I think you made a great decision about Glitter House. Life is too short to force yourself to work on something you don’t like.

[@pvacha8278]

I love your Glitter Houses. I always believe that you make the project just for you, so Glitter House is just fine with 6! Keep Cool!

[@TheStitchingOwl]

I think the white walls allow your decorations and stitches to pop. Your fully finished items are exquisite! The gobble couple could be stitched separately and made into adorable stand ups.🦉🧵🐱

[@dianelegace4846]

Love your ffos. It is so nice to get things completely finished and enjoy them. Glitter houses is great as is. There is just not enough time in a day to do something we are not enjoying in our hobbies. I really like all of the gobble couples. I do love quakers and these have a little fun thrown in.😊

[@Donna_H.]

About TIME that Just Cross Stitch included the Halloween edition WITH the subscription! ~ Your FFO's are great, but I especially love your "Looking Out" window piece! It's on the top of my to-do list now! Thnx!

[@carolineworkinprogress4911]

Congratulations on finishing Glitter Houses - it does look great with six houses, and you’ve got finite time so good for you for choosing to stitch other things! Gobble;-)

[@CynPope1]

oh yes the summer heat...118 here in the Phoenix area. Tami does lovely work...I have enjoyed all the finishes that she has done for me.

[@normaferro3190]

Oh Carolyn, if our summer had temperatures of over 100, I think I’d pray for Halloween. Your glitter houses are just adorable.

[@lauralandry3713]

Gobble and I love your channel

[@lynncordova8169]

Love your ffos, especially the Christmas Window. Cat Alphabet looks so good. I am cheering you on to finish the cat!

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you so much!

[@MoniMerel]

The glitter houses look beautiful and it don't look like something is missing. It is good to stop a project if you don't love it anymore. I hope you will still enjoy this stitch on your wall!! See you next week 🤗

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you so much for the support and encouragement, my friend! It means a lot!

[@joyd5000]

Beautiful finishes!

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you! 😊

[@carriejellison3415]

I could stitch Halloween all year long!! Love your videos!! Enjoy your vacation! Happy Stitching!!!

[@kathyn4267]

Hope you cool down soon! Have a great week!

[@jill.reads02]

Halloween, Gobble. Love the houses. Sometimes you just have to do what feels right for you. Thats whats so great about this hobby. There are no rules. Mini Marvels is so cute!

[@Daybreak_Stitcher]

Look at you go on E Pluribus Unum!!! 🎉❤🎉 I honestly flew through the bands. I thought it would take a long time but then I was done. 🥰👏🏽🥰

[@Craftywithwords]

Congratulations on your Glitter Houses finish!! And kudos to you for pulling the plug on that project. We cross stitch because we love the craft. Life is too short to make your craft time miserable. I love your fully finishes. I would be hanging them all over the house even though it's not winter. E Pluribus Unum is beautiful. I'm headed to Loveland for a girls cross stitch and knitting weekend. I may have to pick that piece up. Stay cool and have a great week!

[@margaretbaker623]

Hi Carolyn. I was chuffed to see you finished your ornament with the red star! Woohoo! Great decision on your glitter village. Your stitching hours shouldn't be wasted on something that you don't love. x ⚘️

[@czookstitch488]

I will always think of you when I see that red star! From my star down under!

[@lindapearson3340]

Love your finishes and Love your Glitter House. I worked at JoAnn's for 26 years and I finally retired and I use to get a 30% off too with my employee discount and it really helps a lot but now that I am retired I just get it for the sale price which is fine with me because now I have more time to stitch. Enjoy your time off of work. Happy Stitching.

[@neilstephen6761]

Enjoyed your video and happy stitching

[@terrystephenson8253]

Gobble. I love watching your videos. This year, I decided to complete as many wips as possible instead of starting new things. I am so excited for 2025 so I can begin new projects. This Gobble couple would be great! Have a great month off from school.❤

[@catherinelaurent5219]

Hi Carolyn: We just relaxed and had a quiet Fourth, 100 wowzer that is hot, you have been a busy lady, decluttering does feel good. I am a summer girl, here in Minnesota it gets cold very cold, your Bee pillow is lovely, the ornament finishes are beautiful, Cat Alphabet is a hoot, that looks like it will be very large when fully stitched. Oh my 85 hours congratulations on the finish, I am going to do E Pluribus Unum, but I will have an even bottom, the uneven bottom is not for me, love Summer Montage, nice progress on the rose, lovely progress on Miniature marvels, love the Penguin needle holder. Good luck on your painting, stay cool.

[@normajeansicard4842]

Hi Carolyn! Tami did a beautiful job of FFO'ing your finishes! Don't work too hard...lol. I started decluttering last week (things that I didn't get to during Spring cleaning). I tackled the cabinets under the sink in the master bathroom. Awwww sorry that you and that fabric couldn't get along. It's beautiful with just the six houses. Happy Stitching!

