Slow Stitch Vessel | Pouch | Needle Book | Stitching in progress

I just needed to slow stitch today. Working on multiple projects - slow stitching is so good for the soul and the perfect way to start a day!

Your projects are so pretty and joyful looking!. Slow stitching is how I keep my sanity these days! 🏵🌺🌼🌻🌹❤

[@kateinthenest]

Thank you so much Kristy! I so appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. I apologise for the delay in reply - back now! Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤

Hello Kate, thank you and this time I have been stitching along with my crochet blanket on my lap that my almost 80 year old mum made for me. Take care ❤

[@kateinthenest]

O Jodie - I love that you have a memory blanket on your lap - how blessed are we to have treasures with us that we can share with others. I hope all is well with you and yours. Sincerely, Kate ❤🧡💛💚💙

[@carolb801]

Kate, you are finding many, many new friends on KZbin. We love what you’re doing. I now have a piece that each time I start stitching, I will do something on it just to settle, re-centre and find the flow. Sending stitching bliss.

[@kateinthenest]

Hi Carol - you are so so lovely - thank you! Truly blessed to be surrounded by friends. Sincerely, Kate ❤🧡💛💚💙

[@avkgma]

Absolutely love your style. It is so beautiful, colorful, tactile and inspiring. Please keep doing what your doing and keep sharing with us, please! xo

[@kateinthenest]

O thank you so so much - I am sorry I am so late with me reply. But please know that I appreciate your kind words and viewing very much. Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤

[@ameliarowe2459]

Hello Kate, my apologies, I am watching your videos in a very jumbled order. I hadn't realised how unsettled you'd been since getting home to the big island. (Yes, Tasmanians do refer to the larger land mass north of here as either the big island or the north island ). Glad your making helps you centre and find calmness. Watching you has inspired me to use some variegated threads...such beautifl wizardry. G'day to your mum. Embrace the pink...mothers know best x

[@kateinthenest]

Hello Amazing Amelia! Sorry it's been so long....will be in touch! Lots of love. Kate ❤🧡💛💚💙

[@anitajansen5610]

OMG this and scary. I wake up after a bad dream, it is 3.40 in the night. I see there's a new video from you. Go take a look and see what you see......your nest that you are working on. I am working on a similar nest, the same colors and for the outside I have found a crochet piece that fits exactly what I once crocheted myself. Now I'm going to watch the rest of the video. Have a nice day Kate and have a nice weekend👍💐🧡

[@kateinthenest]

O that is amazing Anita - I hope you got to get a good sleep after watching ...sending blessings. ❤🧡💛💚💙

[@lorijohnson9206]

Your work is so inspiring. I love all the wonderful bright colors you choose to work with. I hope you can get your etsy shop straighten out. 😊

[@kateinthenest]

Thank you so much Lori. I appreciate your support so much - I'm glad you like my "brights". I am sure things will work out.....sending blessings. Kate 🙂❤🧡💛💚💙

[@karenhughes60]

Hi Kate I am loving your videos your work is just beautiful and creatively freeing. So inspiring to abandon the need for perfection we all seem to struggle with. I have heard other crafting people through KZbin in the past yrs talk about having the very same issues with Etsy . Their shops suddenly shut with no reason with communication made impossible. It seems you are not alone in this.

[@kateinthenest]

Hi Karen! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment - I so appreciate your insight on Etsy too! I think the main thing is just to let go creatively and see where it leads ... hope you are enjoying what you are doing/making too. Sincerely, Kate😊❤❤

[@shabbyquilt6470]

Love your happy colours kate. Handquilting while joining you. 💜

[@kateinthenest]

O that is very kind of you to say. Love thinking of you handquilting along with me - enjoy every stitch! ps. I haven't tried that yet - but it is on my list...wishing you lovely making times. Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤

[@giusicoluccia6594]

The needle book is simply adorable! And the neutral nest...love it! I'm sorry for your troubles with etsy,hope everything goes right! Happy weekend and thanks for sharing ❤

[@kateinthenest]

Thank you Giusi - I so appreciate your care and encouragement. Feeling much better now that I am surrounded by this understanding community. Have a lovely weekend, sending blessings. Kate 🥰

[@gscandiotti]

I wonder if there was a video where you showed how you made the vessel. Your ramble/sharing is welcome,

[@anitajansen5610]

How nice that your mother watches your videos. She must be very proud of you. It's annoying if you're having problems with Etsy, that would make me nervous too. Beautiful book you are making👍🧡

[@kateinthenest]

Hello lovely Anita - I hope you are well. Thinking of you and your family. Thank you for always being here with me...now matter what. Sincerely, Kate ❤❤❤

[@deborahporter2550]

I'm inspired to make a needle book. Your's are beautiful! Ty for sharing!

