Episode 263 WIPS: Some Old, Some New SD 480p 

Leeann, you are not that far away! Welcome to my channel. We have a stitching meet up the second Saturday of every month at the Hall County Library in Gainesville, GA should you ever want to join us! Thanks so much for the compliment on my WIPS. Dena

@@halfstitchcrossstitch2456 I am a member of that group. We have a local meetup here in Kennesaw on the first Saturday on each month. I see the postings of the Gainesville group all the time. My sister lives closer in Cumming. We talk about making a trip to Gainesville to stitch with your group. Now I’ve got a great reason to get there.

Thank you so much! I will share your comment with JT! Dena

Karla, I am about to continue stitching on Sampler for all Seasons from yesterday for another prompt before I start today's call. Can't wait to see the results of your finish-itis!

Sarah you and I think alike! I finished Old Glory last night. Used it for the weekend pop up challenge in the Daily 30 group for several prompts to help me get the finish! Dena

Thanks Susan for the birthday wishes for JT. I will pass those along. And yes, Cocoa adores her "bubba". She tickled me barking her welcome and wagging her tail the entire time. Dena

Loretta, thanks so much for visiting again with Cocoa and me. I will share your birthday wishes with JT, thanks! Wishing you a week of Happy Stitching as well. Dena

Karen, thanks so much for the encouragement regarding Autumn in the Village. I am not even half finished with my journey piece this year. I chose two blocks on Spring at Hawk Run Hollow and I will be doing good to finish one of them. I guess in baseball that would be batting 500 which is good, but for me that is a big miss. I have not been able to go to the Hawk Run Hollow stitching Saturdays because JT has been visiting us on weekends and I hate to leave him here when he drives up for a visit. But I think that may slow down a bit as his reason for coming here every weekend has been eliminated. (Bad roommate situation that. has now resolved). I don't get to the Guild meetings because they are on Sunday and I can't get through with church and lunch and get there in time. I would be arriving as everyone was getting ready to leave. But I do miss seeing everyone! Dena

Good morning! Thanks for the well wishes for our weekend. Cocoa loves flossing her teeth. I had just missed my husband brushing her teeth. She likes to chew on the tooth brush. LOL. Dena

Nina, it has been a great stitching month so far. I picked up Kringles from the framer today and I love it. I will share it in my next video. Hope you have a great weekend of stitching! Dena

Thanks Carolyn! I finished Kringles on a Friday night and had it at the framers on Saturday morning, but I'm not in a hurry or anything. LOL. Dena

Neil, thank you for visiting again. Happy Stitching to you as well. Dena

Linda, JT is her second favorite person in the pack. LOL. Thank you for the compliment on my projects. I did finish another one yesterday unexpectedly! Used it for a prompt and got so close my finish before moving on bug hit me and I spent two days finishing it. I will share it in my next video. Dena

Caroline, you have a great birthday month. JT, my hubby and Cocoa all have August birthdays! Hope you have a great birthday month! Dena

Cocoa dearly loves her "bubba". I did have a small finish last night, so I am thrilled to have a 2nd finish here in August. Dena

Thanks so much for the compliment on Kringles! It is being framed as we speak so I hope to have it in about another week. I will pass along the birthday wishes to JT. Thanks! Dena

Kaylin, I finished Old Glory and I love it. Pretty colors! Lovely stitch. I am happy you are adding it to your list as it is a great little stitch. Cocoa sends her love. Dena

Ellen, I was so excited to get a finish last night. I will share it in my next video, but I finished Old Glory and it is really very pretty I think. Happy Stitching on all your new starts! Dena

Jeannie, congrats on your two finishes! I am so excited that I had my second finish last night on Old Glory. I will share it next week of course. Thanks also for the birthday wishes for JT. I will pass them along. Dena

Pat, I didn't see the finishes yet. Please send them again. Thanks so. much for the birthday wishes for JT. I will relay them to him. Happy stitching to you as well. Dena

Linda, now that Kringles is completed, I will probably be able to work on the Stitchers Days of Christmas much more often. I had missed it. SO glad you liked it. Dena

