Thank you!

Little, noel, sheep, merry. Love all the videos and information you share. Always a fun time.

[@ellenmatoba1078]

Hello! It’s so great to see you both. Thank you for sharing your stitching progress and sharing your challenge stitching. There is always so much stitching to do for all seasons, Merry Christmas, and little sheep virtues with so many great patterns. Have a wonderful week of happy stitching. 😊

[@SunshineStitchers]

Thank you so much! Each season offers a lot of stitching wonders.

[@carlarigel252]

Great video 1:16:30 . Shelia, you are a hoot! Lol. Have a great trip. Happy stitching!

[@charlottegaskins2982]

I am excited for both of your road trip together this summer! Love all the random education and learning I get with your videos. We even have bears on the coast of North Carolina. Loved all the stitching. Little, sheep, noel, merry, seasons.

[@SunshineStitchers]

Thank you! We have been having fun planning.

[@tamimorgan1487]

Hi ladies! Thank you for sharing! Happy stitching!

[@deniseniemann5270]

Beautiful finishes Shelia!

[@deehansen5490]

Love your finishes Shelia! EJ, the temperature butterfly is coming along nicely! The little sheep celebrated the seasons with merry Noel!

[@SunshineStitchers]

Thank you!

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

Merry little sheep. The Noel grouping has some awesome charts for my favorite of all the seasons! I like your idea of kitting up a new stitch, at each shop. Yep, always take extra undies. :)

[@pavana-rhymes.with.Madonna]

Just discovered your flosstube and I’m SO delighted! You are both awesome and I can’t wait to tell others about your flosstube! Keep up the great work - you’re an inspiration! 🎉❤

[@SunshineStitchers]

Thank you so much! Please do! We enjoy cross stitching so much.

[@mitziruggio]

Have fun on your road trip. Sounds like a blast. Noel is beautiful

[@jennidawn]

Ok…I absolutely LOVE the Seasons of the Heart patterns by Blue Flower…and now I will never be able to look at them without giggling (Harder Daddy)! I actually took a screen shot of that one when it was completed. Whenever someone gives me that “you have an old lady hobby look”, I pull out that picture and let them know, “this ain’t your Grandmas cross stitch”!!!!! I also love the idea of kitting up a project completely when visiting a “destination” LNS. Then you get to remember the trip each time you work on it😊 imma have to steal that one. There are so many seasons in a year, some little, some merry and some celebrating the first Noel!! And thank goodness for that Noel and the Good Shepherd we all need as the lost sheep of His flock.

[@SunshineStitchers]

I love that Harder Daddy is a teaching tool! Some things you cannot unsee.

[@suepasno4436]

I would love to stitch some merry sheep throughout the seasons. Happy, safe travels. Thanks for the video!

[@aprater00]

Great video! Little, Noel, sheep, merry,

[@deniseniemann5270]

Nice starts, Shelia!

[@DaisysXMarksTheSpots]

Another fun and wonderful video ❤️ Little, Noel, Merry & Seasons ❤❤❤

[@theresamccormick8647]

I wish you a joyous Noel. Thank you!

[@minniegray-allxxs9332]

Beautiful stitching ladies! EJ those angry butterflies are going to be beautiful, I can hardly wait. You are making lots of progress. Enjoy your road trip, careful walking through the forests and make sure you carry 🐻 spray.😆💖💖

[@SunshineStitchers]

They are going to be amazing.

[@deniseniemann5270]

Congrats y'all!!!

[@EMGcrafter]

Oh my so many funny moments during this conversation! Thanks for bringing the sunshine! Shelia, the size of that mug, LOL! The beaded ornament is so pretty! EJ, temperature butterfly is looking so good! It will be fun to see how the colors look for the next several months!

[@SunshineStitchers]

It is absolutely the best coffee mug I have ever had. I dropped it several years ago and the handle broke off. I reattached it with Gorilla Glue. So far, so good.

[@lindaparish1952]

A great video - you two always put a smile in the day ! Beautiful stitching- Sheila I agree if you are going to visit cross stitch shops always leave extra room in suitcase on the way there !

[@SunshineStitchers]

It's a challenge when I'm flying. This trip, I'm driving so extra space.

[@Lisa-vb3gn]

Love the laughter-thank you! Good luck with the end of the school year EJ! Field day can be such a challenge.🙄

[@EnchantingStitching9697]

Just love watching y’all,. Noel, the little sheep couldn’t wait for the merry season to start

[@lindameeks5228]

Little,Noel,Sheep,Merry,Seasons.

[@sharonedmondson2923]

Love all of the Little Seasons charts.

[@susanbarnes1385]

I love the knowledge you and your viewers share. I have the stories behind Christmas songs in my wish list. Can’t believe we are doing a little merry Christmas planning now. How quickly the seasons are flying this year. Not even time to count sheep. Your vacation trip sounds fantastic. Noel.

