Hello my sweet friend!!! It was lovely catching up with you today!!!! Your chatelaine is looking so amazing!!!!! I seriously can’t get over how gorgeous it is! Happy stitching and hugs to you!

[@joanneuhlman4249]

Hi Rika, love your videos! My life long wish, even as a child has been for world peace. i remember hearing as a youngster and now as an adult and worrying about different world crisis that have happened and always my greatest wish is for peace. Following you on Intagram as well! Keep up the great work, you are a wonderful inspiration especially during these difficult times.

[@carolreid9755]

Thank you for your update , it was lovely seeing all your new kits that you have managed to hunt down. When I was little I wanted to be a nurse, I also loved to dance, so I went to ballet class and Tap class , but I wished so hard to be a nurse . I then trained and became a nurse, then more training became a Midwife here in the UK, then decided to teach as I loved teaching students. I now teach student midwives in a University. I am so lucky I am doing what I always wanted to do and love and I stitch in my down time. Stay safe and well in beautiful Germany.

[@jacquelineboyd1269]

I always wished for a sewing machine. I actually have 3 now. Thanks for the video. Enjoyed. I'm glad I found you

[@sherrydvk2013]

Loved your video. When I was 8 yrs old I wanted a bike and I got one for Christmas that year. Hope you enjoy Germany. I spent 3 years there many years ago. We loved our stay there and would love to go there again.

[@Lindseyzackman]

We had a miniature long haired dachshund when I was a little girl and I always wanted another one when I grew up. I have four now and love them dearly❤️

[@Roberta.SABLEStitchers]

Beautiful stitching and enjoyed seeing your plans and purchases. Had not heard if Christmas Cove but looking forward to seeing it in progress.

[@susanhaneline6428]

Thank you for your service!! We are a huge military family. I have wished for ages for a Cavalier King Charles puppy, hopefully he will be born this week!! Soooo excited! I would love to participate in the Serendipity stitch along, it’s so pretty!

[@phyllislundy8803]

Your Chatelaine is looking gorgeous! I love the colors! I wanted a bicycle so bad when I was a child and my wish came true one Christmas. I rode that bicycle everywhere, which probably wouldn't be a good idea these days. I think neighborhoods were a lot safer back then, so many years ago! I follow you on instagram and always look forward to your videos and seeing all the lovely Dimension kits you acquire.

[@JennyFleming]

RIKA YOUR CHATELAINE IS STUNNING!! When I was a teenager I wished for all the clothes from J. Crew. I was obsessed! And when I turned 16 my Mom surprised me with tons of J. Crew and I still remember how happy I was to this day.

[@sprinklesteen_stitches61]

Rika, I haven’t even started any of my Dimensions kits, but when I watch you, I want them ALL!!!! Love watching you!! ❤️

[@brendadagel]

Hi! Fellow military spouse right now in Kaiserslautern! It’s great to “meet” you.

[@laurabowser9602]

Hi Rika!!! I always enjoy seeing what you are up to! Your projects and plans are so inspiring!! Have a wonderful day!!!

[@iplawparalegalpdx]

Hi Rika! Half of my dream has come true. I have been to Roland Garros and The US Open. My goal now is Wimbledon and the Australian Open. I can't wait to start planning my next vacation. 😁 I am really looking forward the #serendipity pattern from FQS! Thanks for another great flosstube. I am always inspired to stitch after. -stephanie

[@reginadanner3536]

When I was a child I wished for a bicycle. I still remember waking up on Christmas morning and finding the bike by the tree.! It was magical!

[@houseofstitchandstash]

Hi Regina! Yes! Bicycles were a must in my neighborhood growing up! You know where everyone is by the amount of bikes in front of the house! I sure miss the days when we can feel safe and free riding around the place!

[@cathycoughenour3849]

When I was young I always wanted to have horses and lucky me had several and enjoyed trail rides and showing them at the fair!

