Congratulations on 1K!! As I've said before, you're comfort stitching flosstube. It's like stitching and talking with a friend. I think it'd be worth the extra effort to add backstitched blades of grass on Rose of Sharon. The frame you chose for Lady of the Flag is darn near perfect. I've also sacrificed a few stitches to fit a project in a frame and never regretted it. Your wips are so pretty. I really do enjoy seeing all of the Mirabilia's being stitched up.

Congratulations on another finish! I admire your willingness to use saturated color for dyeing fabric. It's so easy to play it safe with neutral or light colors but you take it to another level and it elevates your stitching. I just picked back up And a forest grew by Rosewood Manor. I started it at the beginning of last year with the intention of working on it every month for a finish by the end of the year. Didn't happen, so now it's this year's goal. I'm glad you've had a quieter, calmer month. You've been on the go since last July non stop it seems, with the house and kids. How are your flower beds handling this summer heat?
@brittanycrossstitchesАй бұрын
@jenniferhannah4424 thanks so much! It's probably my painting background that makes me want that little something extra with my fabrics. I hope you either get good progress or finish Rosewood Manor! My flower beds are doing ok.... darn beetles got to my rose bushes, though. I put new mulch down this year, so I've had to water them about every 3 days. Other than those darn Japanese beetles, they've been good. Speaking of non-stop on the go, last Saturday, we started putting the back splash in the kitchen up. I'm hoping to finish it this weekend, cleared both trees out back all while in this crazy heat! We've been sitting at 92-95 with a real fellow of anywhere between 94-102. Add in humidity of around 60%, and it's like we're sitting in a sauna. You open the door and just step outside, and you're sweating. Nights were hitting around 80-85! Normally, our nights are around 70-75 and during the day 85-90. It's so hot out, so I'm so thankful for air conditioning! The next 4 days are supposed to be 82-89. It'll probably feel cool it's been non-stop hot here. I hope your weather isn't so bad! We went from flooding like crazy and land slides to praying for some rain. All the towns around us get a good thunderstorm once a week, but it breaks apart before it gets to my town.

Hi Brittany, I was SO hoping you had a new video to watch, it’s therapy for me. My husband just came home from the hospital on Friday. He suffered his 4th Hemorrhagic Stroke and it’s been rough. I love all of your finishes and am especially interested in your thought process as to which fabric color to put them on. I would love seeing a video, of how you determine what fabric color will match best as I am not very good at doing that. You have beautiful taste in fabric color and perhaps you could show us how you determine how to pick fabric colors to match the project. I’m just blown away at your dyeing fabric, I love the freeness that you choose for background. For instance, the first Santa you showed, very nice, so different and origional. Anyway, I’ve enjoyed this video immensely and you have given me a very much needed “emotional” break. Thank you.❤
@brittanycrossstitchesАй бұрын
@Pasos4me sending you a large hug! I hope your husband is recovering well. I'll absolutely do a video about how and why I chose a color for my fabric for different pieces. I think I'm free with the colors I use because I come from a painter background. It's probably also why I pick specific colors for certain patterns. I know how colors interact with one another. That knowledge helps when you want to enhance certain features in a pattern.

None have made it onto my wall yet, that will be changing soon, I am going to hang them down my stairwell wall as it goes from our first floor to our second floor and inhave nothing hung on that wall. I'm very proud of my kids, I'm just supporting them through their adventure of life. I try very hard to protect my children from anyone trying to locate them, as I know there are creeps on the internet, and I don't want to be the one that gives creeps a way to find where my kids go to school or live. My entire life has been devoted to raising capable adults who are well adjusted and are comfortable being self-sufficient. Also generous and kind, they come with us to help elderly in our neighborhood with lawn care and flower beds for free. They know the value of helping others who can't do things for themselves. Plus, they've learned that sometimes someone being so happy and like a burden has been lifted off someone's chest is better than money in your pocket. I'm hoping to make this world a little better!

I know it shook my entire family, and affected my kids as they've always seen me health and active, however when I was on chemo I think seeing me barely able to stay awake some days scared them all. I will say it made me and my children realise that we are never promised another day on earth, so we cherish spending time together even more than before, more so my teenage kids at that time. Playing board games and watching movies as a family are much more special now.

