It's Been a While<p>I never intended to be away so long... but lets get caught up. The last time I was here was before Stitch Con which I attended, it was FAB-TASTIC! I posted a video with lots of pictures of the brag table, smalls exchanges and the Keepsakes' annex for SHOPPING! I even brought home some items from the freebie table. You can watch the whole thing on my YouTube channel, the link is on the right. </p><p>I worked on and finished "The Right to Vote" from Mani di Donna. It is a tradition to ring Pam & Steph's (Just Keep Stitchin') bell when you have finish at Stitch Con and of course I rang the bell. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyl3rx-6DtxsdADh3CLjy_3EQ1XonNTdcnNb9WYbnl-HOoEDGNYR0KDI7GSBRrhvQVSvilimhhzurQ1XLsD5j4Ds2X0R8VQ_P06gdPBjTrCBeImW7azbap8hHn04aWgRDV_ZuWu6E6N_o/s2048/The+Right+to+Vote.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1329" data-original-width="2048" height="130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyl3rx-6DtxsdADh3CLjy_3EQ1XonNTdcnNb9WYbnl-HOoEDGNYR0KDI7GSBRrhvQVSvilimhhzurQ1XLsD5j4Ds2X0R8VQ_P06gdPBjTrCBeImW7azbap8hHn04aWgRDV_ZuWu6E6N_o/w200-h130/The+Right+to+Vote.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><p>I also participated in another Stitch Con tradition which is to have a new start and mine was "A Haunting We Will Go" from Keslyn's.

I got rave reviews at the Needle Fest-Summer Get Away Retreat hosted by "The Boys" from Needleworkers Delight/ Silkweavers. The fabric is a little unusual for this design but it works perfectly. It is called Pele's Fire from Under the Sea Fabrics. This goes to show not everything has to be stitched on white. Speaking of white fabric, I started a new design at Needle Fest, this design was just finished by Shelia of The Sunshine Stitchers on You tube and it is gorgeous. It is ABC de la Brodeuse from Jardin Prive', it was a SAL with my friend Jan to start at Needle Fest. We decided it was easier to call this piece "Aida Button" and not try to pronounce the actual name which is French.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHdN2vBKOjSZPQj4sS7QCf9mnyFLN2dR_FmIeAI7xW6ozb2MW9IEi2Iz6rDxIVFs1Gcxn-OHEMJVdgkDv-nm4uBc9HqZFAjrn1nKmsSWfdvw9qSNTgFMcv2mU5FimafLqooDQgf9B01VI/s2048/IMG_E4099.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1265" data-original-width="2048" height="124" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHdN2vBKOjSZPQj4sS7QCf9mnyFLN2dR_FmIeAI7xW6ozb2MW9IEi2Iz6rDxIVFs1Gcxn-OHEMJVdgkDv-nm4uBc9HqZFAjrn1nKmsSWfdvw9qSNTgFMcv2mU5FimafLqooDQgf9B01VI/w200-h124/IMG_E4099.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have stitched on it since the retreat and this is where it is right now.

Now that I am fully vaccinated I have ventured out a few times (still wearing my mask). I went to the Woodlawn Needlework Exhibition and I met face to face with two of the lovely ladies that had ribbon winning entries at Woodlawn. They are Deb from stitches_of_heritage on Instagram and Miasia from stitching_in_color on Instagram. I've also had a couple of lunches in restaurants with the hubby.</p><p> I will be flying to Cincinnati next Thursday for STITCH-CON! Mask and gloves on and a package of sanitizing wipes. My flosstube started off with what I like to call the "Magic Q-Snap" loosely based on the magic mirror from the old Romper Room shows. (Probably way before your time) Anyway I give a shout-out to all of my previous video commenters, just a little extra thank you.</p><p> I shared my WIPGO pieces for April, May and Junes.

