Love it future life goals I want a craft attics. Really lovely stitching just one tiny request hold it up just a bit longer so we can appreciate your beautiful work.

[@suepasno4436]

I think you are doing great and seem very natural in front of the camera. I love all the tips! Thanks for the video.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@crishall9045]

You are one fortunate woman to have all that space to create in and just leave out. Thanks for the tour!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

So true! I know! Wish I could spend a whole day but LIFE!

[@leannemcintyre7908]

OMG can I come and play in your craft room. What an amazing fun space. Love your videos. Your stitching is gorgeous. You have inspired me to make some bookmarks. Looking forward to the next one. Would you consider doing a stitch with me, either live or recorded?

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Are you in Maine too?

[@leannemcintyre7908]

No sadly. I live in New Zealand. We don't have much in the way of cross stitch shops here and most things I have to get from other countries. It is very costly and long waits. But I do have quite a lot so is good.

[@judyfitzpatrick6827]

OMG, you have more in your craft room than my Michaels store has in inventory !!!! I'm green with envy and would love a room that size mine is very small but I'm still so grateful for it. I love your videos, thank you for you time.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

LOST CLIP ON HOW I STORE THE FOAMBOARD WILL BE ADDED TO NEXT VIDEO 😢

[@chriswashburn9039]

What wonderful information you have to share! Can’t tell you how much I enjoy your videos. Keep them coming!!!

[@elenabowes3648]

Very nice room…. What a pleasure to spent time in a favourite space . Thank you for video.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Drop in and hang out again 😊

[@cookiestitch]

Thank you for sharing your “happy place”! I now have some lovely, practical storage ideas to try….and that galloping that you hear is me running off to buy the chart clip! Love, love, love your videos…. 💗😀

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Wonderful! Thanks for watching!❤

[@sharenbrewer9611]

Loved your video today; thanks for touring your room ! So many projects and choices ! Love the tips too. I use a q snap and am getting the chart holder cause my eyes are always darting back and forth. The tips on framing were helpful ! I love your soothing and sometimes comical personality - keep them coming !

[@karenmoseley9337]

Can you please adopt me so that I can live in your craft room? I would take up just a bit of space under the eaves and I will even bring my own pillow. I'm small so I won't take up much space. I'm 72 years old, so I can make this decision myself. Ha, Ha! Your space (s) are amazing and I particularly like when you share some of the organization ideas and tools that you find useful. You have a really good presence on camera, so keep up the good work!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you! I don’t think there’s space in the eaves but if you bring a hammock there’s space from the ceiling still😂

[@nanstanton4085]

Hi Sarah, just love your videos! Keep them coming. Thanks for sharing your time and talents.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@jodydennison4193]

I'm so glad I found your channel, I've learned a lot of new interesting tid bits from you already, your craft room is so nice and the lighthouse piece you showed is perfect, I would have never guessed it wasn't professionally framed, your framing is perfect! Have a wonderful day 😊

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you!❤️

[@denisebaker4958]

Thank you for sharing your craft room! It is so amazing! I love your videos. Keep filming as ideas come up and show your progress on some of the new projects that you start. There are loads of information in these videos that stitchers need to know. Thank you!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you! Will do! Had to take a few days off to nurse a family member but I’ll be back on soooooooon❤

[@susanbailey6757]

Hi! Your flosstube "popped up" while I was finishing up watching The Proper Stitcher - Northwoods caught my eye - I have just finished watching all 5 of your videos - I have taken two pages of notes - you are a wealth of information - looking forward to your next flosstube

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Two pages! Post its?😂Kidding aside, so glad you hung out with me. Thanks for watching. Episode 6 is up now ❤

[@lindaschmidt6320]

Love the floss..✂️🪡🧵

[@stitchylifeintexas6623]

Great floss tube! I LOVE your beautiful craft room😍

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you! 😊

[@beecee6360]

Another wonderful visit! Love your crafting space. I laughed out loud when you said about being "banished" to your space - what a wonderful place to be "banished" to! I haven't used Sulky for stitching but I like the idea of one strand. Love your fabric and floss storage. Looking forward to the next "visit".

