Brilliant video and lovely pressies, enjoyed seeing your haul, Graham doing a great job, also wishing him happy birthday too, thankyou once again Leah, enjoy your weekend 😊
Hi Leah! Happy Birthday 🎂 I’m new to your RUclips and I’m so happy you received the DMC box! Exciting. Looking forward to following you, enjoyed seeing your projects you do amazing charts.❤
You really uplift my day. It's great to see the dmc box in real life - even if it is in your room and not mine lol. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Not jealous or anything ..... 😂
Some lovely work off both of you he is going to love the one of summer luv the Halloween ones and mermaid coming along nicely graham has done a fantastic job on his I love it loved the birthday hall got some lovely things xx
Happy belated birthday Leah! I have the strawberry project bag too 😍 love the hot trotter stitches ones, but you inspired me to have a look at canny little fox and I ended up with 2 home project bags, I love them 😍
Thank you!! The strawberry bag is one of my favourites. Look at me enabling you to get Canny Little Fox cases - oops! They’re so well made though aren’t they? I love them!
Woo! Finally caught up with your video Leah 😁 what a fantastic birthday haul, it really made me chuckle when you were just peeping out from behind the DMC chest! I’m so pleased to see the Stitching Buddy needle minder was your choice for the Summer project, that really is a wonderful gift 💛
Thank you for watching Lucy!! I just had to use that needleminder for my secret Summer project! She is the best stitching buddy after all (don’t tell the guinea pigs)! ❤️
I am doing the MFE SAL No Time too. Still working on March/February. I joined WIP2Go and left since some of them were just too complicated. I tried Maynia and no on that one too.i stitch what I want too
You’ve got this!!! 🥳 there’s no race in the life of cross stitch which is lovely! Yeah I find it too tricky trying to fit everything in so I’ve paused any new starts while I work on what I’ve got because I’ve got plenty!!
Wow you had an epic bday. Lucky lady. Absolutely adore the Dmc chest. I’m sad to hear you had poor customer service from caterpillar cross stitch. Ive personally never used them and unlikely to either. But it certainly puts you off using these companies when they have poor customer service. It’s great to hear people’s feedback on them. Hope you have a good week. I’ve not been stitching much, work has taken over a bit as started a new job and my kids want to do more now the weather has changed so we’re outside more with the dog. Also Grahams cross stitch looks amazing! Can’t wait to see what he chooses to stitch after this one is finished. Love to you both ❤
Hi Michelle!! I was absolutely spoiled rotten, honestly!! I won’t be shopping with Caterpillar any more - it’s put me right off, I’ve gone off their patterns mostly anyway so I’ll just stitch what I’ve got and only buy if I desperately want it but I won’t be using their customer service!! So maybe just PDFs from now on… How’s your job going? I hope it’s going well - I know the feeling when life takes over from your fun hobbies but it’s lovely you’re spending more time outside - we’re making the most of it too and having bbqs on a Sunday - its blissful! His cross stitch is so good isn’t it? He’s coming along nicely with it and it’ll look so good when it’s finished. I hope you’re having a lovely week Michelle xx
Gutted that you can’t join for Gaia but I totally get why, too many shiny things not enough time! That’s so disappointing to hear about your Caterpillar experience. I’ve never ordered anything from them but something doesn’t really sit right with me that I can’t quite put my finger on. I was exactly the same for the Fiberlicious fabric, had to triple check the postage cos I couldn’t believe how expensive it was. I think you should have a go at dyeing yourself, at least you can say you tried if it doesn’t quite work 😊 fab video as always ❤
I’m so devastated!! However I’m hoping you’ll all still be stitching in a year … or two!! 😉 and I can join in at some point!! I’ve always side eyed Caterpillar Cross Stitch - I buy from them but honestly they’re not what they seem and this most recent incident has properly put me off! I’m going to dye the fabric myself, screw it, what can go wrong?! It’ll be a learning experience and it’ll make a fun video because boy will i video the entire process! 😅😂 xx
Have you tried looking at Sparklies or Chromatic Alchemy for fabric for that mermaid? Or Polstitches? They all have fabulous fabrics and won't cost you £40 for postage.
There are oodles of how to dye cross stitch fabrics on RUclips, including some by @MommaLovesYouGB. Fair enough, not many for Dylon specifically, but the principle is the same as for Rit. I learned how to dye cross stich fabrics from RUclips and have had some amazing results using Rit, Dylon and Dyna-flo dyes. Have fun with it!!
Ooooo amazing thank you!! I’m going to do a dive and find some videos so I get the general gist and then I’ll have a go - I’ll of course document progress! 😅😂

I have looked at both and no joy! I’m going to try my hand at dyeing 🙈 wish me luck!! Xx
Happy happy birthday 🎂🎁😄 That was an epic haul for sure!! Such a shame you think you won't be able to start Gaia...she really is so lovely to stitch 😄
