Episode 306 May Monday Starts & Other Stitching SD 480p 

Sooo good to see and share ALL of your stitchy progress!! Enjoy your cruise and take plenty of pictures!! Hope Coco's leg is better. HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2024!!

Hello Dena, loved hearing how far ahead you are forming a plan for a finish, including framing, on Snow & Mountains. I found that very useful so thank you for sharing that with us. Your T-shirt was just brilliant! I hope you have a wonderful trip and you have a lovely time meeting your fellow stitchers. I hope both Tommy and Cocoa are recovered - they certainly looked to be having a lot of fun with the unboxing. Happy stitching, Teresa 📦

So glad that Coco is not seriously ill or badly injured and will recover with rest and good care. Good luck getting him to not overdo. You are making great progress on your Nativity. Those wings are just so detailed and your stitching is beautiful as it is with everything.

One of my favorite things about our stitchy groups is the new info I get, whether that be new charts, new flosstubes, or new groups to join. I’m sorry about poor Coco’s sprain, hope she (and your hubs!) feels better soon!

I am so glad you are able to meet your friends in person because of your cruise. It will be very special for you. I have been able to meet the Bos Stitchers, Jane and Chris, from Boston because we made the effort to connect when in each others’ cities. I flew to Boston in September to start a cruise and they came to the hotel where I stayed the night before and we spent some precious time together stitching. This past month, they came to Stitch North in Toronto and I drove to meet them at the retreat location and we went out for supper together. So nice to build the friendship. As an aside, the cruise from Boston was with a group of cross stitchers! The trip was organized by Jean Farish and her daughters, Catherine and Elizabeth. Their company, Stitchers Escapes, does 2 or 3 cruises each year. I went with my cross stitching sister-in-law and we had a marvelous trip. From Boston, we went north around the Canadian Maritime provinces, up the St. Lawrence River to Quebec City and then back to Boston. Our Canadian ports included Halifax, NS and Charlottetown, PEI. I would do it again in a heartbeat because we had so much fun with approx 100 cross stitchers. My husband doesn’t care to travel but he doesn’t mind if I go. Christine from Ontario

Have a fabulous trip. It is always great to meet new friends, it's one of my favorite parts of going to retreats. Happy Coco is on the mend.

Hi Dena! I hope you're enjoying your trip visiting the different ports and stitching buddies! Looking forward to hearing all about it! Loved seeing all your stitching in this video! Lori💕

Dena - I can't wait to hear all about your cruise and the excursions you're going on. I laughed so hard at Cocoa having the zoomies! I'm glad she's not seriously hurt. I fall more in love with your Nativity every time I see it. (That's what happened when you were doing Giggles in the Snow, and then I ended up needing to do it myself. 🤣🤣) Happy stitching! - TaMara

Glad you had such a lovely Mother's Day weekend. And really happy to hear that Cocoa is on the mend. Enjoy your cruise! Last year I cruised to Nova Scotia and it was so relaxing, visited Peggys Cove and Halifax. People are super friendly and a personal tour sounds lovely.

Hey Dena, do you ever lose your stitchy bug? If so how do you manage to get it back? How funny about Cocoa and Tommy quick healing wishes to them both. Hope you enjoy your trip, and meet ups, sounds like a lot of fun! Cocoa looks quite well there at the end destroying the paper, so funny. Talk to you soon. Happy Stitching!

Hello Dena, lovely stitching as always and you look great as usual! Just wanted to make sure you know there is another design that goes with the Christmas set you are stitching from Hands on Design. It is a charity piece titled "N is for Narwhal" available only on her website. I tried to check in past videos to see if you already knew about the Narwhal design, if you do, please forgive me. Love Cocoa at the end!
