I enjoyed the book section. I’ve been watching Book Tube videos and it has ignited my desire to read again. I used to be an avid reader and then you tube took over my life. Great stitching as always.

[@birdseyestitches]

Ok the bird on the blackbird designs piece for dark 13 is just stunning. I love it so much! I also love your plans to cozy in during the snow storm. Truly enjoyed your video, happy stitching!

[@mountaineerknitter3165]

I am trying to read more this year as well, I've tried and just don't enjoy audibles. I never thought of adding it during my soak time! I do usually read while my husband watches something right before bed. I can tune anything out if the book is good enough lol. I love the wip talk, book talk, Buster talk, nail talk, plant talk, and shopping talk. Pretty much all the talk. Thank you for sharing your time and talents with us.

[@ruralncstitcher7105]

As always, loved your stitching….but I loved the book talk too! Talk about what you love. I don’t paint my nails, but still enjoyed you talking about nail polish. I’ve never seen polish like that! ❤

[@bunnyemartins7756]

Adding a book segment is a great addition that your Flosstube.

[@StitchingJoanne]

Well done Jim on the gifts!! Loved this video, hang out on the floor with Emily 😊

[@oneoriginalcat]

i'm also reading (listening to) the god of the woods during my evening stitching time. very much enjoying it so far! AND very much looking forward to a cozy georgian snow day tomorrow! *fingers crossed*

Congratulations on Ann Roberts. Loved that you put your name on it. I worked on my Enchanted while watching you. Loved seeing your focus pieces for 2025. I want to start Caroline Amelia Trowelll. I also want to get back to Floral Motif Sampler. Jim bought such thoughtful gifts. Comfort stitching is definitely the main menu item n 2025 💚

[@lindamanning7348]

Beautiful finish! ❤️ You showed so many wonderful stitches I had to pause and go put some in my cart.🤣 Loved the reading segment as I am also a reader. I LOVED The God of the Woods! It was so good. Enjoy!

Hey my lns keep ptp, lakeside Smalls ,ornament scraps In a pretty basket next to smalls charts flip through ,ready to go Efficient Happy stitching ❤

[@delanahaldy5268]

Beautiful finish! Can't wait to hear how you like the Mooncat polish. It's all I wear. The thermals are a lot of fun. If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend Weyward by Emilia Hart. My favorite read of 2024. Not a creepy thriller, but very moody ... and the cover art is fantastic.

[@giselekusmik9167]

I ALWAYS love everything you talk about Emily and I’m thankful that you post your videos - I’ve been tuning in since the beginning years of your Flosstube journey and you feel like a comfortable old (not literally of course🙃) friend that I catch up with…..you are, in my humble opinion, one of the kindest, realest (is that a word?😎) ladies out there! ☺️💖

[@emilyc325]

@@giselekusmik9167 that truly warmed my heart to read. Thank you so much for your kind words. 💕

[@TheRedneckBifocalStitcher]

Fabulous stitching, as usual. ❤ PTP Legacy is definitely my favorite. And books! God of the Woods is my next read as soon as I finish Slewfoot.

[@emilyc325]

Let me know what you think of Slewfoot.

[@kathrynryan2895]

Definitely books. I read too. Downloaded several samples on kindle from your descriptions.

[@moosemom2010]

Love seeing all your WIPs and can’t wait to see your prom them ❤

[@leetlesnyder]

Love every single project you do!! And I’m also going to check into some of those book recs. Thank you for sharing! Lisa

[@lolalovesfrank9]

Beautiful finish on Ann Roberts! It's so fun to see her done. I have Jane Harth on my start list as well - just bought the 100.3 silks and cannot wait to finally get to her. Enjoy the snow! I'm in Syracuse and we've had some nice lake effect for the past 2 days. It's not fun to drive in but oh so cozy. I recently finished reading Weyward, by Emilia Hart and it was such a beautiful book. I highly recommend it. I just started Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver and am really into it so far. Happy New Year!

[@emilyc325]

Both of those books are on my want to read list!

[@marilynferlitsch2003]

Anne is gorgeous, congrats on your finish. Great collection of WIPS! Marilym

[@cherylmarch9293]

Your finish is gorgeous! I enjoyed your video, I like that you keep it real. Your honey bought you some nice treasures to stitch and your stash, that’s always wonderful! I enjoy that you like to read and that you shared what your reading I love to read as well and like to be inspired by books that I wouldn’t normally gravitate to, because well we sometimes pick the same types. So thank you for sharing! Enjoy your snow day, stay warm and cozy!

