Flosstube #25 - WIPs, 2023 Plans & Life/Channel Updates

[@kcfield601]

The city street scape just catches me. It's awesome. Can never gone wrong with Audrey Hepburn. She was one classy lady. Henry Mancini wrote Moon River in her key so she could sing. All other times you heard her sing, the voice was dubbed. Same dubbed voice did singing for Debra Kerr in her musical. A lot of WIPs . I can't do counted cross stitch anymore. I have had 2 strokes and have issues with numbers. I do stamped cross stitch. Currently working on Sunflower Basket for my wife. She loves sunflowers. Thank you for the show and tell. Good luck on your new job.

Thank you! You too!

[@jennylawson1980]

Your WIPs speak for themselves. You are doing a wonderful job. I did venture to your other channels but this one is my favorite. I love spending time and learning from you 😊 And please send love to your wife as well.

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you so much!

Congratulations on the new job🎉🎉🎉🎉 The ONLY good thing that came out of COVID was providing virtual positions🥳. Happy Stitching

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you!!

[@claraarellano1867]

Endless Flossabilities gets my vote. I enjoy watching your videos.

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you!

Hey Shau! Great to see you again! Congrats on the new job! Your wips are looking awesome. I have about 25 full coverage wips & so many more I want to start. I am trying to not start any more, even though I have the fabric, until I get one of them to 50%. I like both the channel name ideas. I did see another channel with flossabilities in the name but can't remember the whole name. Hope you & your wife have a great week. Much love ❤

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you!! I get it, Audrey is the only one I have that has reached 50%, it's at 52%. I think the next highest is The Outer Frontier which is sitting around 40%. The channel you are thinking of is just called Flossabilities. I actually talked to Lauren last year when I was considering the name change and made sure she was ok with me using it if that was what I decided. I am leaning more toward Eclectic Stitches or Eclectic Stitcher though. I was still Eclectic Reads when started Flosstube and I kinda like calling back to that.

New Sub. Congratulations on your job! How exciting for you. Love the pieces you are working on & am looking forward to watching your journey throughout the year. I'm now off to watch your WIP Parade! Kudos from Australia~

[@festifstitch]

Congratulations on your new job, Shaun! Hope that you enjoy it. I like the way ' Lost in floss' sounds, but ether way I like your contract and will be happy to watch your videos.

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you! Lost in Floss is actually already a channel. I'm actually now thinking I am just going to rename to Shaun P. Stitches.

[@BlushingPinkStitches]

Happy new year! I found your channel through your wip parade also and have enjoyed seeing your stitching 😊 Take care and happy stitching, Lindsi ☺️

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you! I am happy you found me and I have your channel pulled up in a browser tab to check out as soon as I can.

[@msufly]

Congrats on the new job Shaun! Glad you get to stay in MI. I understand your thinking on the channel...best to do what's easiest for your hobby. Great progress so far in 2023!

[@shaunpstitches]

Thanks Kim! Yeah moving out of MI was not an even an option because of my wife's job. She is fully remote but still has to live in within a general area of Detroit to keep the job, and it's a good job. Plus we wouldn't want to move too far away from either of our parents or our nieces.

[@ShelleensCreativityRoom]

I had to go check out chris Ortega. love them all.

[@nicolegoulet6110]

Happy New Year! I’m happy to see your stitching. I prefer stitching of videos and books, because English is not my language, than I have some difficulties to understand everything.

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you! There should be plenty of stitching videos to look forward to.

[@sangomcm4760]

Happy new year and congratulations on your new job!

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you!

[@suelandriault8137]

Nice to see you back again! Happy New Year to you and your wife! Personally, I would go with Eclectic rather than Endless just because of Lauren. I know you chatted with her and she is okay with it but I can't not think that it will be seen as copying her by some people. I'm glad you chose cross stitch over books and films. It makes it easier for me to watch as I don't watch videos on the other two topics. Congrats on the job! I knew you wouldn't be out of work for long! Take care!

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you! I am leaning more toward Eclectic. I worry about the same thing a little bit myself and I also like the idea of the reference back to when I started, as I was Eclectic Reads when I started Flosstube. I honestly did not even mean to mention Endless when talking about the name change but then I just started brain vomiting LOL.

[@karlabeingcrafty1089]

What about “Eclectic Flossibillities”? Then you can have the best of both worlds 😊

[@shaunpstitches]

Ooh I like the way you think. Actually I am thinking now that I am just going to rename to Shaun P. Stitches.

[@karlabeingcrafty1089]

Well I always think it is a good idea to have your name as part of your channel name 😊

[@reginebacherle8728]

Happy New Year to you and your wife! And congrats to your new job! I´m again looking for a new one. The name of your channel is not so important for me, Lost in floss, books and films was absolutely okay, because no one expected that you´re talking about all new books and films every video. If these things are the hobbys you want to talk about (every now and then), it´s absolutely okay. Important is that you don´t feel any pressure to do a next video if you don´t feel so or if you don´t have the time to. It´s a hobby, you should love it and enjoy what you´re doing in your free time. I´m looking forward to the next video, undependent if it´s in a week or two. Have fun!

[@shaunpstitches]

Thank you! Sorry to hear you are on the job market again. Hopefully you find the right thing soon. It's less about pressure to make book and film videos and more about looking at books and movies as there potential content value instead of just enjoying whatever I want and then talking about it. I'll still bring them up from time to time because their a part of my life but I need to get my old relationship with them back.
