I was so surprised to see Owl Forest kit pop up in your video! You've made a great choice, their floss and patterns are a joy to work with! And a tip for whenever you go to their site again: they have an English version available through a link at the top right corner of the page. It's much easier to understand than Google Translate.

I so enjoy listening to your thought process. Thank you for welcoming us in.

[EmilyTheStudent]

My first time watching your videos! Hi 👋 😁! Thank you! I really enjoyed seeing all your pieces and your maynia plans! I look forward to watching back through all your videos. I really enjoy your style and the big variation of things you stitch! Cheers!

Brenda...your Maynia planning videos is one of my favorite videos of the year. Love your plans for this year and your accomplishments from Maynia past. Good to see you and I hope and pray your family is staying safe and well during this time ❤️

[jmfg]

Thanks. The house/birdhouse stitch is still my favorite. You’re so lucky to have a daughter that enjoys and appreciates your craft.

[JennsCraftyWorld]

I was planning on stitching during your video but there was too much eye candy! You have some beautiful projects to stitch over the next year-best of luck!

Hi 👋 I just started Hoity Toity too on my birthday! Just a couple weeks ago. The colors are so beautiful from Missus Sedas. I had so much fun seeing your Maynia picks and I really like your magnet board. I like how you can move them in different columns. American Sampler is just amazing. I’m waiting on my first Owl Forest to arrive. She thinks it’s still sitting in a Russian customs. It’s been about a month. Hopefully it will move soon. I hope you’re doing good and I’m off to watch your next video

[maryjoobrienmoulding]

Wow Brenda long video I ran out of coffee this morning before I ran out of you. Shoulda started your video when I first got up!Amazing plans. I LOVE Hoity Toity. I just don’t know just don’t know. If I should I love her colors though ❤️ . You will have so much more time in May To stitch for Maynia since you will be home. I don’t do maynia but it’s fun to see others plans. I love your beach stitch I may have to do it for “Our” Beloved Bear Lake. Take care and stay safe. 🌷🌷🌷

[ElizzaBeast]

I love that sampler behind you… I found an old cross stitch magazine at a thrift store that had an ad for it

Now it sits in my wishlist on Etsy now I might just have to get it, lol

[darleneurso]

I had wondered about mixing cotton and silk. Thanks for mentioning this.

[gloriafagan]

Hi Brenda, I hope you and your family are all keeping safe and well. Thank you for posting your Maynia pieces from 2019 - it was like seeing old friends! Looking forward to seeing your progress on your WIPs and your new starts for 2020. A lovely idea to get Catherine to put some stitches in on the Sunflower piece. Stay safe. Best wishes, Glo
