So happy you decided to join Flosstube. The rabbit hole you sent me down is amazing. Sew needle juice is amazing. Movie themed charts are so great for gifts. Ty ty ty.

[@alexsrealm]

Thanks so much Lori, I really appreciate the watch and subscribe :) and you are right, movie and TV show themed charts are great for gifts! Deffo hope to get through some more next year!

[@alexsrealm]

Thank you so much! Love to hear of someone else that has completed that chart :)

Welcome to flosstube. You have a nice variety of WIPs. My absolute favourite is the peacock shoe. I´m looking forward to see this grow. And I love your tweak on the horror WIP. Have fun stitching!

😀thank you!

[@Leemina1973]

Great first video, loved seeing all your WIPS, I've stitched the Henry VIII one already, its lovely when complete. Finished the video and instantly subscribed. Looking forward to seeing your progress in your future videos. I'm originally from the UK but emigrated to Australia 13 years ago where cross stitch isn't as big as the UK or US, but flosstube and Etsy definitely keep the craft alive. x

[@alexsrealm]

Thank you so much Debbie! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and it's so nice to hear of another person stitching the Henry VIII piece! Thank you for subscribing

[@annalisef]

Hello from the USA. Nice job on your first video! I love seeing what others are stitching, such a wide variety of styles. I saw many new to me pieces today. Looking forward to your next video.

[@alexsrealm]

Hello! I'm pleased you enjoyed the video, thank you so much for watching! I love seeing what others are stitching too, but doesn't help the WIP count haha.

[@oodlesofstitches3295]

Hi from up north 👋 Loved seeing your wips, seen a few things I didn't know about, now enabled. I'm stitching the sally king shoes too, on my third and yes they are a lot more work than you think, but I love them. You sound like you've been doing flosstubes forever. Very profesh. I really like how you put the name at the bottom in white, it gives me time to write something down to then go and look at. Looking forward to many more. 🙂

[@alexsrealm]

Hey! Thank you so much for watching and your lovely comment! Sorry to be an enabler lol, but I am very glad you found some things new to you :)

[@cotterillfamily7355]

The KZbin algorithm suggested you to me, enjoyed your WIPS. Laughed when you said the fabric was minging LOL Will subscribe for the next episode! Take care, Nic in New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@alexsrealm]

Lol, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed :) Hope everything is well is New Zealand!

[@shontelmorrison831]

Awesome job! Hello from Canada! We have the same project bags!! lol Very cute projects. Looking forward to the next video.

[@alexsrealm]

Hello! Them project bags sure come in handy lol, thank you so much for watching!

[@janellstoeger9517]

I thoroughly enjoyed and will be looking forward to your next one. I would love to know more about how you stitch-rotation, color complete, etc.

[@alexsrealm]

Thank you for watching and commenting :) I shall definitely try and include more of these details as my flosstube's continue!

[@suehibbard6416]

Hi Alex. Enjoyed your first floss tube. You can now call yourself an influencer. I am listening to the six wives of Henry VIII by Alison Weir on audible. So when I saw your cross stitch I had to jump on Amazon and order it. Looking forward to your next video

[@alexsrealm]

Hi Sue, I am so pleased to hear this! I would love to see your progress on the piece as I don't know of anyone else stitching it :) Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[@placcosaddle1]

[@the607stitcher]

Great first video! I love how bright and fun your projects are!😊

[@alexsrealm]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

[@crossstitchjess]

Welcome to flosstube! 😍 Loved seeing the variety of your projects and definitely looking forward to seeing your rainbow pokemon as you work on it! ❤

[@alexsrealm]

Thank you so much Jess😊 I have loved and watched your flosstube since you started, and you have some fantastic projects! I'm stoked to even think you watched mine never mind commenting and subscribing, thank you so much!!

[@crossstitchjess]

@alexsrealm Awh thank you! Honestly I'm still baffled that anyone watches my videos at all 😂 We're all in the same anxious boat I think 🙈 I'm curious where in the South West you live as I grew up in Braunton and Plymouth and have family near Truro now. Maybe when I'm down that way in future we'll have to try and arrange to meet up or something! 😊

[@alexsrealm]

😂 deffo an anxious boat! I live in Swindon, so not as far south west as Plymouth and Truro (I do love Plymouth though!), but they are not too bad to travel to on the train! Pretty lucky in Swindon to be fairly close to a few places really. But I am definitely up for making stitchy friends and meeting up in the future 🥰

[@joannegray6160]

I love amazon as well. Well done on your first floss tube x

[@alexsrealm]

Thanks so much! 😊 I really appreciate you watching and commenting! And can't beat a fellow amazon lover lol

[@SidandStitch]

Welcome to flosstube ❤ really enjoyed your first video. I shall look forward to seeing your next upload 🎉❤

[@alexsrealm]

Thanks so much for watching, subscribing and for your lovely comment! I hope you enjoy the next one 😊

[@ritaedwards1456]

I haven’t even finished your video and wanted to comment that I love it. Your projects are awesome. You did a great job. I love your idea of a movie wall. I’m doing something similar in only Diamond Painting and ALL Harry Potter. I only have 3 so far but I love the idea of the wall covered in Harry Potter designs!! I’ve already subscribed and am looking forward to your next video!!

[@alexsrealm]

Thank you so much Rita! I really appreciate your kind comment, and I LOVE the sound of your Harry Potter wall! I'm a big HP fan myself and that sounds awesome! Thank you for subscribing :)

[@madgrandma]

Nice to meet you. Great variety in your projects. For the large amount of black in the girl and the rainbow, try doing a thread of black before you do one of colour. And go back to black as the first thread each time you pick it up. Have you seen Bradley's Balloons thread? It might make the border easier on your Tarot stitching. Enjoy what you are stitching above all.

[@alexsrealm]

Hey :) thank you so much for watching and commenting! That is some great advice, I have never heard of that thread so will certainly be looking that up!

[@jahairamartinez9771]

Hi Alex’s realm❤

[@alexsrealm]

Hey, thanks for commenting :)

[@DebbieBuckland]

great first floss tube. on the small count project have you thought to try 18-16 count aida it wont turn out as huge as 14 count.

[@alexsrealm]

Hey Debbie, thank you for watching and commenting! I have thought about 18 count and I think that's more than likely the way forward for me on that one :)

[@greekxstitcher5379]

Love your first floss tube! Do you live in Cornwall? Btw in my culture living with your mum is smart ! ❤❤

[@alexsrealm]

Thank you for watching and your kind comment! No, I live near Bristol :) In this current climate as well, I think living with my mum is pretty smart too lol

[@Lottie-ru4vt]

They do dmc 310 on a cone

[@alexsrealm]

Hey :) yeah I didn't think about that until after stupidly lol - and have a bunch of unbranded ones now, so once I've used up all of them, and cone is definitely on the "to purchase" list!
