I love all your outfits & jewelry, so put together, even on vacation! Lovely stitching, as always🎉

Glad you had a great vacation and got lots of stitching done.Thank you for sharing your beautiful work and also Cocoa having fun. Happy stitching

Hi Dena, thanks for sharing your vacation and sharing your lovely stitching. Tomorrow my husband and I are getting on a cruse. The Flosstube at sea one, very excited. Have a good week. 😊🪡

Cocoa is funny exploring her turf. I’m glad you had a chance to go to Annabella. Thank you for sharing your stitching and time.

Wonderful to see you Dena! I love your WIPs , old and new. I’ve added that redwork pattern to my list. It’s beautiful. Glad that you enjoyed your stay in the cabin. Thanks for sharing the shop. Wow, what a beautiful shop! Thanks also for the wonderful glimpse of Cocoa. Happy Stitching!

So glad you and hubby and Cocoa enjoyed your trip - your stitching is just beautiful - so enjoyed the video

Deanna I love seeing your trip videos and stitching. Coco had so much fun. It made me smile.

So glad you had a great trip! Looked like a wonderful place to spend your days stitching with all that natural light pouring in those windows & the nice view. Thanks for the peak inside Anabella's. Until next time, have a great week Dena & happy stitching! 😊

Love all your WIPs and your vacation destination. And the fact that it was close enough to shop at Anabella's was the cherry on top. If Tommy fusses about you buying cross stitch patterns, you tell him it's cheaper than therapy. lol 😄😄😄 Love sweet Cocoa, she may not always know it but thanks to y'all she is living her best life.

Hi Dena, thanks for taking us on vacation with you and sharing your stitching and Anabella's. Nice haul! I was contemplating Santa's house but when I heard the size of it, I'm holding of for now. Sleep over this weekend with Caleb and Layla! Fingers crossed they sleep thru the night! Lol. Happy stitching! Lori 💕

Hi Dena. Thank you for sharing your vacation and your beautiful stitching. Isn't Annabella's beautiful. I would love to go there sometime. Cocoa looked like she was enjoying her vacation too. The patterns you chose are beautiful. I just love the Christmas Parade and Santa's house. As always, I will be looking forward to seeing you again soon. Take good care.

Your vacation sounds so relaxing. Beautiful new charts, specially christmas tree and stitching. Great finish. Happy stitching

Lovely Stitching. Enjoyed seeing your cabin and your tour of Annabella. Thanks for sharing. ❤😊Happy Stitching ❤

Thanks for sharing your vacation with us! Annabella’s is gorgeous! Love log cabins! Cocoa ❤

Hello Dena loved seeing your haul very exciting. Enjoy your stitching.

What a nice cabin. Glad you had a good time. Halloween quakers will be very nice. Redworks pears is ready to start sometime this year as is Sampler for all Seasons. I look forward to seeing your progress. Happy stitching 🪡🪡

Wonderful to see you Dena...it is always nice to have you visit...your patterns are beautiful...Dena you and Cocoa are certainly a welcome to my house anytime...wishing you the best❤❤

Your little cabin looked so cozy and adorable! And ma’am, your outfits are always so gorgeous and on point! I do hope to be like you when I grow up! For a second, at the end of your video, I thought Cocoa was running around in a bunch of snow! Welcome home!

Awww. Waynesville! We lived there for four years many years ago. We loved it. Next time you are in Waynesville and are heading toward Lake Junaluska, look up on the hill at the red light and you should be able to see the Church of the Nazarene. My husband was pastor there when the church was built. I wish Annabelle’s was in town when we lived there. I would’ve probably frequented it more than I should have. Lol.

Hey Dena. I have had Redwork Pears kitted for awhile now and after watching your video I’m excited to start it. Thanks for sharing😊

Love your new purchases! Some of them are on my wish list and some have been added to my wish list.

Hi Dena, I have spent the afternoon catching up on your videos for January while I was stitching myself. Such a great afternoon. You have been so busy and lucky to go to a stitching store, that would be a delight for me. Very few in the UK and miles from me. You seem more busy this year with two daily bringo challenges. I look forward to seeing how this goes for you, I think it would be a bit too much changing projects for me. I have been more productive with joining WIPGO last year after watching you in previous years. Looking forward to watching you for another year x

Dena - What a cute little cozy cabin for your getaway! Happy stitching! - TaMara

Sounds like a fun getaway Dena. Thanks for sharing info about Arabella's. It looks like a cozy shop.

I would love to see all of your patterns that you purchased…🎉🎉🎉 would cheer you on!

Really enjoyed your video! The cabin is beautiful and what a treat going to Anabella’s!

Hi Dena Looks like you had a great time on your Vacation. During the Winter Months I mostly stay home. Where I live at we get really bad weather during the Winter Months. I am a home body person. I love staying home. Love your WIPS - making great progress on them. They are so pretty. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🙏🧵🪡🧵❤️

Hi Dena it looks like you had fun

Had to laugh when you said you hadn’t showed your husband what you bought at Annabella’s. We don’t have a needlework shop near where we live so I order most of purchases. Yesterday I got 3 packages in the mail and Dan my husband said jokingly that the mailman appreciated me as I was job security for him. Lol. Glad you had a great vacation and got to shop at Annabella’s.

Wheeee❤

I look forward to your videos every week. I have to say Deena you always look great i love the attention to detail you take in your wardrobe. But, and i say but in definitely not a derogatory view, But you look Fabulous in that off white sweater with i believe is a purple blouse. Your cardigan has a pattern, But!! You are just Lit Up!! You just Shine!! Just thought you should know. I always ask my husband of he likes my outfit and he always says Do you like it? I want to dress so my husband is proud of me when we walk down the street or into a restaurant. You definitely make your husband "proud " when you are together! I don't necessarily like the term proud I would much prefer Honored! As we should Honor our spouses. Long story short you look Fabulous in tbat cream Colored cardigan and purple blouse!!!

Your video popped up just in time for me to relax and watch! How was your vacation? Looks like you had a great time! I loved your shares and your dog Coco at the end was so fun to watch. Such a cutie! Happy stitching! 🤗

I love your projects and was wondering about the Erica Michael's berry that you are stitching. Does it have any 1 over 1 stitches? I have one of her patterns but when I examined it 😢discovered 1 over 1. . Happy stitching😊
