You poor thing! Hugs! I’m so glad you had a wonderful time at StitchCon. Enjoy your company. I am always in the mood for hot cocoa. It is not only for sitting around the Christmas tree. ❤

[@susanwagner529]

I am so sorry that illness came with the Stitch Con fun…I got lucky that my end of the room at Stitch North stayed healthy. Take care of you.

[@czookstitch488]

It was worth all the fun, that's for sure! Glad you stayed healthy at Stitch North! Will you be at Stitch North in October? (Forgive me if you've already told me...)

[@tracydaly6980]

The Tree Farm reminds me of going to the Christmas tree Farm in MD and VA every year to cut down our Christmas tree 🌲 every year with the family. Feel better, ty for the great video! 💛🌹💛

[@czookstitch488]

I love that time of year and those memories associated with it!

[@margaretbaker623]

Hi Carolyn. Poor you. Hope you're feeling better. Thanks for the recap. x⚘️

[@arleencurry]

Cocoa tree. Thanks for sharing your Stitch Con experience.

[@lynncordova8169]

Carolyn, you are such a sweetie to do this video now. You could have waited unti you felt better. We would miss you, but understand. ❤❤❤ You must have been drinking some "happy juice" when you set your wips to be completed this year. Lol. I hope you feel better soon.

[@czookstitch488]

I nearly choked on my coffee when I read your comment! Ha! Happy juice - I think you're right - I was definitely "out of my mind" when making my Year of WIPS plans! LOL!

[@jensinejohnson3917]

Glad you are the mend. Thanks for the recap. Cocoa tree

Hi friend! I hope you are not sick - question just answered - so sorry you are sick again from StitchCon. Glad you had a good time at StitchCon otherwise. Amazing progress on Spring Montage. Love the before and after pictures. It is looking so good! Nice progress on Princess Iliana. Thanks for the overview. Try not to overdue and get even more sick. Take care. Love and hugs to you and the boys. Happy stitching when you find the time. Dawn

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you my sweet friend! I am feeling better but with a cough that likes to stick around! I hope you are getting answers on your own health and are feeling better!

[@lindaromar2824]

Carolyn, I feel for you. I’m glad that you had a good time and saw friends but getting sick is terrible. Please be careful and take care of yourself. That’s more important than cross stitching. Rest, rest and rest. 😊

[@czookstitch488]

Wait, what? Something is more important than cross stitching??? Being a grown up is hard...

[@KimberlyL1958]

Sounds like you had a wonderful time Carolyn! I’m at stitch con weekend B right now! Love all your projects and haul! Cocoa and tree. 🌷🌺❤️💕

[@danasimmons8597]

Tree. Ty for your time and expertise.

[@lindadulin174]

Hello Carolyn, I hope that You are feeling much better really soon. I really enjoyed Your flosstube today. The Hummel patterns are really cute. My Mom collected the Hummel figurines all of her adult life and I absolutely love anything to do with Hummels. Did You know. That the nibs that are used to make Cocoa grow on a tree? When I lived in Ecuador, my in-laws had some Cacao trees on their property, the nibs are pretty bitter until they are processed. Get well soon, stay safe and as always, GOD BLESS. Linda

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you so much, my friend! I did hear that cacao nibs are bitter until processed. I visited Ecuador once and everywhere I looked was breathtaking.

[@jacquelineleibfried4691]

Good wishes for a speedy recovery.

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you so much!

[@RedHatStamper]

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you so much, my friend!

[@debragossett6476]

Hello!! Many are having issues with increased pollen and are getting colds. Hope you feel better soon. Great recap from Stitch-con even if you felt poorly. ( This emoji came up for 💩) I heard hot drinks like tea or cocoa are helpful.

[@forgetmenotjem1147]

Love the coca (did I spell that right?)😏 and tree patterns, so cute. I'm stitching Eliza's bird atm, didn't know about the companion piece, all that's me off to find it now. Get well soon x

[@StitchinJem]

I hope you feel better soon! I may stitch the my heart and your heart are very old friends with your initials on it!

