🤣😂🤣

[@alyssarietveld]

Just two more gifts to purchase and then I’ll be golden for the season!😉 I do try to get shopping done as early as possible, and I wrap them the day they enter the house. Thank you! Love the golden delicious chart!

[@ginastrickland1034]

Being I am in my golden years now. I think for our 2024 Christmas this year, that we will all gather at my house to celebrate. I am working on finishing up on some stitching for Christmas presents and am not done with the shopping yet. Christmas has snuck up on us this year.

[@tinawhittingslow7597]

Your stockings are absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@TheStitchingOwl]

My final Amazon order will go in tomorrow. I used to be started in June and done shopping for Christmas some time in October but the kids are young adults now with tiny apartments so I can’t give them what they don’t need and they aren’t giving me their list very early. Those stockings…I made several and gave them away. So much work in each one! Blessings to you for Christmas and 2024.

[@jmczona]

Christmas is a Golden season. I enjoy shopping online from Amazon. Such convenience! Beats all those minor trips to the store by a long ways!

[@diannemyers8727]

Can't wait for your wip parade I know it will be great we hope to have a golden 2024 for all

[@brooksellers3732]

Just celebrated my 84 Birthday, so shopping is no longer fun, very tiring. I generally have enjoyed making my gifts for family, friends, neighbors in the past and still do so. Some family receive Money. Many know what they would like to buy. This time of year is Golden in color and I love wool, Gather and 2024. Enjoy the season .

[@hollyarnold2910]

As a long time knitter named Holly anything with wool is Golden! Thanks for the wonderful video.

[@debimiller7572]

we give our kids money so I will say I am done. It is a golden time of year. thank you

[@tanyar9795]

I only needed to buy 1 simple gift (total) for my family this year, its nice to reduce the gifting pressure. Friends get calendars that i put together so also easy. Golden pears are so delicious.

[@alisonjohnson7197]

I am looking forward to Christmas 2024....All shopping is done, gift cards and $$ money rule the roost in my household. Your finish of redware is stunning.

[@Babsy1316]

Love all your golden stitched pieces. Our tastes in colors and subjects are very similar. Thanks for a wonderful video.

[@patanderson4169]

Enjoyed this video very much! Rework wouldn't be something I would probably pick for myself, but after seeing yours, I LOVE IT! I love the Pennsylvania Dutch looking circles at the top. Those Christmas stocking reflect many, many hours of work but what wonderful keepsakes...now you'll need to start on grandchildren when they start coming! Any time I can sit and stitch is golden to me...seems like the days fly by and I don't get to stitch much at all. Thanks for all the inspiration!

[@anitameyer9465]

Thanks for another video and update on your projects. Hope that 2024 is a golden year. My holiday shopping is 75 percent done!

[@HilltopStitching]

I haven’t even started on my Christmas shopping this year. Hopefully in 2024 I’ll have my act together!!

[@sharonedmondson2923]

Our Christmas is very small this year. Son & family live in Maui and daughter & family live in Colorado. We decided that travel over the holidays is too hectic, so I Amazon'd gifts to them. Husband and I just buy whatever we want all year long, so we are done. Golden

[@susanreamy6239]

I'm almost done with the gift prep, just a few more small things to finish up. Less but better. Golden. Wool.

[@NancyDeMere]

Always love to see what you are working on--a real inspiration. You are golden!

[@catherinelaurent5219]

Merry Christmas: Congratulations on finishing Redware, oh how I dislike ripping out so sorry you had to. Way back when the magazine came out, I did the Santas Woodshop for my husband, all your stockings are beautiful, love that your husband played football and the clarinet at the same game. Thank-you for sharing about the Little Brown House Gazette newsletter. Golden, Holly, Christmas, wool, Gather, 2024, we do not exchange gifts we play the dice game with wrapped gifts the open and steal from each other with the dice, it so much fun there are 30 of us.

[@kathywishman6114]

Yr stitching is Golden! Those stockings are just fabulous! We are “ older” so for grands we just do gift cards & money to the kids. Merry Christmas & Happy 2024!

[@junewood3012]

WOW, the stockings are absolutely precious 💞, thanks for sharing!! I have everything bought, not wrapped... 5 pillow cases to sew - 4 stitched ornaments left to FFO - binding left to do on 3 table runners. I'm off work this week, thank goodness 😅 Thank you for sharing the Elk photos too!! 2024

[@rebeccaspaulding280]

I so love the golden delicious apple.

[@sueweddle4589]

Your stitching is Golden! I only have one gift to buy, for Christmas! I can just relax and enjoy the season.

