You're coming!
The humidity is kind of...
That's the worst part.
The temperature is not beautiful.
Yeah, I thought it was going to be a nightmare.
Wait, oh my gosh!
Can you guys see this?
I don't know.
I'm not going to pick it up until I go through it all.
I'm so excited to have it done.
How long have you done a belt before?
How long has it taken you to go?
Well, I got it in September.
And I didn't really stitch on it until we started the background.
And so it's going on for days.
And I just taught myself how to basket weave.
I taught myself how to basket weave.
It's brutal.
Last week it was like 100 degrees.
I was sick.
I was in Texas a lot.
I was in Tennessee a lot.
It's just the humidity.
It's thick.
It's bad.
It feels like you're being assaulted.
In Dallas, it doesn't feel like that.
It's just sort of sticking all the time.
I just want to walk outside.
Did you really?
Yeah.
That's so...
Oh my gosh, that.
I didn't even realize you had that on.
Oh, I'd love to know.
Wait.
It's the red wing I was checking.
Red wing.
The famous.
Charlie's going to die.
That is so...
Oh my god, that's so...
Oh my god.
That's so cute.
That is like the cutest thing ever.
Oh my gosh.
Wait, hold it down.
Thank you so much.
A little veil.
I'm obsessed with that.
Harrison is just a little needlepoint cult at this bag.
Oh, absolutely.
The bag is needlepoint cult.
I know it is.
Thank you guys so much to everyone who came.
That is like literally the nicest thing ever.
Oh, that's awesome.
She's not insane.
That's like actually the sweetest thing ever.
We're also going to do...
It's Charlie's idea, like find a restaurant.
And he's still going to fail at that?
No, I don't know.
No, I was thinking this.
I was like, Charlie's going to die.
Because this is his...
This is his diet.
Like, that's how crazy he wants it.
Like, that actually was already the worst.
Yeah.
Good morning, y'all.
I am back home.
Today is Tuesday.
Yesterday, I was just trying to catch up as much as possible.
I reached a level of exhaustion that like has to be some sort of like hormonal thing.
Last week was so amazing.
Sorry I didn't say hello before the Nashville tour.
It just kind of like popped up really quickly.
And then we started filming and I forgot to like do a true intro.
Anyway, last week we went and toured a bunch of venues.
And then from there, we went straight to Nashville.
We did the Nashville tour.
And then I recorded a podcast.
I got to see some of my like favorite people ever.
It was such a good week, but I'm so tired.
And this week, we are back in Texas for the week.
Sierra is getting married this weekend.
I'm so excited.
I changed my dress last minute, so I have a new one that I overnighted that's coming here this week.
I'm really happy because my two best friends, Macy and Dom, are going to be in town, which is just going to be so fab.
Macy already had lunch with y'all when they've been dating I think officially like 12 hours.
You know, she just loves you guys.
But she has a boyfriend and he's like super sweet.
I actually haven't even met him still, but I feel like I know everything about him.
So we're meeting him this weekend.
It's going to be a really, a really big week.
I'm so excited for Sierra.
Like it's just...
Also, I cannot believe how fast time goes.
Like I remember us talking like when they first got engaged and then to now.
Like I remember us talking about the date of the wedding and stuff.
And like it really felt like it was so far away.
And the fact that it's just like already here is insane.
Also, thank you guys so much for all the love.
I haven't like sat down to like a normal proper vlog clip.
But thank you so much for all the love on the updated podcast stuff.
I am just loving it.
And like, oh my god, I'm just so grateful.
Like every single day.
I mean, not even just right now, but like especially right now.
Every single day, I'm just so grateful for you guys.
Because honestly, you guys are just the best.
I think number one, like being able to be doing this Stitch Tour and seeing you guys in real life.
Obviously, it's a very different experience than like messages and stuff online.
Because you're with each other like in person.
And it just like is so cool.
Every time I went to Papa, the number one thing that I said to me is these girls are the nicest girls in the world.
And like they are, you guys are literally just the best.
When we're in line at Stitch Tour and like I will come out and like say hello and stuff before the doors open.
I forget every single time that you guys didn't all come together.
Because everyone knows each other.
Like everyone has become friends.
Everyone's like sitting in line like stitching together.
It seriously seems like you all came.
Like that is why you should never be afraid to come alone to any events.
Because all of these girls are coming along, most of them.
Or maybe with a friend and they leave and they know like literally everyone.
I was getting messages off to Dallas from girls that had met in line that like went out to dinner together.
And then it's only Tuesday.
And I've already gotten messages of in Nashville of girls doing that.
And it was just the nicest like sweetest thing ever.
Also if you guys want the Nashville Canvases.
They, I don't know when this vlog is going up.
So I'm not sure if they will still be available.
But they are on nationalneedleworks.com on their website.
I don't know if that's actually their URL.
But it's nationalneedleworks.
But yeah, anyway.
It's going to be a really good week at home.
I need to start unpacking.
It's 7am.
I like cancelled my work because I was like look I just have to get things done.
Like I am unwell.
Okay.
And also we have a new team member starting today.
Which is really exciting.
And much needed.
She's going to be helping me primarily with a ton of stuff.
And just like helping run front of mine.
And all that stuff.
And they get here around 9am.
Also.
I just want to throw this out here.
Or out there.
Um.
I think this might be a bad idea.
But I do just want to say.
That by the end of the year.
