So happy to see you back. Pink house sampler is amazing. Cheese delivery soooooo close. So happy you managed to get moved. I can see why you loved the back yard garden. The view is fantastic. I can't believe how many out buildings you have. There seems to be a space for everything. Omg your own crafting space is awesome. Looking forward to your next video and more pictures of you beautiful home and location. I am in British Columbia, Canada and love seeing your little corner of the world. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Elaine! I´m late to the party, I´m sorry: Happy birthday! And what a wonderful house! I loved to see how you are living now, it´s amazing! I love your hens and dogs and your garden is so great, hope you feel well there! In Germany we give bread and salt and a penny to somebody who moved for luck, hapiness and lots of money, and this are really my wishes. Hope you show us more about your house and garden, looking forward to your next video, stay save and get healthier soon! Hugs!

It is so good to see an upload from you, that FINISH is just a wow as is Sally's. Cheese Deliver is SO SO SO CLOSE!!! Congrats on moving house but what an undertaking! I am a bit all over the place with WIPGO plans as well. I feel it made my year more intense but I did get a whole lot done and I did like the randomness of it. I did find that I wasn't able to really stitch on the projects that were calling to me and I want to listen to that voice in the coming year. I definitely want to get at least 1 full coverage done this year and the dedication to that will make other things fall off a bit. Happy Stitching and thanks for the videos

[@elliewelliestitcher]

I always enjoy seeing your progress pics on IG. You have some gorgeous projects ❤ I might just go with the flow next year and pick one or two focus pieces and go random with the rest!! Take care xx

Lovely to see you back! Congratulations on your finished piece and on the almost finished Cheese Delivery, it does look reaaaaly cute, you are absolutely right! I do not know the proper wish for a new house, but may you live plenty of joyful moments in it! I can almost feel the breeze and enjoy that "green" air while stitching on that little blue bench on your garden, near the chickens. I would love to see again the Salem Trial displayed and the other finish on the back of your door, love them both! I would love to see those two metallic threads stitched, the blue and the grey, they look amazing - I did not get their name.

[@elliewelliestitcher]

The metallic threads are Madeira threads. I’ve never used them before so I will let you know what they are like once I’ve tried them. Thanks for your lovely comment 😊

I so enjoyed the visit Elaine and Congratulations on the Gorgeous Big Pink house sampler...looks Amazing and I wouldn't worry about adding that flower, it looks Amazing as is. Glad yall got moved and settled but sorry it took so long for you to drive there....7 hours is a long time. Its a beautiful place you have and love the craft room, chicken coop, and garden...all that area is so pretty and looks so relaxing. And stop saying your waffling 😂....I call it visiting, so waffle or visit away...I love it when you do. Others can click off if they don't enjoy a nice visit. Hope you have a great couple of weeks and your getting so close to finishing Cheese Delivery 😊WOW!!! Happy Stitching ❤, JoDee

Hi Jodee, glad you enjoyed my video. How are you doing? Has the cooler weather hit Texas now? Take care my friend ❤xx

[@helenwilliams5143]

So happy to see you back on flosstube 😊. Love the finish on the Gorgeous Big Pink sampler. Will look great when framed. There was a picture framer in the village called Valley, where the military have an airfield. They were busy framing a lovely diamond picture when we called in a few years ago. Busy crocheting a poppy whilst watching your flosstube and enjoying all your progress, especially the Cheese Delivery, really looking forward to seeing it finished. Have just been enabled by Michelle of Momma loves you gb and downloaded the Witch gothic sign chart from CoolGothicStitch. Well worth a look!!😊 The views from your garden looks lovely. Belated Happy Birthday!!

