Summary AI

Michelle from Cozyegg celebrates her birthday by starting a new sampler, Elizabeth Stevenson by Hands Across the Sea, which she affectionately calls her 'swan' piece despite the designer calling them geese. She discusses her recent shift from a scattered stitching approach to a more focused rotation of seven active projects, inspired by a moment of calm and her word of the year, 'distillation'. She shows several fully finished pieces, including a blessing sampler and Halloween ornaments, and shares her plans for the Wayback Stash SAL with a new start, Our House by The Good Huswife. The episode also covers her book recommendations and her ongoing efforts to organize her stitching supplies with thread drops and a new database.

  • Started Elizabeth Stevenson by Hands Across the Sea for her birthday, calling the geese 'swans'.

Description from YouTube
Welcome to Cozyegg - a seasonal creative journal centered on cross-stitch, books, food, and the quiet rhythms of everyday life. 

In this late-summer chapter, I’m celebrating my birthday with a new start, fully finishing a few pieces, and taking stock of my WIPs as I begin narrowing my focus for the transition into fall. 

Thank you so much for spending some time with me. I’m so glad you’re here.
