Flosstube #1: WIP Parade & Intro

Hi everyone and welcome to my channel!
My name is Lera and I'm a cross-stitcher from Russia.
Planning to make monthly updates here.

[@tracyshrode9047]

Thank you for sharing your stitching in English. I really enjoyed watching your video. Your English is perfect. I have a heavy Texas accent. I will be watching your other videos.

[@lerastitchpower]

Thanks for watching! So happy you liked the video

[@mrhickswife]

Great video! I really enjoyed seeing your projects. Happy stitching!!

[@lerastitchpower]

Thank you! ✨

[@MamabearStitchery]

lovely selection of projects and can't wait to see more :)

[@lerastitchpower]

Thank you so much!

Definitely your first video on flosstube based on my modest opinion is amazing. I saw like dozens videos of different cross stitch ladies on the flosstube, they make not my content, I'm not admired with primitivism and mostly weird patterns what I saw. I've been trying to explain my american speaking friends some details about my passion-cross-stich, only one what they familiar with is a quilting, but it's sort of not the same and has historical background. My favorites from all your WIPs are all of them probably except for the Mill Hill, it's not kind of I don't like, just I have a bigger obsession with patterns of Russian designers, because they are more accessible for me. The puffin is my personal favorite. I cross stiched one puffin last month, it was hard work with restarts. I thought I was done with that for a while, but every single time when I look to a puffin, I completely forget about my last tough experience and I want as many of them in my life as possible. First time I saw a puffin in the cartoon "Happy Feet", when I was quite an adult and right now I add to my "to-do list": cross stitch a new puffin and watch the documentary about these birds. How wonderful that you have so many different interests in your life and you have plenty of cool skills! 👏 I love these wooden organizers what you use so much! I wish you have new English-speaking followers too 😄👍 Russians who can understand and speak English will always be here 👌🤪

[@lerastitchpower]

thank you so much! I see where you're coming from, I'm not a big fan of primitive patterns but I still like some of them. But I agree that primitives dominate flosstube especially compared to our nook. For some reason right now I'm not in the mood for Mill Hill. I lean towards Russian kits and patterns. I've finished my puffin and picked up Овен. Even though I've just finished my puffin I am thinking about stitching something else with them. I'll probably do a video or a Boosty post with my top-10 puffin patterns. So I wholeheartedly share your puffin obsession

[@user-svetaaa_fm]

@@lerastitchpower I'd love to support you and a few other people using the Boosty service, I'm located outside of Russia but as soon as I resolve a few problems with my bank accounts, I'll most likely be able to do this. I like your non-standard ideas👍 Our nook is really incomparable! I bet I'll find primitives for myself at the right time and cross stitch them on a suuuper-small linen cts 🤪 Who knows, it might be a new wave of my obsession! Our hobby is unpredictable. Technically I was talking about an animated movie (cartoon😄). It's about penguins, but there is one puffin among them 😏

[@daniellebcraftingcorner]

Those acrylic forms are so cool! I really love that puffin kit! So sweet ❤

[@lerastitchpower]

Thanks! You’ll definitely be seeing more of those acrylic thingies in the future as I’ve bought a bunch of them 😅

[@MariaTheGreenStitcher]

Congrats on your first Flosstube! Really excited to see all your WIPs again!

[@lerastitchpower]

Thank you for the support and the gentle nudge that you've given me

[@tracyshrode9047]

Thank you Maria for mentioning her. I'm loving watching you both from Texas USA

[@Nitki_igolki]

Congrats with your new beginning🎉

[@lerastitchpower]

thank you!

[@mitinamama]

Thank you

[@Nataliiaa_D]

It’s very cool to listen to you in both English and Russian ❤

[@lerastitchpower]

thank you!