I am wanting to hire like another like junior designer.
Who would specifically go in for like needlepoint stuff.
We would also be able to teach you that program.
That would not be hard.
We're definitely more like design forward than we are like just wanting like needlepoint.
Like we need like a junior designer who can like help with like graphics and stuff.
But like mainly it would be like needlepoint designs and things like that.
Um.
And then also we would be looking for like a social girl.
And that would only be like full time hires in Dallas.
So I don't want like agencies.
I don't want anything.
I want like a full time Dallas hire.
Two hires for those.
Um.
I don't know exactly when we're going to be able to do that.
When that's happening.
I have a lot of calls into like our account and stuff.
So they're actually like running this stuff this week.
Anyway.
The team is growing.
And just putting that out there.
Because that's going to be a bit from now.
But I do like desperately desperately need it.
Oh my god.
Also.
We announced our collaboration with Harrison.
And we haven't actually officially announced it.
We've just been teasing it.
And I mean guys like just look at this.
This is my favorite shoot we've ever done.
Let me just.
Sorry.
That's the wrong Instagram.
You would think I would know how to do this.
Well first off.
Look at how insane that looks.
Like so good.
Oh my god.
My friend Natalie.
Who like I.
She's my friend.
Because I met her as her photographer.
She's the best.
She's just so talented.
And like.
Look at that.
That's the very end.
Insane.
And then we have one that we're posting today.
Of Harrison.
I'll show you guys that too.
In case you guys are interested.
Also.
Look at Hayley.
Like our creative director.
Look at what she made.
For the invite.
How insane is that?
Like.
That is actually.
Insane.
Okay.
Last one.
I'm going to show you guys.
Because I really need to get on.
Moving with my day.
Look at how perfect that is.
He looks insane.
Like.
Amazing.
And then.
He like.
Opens the.
Closure.
However you pronounce it.
And it's a needle point.
Unreal.
Right?
So good.
Obsessed.
Alright guys.
It is time.
To get.
To.
Work.
A.K.A.
I need to unpack.
And get some things.
Going.
I'm not ready.
To take my eye patches.
Off yet.
Because.
My face.
Just feels.
So.
Puffy.
And I actually.
Think that they work.
I'll be honest with you.
And whether or not.
It's supposed to be.
I don't really care.
I still need to like.
Ice roll or something.
Anyway.
I did come home.
To an exciting package.
From primal appear.
And they are.
Lip and cheek tints.
And then.
This sun serum.
Tinted SPF 30.
I don't think I've used this.
Unless I just like.
I'm lying.
I cannot remember.
I'm never lying.
I just truly have like.
No memory.
I either remember.
If anyone's ever told me something.
I'll remember that.
Till the day I die.
So I actually.
In all seriousness.
Do catch people lying all the time.
Because I'm like.
That is not what you said.
Or.
I have no recollection.
Of my own life.
Like at all.
Like I don't know.
But it's like.
There's some.
There has to be like.
A different way.
That your memories are stored.
Based on.
If it's like.
Auditory.
Or is it.
I don't know.
What do you even say?
I don't.
It's too early guys.
I have no idea.
Do you know what I'm saying though?
Like that stuff.
I remember.
Other stuff.
I don't.
Anyway.
I wanted to try this.
This is not sponsored.
Primarily Pure.
Is like my favorite skincare brand in the world.
Though I use their Everything Balm.
Every single day.
It's so good.
I've also recently.
Been loving the Real Actives Cleansing Balm.
Best cleansing balm I've ever used.
And then.
In Beauty.
There's nothing better than that one moisturizer.
For.
Skin prep.
For makeup.
Because my balm is not great under makeup.
But on days that you like.
Don't wear makeup.
Or at night.
Or whatever.
Like most of the time.
If I'm not.
Like I would say more days than not.
Especially in the summer.
Like I'm not like wearing like actual like.
Full beat.
You know what I mean?
So then I just do the balm.
But.
That.
Moisturizer.
Underneath the skincare.
And even just without it.
Looks amazing.
Anyway.
I'm excited to try.
This lip.
In Cheap Tint.
Let's see.
I'm not like obsessed with the colors.
I will say.
I feel like this one is darker.
But it's almost like too.
This actually might be good.
This might be giving me the sunburnt.
Look that I'm going for.
Okay.
Goes on fine.
I feel like this is something.
A lip.
In Cheap Tint.
I always.
Like better as.
See it's like a little too orange.
Especially right now.
When I have no makeup on.
And I'm pale.
And.
I have my eye patches on.
So let's just ignore that.
Um.
I do think I would really like it as a blush though.
Because it's.
A good consistency.
And then the lip oil.
I love their lip oil.
So good.
Alright.
Well.
I don't love the color on me.
But.
It feels good.
Now I just kind of look.
Ridiculous.
But it's okay.
We will survive.
I also need to share with you all.
Some things that people brought me.
To the Nashville pop up.
Which by the way.
Is so Nashville.
Like Nashville is.
Obviously I live in the south.
But Nashville is like.
More southern.
And that was the number one thing I noticed.
Not the number one thing.
That's like a huge difference.
Like when you host in Nashville.
Like no one shows up empty handed.
They bring gifts galore.
Like they're so over the top southern.
And just like so.
Sweet.
Like I feel like.
Like I would host a dinner party.
And I was like.
Like the amount of people would bring.
I'm like.
Oh my god.
We could feed like.
5x.
