Loved your Christmas parade! You always have unique “critter” patterns that I’ve never seen before. And your ornament and stocking finishes are gorgeous!

Thank you Jennifer!😁

Hi Amanda, I’m watching one of your older KZbin where you just got over a migraine and I can totally sympathize!🤗 My daughter has them since she was 12(37 now), what a nightmare! I live in Toronto and I don’t have any stitchy friends, my friends roll their eyes when I talk about cross stitch and my family leave the room😂. But I have two new best friends now, you and Needleberry stitcher. I spent many hours a day enjoying your “company”! Hopefully your migraines will go away for good! Isabela

[@9001012]

Amanda, thank you for sharing your beautiful cross stitch. Merry Christmas 🐈‍⬛🐁

[@luckychancestitcher]

Merry Christmas to you!

[@mimisstitchery4374]

Loved this video and seeing all of your beautiful finishes! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!

[@AdventuresOfStitching]

Wow!!! I loved all the Christmas things!!! ❤😊🤩🥰 Makes me feel very lacking in the Christmas stitching department lol

[@luckychancestitcher]

Thanks Alicia! It's OK, you are too busy stitching FC to worry about Christmas!😜

[@yvonnevigil7489]

I have been looking for that Santa from lavender and lace NO LUCK. Great video thanks

[@denisefoo3063]

😂 mice are doing the Cancan dance(like the the Rockettes)...Enjoyed your video and your finish on Santa of the forest. 😍Happy Holidays

[@luckychancestitcher]

Oh, now I see it. Thanks for helping me interpret that picture. 🤣 merry Christmas to you!

[@FrostyXStitch]

Merry Christmas and happy stitching 🎄✨

Love, Love, Love the tree Skirt

[@ChristmasStitcherAtHeart-Greg]

I was rewatching the mill hill portion and realized I hadn't commented. The problem I see with just wrapping it up is that the next "2 column's" could be awesome releases! I've just been gathering the ones that really strike my fancy, but then I see another, and another... Because I'm starting so much later, mine will probably wind up being smaller. Yours is so inspiring!

[@luckychancestitcher]

Yeah, that's my worry. Although, the only houses that I would be disappointed missing are a candy shop and a pet store, and I think they have done both of those in the main street series. So highly unlikely it will show up In the christmas village series. I will wait and see where I'm at once I start the beading. Good luck with yours!

[@renepainter7166]

Beautiful stuff as always!!

[@judithsmith593]

Wow, so many beautiful ornaments and advent calendars. Love your videos and stitching ❤

[@314stitcher]

I love that panda 🐼 the ribbon is beautiful. Just found your floss tube. I’m a fan!

[@luckychancestitcher]

Thank you! 😊

[@InfinityStitcher]

They are doing the "New York, New York" grand finale dance....and your story of how you went into labor, oh my. I came across your Flosstube, and am a new subscriber. Thank you for sharing!!! ✨

[@sharonmarie66]

Beautiful finishes, I’m so envious of your ability to make beautiful things! Just love the Mill Hill houses, you make me what to stitch all the little retro things now sigh…🙈 Happy new year 🍾🥂

[@luckychancestitcher]

Thank you so much!! Anyone can turn their stitching into something beautiful! Just remember....it doesn't have to be perfect!😃

[@sharonmarie66]

@@luckychancestitcher thanks for the encouragement 🙂

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

This was so enjoyable to watch. All the pieces are beautiful. I am going to be stitching the advent animals for my great niece. You did a great finish. Your kids loving it makes it worth it. It is fun to watch someone stitching different pieces the - not the same patterns everyone else is doing. The Xmas tree skirt is so pretty. Merry Christmas 🎄 🎅 🤶

[@luckychancestitcher]

Thank you Cindy! The advent animals are so fun! I hope you enjoy them! Merry Christmas to you!

[@RogueMamaStitcher1]

Amanda! Merry Christmas! 🎄❤️❄️ All your Christmas FFO's look awesome! 🎅😻 I think I'll start Jingle Pals tomorrow. I love the Ruth Morehead Holly Babe stocking with the mouse! That's the stocking I stitched for myself when I was 17 or so. You know my taste. 😂

[@RogueMamaStitcher1]

BTW, that mouse story was terrifying .😅 I would've freaked too.