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Oh thank you! Thanks for watching 😊

[@kathiep.7734]

Well, I watched all five of your floss tubes on the TV and I kept thinking I need to comment and now I just rewatched them all on my other TV. How's that for being intelligent? Anyway, love all of your floss tubes. If I watch it again I guess I'll have them memorized. Love all your suggestions. I have already bought the light for around my neck and the little plastic holder to hold my chart. Love all your suggestions. Love the tour. Love your personality. So now I'm on my phone watching you again so I can comment! Whenever I hear how you talk, I'm thinking man we must be related😮

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Sistah❤😅I’ll be making more soon had to take a few days to play nurse. I’m fine with that since it involves stitching and stress eating 😂. Thanks for watching!

[@sharons1198]

Thank you for identifying the charts for the gingham fabric. I always learn helpful information from you. Thanks.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Your very welcome 🤗

[@Griffinand3]

What a lucky lady you are to have such a space! I would love just a room! Mine stuff is everywhere! Great video!

[@joycetaunton4684]

Love your videos!!!! Your shirt is awesome. Dragonflies are my all time favorite!!!

[@nenitabutcher5518]

Hi there love your videos. So many great ideas. I love that clip or chart holder. I struggle keeping chart visible. So this is a great idea. Thank you. Your craft room is a place of creativity. I have a small craft room but I love it. It’s my happy place. If anyone can create a space for themselves it is the best. I have my comfy chair and my tv up on the wall. I can go down there and get lost in it. My husband is missing me, lol.

[@susansaunders397]

Fabulous craft room to let the creative juices flow! Thanks for all of the helpful hints you are tossing our way! Can’t wait for your next video!! Happy Stitching 💗🪡🧵🐇🌷

[@pattyaltier7234]

Love your laidback style. Your craft room is fabulous. Today I have watched your videos number 1 thru 5 and I be watching number 6 shortly.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@dawnbarney2659]

Really enjoyed your bookmarks. You have so many crafty things to keep you busy. I had to move to a very small three room apartment and had to give up so much of my craft stuff. Very hard to do. Really miss my big space and all I gave up. Glad I found your channel. Have a good week.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

You too! Thanks for watching ❤

[@karenrowell2180]

[@katgriffin52]

I am in awe of your space and your floss stash!! The stash is a goal for sure!! I can't get the sulky thread from my local Wal-Mart, but I now see why a lot of people are using them. Another fantastic video!!!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@Njstitcher]

Hi, Sarah, what a wonderful space you have to craft in. Don’t worry about everything being neat and tidy; creativity thrives on controlled chaos. Great ideas and suggestions. Looking forward to your next video!

You are blessed! My sewing room is 9x9 I think. I have a long arm and that is in another room that’s only slightly bigger. Stamps are great for drawings also. My daughter runs an art studio and they use stamps for textures.

[@kathyadams5294]

The video is great and I enjoyed seeing your set-up. I was a stitcher, then a big paper crafter, and came back to stitching in 2020. I need to let some things go in my craft room, but it's hard, and as soon as I get rid of something, I'm looking for it two weeks later. The struggle to corral all this is real.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Ayup! Sistah!😅❤

Great video. And WOWZA…you’re floss stash is about the same as my fabric stash from working at a local quilt shop for 13 years and NEVER bringing home a paycheck…no lie. And my fabric stash has its own big walk around sized closet…It’s a sickness with no cure🤷🏼‍♀️🫣😂

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

[@arleenwild6247]

Amazing xx

[@delnorajanecek3751]

Love to see all the things in your craft room. What a great space!