The amount of people that we have here.
But they always bring gifts.
They always do whatever.
They're just like.
So cute and southern.
It like inspired me.
To be a way better host.
And like way better hostess gifts.
And things like that.
Like that's really where I feel like.
I took my stuff.
To the next level.
In that department.
Because I was inspired by my girls there.
Anyway.
I have.
Some things.
Some gifts.
That are insane.
Um.
Also.
This is.
I mean.
Charlie bought this for me.
So I guess it is a gift.
I got a scroll.
Because I'm interested to see.
If I like to use a scroll.
Whenever I'm stitching belts.
And I do have a belt.
That I.
Need to stitch him.
So.
If you guys.
Stitch on belts.
Or on scrolls.
Let me know.
The thing is.
Like I mean.
I'm the one who asked him.
To get that for me.
But.
Like I also like.
That I can just throw it in my bag.
And it's small.
But I also.
Like I love the lap stand.
Like that's the greatest thing.
That ever happened to me.
So I'm like.
I feel like.
I would love this scroll.
I don't know.
But then my new friend.
At National Needleworks.
Said that.
She doesn't.
I just don't know.
I'm gonna have to try it out.
Okay.
First up.
This is like the sweetest.
I mean.
Everything is just like.
So unbelievably sweet.
Oh.
I also.
Because National Needleworks.
They just have.
This is something that I purchased.
They have the best.
Fiber selection.
I've ever seen in my life.
Like I truly.
Actually.
The creative stitches in Dallas.
Like it's probably the only store.
I think I've ever seen.
To rival them.
And I need to go there more.
Because they just have.
Way better stuff.
But I just.
This is like.
I just need to go thrift shopping.
And just grab some things.
For fun.
Because I just love their stuff.
Also.
I've always wanted this little.
Stitched angel.
And.
Someone was stitching it in line.
Two people were.
And I was like.
Alright.
I'm done.
Like I have to do that.
Little hydrangea.
Look at the little Nantucket.
Angel to me.
So that'll be.
Really cute.
And part of me wants to make this.
Like a fridge magnet.
I don't know.
I have so many of the angels.
Like I need to get them done.
So I can.
Get them finished.
And do ornaments this year.
Anyway.
I got a lot of like.
Watercolor stuff.
I've actually like.
Never even.
Really.
I've never used this stuff.
And I've never really.
Stranded either.
But like.
Beautiful.
Okay.
Beautiful.
That's like a really.
Light pink.
Light.
Like butter yellow.
This.
I just thought these.
Colors were cool.
I've never worked with this stuff.
But I was like.
I like the vibe.
Here we go.
And then.
They had these little grab bags.
That were fun.
And it's like.
Stuff that I wouldn't.
Always like.
Use and have.
You know what I should have done?
Stocked up on DMC.
While I was there.
For a recording.
Big mistake.
Okay.
Now moving on.
Into the gifts from people.
First things first.
This is from.
KJ.
Made by KJ.
Custom embroidery.
And gifts.
And guys.
Here is her.
Little card.
For her small business.
If you guys.
Are interested.
She.
Made me.
This cute little.
Keychain.
That says.
If lost.
Return to Charlie.
And she said.
She did the green.
Because of the new house guest.
Rebrand.
But how cute is that?
So.
Made by KJ.
Custom embroidery.
And gifts.
Her Instagram is.
Made by.
Underscore.
KJ.
So.
Sweet.
The women at.
Hatchimal Needleworks.
Had this painted for me.
They also gave me fibers.
Which is just.
Like.
So nice.
They said.
That they've done this.
I think they've done this.
For two people.
For like bridal showers.
Or something.
Like something bridal.
But it was just.
So sweet.
They had this painted for me.
A little cowboy hat.
How.
Perfect.
And they gave me fibers.
For it as well.
Literally.
Like.
So.
So sweet.
Okay.
In the theme.
Of canvases.
You guys are gonna die.
Also.
Like.
We are obviously doing.
A bridal needlepoint collection.
And we do have.
A male.
Like.
Partner.
For Dolly.
That's been.
In the works.
So like.
This canvas.
We actually are making.
Like.
This is like.
In our designs.
For our.
Um.
Like.
Bridal era.
Which is just like.
So funny.
Cause I'm like.
Dang.
You're really on it.
Because that's like.
Literally what we're doing.
Oh.
One more thread before bed.
She gave me.
Oh.
This.
Look.
How sweet.
With our logo on it.
And then guys.
Are you ready to die?
How insane.
So she.
Got the chart of Dolly.
And then she did a rooster.
And there's a veil on Dolly.
And then a bowtie on.
The rooster.
So it's like.
Me and Charlie.
Getting married.
Like.
It's actually.
Just the cutest thing ever.
And then I'm gonna do a really fun.
Decorative stitch in the background.
Like.
Something like.
I don't know.
Actually.
Exactly.
But.
Like.
This is gonna be.
So good.
So this is for Madison.
And she was just.
An angel.
I was obsessed with her.
Also.
Just the cutest girl ever.
Her Instagram is.
At.
Keeping.
The creativity.
But like.
Oh my god.
It was actually.
I'm keeping this card forever.
It was.
Like.
The sweetest thing ever.
No one ever needed to bring me gifts.
At all.
Like.
That did not need to happen.
At all.
Also.
I will show you.
What she made Paris into.
Because.
She gave me something to bring back to him.
The little.
