I lived in Japan for 5 years when I was younger and seeing your trip brought back so many memories. I've also been an avid cross stitcher for most of my life, so this is really just the perfect combination of nostalgia for me. Such an amazing project that you will obviously treasure for the rest of your life. 💙

It’s beautiful! Some of the best wall art is that which is personally meaningful to your life story. I do this kind of thing as well, but with tiny illustrations using 005 pens on the blank exterior of my agenda/journal, whenever I can signify a day with a memorable/meaningful little drawing. If you keep them for a few years, there’s cohesion between the covers, but each one is unique and gives a snapshot of the year in its collection of illustrations. Also thank you for sharing your "post-pandemic" Covid story. Sadly, it’s ongoing and still worth taking precautions in crowded poorly ventilated situations whenever possible. Beautiful work! I also really enjoyed the fabric shopping video from your trip.

Love the unique idea for travel momentos. I like to buy local makers clothes while on trips, so I every time I wear the item I’m reminded of where I was when I got it. currently working in a couple outgrown/worn out tops into a scrappy quilt, so the memories live on. Side note: love the lip colour! Stunning.

So beautiful Janelle - and your obvious joy in the whole project is inspiring! I loved what you were saying about how these little images are able to conjure such vibrant & specific memories of each & every day, as opposed to the 'blur' that holidays often feel like. Lovely too, that this is very much a shared project of memory keeping with Matt 😊

Thanks so much. I followed your Japanese journey with great interest and literally *gasped* when you held up your framed masterpiece. Your earlier videos inspired me to do this for a recent 6-week trip I took to Europe. Because I was traveling around a lot with carry-on only bags I decided to keep a journal to inspire my images to stitch once I got home and to help me relive the whole trip in a deeper way. These tips, especially Stitch Fiddle will help me bring this into reality. I loved your stories! 🧡

I love this so much! Like you said, those little icons store so many memories and probably make you remember your trip more vividly than just looking at photos. I've had a collection of really nice stitching thread from a family member for some years now and never knew what to use it for because I feel like I don't want to do one big thing. And I also went on an amazing 20-day-trip in September, so maybe I will connect those two and cross-stitch 20 tiny pictures about my trip with the thread that means so much to me.
