[@barbiejobonnett7473]

It makes me sew happy to watch the Christmas flosstubes. Sew enabling!

[@martharobbins5189]

Nothing wrong with a good nap! I do sew along with various other crafts.

[@tanjagross9198]

I love to savor my Advent calendar. Poor Odin, you feel so bad when they get all anxious like that. Your Santa collection is just the cutest. Sew

[@phapy2451]

I open advent boxes, one day at a time. That is the fun of it! I am stitching vintage 5, Nutcrackers by Crocette a gogo, and sewing some quilted Christmas stockings. I love to sew! I too, have a curio cabinet and I have Hummels, and some of them are Christmas and I leave them up all year, and on the bottom, is where I keep my German Pyramid, it is easier then trying to box it up each year. Have a good day!

[@MichelleNorton-h5y]

Thank you Nichol it was wonderful seeing your gorgeous Christmas decorations and your beautiful home ❤

[@connieeneix3891]

I don’t have any advent calendars. I used to have a paper crafting one, but I’m in the open it each day camp. I like the surprise each day. Currently stitching a blooming roots monthly stitch from stitching with the housewives and a cookies and cocoa freebie stitch from primrose cottage. I have lots of those faux candles. They are the best. My favorite ones are from luminaire but they are spendy. Thanks again for sharing your day! Love seeing the boys too. 😊

[@301pj]

I love to sew and cross stitch. I also love watching your Vlogmas. Thank you.

[@Stitchy_Hazel]

I’m enjoying this series. So fun to see what you get up to! My mom used to get me an advent calendar every year, they are so much fun. I have three this year a cross stitch one from Caterpillar Cross Stitch, a regular chocolate one, and an ice cream advent. I always savor them. I want until after work to open my cross stitch one.

[@estherpowell2372]

It is SEW amazing how much I enjoy my evening YT time! Inspiration galore from your crafty home.

[@cathycosier7870]

It has been so much fun watching your Vlogmas videos! Your home is beautiful and I can tell how much you enjoy it. I’m going to miss this when it ends!

Love, love, love your daily vlogmas! I am sew excited to watch you everyday.

[@cindyrinehart3486]

Love seeing your beautiful home with all of your displays!! Love the no flame candles and the fact you can use a remote with them!! ❤️ I may have to try that idea!!

[@Kimmcdougalcrafter]

Enjoyed looking at your decorations Nichol, so pretty! I also switched this year to all LED candles with the remote controls and I LOVE THEM too! I also understand Oden because I developed PTSD a few years back and noises like that scare me too. So glad, he calmed down in Mommy's arms, so sweet! I hope you'll do Vlogmas every year now as a tradition! God bless you!

[@karensanders8061]

I live alone its just me and my elderly doggie, so watching your videos really make me feel happy and included. I love your home its so cozy and very pretty with all your decor. xxxx

[@MaureenEChandler]

I love seeing a new Vlogmas every day - so much fun! For some reason, I'm always getting them a day behind but I do enjoy seeing you and what you are making and doing. Your home is beautifully decorated and of course, your stitching is lovely. I was working on pumpkins till I put it aside to do some crocheting, knitting, and sewing for Christmas. Looking forward to tomorrow!! SEW

[@stampeede88]

Thank you for sharing your home and stitching with us! Look forward to seeing the vlogmas!

[@marcyfarrell5369]

Our dog Marshall a Shih-Poo is the same with the noises. I love that your dogs match your decor. I’ve used battery operated candles for years and I’ve never looked back.

[@sharonjones6873]

Hi Nichol. I open an advent as soon as I get it. I can’t wait. I love to sew and quilt. Merry Christmas

[@tamicline3801]

We live in a life of instant gratification. I think it's great to have a daily surprise! I'm working on Mistletoe Manor Sampler that I am LOVING. It's so pretty

[@caroltown3162]

Your dogs are adorable! So much fun watching!

