Flosstube #35 - November Wrap Up & Flossmas Plans

[@RosieKasmarek]

What a great update. I do hope Doc is getting closer to becoming an indoor cat again. Your finish on the album is the BEST thing ever. It's going to make a fabulous gift. Happy Thanksgiving! Patti

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

Thank you so much, Patti, for both those comments! It was a fun finish, and I'm hopeful about Doc too.

I love the apple tree seasons stitch! The sheep stitch, bag, and purchase are adorable! I love the record finish idea! How original! Fun plans! It was great to see you and all you’re working on! 😊

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

Oh, thank you so much! ❤️

[@rhondazamora8136]

Thanks for the update on Doc. I’m glad he’s safe, well fed and having an adventure. Silly boy.

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

Indeed he is!

[@helend.flosstube]

The record finish is such a cool idea! Looking forward to your flossmas videos!

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

Thank you! I'm looking forward to your weekly videos too!

[@rachelwasserman8424]

Wow! Record finish blows my mind😮

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

@@rachelwasserman8424 Thank you! It was fun to think of and put together.

Deborah!! Greetings from Dallas!! Such an enjoyable flosstube!! Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!! ❤️

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

Michael! Thank you for always being such an enthusiastic viewer. And happy Thanksgiving to you too!

That little pillow is awesome. I am amazed at how well others stuff pillows. I can't get a nice firm even stuffing done. So excited you got your little advents done before the holidays! I love when you pull out the sheep! I hope one day you stitch the big sheep, I was so looking forward to seeing him come alive. But I totally get your feelings on wanting a project but not loving the process. That record finish is awesome. Your finishes are always so perfect. Looking forward to flossmass!

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

I am so envious of well-stuffed pillows too! And yay for someone else loving the sheep too! Even as I was filming, I was reconsidering doing the big sheep soon too. 🤣

[@melissaearly7302]

I love the record finish! What a fun and unique piece!

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

Yay, thank you so much!

[@christineaustin9656]

What a great idea using the record!!!

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@robinbunis6792]

Deborah such a unique idea with the record finish. Enjoyed your flossmas last year and looking forward to Sundays in December. Hopefully Doc sees the error in his ways and comes home... maybe some turkey cut up outside your door will entice him. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃!

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

@@robinbunis6792 Thank you, Robin! I'm glad to hear you'll be joining me for Flossmas again this year. And yes, there may need to be some Turkey enticements! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

[@homemadeontheridge]

Love watching your videos! Your finishes are fantastic!

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

Oh, thank you so much!

[@sewmesarah]

Lovely catch up Deborah. I really like your record finish for your friend. Very clever!

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

Thank you so much, Sarah! Always lovely to catch up with you too.

[@MollyInEngland]

Hi Deborah Lovely to see you for another brilliant catch up and all things stitchy. I’ve been thinking about Doc and ‘wishing’ him to return home but by the sounds of it he’s being a little stubborn still. I think the idea of enticing him towards the house is a brilliant plan, my fingers are crossed. The stitching and finished pieces are gorgeous as usual. Take care my friend and look forward to seeing you on Sunday Vlogmas. 👵 x P.s. give Wesley a cuddle from me.

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

@@MollyInEngland Hi Molly! Yes, Doc is definitely being stubborn. But today he came by to eat about 4 times, so the porch is an acceptable place now anyway. (Wesley says hi!). And thanks too for tuning in for Flossmas!

[@jlk_stitches]

Hello Deborah, I’m only just catching up with your videos. Hope you have success with enticing Doc home especially as it gets colder. As always, lovely to see your stitching. Great progress, I love the seasons (but I just can’t resist any form of seasonal stitching!). Thank you for showing the hanger on your vinyl finish - I now need to find a ‘his masters voice’ chart as my Dad would love that mounted on an old 78! See you for flossmas tomorrow 😊

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

Thank you, Judith! I love that idea for your dad too. I look forward to seeing it sometime!

[@lindaboudreau7154]

Hi Deborah, glad to hear Doc is okay and close by. I really like the Apple Branch stitch. It turned out wonderful. The record finish is perfect! Turn up the beet, lol. I’m going to look up that author. Those books are right up my alley😊

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

@@lindaboudreau7154 Thank you, Linda! I'm so glad to hear the author sounds interesting too. Let me know which of her books you decide to try first.

[@rhondazamora8136]

Lovely seeing you! I have fallen behind in my book prompts. Oh well, 2025 is a new year. Your finishes are always great but your FFO on the album is incredible! I am very intrigued by your new author. I’m going to look for her novels. I will see you for Flossmas. I loved last year’s videos. See you soon.

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

Hi Rhonda! 2025 is definitely a new year! The prompts are just intended to be an incentive, not a burden, so read and enjoy however works for you. And I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed Flossmas last year and will be tuning in again this year. They're fun to do.

[@scienceknitster]

I found your channel last year during Flossmas and enjoyed it very much. I’ve been away from FlossTube for awhile and glad to catch up with you again. Beautiful finishes and the album finish is unique! I’m intrigued by your book prompt and have decided to read Isabel Allende’s The House of the Spirits, which I’ve been meaning to read for a long time.

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

Welcome and good to have you here again (though I completely understand the need to take a break too). And I'm so glad to hear the prompt is calling to you and a book that's been on your list for a long time. I have plenty of those too!

[@stitchingontherock]

Hi Deborah, boy, you've been busy. Looking forward to seeing all your new starts, you choose to replace your finishes. Love the record FFO.

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

Thank you so much! The record definitely seems to be a hit (no pun intended ...). 😂
