Caroling. Years ago, circa 1972, our Youth Group did find it safe enough in our tiny Midwestern town to go caroling. It was so fun and we thought we were all amazing vocalists. Our leader would provide the title song as we arrived at the house. Que little Grandma opening door, we hear our instruction "Joy to the World" and from the back row Really Loudly "Jeremiah was a Bullfrog" Grandma didn't get it but we cracked up😂😂😂 Such a great memory lo these many years later. Joy to your World Pam and Steph!

[@barbaraclepper8587]

Pam and Steph, you both are a joy to watch and listen to...love your videos! Merry Christmas! 🎄⛄

[@stitchinginhighheels9529]

I'm always relieved when you feature flosstubers that I'm already watching, since your recommendations never steer me in a wrong direction. Your 70s Kitchen is so much fun to watch - it definitely brings back memories, especially when you mentioned the mushrooms. My aunt LOVED mushrooms and I remember looking for gifts for her when I was small with a mushroom theme. I can't believe that it's time to make new WIPGO boards already.. this was my first year doing it and I really like the progress I was able to make. 🪡👠

[@nerissasstitchinglifestyle]

Pam and Steph, thank you so much for the wonderful shout out . I was blown away to ear you called me out. So appreciated. ❤❤❤ happy holidays season.

[@JustKeepStitchin]

@@nerissasstitchinglifestyle Our pleasure! 💕

[@jordynp917]

I immediately started singing the instrumental part when Stephanie sang Sugar, Sugar! Love it when someone’s brain works like mine and immediately links song lyrics to things in life. Also Steph, you are right on both counts. Sugar, Sugar comes first followed by Honey, Honey! Loved all of the stitching ladies. It’s all so beautiful. Lastly, while I’m not as dedicated of a Wicked fan as you two are, I also find myself randomly singing the songs throughout my day!

[@wandamccoll3739]

Such fun, thank you!!! I totally agree with you that Christmas cards are such a joy to send and receive. Thanks as always and happy stitching! (hope you get to see Wicked again!)

[@empm1330]

Hi Pam and Steph I love your WIP's. You two are a hoot and make me laugh a lot. When you told me about Rhea from Blue coast stitcher from Ontario Canada I too was born in Hamilton Ontario Canada and will be checking out and watching her floss tube. I always enjoy the silver and gold floss tuber and enjoyed and have on my list already. I will be starting 25 new starts along with some smalls for gifts for 2025. I will be going to my LNS Stitchery X-Press only 5 minutes from my home and Shepards bush 21 minutes from my home and will be looking at material and patterns. Wishing you Steph a Happy Birthday this month. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Pat

[@carylbender5104]

I really enjoy watching you both each week! The "Cuz math" section always makes me chuckle! Stephanie, I am issuing a friendly challenge to include some multiplication in your computation . For example: (15 x 20) + (8 x 8) = 364. "Cuz math is more than addition!"

[@sandineumann1]

I spent a stitching afternoon watching your videos. Thanks for all you two do for the stitching community.

[@kimvernon5236]

Such a fun video!!!! I am seeing Wicked tomorrow, cant wait,

[@laurievottero9676]

Oh ladies. You do not need to get down on your bellies to turn on your tree lights. There is an amazing extension cord that plugs into the wall, then your tree lights plug into it - and the other end of the cord is a push button that will turn on (and off) the lights. We pack ours away with our tree every year! You will be amazed how easy it is to use!

[@moosemom2010]

So many giggles today! I love seeing all the Christmas cards you receive! Happy birthday month, Steph! 🫎

[@kellykeiko4918]

Beautiful stitching as always! As for New Year’s Eve activity ideas, I know you ladies have gone through the under-the-bed box on Instagram live. I don’t have instagram, so I haven’t ever been able to see those. So a video like that, or one where you go through your WIPs, could be fun for the KZbin side of things. It doesn’t really matter what the activity is, as long as you are having fun, we will, too. 😊

I saw wicked on Thanksgiving. Loved it.

Loved your episode as always and thank you for the silver / gold floss tubers! I went and watched Nerissa - WOW!!! So good and so much to see! Ria will be after your video! And I have had the 70's kitchen pattern and yours motivated me to get it out and start, I have so many fond memories of my mom's 70's kitchen. We got a fondue pot for a wedding gift in 1982 and we still have it lol! 😂Happy Stitching!!

I'll second the remote control plugs! I bought some at Aldi last year- game changer. I can turn on 4 different areas at once or turn them on/off individually. No crawling around on the floor to turn things on and off- because to be honest some days I wouldn't be able to get back up lol. I've seen them at several stores especially at this time of year. Thanks for another fun video you guys brighten my week!