Needlepoint bag.
That he has.
Like.
How funny is that?
Like.
Literally.
So cute.
And then.
I'll.
Have him.
Open the rest of that.
But.
Guys.
Like.
Seriously.
Just so cute.
I wanted to share that stuff.
But.
I mean.
Hello.
Canvas Glore.
This.
Is gonna be.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Like.
Something fun.
I'm not a big framer when it comes to needlepoint.
But I actually do think that this could be a fun thing to frame.
Even though I'm not.
I'm normally like a pillow.
Ornament.
Door hanger.
Kind of person.
Oh.
This would be a good door hanger for our room too.
But I already have a door hanger.
I don't know.
You can never go wrong with a pillow.
So.
Anyway.
Like.
Obsessed with that stuff.
Like.
Seriously.
Just so.
Nice.
Also.
I love Stitch It.
Like.
It's similar to our Dolly of the Month.
Like.
Our.
All of our.
Like.
Little 13 mesh dollies.
Because.
It's a quick stitch.
It's a very good palette cleanser.
You can get through it.
Like.
Fairly quickly.
It's simple.
It's easy.
You don't have to think much.
And like.
Sometimes you just need a project like that.
Like.
I need a.
If I'm working on a bigger thing.
Or if my brain is just like.
Absolutely fried.
Like.
I need a palette cleanser.
So.
Anyway.
Alright.
I have to go.
These vlogs have become needle point vlogs.
Guys.
I am really sorry.
I need to go antique shopping.
Soon.
I saw on Instagram.
Or.
No I didn't.
On TikTok.
This girl.
I need to find her TikTok.
But.
She uses like.
An antique bowl.
To store all of her makeup.
And I'm like.
That looks.
Insane.
I also just need to go antique shopping.
In general.
To get more plates and stuff.
And I just like.
Need it.
Spiritually.
You know.
So.
I'm hoping that I can get there.
At some point this week.
Because.
There's just some great.
Stores around.
That I need to get to.
Hi.
Y'all.
Happy.
Wednesday.
I just had.
A great workout this morning.
I went on a podcast.
Um.
Yesterday was a great.
Onboarding day.
And.
Today.
We are just.
Getting to work.
I'm wearing this Reformation dress.
Here's the thing about a Reformation dress.
Nothing will ever.
Fit you better.
And you will have it.
Quite literally.
Forever.
But.
Getting to work today.
Lots of stuff to do.
Also.
We'll be talking about the wedding.
Very soon.
Because.
We are going to sign a contract.
Very shortly.
I just finally got.
The most.
Beautiful.
Let me show you.
Utensils.
Okay.
I've been waiting on these.
From Pottery Barn.
For the longest time.
It's part of like a deal thing that I did with them.
So I was able to pick some things out.
And I fell.
In love with these.
They're like tortoise.
Oh.
My god.
I'm organizing my utensils.
Right now.
And we will be switching these out.
But guys.
Like.
Old school YouTube.
How.
Perfect.
Are these.
I'm in love Harrison's gonna love them.
Y'all.
Had a very.
Very.
Productive.
Work day.
It's now like 6pm.
And I'm about to make.
A Chrissy.
A cross Chrissy's table.
Who is my.
Fate.
And my friend.
But also like my favorite.
Influencer.
And she made.
This like tortellini.
Artichoke heart.
Roasted red peppers.
Little like.
Pasta salad.
And we're gonna add.
A shredded chicken.
And I'm doing.
Banana peppers.
She said.
That you could.
She does it normally.
I love banana peppers.
And then it has.
Olives.
Roasted red peppers.
And she was using.
A store bought.
Italian sauce.
So I was like.
That.
Honestly.
I'm gonna do that.
So.
We are still.
In the midst.
Or in the process.
Of.
Expanding.
This entire plate wall.
To.
The entire wall.
And then long term.
Of course.
All of.
This couch.
Will be covered.
In needlepoint pillows.
That is.
The plan.
These are actually gonna go away.
And they're gonna be like an Easter edition.
Um.
I do have.
A couple pillows.
That need to go in for finishing.
So.
That's another thing that we're doing.
Also.
I have.
All my finishing stuff.
That's another thing.
We're gonna get organized.
Probably while I'm away in August.
All of that will be.
Organized in the office.
Whatever.
Anyway.
I am in the midst.
Of making.
This entire wall.
A plate wall.
I actually.
Thrift.
And antique.
Like most of my plates.
There's a couple.
That I've really.
I mean.
None of them have been.
Super expensive.
But like.
I've spent a little bit more on.
Um.
I got a good deal.
On the vintage raw floorings.
Like those are not super expensive.
None of them are expensive.
Like.
Most of these.
I got for.
A couple of dollars.
At antique stores.
A couple.
I've bought online.
I bought them a couple years ago though.
So I cannot remember.
Like exactly.
What I paid for them.
But.
Like.
You can go to an antique store.
And get really great.
Great.
Cute.
Plates.
For very inexpensive.
Doing a plate wall.
If you do it that way.
Can be really.
Cost effective.
Also.
It's definitely like.
Way cheaper than like.
Getting a legit.
Art piece and stuff.
I use the Amazon.
Like.
Plate wall.
Hangers.
Um.
And they're super easy.
My mom is an interior decorator.
So.
She helps me actually hang them.
And I've been collecting plates.
I actually have.
A ton.
At our photographer's studio.
