Flosstube #18 - I'm Back!! WIP Parade and Where I've Been.

[@reginebacherle8728]

I´m so so happy that you´re back, "endless Flossabilities" is wonderful, but no matter what or which, important is, you´re back. I missed your wonderful work! Welcome back and please, don´t feel stressed!!!!!

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you so much! That means alot to me to me!!

[@721Irish]

Your work is unbelievable.My son is the book reader and serious collector, and film too. He watches a lot of KZbin, he needs to check you channel out! He’s in the medical field so it’s his escape. I’m just starting two full coverages. A Gypsy Girl, an old portrait from Sunrays Creations and the Enchanto house and characters, a Disney movie, which one day will be a gift. It’s like 39” x48”. I must be crazy but it will be a heirloom one day as the Gypsy Girl which is huge too. Being Irish, my childhood dream was to have my own horse drawn caravan😊🤣. Please come back and stay! I’m learning to use Pattern Keeper and 22 count. This is all new to me but I love watching everyone’s progress. I’ve kitted one project and waiting for my fabric for the other, I have the bookshelf chart and want to do it for my son. It’s perfect. All your work is wonderful but my son is really OCD about books and cinema but I bet he will love watching your channel. Thank you so much for sharing

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you so much!! 39"x48" wow!! That's bigger than any of mine. Have fun! One stitch at a time and it eventually be done :)

[@MsKarenMR]

New subscriber 🤗 Your Wips are Amazing!! Thanks for Sharing! I like "Flossabilities are Endless"! Happy Stitching 💖!!!

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you! I'm glad you found me and thank you for the name input, I still do think about it.

[@the_xstitching_runner]

Sean, I'm really glad you're coming back to Flosstube! I've missed seeing all of the really cool projects you're working on.

[@shaunpstitches]

Thanks so much Kristen!

[@SarahsStitchySpot]

First time viewer, but certainly glad that you have returned. Amazing stitching. The Audrey Hepburn piece will be stunning.

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you! I am glad that you found me! Yes Audrey is a definitely a view fav!

[@claraarellano1867]

So very glad you are back and are going to be doing cross stitching videos. Love it and seeing all your wonderful WIPs. Endless Flossabilities is my vote! See ya next time! Thank you for coming back!

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you so much Clara!

[@sherrywheeler2076]

So glad to see you back! My vote is for endless flossabilities. Any true cross stitcher immediately hears that and can resonate with it. When you said the name, I said out loud like you could hear me: “I get you” LOL. Happy stitching😃

[@shaunpstitches]

Thanks Sherry!! LOL That's hilarious.

[@stitchingaddicted]

I did watch it all. Lol. Did love the name endless. Was thinking you had endless wips. Loved them all.

[@shaunpstitches]

Thanks for watching it all LOL! I do feel like I have endless wips.

[@dianemiller7994]

I love how when you get an idea to try a different stitching direction, you go for it. More power to you.

[@shaunpstitches]

I have to. I can't stop thinking about the new idea until I try it.

[@marzipanstitcher8571]

Glad I found you. You popped up in my recommendation list. I prefer the endless version of your new name. Fabulous selection of wips. I am also a great fan of Cris Ortega, gutted I missed fire opal, so yet to start any of her portraits. Also love Anne Stokes.

[@shaunpstitches]

Hey Marzipan Stitcher! I am glad you found me as well. Yeah I snagged Fire Opal day one. I also like Anne Stokes, I have Dragon Kin and QS Realm of Tranquility in my stash, someday I'll start them LOL.

[@headinthebooks904]

I’m so glad I found your channel, booktube definitely changes your relationship with reading! I’m just new to cross stitching and consuming everything I can at the moment and now I’ve got to add some of these to my list. I hope you find a good balance for yourself but the less stress you can put on something that your meant to enjoy the better. 😊

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found my channel too! Welcome to cross stitching and the struggle of balancing stitchy time with reading time LOL!

[@katelynnschuette5389]

I stumbled across your video and enjoyed it very much. Your WIP's are stunning 😍

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you Katelynn!

[@patm8751]

Just found your channel. Love all of your beautiful projects! Looking forward to following your progress😊

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you! I am happy you found me!!

[@donhanlon241]

I just found your channel through another Flosstuber, unfortunately I have forgotten who. Personally I like Lost in Endless Flossabilities. Happy stitching! :)

[@shaunpstitches]

Thanks Don! I am happy you found me. Apologies for the late reply.

