Fantastic finish!! 😍 I was giggling because you and Alyssa seemed to have the giggles! No judgements here!! Y’all have a fun celebration and hope the weather is nice! PS that bunny costume IS CREEBY!!😳 Wild that baby girl was obsessed 🐰😱🤷🏻♀️😂😂😂
Come giggle with us and then we will go have cookies with Karla!!! I would LOVE that. I got to thinking and I suspect she liked the creepy bunny because it reminded her of Taco. Ha ha. The weather was nice on Sunday, but it snowed at the cabin Friday/Saturday. It's also supposed to snow this weekend too. I don't know what it is about weekends. Every. Single. One. ~J
Congrats on your chatelaine finish!!! It is so beautiful!!!😍😍😍😍 Your memorial for Taco is also so sweet and turned out perfect too. Addy with the creepy Easter bunny was too funny. Lol. I’ll have to send you a post on instagram that had me laugh so hard and it had to do with Easter bunny costumes. So cool that she instantly knew what the egg hunt was all about, and she was excited to do it too. Still praying for your mom and wisdom on what to choose this upcoming Wednesday.❤
Thank you! I don't go on IG very often, but I'll try to remember to look over the next couple of days. The bunny costume scared me and I wasn't even there. I don't know why Addy was okay with it. ~J
Thank you! I was kind enough to give her a pillow for her butt this time, but now I know she needs a back pillow too. I was impressed she got off the floor without help. I don't think I could've done that when I was pregnant. ~J
Thank you!!! I've worked on it so long, I almost feel like there is a bit of grief that it's not here in my office waiting for me. One of these days I'll get it framed though. ~J
@@therockingstitcher You get a point for pattern keeper. That's true and it makes it much more difficult. BUT, specialty stitches are mostly ---------- just going in different directions.
I was so sad to hear about Taco. I've lost 2 pets in the last few months and it's been very difficult. Your memorial piece is beautiful. Congratulations on your Chatelaine finish. What an amazing accomplishment!
Thank you! I spend a lot of time staring at it. I should probably figure out a framing option so I can sit and stare instead of stand and stare. Ha ha. ~J
Ha ha ha ha. So much gold leaf!!!! There is one square that had a ton of backstitch that I truly hated doing. I think it might be bottom left, but I can't recall. I wish someone had suggested I go off diagonally so I didn't save all those triangles and artichokes and such for last. They aren't difficult or awful or anything, just so many of them. It helps to mix it up so you aren't doing the same thing over and over. At least that's how I felt. Anyway, love that you are doing it too and can't wait to see more. You've had a ton of progress lately. ~J
Congratulations on your finish!! I finally got my Japanese Moss Garden framed a few months ago... its totally worth it :) Don't wait for years before you frame yours !!
Nag, nag, nag. Ha ha. Totally kidding. I appreciate the push. Your Japanese Moss Garden is absolutely stunning. I just mentioned to my husband over the weekend that I'm probably going to take mine to a place I've never been before that's sort of local. Turns out he needs to get something framed so we will go together in the next few weeks when life is a tiny bit less busy. ~J
I don't know whether to apologize or keep giggling with glee. My current color matches some of the keys on my keyboard. Loving it!! Good to now the base will help others to last longer. Alyssa said she'd heard that before, but appreciates the confirmation. She will be trying that. It's a shame they are so expensive, but they sure do work well. ~J
Congrats again on your chatelaine finish!! Love the Taco memorial too. Hashtags 'don't work' on IG anymore because you can't see the most recent posts using them, just the most popular posts. Also, if you follow a certain hashtag, IG may not actually put it in your feed. So funny that Addy liked that creepy bunny costume!
I should've just texted you. Of course you'd know about the IG issue. Thanks! I almost wonder if the creepy bunny reminded her of Taco. She sure loved to poke at him. ~J
I think I'm giving up on waiting for those other people to start Alpine. I think I've been excluded so I'll just start it when I want to start it. Wanna start it? :) ~J
@stitchingatthecabin Nooooo! Aaagh! You've almost got me hooked. The main thing holding me back is that I don't have the self-discipline you do. I don't think I'd ever finish one. However if I were to do one, it would probably be the garden you showed recently - not circular and no repetition. Luckily I have no idea what it's called, so I can't check to see whether it's The One! 🤣
So I saw that in Greek mythology, Keto is one of the original Titans who is the mother of Medusa and is also the mother of all sea creatures and all sea monsters. She is often depicted as a beautiful woman in her upper body and some kind of reptile-y thing for her legs ( I think) … I think the girl is Keto ( or Ceto) because she is holding a little (sea?) monster and is in front of the water and is wearing a sea shell necklace . Of course I could be totally wrong 😊
Hope your mom is well. The #hashtags are used to search for things and if in a sal you can search and see pictures of others doing the same sal. You type the #and info as one word in the search. Love all the projects. Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed week and happy stitching. Lucinda
How are you doing? I hope things are going smoothly. That was my understanding of hashtags as well. I've heard several Flosstubers lately say IG broke the hashtags. I don't know what they are talking about. How are they broken? Clearly I rarely use IG. Ha ha. ~J
Excellent question! Dena (Half stitch on FT) has Alpine Garden and a friend who is just waiting on the supplies for it. The three of us are supposed to work on it once those supplies arrive. I don't know when that will be. In the meantime, I brought down a project, but work has been crazy busy and I've only worked on it for about 10 minutes. I'm hoping to get some time in later this week. If not, I'll have to rethink my replacement plans. ~J