[@charj57]

Love that Ugly Christmas Sweater kit. Great job on your stocking finishes. I stitched 3 of these for our children. I had someone finish them for me. Golden Holly Christmas wool gather

[@sandyevenson-hagen370]

Redware finish is wonderful! I’m going to try and find that issue. Your stockings are amazing, what wonderful treasures! Thanks for sharing! 🎄

[@carla_mc]

Loved seeing those beautiful stockings. I am a last minute shopper and depend on Amazon. Golden is lovely so yes. Wool sheep are my favorites.

[@patricelambusta7865]

It has been a super busy December between teaching middle school and the arrival of our third grand child....still have so much to do. I am interested in Golden and Wool. Thanks so much.

[@CheryllMarchalk]

Love your floss tube and all the different patterns you choose, its golden

[@leannebriggs1972]

You have made me rethink those stockings! I have that same book loaded with 10-12 patterns but I have never stitch a one! Perhaps 2024?🤔 Golden. Golden. 2024

[@SuperMacmom]

Merry Christmas! I don’t like crowds and driving in the snow so I start my Christmas shopping early or when I see the exact gift I think a person on my list would enjoy and I buy it no matter what month it is. Works for me. Golden, wool, gather.

[@sheilacasper2030]

Love the stockings. Labors of love.

[@kindredstitcher]

Thank you!

[@sheilasmith3977]

golden holly Christmas wool gather I am in the process of buying my Christmas presents. If I made them, they are finished but I still have to wrap finish with the last minute gifts.

[@DLNYTube]

Love ‘Redware’, as well as your other finishes! I’m on the lookout for Christmas gifts all year round, but usually finish everything up during November/December. For a golden 2024, we don’t gather wool, but have just enjoyed a Holly, Jolly Christmas.

[@HapHazardous]

Thank you for a wonderful flosstube visit and for including the photos at the end. (Loved that huge elk herd.) I don't do a lot for Christmas anymore (unlike when I was younger), so I'm essentially done with gifts and prep. I'll probably throw in an Audible membership for my sister last minute, tho. She always likes that. Gather golden wool!

[@kaykirn9552]

Another video full of eye candy. Golden opportunity to try Roxy floss! My Christmas shopping is done because at my age I get a bunch of money cards and stuff with cash. My family loves it!!!🎄🎄🎄

[@lifewithvalerie21]

I have not been in the right mind set this year, so Christmas shopping has not begun. My husband keeps telling me we need to get on it. We ship gifts to our kids out of state. I would love to try Roxy floss, so golden.

[@juliew3740]

Wool can be so delicious. I used to be a “done by September” kind of gifter. Nowadays I’m just trying to keep up with the day-to-day tasks. I have a very small group of people to shop for, and this year I gave cash. The kids were going to Disneyland and cash made so much more sense. I have just a small bit of gifts that require wrapping and I had those prior to Thanksgiving (thanks Costco and HomeGoods). I suppose that makes me a medium organized gift giver. Somewhere in the middle of the two extremes. Now if I can only manage to get the wrapping done before Christmas Eve… 😁

[@roseheck9841]

With such a large family, and a whole brood of grandkids, we tend to give money. So shopping is done before it starts. Golden, wool. Merry Christmas Lisa!

[@kindredstitcher]

Merry Christmas!

[@meredithprovance5774]

It's always fun to see your updates. Congrats on finally getting Redware finished - I remember when you showed the start! I am about 80% done with my holiday shopping. I need to gather everything together and wrap - then I'll be golden! I usually end up getting 'add-ons' once I'm out and about in the snow. Hope you enjoy time with your family - and I'm looking forward to your wip parade!

[@kindredstitcher]

Oh my gosh, I started it in 2018!

[@vickiinkansas1399]

I’m close to being finished with my shopping. I need to get busy with the wrapping. I love getting up early when the sky is golden.

[@elizabethcoleman5437]

I definitely use Amazon a lot and I'm usually shopping up until Christmas & wrapping madly to get everything done Christmas eve. But this year, I am determined to be done sooner & to relax and enjoy my Christmas more. To that end, I think I am almost done shopping. Only 2 presents left to get. And then get everything wrapped by the end of next week. That's my plan! I want to have a relaxing golden Christmas and be able to welcome 2024 with peace & joy.

[@marilynferlitsch2003]

Your stockings are fabulous. Congrats on your Redware finish, so pretty. I am almost done shopping, just a few more to get, yes, I shop on Amazon. The mansion is gorgeous! Golden, wool Marilyn

[@karinmonnich3310]

Love your finishes and your progress on you wips. Happy stitching!

