Hi Jessie Marie! Oh my goodness! What a beautiful gift from your husband! The frame selection is beautiful! Goes well with your beautiful stitching! Great progress! Oh yes, I'll be cheering you on to finish the Fantasy SAL this month! Have a great day!
Like always I’m stunned with all the stitching you can do in a month. Even in a good month I never come any near to your numbers. Loved to see the projects and plans. Have fun on your 2023 stitching journey.
Hi Jessie Your Husband did a super fantastic job in picking out the Frame and the Mat - this is just gorgeous - wow. You will treasure this for the rest of your life. What a Treasure. Love all of your WIPS - you are making great progress on them. They are so pretty. I love watching your progress on Glory Of Autumn - I made this one for my one brother and he has it hanging up in his Living Room. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵❤️
Bravo on your stitching plans! I’m to much of a slug to make plans like that. I love the autumn WIP you showed with the waterwheel and beautiful autumn backdrop.
Love the overexpalining and seeing all your projects and plans! I did two WIPGO boards this year so seeing your THREE was so fun! I am using my two to really focus my stitching this year as I try to get down to 50 WIPS by my 50th birthday in a little over 2 years. Can't wait to watch you work on ALL THE THINGS this year!
Wow, so much to take in! Love the framed piece! It was so thoughtful! I agree with don’t stitch on it if it doesn’t bring you joy, isn’t that why we stitch? Thanks for the mention, I got back to my work basket too. It makes sense to me. I’ve been struggling with plans and groups and challenges and I know I just need to limit it to what is doable and fun. I love your full coverage especially the Jeremiah Ketner (sp?). It’s stunning! Never apologize for the length of your videos. It would be a JMDS video if you weren’t being you! I always stick through to the end! Have a blessed day sweetie 😊
Hi Jessie. You're welcome and I'm so glad you can do some framing. Looking forward to seeing your FFOs. I recall my message got a little garbled, what I was trying to say was even in a year when I didn't stitch at all, 2022, I so enjoyed your videos. I couldn't get my groove going in 2022 but I still enjoyed seeing what you were doing and by the end of the year I was ready to give WIPGO a try and I'm back to enjoying my stitching. Thank you!
Your husband did a great job! I don't think mine would ever even think of doing that. Of course I'd actually have to finish some of my big projects first.
Thank you for talking about your Full Coverage February plans or sorta plans. I am struggling with exactly what I want to do but I think I finally have it figured out. I am spending the rest of today working on fine tuning it. The framed piece is wonderful and you have some awesome goals for this year!
wow crumbs I thought you were going to say you were planning an FFO every month! Which would have been a lot. But every 2 weeks?? Wow! Can't wait to see them! Its so nice to FFO something!
What an amazing job your husband did picking out the perfect mats and framing. As always love your video update and I love your overexplaining. I enjoy so much more than just seeing everyone's projects. I really enjoy the stories behind them and why you make the decisions you make.
Mini Pearl looks amazing!!! Hubby did an awesome job with the surprise, the framer did an excellent job. She looks perfect 😍 fantasy Sal is looking so good! That’s going to be an exciting finish that will be worth a new start celebration.
Such a perfect frame! And such a thoughtful hubby! 🥰 I like your plan to work on all your projects this year. I feel like I always have a desire to do that, and even if I originally don’t plan on it, I still try to touch as many as I can. And I love that you could possibly finish your Fantasy SAL in February! I’ll be rooting for you to accomplish that! 🥳
You’ve inspired me to restart ALL my dimension kits (which is quit the under taking) because i love the patterns but HATE the stuff Aida so I never work on them.
Jessie can you do a detailed tutorial video on how you do "parking" on your stitched projects. I've looked at several videos on RUclips, none of them are very detailed with close-up pictures.
I have to agree. I was wanting to start new full coverages but something was holding me back and I think it is because I have so little progress on some of my others. Too many skeins sitting unused. I am going to remedy that issue so I can get a 2024 new year new start in 😊 thank you
I love your "over explaining" hearing about plans is one of my favorite parts. For your dimensions kit, is it hard working with five strands on the linen? I'm thinking about making a similar substitution but I'm worried about how that would go. Happy stitching 💜
Oh, which rowing machine? I used to love rowing. I know Peloton just came out with a rower and I love their bike and tread but I never use them as much as I thought I would so I didn’t order the rower. Rowing is such a good work out!
Hi just found you after someone mentioned you on FB and your wipgo! Watched the you tube explaining that ad then a couple of others including this one. Lots of projects 😮 and stitching plans, and some of the must complete show notes I’ve seen. Thanks so much. Do you use the same frame and change your project each time? I’m returning to cross stitch after about a 40 year break, so I have much to relearn or learn new!
Last year I finished my least enjoyed piece. I decided to only stitch on it during live streams and go figure there were a ton of live streams and I actually finished it! It was a gift for someone (and my oldest piece) so I’m now happy it’s done, it wasn’t as terrible at the end as I anticipated, and now the guilt about it is gone. So with the realization that live stream stitching works, I’m now doing it again on my new oldest (2015), which is 50% done on its way to 58% done before February ends. I plan to get it to 75% for the year then consider letting it have a break. Meanwhile I *really* need to focus on the HAED. I want to finish it before it turns 10, which with all the delays I keep putting it on might not happen. 6 years to get 29 page finishes. I need to up my daily stitch count to be able to account for more hiatuses on it. But once I finish my current gift project I’ll have less pressure - it’s mostly back stitch now so 1-2 weeks maybe. So 2 projects a day vs 3. 9/12 projects are 2020 or newer, half are smalls or easy to travel with so less guilt about not touching them super frequently. Here’s hoping no more gift stitching required for the year and I can focus on my projects. If you finish your goals, do you plan to focus on your oldest piece/s exclusively until the year ends?
Hi, Heidi! Welcome. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond. Kreinik (you were close!) is a metallic floss, used to give sparkle. It comes in a variety of sizes but the one most used for cross stitch is a #4 braid. I hope that helps. : D
Your husband did a great job! I don't think mine would ever even think of doing that. Of course I'd actually have to finish some of my big projects first.