I posted a new video on flosstube (Youtube) and almost let writing this post for it get away from me. First, I want to say thank you to everyone who left a comment on my last post. If you have any questions about anything I post, please leave it in the comments and I will answer as soon as possible. The first thing I shared in Haul Heavy Flosstube #66 was my two WIPGO projects for the month of March. The numbers called for March were 10 and 24.</p><p> My #10 was a free design from Owl Forest Embroidery called "Emerald City" it is their take on the "Wizard of Oz" and I stitched it on a 32 count Jobelan called "Hurricane" from Under the Sea Fabrics. The floss is all DMC. As you will see in the photo I changed the skin tones to reflect me a little more and I am very happy with the way it turned out. My goal for this one was to finish the stitching, goal accomplished!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWHr9oExg0r734CpYCyKzfHIxiqiD2qf6LHbFEZr_sg4G-a4s2vkpF3riOHBB0l26ENMR55VQewhhL2qmwQzIEmE7VDbKFHkt6lylo8Et4dZN1iIs0VoEC8030w2rRatdyrkuqy2AU_9A/s1527/Emerald+City.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1527" data-original-width="1277" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWHr9oExg0r734CpYCyKzfHIxiqiD2qf6LHbFEZr_sg4G-a4s2vkpF3riOHBB0l26ENMR55VQewhhL2qmwQzIEmE7VDbKFHkt6lylo8Et4dZN1iIs0VoEC8030w2rRatdyrkuqy2AU_9A/w269-h320/Emerald+City.JPG" width="269" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>My #24 was Fairy Delight Biscornu from Joan Elliott Design, it is stitched on 14 count Aida that I got with the chart as a gift.

The floss is silk from Almond MnMs on Instagram and the colors are "Wine" and "Frosty Slate". This is only my second time stitching a design with silk, it is so easy to stitch with, it glides through the fabric. This design was started as part of a SAL (stitch-a-long) hosted by a fellow flosstuber by the name of Abi Bellastitch as a tribute to Asian Americans that have been attacked and mistreated in this country during this pandemic. The SAL is #Stitch Asia and it could be any Asian related design, by an Asian designer, using fabric or floss dyed by an Asian dyer, etc. I love this design and the silk but after about two weeks I had to move on to something else, for the rest of the month.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFMQqzVKsFieefvKu6LCASCU40R7TR4w0ZmA4g3ybL2REmQQFQAucjdNxG4UbLmTDj26E56xEYUO6VRwaAW1BTONKUgPqM6VtGkeAw_G5Zq68irgTKLqo5Y5QU6yvrG4ljBjvdiADfQKk/s2048/IMG_E3864.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1438" data-original-width="2048" height="141" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFMQqzVKsFieefvKu6LCASCU40R7TR4w0ZmA4g3ybL2REmQQFQAucjdNxG4UbLmTDj26E56xEYUO6VRwaAW1BTONKUgPqM6VtGkeAw_G5Zq68irgTKLqo5Y5QU6yvrG4ljBjvdiADfQKk/w200-h141/IMG_E3864.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsOb1CjyosM5deUQHmEfzAhG2LXxZNw9yeezM5m_XROobVcaDBEISW038SVhH3drd7AC6O3jJbe9zkrQn21qbWH_z4vdSD2pKkwocyptxyAzEffv4cnAtf6X6ujF69VyWlg6F4BuimMl8/s1635/IMG_E3826.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1635" data-original-width="1274" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsOb1CjyosM5deUQHmEfzAhG2LXxZNw9yeezM5m_XROobVcaDBEISW038SVhH3drd7AC6O3jJbe9zkrQn21qbWH_z4vdSD2pKkwocyptxyAzEffv4cnAtf6X6ujF69VyWlg6F4BuimMl8/w156-h200/IMG_E3826.JPG" width="156" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p> So I decided to work on and finished another one of my wips that could also qualify for #Stitch Asia and it was "Henna Cat" from Soda Stitch.

I am not a real sampler girl but this one and her story as to why she designed it really touched me and I had to stitch it. Mine is stitched on 32 ct.

There is a board set up like Bingo and this challenge is hosted by a fellow flosstuber - "Jessie Does Stuff". You assign your choice of WIPs and goals to the blocks on the board in any order and number them 1-12, free space, 14-25. The host will call two numbers per month or a third if the free space is called, the challenge is to accomplish your preset goal during the year 2021. Last year each goal had to be reached by the end of the month the number was called. (That's how I will be playing this year too it's more of a challenge for me).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;">In my flosstube video #61 I showed all of my 2020 WIPs you can check them out there. The numbers called for January's WIPGO are 6,13(free space) and 18, since I filled in my free space with a wip I'll have 3 goals for the month and they are a finish on:</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKxunMrgBj1nYvRgqypOMPZUJPSBGEK55QthWXxqRGhoI0rCEsKhajN8-MzJcM-SyLf9Z_MjK8BmsJpIuYEhfNOcnJyRSe7leMQOJdt6tLMniMhvsf4nIIyJEjY3VgrEbyhUodJm8Pwt8/s1517/Partriotic+Lady.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1517" data-original-width="1215" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKxunMrgBj1nYvRgqypOMPZUJPSBGEK55QthWXxqRGhoI0rCEsKhajN8-MzJcM-SyLf9Z_MjK8BmsJpIuYEhfNOcnJyRSe7leMQOJdt6tLMniMhvsf4nIIyJEjY3VgrEbyhUodJm8Pwt8/s320/Partriotic+Lady.JPG" /></a></div>1.

