Flosstube #14 Mid Year WIP Parade and Shop Update

[@robinselby1]

What beautiful projects you have , goodness that was fun to watch and now I have got to get through all of mine! I think I have around 35 wips right now and maybe 12 new ones to start! I won’t live long enough to stitch everything I own for sure😂 yes ma’am I will adopt a wip ! I have before and it was so fun to stitch! Love it all❤ blessings

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@robinselby1 thank you! And yeah, I have enough to stitch for 100 years probably 🤣

[@bethanyrutta2377]

You have such beautiful stitches! I love them and your bags and folders!! So much pretty in one video! If you aren’t enjoying a stitch anymore, then maybe giving it to other stitchers to enjoy will be freeing and help you too. I only stitch on Aida, but I’d love to finish someone else’s stitch. I always look at thrift stores for unfinished pieces.

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@@bethanyrutta2377 you all are so encouraging about the stitch adoption! And thanks for the sweet words 😃

[@normaschwieterman9087]

First time watching.. did not know about floss tubers till today.. 10-20-24 😢 a friend told me about it.. l enjoyed your WIP parade .. loved everything and would more than ever.. love to adopt anything.. because l just buy what l can afford 😊

[@susanpickett1997]

Shout out from Virginia! You Popped up in my KZbin notifications and I caught your impressive WIP parade. Looking forward to seeing your new finishes.

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@susanpickett1997 hi Susan in Virginia! Hopefully the next video will be soon!

[@amyswihart7283]

Hi Cyndi, it was so good to see another video from you! You have so many fun projects; I loved seeing your wip parade. So much enabling. Botanical Study looks so good on that light purple. I think I would like to try a Hawk Run Hollow, but am always intimidated by the size. I find I am actually more of a product stitcher than process, and I really like to get finishes. I think I might be in the minority on that! In fact, I find I don't love starting projects. I get most excited about them at about the half way point, and especially as I am closing in on a finish. I am not a linen stitcher, but would absolutely be interested in adopting a wip on either aida or evenweave. Have a great rest of your summer. I'm enjoying the hot weather.

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@amyswihart7283 Awww thanks, Amy! You could do a long-term hawk run! If you plan just a chunk each month, then you know to put it away til next time! How is you american welcome btw, I don't remember your last post...are you way ahead? 🤣

[@amyswihart7283]

No, I'm right on schedule actually. I really like doing just a section each month. Kinda different for me. I will post next week.

[@sassyrogue4838]

I love the idea of project adoption. Your wips are fun & I've written a few to lookup later. Thanks for sharing! First time viewing here. :)

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@sassyrogue4838 thanks so much and wrlcome!

[@heidibuskey386]

Love a good wip parade. Very beautiful projects. Would absolutely be interested in adopting one of your wips.

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@@heidibuskey386 thank you! And it seems everyone so far likes the adoption idea 😍

[@kimberwatts]

Hello from Mississippi! This was a great video! You have some beautiful WIPS and project bags! Looking forward to your next video!

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@@kimberwatts thank you so much!!

[@carlenejewett138]

Just watched my first video of yours. Love all your WIPs and those project folios!! What a clever idea for an all-in -one project bag!! Love all those fabrics also!! Subscribing and liking!!😊

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@carlenejewett138 hi Carlene, welcome and thank you!!

[@ljcreations6094]

Loved your video!! I’m in Scotland, knitting at the moment but have about 5 or 6 cross stitch projects on the go. Nothing like your WIPS 😂… Will also be taking a 🧐 nosy in your Etsy shop as your project bags are absolutely gorgeous xx

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@ljcreations6094 thanks a ton! I'm actually finagling my first international shipment per request, so it's a definite possibility even though it says otherwise 😅

[@kansascitygirlinacoloradow4285]

Thanks for tagging me so I could find this!!! I do think doing an old and then a new WIP and alternating is a much more fun way to watch a WIP parade - maybe it will be a new trend! 😂

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@kansascitygirlinacoloradow4285 it was the perfect way to do it Julie, you've set the bar girl!