[@Usdukes]

I am enjoying your VLOGMAS and your Christmas home tour. It’s all so beautiful! I am stitching my Teresa Kogut Frosty garland which is so much fun! Slow down a bit and enjoy your lovely home all decorated for Christmas as it comes and goes quickly!

[@Shannamakesit]

Naps are good and I’m sure the dogs was happy!

[@cindyrichards6019]

Love love love your little Owl ornament. In the past, I have opened the advent box one day at a time. This year I purchased Tiger Lily's box and could not wait. I just want to stitch and sew everything. ❤

[@jforster95]

My rule following brain stressed just thinking about opening them all at once! Savoring for sure :) Good job sticking with the gingerbread house project - the Blue Flower jingle ball project was a lot of stitching too! It will be SEW worth it!

[@tammygarrett9184]

Thank you Nichol for another fun video, I love your babies Frank and Odin. they are sew cute!!!

[@presbymom]

Your felt ornaments are sew sweet! Your home is beautiful!

[@crosstitcher2]

I savor each day…I am stitching the PrimRose Cottage Christmas Quaker pattern. I am SEW excited for all your videos each day.

[@carolynsmith7523]

Your boys are SEW lucky to have you!!!

[@jenniferjanson5933]

Love , love , love your daily VLOGMAS... I look forward to seeing it every day!! I do enjoy to SEW... have a wonderful night!! ❤

[@deniseschofield5513]

Another delightful Vlogmas. I'm having so much fun watching your videos.

[@ManuelaKolpin]

Love your Vlogmas! I savor my Advent calendar daily. Hugs

[@Stacy-y4g]

Your house is sew pretty! You are a natural beauty as well. Thanks for sharing your projects - it's inspiring.

[@DebrafromMD]

The quilt prize looks Sew amazing! I am not very good with advent boxes. I start off strong, but usually end up opening everything about half way through the month. I blame the stress of the holiday season. LOL!

[@sandychristiansen1749]

You are sew special and I am enjoying these Vlogmas so much.

[@debraschenz]

Your house is decorated beautifully. You are such a sweet person, I love watching your videos/tutorials. Merry Christmas!

[@sandyanderson3985]

Another fun video!! I just finished making a pillow using your felt star snowman! I was SEW excited to make it! Also, I purchased the Spellbinders 12 Days of Stitchmas also, and have yet to open it! But I've enjoyed watching you open every day, and have an idea to make a tag for each of the 12 days as a gift for my friend. I have had other advent-type things in the past, and have been a good rule follower, opening on the designated day! I enjoyed your tour of ornaments and candles today; you always leave me with something to think about. Also, know that taking a little nap is always a good thing!! Thanks SEW much for sharing!!

[@marthacook]

I have done advent boxes the last couple of years and I open them day by day. I had noticed you opened your advent boxes later in the day. I could not wait that long . Understandable you had a much needed nap. Poor Odin. Nothing like a cuddle with mama. I’m done with Christmas stitching. Right now I am stitching the “Sleeping Bee” by Jeannine McGowan. Also planning to sew a project bag by a Tiger Lily design that will hold my floss that I keep in bobbins. What a beautiful tree you have downstairs. Lovely finish on the Christmas Rules.

[@user-uh3ml4tq7r]

Glad Odin recovered! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home and treasures!

[@maryloucacciatore4936]

Sew excited about your video today ! Thanks ♥️♥️🎄♥️

[@carolconrow5132]

Enjoyed your decorations, your trees are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your home and day, I look forward to your blog each day and your advent savoring. I do not think I would savor for the whole box. I would have cheated and looked at day 11 instead of waiting. Sew have a good evening and take care

[@SkyWonder874]

My friend would be so happy to receive the pattern to sew.

[@pams8753]

Poor, sweet Odin. I'm glad he has such a kind mom to comfort him. Sew

[@barbarawoodard4731]

Poor Oden. He’s Sew lucky to have you to spoil him. I’m working on your felt Rudolph ornament for my grandkids!!

