[@stitchingaddicted]

Thank you for watching. So sorry you’re at home due to a medical 🏥 issue. Those pesky medical conditions. Yes those rabbit 🐇 holes 🕳️ are very dangerous. Don’t make it too big. 😂🤣. Have a wonderful week I will see you in the weekend. Hugs 🤗 Tania.

Great to spend some time with you Tania. Your night and day pattern is looking great.

[@stitchingaddicted]

Thank Judy for your kind words. It is so hard to see progress when you’re working on so many projects. 😂🤣. Dave goes you got more patterns, you haven’t finished the ones you have. 😂🤣. I didn’t go buy that pattern I was tempted to buy, as last time Sheena Pike patterns were retired I brought several and then they came back. Not sure that will happen this time. 😅. Have a wonderful week. Enjoy the rest of summer while it lasts. It is already showing signs of Autumn 🍂 here. Cool in the morning. Hugs 🤗 Tania

Hi! I love the pattern you are working on! Those colours are gorgeous!😍 Looks like you bought some great patterns! I love Sheena Pikes designs, it will be sad to see her charts retired. I am debating on one, but i havent made up my mind...i have today left to decide 😁 Yes, the sloth does have a lot of brown but i hope you enjoy stitching it! The end result will be worth it! I am working on the mini! 😊 Thanks so much for the shoutout! 💕 Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!🪡😊

Thank you so much! So pleased I did get the right person I was doubting my memory. I know the cat Chloe one I have been tempted by. But I don’t need it. I have the August dragon already not started. 😂🤣. I have a lifetime of charts in my cupboard kitted ready to start let alone buying new patterns. My stipulation this year was it had to be retiring. I never thought 15 artists would retire at a time. 😂🤣. So yeah that stipulation isn’t working. Can’t wait to see your next video and what you have brought. Hugs 🤗 Tania.

Have to say I do not understand HAED at all, getting all pissy at artists who are licensed to more than just them - like so what? You make money off them, and now you’re kicking them out you won’t make any more LOL it seems a weird way to do business! Enjoyed watching you stitch while I frogged out a huge chunk of my Long Dog - take care, Nic x

[@stitchingaddicted]

I don’t blame them for retiring them. How many patterns do people really buy? What happens if two companies do the same pattern and people start trash talking one company against another company. You can compare Apples with apples if you have the same image. . So I don’t blame them at all. It happens now. With some people on Facebook. I personally think it is disgusting and disrespectful. Especially when you realise they could be competing businesses. I know I’m finding it hard buying any patterns as it is hard to know what is AI art. Thank you for spending your time with me. Dave has decided he spends so much time at the river he should go fishing. 🎣 I explained he would need a license to fish. 🐟 but he goes why I will never catch anything. I can just pretend I’m doing something fun. 😂🤣. Yes he is going to the river tomorrow. Hugs 🤗 Tania.

I agree with you. They are reporting 993 patterns but also keeping some big money makers from the same licensee. Doesn't make sense other then is greed

[@stitchingaddicted]

@@anaussieinakiwiworld9355 wow that is allot of patterns. So only buying 5 I think it was. Was really restrained. 😂🤣. I will have to tell Dave how restrained I really was. Hugs 🤗 Tania.

Have to say, HEAD just shows again that they have terrible custom service and don’t make deals for the artist. They are only thinking about themselves. People doing the 2024 SAL is really affected by this, and they could have kept the artist out the year until the SAL was completed, but instead Michells pride was hurt so she kicked out one specific artist and then later the licensing company. And trying to have monopoly on the artist is really limiting them, so the deal HAED makes limiting them that much is not very thoughtful towards there artist. And if HEAD did always do top quality charting they would not need to have such extreme limitations on the artist. Because if they did top quality charting, people would still buy from them. HEAD is really becoming a worse and worse company. They started out really taking care of customers and artists, and there charting was impeccable. But after the person doing the charting left it all has gone downhill, with a lesser quality in charting. And there customer service is just getting worse and worse, kicking out an artist your doing a SAL with is just bad customer service in my opinion, and show lack of consideration for there customers.

If they had enough confidence in their product there wouldn’t be a problem. Shows she is concerned. I always think if you are offering it for half price that is what it is worth. That is why I normally only buy during sales. We are lucky so many companies to buy from. Paine free crafts don’t have sales just slight discount sometimes. I love there charting. It is amazing. Hugs 🤗 Tania.

[@RitaMariesStitchingAdventure]

@@stitchingaddicted agree, I have totally fallen in love with Paine free crafts. She has such good charting, an amazing quality work in each and everyone of her charts. I also love her, what you see is what you get (the picture you see when buying IS the mockup). It is so nice knowing how it will look when you see it in the store. Plus she has amazing service for her kits, at least international which I am compared to her ❤️🥰 well with HAED retiring so many people, I hope Sarah Paine will get some of the artist, and do her magic with charting, thn my wallet will be empty fast 😂🥰
