I always get excited when I see you have another video Sheila. All of your projects are beautifully stitched. I feel that everything you say is insightful and fun!! I am 73 yrs old and I could definitely relate to your comments on aging. It can be an adjustment. It would be so fun to see you every 2 weeks if that works for you. I love your earrings!! Happy Stitching!!!

I've always been a homebody. Even as a kid my nickname from one of the neighbor boys was Housecat. Don't be concerned about aging. You are beautiful. It's more important to have a beautiful heart and you do! Blessings to you!

[@melissaearly7302]

I drive past the Crow River Winery all the time when driving to my parents’ house. I always love hearing references to things I see in my life. Love all your projects! Very nice progress!

[@helenb4877]

This is the first time I’ve found you and I loved your video. You are fun to listen to and I am amazed that you’ve only been stitching a little over a year! I’m also amazed at how much you’ve stitched. Incredible! I will be back next time. ❤😊

[@joanneseeger5271]

Such fun things you are working on! I would love to be able to stay home more! Winter in MN to stay in and stitch, quilt and create is a treat!!

[@BrighamHouseStitcher]

The Peter Rabbit alphabet is so darling! Love it! ❤

[@NicoleNorthgardenStitches]

I like your tangents :) I’m in Minnesota too, west side of the cities. I’m 48 and have really noticed aging signs this year, but I agree with you, it’s a privilege to age!

[@lorettalowe5096]

Great video. Wow! you were one busy lady in 2024. I never thought to do a self challenge, like your 25 things. I think I will combine designers and new things and give it a try for a total of 25 in 2025. Good luck with your goals.

[@marilynferlitsch2003]

You have some gorgeous, large projects going. Love the Barbara Ana design. Happy New Year! Marilyn

[@lindaskinner5887]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful stitching ❤. Happy stitching.

I have a friend in Iowa who treats herself to an ink advent calendar every year. Love your little Winter pieces!

[@JillybeanL66]

Your big samplers are looking amazing. Keep on stitching

[@MsKarenMR]

Happy Stitching and Have a Wonderful Stitching Week ahead 😊🪡🪡🪡

[@lisaboban]

That crow piece is stunning! I love your "homebrew" fabric color...I would buy that! As usual, your stitching is inspiring!

[@TheCrowRiverStitcher]

Thank you! 🧵🪡

[@CandaceAlps]

Wow you have been busy. Fabulous bags and stitching

[@AnnaMartinez-yt5tm]

Love your videos on your nails try putting a clear coat first then your nail polish red usually helps not to get that stain you do awesome cross stitching in bags

[@jenniferblubaugh]

I agree….don’t like going anywhere. To get to the fun things, I need long stretches of time at home. Going to the grocery store is directly proportional to the amount of toilet paper in the house! 🙄

[@TheCrowRiverStitcher]

@@jenniferblubaugh 😂 I feel ya! I think if I could get groceries delivered out in the boonies I’d never leave🫣

[@stampincass]

It's so exciting to hear your name called! I'm thrilled that I won one of your amazing bags!! I can't wait to see how your love pillow turns out...could you switch the W animal with your V easily?

[@ChristyHunter]

Your 25 plans are interesting. I'm just trying to reduce my 14 WIP to less than 10 so I really didn't set any goals for 2025. I was teaching myself calligraphy during the lock down. It was challenging but it was cool figuring out how nobs work and writing letters. After I started cross stitch I lost interest in it, but it was fun trying. I found a book my mom had with calligraphy by Timothy Botts. He does beautiful work and posts occasionally on Instagram. Very inspirational. Enjoyed your video and I love it when you just get off on a tangent. It makes things so interesting.

[@NinaHeckerthorne]

Sheila your stitching is so beautiful. Glad I was on youtube right when your video posted so i was able to grab a project bag. Looking forward to see what you stitch this year.

[@TheCrowRiverStitcher]

Thank you so much for supporting my little business🧵🪡🥰

[@tamimorgan1487]

Beautiful stitching! I love all your colors! Happy stitching!

[@TheCrowRiverStitcher]

@@tamimorgan1487 thank you 🪡🧵

[@karenword9823]

So excited. You had one bag left and I got it. They went fast. I have been checking first thing every morning. I had two pet ducks when I was little and they followed me everywhere. Yacky and wacky. I only allow myself 10 wips. I am thinking of making that 12 this year. I think I am at 8 right now. Last year I got it down to two. Oh the idea of different designers. That is awesome. Those stickers are too cute. I am a 20 count stitcher. Sometimes 18. I get my fabric from Mystic Fabrics. She now has a foot shop. And is only 20 minutes from me. Indiana

[@TheCrowRiverStitcher]

@@karenword9823 so lucky you live so close! I guess it could also be a little dangerous to the wallet😂 so happy you snagged a bag, thank you 🥰I’ll have to check her adia out!🪡

[@phyllisbrandon6636]

You look wonderful and love your tangents. Xo

[@colleenisaac6647]

What a beautiful intro!

[@dianapratt9708]

I started the sal on the 4th. Im really enjoying it. On the first page of the top border there are 6 upside down “U”s in a section also. Is this a mistake too? Thank you for sharing for sharing your talent!

[@TheCrowRiverStitcher]

@@dianapratt9708 that one looks correct I’m thinking because it starts out with 3 then 6 and then the repeat is just five all the way across to the end that the reason for 6 in the beginning is because of the 3 start?

[@kathyl4692]

Sheila, I really wish we could be neighbors 🙂 I have quite the fountain pen and ink stash along with Tomoe River journals. My two favorite everyday are Kaweco and TWSBI Ecos. Beautiful stitching and looking forward to see your 2025 projects

[@margaretkinney186]

Sheila I went to your Etsy and there wasn't any bags left, please let me know when you are going to have some more😂

[@carlamcentire1850]

Are you going to have anymore small project bags ? They are already sold

[@marshabranch5704]

Please please allow me to join the sal. I am not on instagram just face book. So let me know what to do to join

[@LindaSlatten]

Etsy has some great goth frames

[@TheCrowRiverStitcher]

Thank you I’ll have to look there!❤️

[@KayeTaylorE]

How many WIPS did you have going into 2024? That might be why your counts don't add up.

[@TheCrowRiverStitcher]

I think just 2? I’ll be keeping better track this year for sure! I always think oh I’ll remember I don’t need to write it down….yeah how’s that working for me?😂😂

[@MarB3942]

I think the small should be little bigger. It looks tight to hold everthing.

[@TheCrowRiverStitcher]

It will be interesting to see how it works. I tested it with a 6” hoop, a dozen floss on a ring, a big chunk of fabric, with half chart and it fit. I’m totally open to feedback and can make any custom size.
