Feel better. Rest. Enjoy. Thanks for all the chuckles and great videos in 2023.

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

I've done pretty much nothing but nap all day today so the resting thing is 100% under control! No regrets lol

[@sandrashaw8343]

Glad you are on the mend. I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas and a happy New year. X

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Thank you so much! Happy holidays to you, and watch out for me being back with a vengeance soon enough :D

[@cherylraulston6208]

Sorry to read about your illness and glad you are recovering. Take things slow and easy. Don't want any relapses. Love your videos.😊

[@threecatsdancing]

I found you from your Notion tour video and only had to wait 5 seconds to get your newest video. I'm glad you're getting better. ❤️

[@lorettalowe5096]

Thank you for the update. Take care of yourself and I will be looking for you in 2024.

[@sherryzimmerman9220]

You are Beloved for Your wonderful take on life and the world of CRAFTING…..rest rest rest…..

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

I am now an absolute expert at resting! Maybe I'll record a tutorial sometime 😂Thank you for all of your lovely comments through the year and I hope your festivities are cozy and full of love x

[@sharonstroud8075]

Feel better! You are a breath of fresh air!

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Thank you Sharon ❤️

[@crossed_threads]

Glad you're on the mend and ain't dead. 😂 I'm looking forward to your future content. 😉 Happy Christmas! 🎄 🎁

[@KatieMakesStuff]

I hope you fully recover soon, my friend! Take care!

[@maryannjohnson5410]

I'm so sorry you have been sick, and that I haven't checked in with you. Hope you feel better soon and that you and Dave had a wonderful holiday. Take your time and come back when you are up to it. If you felt up to it a more advanced Notion tutorial would be good. I don't want to buy someone else's template and start over but there are some things I'd like to know how to do. Take care.

[@MichaelcrOtter]

Wishing you a full recovery and lots of stitching next year! We miss you

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Thank you! 🥰 I couldn't even knit at all for over a week, couldn't face cross stitch for closer to three, it's been a nightmare! But, 2024 here we come 💪

[@tammygant4216]

Huzzah!! I had noticed I hadn't seen a video from you in a minute, so thanks for the update. Sorry you're not feeling well, I look forward to your new stuff and will go back and re-watch some old stuff to tide me over. Merry Christmas!

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Sorry for worrying you! Took a while before I was able to record even something as short as this, I have been extremely weak and pathetic lol. Back to my sarcastic self now though as you can clearly see. Merry Christmas and I'll see you in the New Year!

[@FrankDudgeon]

So kind of you to give us a cheerful update despite the Covid aftereffects. I hope you feel much better after some well deserved rest and hopefully a happy holiday. All the best for a much gooder 2024.

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Thanks, it took a while before I could actually say whole sentences without coughing and was able to record, but we got there in the end 😅 Hear hear, roll on 2024! Have a great one!

[@Jasmine-ur1sl]

Glad to hear you are on the mend. I had "you know what" last July, and can can appreciate what you are experiencing. Give it time, and do gets lots of rest, sleep and push fluids. Sounds simple enough, but many of us do not do it in our hurry to get up at em. Have a fantastic holiday season. I look forward to your 2024 plans and tutorials.

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

It really is awful, I didn't realise it was common to take so long to recover until it happened and people started telling me their own horrible stories 😩 But I'm definitely getting there now, and it's been the perfect excuse for absolutely minimal social obligations over the holidays so that's a bonus! Have a great one and I will be back soon! 🥰

[@maryboardman3886]

Get well soon! I just found your you tube page. Love everything about it...its so me! The suspense for your web app teaser has me anxious😂 I have a feeling it will be just what I have been looking for. 🎉No pressure, but hurry back!

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Thank you! I've had a lot of time to rest up (very lucky to be in that position!) and am feeling TONS better. Still not 100%, but close enough for now. Of course now you've put pressure on the app thing and freaked me out lol, but you never know, maybe it is indeed fate :D

[@Loyal-cat]

Great job taking care of yourself ❤. Happy holidays 🎉

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Thank you, I figure it's better to just take the time and get back to 100% than try to force it and end up limping into the new year. Happy holidays right back atcha, I hope it's a wonderful one!

[@pattym5549]

Merry Christmas!🎅

[@Ariel_ButNotTheMermaid]

❤🎉❤ hello!!! I am glad you are doing better!

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Thank you 🥰 It was definitely rougher than I expected but the breathing is getting a lot better now. All's well that ends well!

[@pollywells3603]

I've only just logged on……been downloading Markup R-XP and.…it hurts ma brain to learn new stuff! Glad you are over the worst, chill, watch a million harry potter movies/ die hard/ its a wonderful life.……whatever makes you relax. Wishing you a happy healthy, busy, 2024.

