Flosstube #1

[@TheCraftyCurator]

Loved your first video!! You're a natural!! I was tickled to see you fell down the Mirabilia rabbit hole. She's dragged many a stitcher down there....and we went happily!! Lol. Loved your TW dragon!!! What a feat for a first finish after coming back to stitching!! I have the Peacock Tapestry....and it scares me. Lol!! Loved seeing your stash and your taste in stitching. Hope to see more of you. I'm a fan. I'm moseying over to video #2 right now. If you ever want another flosstuber to watch, I'm the Crafty Curator. Best wishes. ☺️

[@caroburden4103]

Congratulations on beginning your first floss tube. WoW your Teresa Wentzler piece is stunning. I am looking forward to seeing more of your work.

[@farmgirldrygoods]

That dragon is really beautiful. Hope you sell your house soon because it really deserves to be on the wall! I love your wips. Looking forward to seeing your progress. You'll be busy with your new addition too! How exciting! Welcome to Flosstube!!

[@lilyat42stitches74]

farm girl thank you! I hope we sell it soon too! Definitely not helping the nesting instincts :-)

Welcome to flosstube! Love that Wentzler finish. and congrats on your soon-to-be family addition!

[@lilyat42stitches74]

Little Snips thanks!

[@beckytheobsessedstitcher1170]

Welcome to Flosstube I enjoyed our video. Best of everything with the arrival of the baby. I LOL when you talked about a pumping project - great plan. Love your haul. Do please come back when you can

[@lilyat42stitches74]

Obsessed Stitcher I will certainly try and keep doing these but as any mom knows, babies and toddlers tend to have their own plans that don't always align with your own :-D

[@chrissommer3996]

I enjoyed your first floss tube video. You have some nice pieces to work on. The TW is stunning. Good luck with selling the house, having a baby, and all of your other plans!

[@lilyat42stitches74]

Chris Sommer thank you!

[@blitstitch]

Welcome! I am a big TW fan and love how The Castle turned out. You should be proud of it because it was a lot of work. Your WIPs are all looking great as well.

[@lilyat42stitches74]

blitstitch thanks! Hoping to do another TW or two over the next few years

[@kayinthecave]

The dragon is truly magnificent. Congrats on that major finish. (Hello and Welcome!)

[@lilyat42stitches74]

Kay's Cross Stitch thanks! I really have such pride with it. Not just in completing a large piece with so many blended threads and fractionals but also in the determination after all those years!

[@thecoinskirtstitcher6462]

Welcome to flosstube! You have some lovely projects! Happy stitching!

[@lilyat42stitches74]

Stitching Along thank you!

[@allcrossedupx4158]

Welcome! Your first video was great, and your TW castle is beautiful! Yes, you will be busy with two little ones, but I did lots of stitching when my kids were tiny as I stitched when they napped. Good luck, and hope to see more videos down the line!

[@lilyat42stitches74]

Sheila Norton thank you! Yes nap time is a great time to get some stitching in, if they nap at the same time and I don't need a nap myself! :-)

[@deedeerose17]

Great first video! You seem relaxed and are a natural in front of the camera. Your Dragon and Castle looks beautiful, you must be so happy that you finally finished it. The Santa Train stocking is so cute, it looks like a super fun stitch. We know you will be so super busy with the baby, but if you get a chance, I would love to see future videos from you!

[@lilyat42stitches74]

deedeerose17 thank you! I'm definitely not super comfortable in front of a camera or group but I've had to figure out ways of managing the nerves over the years with work events from time to time so I guess it's paid off!

[@MakingLifeCount]

You're a natural in front of the camera. Great job! And you're a rockstar for finishing that TW! I have the same Mirabilia - Autumn in my Garden. I was totally drawn in to it, reminds me of a vintage magazine cover. I'm looking forward to your next video.

[@lilyat42stitches74]

MakingLifeCount thanks so much! I don't particularly love the camera but I'm glad that's not showing lol. Hoping to get another video in soon, it's been a big busy around here

[@wendysstitching4849]

I really enjoyed your video. congrats on the baby on the way.! you have some really great wips and projects to look forward to. Happy Stitching

[@lilyat42stitches74]

Cross-Stitch Addict thank you!