Right now.
That are gonna get picked up.
For me tomorrow.
And.
Those are bowls.
That I won't be able to use.
But I'm just going through.
And counting them.
Because my mom and I.
Think it's gonna be around.
Sixty five.
Plates.
If I were to guess.
And if I am doing.
The math correctly.
Which I'm probably not.
But.
I think I need about.
Forty more.
And honestly.
I think I have.
Forty.
I need to do the math.
Okay.
Shop lady and George.
Is where I.
Got some of these done.
This.
Well.
This is actually a gift from them.
Which is so.
Nice.
Like.
How cute is that.
From our engagement.
So sweet.
This one.
I had commissioned.
And it's my.
Grandpa's roadster.
That's like.
Been in the family longer.
Than my mom's been alive.
This tiger.
My brother's name.
Or not name.
His like.
Nickname.
My dad's nickname was tiger.
So I thought that was sweet.
In the end of that scarf.
Which is fun.
And then.
This Charlie and Kenzie.
Which is so cute.
Also guys.
Like.
I don't know why I'm feeling.
Very drawn to like.
Swans for our wedding.
But is that so overdone.
I don't know.
Part of me is like.
I feel like it's overdone.
But also like.
I don't know.
That's kind of what I'm feeling.
These are cute little custom moments.
This we got.
At an antique store.
In Savannah.
The little Georgia peach.
These I got on.
Marketplace.
This Meredith Hall got me.
Which is one of my favorite plates ever.
This one I thought was so cool.
I got these in like.
Bundles on basic marketplace.
And they kind of like.
Do this.
Really.
I mean.
It's not.
There's people on basic marketplace.
That will just collect these.
And like.
Make them into a bundle for you.
These are not bundles.
These are all like.
Mixed up.
And I have different things going for me now.
Anyway.
And a lot of the really.
My cute.
Like.
The favorite ones that I have.
Are at the photographer's house.
But I love this.
It's gonna be just like.
Really colorful.
And really.
Really fun.
We also got this when we were in.
Charleston.
From an antique store.
It's obviously not an antique.
But I thought this would be fun.
And also this is like.
A true nod to.
If you guys don't know.
Dolly.
The chicken.
The mascot for.
Friend of mine.
My home and hobby band.
Dolly.
Is like.
Just our mascot.
Because I grew up in the era.
Of like.
Roosters being all over.
Your home.
As far as like.
Home decor.
Whether it be the wallpaper.
Or the plates.
Or the little like.
Like the actual chickens.
Out and about.
Not like.
Living chickens.
I mean like.
Can you guys tell.
I'm losing it today.
But like.
Back in the early 2000s.
When roosters were the decor.
All my family.
Most of them.
They're interior decorators.
And we all had like.
The same houses.
And like.
It's just very like.
It's a nod to my childhood.
Anyway.
We have more of these.
How cute.
And then I have.
These.
Probably won't be used for the plate wall.
But we might use.
I mean.
These would be.
Some of these.
More cabbage.
These were probably.
The biggest like.
Investment pieces.
I've been collecting these.
For years now.
But.
Harrison and I.
Went to this like.
Fun.
Vintage shopping.
To Austin together.
And.
It's so cool.
So like.
They're just like.
Texas.
Little.
Plates.
I thought that was fun.
And then I just have a couple extra.
Just in case we need.
I actually.
Kind of think.
I'm just.
I don't know.
I'm such a visual person.
But like.
I cannot tell.
I kind of think.
Like.
Once I get the other.
Like.
Ten plates back.
Maybe we're close to being able.
To get this going.
Like.
This is really.
It's really gonna be something.
Alright.
We are ready for this.
I'm also.
Just.
Obsessed.
With the new forks.
This is what you have to look forward to.
Everyone.
When you're an adult.
I mean.
I'm sure you guys are all my age.
But you guys get what I'm saying.
Anyway.
The one thing that we're having some issues with.
For my Chrissy.
Let me see what she even calls this.
I'll show you guys.
The video.
In case you guys are wanting to look it up.
I'll show you the video.
Give me one second.
Okay.
I love a tortellini pasta salad.
Here's the issue.
Is that.
Um.
I gave like.
A list of stuff to Charlie.
And he did the grocery order.
And they like.
Sliced the provolone.
So they must have been out of.
Like a.
Actually just like.
A block of provolone.
So.
Ignore that.
We're gonna have to like.
Kind of make that.
You know.
Look a little bit better.
So.
Starting off with artichoke hearts.
I die for artichoke hearts.
I die for like.
Everything in this menu.
Or in this recipe.
So I'm gonna love it.
If you guys are watching.
Um.
Or were watching the vlogs.
Like last fall.
When I made that like.
Chickpea sweet potato thing.
It was so good.
Like also like.
Such an inexpensive dinner.
I think that was like.
The title of the TikTok.
Or like the hook.
Or whatever.
Um.
That was also her recipe.
And it's amazing.
She's also just my favorite.
We've mentioned her on like.
Pretty much every single.
House guest episode.
In the past month.
So.
Okay.
I'm gonna tear this up.
A little bit.
Cause.
I thought these were gonna be.
A little more chopped.
I'm really excited though.
Because I just called my mom.
I looked through the plates.
That I've been collecting.
We're already at like.
32 there.
We have.
10 or 12 of my photographers.
And I.
We have some extra.
Like just around.
So I think.
We're totally fine.