[@suelambert5760]

Carolyn, I really enjoy your FlossTube! So many great projects. You have a busy month ahead of you, I hope it cools off here in the NW, it’s been real hot here in Dallesport, unfortunately I’ve been sick with the flu but at least I’ve been inside where it’s nice and cool. I’ve been able to catch up on your last three flosstubes.

[@lindaklinedinst9236]

Hi Carolyn Love the Finishes from Tammy - they are so pretty. Love your WIPS - especially the Cat Alphabet. In my area it is very hot out as well. I stay in most of the time when it is hot out. I hope that you can stay cool inside of your house and just stitch. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵✂️❤️

[@lynnmagill1897]

Love your videos. I like the gobble. Thank you

[@sugarplumstitcher]

I am working on a picture right now that is on opalescent fabric. Thank goodness it does not have as much glitter as your fabric. Have a great week. Happy stitching.

[@karenmorrone7103]

All the FFO's are beautiful. Halloween is my favorite holiday. 😊❤

[@teresaboyer284]

Hi Carolyn! I heard you about the heat. My bedroom also faces west and is upstairs so the central AC just couldn’t cool it up there. A friend who does HVAC for a living recommended a Mitsubishi unit. It’s not at all like the ugly ones that hung out of a window. This thing is small and they actually put it right at the ceiling in a wall. It’s completely out of the way. It has made our bedroom livable and can make it much cooler than we want! Alan loves it because it dropped our electric bill! Call any reputable AC company and get some info. It’s not expensive and you will thank yourself!

[@woodlandstitchingstudio]

I think I like Glitter House better with only 6 houses. I like the rectangle shape better than the square. The whole think is beautiful and I love the color combo. I'm loving watching your cat alphabet grow. Can't wait to see the first block finished. Enjoy the rest of your time off and try to stay cool! 😊😊😊😊

[@Linda_James]

Gobble is always good. I agree 💯 % on your decision about Glitter House. It’s beautiful just like it is.

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you!

[@deborahwirtz]

Great work. Halloween is my favorite stitching subject 🦇

[@annemousseau8757]

I enjoy passing out candy on Halloween. I hope you enjoy your time off.

[@michaeljones4380]

Carolyn! Greetings from Dallas! I can empathize with your heat issue there in the PNW. It’s been in the high 90s edging into the 100s here for a couple of weeks which is not unusual for us. Glad you have air conditioning!! Your finishes by Tami are just beautiful! I’m definitely going to keep her information handy! Stay cool and enjoy your month off!! Halloween. Thanks so much!!!!

[@heden1460]

I was in AZ last week and the temperature was 118. I'm glad to be back in NM where the temperature is in the lower 100's. I was outside last night with my dogs and it was 91, which I thought felt really nice after being in the higher temps.

[@CrombieTX]

I love your tree ornament (by Floss and Fleece)! I just ordered the magazine so I can stitch it, too. gobble

[@SoggyDoggyStitcher]

Hard to think of Halloween and gobble day stitching when we are going through a heat wave. Maybe it will make us think of cooler days ahead.

[@Raven61362]

Halloween, 🎃 I enjoyed seeing all the things you’ve been working on.

[@rosecastro720]

Woo cat alphabet😻Glitter village looks great just the way it is! I feel for everyone dealing wit the heat, I live in AZ but glad I'm in Tucson n not Phoenix lol. Stay cool n don't forget the sunscreen😁 Gobble

[@lynnxstitchescreates]

Beautiful progress and finishes 😊💕

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you! 😊

[@rosamoulton9775]

Beautiful finishes and great progress 😊Happy stitching I love Halloween 👻

[@beckydanco602]

Enjoy your time off. Goble is adorable. I am loving how cat alphabet is looking. Your glitter house finish looks amazing.

[@sassycove]

Love the finishes. Just finished your Halloween flip through. ❤

[@amyswihart7283]

Your finishes turned out so good! I just finished my oldest wip, which was a Halloween chart by Tiny Modernist.

[@sumirao9513]

Always enjoy your videos and hear what you are getting up to. I thought it was hot here but it is crazy where you are! Glad you are staying somewhat cool and having a productive time off. That gobble couple chart is so cute! I love Thanksgiving, it is my favorite holiday. Hope it cools down for you soon. Thanks for sharing your progress and happy stitching!

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you so much my friend! It's so hot everywhere - please stay safe!

[@lee-annbender5515]

Enjoy your month off. I get zero vacation this year due to job change and I miss vacation.

[@Jeremiahs_Mom]

Halloween Good luck staying cool. We've been having high heat here in Indiana too. Have a great month off and good luck getting all chores done with lots of extra stitching time. Love your finishes!

[@sharonwilliams6787]

I would love to stitch from your Halloween magazine. I understand the heat. We have had 99 to 106 temps. This week Sweltering

[@chrisarcher4916]

Have fun on your month off! I’ve had the Glitter House set for about 4 years now and I haven’t started it yet. At this point I don’t think I like the pastel colors on the houses, so I might just sell the set. I would love to stitch the Gobble Couple because my son’s birthday is St Patrick’s Day.