[@vikingstitches]

Lovely video! Loved seeing all your patterns, I found you after Maria the green stitcher recommended you! I love the puffin, he is so cute! 😍 I’m from Iceland and there is an island off the south coast where there are a lot of puffins and they even have an event where the pufflings leave their nests and sometimes they get confused by the nearby town lights, so the locals will go out and rescue them and then set them free in the right place the next day I also love the Harry Potter patterns, they are so beautiful, so intricate, I love them, sadly never been able to find the patterns online My main reason to come see you though was Link! Love him, he looks so good! I also have the Zelda patterns from make it pink, I’ve started with Midna, though I am not very far along Looking forward to seeing more videos 😍

[@lerastitchpower]

Hi there! Thank you so much and thanks to Maria again :) I've heard that people do that with birds but didn't know that puffins are also prone to getting confused like that. Would looove to see a puffin in real life -- maybe if i visit Murmansk in Russia I'll get lucky 🤞🏻 Oh, you can buy those Harry Potter patterns on the designer's Boosty boosty.to/sabbat_stitches Boosty works kinda like Patreon but you don't have to pay monthly - just buy access to posts which have the patterns you like. The charts are included in the posts. It's a one-time fee per post\pattern. I've seen your Midna progress! Love her color palette! Are you going to stitch the full border? I'm still waiting for the Zelda border. I think it isn't out yet?

[@vikingstitches]

@@lerastitchpower with the puffins, it’s just the baby ones, the first time they leave the nest they can get confused, so people help them out, very cute though! Thanks for the link! That’s great to know about! Yes I’m going to do the border from craftigurumi, so cool! Yeah I don’t think the Zelda one is out yet, but I think she has done one for link, are you going to do that one? Do you play the Zelda games?

[@lerastitchpower]

@@vikingstitches I have one for Link but still haven't decided if I'm ready to do that much stitching just for the background. Sure! I wouldn't have bought and started stitching Link if I weren't playing lol But I don't play them on launch. Still haven't started TOTK but I've beaten most of the previous titles. Do you play Zelda games? And since you're stitching Midna, is Twilight Princess your favorite in the series?

[@vikingstitches]

@@lerastitchpower yeah I’m not as intrigued by the Link background, I think it’s a bit too simple for my test - debating trying to add some embellishments myself, but I’m years away from that decision haha Haha I figured you probably did play the games but you never know! Yeah my favs are a toss up between twilight Princess and Ocarina of time. OoT was my first Zelda game so it has a very special place in my heart but Twilight Princess is also so good. I haven’t played all of the old games but I’ve played a fair few of the remakes. I’ve played botw and am currently playing totk, but I have a bad habit of not finishing games, so not finished all the ones I’ve played lol

[@lerastitchpower]

@@vikingstitches Right now I think I won't do the crosses in the background but I plan on doing the backstitching. It just looks more completed with a 'frame'. My first Zelda was Link to the Past (it's still one of my favorites). But I also have Wind Waker and BOTW at the top. I haven't finished Twilight Princess lol -- rage quit in a dungeon which I later found out was second to last. It's the one where you have to carry the rock and not get caught by hands.

[@natalispb]

Восхитительно! С дебютом 🤗

[@lerastitchpower]

спасибо!

[@gutukasstitch]

Your video is very cool; I hope you will have a lot of stichy fans all over the world. ❤ Th Lin piece isso amazing a masterpiece🎉

[@lerastitchpower]

Thanks so much!

[@alina_vyshivanka]

Lera, congrats with your 1st English cross-stitch video! 🌸 Your English is very nice and everything was clear ☀ So I listened to you with a pleasure. I noticed that English changed your maner of talking. We know you on Russian cross-stitch KZbin as a little bit another person 😁 Foreign languages influence on our facial expression. And it was interesting to see your current cross-stitch processes 🪡🪡 It's a great idea to make a video in English! I wish you to attract a lot of new foreign cross-stitchers and prosperity to your channel! 🥳🥳🥳 p.s. you can tell your students to watch this video at home and then retell it to improve their English 😅

[@lerastitchpower]

