Episode 307 Cruising & Stitching SD 480p 

Hi Dena! What a fantastic day I had meeting up with you and Tommy, such a delight. I hope you do come back and join us stitching! Thanks for the gift and so glad you liked your pillow. Also so happy you had a great eastern Canadian trip! ❤

Hi Dena! 👋🏻 I enjoy all of your videos but really love it when you take us on your travels with you. And this time you were in Canada! How fun! I was so excited for you that you got to meet some fellow stitchers/fans on the boat and in Halifax but especially excited that you and Marysa had a chance to meet up and visit and stitch together. Hi Marysa! 👋🏻❤️ Thank you for your willingness to share your journeys with us. And your stitching, as always, is beautiful. Your By the Bay piece is going to be stunning! Take care. ❤️

What a fun trip! Adventures and meeting new friends...perfect. Thanks for sharing!

The bag that you get is so beautiful. Beautiful finish. Its so nice to see that stitchers immediately connect. And understand the 'stitch language'. Happy stitching

Thank you for taking us on another cruise. It was wonderful! Glad Coco had fun too!

What a wonderful time you had! The trip alone sounds awesome, but meeting new stitchy friends was so special. The Basilica is beautiful. I love that you got so much stitching done, too. Cocoa pics are too cute. ❤

Dena!! ♥ OH it was SO wonderful to meet you and Tommy in Halifax! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment! I do hope you both come back to Atlantic Canada and maybe we can put in a few stitches together!! ♥ A friend always, Marion

Dena...what an awesome trip...thanks for sharing...your videos are so up lifting...congratulations on your finishes...you do a beautiful job with your stitching...your experience with the biker was hilarious...I wouldn't have been so gentle...Coco was her adorable self...it is nice to know that you can meet cross stitchers all over the world...blessings and best wishes ❤❤

So glad you have had a wonderful vacation. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Hi Dena! Such a fun video today!! So glad you had a wonderful trip! And the pictures of Cocoa perched on the back of that couch are hysterical! I don’t know how she can balance up there so well! What a sweetheart!💕

Thanks for taking us on your cruise and also to meet your new friends. Sounds like a fun time was had by all except for car problems. Looks like Cocoa had a fun time as well. You even got some stitching done. Happy stitching Dena

I really enjoyed your vacation. I’ve known you love people, but your warmth really came thru on this video. Happy stitching.

How fun that you were able to meet so many stitchy friends!

Dena… thank you so much for the adventure! I have to say you are amazing on your health journey. You look great and so healthy. 🌸💕

Thank you for sharing your cruise and stitching. Look like you had a great time. Have a good week. 😊🪡

Hello Dena you look amazing your eating regime is working so well congratulations. Pleased to hear the trip was a success. The little bag and kit is adorable not to mention the friendship pillow. So glad to read Lori also enjoyed your video it has been great. Margo appears to be a fun and creative lady. Thank you for a delightful video and happy stitching.

Hi Dena, thanks for bringing me along on your journey - it was tons of fun! See you on Thursday! Lori 💕

Hi Dena, loved the video and seeing you on your cruise with Tommy, thank you so much for taking us along with you both. What a lovely bunch of stitchers you met both on and off the ship and it was so much fun to hear about what they love stitching on and how they got started. Marysa, Margo, Cindy, Ann and Marian, thank you for talking to us about your stitching, I did so enjoy meeting you all. I have been to Canada twice and absolutely adored it there. We were lucky enough to travel on the Rocky Mountaineer and I will never forget the stunning countryside we travelled through. We went to Montreal on one trip and we loved that the French speaking locals made you feel so welcomed. We got some bikes and had an amazing self guided tour. This video has brought back so many happy memories and I hope you enjoy the incredible memories you both made on this trip. Congratulations on both your finishes they were gorgeous. It was fun to see Cocoa and Fred at the end too. Happy stitching, Teresa 🛳🪡🧵♥

Thank you so much Dena for sharing your cruise with us. You obviously had an amazing time and got some great stitching in. Looked like Cocoa had a good holiday too. Thanks again.