[@elliewelliestitcher]

Hi Helen, yes I know the framers you mean but he has just had a hip replacement and is convalescing so no framing at the moment. I know the chart you mean as I watch Michelle’s Sunday briefing every week. One of the days when you are on the island perhaps we can meet up, I would really like that 😊take care and happy stitching xx

[@quietmindstitcher9326]

Hi Ellie! For your chain stitch heart - make a heart template in cardboard and trace around it lightly with a very sharp 3b pencil. Then do your chain stitch over that. Stem stitch would also work. Mxx

[@elliewelliestitcher]

Thank you for your advice 😊 I really appreciate it xxx

[@suedavies8565]

Congratulations Elaine on both your very special birthday and your very special house move, wishing you every happiness in your new home. Cheese delivery looks amazing - I have got it kitted up but have just put the last stitches into Forest Santa and Reindeer ( the one Lauren’s Mum did), so I’m going to take a couple of months break and enjoy stitching a few charts that have been waiting patiently for some attention.

So pleased you finally got moved. It looks absolutely idyllic, I’m very envious. I’ve just finished the iron flame after reading your recommendation of the fourth wing and I’m quite amazed at the symmetry of our book reading authors. I read the lost bookshop early in the summer, and I also read Rachel Abbott and Ken Follet. Looking forward to seeing your house tour when you’re ready xx

[@elliewelliestitcher]

Hi Sherrie, oh yes we definitely have similar taste in books!! 3 more books in the Empyrean series, one a year until 2026 😮 I also love lots of your wips so I think we have some similarities there too!! Hope to meet you at a retreat one of these days, I’ve a feeling there would be not much stitching and a whole lot of gassing 😂😂😂 take care xx

Hi Elaine! I see a new house room! I am so happy that your move was finally completed! Congrats on your BAPH finish! That is a big piece to complete in less than a year, especially with the sale of your home and your move. OMG, what fantastic progress on Cheese Delivery! So very close to a beautiful finish! Wow, less than 2% left, so cool🐭, so excited for you. Welcome to the 60s. Really like the colorway you have chosen for LDS Saga. very pretty. I have never stitched with the Madeira metallics but love their silks, so will looking forward to how you feel about their metallic thread. How cool is it to have pheasants come in to see you! Pheasants are getting so rare here in the U.S. Love your garden area. Everything is so green now there, as it is here in Texas since we finally got some rain. Are you headed into winter there as well? Lost my stitching bug for about 5 days the beginning of the month but it is back now, thankfully. Kept Walter for my first back-to-back overnight, had him from 4 p.m. Monday until 7 p.m. Wednesday while his mom worked the election and recuperated from the long day afterwards. He is growing up way too fast. He continues to amaze me with his understanding of what a lot of words mean and being able to use them correctly in a sentence. He will be 3 in January and is so smart. He loves digging in the dirt out back and will say "have go to work, it's hard work but got to do it", etc. He brings me so much joy. I am so happy that you are enjoying your new home despite all the hard work in moving and commuting back and forth for special events. Take care and happy stitching! Dawn

[@elliewelliestitcher]

Hi Dawn, lovely to hear your news. Glad things are a bit cooler for you now. Sounds like you have been having fun with Walter, I think it’s brilliant when they really get into chatting with you isn’t it. Salad your stitchy bug is back!!! How’s your health now? Hope you are back to full mobility xx take care lovely ❤

[@sunrise49738]

@@elliewelliestitcher Walter really does bring me so much joy that it is so worth the pain that I am in for a couple days later. He still needs to be lifted or boosted some, especially when he wants to wash his hands and soon will begin the lifting on the potty. I will never be back to full mobility due to the arthritis and the fibro but I deal with the daily pain most days without narcotics. I have a doctor's appointment next week and am glad I do since I found a hard mass in my abdomen between the skin and the subcutaneous tissue so need to get that looked at and any possible surgery scheduled to remove it. Have to go in January for a repeat colonoscopy to make sure the masses have not returned as well but I would not be surprised if the largest one has recurred based on symptoms. Have been losing more weight without trying so now am up to around an 80-pound weight loss in the last 3 years without doing anything, which I could definitely stand to lose but it is a bit worrisome as to why. Thank you for asking. I enjoying chatting with you.
