It may be so-called "Thursday" for most of you, but it's technically Wednesday today in our house so...schedule intact!

@sherryzimmerman9220 11 месяцев назад

Michelle……. You Make Me Smile…..your energy and self- deprecation are charming …….your creativity inspires us to have fun….

@TheGiddyStitcher 11 месяцев назад

If there's one thing I'm actually decent at in this world, it is definitely putting myself down lol. Glad it's appreciated 😂

@Sallysews 11 месяцев назад

You always give me a laugh or two! Thanks for sharing, Michelle.

@TheGiddyStitcher 11 месяцев назад

This makes me very happy. Thanks for the lovely comment! 🥰

@karenmiller1105 11 месяцев назад

Your hair looks amazing. And LOVE that bralette and skirt. Adorable outfit

@TheGiddyStitcher 11 месяцев назад

Thanks! Dave went away last weekend and left me unsupervised so I *may* have broken out the hair scissors and done some experiments...

@karenbrooks7197 11 месяцев назад

Hi Michelle, enjoying your humour and a catch up with your projects. Hope you're loving your Eurovision celebrity status! ❤ Your dress rocked!

@TheGiddyStitcher 11 месяцев назад

Haha, you can imagine how excited I was it was completely ridiculous. Best day ever!

@LauraSallaerts1 11 месяцев назад

Look who became a sewing wizard! 😱 I'm genuinely very impressed 👏

@TheGiddyStitcher 11 месяцев назад

Honestly, me too! I mean, I guess putting pockets into a seam and following a very simple tutorial on how to make a curved line instead of a straight one probably isn't all THAT advanced, but it's definitely the sort of thing I'd have thought twice about pre-wedding-dress-disaster. NO MORE FEAR! RAAAAR! 💪

@LauraSallaerts1 11 месяцев назад

@TheGiddyStitcher Yeees 💪 You're an inspiration! Maybe I should attempt a self-made wedding dress even though I have no intention of marrying, just for the skill improvement 😂

@Holly_hamigakiko 11 месяцев назад

Genuinely happy to see you post and I haven’t even watched it yet. Just want to pop in and say I love your videos; you have such a love manner in front of the camera, I find your videos really enjoyable to watch. Wish more RU-vidrs were like you! I’ve only just found your channel recently so I’m really looking forward to watching all your previous videos too.

@TheGiddyStitcher 11 месяцев назад

Aw thank you so much! This is so sweet! Don't scroll too far into the past though, some of those older videos are janky with a capital JANK 😂

@Holly_hamigakiko 11 месяцев назад

I'm a teacher, and when I look back at my old lessons from years ago, I have the exact same feeling. I'm sure they're not as bad as you think. May I ask, where about in the North are you? It's so rare to hear a northern accent on here! We're from Huddersfield (near Manchester) so fellow northerners!

@samvanderkooy7314 11 месяцев назад

Hi, so glad to see a Crafter's Log! The updates on your various projects are always my favourite. It feels like chatting with a friend. ☺ I'm excited for the cross stitch patterns you're designing and really like the black lacy tops you're putting together. Also, your Eurovision dress was really nice. I confess I also buy a lot of patterns (although for me they're cross stitch ones) never know when I'll actually have the time to make them. 😅 It's been a long time since I've cross stitched though, and while I miss it I also find it stressful at the moment, but I know I'll come back to it eventually. Anyways, right now I'm just focusing on making wire trees as I'm really enjoying trying out a bunch of different techniques. 😄 I hope you have a good week!

@ros7007 11 месяцев назад

I love Satsuma Street patterns. I'm currently stitching Impossible and I have Garden Cat for next.

@TheGiddyStitcher 11 месяцев назад

Excellent taste! I love her stuff, honestly I'd probably be happy just slowly stitching my way through most of her shop if the colours went better with our walls 😂

@zlatipeycheva6534 11 месяцев назад

I like all of your stiching projects. They look nice, especially the bralette. :)

@TheGiddyStitcher 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! I'm so excited to flounce around in my new outfit 😀

@winternightmarecrochet 11 месяцев назад

I love the eurovision dress, it's excellent :D it's really cool that you met someone from online!

