so there they're going to make it to you eventually hopefully today actually I'm
hoping to get to the post office today but don't get there. okay so speaking of
giveaways I amazingly won a giveaway
recently Kaitlyn at Big Apple stitches hey Kaitlyn. She was doing a giveaway for it
was like a subscriber giveaway and she decided to she decided to just shop for
somebody whoever the lucky winner was she just asked for you know some
interests or a wish list if you had one and so she just did some shopping for me
and that was so much fun I mean I honestly I think I'll probably do a
giveaway like that at some point just because to be the recipient of such a
customized gift it's just really fun. so um I thought I'd show you what she sent
along um postcard purple floss from colour and cotton this is peacock this is
a color peacock from unicorn tail it's a six ply cotton I've never used this
before this brand I've never used this brand before so I'm pretty excited to
try something new actually I I'm also really excited about the colour and cotton
I've been considering getting some of this and so yeah I'm really really
looking forward to having that new floss a cute little small called
the potting shed by little leaf designs and um down here it says that they're
out of New York which is where she's from so I'm pretty excited to have
something where she is
let's see this is a twenty eight count jazz cachel linen by picture this Plus
which is my favorite Dyer and of course I love this and she sent me two charts
right on the money octopuses are my favorite so I'm super
stoked to have this design and bees are another favorite of mine and she also
sent the floss required for this pattern. this pattern only requires three
different colors so that's pretty cool um this one I'm I'm sure will be started
sometime for July in Christmas sorry I was blanking there for second so July
in Christmas I'll probably start that one and I'm not sure when I'm gonna
start this one but I might sort of play with the colors a little bit um yeah I
have I have lots of ideas going on up in here
but you can't really hear I'm starting to realize that people can't hear the
thoughts that are in my head my husband tells me all the time you know you'd
think I would remember. but anyway Thank You Kaitlyn so much I thought that was
just so fun it really made my day to receive that and can't wait to get
stitching on that. um okay sorry just trying to organize myself so as far as
my own stitching goes I haven't had much sorry for all the cranking but I've been
working on jumpin Jack Frost by tempting tangles changing up the fabric and some
of the floss actually is not not all of the fauces I don't think I showed this
last video so this is worried I'm I finished all the words
I actually forgot to put the period at the end so that's kind of a bummer I'm
gonna have to go back and do that at some point but I'm really liking the
fabric sorry the way the fabric you know you know what I'm trying to say this
fabric is twenty eight count Jobelyn the color time by which alt and it's so
soft oh it's like just so soft I could curl
up in a blanket of this fabric um the next thing I'm have been working on is a
gift for my daycare provider one of my daycare providers this is kids with
Wagon chart by Artecy. on the bottom I'm going to put children are a great
way to start people um so she recently discovered me on Instagram so I decided
to not update my progress on this just in case she sees it I mean if she finds
her way to these videos then surprise you're getting something from me soon uh
but anyway I decided to go with primary colors on this so this is just gonna be
blue and then the words are gonna be blue red and yellow this is just an easy
stitch I I'm doing it on an 18 count it's a kind of uh it's a larger pattern
it's 150 by 117 so medium sized but it's just bigger than bigger than the
ballerina did for the other daycare provider and so I went with a smaller
count just to make it a little bit smaller and yeah I don't know it's it's
coming along it's a little bit boring to stitch just because it's one color and
yeah and then the last thing that I can show
you that I've been stitching on is a new start I did for Halloween this is
skeleton crew by the cricket cricket collection I
bought all the called for DMC but I'm not sure yet if I'm gonna use exactly
those I think I'll probably change the purples I don't really like this shade
of purple as much as some other shades but um I did not get very far
there you go I just started in the middle I didn't
start in the middle of the fabric because the fabric is longer than I need
and I want to keep I just want to keep a little bit of that extra you know I
might be able to use it for a small or something you know so anyway um this is
that um it's a few strands of the white sail in the middle and honestly this
probably will not come out again until next Halloween I'm not not a big
Halloween stitcher I've mentioned before but I I'm glad to have found a chart
that I like so that I can participate with everyone else's Halloween stitching
cuz it's it's more fun just knowing that you're in the spirit of the holiday and
yeah and then the last thing I've been stitching on is my friends mystery
stitch which I post updates from time to time on Instagram on that she knows that