Thank you so so much! Yes, my personality varies a bit depending on the language I speak - in Korean I sound completely different. But it's just a given. Thanks for all the lovely wishes

[@LeStitch]

Спасибо за видео на английском ❤ послушала с удовольствием, на одном дыхании 😊

[@joannhicks1068]

Hello Lera, your WIPS are so beautiful, your stitches are intricately done and meticulous. I would have to say, your floral skull and your warrior are my favorites…but I do love your full coverage mountain landscape-it will be stunning! How long have you been stitching. I have one more question about your thread organizers, the Russian wooden ones…what is the name of the maker of them? Thank you for your visit. It was so enjoyable and I look forward to seeing many more. All the best…

[@lerastitchpower]

Hello! Thank you so much for the comment and kind words! I've been stitching on and off since childhood but it became my main hobby in 2020. I'll elaborate more in the next video

[@ZPonedelnik]

Пишу комментарий для поддержки любых творческих начинаний))

[@iwolfion]

You sound great!

[@lerastitchpower]

thanks!

[@dariaonofrei8719]

Cool video! Thank you! often for cross stitch on wood they use something like: Blanks for cross stitch HDF, maybe suitable for acrylic? acrylic blank for cross stitch

[@lerastitchpower]

Thanks! I think you're right :)

[@Marylyamama]

Класс! Мне так понравилось слушать вас на английском! Отличная затея. Прекрасное видео!

[@lerastitchpower]

Спасибо большое!

[@Histitcher]

🔥🔥🔥

[@ekaterinakortukhina8871]

Лера, отличное видео! Поздравляю! 🎉

[@lerastitchpower]

спасибо!

[@Anna_Makarova]

Hi, Lera🌷my congrats on your first video in English🎉 I was looking forward to seeing it 😅🤩 You've done a good job 👍 I liked it a lot! In my opinion, it's a good way to practice your English speaking about your hobby, things you are into and a chance to expand your audience attracting new subscribers from English-speaking Flosstube. So I wish you great success in your new beginning❤

[@lerastitchpower]

Hi! Thank you so much! In the future videos I'll also have a section where I'll share what I've read\watched\listened to during the month. I figured since I'm practicing, it's a good idea to include things not related to cross-stitch as well

[@Anna_Makarova]

Oh, great 👍 it will be a nice bonus to your main content))

[@BogerValentina]

37:16 Wiry?)) Congrats on the debut! You sound quite confident, and the fact that you filmed and released it within two days is beyond impressive!

[@lerastitchpower]

Dunno, maybe ‘dry’ but I don’t know how to describe them even in Russian 😅 Thank you 🥰

[@craftotherapy]

Great video! Made me wonder how to call the plastic thingies - blanks maybe? And the sky effect fabric is marbled, I think 🤔

[@lerastitchpower]

oh blanks is a great option, I def wouldn't have thought of it off the top of my head. 'marbled' is the correct term for sure, thanks!

[@freitag_13te]

Спасибо за видео) вдохновила смотреть контент на английском 😅

[@lerastitchpower]

Пожалуйста 🙂

[@valeriya-gr]

50 минут для первого англоязычного видео - это очень смело❤

[@ullit]

Леера, поздравляю с первым выпущенным видео на английском 🎉 видео получилось офигенное, я посмотрела на одном дыхании :)

[@lerastitchpower]

thank you for the support!

[@_Tatyana_X]

Спасибо) у меня плохой английский, но в целом все было понятно. Видимо, потому что знаю, о чем речь пойдет😄 интересно было бы про статистику просмотров этого видео узнать) в плане - кто больше посмотрит, русскоговорящие или наоборот)

[@lerastitchpower]

100% русскоговорящих будет больше, просто потому что у меня все подписчики русские. И потому что ютуб еще не понял, что мои видео на англе надо англоговорящим показывать. Но на это видео приходят просмотры из США, в отличие от других моих видео, так что что-то происходит))

[@holyhelena4862]

Английский не знаю вообще. Но посмотрела с удовольствием ☺️

[@kira_o_rukodelnom]

ну штош, ты сломала мой х2, пришлось ставить на х1.25 😃 Видео на английском - огонь)

[@lerastitchpower]

thank you!