[@JillybeanL66]

Just found your flosstube and love all your wips and beautiful project bags, I snagged one in the past but missed out on these….will try again on the next batch lol. I know what you mean on the memory thing, but I think it is getting better since I waa able to dump/left go of all the information regarding my previous job. Retired at 58 stitching about year now. Cant wait to see your next video. Happy Stitching.

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@JillybeanL66 girl, I want to retire so badly!! So much I want to do! On the bags, so glad you love thenlm, and I'll hopefully have more coming this weekend?

[@kellyhorn5593]

Of course I would love to adopt a WIP depending on the project, it would be wonderful!!

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@@kellyhorn5593 so cool!

[@thaliapatricio9964]

Beautiful WIPs . Love them all. I love finishing up unfinished cross stitch starts. I am working on Villa Mirabilia right now that someone else started and determined that this one will get finished by me. It makes me wonder why she was no longer interested. Her stitching is just beautiful. So I am sure many would be interested in finishing up your beautiful work.

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@thaliapatricio9964 thank you so much! And yes it looks like quite a few people would adopt a wip 😀

[@bobbiejotansley3892]

First time watching you, I found you just randomly on my suggested u tubes videos. Loved your projects! I’m from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@katelinde1273]

Great WIP parade. Go Math Nerds!! Former jr high math teacher. 🤓 I work in media and sometimes when you light everything we say, you highlight nothing. Keep your light sources in front of you when possible. You will like the result better. Tip that I found for my fabric is I use a fine point Sharpie to note count/color/maker in selvage or margin. I love Picture this Plus, Lapin Loops, Fox and Rabbit.

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@katelinde1273 thanks for the tips! I'm headed back to my craft room next time. The cords on lamps and overhead was just all wrong, sigh 😕 lots of same loves on fabrics 😁

[@kitmar1667]

Love, love, loved seeing all your WIPs & all your project bags! Even though we watch the posted flosstube videos you post & see the wips as you start em or work on them, there's something really cool & special about seeing all the projects & the stories associated w/them back to back to back in 1 video! - I've adopted 4 different projects & absolutely adore adding my stitches to the work someone else started. The piece holds a combined story of the 2 of us, & that's really neat to me. One piece I adopted was started by a lefty, so all the stitches she put in are opposite of the way I stitch - I have a post-it note attached to the corner of the fabric to remind me to stitch it her way & not my normal way. LOL. - I'd be thrilled to adopt one of yours & add my stitches alongside of yours, for sure!!

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@kitmar1667 thank so much! And how totally cool! I never thought of it that way, it's like creating a bond with someone you don't know or hardly know!

[@suesew2909]

I love your projects! I am 71 years old and I can’t believe I’m there! Don’t worry about your memory because I think the important thing is that we all need to keep busy but As soon as we start thinking about stuff or stressing about things that aren’t worth it are brains get congested so no worries! I love your project bags and portfolios especially the vertical ones. Will you be selling more or do you have a pattern? Thanks Cyndi your quilting is great also. Sue

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@suesew2909 thanks so much Sue! Yes I will have more, every couple of weeks seems to be the pace so far. And the memory...pfft. I don't remember what you're talking about lol

[@janelldaley9403]

Project adoption is a great idea. I’d be interested in adopting an Aida project ✂️💕🪡🧵

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@@janelldaley9403 awww thanks!

[@patfortner9612]

I would love your cross stitch patterns finish or unfinished enjoying your flosstube

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@patfortner9612 thanks! I will definitely offer some up next video 😃

[@Lisa-vb3gn]

I enjoyed your video! Lovely projects. I just wanted to mention that colors are not masculine or feminine-they are just colors. Purple was always saved for royalty centuries ago, so you don’t have to be modern to like purple.😊 Looking forward to future videos!

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@Lisa-vb3gn thanks so much! Oh I know on the colors, but in today's society purple is more feminine, so it's harder to find a purple fabric line that's not too frilly is I guess what I was trying to say lol.

[@darlenesears6808]

[@shannabales2001]

How much is the top fold bag that stands up in pansy material

[@scrappychickcyndi]

@shannabales2001 the top fold pansy is sold through, but I could possibly do a custom order if all of the fabric is still available. It would be $70 for domestic/ free s/h. Thanks for the interest! Let me know and I can look next weekend for fabric