[@suzyqrunswithneedles]

Once upon a time, I was done Christmas shopping by Thanksgiving but no longer. Am I done this year? Not exactly. Our grown kids get cash or gift cards, so we primarily shop for grandchildren. This year, they are all getting “experiences,” which may mean going to venues that promote STEM activities, outings with their Opa and Oma (my husband and me). That will be easy to finish. Excited about 2024 stitching! Happy stitching, Lisa! 🧵🪡

[@kathykerr7837]

My plan for 2024 is to do wool embroidery whilst enjoying more apples like Golden Delicious. I have done half my Christmas shopping which was knitting for my great neices & nephews. I only have a few small things which I plan to buy locally. I will make some baked goods to gift, with home made decors. Trying a slow Christmas this year with reduced commercialise!!!

[@Editbostitch]

Those stockings are stunning😍

[@louannanderson3844]

I would love the golden pattern!

[@lindakenison405]

I’m still shopping for Christmas presents as my daughter and her husband have a small apartment and don’t need stuff. Oh well. I’ll need to be creative fast!

[@lisao8158]

I don't have a large family, so I am finished with my Christmas shopping. The Little Green Bean kit is so cute. I would like to see the Anything but Ugly Christmas Sweater Garland when you complete it. Too bad the kit is not sold anymore, but at least v the pattern is still available. Golden wool 2024

[@barbarabell6527]

Looking forward to your wip parade! Have a great weekend!

[@jdmcmarke]

I like the golden star at Christmas in 2024. I am done Christmas shopping but only since last weekend. Amazon loved me on cyber Monday😂

[@kristinejellum6289]

You are ‘Golden’. I sure enjoy your videos. Thank you for them. I would love to stitch golden as my grandfather had an apple orchard in Washington and grew gold delicious apples back in the day! Kris

[@amandamurphy9483]

My shopping is done. My grandchildren are at an age where they would like money and that makes my life easy. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas! Golden Wool Christmas Gather

[@kathythomas4839]

Your stockings are gorgeous!

[@HollisHandsCreate]

So good to catch up with you Lisa! Looking forward to your parade 😊

[@janellstoeger9517]

Before COVID, I was on top of shopping. I would shop through the whole year. We’re under going a remodel in our kitchen and it is taking all my energy. Golden Christmas wool would be great for me to stitch for my mom for next year! ❤ seeing your finishes and can’t wait for WIP parade and plans.

[@silantievster]

Golden Christmas Gather. Thank you for sharing. Im a total last minute shopper. I just go to a few stores and I always find what I need.

[@nicolehaugen9265]

I have about half of my gifts bought or made. I will (hopefully ) finish the rest this week ....Fingers crossed! In 2024 I plan to gather much golden wool 🤓

[@amyswihart7283]

I'm going Christmas shopping today with my youngest son. Hopefully to finish things up. In 2024 I hope to start a lot of new projects. I have about 12 on the go right now. Golden delicious is such a beautiful pattern; I just love the colors in it.

[@charlenereeder8317]

Golden colors are wonderful. Hope 2024 is full of wonderful stitches. I use Etsy first for things I don’t make myself.

[@kindredstitcher]

A special thanks to you my friend. 😊

[@barbarawallin6162]

Christmas, Wool! I love to see all you are stitching. Your samplers are so detailed. I really hope Alma reprints those beautiful Blackbird designs! My kids and grandkids have all moved out of state. It made me get my shopping done early so I could get everything mailed. Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@normaferro3190]

For our golden annuversary in 2024, there are plans to purchase a few patterns that have been on my wish list for years. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year!

Thank you, you too!

[@jeangrandel2757]

Golden, holly, Christmas , gather merry Xmas, Lisa and thank you for a great flosstube. I am done with my shopping and I avoid as much as possible Amazon shopping

[@vickimaloney9087]

I try so hard to finish my Christmas shopping several weeks before Christmas so that I can just enjoy the holiday…but it always seems like there’s always one more thing to do! 😜. 2024. Love listening and watching while I sit and get a few stitches in…Have a Wonderful Christmas!

[@lindakenison405]

Life is golden. Here’s wishing you and yours a blessed Christmas.

[@fancypants6697]

First timer here. You are so fun to watch and, of course, I have added more patterns to my long list of “wanna dos”. The stockings you did are beautiful! I, too have one that I haven’t put together. It’s because I have no one to give it to so it sits on the back burner. Have a Merry Christmas!

[@tracykoenen2828]

I don’t have a lot to buy but haven’t bought anything yet. Would love golden, wool and/or 2024.

[@deeb5808]

Thanks for the inspiration. I really like shopping less and less so mostly give money. Maybe we'll draw names next year to simplify. I make a great apple crisp with golden delicious apples.