[@310Stitcher]

hello from Canada! Congrats on your first FT in english. May I ask you where you got the Harry Potter pattern? Is there a website? thank you

[@lerastitchpower]

Hello-hello! Thank you so much! Sure! Here's the designer's Boosty (it's kinda similar to Patreon, but you don't have to subscribe for a month, you just buy access to the post with the chart you want, and after that you can download all of the files from the post): boosty.to/sabbat_stitches

[@eliz.zele.]

Cheers to your first video! Love it, great content ❤ Hopefully the recipe of Russian original dimensions Aida soup hittts the flosstube!! My favs are definitely the mill hills, the sweetheart’s gate and the HP one)) P.s. The blue fabric pattern is kinda tie dye?

[@lerastitchpower]

thank you! we'll spread the message lol the correct term for the blue Linda is 'marbled'

[@lisagromyko9820]

Очень понравилось видео, что-то поняла, что-то нет. Это будет мне мотивацией увеличивать словарный запас, повторить и выучить новые правила английской грамматики (почему ты говоришь "I do have", надо найти объяснение), ещё не раз пересмотрю с учебной миссией и с точки зрения вышивальщицы❤😊🎉 Получила огромное удовольствие от видео, у тебя шикарный английский, с нетерпением жду следующего.

[@lerastitchpower]

'do' before the main verb is used to put emphasis or to clarify. Compare - 'I have a job' vs 'I do have a job'. The latter meaning 'I really\actually have a job'. Thank you a good luck in your studies

[@lisagromyko9820]

Спасибо за объяснение, надеюсь, что в следующий раз напишу несколько предложений на английском.

[@olgaAOA]

Мой английский... школьный ...так себе...но кое что понимала, про нити ПНК эмоционально было, про тупика и цветы на черепе. Во время просмотра твоего видео мне позвонили и я такая...yes?😂 Забавно получилось..Лера, твоя идея применять свой уровень языка здесь крутая.

[@lerastitchpower]

спасибо большое!

[@user-vm9ij7cx5k]

Очень редко пишу. Очень круто

[@lerastitchpower]

спасибо

[@Oli32_cross_stitch]

Что на русском ,что на английском .Очень интересно смотреть ❤!!!!!!

[@lerastitchpower]

спасибо огромное!

[@user-yf5ze7uy4g]

Магия, но мой вери бед английский позволил понимать не все, но многое

[@kira_o_rukodelnom]

жалко нельзя второй раз подписаться)

[@moonlitsteel8553]

а на английском Dimensions действительно Дименшнс? по моим ощущениям это "размеры", я всегда думала, что оно читается как Дайменшнс

[@lerastitchpower]

У британцев через ай, у американцев через и. Фирма американская, так что я через и говорю 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@kryssavva8263]

добавьте хотя бы русские субтитры

[@lerastitchpower]

У ютуба есть автоматические русские субтитры, которые неплохо справляются с переводом.

[@eodnwlp865vskxnm]

Ахренеть Почему я ничего не понимаю Плиз транслейт Ай Донт анднрстэнд ХЭЛП ми плиз Май инглиш из бэд

[@julymartyneedlework]

И тут Лера должна написать: "А тем, кто ничего не понимает, и чей инглиш из бэд, милости прошу на мои курсы английского"🤣🤣😅

[@user-svetaaa_fm]

Here we could find a perfect advertisement for tutoring in English and our improvement in it, perhaps one day Lera will find an excellent collaboration for herself 😀

[@vst_stitch]

@@julymartyneedleworkя просто включила субтитры и успевала читать 🤣

[@Elvina_888]

я смотрю через автоматический перевод от яндекс браузера, но он довольно забавно переводит

[@alinaangeria]

у вас очень комфортный английский❤❤❤
