[@dokidokiforest]

Good morning Janet! 🦉✨💕 Oh how I love waking up, getting some coffee, and settling in with one of your relaxing and inspiring process videos. The tin is just the perfect little case to tuck away your wonderful slow stitch mini journal. Loved when you surprised Ben with what was inside, so adorable. And sweet Freddie always by your side. 🐶 Oh and look at that, Freddie is also the game champion, collecting all the money lol! So much fun. ☺ I was going to give a suggestion for the owl bag but I loved Jullia’s name she put forth so much that I’m going to second that one. 😄 Big hugs and lots of love from Sophia, Evelyn Rose, the beasties and I to you, Freddie, Flo, the fairies and the fam! ❤🌳✨

[@MossCottageMarket]

Janet. thank you for sharing your lovely little journal. I have a whole box of mint tins that were gifted to me and now I know what to do with them. I wasn't stitching along with you but I was working on some Christmas ornaments. I love crafting along with you, Freddy and Flo! 💗💗💗

[@janetnash]

Thank you so much Helen, oh the little tins will be perfect, Cat Hand did a video for a paper journal in a tin too. In fact they would make good Christmas decorations. 🧵

[@JeanneBaney]

Oooo if you have enough, I saw someone make an advent calendar out of mint tins! You could slow stitch numbers for the top.

[@lindanonnenmann1112]

So many goodies to slow stitch onto your tiny concertina. Totally whimsical!!! No sweets for dear Ben, maybe next time. I would buy those little boxes in ready for my slow stitch projects and then Ben would have lots of mints when he comes to visit. ❤😊 The more he samples...the more tins you have for projects!! Love the couched branch with the shiny thread.

[@janetnash]

Oh Linda I will have to pop in to Marks and Spencer’s to buy a little tin of sweets ! just for Ben ! ( only because I NEED the tin ) it reminds me of searching through my Grandmothers chest of drawers and looking inside all the little tins and stationery items. Always expect the unexpected ! whimsical. Thank you so much, I do hope you have fun creating this week 😊

[@sherryvann9299]

Such a wonderful idea. I'm going to get a candy tin and make one. As usual a wonderful, healing video.

[@spottedfawn639]

So cute! That was an interesting tip from your mom about locking the beginning stitch so it lays flat (I'm probably not wording it right). I've never heard of that, but I've also never embroidered table cloths either :) Slow stitch is so nice because like you said "it doesn't matter". Have a whimsical, yet practical week! ❤

[@janetnash]

Hehe let’s hope we Both have more whimsical times than practical time this week. I will have to show one of my Mums table or tray cloths. But yes slow stitching is just so freeing isn’t it 🧵

[@spottedfawn639]

@@janetnash yes, Janet! Not too practical. That's when I get bored - doing things I don't want to do... you know how it is! ;) but just practical enough that we get the whimsical stuff done. And yes, slow stitch is very freeing. I would love to see some of your mom's needlework!

🦉 oh thank you for the inspiration Cat, I was stitching away when I saw you’re video and yes ran straight up to the bedding box. I used papers, washi tape and some vintage bits with modpodge for the top of the box, a fun project. Meljoy gave me the stencil and I thought it would be fun on the floor instead of on paper !!