Carla, thanks so much for the birthday wishes for JT. Happy birthday to you as well. I also appreciate your kind comments about my stitching and I am delighted you enjoyed the video. Dena

Teresa, thanks so much for the birthday wishes to JT. I will share them with him. I have been working on ABCingo which will be the activity in the Magazine Monthly Challenge group next month and have two versions. I think I will pick the one that uses a few of my WIPS multiple times to try and get finishes quicker for those rather than the one where I put 22 different WIPs on the month. That will be new and different for me. Dena

Kelley, thank you so much for letting me know that my videos have added something to your stitching style. It is the same for me. I watch lots of Flosstube and learn things from others that I can then add to my stitching style. It is a wonderful thing when that happens. Thank you so much for the birthday wishes for JT. I will pass them along. Dena

Crystal, you are so right about Cocoa missing her daddy while he hikes. I am still pondering if I need to take Cocoa to Fred's for a few days to help her get through that time. So very glad you like the motifs in the Stitchers Days of Christmas. It is a fun stitch. Dena

Princess Stitcher, I have been feeling the finish-itis as well. I did finish Kringles, then I finished two more pieces in August. Now I have planned my September ABCingo in the Magazine Monthly Challenge group to help me with a couple more finishes! LOL. Must be the fall air. Dena

I will pass along your belated birthday wishes to JT. Thanks so much for thinking of him. Dena

Pamela, so very happy you are starting Kringles! Just take your time and enjoy the stitch. All those mini finishes are awesome. Dena

Linda, thanks so much for the encouragement on my BINGO with my small group of friends. It has been a challenge adding in a daily prompt with everything else I am doing, but I think I have gotten the hang of it. I was wise I think to make the prompts on the BINGO board match my choices for the acrostics so I can use those 100 stitches towards both activities. I don't think I would have made it otherwise. Happy Stitching! Dena

Vickie, good news! I had a second finish last night. I completed Old Glory (which was an August new start for WIPGO). Happy about that one. Dena

Susan, thank you so very much for the compliment on my WIPs. I am planning on doing some of the snow. Haven't decided if it needs all of it yet. How nice of you to say that piece reminds you of me. I'm delighted. Dena

I will definitely do that if I can. So glad you enjoyed stitching to it last year. Dena

Thanks Jean! I'll relay your wishes to him! Dena

TaMara, I am moving my attention to finishing Autumn Bell Pull next (or July Word Play). I would love to finish both by next month and get two more WIPs off my list. Dena

Thanks so very much for the birthday wishes for JT. I will pass them along to him. Dena

Carolina I wondered where you were! So glad you are back with us in the flosstube world! Can't wait to see what you are stitching. Dena

@@halfstitchcrossstitch2456 I hope to make a video soon!!

Thank you Cheryl. I will pass your comment along to JT. Dena

Thanks Holly! I see you are coming to the GaRon Stitchery retreat next September! Are you in the first weekend? I hope so! Dena

@@halfstitchcrossstitch2456 I was but all of my friends did not get in the first round so we all switched so we could be together. I wish we were going to be the same weekend!!!

@@hollyhogue9543 I am sad to hear that. I hope you are coming back to Rocket City Stitchers next year!

Hi Janet! Glad you could stop in for a visit. Happy Stitching! Dena

Linda, thanks for the birthday wishes for JT. I will pass them along. I finished another one of my WIPs last night so I will share it in my upcoming video. I wasn't planning on that finish yet but when I used it for a prompt and saw how close I was to a finish, I kept going. Can't wait to share it with you. Dena

@@halfstitchcrossstitch2456 - Hi Dena I am anxious to see your Finish - I cannot wait til I see it. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🙏🧵🪡🧵❤️

Thank you for your enthusiasm! Dena

Ohhh, but JT was brining up boiled peanuts! She loves boiled peanuts but we won't let her eat many as they are very salty. Thanks for the birthday wishes to JT! I will pass them along. Happy stitching this week. Dena