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Die Hard last night, It's A Wonderful Life a few nights prior, we are way ahead of you haha 😆I've still not tried that app myself but really should get round to it, maybe some kind of comparison of different markup apps would make for a good video.... 🤔(Ack no, bad me, no thinking about this until the new year!) Happy holidays and see you soon!

[@AModNamedMel]

I hope youll feel better soon! I found your channel in between your uploads and something about them is just so magical! Your craftlog videos have served as excellent companions as I've sorted through my craft supplies and finally organized them.

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Very happy to be either an inspiration or a bad influence, depending how you look at it 😄 This whole thing was kind of terrible timing since I had fun plans for Christmas videos...but I guess that's next December already planned out instead!

[@AModNamedMel]

@@TheGiddyStitcher very much an inspiration, the craft supplies needed a good rearranging and cleaning ^^' Its never too early to have some plans ready for christmas, after all...

[@vangiebrake2295]

Hi. Hope you are feeling better soon, you appear to be definitely on the road to repair as they say. I just found your channel today, nice Christmas present eh!, and I am interested in cross stitch videos that show, suggest, teach how to finish those little works of art. How do you get those chenille baubles to stay on and look perfect? Really enjoyed your video on the different cloths and counts. Feel better and Happy New Year from Canada.

[@blueheartcrochet14]

Take care of yourself. Covid really seems to linger on even when you're no longer positive so look after yourself. I caught it in October caring for my dad who had (that's what I get for being a doting daughter) and I still get the headaches now.

[@roseboss5899]

Feel better soon. Hubby and I here Down-Under 🇦🇺 both have it for the first time. It’s yuck! I’m trying to start my first cross stitch (ever) but no energy 🥴

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Oh no, what terrible timing. I hope it's mild for both of you and you can still enjoy some festivities at least. Seriously though when people advise you to rest, it really is the best advice. You could chart the severity of my symptoms and the amount of sleep I'd had that day and they would line up perfectly. Rest rest rest! I was the same too, couldn't do any crafts at all for over a week and even know it's just bits here and there. When we're off our crafting you know it's serious 😭

[@kathydeel4780]

Happy Holidays from Ohio! 🎉🥂❤🎉🥂❤

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Right back at you from Teesside! :D

[@tonid3196]

Please concentrate on getting fully recovered 😊

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Replying to this while wrapped up in my electric blanket, in pyjamas, clutching a mug of hot tea and looking forward to a day of food and coziness. So I'm way ahead of you! 😆Thank you, and happy holidays x

[@mattsadventureswithart5764]

I've been enjoying your videos as they got suggested to me, but seeing this title has made me like you so much more, Esme.

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Haha yay, always happy to meet another fan in the wild :D

[@gillmae5223]

Hope you feel much better soon. Take care.

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Thank you, and happy holidays! 🥰

[@traceyrothwell5686]

hope you are better soon xx

[@Frogglin]

Enjoy the season, and feet up. Take care!

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Excellent advice for everyone, imo! Thank you, hope you have a great one too :)

[@JayShurey]

Good to know you're not dead. The world would be shite without you in it!

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Appreciate that Jay, and right back at you :D

[@agnesorourke]

Just give yourself time to recover fully! We'll all be watching out for your return. Hope you and Dave have a great first Christmas as Mr and Mrs. Yeah, corny, sorry 😉 Very best wishes from Ireland 💚

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Corny, but appreciated! Still to this day we keep randomly looking over at each other and saying something like "isn't it weird that we're actually married?!" 😂 So it might take a while for the novelty to wear off, I think. Man, what a rollercoaster of a year... Merry Christmas and may Santa bring you everything you wish for!

[@bookfairy62]

So happy you ain’t dead. 😊 sorry to hear you haven’t been well. Get lots of rest and try to enjoy the holidays. Do worry about us and making content, those that love you will still be around when you ain’t so sick. 😉

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Ah thank you, I am now honestly a professional in the field of getting rest. Some days I was only awake for a few hours and I'm still napping a lot even now, which isn't like me at all! And absolutely, no sense worrying about this stuff over Christmas. There's more important things in life to focus on right now, and it'll let me go into 2024 at full energy which will make a nice change! Happy holidays, hope you have a brilliant one!

[@aerendyll]

I hope you feel better soon!

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Thank you! I am definitely nearly there now, just took a lot longer than expected to get to this point. Still if there's ever an excuse to lounge around resting in pyjamas it's the Christmas holidays, right? :)

[@bookwormbon482]

Get well soon!

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Thank you, Merry Christmas, and roll on 2024! 😅

[@thevioletstitcher1985]

get some rest, don't worry about us.