[@mm-qm9zh]

Hey, Shaun!!! Happy to see you back again, friend! 🙂 it’s good to see your progress on all the projects you are working on. I so agree with your comments at the end...Thanks for coming back! Hope to see you again soon. Meline

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you so much Meline!!

[@e_craftingincolorado]

I finally got to watch this! I’m so glad your back. Great to see your progress ~ elisa

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you so much Elisa!

[@stitchingmoon]

Yay!! So glad you came back!! 🥳😄 amazing WIP parade. Endless Flossabilities is my vote. You could also do just Lost in Floss! Guilty - I’ve never seen Breakfast at Tiffany’s. But loved the 90s song! 😅

[@shaunpstitches]

Thanks Meghan!! There is a Lost in Floss already. I thought of that first. I did also think of Eclectic Floss or Eclectic Stitches tonight too. Which would tie in my original channel name. Yes the 90's song is also a classic LOL!

[@stitchingmoon]

@@shaunpstitches 😂 oh I like eclectic stitches!

[@alisonpalmer566]

Hi Shaun, lovely to see you back. I have missed seeing your wip progress. Your pieces are so beautiful. As for the name change, I think Endless Flossibilities is the best name. Hope to see you again soon.

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you Alison. That is so nice to hear! Thank you for the input on the name.

[@melyellystitches]

Hello friend!!! So wonderful to see you back on Flosstube! I am really glad you have decided to be a dedicated Flosstuber, you are very good at it and you have a lot of great pieces to share! Endless flossabilities is a great name! Enjoy this whole video right to the end, welcome back! 😀😀

[@shaunpstitches]

Mely!! Thank you so much. It's good to be back. Good to hear from you friend!

[@candacebex4370]

I'm new. But your Audrey Hepburn piece is true artistry. Working in those gray tones must require a lot of good eyesight and patience as well as skill.

[@shaunpstitches]

The grays do get tiring, I can only work on that one for a couple of days then I gotta switch.

[@jamesthephstitcher]

Happy to see you back in the flosstube community. Loved seeing the progress of your full coverage projects. More flosstube update to come and happy stitching.

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you James!!

[@Lakhana626]

👋 first time seeing your video. Im so in love with the piece Outer Frontier. And yes I made it this far.

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you Lakhana!! I know right?! That was the first HAED I fell in love with and had to start.

[@Lakhana626]

@@shaunpstitches I love his style of work. Similar taste pattern 🙂

[@therockingstitcher]

So good to see you back Shaun! And the stitchy community is definitely worth coming back to. We’re fun! So much full coverage🤤 I loved it! And I like the way you think. Start everything so you can stitch on whatever you feel like. If I loose my little contest with Debbie (who ends the year with the least amount of wips) I’ll blame you, cause this might become my new mantra😂

[@shaunpstitches]

Thanks Gemima!! It's good to be back. LOL I guess since you were one of my first stitchy friends I'll let you blame me :)

[@cjstitches5709]

Absolutely love your projects ❤️. Wow! You have made great progress on them. They really are beautiful. Keep up the good work and stitch what makes you happy ❤️. Have a great couple of weeks, stay safe and happy stitching ❤️

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you so much CJ! The same to you!!

[@cjstitches5709]

@@shaunpstitches Thank you ❤️

[@ninahobbysite]

Great projects. I think Lost in Floss is perfect. Than we know is you I think. Have fun with your stitching, don't worry about viewers. Cross stitcher like to watch flosstube I think. Happy stitching!

[@shaunpstitches]

Thanks Nina! Lost in Floss is already taken, I looked into that one months ago. So it would have to be Lost in Flossabilities, which i do worry is a bit too close to Lost in Floss.

[@ninahobbysite]

@@shaunpstitches o I had no idea. Sorry. Its so hard to come with a name. But what you choose its good.

[@confessionsofaserialstitcher]

New sub here...beautiful work...looking forward to future videos & your progress. I just started my first HAED...The Reef...So addicting. So many I want to do now. 😁

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you! I'm happy you found me. HAED's are super addicting, the struggle is real.

[@SuperDizzydaz]

Good to see you back again has been a long time. You have made some good progress on some of you projects. You could name your channel Shaun( sorry if spelt wrong) lost in endless flosabilities. Look forward to your next video

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you Darren!! Yes you did spell it correctly. :) That's not a bad suggestion. I also last night thought of either Eclectic Floss or Eclectic Stitches which brings in an aspect of my original channel name.