[@simpsondonna]

Love seeing your home!

[@judithvalerio6039]

I always open it ALL AT ONCE!!! I just cannot wait! I just love your decorations and you have such a lovely home.. You are a very talented person and I just love your style. Your stitching on canvas is just lovely, I know that it would take me some time to get just one of the larger pieces done. I did have laser surgery on one of my eyes, which means I can now see well enough to contemplate stitching more than simple felt ornaments. Just loving watching your enthusiasm for all the crafting things you accomplish. I love your card makes and really enjoy watching your delight in your stitching projects. Don't worry about Odin, he just wants more time with you.!!!

[@marlenethoms1038]

I am so inspired by everything you do 🤩. Thanks for sharing.

[@judithvalerio6039]

How cute is that little mouse!!!!

[@catheydayton6493]

that will be a fun quilt to sew for spring. Thanks for your give aways.

[@Donnakarczewski]

I would sew open them all at once!

[@ramonawessels4209]

Thanks for all your SEW fun vlogmas☺️

[@samanthafry5849]

I’m thoroughly enjoying your Vlogmas series. Currently I’m stitching the advent patterns from Blueberry Ridge Design. There’s four in total - one released each Sunday in December. I’ve completed week one, working now on week two. Thanks for sharing all your stitching adventures and your tips on decorating.

[@dmckinney8400]

Sew this year I have bought the Spellbinders Crafty advent box, the Spellbinders Stitchmas advent box (which is wonderful), the Simon Says Stamp Gingermas advent box (which is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE) as you can tell I am a multi-crafter too; although I must say I do more paper crafting and cross stitching than any of my other crafts (sewing and crochet) I have also purchased 2 different jigsaw puzzle advent boxes. I am like you; I am very disciplined about opening only the current days advent window instead of everything all at once and I don't always open them first thing. Some days they won't get opened till 8 or 9 that night.

[@pampeterson3092]

I recently found and followed your Flosstube. I have enjoyed seeing what you are stitching and sew ing. And with this vlogmas I am getting better acquainted with you. I cross stitch and sew mostly quilting projects. Your dogs are adorable and my ShihTzu is a lot like Odin. Today I am trying to fully finish a few cross stitch ornaments.

[@beatricerussell7707]

Thank you Nichol! I find your Vlogmas videos delightful and look forward to them every day!!❤

[@DeborahDeLisle]

Our kitties are the same way with loud noises… poor babies. Love to see how others decorate… SEW cool!!

[@FabShabbyRose]

I’m enjoying your vlogmas Sew very much! Thank you for all you do!

[@stacierisen8870]

Thank you for sharing with all of us ❤ Poor Odin. Our Lila Jo is the same. Sounds like you both needed the snuggle and snooze time! They're both so cute especially since they follow directions the same as our pups 😂 I love battery candles too! The dim feature is marvelous. I, too, keep my Precious Moments and nativity sets up all year. It fills my heart. Tfs ❤

[@denabaker96]

I haven't ever had an advent calendar or box however I am now considering my choices in getting myself a little gift of something fun like this inspired by you ❤thanx lovely lady 🎉

[@lorrilogancigalina3781]

My Laney 🐶 completely understands his angst, she hates any electronic noises🫣 I spy the neutral ribbons on your tree…. Sew pretty❣️

[@jeffsola1567]

It has been fun watching your vlogmas! You are sew creative! You inspire me with all your different finishes! Deanna

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

I appreciate the kind words! I’m having so much fun with Vlogmas!

[@heartlandstitcher9825]

I have never ordered an advent box! I would likely open one a day! Thanks for sharing the candle info. I want to order some, but I never know which ones to order. So I appreciate the info. Your dogs are so adorable! I can imagine the fear of the smoke detector as it is so loud. That quilt is SEW cute. Thanks for your daily videos. I've really enjoyed them.

