It was so great seeing you back! I love your videos. Such a dapper Mr. Dexter 😻. Enjoy this upcoming holiday season. Stitch all the things and show/tell us all about it when you feel like it! 🦃🎄Nettle and Adam.

[@Sneezy1956]

Love your floss tube you are going to miss the chaos when the kids are gone believe an old lady. We have the same taste in stitching. I have a lot of the same patterns I want to start. I think you just made me want to pull out my Halloween stuff I just put away back out. I think your little felt cat is adorable.

[@lookwhatsinmyhoop]

@@Sneezy1956 Thank you for watching! I laughed right out loud over your Halloween decor comment. I was going to put mine away today but it didn't happen. I just wanted to stitch!

[@loriholmes8705]

I was happy to see you had a new flosstube video. Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to share your love of Xstitch. Your new kitty is so cute and I think your felt cat is looking great. Happy Autumn stitching. Nettle

[@cathy-grammieonthefarm4845]

Just found your flosstube videos! So enjoyable. We’ve many commonalities in our lives- kids, cats, dogs, horses, and our many years as an ICU nurse. Your little Dexter is quite the cutie. And Nettle is too.

[@obragg1]

Your new kitten is so cute. Happy he found a good home. Nettle

[@maryjoshields5681]

Nettle. Great video. First time I’ve seen you. Happy fall and looking forward to seeing your Christmas stitching.

[@HilltopStitching]

I love your decorations behind you!!!! I LOVE the Adam and Eve chart!!!

[@suzetteyoungblood6887]

All your decorations are so pretty. It’s nice to see you again, Erica, and you don’t need to apologize for having a busy life. Yes, enjoy it while you can because they grow up and are gone so quickly. I’m stitching Clovis right now and she would love to have Nettle as her companion! Since we may not see you for a bit, Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 😊 Suzette

[@bonniescheffer3154]

[@vickikesler9897]

I just found your flosstube. I have stitched tons of Mill hill kits. I only use two strands of floss. Your new kitten is adorable! Love all your Halloween decorations.

Enjoyed watching this video. Nettle is adorable. Take care

[@stitchinginhighheels9529]

It's good to see a video from you. It sounds like you've had a really busy summer and fall! I stitched my first piece on perforated paper in 2020; I was skeptical but I love it. The magnetic frames make a huge difference to me; I like that my threads don't get caught on the edges. When I stitched my first piece on 14 count perforated paper, I didn't see that the suggested number of strands was 3 and I used 2 the same as I do on 14 count aida or 28 count evenweave. My stitches seem to lie fine that way, I think stitching with 3 would make my stitches messier and not as even. Try stitching with 2 and see if you like it better. I just started another Mill Hill kit on perforated paper this week; I had some surgery and have been spending a lot of time in bed with my foot propped up and it's easier to see with less than optimal lighting (and the piece I picked has lots of blocks of color which fits my attention level right now.) I've had trouble getting into fall stitching this year. I'm down in the Catskills and our weather has been so weird that I haven't really gotten the fall vibes going. It's supposed to be cooler this weekend again, so I hope to pull out some leaves and pumpkins to stitch on! 🪡👠

[@lookwhatsinmyhoop]

@@stitchinginhighheels9529I didn't even think of using two threads. Thank you so much for the suggestion! I have several Mill Hill kits and I really want to do them all! I think it's been a warmer fall than normal but the colors this year are beautiful!

[@sarahstonehouse-tq6hz]

Hi! I have only just found you! Love all that you stitch and to get a peep at Dexter was the icing on the cake! Can't wait to catch up with all your other flosstubes.. Happy Stitching!

[@margaretelerick3017]

So glad to have found your video, looooove your decor! Also love all of your stitching and pattern choices, very up my alley too! Have a wonderful fall season!

Adam, Nettle🤗 Dexter is so cute ! Love your updates❤️

[@donnafowler7327]

Happy Halloween. This was the first time I found your flosstube. Enjoyed it so much that I immediately subscribed and plan to catch up on your previous videos. All those years you worked in ICU and your love of animals just proves what a kind soul you are. Your choice of patterns and fabrics are just what I like as well. I moved to Florida a few years ago from upstate NY and I surely do miss it this time of year. (do not miss shoveling snow in the winter though!)