[@Jls75]

Little, Noel, Sheep, Merry, Seasons thank you 😊

[@evelynburrola3574]

Hello Ladies, I’m going to to have a Merry Christmas this winter😉

[@lisahaddican9168]

Yall are so funny and sweet. I live in SE Louisiana, so I totally get the hurricane prep. We joke about the hurricane season, and you've got to find the humor.😁

[@SunshineStitchers]

Absolutely, else the anxiety will drive you crazy.

[@kimberleyanderson6643]

You gals always bring on the giggles! You’ll have an awesome adventure, and I look forward to hearing your stories! Safe travels❤️

[@joyd5000]

You brought another happy start to my Sunday! Half a suitcase full of underwear sounds about right lol. Great stitching. little noel sheep merry seasons.

[@beckydanco602]

Little, Noel, sheep, merry, seasons. I have missed seeing your videos. I fell behind in floss tube. I am now caught up with your channel. Enjoy your trips this month. Loving the progress on all of your WIPs. Congratulations on your finish’s

[@SunshineStitchers]

Whew! I hope you weren't too far behind. Hoping you enjoyed the videos. Thank you for watching.

Noel - sheep - seasons. Great episode! Can’t wait to hear about your trip!

[@shebeesstitchyworld]

So much fun watching the two of you today. Loved your finishes Shelia! May sure was a good month of stitching EJ. I’m glad when I went to school we didn’t have all that testing - whew. I’m jealous of your trip, my kind of road trip. I’m with EJ - lots of underwear - LOL!!!

[@SunshineStitchers]

You are doing a great job with your videos.

[@kaylowry4188]

Merry seasons from the little sheep named Noel. Great job ladies

Excellent episode ladies! Little, Noel, Sheep, Merry. Have a wonderful week ahead! 🙏🙏🙏

Shelia, I heard watermelon fight at first too and was very confused. Congrats to EJ on making it through testing season! Little sheep are merry in the season of Noel. 🌲⭐☃️

[@SunshineStitchers]

Whew! Glad I wasn't the only one.

[@lorrainebergstrom9391]

It's always so nice to see your projects and your progress. Great job on the christmas ornaments, they're so pretty. There is definitely no shortage of christmas stitching in your upcoming packets. The little merry sheep would see several seasons besides noel.

[@patriciabrown5524]

Love how you show closeups of your stitching at the end I’m watching on my phone so don’t always see the details The Xmas ornament is absolutely beautiful! And your stitching is sublime! Always look forward to your floss tubes Wish I could come on your road trip! It’s going to be so much fun!

[@SunshineStitchers]

You are so kind! Thank you so much for watching our videos.

[@prudenceniedzwiecki8544]

Another fun time! Little sheep Noel

[@melbaburwell6264]

Shelia. That's a great idea of what you're doing for your trip. Kit up a project from each LNS yall go to. Taking no projects with you. It's like starting fresh. And it's a memory maker. Great idea! 🤩🤗

[@SunshineStitchers]

I have several started projects that were bought during LNS visits. Every time I pick one up, I think about the visit.

[@melbaburwell6264]

@@SunshineStitchers I really hope and pray that You and EJ have safe travels, and that y’all enjoy each moment 🙏🏾

[@GwenK3]

Love your finishes. So fun and full of laughter. Thank you! I would like to stitch the merry little noel sheep for the seasons.

[@cleotaostermaier3283]

Thank you for another great video ladies. Shelia, I love your new start of Dancer. I have it finished in a hoop for next winter. The little sheep named Noel is merry in all seasons.

You always make me smile! Thank you for the pick me up. I have seen so many cute cross stitch patterns that have Noel and Sheep in them!

[@susanwestfall5519]

Thank you for the Christmas song book recommendation. I can’t wait to read it. My stitching time right now is limited because of a rotator cuff problem ( no surgery required); as a consequence my reading time has taken off. I’m still watching lots of floss tube and getting great book recommendations from stitchers and knitters.

[@evelynburrola3574]

I’m excited for the new season charts.

[@lindaficetola607]

Hi ladies, Great seeing you today ❤️ Merry Seasons to everyone including the Little Sheep on Noel eve.❤ You have a great stitchy week ahead. ❤

[@TheStitchingOwl]

I should design a very small ornament and call it The Minimus.

[@SunshineStitchers]

Cool! The phrase is "de minimis", lacking importance. I had to look it up to spell it correctly.

[@carylminard448]

I’m glad that both of you have a great time making these videos; because I have a wonderful time watching and laughing so much my cheeks/face hurt. Congratulations on your ornaments! The Little Sheep, Noel is a favorite though out the Merry Seasons of the year. Happy Stitching and Yay🎉 school almost out for the summer EJ!
