Deborah, another fun video! I especially like the city scene with the reflection of it in the water. I agree with you. The colors were great. I also like the one you showed after that with the city in the background in the various people in front. All in all lots of fun kits! I think you have enough to last you for a while, but then again, who of us doesn’t?! Lol!

Haha, oh yes! I have enough to last me some time. 😆 So glad to hear you liked both of the city scenes too. They're both so striking. I was reminded again how much I enjoy them as I was filming.
Hi Deborah! Thanks for sharing your kits. So many beauties, so little time, right? I am kind of surprised that there weren't more cat kits though knowing your love of cat patterns! I know, I know, not all of your stitching has to be cats (or does it? LOL). I thoroughly enjoyed this floss tube, as always. Thank you again. Happy crafting.

Thank you! And yes, there are always more projects than time! But we can dream. And you're right about the sad, sad lack of cat kits. Maybe I'll need to seek some out... 😆
You have some great choices there! I’m not a frequent buyer of kits but it is fun to get everything in one delicious package ready to start. 💕💕💕

I agree! Choosing your fabric and threads is fun, but sometimes it's also wonderful to have it all already done for you.
loved your kit parade! A kit always brought me such happiness when I was young..Santa would bring some which would make the most wonderful Christmas vacation fun. I have finally gotten to the point where my stash contains such variety that it is important to revel in what I have. Love your message..though scrolling thru stash unloads is still great fun. Kits are so full of potential!! In 2019 when I realized cross stitch was a thing again, I pulled out a wire whimsy airplane which was supposed to be for my young son…I finished it and at 32 he was thrilled to have it for his home.Thanks for sharing!!!

Oh, I love those stories! Knowing cross stitch played such an important role in your childhood and that your son still loves them as an adult is lovely. ❤️ Yes, it's so much to scroll stash postings and get happy mail, but I think learning to appreciate the many wonders right in our existing collections is a true treat too.
Thank you so much, Deborah. I loved your kit parade ❤

I’m so excited that you have more kits than me ! 😂 you have some real beauties in there Deborah. it was fun to see lots of kits that I haven’t seen before. I loved the one with the coloured umbrellas. I may have a collection of umbrella charts (I know, why?) Thanks for sharing.I’m looking forward to part 2.

Isn't it so fun? I love the purple as a unexpected winter color. So interesting that kits don't seem to be as prevalent in Germany. Hmm!
In another flosstube (can’t remember who), she said kitting up something yourself is called a pip, I think. So you could have a pip parade, lol.

Not sure what’s going on, but I’m at minute 21 and I’ve gotten about 7 ads of the 15-20 minute variety. Is this normal??

Unfortunately, KZread has been added in a lot more ads lately, especially to videos more than a couple days old. I have never seen them that long though!
The peacock is the male, females are peahens. Collectively they are peafowl, but everyone in the general public just says peacock for all of them.

@@kensingtoncrossstitch got it. Sorry if I sound rude but I keep seeing people buy russian staff and it hurts so much( all those rto, riolis and so on((( BTW, did you know that balloons in the bulb are from Ukrainian company ?) It is quite popular here and is one of the oldest on our market. They are located in the Eastern part and their properties were damaged at the beginning on 2022. However, they stayed in business and even release new kits!

No need to apologize! ❤️ And I'm so glad to hear the balloon piece is a popular one. I go looking for Ukrainian charts and loved that one immediately.
