[@robincadwallader7426]

That panel is GORGEOUS!! I just want to touch it. The curiosity box is such a clever idea. That would be such a great summer project for kids. Thanks for sharing!❤

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Robin - definitely would be a great project with kids 🤗

[@candicepierce5726]

Your page is looking amazing and your cabinet of curiosities is going to have lots of interesting nooks and crannies.

Thanks so much Shirley - hope you’re having a lovely stitchy weekend. Cheers, Christine

[@elizabethrobinson5706]

The panel is gorgeous all those delicate stitches are beautiful and I love the progress on your curiosity cabinet. The daffodils made me smile, they are always the first flowers to bloom here after winter. Sending big hugs for you and your dad 💖

[@lindaherrington6291]

Your page has the soft, subtle, and understated elegance befitting an Edwardian lady. Beautiful!

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

What a lovely comment Linda! This project is such fun 🤗

Hi Christine! It’s been so much fun joining all the slow-stitch girls these past couple of yrs. I’ve enjoyed watching you, and hearing your stories. During a difficult time, tuning in to you and the other stitchers has been calming to my heart. So, thank you a whole bunch! 😊❤

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

It makes me so very happy Terry to know that I’ve been able to help bring you some comfort during a challenging time. I hope the challenges are dissipating and I send you thoughts of comfort, care and support from my little craft room to wherever you are. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡

This page is so stunning💕. I love to watch you stitch and listen to your voice which is very soothing. Your cabinet of curiosities is going to be fabulous!

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thank you Mona - I am glad I can bring a soothing vibe - stitching and creating is definitely calming for me too. 💙🧵🪡

Omg just wonderful. Love it.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Many thanks Jackie - hope you’re having a fun weekend of stitching or creating too 💙🧵🪡

[@leannescraftycupboard]

Oh my! Do you know how much I love that cabinet of curiosities? In the movie, French Kiss I loved his wine project box of bottled botanicals. In Toy Story, I was obsessed with that toy repairer's work box. Now your cabinet is firmly stuck in that part of my brain for memorable things in boxes. 😁❤

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Awwww - I love that this idea has joined your mind’s cabinet of curiosities holding your own memories of cabinets of curiosity 🤗

[@annepollard9114]

I'm a newby to slow stitching and have just found your channel. Your video was so relaxing/calming and informative. Your work absolutely beautiful. Looking forward to watching more and putting your ideas into practice. Thank you

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

A big welcome to you Anne and lovely to have you join our stitchy community - we may be spread out across the globe but we are joined up in our passion for slow stitch. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡

[@carrold815]

Love the use of sewing threads

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Carol - the regular sewing cotton creates a great effect 🤗

[@snoppynewall4922]

I love how this page is coming along it's so beautiful, Christine ❤ were always come back to sew along with you xx

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

It makes me so happy to think of my starchy buddies with me while I’m stitching. It’s such a wonderful community 💙🧵🪡

[@creepycutiecrafty]

Ooooh, it looks fascinating! Could you write labels on the backs of those Formica samples? With chalk pens or poscas maybe? You could add descriptions of the fabric samples or natural bits that you’re displaying. I love how green fingered you are! So much botanical knowledge! It looks to be a really exciting design. Such an imaginative creation

[@Ann-eh7ii]

I has been fun to watch you do your box of curiosities. I have little shelves in My sewing room where I put vintage stuff. Enjoying watching your stitching as it has been a long time since I have done it. ❤❤❤

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Oooh I would love to see your shelf of vintage sewing goodies! 💙🧵🪡

[@schrellkauffman9303]

Thanks Lorrayne - lots of fun putting the cabinet of curiosities together 🤗

[@patvalenzuela5105]

Your page looks so beautiful. I saw you last time laying it down. I really like it. I spent the day printing on fabric. I used my gelli plate and did some hand painting and made some stencils for my desert section . I also made prints for the back of the the accordion fold . Six for the forest and six for the desert. I used fabric paints.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Oooh I can’t wait to see what you’ve created! Sounds fabulous. I do love how you’re approaching your project. Cheers, Christine

[@debrablanson2288]

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

Hi Christine, your panel is coming along very beautifully and I love how you're doing your box! The daffodil is my favorite spring flower. Thanks for another great video of stitching and chatting. I was answering but I doubt you heard me all the way over there😂 Have a great weekend! TFS 😊

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

It’s funny Kim but I often almost hear my stitchy friends chatting time while I stitch. Daffodils are such a cheery flower. Still strange they are coming up in the middle of winter! Cheers, Christine ☀️

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

@@createandcraftwithchristine we had some come up in winter last year when we had a couple of warm days in a row.

[@dawnmeldrum1267]

Gorgeous colours ❤

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Dawn! 🤗

[@anitajansen5610]

Hi Christine, another nice video. Good ideas and your stitching is beautiful. Unfortunately no dog at my side. I had the 2nd dog put to sleep in 7 months 2 months ago. One was almost 14 years old, the other only 1.5 years old. Both dogs were rehomed dogs. I had the first for 7 years and the second for only 6 months. I miss them😥 Maybe there will be another dog in the future, but not yet. Have a nice weekend👍🧡💐

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

I am so very sorry Anita and send you much love and gentle thoughts. 💙☀️

[@rachellee.9389]

Those maple seeds make great fairy wings or even wings on Tim Holz people. They look especially good if you glitter them up, either subtly or go-for-it. I used small, palm-sized plastic skeletons with those 'wings' at Halloween to represent dead fairies (oops, did I confess that out loud?).

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Oh that is too funny Joy! Wonderful idea for these to be little wings too. Hope you have a delightful weekend. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡

[@dennypondaview]

Spring bulbs here too crazy

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

It’s a lot of fun stitching these spring pieces isn’t it 🤗