I started it at the beginning of last year with the intention of working on it every month for a finish by the end of the year. Didn't happen, so now it's this year's goal. I'm glad you've had a quieter, calmer month. You've been on the go since last July non stop it seems, with the house and kids. How are your flower beds handling this summer heat?
@jenniferhannah4424 thanks so much! It's probably my painting background that makes me want that little something extra with my fabrics. I hope you either get good progress or finish Rosewood Manor! My flower beds are doing ok.... darn beetles got to my rose bushes, though. I put new mulch down this year, so I've had to water them about every 3 days. Other than those darn Japanese beetles, they've been good. Speaking of non-stop on the go, last Saturday, we started putting the back splash in the kitchen up. I'm hoping to finish it this weekend, cleared both trees out back all while in this crazy heat! We've been sitting at 92-95 with a real fellow of anywhere between 94-102. Add in humidity of around 60%, and it's like we're sitting in a sauna. You open the door and just step outside, and you're sweating. Nights were hitting around 80-85! Normally, our nights are around 70-75 and during the day 85-90. It's so hot out, so I'm so thankful for air conditioning! The next 4 days are supposed to be 82-89. It'll probably feel cool it's been non-stop hot here. I hope your weather isn't so bad! We went from flooding like crazy and land slides to praying for some rain. All the towns around us get a good thunderstorm once a week, but it breaks apart before it gets to my town.
Hi Brittany, I was SO hoping you had a new video to watch, it’s therapy for me. My husband just came home from the hospital on Friday. He suffered his 4th Hemorrhagic Stroke and it’s been rough. I love all of your finishes and am especially interested in your thought process as to which fabric color to put them on. I would love seeing a video, of how you determine what fabric color will match best as I am not very good at doing that. You have beautiful taste in fabric color and perhaps you could show us how you determine how to pick fabric colors to match the project. I’m just blown away at your dyeing fabric, I love the freeness that you choose for background. For instance, the first Santa you showed, very nice, so different and origional. Anyway, I’ve enjoyed this video immensely and you have given me a very much needed “emotional” break. Thank you.❤
@Pasos4me sending you a large hug! I hope your husband is recovering well. I'll absolutely do a video about how and why I chose a color for my fabric for different pieces. I think I'm free with the colors I use because I come from a painter background. It's probably also why I pick specific colors for certain patterns. I know how colors interact with one another. That knowledge helps when you want to enhance certain features in a pattern.
Hi Brittany, may I please ask where you bought your project bags and planner from, I live the look of both and would like to see if I can get both (the planner for next year 😊). Love your videos BTW. Thanks.

@@brittanycrossstitches thanks for coming back, much appreciated.
@@anastasiakalogiannis1868 you're welcome
You are an amazing stitcher. Congratulations on your finish. She is absolutely beautiful. You always amaze me with how much you get done. Bravo. Your fabric dyeing is perfection. You have such a knack for it. Thanks so much for sharing all your beautiful work 👏👏👏
Thanks for watching! I get a lot of stitching done because I'm a sahm, so once I get housework and meals cooked, I'm usually found in my stitchy spot. Haha. My kids are older as well, so I don't have to chase after them anymore. If I'm lucky they'll go with me on my evening walk.
Hey Brittany happy to see your update!!! Where do you get your 28 ct to dye?
I just buy from 123 stitch. I don't have a preference on brand, so what ever I feel like is a good price I buy it. Haha
Ahhh I'm always looking forward to your videos. Congratulations on your finish, Aquila looks so good on your fabric! 😍 Loved seeing all your fancy ladies ❤ Have a great month Brittany!
Thanks so much for watching! Aquila is so beautiful! I think I'll keep her!