[@luckychancestitcher]

Merry Christmas to you amber! Yes, I do know your taste!🤣

[@VonnaPfeiffer]

Fantastic video! I love Christmas! That Brooke’s Books Knitting Angel ❤❤❤❤ and the love and work that went into the Advent Animals…astounding! Have a very Merry Christmas!

[@luckychancestitcher]

Merry Christmas to you Vonna! I'm cheering you on for a finish on your santa of the forest!!

[@pamgrant832]

I just love the Laveder and Lace Forest Santa. I finally finished and framed mine this year too. 🥰

[@marciaoppedal9181]

Love all your videos. You have many beautiful pieces. I think the reindeer may be line dancing… each of them are kicking out with one leg?😀 Enjoy your beautiful purchases.

[@luckychancestitcher]

Thank you Marcia! Yes, someone else suggested that they were doing the can can.😂

[@annieann99]

Merry Christmas. I enjoy your finishes. So sorry for the Kitty disaster. I had a similar problem with a needlepoint stocking found in a muddy snowbank the dog had taken. I saved it though .

[@luckychancestitcher]

Animals are so high maintenance!🤣Merry Christmas to you!

[@tammybunge5615]

So many beautiful finishes!!❤❤❤

[@WendysWhimsicalStitches]

So many wonderful Christmas pieces! I really like your advent tree wall hanging. If I stitched nothing else, it would be Christmas charts. Your tree skirt is definitely not tacky. 😂 All of what you choose to stitch is either cute or fancy. 😊 I'm sorry about your cat's choice of location to throw up. Have you heard of My Pet Peed spray? I'd hope it's available to ship to Canada. I thought it was a little expensive, but I purchased a gallon and a spray bottle since we have three dogs. I'm guessing it probably wouldnt be great to use on needlework, but it works much better than oxyclean for removing pet stains and odors. It hasn't bleached my upholstery, thankfully. It has a faint odor when sprayed, but diminishes. I even had a carton of eggs get crushed in the back of my SUV and as much as my husband said he cleaned it up, it stunk like garbage. I sprayed My Pet Peed on it; right away it started bubbling and the odor was gone in a day. Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄 🪡

[@luckychancestitcher]

Thanks Wendy! Thanks for the tip. Im going to check out that product. My carpets take a beating.

[@WendysWhimsicalStitches]

@@luckychancestitcher YW! Our floors would be a nightmare if we had carpet! It's hard enough keeping the tile clean with the Great Dane's huge paws. I forgot to mention thanks for giving the story behind Santa of the Forest. Marilyn Leavitt Imblum designs were the designs that really spurred my interest with cross stitching as my main hobby. 😊

[@thetravelingstockingstitcher]

Merry Christmas, Amanda! Love seeing all the Christmas stitching, especially the stockings, of course! I appreciated hearing about the different techniques you've tried for finishing your stockings. Finishing is not my strong suit, so I'll take any tips I can find. I may consider gluing cording because I've struggled with that and only use it if it's a stocking for a real person. The Brooke's Books Advent Animals really have to move up on my priority list. Santa of the Forest is stunning! And I loved the backstory about the piece. Happy New Year! --Deb

[@luckychancestitcher]

Thanks Deb. And merry Christmas to you also!

[@maureenbessant3109]

The piece that the cat puked on, could you unpick the stained bit and restitch it. If there is white unstitched bits, just fill in with white floss. Loved your video.

[@luckychancestitcher]

I thought about that but I don't have enough of the dimensions floss to re stitch and the reds are quite different when converted to dmc.

[@connieburke9738]

Love all your work! I’m getting ready to start Santa of the Forest. Could you please tell me with the staff is it stitched with filament +floss or braid. What did you use?

[@luckychancestitcher]

Thank you! I used petite treasure braid PB02.

[@inaratliff5596]

Love your finishes, what cloth did you stitch your Santa of the Forest on?

[@luckychancestitcher]

Thank you! I thing I used a colour and cotton lugana called salt rock. It was a fabric of the month so I'm not sure it it's part of her regular line.