@TheGiddyStitcher 11 месяцев назад

It's been a month and a half and I'm still a bit in shock lol, seriously what are the chances?! Although ext time we go (which I am assuming will happen at some point, fingers crossed) I'll have to step it up with some face paint and glitter. Was still somehow one of the less dressed up in attendance 😅

@babsbee4081 11 месяцев назад

I like your style of making these clips. Making them fun to listen to and watch. I envy your sewing skills…my expertise level is sewing a missing button and at a push, fixing a loose hem…! 😂

@TheGiddyStitcher 11 месяцев назад

Thanks! Clearly you just need to publicly fail at sewing a wedding dress, that seems to cure all nervousness and somehow impart newfound skillz.

@stitchinglis 11 месяцев назад

So many great projects! Love seeing you work on your own designs too. Your cruise wardrobe is going to be so perfect!

@TheGiddyStitcher 11 месяцев назад

Summer cruise witch HYPE! 😂

@emilyhobbs5896 3 месяца назад

Had to give this a rewatch after your recent Eurovision cross stitch post. That kimono dress with the flags has been on my mind! So cute. May have to try this and catch up on Eurovision stateside. Apparently Finland is always a bit out there? 😂

@victoriavega9694 7 месяцев назад

Love the progress on your projects! Maybe I need to be more determined with just doing a bit here and there whenever I can instead of waiting until I have a big chunk of time. Maybe id make more progress that way....hmmmmm

@marie-low-stresslife7374 11 месяцев назад

What a great catch-up video! 😊 There are so many good/funny parts that I can't talk about all of them in a comment! 🤭 "Cruise witch" was by far the most unexpected, I love it haha! You're creating some lovely items of clothing, I especially love the skirt + top with the green leaves! 🥰 Also loving seeing you create some cross-stitch patterns yourself! PS: So cute you put the wedding bouquet in the background! 🤭🥰

@TheGiddyStitcher 11 месяцев назад

Yes I totally put there as artful scenery and not just because....where the heck do you keep a wedding bouquet? Lol. I'm an absolute sewing whirlwind at the moment, at least by my usual standards, so hopefully will have a lot more cruise (witch) wear to show off soon too!

@maryannjohnson5410 11 месяцев назад

Nice to catch up with you and your projects! You're going to have your Satsuma Street project done before I get mine done. It's looking great! Just a heads up that 24 Hocs is coming up July 21st -23rd. Love all of your projects and I'm glad you had a good time at Eurovision. Have an awesome weekend!

@TheGiddyStitcher 11 месяцев назад

Haha, I totally looked up the dates of the next one while filming this and put it in my calendar so for once, for this one time, I am actually informed in advance! Of course there's also a local knitting group on on that Saturday, and a game jam too, so....we'll see lol 😅

@maryannjohnson5410 11 месяцев назад

@@TheGiddyStitcher There's always Friday and Sunday for stitching and you need a break from the game jam once in awhile right? You could make yours a 24 hours of crafting instead of cross stitch and then the knitting would count.

@retrocraftdreams 11 месяцев назад

Woo! Welcome back! The lemon top sounds (and looks!) tasty! I love cute food patterns! I don't know if you can buy it separately, but I wonder if DMCs fluorescent yellow would be bright enough for you. I am terrible with social media. I want (and probably need) to get better. Instagram has been a headache for me for years and never worked properly on my phones. Then when I started this youtube, they wouldn't let me make a new account at all without sending a video with personal information and I just ran the other way. Made a reddit that I comment with plenty, but never post because I get hung up on all the different subs' rules. I tried to look into mastodon when twitter was first imploding (not that I used it much because it's a void, but I was encouraged by the idea of a new platform being populated), but got so confused by all the instances (?) and couldn't even figure out which one to make an account on. Then I got distracted and forgot all about it. Maybe I should give it another look. I'll probably still be rubbish at using it, but you never know.

@TheGiddyStitcher 11 месяцев назад

Oh don't even get me started with Instagram right now I swear, half the time I can't even reply to comments and it's not like I'm on an outdated phone! And now that Reddit is imploding too I've been spending a ton of time on Lemmy which is currently very janky and wild west and "the internet in about 2007" lol it's very exciting. But yeah social media is somehow the best and the worst all at once, I find. As far as Mastodon goes (in case you do decide to try again), on my gamedev account I recently used their feature to move to another instance and it worked flawlessly so tbh I don't think initial choice is even a big deal. (p.s. flouro yellow sounds like it might be just the thing, thanks!)
