Flosstube 13: February Update

[@Pasos4me]

I really like the way you are so “free” with your dyeing and dare to take chances. Stone Roses is the fabric I’m referring to and I think it’s very very cool. You’re creativity shines through with all your pieces. Rock on! 👍🏼

[@brittanycrossstitches]

Thank you! I'm also an artist, painting, calligraphy, etc. So it's probably the artist in me that just flings it all over. I really have no rhyme or reason to it besides squirting the dye on the fabric.

Wonderful stitching. It is amazing how much you bet done in a month. Your fur babies are adorable.

[@brittanycrossstitches]

Thanks! Theo and Cami are loved very much in our home

[@Chris-lv2en]

Thank you Brittany, wonderful stitching as always! The house is looking marvellous, what an achievement! All good wishes for Damon's op. x

[@brittanycrossstitches]

Thank you! It's amazing what some time and hard work can turn things into. Thanks so much for the well wishes for Damon, I'm a nervous wreck already.

[@belindasteele1280]

Hi Brittany! Absolutely enjoy your videos and stitching! Sending love from Australia 🩷

[@brittanycrossstitches]

Thank you!

[@DevonsCreativeChannel]

Wow all your projects are beautiful and I love that you dye your own fabric as I do 😊oh and I love your 2 sidekicks we lost our little yorkie 2 years ago 🙁. First time watching you and will be catching up you have a new follower 😁

[@brittanycrossstitches]

Thank you! My little yorkies both came from rescues. One was abused really badly. You wouldn't know it now. She's a normal dog now. Love them both to death their my buddies

Great progress! Your WIPs are amazing

[@brittanycrossstitches]

Thank you!

[@idratherbecrossstitching9064]

So much progress! You are so fast! The house is looking amazing too.

[@brittanycrossstitches]

It's just a lot of time on my hands. If I don't have anything else to do, I'm stitching. Haha

@@brittanycrossstitches I’m a stay at home mom with teens. I think I need to manage my time better. 🤣

[@brittanycrossstitches]

@idratherbecrossstitching9064 my youngest is 8 years old. I watch my nephew, although I have him overnight when I watch him 4 days one week and 3 the next, he's 3. I do have a strict schedule I follow, or everything falls behind on getting things done or I forget. It helps that my kids and husband know that if they don't put things back where they go, I'll make them clean that room, and none of them want to clean it to my standards. Lol

[@sunnykat2762]

😂I too I am not a big fan of confetti either. All those stops and starts!!! I love to bead and back stitch as I go, too!!!

[@brittanycrossstitches]

I can only do it for so long before I have to change projects.

[@sunnykat2762]

@@brittanycrossstitches me too

[@sunnykat2762]

Brittany the 2024 nutcracker will be out in July. I am working on 2023 nutcracker now. Remember it has white beads and Ivory may not let the white show that well. I’m doing mine on country mocha 14 ct. 😂 it was the only count I had on that color. I have your family in my prayers for healing.

[@brittanycrossstitches]

Ooo, I may have to buy the 2024 nutcracker, too. I think being I decorate in sliver a d blue for Christmas, I'm going to stitch it on grey fabric. That way, it somewhat matches the rest of the stuff that gets hung up in the house.... do you think that color would work?

[@sunnykat2762]

@@brittanycrossstitches I think it would. A silvery gray yes.

[@sunnykat2762]

Also one they are showing it finished is as stand ups. I am not sure how I will finish mine yet.

[@brittanycrossstitches]

@sunnykat2762 I will probably frame mine. I like to frame, being I have a lot of little nieces and nephews and kids myself with dirty fingers that won't stop touching things they're not supposed to.

[@sunnykat2762]

@@brittanycrossstitches that makes sense

[@janniestanley]

Stitching is amazing! Always amazed at what you accomplish with as busy as you are. Is your MIL gonna be able to navigate those stairs since she’s been falling? Or if she has MS. My SIL had MS. Not a pretty disease. Or did I miss it and you have a bedroom/bathroom on the main floor? Thx for the video. House has really come together.

[@brittanycrossstitches]

We don't have a bedroom or bathroom on. The main floor. But we'd be more than willing to put in one of those chair things that go up the stairs for her. If need be, we could sell this one and buy her a different house. But she hasn't been diagnosed yet it's just a theory at this point until all her testing is done, and we're hoping they're wrong

[@janniestanley]

I hope for all your sakes that they’re wrong. It’s becoming all too common that disease. So nice of you both to do what you’re doing for her. I know she really appreciates it. That’s not common anymore either…taking care of parents when it gets difficult for them to take care of themselves.

[@brittanycrossstitches]

@janniestanley she raised him for 18 years of his life the least we can do Is help her when she needs it too. Between his mom and my grandma joanne, I'm busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Plus, my kids get to build more memories with them, and I get to see them more. Hopefully, I've raised my children to be kind and always offer a helping hand

[@janniestanley]

Sounds like you have. Maya Angelou said that people won’t remember what you said but they’ll always remember how you made them feel. Sounds like you’ve made many feel important. And living a life of Service and kindness’s😊