I know I am the worst blogger ever, I go away and forget about you... but I've returned to do a wrap-up of 2018. In my August posts I had gone to Stitch Con in Cincinnati, OH (which I will be going to again in 2019), since then I've been gone, I went to two other retreats. One in Harrisburg, PA and one in Herndon, VA (that was a local one). They were so much fun, I've been on another Bahama cruise and enjoyed my first trip to NOLA (New Orleans, LA). 2018 was a pretty good for me as far as travel goes and I hope to continue in the future. As for cross stitching there have been lots of finishes, some FFOs, and videos. In case you don't know I make what is known as Flosstube videos on Youtube. I share some of my travels and my stitching, of course you get to see me! If you are at all interested my channel is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVU1Dumb-g-tPtndVFzYUmg">Minnie Gray - AllXXs</a> , I make new videos about once a month. I am now on Instagram @minniegray5806, there I share a few times a week with stitching updates. If you would like to see all of my stitchy finishes for 2018 there is a new tab at the top of my page here, if you have questions about any of the designs please leave a comment and I will try to answer them. Of course I have wips and there are a few I'll insert pictures and captions below. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and I wish all of my followers a very Happy, Safe, Productive and Stitchy New Year!<br />

As you can see I was very busy in 2018 and I suspect 2019 will be about the same. My neglect of this blog was not intentional and I will try to be better in this new year (no promises). I truly appreciate all of you for hanging with me through my absence and I hope you enjoy the finishes and wips. Please join me in making some of those wonderful little xxs!Minniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09030452992987907889noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486608300374826174.post-7129488141087505752018-08-20T18:18:00.000-07:002018-08-20T18:18:46.637-07:00IHSW Update August 2018I just wanted to show that I am still at it!

I did a small conversion of the skin tone but everything else is as charted. I will as always leave the beading for last and there will be plenty. I stitched on this one exclusively until I ran out of the red Kreinik in the border so for a couple of days she sat watching me while I started a small piece from the 2018 Halloween issue of Just Cross Stitch magazine. When I went to stitch night at my LNS on Wednesday I picked up more Kreinick and finished the small "Hanging With My Boo!"<br />

I just loved this little ornament and it looks great on the 28ct linen from Under the Sea Fabrics called Lycan's Moon. So now you know what I've been up to and it time to make some more of those wonderful little xxs.Minniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09030452992987907889noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486608300374826174.post-74716832599240816312018-08-01T08:35:00.003-07:002018-08-01T08:35:42.808-07:00It's been so long...But this will be an exciting post. First let's check out my long (you may want to finish reading this post first)<a href="https://youtu.be/l39uiz3QGi0"> Stitch Con</a> video. Now you know what Stitch Con was, so if you ever have a chance to go to a retreat take it and go. Retreats are so much fun. I know that was a long video so you can imagine what writing a blog post would have been like. I'm sorry that I took so long to get back here but July was kind of busy. My husband and I went to Las Vegas right after I got back from Cincinnati for the 4th of July and I have been doing a lot of stitching. My first thing I finished after Stitch Con was a small piece that I started there and it is:<br />

After I stitched that small JE design I wanted to put another one in my wips so I started Rose Goddess. I also used it as the first day "J" in a SAL on Flosstube and InstaGram hosted by a Flosstuber who's channel name is "Jessie Marie Does Stuff". Jessie's channel is turning 5 years old and I think that is a big accomplishment so I joined in to help her celebrate.<br />

Sorry, this is the only way I could figure out how to share the instructions I hope you are able to read them. Once I have had more practice making these myself I will put out a better instruction sheet (maybe even with pictures) and maybe even a video tutorial. Well I thank you for staying this long if you are reading this, I appreciate you all, if you've been here before and came back or if you're new welcome and hope you'll come back again too. It's time to go make some more of those wonderful little xxs.</div>

I have a lot to share since my last post. In May I participated in a SAL from Facebook called "Stitch Maynia", when originally stated in 2015 you were to start 15 new charts in the first 15 days of the month. Now the SAL has evolved to starting as many new starts as your want for as many days as you want, some start 15, some 18 for 2018, some even start 31 for the entire month of May. I counted and I had twenty something wips already in my wip bag so I didn't go too crazy. I only started 8 for the first eight days of May and I went back and worked on some of them for the rest of the month. I even finished a few! Here they are:<br />

I loved stitching on each one of these so much it was hard to move to the next one the next day. As I said after these eight days I went back and worked on them again I finished five of the eight:<br />

