#The100DayProject

[@minkaf4243]

I love this. ❤️ The colors. ❤️ The composition. ❤️ The textures. ❤️ Your application of the lace with colored thread integrates it into the composition. ❤️ Thank you.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much 😊

[@jenniferreed7881]

Thanks so much for filming so much of the process, it conveys the fun to be had. I watched this lying down ready for sleep, without my glasses, and saw the profile of a woman, hair pulled into a bun, arm extended doing work, the lace was her face. I wonder how she'll look 'hugging the book'. Love the colors and texture in general. Wish I could see this in real life, I miss much of the dimension of the texture but that's just the nature of video and photo compared to life I guess.

[@roxycreations679]

Oh that's such a funny image you deascribed! Thank you so much!

[@samanthaphillips5102]

Rachel, Your piece turned out great...full of nice textures. You seemed to enjoy stitching as much as I enjoyed watching you. Thanks for sharing!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@lucy7b]

I love this one ❤❤❤

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you 😊

[@sherryrector2275]

Very lovely and unique. Lots of unusual ideas here which I adore.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@dianegardner2029]

You have inspired me with today's stitching. More ideas to put into/onto my journal(s). I love to hand stitch ..this is great!

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@deeleaman1839]

Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@barbaracheatham692]

I have never owned a threader and now with bifocals must have bright light. May need to get me one. Love the slow stitching. I think it’s my favorite part of making a journal. Your color choices are beautiful as is your composition.

[@roxycreations679]

I would be lost without my threader. Thank you so much!

[@trudynicholson5542]

So beautiful love it.

[@roxycreations679]

[@ozjan7927]

Enjoyed it very much Rache. You have such a great relationship with your Mum and it extends to your wonderful relationship with Lulu! Hope we get to see what you do with that piece. 🙂❤️🇦🇺xxx

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@brendadrury4414]

The piece is lovely. I have not hand stitched in a long time. My Grandmother had made patchwork quilts only using hand stitching.

[@roxycreations679]

Thank you so much!

[@ericastannard2635]

Again, a really nice slow stitched goodie! (Everybody’s covering the whole piece of background for the Roxy’s Journal of slow stitching), so I enjoyed seeing you just position a few pieces of various fabrics in random places on the background block! Will you give this piece to your mom?! I notice that you keep your wool threads separated from the DMC, do you also separate the Perles from the 6-strand thread, but then do you intermingle the sizes 3,5,8,&12 of perle together? Oh also if the perle comes in a ball, do you re-wrap it around a card like the 6-strand? I’m just trying to figure out how to store my threads! I I really enjoyed listening to you chat while you stitched. Could you please say what you’re making for dinner if you discuss food?! I just love hearing what other people eat in a normal day & also I guess I’m just nosy! It’s fun that Lulu is so exuberant & giggly when talking with her friends & now Stefi has a new haircut!! Got a report on the whole family!! So fun! Thank you for the wonderful videos you do, I always learn a lot! Hope you had a good evening!

[@roxycreations679]

I store my thread by type and then by colour. So all of my perle are together and so on. Thank you so much!

[@marthamanigross]

Your way of putting the simplest things together and getting art out of it is so pleasing to watch, and makes me quite envious! Really loved watching this and your techniques. 🤗

Beautiful needlework. Tell us sometimes (in more detail) how you boil and then roast your potatos. Do you add oil, or?? I always get hungry when you mentioned roasting potatos in your oven. hugs..

[@roxycreations679]

I chop them up into smaller pieces (cubes), then I boil them for about 5-10 minutes. Once they have drained off we place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper, sprinkle with salt, drizzle some olive and then mix them with our hands on the tray. Add some whole cloves of garlic and bake in the oven for about an hour or until crisp and golden looking. Half way through take them out, mix and add some more salt. Let me know how you go!

[@marthamanigross]