And I called her.
And I said.
All I want for my birthday.
Is to hang the entire plate wall.
Like that's all I want.
I just want that.
Done.
And that.
That's it.
She was like.
Okay.
Cool.
So.
Next week.
We're gonna.
Hang the plate wall.
Which I'm really looking forward to.
It's gonna be a very exciting time for me.
And I'm gonna live for it.
I love.
To have.
A pasta salad.
In the fridge.
Especially.
With like shredded chicken.
For lunch.
Because then.
You have this.
Especially when I was living alone.
I would have this full.
Pasta salad.
That I could just eat from.
All week.
And it just.
Gets better.
As it sits.
Chrissy did not care.
About this.
Oh.
It's been kind of sitting there.
For a second.
I guess.
But Chrissy did not care.
About putting this in.
When it was hot.
She said she kind of likes it.
So.
That's great.
I'm gonna shred this up more.
Charlie likes it.
Like very shredded.
There's really nothing better.
Than like a productive day.
Followed by.
A nice.
Evening.
Like everything.
Shower.
Getting in your pajamas.
A little bit early.
Making.
A nice.
Dinner.
That you've been craving.
Candles burning.
Music on.
Except my music isn't on.
And then going to bed early.
Starting to read.
Started back up my sourdough starter today.
She's coming along.
I just feel like I kind of messed her up when I was like rehydrating her.
Okay.
This is like really gonna be a mess.
Um.
I'm a little bit insecure about it.
And I'm like worried.
Because I.
For the longest time.
Had not made a bad loaf.
Really.
Ever.
And then.
Towards the end of my time in Nashville.
Like something was happening with that starter.
So now.
I've started a new starter again.
And blah blah blah.
And I'm like.
Ugh.
Also this is so crazy to have.
This kind of cheese in here.
It's not gonna get the same effect.
I will say.
I like that it's store-bought Italian.
Dressing.
Here's the thing.
I.
Like don't actually like store-bought dressings now.
That I like started to make my own.
But I don't like to make my own dressing.
Like something that's like.
Ugh.
I don't know why.
I just hate it.
Maybe we should just top it with these.
But whatever.
I also just love.
Tortellini anything.
Personally.
Let's see.
I don't like.
Hate.
To clarify.
Store-bought dressing at all.
But I.
Like.
I understand.
Like.
The.
All the chefs.
Like their superiority complex.
Once they like make their own dressing.
You know what I'm saying?
And now I'm like.
Well that's me.
Also.
I got one of those cool little.
Like.
Things that you put the dressing in.
When you make it yourself.
That's also a measuring cup.
Slash.
Like you mix it in.
You know what I'm talking about?
Anyway.
It's very good.
Wow.
I will say.
This looks amazing.
It's a little hard to toss.
I'm always afraid.
When I make like.
One of my friends recipes.
Cause I'm like.
I hope that they like.
Think it's okay.
You know what I mean?
Cause she looks amazing.
Like this looks great.
Also.
I forgot to show y'all.
First off.
Look how organized this is.
Second.
Look at how.
Beautiful.
Oh my god.
I'm so happy.
I've been waiting for these.
I've been wanting like.
Nice footwear.
This is like.
Such a dumb thing.
For so.
So.
So long.
And then I finally.
Have the opportunity.
Thanks to Pottery Barn.
But like.
Oh my god.
They're beautiful.
Beautiful.
Also.
Sometimes I do get questions on these.
Little spoons.
They're from.
I believe.
Um.
I got them like.
Probably three or four years ago.
But they're really cute.
And I used to have them.
Like whenever I have hot coffee.
I use these.
They're just the cutest things ever.
Happy Friday y'all.
I have not vlogged.
That much this week.
Because it's mainly just been like.
Working from home.
This weekend is Sierra's wedding.
I'm so.
Excited.
This morning.
As you guys saw.
Some clips.
We went to Savile.
Because Harrison and I are coming out.
With our needlepoint collection.
We have an event.
And he wanted to film some stuff.
And so.
We brought him.
All of his samples.
And everything.
From the photo shoot.
And then.
I had my workout this morning.
Something about getting ready at the gym.
Also.
Just is amazing.
Like.
I can be ready fully for the day.
Within like ten minutes of working out.
Shower.
Get ready.
Versus like.
You know.
These are just the things.
This is why I want an office.
I can get ready at the gym.
Go to the office.
Perfect.
Anyway.
It's also really exciting.
Because my two best friends are in town this weekend.
For Sierra's wedding.
So.
Macy is here.
With her boyfriend.
Dom is also here.
With her girlfriend.
She's actually flying in currently.
And we are going to go get lunch with Dom today.
Which is exciting.
So.
It's going to be a really good weekend.
I'll probably vlog into the weekend.
Just because I've done such a bad job this week.
And also.
Everyone's together.
It's going to be such a happy time tonight.
With the welcome drinks.
For Sierra's wedding.
I.
Immigrated to Halcyon.
Which is like.
What.
It's such a good place.
Like.
I love that place.
Also.
We.
Kitted a couple things today.
While we were there.
And.
If you guys are not in the needlepoint world.
That just means you picked your fibers.
Your threads.
I love.
This color combination.
Like.
I'm really fixating on this right now.
Like.
A red and a blue.
That's not super like.
Fourth of July.
You know what I mean?
Like.
I like it where it's like.
A little bit richer.
And I just love this color combo.