[@karlabeingcrafty1089]

Hi Shaun. I am happy to see you back! I vote for Endless Flossabilities. I like clever punny names like that. I totally understand your feelings about losing your enjoyment/drive to read when it gets attached to being video content. I am like that with stitching challenges and challenge groups. As soon as there is an “assignment” to do a certain number of stitches on a certain project my interest in working on that project flies out the window. So although I enjoy hearing about them from other FlossTubers, challenge groups are not for me.

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you Karla!! Yes. I have tried a few challenges in FB Groups too and just don't keep up with them, or feel like working on the pieces that fulfill the challenges. It's why I fall behind on WIPGO, once the number is called I suddenly don't feel like working on that project.

[@triciareitz1619]

Great to see you back! Love all the progress!

[@shaunpstitches]

Thanks so much!

[@outdoorsystitcher2573]

New subscriber, loved your wips. Do what makes you happy, life is too short not too. I have always just done 1 kreinik whether it's 1x1 or 1x2. There is nothing wrong with 2 if it looks good to you. It might be bulky if there a group of stitches all together but it's probably a test it out to see what you love. I look forward to watching your progress.

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you for the advice on the Krenik and for subbing. My apologies for the late reply.

[@siljabirgisdottir737]

Hi Shaun, wonderful to see you back! I loved seeing all your projects and look forward to follow your progress. That ‘next 5%’ idea is great, I might borrow that one 🤔. I like the Endless Flossabilities name.

[@shaunpstitches]

Thanks Silja!! Borrow away! I've yet to see how well it's going to work for me but I think the idea is sound.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

Wonderful to see you back!!!

[@shaunpstitches]

Thanks Andrew!

[@FrostyXStitch]

Good to see you back and hope to see your stitching more regularly... To be honest, your KZbin name is not that important to me, as I just want to know it is you. I know you want your name to reflect what your channel is about, but how about leaving it as is for the time being and when you get into a routine on filming for a few months, you might have a name come to you. Also you can still talk about books and some films at the end of a Flosstube, some Flosstubers do that or do a life update, and I enjoy that part, others can leave and just stay for the stitching. Happy Stitching and I hope you can reach your Birthday goals 🧵🥰💜

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you Dawn!! I can always count on you for the rational "hey take a step back and think about this" advice. I truly appreciate it and you.

[@larrettamullen4023]

I'd say, if you want it to feel like a clean slate/reboot (even beginning with a new episode #1), then go with "Endless Flossabilities." If you just want to revamp the content a little bit and edit the name to match, "Lost in Flossabilities" (with/without "the") transitions more smoothly. Both names are great, so you won't go wrong either way; just choose what feels right. Stay safe and stitch happy.

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you for the input Larretta! That is definitely something to consider. I like removing "the" from second option. Good suggestion.

[@suelandriault8137]

Nice to see you back again. While Endless Flossabilities sounds great, I think you should contact the lovely lady who came up with Flossabilities and find out if she minds you using it before you change the channel name. You have some great wips & great progress. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you Sue! I actually am planning to do that. I have a request in to follow her Instagram so that I can message her. She recently had an issue her instagram and had to change accounts. But I wanted to get viewer feedback on the name in the meantime.

[@suelandriault8137]

Sorry if I sounded like I meant you absolutely had to. I didn't want sound that way. I am glad that you are going to reach out to her though! Take care, enjoy your stitching!

[@shaunpstitches]

Oh no worries. I fully intended to. You helped me realize that I forgot to mention that in the video. So thank you. I added a note in the description.

[@kirstyb_crafts6954]

Just found your channel and super glad you’ve decided to continue 👏🏻 I love Chris Ortega - Shadowness is on my wish list but scared of the amount of black 😅

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you Kristyb! I'm glad you found my channel. What I find with large amounts of black is that they are nice to work on when I'm just sitting watching tv, want to stitch, but don't want to keep changing floss colors. I just watch my show and bust through a few hundred stitches of black.

[@debohare674]

I like both names but think I will choose endless floss abilities.

[@shaunpstitches]

Hi Deb! Thank you for the input.

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

I say do what makes you happy

[@shaunpstitches]

Thanks Andrew!

[@Delmajesty]

Welcome back! Can you link me to your very last pattern?

[@Delmajesty]

I found it :-)

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you! Oh good, I hadn't had a chance to see what my last one was in this video yet LOL.

Endless Flossabilities

[@shaunpstitches]

Thanks for the input!

[@paulashelgren5696]

If you do not like doing French knows, I use delica beads instead

[@shaunpstitches]

Hi Paula! I don't know if I like doing french knots or beads yet LOL! I've not done either. But that is a good suggestion thank you!