[@grindllea]

I always wished I could be a stay at home mom..didn’t happen but I have been blessed by getting to retire early and I get to watch my grandkids everyday 💙💗. I follow you on Instagram also 🤗.

Great video love watching your videos. Have a wonderful day and happy stitching 🧵 😊💗🤗

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Wow! What a grand supply of kits and patterns!! Just beautiful!! I wish there were more hours in the day and more lifespans!! When I was a kid, I wanted a blue with a headlight. I received one on my 8th birthday. I don’t remember ever riding it at night. Go figure!!!

[@phillipscrossstitchtherapy4068]

When I was a child i wished for my first cross stitch project and i totally got it! My aunt got me Angel of Mercy from Lavender and Lace. I believe she got me some kind of Zweigart linen. I know it was 28 count.... And it all hit off from there and i kept going with it! Now years later I am an extreme impulse buyer it seems....haha

[@shaunatrueblood3119]

When I was a kid I wished for a camera and I got one for Christmas. I have had several since because I love taking pictures.

[@stitchingsunshinerae]

Hello friend!!!!!!! I loved all your plans. Your Chatelaine is gorgeous. As I child. wished for this little snail toy. You could lock all your treasures in its shell and carry the key with you. I never got it, but I still think about it.

[@marygorden2334]

Congrats on your progress on that fabulous Chatelaine. 🥰 All of those light and bright pinks will be super cute in your stitchy and sewing spaces! 💓💞💖

[@melodyshinokis9191]

As a child I too wished I had a pony. Years later I did get my own horse and one for my daughter. It was wonderful!

[@houseofstitchandstash]

What a wonderful wish and I am so glad that you were able to get a pony! Love seeing everyone's dreams of having a horse! ❤️

[@juliejordan124]

Brand new subscriber. Found you via Brother Luminaire instagram and saw you had a flosstube. You have such beautiful stitching. When I was young I wished I had a home on a quiet beach. Don't have it yet but have stayed frequently on some beautiful quiet beaches. I have also subscribed to your Instagram. Looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful stitching.

[@alexandria6871]

I didnt had any wishes as a child, i was raised in a little village near the beach in the Netherlands. Had lovely people people around me and a lot friends. Life was nice and good. What i would wish now is to go back for a day in the past when i was a child or puber, enjoying that feeling again. To see my mother again, and hug her again! (my mother passed away in 2007).

[@houseofstitchandstash]

This is a great wish Alexandria! Sometimes we take for granted just how little time we have with the people we love! Thank you for sharing! and your little beach village sounds like a dream!

[@berniimiller5754]

Disney is such a magical place! Epcot is my favorite! When we have grandkids we will definitely take them to Disney! Thanks for sharing Stephanie!

[@cubonecancraft]

I grew up on a farm and always wanted a horse. We raised cattle so my parents always said no. So I joined 4-H Beef and trained the cows instead. You always pick such pretty projects. Looks like 2021 will be busy for you.

[@houseofstitchandstash]

Angela! wow!!! cows! I love how everyone seems to want a horse! I enjoyed reading your comment!

[@natita280]

I had this dream with my sisters when we were younger to get a huge house big enough to fit all of our families so we could all live together. I don't know about doing that now as an adult though lol I love seeing your progress on your chatelaine! The pictures you show on Instagram look so pretty with all of the specialty stitches. ❤

Like most little girls, I desperately wished I could have a horse. The closest I got was horse back riding lessons for a bit and hanging out with the horses at the county fair.

[@houseofstitchandstash]

Ive so enjoyed reading everyone's comments and for sure saw lots of horses comments! I love it! Horse back riding is also great! I went on a horse back riding before we left Oklahoma and boy was my toosh sore for days! I had bruises in places I didnt think will exist!!!! 😂

[@rhondawise1897]

As a child I wished that I had a older sister to hang out with and more braver

I really love watching your flosstubues but the amount of ads is crazy. I know sometimes you all are not aware when this happens. They placed ads about every 2 to 4 minutes through your video. On a positive note I love your Marie Antoinette. It is amazing.