[@czookstitch488]

Ok now I'm blushing!!! So wonderful to meet you!

[@jbwdesignscrossstitch4750]

Hi Carolyn, so nice to meet you at Stitch Con and thank you for mentioning my company. Ironically I received an email from someone named Sharon B, and she and I share the same last name ( which was my maiden name). And she reminded me to tune into your recap. What a great weekend! I too arrived home with a cold! Hope you feel better soon!

[@marygillmarten6758]

Feel better; have a great time with your friends and thanks for the video despite it all -- you are so generous! I enjoyed seeing all your new charts!

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you so much my sweet friend!

[@FrostyXStitch]

Oh, I wish I could go to StitchCon one day.... Hope you feel better soon 💚🌷

[@czookstitch488]

I hope you can attend one day! Thank you my friend!

[@deborahgoethe362]

Hope you start feeling better! The tree in back of my house is huge !!!

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you my friend!

[@CountTwiceStitchOnce]

Enjoyed the recap. Hope you feel better soon. 💜

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you!! 😊

[@JillybeanL66]

Glad you had an amazing time at stitch con, feel better soon. Maybe have some hot Cocoa

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you so much!

[@lindahollingsworth2495]

Cocoa tree thanks for sharing.

[@fionamacartney7012]

Oh no … that sounds like the same virus as I had … all the way over in England!! It’s a horrible virus and mine took nearly 3 weeks to shift … Hope yours moves quicker.

[@CrombieTX]

Newbie to your floss tube and I enjoyed it. On your flag WIP, where you have the blue square with the white stars - did you stitch the white stars or the blue background first? tree

[@czookstitch488]

I'm so glad you're here - thanks for stopping by! I alway stitch the white first, followed by other colors. This prevents the darker colors from getting "caught up" in the white (I hope that makes sense).

[@MoniMerel]

Get well soon!

[@sharonwilliams6787]

So sorry that you came home sick. Get plenty of rest before your company comes. Cocoa, tree

[@kathyn4267]

Thank you for the pictures of stitch con. Did you mean coca or cocoa. Either way it is good. Nothing like a cup when you have been out in the cold. Have fun with your visitors. See you next time.

[@czookstitch488]

Thanks, my friend!

[@beckymcnabb4501]

Cocoa and tree. Hope you feeling better soon !!

Oh Carolyn you are a trooper, I could clearly see it was a effort. You must put yourself first sometimes. Glad you had a wonderful time at StitchCon, seeing friends and making new ones. Hope you feel better very quickly and are able to have a great time with your friends. Take care🤗🇬🇧

[@czookstitch488]

So true - good point! Thank you my friend!

[@lindapearson3340]

[@sharonbeck-hl7cf]

I didn’t even notice the ants until you pointed them out.

[@czookstitch488]

Ha ha - me either. Girl, I was SHOCKED when she pointed them out to me! LOL! It's funny now.

[@michaeljones4380]

Carolyn! Greetings from Dallas! LOVED hearing your Stitch Con recap! So much fun! You mentioned going to Stitch north in October. Are you by any chance going in the Spring also! I’m signed up for weekend Two. Would love to meet you if you are!! Thanks so much!!

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you so much! Unfortunately, the spring dates don't usually work for me, as it's so close to the end of the semester and a busy time as a professor. It would be great to meet you sometime though!

[@annlink8265]

I am so glad that the XS goodies were found good homes.... at least temporarily. It was the best part of my June so far! It would have been better had I NOT left my fabric and qsnap in the bathroom at Keepsakes. Oy vey! I am sorry that you are not feeling well (and Kanday and Deb as well. Andrea escaped the bug?) Just a reminder that a few of the charts I gave you are used. I bought the Hummel patterns, but I just don't think I will ever get to them. I hope you are feeling better today, Friday and that you get to enjoy your company. xox Happy stitching.

[@czookstitch488]

It was also the highlight of my June! I am so thankful I was able to meet you in person. You were so generous with everything! Xo