@@brittanycrossstitchesYes you really have to keep her! 😍🙌🏼
@Cozyxstitch I often don't get to keep what I stitch. Being I stitch in my living room, friends and family come over and see what I'm working on and ask if they can have it. So I have lots of stitching hanging in their homes. We will see. I only have so much wall space and I like giving it away as well. Haha
@@brittanycrossstitches Haha I totally understand. That family/friends ask if they can have it is a huge compliment and extra fun to see your work hanging on their walls when you pay them a visit 😍
I always love seeing your projects. And i loved seeing ypur fabrics. So talented After seeing your finish of Lakapati from Bella Fillapina i fell in love and immediately bought all the supplies and started her :)
She is a wonderful stitch! She now hangs On my mother in laws living room wall. As for my fabric,I really do Just throw color around.
Thank you Brittany ,it is always a joy to see your beautiful stitching and amazing dyed fabric. Glad you had a calmer month. Best wishes from UK. x
Thanks for watching! I needed a month of calm!
Retractable idea for tools! Awesome!
Yes. I know where they are at all times and when I'm done with them. I just let go and the go back by themselves.
Holy moly! What great ideas and organization skills you have shared! Thank you. I will definitely be using some of them!
👍👍
You are such a fast stitcher! Gorgeous fancy ladies😊
I stitch on them for 5 days straight before I switch. I usually get about 6 hours a day to stitch
I love your Mira’s. I want to do the bakers wife in blue as well. I’m doing lady of the flag and Sabrina right now.
Thank you! I'd love to do lady of the flag in green. Thinking about asking my friend to borrow her pattern again. Being I took so good care of her pattern when I borrowed it she said she let me borrow other OOP patterns she has
Stunning finishes!!
Thank you 😊
Thank you Brittany, your finishes are beautiful, the frames suit them so well. Congratulations to your children, they have done so well, you must be very proud of them. Best wishes from uk. x
I am proud of Them! They all have worked hard this year! I'm glad I could find so many frames that would fit my pieces. There's still, I think, lady of the flag yet to frame.
Beautiful finishes! So fun to watch your framed Lakapati while I’m putting a million beads in her right now 😂 Keeps me motivated!
Oh no! She does have so many beads!
@@brittanycrossstitches yes she does haha, but she becomes a beauty! I hope you are doing better with less migraines this month ❤️
@Cozyxstitch it has been a lot better this month! I think the whole month I had two. So going from having pretty much a migraine the whole month to only having 2 out of the month was fantastic. Thanks for caring!
@@brittanycrossstitches So good to hear!
😊I just love all your wip
Thank you! I love stitching fancy ladies!
Absolutely stunning finishes! Great job! I, too, hunt the thrift store for frames. You can find beautiful ornate frames for a fraction of the cost. I currently have one waiting for Lady of the Mist that I haven't even started 🤣I love how you're converting both ladies to blue and white. I think a fancy lady June sounds splendid. I'd really like to see pictures and/or video of where you hang your finishes in your home. And I personally enjoy hearing you flap your gums. My third child graduated this year also. Only one more to go. Congratulations to all of your kids for their achievements and kudos to you for protecting them/your family by not giving out info that could track them. See ya next month!
These will be the first ones I actually get to hang in my house, my mother in law and friends love my cross-stitch piece so often times they will come over and "claim" pieces I'm stitching on. None have made it onto my wall yet, that will be changing soon, I am going to hang them down my stairwell wall as it goes from our first floor to our second floor and inhave nothing hung on that wall. I'm very proud of my kids, I'm just supporting them through their adventure of life. I try very hard to protect my children from anyone trying to locate them, as I know there are creeps on the internet, and I don't want to be the one that gives creeps a way to find where my kids go to school or live. My entire life has been devoted to raising capable adults who are well adjusted and are comfortable being self-sufficient. Also generous and kind, they come with us to help elderly in our neighborhood with lawn care and flower beds for free. They know the value of helping others who can't do things for themselves. Plus, they've learned that sometimes someone being so happy and like a burden has been lifted off someone's chest is better than money in your pocket. I'm hoping to make this world a little better!
@@brittanycrossstitches You're doing a wonderful job being a great example for your children and others around you. I come for the cross stitch but stay for the company. Quite frankly, even if you didn't share any stitching, I'd still come for your monthly chats. You have a beautiful gift of inspiring. I'm happy to have a peek into and follow along your journey. Tough days like today where I'm dealing with radiation burn, I can escape through watching videos like yours. Two more weeks of radiation and I'm ready to be declared cancer free.