[@acried]

Welcome!!!! Congratulations on your impending baby girl! How fun! I looooove the stocking! I considered doing that but my boys have hand knit ones their grandmother made... they are spoiled enough! I am also working on that Janlynn kit! I saw it on Sarah Marie Shears channel and I had to have it! Have not got much done! That Indian Peacock is so fabulous, I see it every time I am at Hobby Lobby and think about picking it up. Our zoo here in Colorado Springs and they have peacocks just wandering about, they kinda freak me out though because they are food aggressive! Eek! You look like the girl in the Autumn Mira!!!!

[@lilyat42stitches74]

Andrea Stitches in Colorado thank you! Maybe it's my similarity to the lady in Autumn in my Garden that attracts me to it? Oh my but that would be too narcissistic of me! Lol. The Indian Peacock did the same to me, kept calling to me every time I saw it until I couldn't resist any more (that little tease!)

[@andreac-iheartcrossstitch]

I'm just now getting around to binge watching your videos and oh my goodness, you and I have a lot in common, stitchy wise. Welcome to FlossTube!!!

[@TarynVerleye]

Great first video. Hope to see more soon and maybe a peek at your new baby when she makes her appearance.

[@lilyat42stitches74]

Taryn Verleye thank you! We will have to give the little lady some screen time :-)

[@threadgarden4881]

Congratulations on your impending arrival. The castle is an amazing feat. I adore your choices of new Mirabilias. I hope you get to make another video soon

[@lilyat42stitches74]

Thread Garden thank you! Hope to get another video in before the end of the month

[@lilyat42stitches74]

Stitchingdiva328 Ola! I would love to go to the Azores some day. And Madeira for that matter. I've only been to the mainland, pretty much all over. My family is from Tras-os-Montes, aldeias between Chaves and Valpaços, terra do presunto e alhieras! ;-)

[@lilyat42stitches74]

OriettaStitches busy to say the least lol. Thanks!

[@sewscrapmuse]

your Dragon is freaking awesome!

[@emilyc325]

Great first video! You seemed extremely comfortable. Love your WIPs and that Teresa Wentzler Dragon/Castle finish is amazing. Have you watched videos by Ms. OhSewCrafty? She's working on that one currently and I see her finishing it this year. Welcome to Flosstube! Look forward to future videos, as many as you are able to do with a new family member coming. :)

[@lilyat42stitches74]

Emily C thank you! I definitely don't feel comfortable lol but glad it comes off well. I have seen MsOhSewCrafty and love the fabric she chose. Will be keeping an eye out for her finish

[@MaryEllen1985]

Welcome to Flosstube :)

[@MaryEllen1985]

Oh and one of my current WIPs is the Indian Peacock. I was drawn to it because of the turquoise and teal.

[@debbyduarte2334]

me too i speak and lived in portugal and love it beijinhos debby duarte

[@lilyat42stitches74]

debby duarte Obrigada Debbie!

[@debbyduarte2334]

de nada se precisares de algo vai ao meu facebook e podes ver os meus bordados de ponto cruz que eu fiz beijinhos

[@lilyat42stitches74]

debby duarte esta bem. Gosto de ver o trabalho dos outros para dar ideas :-)

[@carriepreston5469]

The back of my work is still full of knots!! That's why it's the back 😉

[@lilyat42stitches74]

Carrie Preston agreed, I'm usually not too concerned with the back :-). So long as it's not so messy that it makes the stitching difficult or the piece bumpy when mounted, I don't worry too much

[@fehmidafashionideas937]

[@mamiejeanne1]

Your projects are beautiful !!! Your T. Wentzler is gorgeous !!! My husband is Portuguese.... do you know where i can find cross-stitch stores in Portugal please ? ^_^ TFS, Sabine

[@lilyat42stitches74]

mamiejeanne1 thank you so much! It was so long ago I don't remember at all where we got those magazines. I would guess similar to here if you can find a craft type store? Sorry I'm not much help

[@lyndabazarsky5260]