[@lookwhatsinmyhoop]

@@donnafowler7327 Thank you for subscribing! I love fall and winter in NY. I don't mind the shoveling but driving in a blizzard to get to work is what gets me...I hate the white outs

[@LindaGreen-vm5te]

Nettles is just so darn cute.

[@owlbestitching8839]

Yes it does take so much time to make a video from beginning to end. But I’m glad you fitted one in!

[@wilenemoss4575]

Adam! Adam! My husband of 45 years passed away last month. I had stitched an Adam and Eve sampler for him 2 years ago because he just loved it. He always called it his. This would be stitched as a tribute to him. That being said, I was so happy to see you had put up a video. I was just wondering about you last week and hoping all was well with you. As always your stitching is lovely.

[@suzetteyoungblood6887]

Loved this!! You really need to do a Halloween home tour. Come back soon.

[@lookwhatsinmyhoop]

Lololol! There is so much construction going on at the house there is no way I could do a home tour! Maybe next year when everything is done. For every nice image you see here, there are multiple other messes you don't! see.

[@tsmith526]

I just found your channel. We stitch a lot of the same things and I love your Halloween decorations. I haven’t read through all the comments. But when I stitch on perforated paper I use two strands not the recommended three. It’s too tight for my liking. Just my suggestion. Your projects look great. I’ve had Friendship in my stash all kitted for about 3 years and you’re a makes me want to get it out. 😊 Nettle

[@lookwhatsinmyhoop]

Hi. A couple other people recommended two strands as well so I will definitely try that soon. Thank you for watching!

[@carolinesiskowic2154]

So many patterns, so little time! Can you link where you found Brenda Gervais The Pumpkin Patch pattern? I’m not finding it anywhere.

[@kathyc2959]

First of all, you have to keep doing videos, I so look forward to them! Your taste in decorating is wonderful and similar to mine. I love the kitten story as I have 3 now ...after a feral cat gave birth under my patio. I have to ask how you manage to decorate so beautifully with all the cats especially the kitten?? I'm so afraid to decorate for Christmas! Any tips would be helpful. I actually live in upstate NY too and yes, this weather has been awesome!! Enjoy your busy life, it goes by in a blink....I'm enjoying grandbabies now 🤦‍♀️. Where do you go for framing, I'd love to find a reputable framer . Love all your stitching and videos Kathy 🧡🎃🧡

[@lookwhatsinmyhoop]

@@kathyc2959 Hi! Where is upstate do you live? I take my pieces to The Frame Place in Mohawk. She does beautiful work. When it comes to decorating with the cats... honestly..I don't worry about it. My cats usually ignore the decorations and I don't get upset if a kid or a pet breaks something. It's just stuff. Anything that is too precious to me, I do put in a spot where it is more protected. But, I will say that I always have to tie my Christmas trees up. The cats and dogs have knocked over more than one chasing each other!

[@kathyc2959]

@lookwhatsinmyhoop oh my goodness, that is right near me. I live in Frankfort. I've always wondered about that place ....was afraid they might be too expensive but your framed pieces look beautiful. I might have to check them out. Thank you!

[@lookwhatsinmyhoop]

@kathyc2959 it definitely depends on the size, frame, and type of glass. I only frame pieces that I truly love and want for the rest of my life. But, I went to frame something at Michaels when they had their 70% off framing sale and I didn't get a great vibe from them. I didn't get the impression this person knew how to frame cross stitch. So I went to the frame shop and it was within just a few bucks of the Michaels quote, and I know the owner can do a beautiful job. If I had the piece framed at Michaels at regular price would have been pushing $1000. It's crazy.

[@kathyc2959]

@@lookwhatsinmyhoop wow, that's way out of my price range. I've taken a couple pieces to Hobby Lobby and the girl there did a nice job. I have so many pieces to frame 🤦‍♀️