As if you needed to be told who this is... I started this chart thinking that it would be another for my wip bag but it was so amazing watching the image come to life I just couldn't put in it down so instead of being a wip it became a finish. I got this design from crasscross.com/collections/celebrity-patterns <br />

This was another piece that I started and couldn't put down so it became a finish too. It is He Is Risen from Little House Needleworks.<div>

The Wipocalypse question for this month was "What do you listen to while stitching?" Well most of the time I am listening to the TV and when there are new flosstube videos I listen to them. Well that's about all for this post see you soon and happy stitching.</div>

This little cutie is just one of the three designs included in the Britter Cup Designs Bunnies Galore chart. I just love those floppy ears. It is stitched on 28 ct off-white evenweave, I used Weeks- Havana and GAST- Cranberry for some needed variegation.<br />

This is one of my oldest and favorites, it is Connie Gee's (Connie Barwick) 2015-2016 Diamond Mystery SAL. I used all DMC variations and Coloris flosses on 18ct Ivory Aida. I loved seeing how each of the diamonds would turn out with thoses flosses.<br />

As you can see I actually FFOed this one, it is one of two designs from Noteworthy Needle. I picked this chart up at a retreat I went to last year. I stitched it on 14ct Oatmeal Aida and to get that burlap affect the bag is stitched with a mixture of two different colors. I added brown beads to the bag of coffee beans for a 3D affect. I had a lot of fun with this one. A wonderful lady sent me this coffee bean fabric I used to make the little pillow. I love it!<br />

Johnny Appleseed from Silver Creek Samplers was fun to stitch, it was mostly letters but there were also pictures that added a little something different that attracted me. It's on 28ct Lugana in Truffle from Picture This Plus and I used all DMC.<br />

As a challenge I issued to myself, I attempted to make some project bags. The white zipper front was interesting to make and not too difficult, with the lining and having none of the seams show. I think I did a pretty good job on this one. The clear-front bag is another story. If I decide to use up the large piece of clear vinyl I bought and try another, I may have to make some adjustments to the guide I followed or at least read it all the way through first. Now the last one is inspired by the "Finishing Guru" as I call her Vonna Pfeiffer also known as "The Twisted Stitcher". After watching her video tutorial, if I couldn't make this bag there was something really wrong with me. She made it so easy to do. Thank you Vonna!<br />
Well I think I have bored you for long enough so I'll return now to making some wonderful little xxs. Have a great day and happy stitching!Minniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09030452992987907889noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486608300374826174.post-71403885996152393842018-04-01T15:59:00.002-07:002018-04-01T15:59:58.148-07:00Happy Easter and Wip UpdateTo all of my followers and visitors I hope you had the Happiest Easter ever!<br />

I have been busy stitching away and I have 12 small finishes for the year but I'll save those for the next post. The question asked for the Wipocalypse was "Do you use stretcher bars, hoops, q-snaps or lap-frames and why? My answer is I use q-snaps, hoops and scroll frames. I recently purchased my first set of Rolaframes, but I haven't used them yet (would require another new start) I am very impressed with their workmanship. I used to only use hoops but I found it hard to get the circles out of my pieces so when I found out about q-snaps I switched to them and I love that they are so light weight and I can hold the small to medium size in my hand to stitch. My Linen and Threads Mystery Sampler was the largest piece I think I've ever worked on and I used my scroll frame. I have not used stretcher bars before but I've heard they work great for really small items. <br />
Well I guess I should go and make some more wonderful little xxs.

As for my blogging, it was a very short year, I think I had taken on too many things with no organization and some things just fell by the way side. However if you have waited for me to get my act together I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for still being here. I have started posting my 2017 finishes in a separate page at the top of my blog so I won't take up this whole space. Here I will show a couple of special finishes from last year. In my last post I showed a picture of "Sea Goddess" from Joan Elliott I was working just finishing up the back stitch, well she is a special finish I want to show here:<br />

I put the last stitches in this one on the 27th of December, I think I stitched a couple of weeks on this one exclusively just to finish it before the end of the year. It was a real labor of love and hopefully I'll get it FFO'd later this year (probably a wall hanging). It's stitched on 32 ct. Lugana and is still 31 inches long, framing would be really expensive.<br />
There were several other new starts that I also finished in 2017,take a look in my page up top for those. I only have three finishes for 2018 so far they are:<br />

