    ***Video Edited*** Hello everyone! I'm really sorry but I had to edit and remove a portion of the video that shows me flipping through my new craft books. It has come to my attention that showing contents of the craft books could cause copyright issues. I thought it was ok to show a few pages but that might not be the case. So to avoid any potential problems, I have removed that part of the video that shows me sharing my new craft books and flipping through them. I'm really sorry for causing any inconvenience and disappointment that may have caused. 🙏😞

      Hello,
      I'm so sorry you had such issue.
      But please, would you be so kind as to give all the references?
      There were 2 that I wanted to buy...and now I won't be able to find them. 🥺
      Thank you so much for your help, truly.
      And thank you for this amazing video. 💗
      Greetings from France!

    Beautiful stitching. May I share a tip with you? I noticed that when you separate 6 strand floss you are doing it the hard way. Try holding the 6 strands near the end between your thumb and index finger of your left hand. Then tap the top end of the floss with the index finger of your right hand to make the ends of the floss "bloom" out and separate so you can see each strand. Then, while still holding all 6 strands snugly in your left hand, grab one isolated stand and pull it up and put of your left hand. It will come out smoothly. Don't worry if the remaining floss in your left hand appears to bunch up as you do this. It will smooth right out by smoking it down with your right hand once the strand is removed. Repeat for each additional strand you want to use. Then hold your removed strands even at the end and give them a stroke to combine them. You will get better coverage and less tangling with these recombined strands too!

    At first I thought you were making Christmas tree ornaments, but they turned out great! Only thing I would suggest is stick the magnet inside the cat body before you sew them closed - you might have to use a stronger magnet, but it would be neater and less chance of the glue failing 🙂

    An easy way is to color the back of the template with pencil, put the template back on the cat and fill in the face with a hard pencil, so the color from the pencil on the back forms a copy of the face on the fabric.

    Good morning Kiko, thanks for another lovely video!
    I love that deep dusty rose color on the granny squares. I would maybe see if they look good together with the green because I think they might. You could always do something else with them too. The cat magnets turned out really cute!
    I really like the Japanese Sashiko books too. I ordered one before due to your recommendation. I’ve been thinking about getting an embroidery one, but am concerned that the pictures won’t be enough for me to see how to do the pattern since I can’t read the instructions. Do you think the pictures are self-explanatory enough in the embroidery ones?
    When are you getting your cat? Are you still planning on it?
    See you next week!

I have the Japanese versions and I did find myself using the Google translate app on my phone in the beginning for a few things I didn't fully understand. But in general it's not bad. The new book by Yula, I have yet to look at the instructions so I don't know yet 😊 I'm hoping to get a cat soon! I just bought a cat tree 😅 have a wonderful week!! ✨

      I’ve used that roll of magnet tape before and no it’s not strong enough to stick through fabric if it was put inside. However you could find some stronger ones that could be stuck inside the cat so the magnet wouldn’t be visible.

I used to have a beautiful garden like yours but now live alone in a small apartment. I have a porch garden now. Thank you for helping my mental health! You don’t know just how much your videos have helped me. I truly appreciate everything you’ve posted and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Hugz, Tree🤎🩵
    Also, thought you’d enjoy this flower display:

    本の中身を見せるのは、著作権の問題に触れるのではないですか?
    他のユ−チュブチャンネルの人たちは見せないように気を付けているようです。

      Thank you very much for your comment and concerns! 🙏 I didn't think showing some pages of the books would have copyright issues. Some people have asked in the past if I can share the patterns or instructions with them and I always reply that I can't and if they are interested, please purchase the book. I thought that was enough. Maybe I'm showing too much of the book's contents? I never thought that could be a problem. I think I will have to be more careful in the future to avoid any problems. Thank you for bringing it up! 🙏
