Sorry for the colds...my children had about 5 per year...and yes we both caught them too...love your Christmas tree pattern...if you could use a silver or gold bead...come up from the bottom of the fabric...go thru the star and the bead...then go back down the star...adjust the bead and star to fit on top the tree and tie off on the back side of the fabric...it is like doing a french knot...I know french knots don’t work unless you stagger the thread but the bead actually hold the star on...beautiful pattern...I like the animal patterns and the Angels’ one too...I collect Angel patterns...love them....best wishes and happy stitching ❤️

[@EricaDHouseMA]

I’ll have to try it with a gold bead that would be pretty!

[@redhooklyon8608]

That shirt is AH-MAZING! My daughter was born while Return of The Jedi was on in the background. (An accidental, but proud moment) 🤷🏻‍♀️👍🏻

[@EricaDHouseMA]

That’s awesome! If we had a third girl I’d be tempted to name her Rey or Leia.

[@textilaerika]

I hope you feel better soon! And if you feel that you are done with the magazine from better home and gardens, I would love to buy it.

[@kristimartin3427]

Glad you're feeling better. There's a norovirus going around. I would like to stitch the animals!

[@EricaDHouseMA]

We had noro last month on my birthday it was awful!

[@olgaromero5987]

Erica hope you are feeling better each day. Day late no problem, since I have a job I now am 3 days watching your video. I to (many moons ago) bought a Doll house kit from Michaels, had it almost finished then was transferred duty stations so it had to go into storage, on the return state side, it was not handled properly and I just had to toss it, it was for my girls and they were heartbroken, that it had to be tossed. I recently, saw a few kits at Hobby Lobby and was tempted to buy one, but.... I don't really need one my daughters are grown and I have grandkids almost grown. Oh darn, if they were young I probably would. LOL

[@EricaDHouseMA]

I found a $34 kit at hobby lobby for a small one. Used a 40% off coupon so it was only $20. Now have to figure out how to put it together!

[@KrazyAwesomeful]

I would love to stitch the angels or the animals. Also I love cookies and cream fudge!!! Would love the recipe you use!!

[@EricaDHouseMA]

Here it is! www.101cookingfortwo.com/easy-oreo-fudge/

[@laurakittinger2903]

We love Bluey!! Definitely one of those shows that my husband and I “accidentally” keep watching when the kids go to sleep.

[@EricaDHouseMA]

I cry basically every episode lol.

[@darvanaleedesignsstudio]

the toy you are talking about is called a Fart Blaster and it is from the movie Despicable Me #3..if you google it, you find heaps of images of what it is :)

[@EricaDHouseMA]

I can’t believe this thing exists

[@ediefrasier2932]

Christmas Sentiments is just so pretty!

[@lindawalter2981]

I love angels

[@brendaalexander4601]

I would like the Angel's one. Thank you Erica.

[@susanstrong9218]

Erica, when a pie turns out NOT aesthetically pleasing....we call it RUSTIC. 🙂

[@EricaDHouseMA]

lol well mine was very rustic!

[@stitchingintherain-andrea200]

for your son, just google a Despicable Me 3 Fart Blaster. That is your fart shooter. There are some available on ebay, etc. The mini blaster key chain is cute. For the record, I am horrified that I understood what he wanted.

[@EricaDHouseMA]

Lol omg that must be where he got it from he’s seen that movie 😂

[@patchy_pony_stitcher]

🐴🐴🐴

[@amieclayton697]

I love the ANIMALS! It looks like they are mother/baby pairs and they are adorable! I would also love to stitch the ANGELS, especially the Native American one. What fun grab and go finds! (I also have several children and know how that goes!) I. Really like your dollhouse idea, too! Sounds fun 😃

[@nicolehaugen9265]

hahahaaha....good luck with the fart shooter :) The castle sounds amazing! Christmas Sentiments is looking fantastic

[@rose2fame1]

Hi, I’d love to have that Mizrach pattern, or the stitched finished product. Thanks for sharing.

[@jackalopestitches76]

What about a whoopie cushion as a fart shooter?

[@EricaDHouseMA]

We have one of those already so I think he meant something else.

[@EvaJurisson]

Remember taking my kids to see the Batman movies. Miss those times. I'd Love to stitch the angels.