Thank you for repeating this. Ha ha. What you said instantly fell out of my brain when I went to explain it. I agree with your assessment. Sure seems like you are onto something here. ~J
Woot woot … the Chatelaine is amazing!! Always love catching up with you two!!
So when are you going to start a Chatelaine? Ha ha. Totally kidding. I know your life is crazy busy. ~J

Your chatelaine is amazing! Congrats 🎉 I can’t Imagine sitting on the floor that long when I was pregnant 😂 a real trooper ❤
Thank you! I was kind enough to give her a pillow for her butt this time, but now I know she needs a back pillow too. I was impressed she got off the floor without help. I don't think I could've done that when I was pregnant. ~J
I definitely couldn't stand up from the floor that pregnant! She's a champ. @@stitchingatthecabin
Congrats on finishing your gorgeous Chatelaine! 🎉
Thank you!!! I've worked on it so long, I almost feel like there is a bit of grief that it's not here in my office waiting for me. One of these days I'll get it framed though. ~J
Congratulations on finishing your Chatelaine!! I’m in awe, what an accomplishment 🎉
Thank you! It pales in comparison to your massive full coverage finishes though. ~J
@@stitchingatthecabin no way!! That’s just a lot of xxx. Nothing like a chatelaine.
@@therockingstitcher I disagree. A Chatelaine is just a lot of xxx and ------------- with a bead or 200.
And specialty stitches. And no pattern keeper and and and

Oh no! I'm so sorry. Losing pets is so stinking hard!!!! I really feel for you with two. Hugs. ~J
Oh wow the chatelaine is so very beautiful .. Congratulations x

Wahooooo!!! For Herbularius Finish! So amazing. I will take your advice. And so far that gold krenick leaf work...ugh! So proud of you.
Ha ha ha ha. So much gold leaf!!!! There is one square that had a ton of backstitch that I truly hated doing. I think it might be bottom left, but I can't recall.

Loved seeing you both. Would have a lot to write, but time is short today.... happy stitching 🪡🧵🥰
I appreciate the fact that you even wrote that much. Finding time is hard. I get it. ~J

You guys got me hooked on Dazzle Dry. I’ve ordered three times. The Dazzle Dry base coat makes my other polishes last longer too.
I don't know whether to apologize or keep giggling with glee. My current color matches some of the keys on my keyboard. Loving it!! Good to now the base will help others to last longer.

Wow! The Chatelaine finished beautifully! Congratulations, and when will you be starting Alpine?🤣😁 Just kidding. Your second one is next, I know. ⚘️