I'm stitching it for her but she doesn't know what the design is that's why I'm
calling it a mystery stitch and yeah I didn't I didn't quite finish enough to
share a post on Instagram this time so that's all I've been up to as far as
stitching goes November is here already how did that happen
yeah hope everyone enjoyed their Halloween
if you're into that kind of thing I'm not into it but my husband is it's his
favorite holiday he says and he was gone for Halloween this year and he told me
that he would be very disappointed if I just sat in my house with our son with
all the lights off on Halloween so I did the right thing and I took my son out
for Halloween trick-or-treating and he had a great time
so that was fun just to take my son out and just watch him go to door to door
you know from door to door and yeah all right I'm gonna show you just a little
bit of haul. so I finally got the remaining parts from my order from
stitching bits and bobs it actually was not everything that I had ordered but I
at this point just decided to cancel some items because I've had an open
order with them since July and I know that's kind of common with them lately
I've heard but I I really wanted to hang on to this last order because they were
the only shop that I knew of that I could get this pattern this is called
white cat by la-D-da there you go I just love this pattern so much so cute
white cat downside to this pattern that I I didn't know so on the bottom you can
see there's the designers initials and the year that she completed it and she
doesn't provide a
and alphabet with numbers - to customize your own so I'm just gonna have to wing
it I did look on the lodged a website and she does actually offer some free
alphabets she offers a few free charts that are pretty cute so if you're
interested in free charge school go to her website and and check those out but
um I just don't think that they're going to work exactly right for this pattern
so I'm just gonna have to wing it but I think it should be okay pretty minor so
I'm excited to have that and then I also got this chart now this is my first time
getting a heart in hand design it's called be kind I like that message and I
like this pattern too um surprisingly for this small of a pattern
it's got like it's got like 20 colors about maybe not 20 but a lot I'm not
gonna count them out there's a lot of colors in here so I'm not sure and there
she does or they do have their it started four weeks dye works but there's
also a conversion for anchor and DMC for this one it started four weeks dye works
and she also has a conversion for DMC I like to know that kind of thing before I
order the charts and then I got my second copy of B my love so if you
watched my last video you know that this is now a surplus of this pattern it's
probably going to become a giveaway at some point so make sure to subscribe so
you know if you like this one you might get a chance to have this sent to you
someday and then the last thing the last thing I got for myself
is some fabric from misty at luminous fiber arts this is called midnight and
this is the 36 count linen I love Misty's color choices for all of
her projects and I knew like well she had she had shown some of her fabrics
actually all of her fabrics on her channel on her video before she listed
it on eBay so not eBay. on Etsy sorry I'm so scattered today scatterbrained uh
so um I kind of held off for a little bit on on getting some just because
trying really hard to be good and not make any purchases but um I sort of I
have regular sites that I haunt on a daily basis and so I just kept like I
don't know if I was looking at it daily I actually wasn't looking at it daily
but I just kept kind of you know clicking in from time to time and it
this was my favorite color that she was offering and she still had some in linen
and it's a 36 count which isn't my go to I usually go to 32 or 28
but 36 count is okay and and I already have something sort of in mind for this
color that's the other thing about buying fabric I I tend to like having
the pattern picked out first just because it's easier like well it's just
a lot easier but in this case I don't exactly have a plan I just really like
this color um and I think it's gonna be really nice for some kind of night scene
or I don't know but it just it's really nice so love that and she um so misty
just added some Christmas colors to her shot
I am going to link her shot below in case you're interested interested in
that she's just like I said she has great a great just natural talent for
color palettes I think I mean they they just correspond really well with my own
personal piece so oh and she also released a really cute new Christmas
design so um yeah check out misty and I think that is everything that I have for
today so I'm gonna cut it off here because I have some errands to run today
still and my stomach is growing and I think I need more caffeine and that's it
yeah so thanks for thanks for spending time with me today and I hope you
subscribe and yeah I'll see you hopefully in another two weeks
I like this two weeks rotation because things tend to pile up you know if you
drag it out for a long time and my previous videos were like over an hour
or whatever okay I hope everyone's doing well and until next time take care
