    I have a small three tiered rolling chart with hanging compartments that sits next to my recliner. The top tray has a cozy crocheted small blanket for one of my cats, we have 4 cats in the house. It houses my scissors, current projects in zipper bags, marking pens, glasses etc. Love it, got it on Amazon, around $60.00. I have other spots in the house that I stitch and I roll it everywhere.

    Thank you for showing my Scottie girls. The Etsy shop that converted my photos to patterns is “PuntAGOpetitePattern”. FYI, both of my Scotties passed back in 2002 & 2016. The heartache never leaves but having these memories to see everyday keeps them near and dear in my heart.🐾🐾. LOL, hint taken.

    Just have to say, your little girl is so patient with the kitten. They really seem to enjoy each other. Love to watch the interaction. The frame you got for pumpkin man is perfect and I do like the carnival votive and hobnail vase. Just great for holding small items. Enjoy your week!!

    Professional framing has gone beyond what my pocketbook will allow, so I really appreciate your "finds" that allow finishing alternatives. I never would have thought to buy a frame with a holiday picture in it, cover the picture, and then mount my stitching! I am so excited to go into my finished stitching drawer and see what possibilities there are. Thank you so much!!

      @@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher 123 Stitch is basically a warehouse. When you walk in there is a very small area where you can pick up your order that you placed online. There is a huge curtain to hide all the goodies in the warehouse. It’s like the Wizard of Oz.

    I have had cats in the house for many years without a problem with my stitching. Never had a problem until 12 years ago when I got a kitty with pica (always on the obsessive search for thread). I put my beading and cross stitch in something kitty can't get into (bags, boxes, etc.). I always remove the needle from my working threads in case kitty finds the thread. Just a thought.

    There is some museum quality tacky stuff that people have used under objects in their RV. They are tacked in place but easily removed without damaging your surface. Some of this on your Knick-knacks would keep Stewart from knocking them over.

      Hi! Glad you enjoy the channel ❤Our dump is where we take the trash. There’s no garbage pickup here unless you pay a private company and have a dumpster on your property so we go once a week with our garbage and recycling to the dump. There’s a little shed there for “still useful” items. It’s a great place to find things before they end up in the garbage. Volunteers try to keep it organized and there’s books and even clothes for picking.

    Sarah, What I have found usefull when putting poly pellets in a pillow is ti use a mall funnel. The one that I use came in a package of 3 in the kitchen tools section of Walmart. The medium and large are really useful in the kitchen, but the small one just wasn't useful there, so I transferred it to my craft area and I have found many uses for it, not the least of which was using it to put poly pellets in my cross stitched items,
    Take care, be safe, and as always, GOD BLESS YOU.