[@GleefulGretchen]

I have several advent calendars, from food related to stitchy stuff and I savor them every day. I enjoy the 12 or 25 days of little surprises actually more than gifts on Christmas morning. I think they extend the joy and festivities of the season sew much -- a little bit of joy everyday. My mother and I Facetime every night from Dec 1st thru the 25th (I live in TX and she lives in VA). During our nightly FT, we have the same tea and cheese from our Aldi advents, we each scratch a $1 lotto ticket, and we stitch on the same project for a few minutes together (we are stitching the cardinal from the Prairie Schooler Birds & Berries leaflet). I created a stitchy advent box for her and her for me, and we also unveil those during our FT chat (we did 12 days). On day 13, we are starting the Tiger Lily advent box (we each have one). The holidays can be emotionally challenging for us for personal reasons, and having some advent joy in my day really does sew much to help lift my spirits. I have also enjoyed the kitten stitcher's advent box and the box itself is absolutely gorgeous! I am going to save it and either put Xmas charts/WIPs in it or use for my needs to be FFO-ed stash. I also enjoy the Aldi puzzle advent box - I am doing the one from last year again and the new one for 2024 so I can do a small festive puzzle everyday until Christmas (there are 12 in each). Happy holidays to everyone -- a little bit each and every day!

[@meganvitale6350]

I am really enjoying and looking forward to these daily vlogs!❤

[@marlenwwiggins3351]

I love to sew. My grandma taught me

[@sandiarnold6707]

I do not have an advent calendar for myself, however, I would always take my daughter, her partner and my granddog(Bently) s presents and wrap/number and give to them on Thanksgiving to start opening like an advent calendar This year is really hard, as Bently crossed the rainbow bridge and my daughter and her partner split after 15 years. I have put up no decorations but have been stitching lots of Christmas. I m so glad you took some time for yourself yesterday and just enjoyed your Christmas decorations you worked so hard to put up (and make) Your home is beautiful ENJOY IT!

[@nancyfleming4422]

I've been enjoying your daily vlogmas! I need to sew more.

[@LeannaPerry-qe4pv]

Thank you for a another fun video, it’s sew much fun 🎉😊❤

[@moreiss1]

I love this so much, Nichol!!!! Odin and Frank are just too Sweet! I'm obsessed with your red and white tree!

[@carolomer4171]

I have never had an advent calendar to open but I am going to try and get that Kitten Stitcher one next year. So many fun charts! I would open one each day, not all at once. I realized last night that most of what I stitched yesterday on my Christmas Bells Sampler, needs ripped out. I am also working on a couple of 1st Christmas ornaments. I need to continue to sew on the Christmas quilt I started last week. It is baby sized and I hope to finish it this weekend.

[@maureenmullarkey1653]

As always sew happy to see you!

[@Obie217]

Thank you for making your vlog SEW much fun!

[@lynnsipes7963]

Poor Oden! I guess he knew you needed a nap 😁. I'm stitching Nutcracker Village by Country Cottage Needleworks I hope to finish in December. I have other wips available, and I'm sew project is the Tiny Tote Bag from Shabby Fabrics. The kit makes 10 using a charm pack. Have you thought about or tried plugging the tree into a short or wound up extension cord and plugging that into the base? When I open Advent boxes depends on my mood 😅

[@PurplePaperMountain-Christi]

Your Christmas decor is SEW Beautiful ❤🎄 Thank you for showing us 😊

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 😊

[@robindemack6415]

ALL AT ONCE!! I got the advent box from Kitten Stitcher as well!! It’s a great box!! I also received my box from Stitch and Stash today and all as I can say is OMG…gorgeous!!!😊❤️

[@patulibarri5044]

Hi Nichol, I use battery operated candles all time I aso use timers on my treess. I love to Sew and Just started quilting this year.