So.
I chose those.
For this.
And I'm going to make this into a magnet.
I already stitched.
This.
I did this in like.
A day.
Last weekend.
Over the fourth.
And then I'm going to use.
Just because I love these colors so much.
And don't want to go Hobby Lobby.
We're going to use this for cording.
And it's going to be a fridge magnet.
But I love.
The idea.
Of both of these.
Being fridge magnets.
And then I think.
Also from the collection.
I mean.
I'm definitely.
At some point.
Going to need to stitch one of these too.
I probably will do the 13 mesh.
For.
The like.
Actual like.
Dining.
Couch.
This.
I'm obsessed with the spurtles.
As a little like.
Door hanger.
For the kitchen.
I think I could put it over.
That.
Over the pantry.
The.
The doorknobs are kind of annoying there.
So I don't know exactly where I'll put it.
But I just think that it's really cute.
Or even as like.
A small pillow.
Oh.
You know what I'm going to do?
No.
Scratch that.
This is going to be a small pillow.
And it's going to be on one of my bar stools.
Perfect.
Oh my god.
Wait.
I could do that for a couple of them.
The martini maybe.
The 13.
Um.
I don't know how much I've shown you guys.
In the actual vlogs.
I can't remember.
Because I know that we like.
Blurred a lot of it.
Because it came out in the vlog.
Before we like.
Went live with it.
Harrison always catches his sweet potato.
Like casserole.
On fire on Thanksgiving.
So we had to do a little nod to that.
And like.
This would also be kind of a fun little like.
Or a door hanger.
Really more of a door hanger.
But the problem is.
That I'm really into door hangers right now.
And like.
There's not enough doors.
For the amount of door hangers.
That I'm currently making.
So.
Anyway.
I'm loving these colors.
If you guys are interested.
They're Milan.
I'm on a Milan kick these days.
I don't know when I just converted to Milan.
But that's just what I've been stitching with.
Milan Merlot.
Um.
And then Dew.
Love these.
In case you need them.
So.
Love.
Love those.
Alright.
Now I need to get back to work.
It's going to be a really good weekend though.
I'm really excited about this little fridge magnet.
Obsessed.
Alright y'all.
Charlie and I.
Are about to sign.
The contract.
For our wedding.
I've been meaning to do this all week.
And I.
Just kept forgetting.
Honestly.
So.
It is now.
Welcome party.
Drinks.
Time.
I just.
Got dressed really quickly.
We went to lunch.
At Honor Bar.
With John and her girlfriend.
I didn't vlog that.
Sorry.
I know I've done a really bad job.
I've already talked about that.
This week.
Um.
But I'm obviously not going to like.
Throw a camera in someone's face that I just met.
With that being said.
We're meeting Macy's boyfriend tonight.
Really a big day.
Um.
Okay.
Here is what I'm wearing.
To.
The welcome drinks.
These shoes are fun.
Sierra.
Here's the thing.
Whenever I go anywhere.
Even if I know I'm on theme.
Or correct.
Or whatever.
I'm always like.
Slightly anxious.
That I'm incorrect.
However.
I saw what the other girls were wearing.
And I'm like.
Okay.
This feels like.
In line.
And also.
Sierra said she wanted color.
So I was like.
I don't know.
And then I still have this bag.
That I got from Big Rel.
That I need to send back.
But I was like.
Wait.
I think this is so cute.
I actually wore.
What did I wear today?
I think it was actually like.
Something.
Was it like.
Grandma's wedding?
I don't know.
I wore this.
Like boots.
With this bag.
And that.
Like I love green and blue.
I love this whole thing.
Charlie.
Do you want to come show them your suit?
I mean.
I won't wear a crossbody.
But.
You guys get the vibe.
I need to switch my stuff over.
Charlie's in a suit.
We didn't.
The guys were all dressed up.
But like.
We told all of our.
Boyfriends.
To wear suits.
And so.
They're just doing it together.
Oh.
Okay.
Look.
It's got a palm tree in it.
For Palma.
So.
Anyway.
We're off to the welcome drinks.
I had two margaritas at lunch.
Guys.
And like.
It really.
I don't.
Why do you have such like.
Fuzz on you?
It's all fizz.
Fizz.
That's not fizz.
That's fuzz.
And fizz doesn't shed.
Anyway.
Got some needlepoint staples.
While we're here.
I will show you.
So.
For our.
Like.
Stitch tour.
We have.
Obviously.
Exclusive canvases.
For every single city.
I've already shown you guys.
The Nantucket ones.
And also.
Depending on when this vlog goes up.
They might be on Instagram.
But for the actual Nantucket.
Like.
Collection.
We are doing this as an actual.
Online.
True.
Launch.
In August.
Right after.
Our Nantucket stuff.
So we have a lot.
More options of stuff.
We will still have all of those things.
At the tour stop.
Um.
But we're also going to have these.
And then we'll also have these.
Launched online.
Like.
Because we're going to have more stuff.
Of like.
This collection.
So.
This is.
A way more intricate.
10x10.
We haven't taped these just yet.
Of Nantucket.
Which is also going to be something else.
Surprise.
Or.
Hint.
Then we have this one.
Sorry.
I guess it's kind of hard to see in this lighting.
I love.
This one.
Sailboat.
Dolly.
Like.
How amazing would this be?
Like.
I need all of these finished.
For my Nantucket house one day.
Dolly shopping.
