Episode 98 - (Flosstube) FFOs, Chaos, and Life

[@margaretyoder3007]

Leigh, I love your idea for 12 in 12. Makes perfect sense!! And you inspire me to get back into knitting.... but I could never read my stitches, so maybe I will get some easy crochet going on the side of my cross stitch. Excited for your Vlogmas and Parade!!

[@sticksstringsandotherthings]

I am glad you like the idea. I am pretty happy with it. :) if you can't get back into knitting you should pull out some crochet. Hope you enjoy the Vlogmas and WIPParade

I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis, and sending you all the positive vibes I can muster to help you on your journey. I'm grateful for all the videos you do and get so much enjoyment from them. Love the titty tassel pillow, that finish totally rocks. Keep doing what makes you happy, and immerse yourself in all the crafts!

[@sticksstringsandotherthings]

Thanks. Glad you are enjoying. The titty tasslel pillow is great. It makes me smile a bunch.

[@rhondawise1897]

Enjoyed your podcast and heard about you on Zoom with EJ new SAL😊

[@sticksstringsandotherthings]

Glad you enjoyed! I am looking forward to that year long SAL it was a good zoom. :)

[@deborahwatkins1493]

Wishing you all the best in your treatment. Sending you positive thoughts and will remember you in my prayers. Glad you caught it early. May those yarn and stitching advents keep you distracted. :-) I'll be tuning in for vlogmas and updates. Take care.

[@sticksstringsandotherthings]

Thank you. I think I have given myself many floss and yarn distractions. I hope you enjoy Flossmas!

[@Craftymum66]

Yes, cancer sucks, I wish you all the best and my thoughts are with you. Love the pillow and fully agree with save women's/men's lives. Look forward to seeing your videos. Happy stitching and you've got this. 🤗🤛💪🌺💜

[@sticksstringsandotherthings]

Thank you. And yes, I should remember to include men. When breast cancer is found in them it is nearly always so much more advance.

[@Craftymum66]

@@sticksstringsandotherthings You're most welcome 🤗💜 Happy crafting 🪡🧶🌺

[@tracydaly6980]

Sorry for the news however thank you for sharing! I have to catch up on the videos. Hugs and well wishes.

[@sticksstringsandotherthings]

Yeah, it stinks. but it is what it is. The videos never go anywhere, catch up when you can. Thank you.

[@sewmesarah]

Thanks for making me laugh and most definitely trying to keep your chin up. I’m so sorry for your diagnosis and hope your surgery gets scheduled soon and is successful in catching that sucker.

[@sticksstringsandotherthings]

Glad I could make you laugh. It always makes me happy to be able to do such. And Thanks.

[@jeanyuk]

Cancer sucks, I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this especially the again bit. x

[@sticksstringsandotherthings]

Thanks. Cancer stinks. A lot.

[@mrschiefstitchlisag7084]

[@mrschiefstitchlisag7084]

PS….. F the traitorous Tatas!!!!!

[@sticksstringsandotherthings]

Thanks. I am sure there will be screaming involved at some point, again. heh.

[@ranessahunley3342]

Girl sorry about the dx, but that pillow is freakin awesome. Shake those tassels.v

[@sticksstringsandotherthings]

It sucks. But, yes, the t*tty tassel pillow is amazing.

[@TheStitchingOwl]

Touch-a-vision…love your chatter. Curious, do you have a specific stitch count for your 100 a day patterns or is it just what inspires you on pick day? Oh Leigh…I am so sorry about your diagnosis. My mother survived this twice and is now 90…May this be your path too. 🦉🎅🏼🧑🏼‍🎄🎄

[@sticksstringsandotherthings]

Thank you! As for my 100 stitches a day, that is where I put what I think are my small pieces. I originally was trying for ones I thought were close to a finish, but my estimations are bad at seeing that. haha. So, now it's just my smaller pieces so they get progress. I put them on a wheel and spin. Then work on them until they are finished and spin again. Sorry your mom had to go through this twice, but happy she survived it. It stinks, but I will kick it again. Hopefully for the last time.

[@Kimstitchery]

How horrible for this to happen to you again!! You are a strong woman. Keep your sense of humour. And keep your chin up!! Enjoy life! You do what makes you happy

[@sticksstringsandotherthings]

yeah, it sucks. But I'll kick butt again. Thanks.

[@Kimstitchery]

Of that, I have no doubt!

[@MadMorti]

Ah man…. That absolutely sucks 😕 but I love your positivity and hell yes to the Tits Out! 👌🏻 (if need be). Do you have IG? Would like to message you on there or some other way if poss. 🙂👍🏻 Edited to add - actually I just found you on IG by checking your first ever Flosstube. Should have done that in the first place, eh? 🤦🏻‍♀️ coming soon to a DM inbox near you….

[@sticksstringsandotherthings]

It does suck a lot. Thanks. I am trying for positive. It is hard, but it helps. I do have an IG as I see you found. :)