@jenniferhannah4424 I hope soon you'll hear that you're cancer free! Thankfully, I didn't have to have radiation, so I can't relate, although if you end up having or have had chemo, I know exactly how that feels! I'm so glad I could give you something to take your mind off everything you're dealing with, I will keep you on my thoughts! Cancer is a pain in the butt! I know it shook my entire family, and affected my kids as they've always seen me health and active, however when I was on chemo I think seeing me barely able to stay awake some days scared them all. I will say it made me and my children realise that we are never promised another day on earth, so we cherish spending time together even more than before, more so my teenage kids at that time. Playing board games and watching movies as a family are much more special now.
Brittany, your finishes are all gorgeous and I love the fact you take your tape measure to thrift stores looking and measuring frames-because I do the very same thing. The “hunt” is a lot of fun. It’s crazy how much framing costs now and frankly I enjoy doing it myself. Yours are amazing. Congratulations on the achievements of your kiddos, something to be very proud of. That song was SO good, I’m singing it myself now! Your fabrics are really perfect for your pieces too. Good work mama!
Thank you so much! So very proud of my kids, they all work very hard, I'm just there to support them in their adventure. Framing is so expensive, I'd rather do it myself also. That way I can change anything I want how ever many times I want too. At least I'm not the only one measuring frames in the store!
Wow wow wow Just spectacular. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Amazing finishes
Thank you!
@@brittanycrossstitches you’re very welcome 😊
You are AMAZING! WOW! Those Mirabellia are PHENOMENAL!
Thank you so much!
I love your fancy ladies ❤❤❤
@sunnykat2762 thank you! I love fancy ladies so much!
@@brittanycrossstitches I can tell. So do I. ❤️
Where are the tear drop beads placed
In her hair
@brittanycrossstitches thank you. I have bead 13051 and 13089. The pattern recommended them but to be placed at your choice. Just wasn't sure.
@TeresaRussell-ed6tw there was a symbol on my pattern where to place them and I'm pretty sure all 3 tear drops were in her hair, the other treasures I believe were attached at the corners of the flag....
@@brittanycrossstitches Thank you so much for the information. I will look over my pattern again. Do you happen to know where I can purchase a copy of the Queen of Peace pattern! She's beautiful as well.
@TeresaRussell-ed6tw I do not. You could try Facebook groups or ebay.
I love dying fabric for certain charts. I'm always amazed how well they turn out.
I love throwing color at white fabric. I'm currently trying out some new to me dye and seeing how it reacts with scrap fabric.
I love your set up! Is the Lowery stand under your chair, and is it weighted down with anything? Mine tips over when I swing it away from me since the light is so heavy. What is keeping yours from tipping? It looks very secure.
It's weighted down with 35lbs in disc weights. I also make sure my light bar is parallel with my scroll frames. And the light gets pushed back as far as it goes before I swing it. It counter balances the weight by pushing the light back
Keep going❤
Definitely keep it since it looks great!
Thank so much for your advice!
I see the man, I think you should keep going! I’m sorry that you have had such a bad month with your migraines! I hope that you feel better soon! Can I ask where you buy your fabric? I’ve started dying my own as well and it’s hard to find affordable large pieces.
I buy it off 123 stitch.
Thank you!
Hi, Brittany. Good to see another episode from you. I am not sure if I've missed it in your previous episodes, but what is the thread you are using for "Pavane for these Times?" Also - where did you purchase that portable lamp with wings? I have to have one! Thanks.
The thread for pavane for these times is painter threads Picasso. As for the lamp, it's this one here GcSige Dual Head LED Desk Lamp with Clamp, Eye-Caring Clip on Lights for Home Office, 4000mAh Rechargeable Battery Operated Table Lamps,3 Lighting Modes & Brightness Dimmer Light for Kids Students a.co/d/doWg4xl I hope that helped!
@@brittanycrossstitches Thank you! Hang in there with the agony of waiting for the new insurance coverage to kick into effect. I have been there too.
