Flosstube

[@frontofficed.burnell-power6288]

The first flosstube I watched ever was about 4 yrs ago and you were showing the finshes that were in boxes under the bed. I almost had a heart attack. I had never seen so many finishes outside of a LNS, let alone NOT FFO'd. After watching your parade of ornaments today, I am tempted to ask for your finger prints so we can verify your identity....Except there is the finished Kingdom of books! A demonstration of your amazing perseverance! So lovely to see. You deserve to be proud of yourself for all of it.

All of your projects are so inspirational. Congratulations on Kingdom of Books. That is a gorgeous piece to see on the wall. Pam

[@Handworkmaniac]

Thank You Pam!!! Yours was the one that inspired me to start it :)

[@sarahwebb1450]

Your afghan is going to be beautiful. It’s both a dream and a nightmare for me with all that fabric. You really have some of the best projects!

Beautiful stitching as always, Brenda! For anyone looking for the Toy Chest Etui - I am not certain it is exactly the same, but there is a Toy Chest Etui designed by Betsy Morgan in the book “Willing Hands The Counted Thread Embroidery of Betsy Morgan” published by Inspirations Studios in Australia. They also published a second book of Betsy Morgan’s work (“Willing Hands 2 More Counted Thread Embroidery by Betsy Morgan”) I have both books and they are both lovely.Maybe this is the year I will actually stitch something from one of the books!

[@Handworkmaniac]

Thank You! Ohhhhhh, I am SOOO glad you let me know where people can find the Toy Box Etui pattern!!!!!! Thank You!!!!! I will definitely share that the next time I show it :)

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

You have really been busy and productive. Do you find your stitching time has increased since your retirement?

[@Handworkmaniac]

Hi Dena!!!! Yes definitely, but not as much as I think it should have, lol. But Church and family are far more important than stitching and much more rewarding :)