[@kateinthenest]

Thank you Deborah - I so glad that you are going to make one - they are so so much fun! Enjoy your stitching. Sending blessings, Kate 😄❤❤

[@daffodilangel8724]

All beautifully crafted Kate. 👍❤️

[@kateinthenest]

Thank you .....treasure your support. Lots of blessings......Kate🙂❤🧡💛💚💙

🌸Hi Kate’s Mom🤗 Can’t believe you found an orange & pink napkin! I took over the “formal dining room” for my crafty space.😎 I had this thought today…Slow stitching is an “evolution” for those that love fibers & fabric as is Junk Journaling for paper crafters 🥰 (feeling poetic today 🤣). I live in the south where our winters are mild & marvelous. People from all over the country spend months here & go “home” when their weather is nicer. We call them “snowbirds”. I’m leaving in 10 days to spend a couple months with the grandkids. I guess you could call me a “Sunbird” 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️😉 much love

[@kateinthenest]

O that is amazing (all of it)..I had no idea about snowbirds - but what a wonderful combination that sounds like. How will the weather be where you are going? Happy weekend, sunbird! 🥰

[@CreativeTrish]

@@kateinthenest My summers are 90 & above with humidity 90-97%🤦🏻‍♀️ and it’s also hurricane season. Fun times🫣 I’ll be 1500 miles north. A HOT day is 86 but little humidity so it “feels like” 👈 82😁😎

[@TS-nf6by]

Is it just me, or is everyone getting more and more of those irritatingly annoying YT ads during Kate's videos? 😢 Still love 😊 work though Kate ❤

[@atwoodwoman]

I keep hearing nightmare stories about Etsy. So sad for sellers. I love that your mom watches your channel. Come back to the US East Coast and I’ll buy you coffee and bring you to my favorite thrift shops. That will make you happy!!

[@kateinthenest]

O yes, that would make me so so happy! I would love to make this happen one day - just the thought makes me smile, so thank you for making my day much much better.....next trip though is to California....but how knows after that...hope you are well....sending lots of blessings...Kate 😄❤🧡💛💚💙

[@trelanelegere6533]

Change is good.❤

[@kateinthenest]

Yes it is - thank you! Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤

[@lindajeffree793]

Yes I’m like that with moving furniture…..I’ve even changed the lounge early in the morning before hubby gets out of bed 😂 Love your channel❤

[@kateinthenest]

Thank you Linda - lovely to have you on the adventure with me....I have to admit that I moved all the lounges before my husband came home.....love the look when I said - do you notice anything different! He is wonderful - just smiles and accepts my randomness. Sending blessings, Kate ❤🧡💛💚💙

[@sheilahope7007]

So happy to find you, your pieces are beautiful!!❤

[@kateinthenest]

Thank you Sheila - sorry for the delay on this one...I so so appreciate you being with me. Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤

[@CrystalParrotStudio]

I am so happy to see you posted a video this morning!! 💗 A peaceful stitch-along!! Love all your beautiful creations!!❤

[@kateinthenest]

Hi Crystal - I'm so happy to know that you are stitching along with me. Thank you , sincerely, Kate😄😄❤

[@lindaherrington6291]

Your needlebook is so colourful and pretty, it has that look of quilted softness. Contrast that with the neutral vessel which is just as lovely, displaying it's own restful, calmness. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend.

[@kateinthenest]

Thank you Linda - that is very kind of you to say. I really appreciate your company and encouragement - I feel much calmer now. Have a lovely weekend too. Sincerely, Kate 😄❤❤

[@trelanelegere6533]

Yes ❤

[@theresabray2831]

I am beginning to relax now with my slow stitching. You convinced me to try. I was not sure I was going to enjoy it because it is slow, and I make things with quicker gratification. Thinking this is a project to take to hospital next month. Will touch base later. Theresa

[@CreativeTrish]

🙏❤️🙏

[@Julie-ht3ph]

I’m really glad to have found your channel, Kate! Love your work and your chat. ❤ Your needle book is so cute! I hope you will be able to share your digitals again, whether on Etsy or elsewhere.

[@kateinthenest]

Hi Julie - I am so glad you found me too....I love hearing from you. Thank you for your kindness and understanding - as long as I can keep stitching and journalling, I will be fine. Hope you have a lovely weekend, sincerely. Kate 😊❤🧡💛💚💙

[@createsbyjenn7412]

Hi Kate, Thankyou for sharing your makes, so inspiring and your voice is calm to listen to. I would love to see how you crocheted the little flap in your needle book.

[@kateinthenest]

Hi Jenn - thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. It is great to have you here...I think I do share how to do the flap.....maybe on my slow stitch 1 | crochet 2 play list. Sending blessings, sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤

[@createsbyjenn7412]

@@kateinthenest Thankyou very much!

[@cathiespalding2083]

Your new nest is so beautiful with all the lovely pieces!