@Jasmine-ur1sl it's just so stressful being that we have so many appointments in the next 2 months. We'll be fine it just stinks paying out of pocket
I think you should definatly keep going it looks amazing,. You are a very prolific stitcher Beautiful work and you dyeing skills are amazing
Thank you! I really just throw colors around. It's not hard at all to dye fabric that way I do. I also think I need to do another video about how I dye my fabric, for example I never explained how I gage what color will come out of the bottle, or how to use the same color to get multiple shades of that color, etc.... go a lot more indepth with it.
@@brittanycrossstitches I would really like that
I would continue and not restart it 7:06
I think I will continue. It looks pretty good in the video. Thanks for your opinion, I really appreciate it!
I could see a man reading a newspaper, you are looking at it too closely. So keep going.
Thanks so much for your opinion, I really appreciate it!
Look into the daith ear piecing for migraines. I got one side done and I don’t get migraines on that side.
I had it done on both sides, and it didn't help at all. I think it's because mine are from the pressure of the atmosphere. My husband's ex Co workers father, if that makes sense, gets the same kind of migraines I do and take feverfew, and it has helped him tremendously. So I've started taking that in the hopes it'll help. This past month has been hell. So I'm trying anything right now to see if it helps. I've been to neurologists, and they've tried tons of different medications, and none have ever worked. So I'm hoping the feverfew will at least help. I've it lessons the severity or even makes it so I don't have so many. I'll take it at this point.
So sorry to hear you had such an awful month with all the migraines! I hope the weather is getting more stable and it gets better by the day! The fairytale town looks totally fine in my opinion, but I get what you mean haha. I think it's most because you're sitting so close to it and then you can't unsee the 'blob' 😆 Thanks for sharing all the beautiful projects. I'm repeating myself but the fabrics you dye are soooo goooood. If you would live closer I would try to convince you to sell them to me haha ❤
Thank you! I really just throw color around. It's probably my painting background that helps, understanding color with warm tones and cool tones and stuff I think helps. Maybe one day I'll dye a piece of fabric and do a giveaway with it
I know how bad you feeling no medication worked for me
@rosesantiago9687 I hate it. I feel like I'm not doing my part, I'm a sahm, so if my husband comes home and dinner isn't ready or the house isn't clean, or he has to take the kids to Dr. Then I'm not holding up my end. Which he tells me to just relax and it's ok, he says you take care of everyone, you need to take care of yourself. Which I do, I just feel like I'm useless on days that my migraines are so bad it's all I can do to just survive.
Only part way through your video. I am so so sorry you had a rough month. Migraines are the pits I suffer from them but this month was good for me. My daughter in law however has suffered badly this month with migraines. Hoping May brings brighter days for you and your family 🩷. Also the Bella Filipina piece is amazingly gorgeous. I need to purchase a design of hers.
Which one Aquila or Cleopatra? I think they're both beautiful. Sending good vibes to your daughter in law in hopes this month is better for her as well. It was really bad for me last month but our weather was crazier than it normally is so I'm not surprised
@@brittanycrossstitches I replied before watching the whole video lol I was talking about Aquila and then I saw Cleopatra - wow she is amazing. I Love how striking Cleopatra is :)
@@Butterflyjonesful I really like the fabric I dyed for cleopatra. Aquila just belongs on blue fabric because she's the queen of the skies. Lol
@@brittanycrossstitches You always do such a beautiful job dying fabrics and knowing what will look best with each project ;)
@@Butterflyjonesful I try to see what I want to emphasize in whatever I'm stitching. Then I throw some color around
Thank you Brittany, My goodness what a month you have had, you must be utterly exhausted. Keep going with, Fairy Tale Village Brittany, it looks fine to me. Hope May is a kinder month for you, take care. Best wishes from uk.
It has been busy. But once I get my mother in law settled and everything sorted, I know she will feel better and she'll be able to relax. I am exhausted. However, it's worth it when I see how much my help is making others feel less stressed. I will keep going with fairytale village then. I wasn't sure, and I got pretty frustrated, and I had to just put it down. I figured I'd ask all of you to see what you think.