[@joyceclowser3371]

Thank you for the heads-up on the JoAnn’s sale. You did a lot of stitching on Cat Alphabet!! No excuses needed on Glitter Village. You have been on the struggle bus on that piece for a long time. Time to move on, right? Happy stitching! Hugs.❤

[@czookstitch488]

I am SO happy to move on from Glitter Houses!!

[@evelynwatkins1105]

Carolyn, I look forward to all your videos. We lived in Phoenix for many years, so I really sympathize with what you're going through with your heatwave. Now we live in southern Missouri and the summers aren't as long but they are awful. Hot and humid. Your FFO's from Tammy are just beautiful. I really love the Glitter Houses. They're just gorgeous but I don't blame you for not doing all 9. It' still a stunning piece!!

[@jacquelineleibfried4691]

Stay cool and keep on painting. Enjoy the rest of your time off. Gobble.

[@pattysmith9266]

Have an great time off not really resting as you sound very very busy. 104F=40C which is where we are heading too on Tuesday it is too hot. Gobble is very cute. Love the finishing that Tami did Happy stitching Patty

[@czookstitch488]

Ugh - stay safe in the upcoming heat! Thanks for checking on the conversion for me.

[@carlahaskell2178]

Love Cat Alphabet. I think your Glitter House finish is perfect !! I agree with you totally about the heat. Give me low 70's. My husband always teases and says we should move to Astoria. I'm looking forward to Halloween weather. Tami's finishes are absolutely gorgeous. Keep enjoying your time off.

[@czookstitch488]

I agree - low 70s is my compromise temperature - I would love even cooler than that! I would love to win the lottery someday and move to the coast!

[@denisegray9106]

I love Halloween 🦇

[@nenitabutcher5518]

Stay cool. It’s just starting to get hot up here in Alberta. We had a real cool spring. Gardens are not the best. Cuz it was cool. Take care. Gobble

[@lisaclark2217]

Have fun the rest of your month off! Your finishes are so cute! Halloween, gobble

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you so much!

[@deborahgoethe362]

Halloween is great!

[@virpir2453]

*Halloween* I love the cat alphabet design.

[@karinmonnich3310]

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

[@nannettmcdougal-dykes9339]

Love the Halloween is amazing....the gobble is to good...please take care and be safe

[@lindaficetola607]

Hi Carolyn, How can we get sick of seeing you. HALLOWEEN GOBBLE I ❤️ Glitter houses so pretty. It's very hot here on the east coast. We had terrible lightening and thunderstorm and then the sky opened up. After that it was still hot. I like the cooler weather also. Love your finishes. Cats alphabet coming along great . Happy stitching.

[@czookstitch488]

Please stay safe, my friend! It's so hot everywhere it seems!

[@charj57]

I need to dig out my JCS Christmas 2018!!! Halloween gobble

[@joannesalerno1384]

I am stitching Halloween in July. Gobble is so cute. Thanks for another great video.

[@czookstitch488]

Ohh that's a fun take!

[@sharonwurm4382]

It’s so hot in Reno too! I wholeheartedly support finishing Glitter Village where it’s at. It’s still stunning! Love the Aury TM pattern - gobble! Hang in there and stay cool.

[@zelkas.9024]

Cat alphabet looks great 🤩. Halloween

[@DeviSisk]

🖤🪡🧵🪡🖤 stay cool

[@robinselby1]

I thought about stitching glitter houses but I wonder if it would be pretty on a blush pink fabric? Everyone who stitches it complains about the glittery fabric so I’m sure I would not like it ! I haven’t seen it on any other fabric though and I hate to invest in the patterns and not stitch them! ❤ love yours and I totally get why you stopped! Love your finishes too! Blessings always! Enjoy your painting , I’m on vaca at the end of July and will be painting our home also! Well I broke down and purchased the bat mirror from Joann’s (thanks Helen D) for a special Halloween project I just ordered too! I always have a spooky stitch going!

[@misfitstitcher]

Have been stitching Halloween since May. Enjoy all your videos, especially when Jack and Simon visit. What are their Halloween costumes?

[@helenlunn5254]

Enjoy your month off. Halloween

[@natalyazav1842]

Gobble & Halloween!! ❤ I live in Arizona and the heat is no joke. I'm also a barber and it's beyond me how men golf in such weather of 120 degrees 😂..

[@czookstitch488]

I could never live in AZ! I get cranky when it's over 70!! LOL!

[@margie6534]

My husband loved Halloween more than Christmas. Gobble gobble gobble!

[@denisegray9106]

Gobble is pretty.

[@virginiamackintosh7816]

I applaud your decision to stop Glitter Houses. It looks great as is. If you use the day you decided to stop as your finish date, then it can count toward your 50 by 50. Just saying….😜

[@lucianafuntowicz]

I was just going to say we have 114 in AZ so you are not quite there :). But most people do have a/c.

[@lucianafuntowicz]

I really like the cat piece! I’ll admit if it were me I would finish that first square and then pretend that was the whole piece 🤭

[@lucianafuntowicz]

Bother, it won’t let me edit. I love glitter houses just the way it is - congratulations on the finish!