I mean.
She's everything.
Then we have.
Dolly beach day.
And then we have.
The actual.
Like.
Lobster.
Over the table.
I don't know why I'm blanking on the name right now.
I am just operating at.
Like.
Where I could.
I'm in my luteal phase this week.
If you guys couldn't tell.
Not that anyone cares.
But like.
It has really.
Really.
Been robbing me of everything.
Okay.
There's a couple more.
Of like.
The smaller ones.
So.
We like to.
Basically what we do.
In our designs.
Is like.
We'll do like.
One big scene.
And then we pull our favorite.
Like.
Little small things.
So we have these oysters.
And I think this would be such a fun.
Little.
Like.
Ornament.
Or door hanger.
You guys know how to grab a door hanger.
Lobster.
We've got.
This bikini.
I'm obsessed with this.
So fun.
These flip flops.
Love.
This hydrangea basket.
I mean.
Like.
How good.
Imagine that.
With all the French knots.
Dolly Bronco.
Obsessed with that.
Little bucket.
Lobster roll.
Sailboat.
This is like.
The prettiest sailboat.
I think.
I've ever seen.
I'm obsessed.
So anyway.
Those are.
The rest.
Of our actual Nantucket collection.
As well as.
A couple other products.
That we have launching.
That I'm really.
Really excited about.
I know we've had a lot of launches.
In July.
We only have like.
I think.
One.
True.
Launch.
But we do have restocked.
For overalls.
And we are expanding sizing.
Which is really exciting.
We're actually.
Working with a partner.
Where we can.
Do a ton more sizing.
Which is really amazing.
And then.
We are also.
Restocking.
All of our Mahjong mats.
So.
Stay tuned.
If you guys ever need to restock for anything.
Get on our site.
Sign up for restocks.
You're good to go.
Anyway.
I will bore you guys with the business.
Or I will stop boring you guys with the business stuff.
Now.
We are off.
It's time.
The mask is coming off.
Guys.
Happy Saturday.
I just made Harrison do his.
Was that your first transition TikTok?
I don't.
I think it probably was.
My first transition TikTok.
He killed it.
I thought he was going to be like.
You guys know me.
You know Harrison and his transitions.
I am Bryce Hall.
He literally is Bryce Hall.
They're over here.
Because we're getting ready for the wedding.
And we have a little bar set up.
A little situation.
That's getting set up.
Because our bartender Charlie.
Is making us drinks.
And before they came over.
I was like.
Oh my god.
How funny would it be.
If I made Harrison do a transition TikTok.
And he was like.
Really down.
So.
It wasn't like.
As funny.
But.
It's good.
Okay.
Hair is done.
I did one of those.
Reality popping face masks.
And like.
My skin feels amazing.
This is a beautiful.
This thing.
Uh.
Sucks.
It's a good one.
It falls off.
This is what you're supposed to do.
Mind your heart.
So crazy.
Of course.
We're waiting on the men.
With their tuxes.
Guys.
You know the Uber is two minutes away.
Harrison still has to be a TikTok star.
They're literally going through.
Like a.
Bow ties for dummies.
I don't know.
They're getting out the yellow book.
But.
They take so long.
We've been waiting here.
For so long.
It's the boys who are taking the longest.
Yeah.
Shocker.
Okay.
So.
Harrison's shirt.
Long story short.
Had to get a new shirt today.
Couldn't take my shirt to the tailor.
I mean.
I've ripped some stuff out.
But I can't.
So.
We're taking the needle.
Caroline.
You're going to sink this.
I'm so close.
Did you get it?
I'm really close.
I'm making progress.
To tuck it up to the right leg.
It's perfect.
Oh my god.
Hell yeah.
My boy.
But I want to tap the tab on the back.
Alright.
So.
Ready.
In my dress.
I had a different dress.
Then I felt like it wasn't nice enough.
So then I bought a new dress.
And I got this from Revolve.
I know it's like a pretty popular dress.
But.
It's fun.
It's like flowy.
It's cute.
I steamed it.
Yes.
Harrison steamed it.
It's always one of my boys who's steaming.
You know.
I would never.
Um.
Harrison and Revolve.
They're everything.
Can you do the old school YouTube?
Oh yeah.
Here.
Here we go.
Hey guys.
Quick hack for your wardrobe.
If your sleeves are too long.
Take your needle point finishing clips.
And just clip your shirt up.
A hundred percent.
There you go.
So your shirt doesn't hang too far out on your jacket.
There you go.
Guys.
I'm here.
With my plus one.
His name is Fitz.
He would love that too.
Yeah.
He's.
You know.
I think we look good together.
He loves me.
He does.
That's so sweet.
This is insane.
Gorgeous.
Hi.
Thank you so much.
Hello.
Guys.
Kenzie's really shocked right now.
Because she goes should we challenge this?
And I said yeah.
And she goes oh.
I didn't think you were going to say yeah.
When she does.
I'll just show it to you guys.
And if I put it on.
That's all it took.
Like.
I would have.
Oh.
Hey.
Look at myself.
Look at my.
No.
I contoured my face with self tanner last night.
Must have.
Really.
Must have.
Wait.
Speaking of one size.
It's not real.
Speaking of one size.
I brought this for everyone.
It's oil sucker.
A liquid blotting paper spray.
So it's going to.
Oh my god.
We'll see how it works.
I've never used it.
We'll try it later.
Oh my god.