The gasp I gasped when you told that story about the gentleman on the bike next to you!! 😡😡😡 You are very gracious for always assuming the best in people - I should take a lesson from you! So glad you had such a wonderful time on your travels! ❤❤

Dena how lovely your trip was and a delight to meet a fellow stitcher on the ship. The trip had places and people to meet and stitching too great trip x

It was so lovely to meet you and Tommy! This video is extra special to me because I can now relive the trip any time! When I met you on the elevator, my heart started beating very fast, and I was so star-struck! Fan Girling, for sure! 😊 I have always enjoyed watching your videos because you are charming and friendly and informative...all of these things are very true of you in person. Im so glad to have made a new friend! ❤

Dena so glad you had fun and enjoyable travels! If your ever in the western part of the states you got a friend 😊 Happy stitching ❤

Thank you for taking us along on your cruise, it looks like an amazing place. I also wanted to say WTG on your weight loss, you look amazing.

Thank you for sharing a great video. I enjoyed seeing some of the people you met while traveling. I’m glad you had a nice time. By the way I had my second cataract surgery. I’m thrilled to see so clearly, and I don’t have to wear glasses , just for reading. Happy stitching. Great to see sweet Cocoa.

I love that you share your travels with us. I'll be cruising in August, and after watching this video, I'm getting more excited about it. It's always nice to meet new friends with the same interests, isn't it. I would not have been happy about that man with the bike, and by the time I left, he would have known that he should mind his own business. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful trip. Looks like an awesome time had by all. Happy stitching Patty🐈‍⬛

Another awesome video! Thank you!!

Thanks for taking us along. Glad you had a good time! Great video as always😊

Hi Dena! It was wonderful to meet you and Tommy here in Canada. My trip was cut short but forever grateful for our time in PEI. Next time, I'm booking the boat too! Miss you already sweet friend❤

Dena, thank you soo much for the awesome video. I live happily thru your travels😉. Your stitching, as usual, is amazing. In reference to your ‘bike riding’, good girl for showing patience. Other than the fact that I consider exercise a ‘four letter word’ 🥴, I think if the guy increased the resistance on my bike, I would have been forced to take my ‘church dress’ off and explained my meaning of personal space. 🫣. I think Tommy is right, the guy was flirting with you. You are looking fabulous and congratulations on your healthy life mission. Hugs and kisses Dena, thank you so much for sharing. ❤❤❤. I particularly liked how CoCo, with her tongue out, gave you a nanny, nanny boo boo, I’m having fun too. ❤

Hi, Dena. This episode was a trip down memory lane for me. My husband and I traveled to Montreal several years ago and tour the Norte Dame Basilica many years ago. Truly awesome experience! Our guide in Quebec City gave us so much information and he had a great personality. Our time in PEI was short and would love to go there again some day. We’ve made two trips to Nova Scotia, one driving the Cabot Trail. Beautiful country. Thanks for sharing your stitching and meeting your friends. 🪡🪡🪡

Thanks for sharing your cruise. I enjoyed seeing a bit of my country through your eyes. I've done that route with Holland America, but on a sister ship, although I was on the Volendam many years ago - I've done 30+ cruises with HAL. I'm so glad you got to meet up with friends, that makes travelling even more fun. Your stitching is lovely, as always.

Hello Dena that was a joy to watch, sounds like you had a wonderful time. I love your Christmas ornament finish and will check out her charts. Happy Stitching best wishes Natalie x

What a wonderful trip you and Tommy did have! Dena I’ve always dreamed of going to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, maybe someday! Take care.

You look like you are having such a wonderful time.

Another fabulous video. Thank you for sharing everything. Your videos always make me feel so good. And I love seeing what you are working on. You have to come to Oregon for our LNS's stitching retreat in September (Pacific North West Stitching Summit) one of these years. Have a great week

So glad you had a wonderful trip! I will admit …. The part about the guy literally upping your resistance made me laugh out loud!!! I don’t kmow how I would have reacted!!! 😂 Take care!

Dena, you are much nicer than me - I would have popped that man's hand if he reached over to touch the bike I was on. What a great trip - getting to meet new stitching friends. Happy stitching! - TaMara

I loved this! I laughed over the bike incident and that would have certainly been unusual. I wish I had your attitude toward things. I would known what to do

Thank you for taking us on your travels! It is so nice that Tommy supports your stitching!

Very Fun Video!!

Dena thanks for sharing your cruise with us and meeting your new stitching friends. Looks like a grand time!! Love seeing Cocoa and your hubby!! Did he learn calligraphy?