[@madebymichellemcgraw5899]

Glad you are on the mend! I agree- faces are hard to get right. Years ago Stampin Up came out with some kid stamps/ they had a set of kids in the stamp set. My girlfriends and I called them the children of the corn stamp set...they were beyond weird!!! Whoever thought that design was good...was very mistaken!!! 🤣🤣🤣 no one wants a card with children of the corn stamped on it!!! You need Star Wars bags!!! Because Star Wars rocks!!!

[@EricaDHouseMA]

YES! I’ve been looking for Star Wars bags for a while and can’t find any I love. If you see some you like please send me a link!

[@MissJernberg]

Your christmas pice is so beautiful! I would love to stitch the angels 🤗

[@romantictangle]

That Victorian castle sounds absolutely amazing. My kids always loved visiting things like that (and still do -- I took my three teenage boys out to tour Victorian houses on Sunday, at their request)

[@EricaDHouseMA]

Oh man I wonder if we have Victorian houses downtown here we could visit.

[@lynnburkhalter1260]

Where did you get the magazine? I love that santa!!! Thank you!

[@EricaDHouseMA]

I got them all from a local craft thrift store.

[@craftieemily323]

Hi Erica, check out "dispicable me fart gun" on Amazon. It might be the right sort of thing. Little boys are ace!

[@EricaDHouseMA]

That’s hilarious he just watched that movie recently it must be where he got it from!

[@lisab.3116]

I'd love to stitch the animals. Thank you.

[@jojos853]

Hi .....get better soon ...l would like to stitch the angles ....we have our angle......she would be 2 now ...she was born sleeping ....happy stitching ..

[@EricaDHouseMA]

I’m so sorry ❤️

[@cubonecancraft]

Hope you are feeling better soon. I can totally relate. My doctor finally decided to rearrange some of my meds and I’m hoping that I will be feeling better by Christmas. The hope is that I will have less pain and also have better circulation to my fingers and toes so I can have better sensation in them to stitch. She is concerned that with the cold and how they looked that I may lose the tips of my fingers in the future from Raynauds. Please don’t be afraid of having things in your body if that is what is recommended for you. Lots of people have all kinds of things inside them. And I have things that I just consider “specialized body jewellery” lol. I have two feeding tubes right now but have had other things in the past. These have been part of my life for almost 7.5 years and almost 8 years now. I don’t even notice them. They get infected or inflamed from time to time but it really isn’t a big deal if it will mean more time with your kids right? Anyway sounds like you have a great trip coming up. The kiddos will have a blast. And mom and dad too😉

[@EricaDHouseMA]

I hope you start feeling better soon! I have heard of Raynauds and that it can be extremely painful.

[@lgcsew]

Hi Erica! Hope you feel better soon! I too love the Angels, fingers crossed. I completed the Apple Basket Santa this fall, all original threads and beads and it is a beauty, you would love every minute of the project. Hope you enjoy doing it as well. 🧵

[@EricaDHouseMA]

I loved seeing it stitched up! It really is on the top of my to stitch list for next year.

[@TarynVerleye]

Is it possible that your son wants a dart shooter? Like the nerf dart guns on the commercials?

[@EricaDHouseMA]

I think there was a fart gun on despicable me 3 😂

[@claudialyon2342]

Animals...I love that book!

[@susanradford9503]

I too am just getting over a flu bug - 3 days in bed. Luckily my 'boys' are 28 and 30 so don't live at home!! I have Christmas Sentiments too so am also interested to find out how to sew on the stars!!

[@EricaDHouseMA]

I went up and down through the same hole using a small bead on top to secure it.

[@carlaburgoon744]

Your Christmas Sentiments is so beautiful. That cardinal sampler is beautiful too. The castle sounds very interesting and I will have to go look at your Instagram pictures after. If you can't find a Angel Tree at the mall, you might consider a nursing home. A lot of them put up Angel Trees so the residents get a nice gift from Santa.

[@EricaDHouseMA]

I had never heard of nursing home residents getting angel tree gifts before. That is so sweet.

[@judischafman51]

Glad you are feeling better. Love those baby sounds in the background - too cute. The Christmas stitch is gorgeous - great job. Hugs

[@EricaDHouseMA]

There are always baby sounds in the background here!

[@AnnemarieMakowsky]

I would like to stitch the angels and I would like to stitch the animals

[@Calilopee]

fart shooter=whooppee cushion??