[@christy428texas]

I haven’t received or purchased an advent box but am tempted to buy one next year. I think I really want to make a 12 days of Christmas box for both my daughters. I am taking notes now! I totally understand the loud noises causing issues for Odin - my Jasper is similar. We try to avoid fireworks every year. Currently, I am stitching the Plum Street ornament from the Chantelle’s 141 mystery box this year. I am loving it. I am also seeing a few tiny pillows to add to my dough bowl. Merry Christmas!

[@loristory83]

Hi Nichol, thanks for sharing all the things! Love seeing the beautiful work that you do. I am currently stitching the Gingerbread sewing book, I’m close to being done, love seeing your progress, it has taken longer than expected but I think it’s really cute and am excited to see it finished - maybe this coming weekend. Have a great week!

[@gooddollie]

I ordered Stitchmas a while back and opened it all up as soon as I got it! LOL! I’ve already made several holiday cards.

[@teresalandenberger6453]

I got the Colorado cross stitcher advent and I like to savor each day

[@luv2scrap66]

I get a paper crafting advent box and tear into it the day it comes 🙈.

[@RJRafferty1630]

I’m SEW enjoying your daily Vlogmas videos ❤

[@colleenisaac6647]

I’ve only had one advent and it was MSQC advent box. I did savor each day because I love getting presents! I teased my kids that I’d wait until Christmas morning and open all 25! 🤣 Please take care of yourself because you are sew important to everyone! Those candles are amazing. I said our house looks like church with all the votives.

[@janicejerolymack5831]

Thank you!

[@deeakins-stitcher]

Everything looks lovely. I look forward to your videos. I have a January birthday, so with my mom’s Christmas gift and my birthday gift each year , I would buy Pottery Barn no flame candles. I now have a wonderful collection. Hubby has asthma and allergies so no real candles here. Also brain fog would be dangerous with fire, lol. I love the timers and love the warmth they add to our winter decor.

[@rubygarner5683]

Can’t wait to sew a new quilt thx!

[@sueb1828]

I didn’t get any Advent adventures this year but will consider for next year as this is a lot of fun. SEW sorry Odin had a panic attack. Luckily he has a wonderful Mom to comfort him. TFS.

[@richardallen1391]

I have enjoyed seeing all of your Christmas finishes. I purchases your stitching dies and I need to sew them into ornaments. Thanks Janine

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

That is so fun, I am so glad you are enjoying those!

[@kathysnavely1802]

Wow! You are one busy lady. Sew glad I found your channel. God Bkess!

[@DecorativeSewingPins]

Loved your "Ted Talk" 😂 Nichol... thank you for the bright spot in the day 😍🎄☃️🎅🤶🦌🛷

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

You’re so sweet, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@retrorx8180]

The window fill in for the gingerbread house is no joke. Today will be day 4 of just that for me. gosh I hope I get that done tonight. Your's looks so so great! Cant wait to see what you do with it.

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

It's so much fun to see it come together, isn't it?

[@lararead9252]

Sew cute! Your house is amazing!

[@terancedecker-harris1041]

Savor it ..always been there I think always will

[@ArtFromMyCraftyHeart-s4l]

Just returning to my love of SEW ing. I made my first project bag a few months ago. From several feet away it looks great. Not so much when you look at my binding up close. A real struggle! Last January I fully finished several small pillows and I love them all. I am looking at buying a new machine. Wishing you would do a video on what you recommend shopping for in a new machine. I am stitching a few Christmas charts (Primrose!!) but will be jumping over to my Primitive stitching this month and mixing it up with my Holiday stitching. I LOVE your red and white accents in your basement. It is just beautiful. No basements in Texas.... so sad! Have a great week. I want to sign up and do Kitten Stitchers Advent Box the next time it is offered. I have thoroughly enjoyed each days opening.

[@barbarablevins3729]

I, too, have quit using real candles and enjoy the battery candles - I am finishing a snowman from Brenda Gervais and need to sew into a pillow.

[@dianamead2990]

I am sew happy Oden is doing better. Thank you for all you do!