[@barbarabell6527]

Emily Congratulations on your beautiful finish. ❤Next Christmas make a wish list on 123 stitch that might help Jim😂. Thanks for sharing Enjoy your snow we just got 8 inches in Va.Happy New Year.❤

Congratulations on your gorgeous finish!

[@SarahsStitchySpot]

Always love seeing your projects! I enjoy the book talk as we have similar tastes in books. I read The God of the Woods. Great book. Happy New Year, Emily.

[@gwenthompson2222]

I loved God of the Woods! Read it last year when it came out. Well written and engaging. The story stays with you.

In the 40s almost all day here in FL about an hour north of West Palm Beach! I was so cold!

[@jdmcmarke]

Loved the entire flosstube!

[@disorderlystitcher]

Great to see you again! I love your WIPS. Martha Pudsy is on my list..... some day.

[@ruthheiderich332]

Great Video! Congrats on your new finish!

[@natalieanagnos5747]

Super video! Your projects are stunning. I’m starting We Used to Live Here today. We seem to share the same taste in books. I HIGHLY recommend these 2 authors: Tananarive Due and Simone St. James. Especially The Good House & The Reformatory by TD and The Sundown Motel & The Broken Girls by SSJ. Happy stitching and reading!

[@Cozyegg]

We have the same sweater! (Mine is green) I love that you are reading again and enjoying it. More books less doom scrolling sounds like a solid plan. I just bought my first bottle of Mooncat. Excited to try it.

[@Jjoy4711]

Your finish is gorgeous! Congratulations . Happy New Year-may you and your family be blessed.

[@stitcharella27]

i remember the days of going into a shop and it being filled with all the lakeside you could ever want .... ohhhh those were the days LOL I have Martha Pudsy she is a beauty, I need to choose a birthday start, she may a contender. I just got back into ready, there is just something so calming. And Girl I too am wishing for snow, I have to work tomorrow normally fridays we are open till 6 they said we will close at 5 I am hoping that they come to their senses and we leave at 1 LOL enjoy you snow day :)

[@MatrixStitcher]

Firstly, Jim buying you threads is the most romantic thing I’ve heard of in a while! He’s a keeper! You got me all excited to talk about books! I LOVED The God Of the Woods, especially for that summer camp vibe. And Grady Hendrix has become an author I will buy without even reading the cover. How to Sell a Haunted House was excellent, not just for the (creepy!) story, but he just got the brother/sister, complicated family dynamic SO perfectly. The pain, love, misunderstandings, old hurt feelings. It was so real. He has a short story called “Ankle Snatcher” that still has me creeped out about it every night for the last 6 months! If you like good horror like that, have you read T. Kingfisher? She’s my new favorite author. What Moves the Dead is a retelling of The Fall of the House of Usher, and I honestly think Poe himself would be thrilled with her retelling. It was amazing. I added We Used to Live Here to my “must read soon!” list. Thanks for the rec. Happy New Year Emily!

[@emilyc325]

I'll look into all of those. Thank you!! I'm a reading session or two away from finishing The God of the Woods. Soooo good.

[@michellehenriott9704]

I always love spending time watching your videos! I am excited you have been enjoying reading again. Hidden pictures was a fantastic read, and I always enjoy Riley Sager. Grady Hendricks is always fun to read. I have been enjoying Jeneva Rose these days. I suggest her if you like thrillers. My first read from her was You shouldn't have come here. I was hooked! Hugs from northeast Tennessess❤

[@loishoag8687]

Asking a favor from you. I looked on instagram and did not see a conversion. Would you give me your conversion to Factory Haunted House. I have the pattern, but it is not my style of cross stitch. I usually stitch Kathy Barrick designs. It would greatly be appreciated if you have it handy.

[@emilyc325]

So it's not one I have charted or written down. I'm winging it as I go. 😔

If you like a little bit spookier read check out City of Masks by Daniel Hecht!

Ooh that vibrant blue on the Fossil for a monochromatic piece? Or add a second blue for a dual color piece?

[@stitchinginhighheels9529]

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who found God of the Woods hard to put down! Have you read anything by Charlie Donlea? I picked up Summit Lake while I was on vacation, and it had one of those endings that caught me by surprise even though I should have at least considered it as a potential option. 🪡👠

[@emilyc325]

@@stitchinginhighheels9529 I haven't but have a couple by that author on my list.