[@EricaDHouseMA]

Lol we have one of those already.

[@christinecaldwell-smith7760]

Look for a fart blaster gun. They made them a few years ago for one of the minions movies. My boys wanted one so bad!

[@EricaDHouseMA]

I scored one off eBay!

[@suddenlyjoy]

I think I know what toy your son is asking for. Google Despicable Me 3 Fart Blaster. (Btw I can’t believe I just typed fart on your tube ROFL, but it’s for the kid lol).

[@EricaDHouseMA]

Lol that’s it! I scored one off eBay.

[@suddenlyjoy]

Erica D. House fantastic! That makes me so happy. I love being Santa’s helper.

[@EMGcrafter]

The Christmas Sentiments is so pretty! I'm not familiar with attaching that star bead but if you can't get it to work, a star button may be a good alternative. I've always wanted a dollhouse; it would be so fun to decorate! And several months ago a YT video popped up in my queue with someone that had decorated a dollhouse in a Halloween theme! I was like OMG, I will now need two dollhouses, one regular and one for Halloween, LOL!

[@EricaDHouseMA]

Omg now I need to look for Halloween dollhouse

[@EMGcrafter]

@@EricaDHouseMA LOL!

[@dcxdecorate181]

Super

[@lynnlange1147]

My daughter lives in the springs and her husband and daughter are gluten free. She goes to some gluten free bakery down there that is amazing...the cupcakes she gets are the best I have ever tasted. It would be worth looking up if you haven't yet.

[@christinedoiron9742]

My chart for Christmas Sentiments just arrived this weekend. Can't wait to start it! Ordered it after seeing your last video.

[@EricaDHouseMA]

I’ll definitely look it up! I love sweets.

[@barbaracollins-miller3411]

I have 2 animals and love them dearly..my living room is all Native American so I would love to stitch the Angels...love them...tks for all you do...appreciate you...

[@arleencurry]

I would like to stitch the animals or the angels. Both look great. Thanks for your videos.

[@colleenisaac8621]

Animals! I LOVE the giraffes!

[@barbaraminnear3298]

I would love to stitch animals. Barbara M

[@mandysetterfield415]

Thank you Erica. Get well soon x

[@deborahgoethe362]

Oh!!! I love the angels pattern if I don’t win then I need more info so I can order it!!

[@kellyhale2778]

I would love to stitch the animals! I am doing Christmas Sentiments but have you seen "Blooming Bouquets" by Jeannette Douglas the #3 Joyful it fits in with the Christmas Sentiments its beautiful also. You will want it too, I think I got it off 123Stitch.

[@EricaDHouseMA]

I just saw it, it’s beautiful!

[@kayceehawkins246]

We loved Frozen 2! Omygosh soo good! My granddaughter asked to see it again! That never happens! I too have that issue with the old world Santa, but it was my original copy, lol. I've thought of doing a color conversion also. We'll see, I might still be fond of that 90's blue!

[@EricaDHouseMA]

I keep thinking of going back to see it again by myself!

[@sharynhutchinson885]

We got back from Disney two weeks ago with my three little grandsons. SO much fun! They went on the Polar Express train ride yesterday and really enjoyed it. I would like to stitch the angels.

[@EricaDHouseMA]

I’m hoping to go to Disneyland again next year and have my parents meet us out there. They’d have a blast!

[@bridgetdrew7321]

animals..owls are my fav..i must do all owls lol

[@cheryl7047]

I Love Animals!

[@scstitcher2178]

Hi Erica! Hope you continue to feel better! Wait a minute, Money came from priests “wife”? I’m not Catholic, but I didn’t think priests could marry? Am I wrong? ( yes all the great stuff you talked about and I zeroed in on the priest! LOL!)

[@EMGcrafter]

I was thinking the same thing, LOL!

[@EricaDHouseMA]

Lol that’s so funny I hadn’t thought of it! Maybe he became a priest after she died? No idea.

[@rachelstitches]

Christmas sentiments is beautiful. You may already know but 2 new Flosstubers have given you shout outs. Becca from Sambrie stitches mentions you in Flosstube #4 and Kayla Kolla is a big fan too. They both love you!

[@EricaDHouseMA]

I didn’t know that - thank you!