Well I will stop rambling and go make some wonderful little xxs and I'll be back soon to show all of my current wips. Thank you all for following me I really appreciate it that you find me and what I have to show interesting. Happy Stitching!Minniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09030452992987907889noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486608300374826174.post-33789260647091154952017-08-24T15:02:00.001-07:002017-08-24T15:02:12.212-07:00What's New?I know it has been a very long time but I think you will forgive me after you see what all I have to share. I had not mentioned this in any other post but sadly our little "Bud" was put to rest back in February. It is only now that we have decided to get another pet, so we adopted a kitten. His name is Smokey and I affectionately call him the "smoke monster" from the old TV series "LOST". The smoke monster attacked quickly and silently, which is Smokey.<br />

Okay, lets get to what you are really here for... STITCHING!<br />
We will start with my current WIP report, I will show pictures of the wips I actually worked on. The first is Marquise by Jardin Prive'<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have added several of the small motifs to this one. I would have gotten farther but I ran out of the outline floss so of course I had to move on to something else. The next wip is Hot Chocolate by Alessandra Adelaide.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As you can see it no longer looks like an owl, there is steam from the hot chocolate and part of the cup rim. Stitching on this fabric ( Coffee Bean) is sometimes a little difficult to see, but I love the way it looks. Next is Pretty Little Chicago by Satsuma Street.<br />

Chicago is definitely living up to it's nickname "The Windy City" I can almost fill the chill. Next is my old friend the Sea Goddess by Joan Elliott.</div>

I am absolutely loving stitching this one. It started as a Facebook SAL and I can't put is down even knowing my other two SALs will get behind. I also have a few other new starts, they are Four Freedoms by Little House Needleworks.</div>

This was one of my starts for July which everyone on Facebook is calling patriotic month so I had to join in. The other one is called Seeds of Freedom by Silver Creek Samplers. Stitched on coffee and tea dyed fabric following Vonna Pfeiffer's bake and baste instructions.</div>

Long Time No SeeI know that is what everyone is thinking. Sorry sometimes life gets in the way of everything, Anyway I have a bit to share, so here we go. If you are in any of the Facebook groups you probably heard that May 1st was the beginning of Stitch Maynia. I selected to work only on wips for my Maynia so I set up a list of smalls I could take with me on my cruise. To be totally honest the most stitching I did while on vacation was actually on the plane to and from Florida. It was on a piece I had just recently started call "This Is How We Brew It" from Hand On Designs. It is part of a 9 piece series, so far I only have the first three. This is being stitched on 28ct Lugana called Iris from Under the Sea Fabrics.<br />

Stitching on a different wip each day was hard to do because I love all of my wips and once I picked one up and started stitching on it, it was really hard to bag it back up and work on something different the next day, but I really enjoyed my Stitch Maynia. I wanted to answer the Wipocalypse question for April it was, "What projects are in my UFO pile?" As I said I love all of my wips so there isn't a UFO pile, they will all be finished eventually. The question for May is "Which designer's projects do you absolutely love, but are too intimidated to try?" Well there isn't just one designer, it is the group of designers that work for Heaven and Earth designs. Some of the charts are gorgeous but they are all full coverage and I am not intimidated by them, I just know myself and full coverage pieces drive me crazy. It's like you stitch and stitch and you never see the end. Well, thank you so much if you have stayed and read this whole post. Thank you all for remaining followers of my blog, I really do appreciate you visiting and I love reading all of the wonderful comments that I receive. Having said that I have picked out four charts I am offering to you in appreciation. If you are a follower and are interested in one or all four of the charts below, leave me a comment and let me know which you would like or just say all. I will make a drawing on June 22, 2017. I will ship to anywhere. Good luck and I'm off to make some more wonderful little xxs.<br />

This one is the Linen & Thread SAL. I'm getting close to finishing the March band so I can start April's on time. I used a gift from a subscriber to my flosstube channel and stitched this piece, it is from the WOCS magazine design library by Durene Jones. (issue 252).</div>

This month's question is "What stitchy blogs, groups or flosstube do you follow, and why? Well as my fellow blogger Jo at Serendipitous Stitching said I follow quit a few blogs also. I love reading about and seeing close-up pictures of beautiful stitching and having a little visit with other bloggers. It's like reading letters from friends. I also belong to several Facebook stitching groups, I get a chance to actually interact with my favorite designers and other stitchers from all over the world. A lot of the stitchers have decided on to make flosstube (youtube) videos, including myself. With flosstube you can watch or just listen to (while you stitch ) wonderful stitchers talk about their progress updates, their lives and most fun of all their new stash. I love having my friends stop by to keep me company while I stitch and I make my videos to return the favor. You can watch my videos <a href="http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVU1Dumb-g-tPtndVFzYUmg">here</a> . I'm off now to make some more wonderful little xxs. </div>