Great video. Your Christmas gift is beautiful and will always be a treasured memory!
Hi Jessie, it looks like you have lots of stitching planned for this year. Your husband did a great job with the framing. That piece is beautiful.
What a wonderful Christmas gift. It's beautiful. Thank you for sharing your WIPs with us. I'vr added a few to my list. Happy Stitching!
What a wonderful surprise your husband gifted you!

Your husband really knows what looks good. The framing is so important 🌺🌸🌺🇮🇪☘️🇺🇸🍎❤️🧵😊🌦️🌬🥶It’s cold and rainy 44*in Southern California

Love, love your framed piece. It is gorgeous. Love your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!
I would love the Nantucket pattern.
He's a keeper for framing that for you.
The framing story is so special. I love that Dimensions owl stitch.
Gorgeous projects!
My very first full coverage was Mini Citrine! It's still my only full coverage finish, but I learned a TON on mine too.
What an amazing and thoughtful gift from your husband!! So sweet!
What an amazing job your husband did picking out the perfect mats and framing. As always love your video update and I love your overexplaining. I enjoy so much more than just seeing everyone's projects. I really enjoy the stories behind them and why you make the decisions you make.
So much fun. X

My oldest wips are from 2016, I have 2. In February both got called 😂. Not mad about it because I’d like to get those two finished this year.
👏 excellent movie. 5/5 stars
Such a perfect frame! And such a thoughtful hubby! 🥰 I like your plan to work on all your projects this year.

Leif: “Is there anything I should be surprising you with for framing?”
Me: “Everything. Get busy!”
Oh, which rowing machine? I used to love rowing. I know Peloton just came out with a rower and I love their bike and tread but I never use them as much as I thought I would so I didn’t order the rower. Rowing is such a good work out!

Great video.
I do have a question for you. You use a lot of 32 count linen. Do you stitch 2x2 on it - 2 strands of day DMC over 2 threads?
👏👏👏💖💖

Just discovered your channel! What is “krinick”? I highly doubt I am spelling that correctly!

@@JessieMarieDoesStuff thank you!!! I have never used it before, I’ll have to give it a try.