[@sunrise49738]

What a crafting oasis you have! What have you found is the best way to cut foam board? An rotary cutter with a duller, used blade or a new blade that is set aside special for paper? Scissors or a box cutter? Seems like everything I have tried crushes the edges of the foam board or is that simply my technique? Your Hello Winter is gorgeous! Your stamp collection is awesome. I have often thought about making my own cards but in the apartment we are in, there is very limited storage and with having stuff for my 2-year-old grandson and my cross stitch and sewing supplies, really don't have extra space or funds. I do love the uniqueness of handmade cards and with the price of greeting cards, it is more and more tempting to start off with a couple generic stamps and then perhaps type and print out the sentiment inside as a way to save some money to get started. I am so happy that I came across your floss tube. You are always so entertaining and a wealth of information and knowledge. Happy crafting!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

I use an exacto cutter and only for mat-board and foam board. The cleaner the blade the smoother the cut. I also use a metal edged ruler when cutting. Some days are good, others not so much 😅I love my stamps! I’ve been collecting since my grandparents bought me my first one at the age of maybe 11? If you’re budget is tight pick up holiday things after the holidays to make a few cards and keep them in a binder for the following year. I often use paper doilies and even foam hearts from a kids craft section to do quick and fun Valentines 💘 it’s homemade and heartfelt. Thanks so much for watching! Craft on!

[@shanebrookcottage]

I’m sew glad I found your channel. Great content 💕🧵

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Yay! Thank you!

[@LadybirdsAndBees]

Your room is a crafter’s dream! I’m awed by all your goodies. If you’ve never been a stitchy teacher, I’d encourage you to do so: I love your explanations of everything, which are so encouraging and non-pedantic. Can you adopt me or at least , can we be besties? 😂 I’m totally willing to relocate to the Northeast from northern California. I much prefer colder weather anyway. 😊

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Ha! Would be nice to have a stitchy sistah next door! We do get stupid negative cold numbers…just a warning. I’m in shorts and flip flops in the 40s.😜So many beautiful things to play with and not enough arms or time in the day🫤

[@j.a.devanney7523]

Really enjoy your channel, keep up the good work! Love the tour of your craftopia. My area lacks organization but I seem to know which pile I need to go to for something in particular 😊. The creative flow looks more like a path of destruction following a tornado. If you want to see a jaw dropping studio, go back to the Antique Stitchers, Liz and Shelly. Look for the tour of Shelly’s mill studio. They are near Cincinnati. Again, jaw dropping and a cathedral of crafting we all dream about.

You have a lovely happy place. The largest floss collection out there. When did you start stitching and investing in floss?

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

I started stitching when I was in my teens. DMC was $0.25 back then or less😮

[@marylynnlucas3918]

@@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher I remember my mom paying $0.10 when I was in my teens. I am knocking on sixty and the lowest I paid the past few years is $0.79. This year marks my 37th year cross stitching. I also quilt and just learned to crochet. Love having a needle and thread in my hand.

[@sadieladydubois2763]

Amazing crafting space!! I tried Sulky thread once, I used it on a JBW in the round design, red Sulky on white fabric and the red color seemed to rub off on the fabric some. I don't know if I had a faulty spool or what... Have you ever had that to happen with Sulky?? I love your DMC cabinet!!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

I haven’t been using Sulky for very long but have noticed that it’s happened to me when using a fabric that isn’t treated a certain way maybe? I often discard the kit fabrics for something from my own stash. Kit fabric I keep for carding or quick ornaments. Had an apple design bleed it’s red once and it was the kit fabric😔fortunately it just looked like a cool shadow effect. Thanks for watching!

[@nicolec2523]

Can I shop in your craft room? Great video.

[@jenniferblubaugh]

Do the sulky threads have a sheen to them similar to silks?

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

No, it’s much like DMC

[@reneemeyers2503]

I enjoyed your video very much! I love showing my husband bc he thinks I have a lot of crafty things and well I show him what others have!😂 What did you back your bookmarks with? Was it just an interfacing?

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

I use felt, sometimes fabric and sometimes I don't cover the back with anything but more aida or linen.

[@lynnsteiner1580]

WOW, Unbelievable!

[@alicepark2051]

In viewing your video today, you mentioned that you had weeks dye work floss. Would you have Woodrose,and used brick? Is so, would you be so kind to take a picture of them? I can not find these flosses, nor a conversation chart, to see the colors to guests are the colors to DMC! Thanks you so much! I was gifted at Christmas the chart-winter Rose Manor, but cannot find the above two flosses.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Used brick is a Classic Colorworks thread did you mean that one? That would be a DMC 356. Gentle Arts threads makes Woodrose and that is a DMC 3772. Both are available on the site 123stitch