[@kateinthenest]

O thank you Cathie - so appreciate you.....hope you have a lovely weekend. Sincerely, Kate 😄🥰

[@Paintspotsandpaper]

Hi Kate, sorry to hear about your problems with Etsy, I’ve had times when my iPad has done an update overnight and couldn’t get into my shop the next day. It’s really worrying, especially if you have it happen around Christmas or times when your orders are busy. I must say that I always found Etsy help very good, I’ve just emailed them in the contact on the help page and they’ve sorted the problem almost immediately. I hope you’ve got it sorted now! If not, just mention in your videos about any physical products you have for sale and ask interested people to email you privately. Of course this doesn’t help with digitals, but it’s at least worth keeping in mind. I didn’t know that you had a shop until the other day and wondered why there was nothing in it, I just thought you’d put it into holiday mode and had forgotten to change it when you got home. Well I do hope it’s all sorted by now, if not , try not to panic, it will be fine I’m sure. Thankyou for sharing your experience and beautiful work! Take care, June ❤❤

[@carrold815]

I just love your neutrals nest

[@kateinthenest]

Thank you so much - glad you like it. Best wishes, Kate 😊❤❤

[@feekyle3457]

Hi Kate, enjoyed your stitching today. I was working with my new wools on my slow stitch bowl as I watched. Your nest was fantastic, can’t wait to see the joy one. I’m pleased you mentioned about your Etsy as I noticed this morning there was nothing in your shop. I got a notification to say there was something new but when I went in it was empty. I wondered if I should let you know. Hope it’s all resolved soon. 💗

[@kateinthenest]

Hi Fee - so lovely to hear from you. Thank you for your care and support. I don't know what is going on, ( still not a single word back from them) but as long as I can still stitch and journal I will be OK. I treasure you being with me. Have a wonderful weekend, sincerely, Kate 🥰

[@voulathomacos-lagonas8445]

Nice to see you in your nest creating. Everything look so pretty...❤

[@kateinthenest]

Hi Voula - thank you! Hope you are enjoying your making too....sending thoughts, care and blessings. Sincerely, Kate ❤🧡💛💚💙

[@annelefevre9457]

I like a more organized and put together way of sewing.not just whatever you have. I like more organized colors and sewing…. Not choppy . But it’s interesting to watch you make a mess! Ha!

[@kateinthenest]

Hi there - thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. I love how we are all so different - that is most wonderful thing about us all just "doing you" isn't it? Hope you have a lovely day, sincerely, Kate 🙂❤❤

[@avkgma]

My mom taught me that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

[@kathyjackson378]

Do u have a video on how you put that beige pouch together… I want to make one… thanx…❤😊

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Hi Kate - had a lovely Friday evening stitching another Roxy vessel while watching and listening to you. Stitching is a wonderful way to unwind. Regarding your Etsy suspension, is it possible you accessed your Etsy account on any public or shared networks while travelling? I’ve read of shops being suspended where Etsy’s algorithm detected two shops logged on from the same IP address. I’m not an active Etsy seller though so others with more experience may have other suggestions. I hope it gets sorted and I am sure it will. Cheers, Christine 💛

[@kateinthenest]

Hi Christine - lovely to hear from you.I am very much enjoying watching your projects on your channel - so it is very special to know that we can do it together! Honoured to have you here with me.... I am not sure re Etsy - still no word at all. Was really about me just starting to share .... as long as I can still stitch and journal, all is well with the world! Hope it's not cold at your place - freezing here! Best wishes, Kate 😊❤❤

[@Sewbits]

I sorry that Etsy did this, I have a shop and that’s not happened to me. Your journey is looking lovely as always.

[@kateinthenest]

Thank you Kristy - appreciate your care. No word from them yet, but I am sure it will work out. Hope your making is going well too. Lots of blessings, Kate 🥰

[@TS-nf6by]

Is it just me, or is everyone getting more and more of those irritatingly annoying YT ads during Kate's videos? 😢 Hate to hear the tension in your voice Kate because of what happend at Etsy. However . . . you will find your way. Impressed by your beautiful needlebook! So lovely! ❤ Doing some slow stitching while watching your video, bought an old crochetring yesterday at a little second hand market, love doing the french knots 😅 Greets Kate from a windy Dutch place.

[@kateinthenest]

Hi there - I am so sorry re ads - new to this, and hope it gets better. ...not sure if I have a voice in this or not with YT?? Thank you for your support and lovely words. Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤

[@marthamanigross]

So very sorry for how Etsy has treated you. They’re not friendly to the small business owner anymore. I left about a year ago. I hope you can get it resolved. All it takes is for someone to say you’ve copied them or you didn’t complete a transaction and they’ll kick you out without explanation. Good luck. Your pieces are stunning.

[@kateinthenest]

Hi Martha - o thank you so much for taking the time to write to me. I appreciate your insight - I still have not had one word from them - very puzzling, but maybe something like this happened? Anyway, as long as I can still making I will be fine.....I hope you are OK after leaving them too. And thank you too for your kindness about my pieces.....that is so lovely of you to say. Sending blessings, sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤

[@Truthmatters02]

Did Racheal do a vessel video? I would like to watch it but can’t find it ? ❤

[@kateinthenest]

Hi there - yes, Rachel is doing vessels as part of Volume 5 Prompt 6...hope you can find it - lots of blessings. Sincerely, Kate 😊❤❤