So imagine my shock when I heard repeated kitty sneezing while I listened on AirPods to your Tube last night! I was looking at both our cats and they were sound asleep!! I thought maybe my husband had surprised me with a new kitty baby! Mr. Mac is a delicate sneezer! Love you guys ❤

[@JustKeepStitchin]

It was Milkshake sneezing 👍

[@vickieengels4825]

Another great video; if no one else has suggested.... Invest in a plug in timer for your tree, its a game changer for people of a certain age..you know what I mean😋 We have one on the tree and on the outside lights; they come on at dusk & turn off at bed time. See you next time

[@ANeedleandNovel]

I'm totally in for Wicked caroling!! The whole soundtrack is stuck on repeat in my head 24/7. I have proudly turned my 7 year old daughter into a Wicked fan and she's always walking around belting Defying Gravity lol!!! I just got back into stitching after taking a break to care for my dad and moving! Love the videos. This will be my first year attending the Jingle Ball and I'm so excited!!

I've still yet to go, but hoping maybe next week 🙈 Be well, and happy stitching 💜

[@BlueCoastStitcher]

I woke up yesterday to a rumor that Pam and Steph, the Flosstube Queens, had a shout out for me. At first it was. “WHAT?!?!” “ME?!?!” So I sat down yesterday after supper, just to hear what you had to say about me. Thank you. Thank you. I am honoured that you gave my little Flosstube channel some love ❤️ I have enjoyed your channel since I stumbled upon it I think 5 years ago?!? I lose track of time everyday , and counting back years is impossible. Unless it’s our wedding anniversary. Lol. Again. Thank you for the shout out. And thank you for bringing laughter and joy and stitches to our world every week.

[@JustKeepStitchin]

All the Wicked talk inspired me to show the Wizard of Oz to my 8 year old daughter who doesn’t really watch movies. She watched almost the whole thing and wanted to watch it again the next day!

Another Sunday night video with my 2 favorite ladies … oh how I enjoy the fun and laughter … love y’all’s projects, hauls, etc … I am joining in on Jingle Ball for the 1st time this coming Friday … I hope I am finished with my stitch by then … until next time Happy Stitching 🧵 … 😊❤ Dena

[@jenniebest5354]

My in-laws got us tickets to see Wicked on Thanksgiving and sadly we woke up Thanksgiving morning and realized they accidently bought tickets for the week before and we all missed it. 😢 I guess we'll go when my oldest is back from college next week. I love the idea of caroling with Wicked songs. My girls would also like to add Hamilton songs to the mix. 😂 Luckily in our area of Utah caroling is still a thing and the youth at our church usually go together. It's extra fun when the band kids bring their instruments, like the tuba.

[@carolfawcett1297]

Lots of laughter and great stitching projects this week! Steph, the PS Alphabet is so cute, and looking amazing! I am so glad that you had a nice and low key Thanksgiving! Pam, please don’t get down on the floor on your belly! I hope that you find a better way of lighting the tree! Looking forward to seeing you at the Jingle Ball!

Oh Em Gee Steph!!! I’ve never heard anyone else say the phrase, “colder than a witch’s $$$”, in the 35+ years since I first heard my attorney/boss say it to me on the daily. I was a young, naive “Girl Friday” working my first full-time job out of high school in upstate NY and his greeting every morning to me was that phrase. He is no longer with us but I wish that I had kept a journal of his phrases from our conversations….they were priceless. Then, Pam’s 70’s kitchen project and the discussions surrounding the motifs just crack me up. 😂😂😂 All those things were in my home growing up. The orange, yellow and green household items, along with….fondue parties…..Tupperware ….. Avon …. rabbit ear tv antennas…. rotary dial phones, with party lines …. Wood paneling, scalloped carpeting …. I can relate Pam. And then, as soon as I thought you were winding down, Steph mimicked Macaroni’s fangs hanging out … that face! 😅 And then, just once more, I had to stop and put my boots on …. IYKYK … it was getting deep 😂😂😂 … as Steph read Steph’s quote on her parrot design. Keep up the fun! Every video has me laughing out loud …. Even at 11:11 pm when everyone else is sound asleep.

Great video as always, ladies. Saw Wicked yesterday and it was awesome. I will see it again with most of my family in a couple weeks. I noted something that I think was out of order in the chronology of things. Won’t say what it is. Just wanted to put my observation in writing.

[@StitchingDowntheRabbitHole]

I don't know why but I got the giggles when you both said "same, same".... I rarely hear that outside of my family. Long ago, I asked the waiter at a Chinese restaurant the difference between the garlic chicken and the broccoli chicken and he said "same, same, more broccoli". Forever more, our family either says same, same OR more broccoli to convey those sentiments... two things are actually different, yet are "same, same". Thanks for a good laugh. xoxo

[@DjaliStitches]

😊❤🤩🌹🌹🌹love your videos

[@janeteddy8675]

I was laughing about your reference of "yes, we have no banannas" on your video. Picture this: hubby and I had a backyard wedding in 2003. My uncle was the officiant. Now my family has many loose screws, and our ducks are never in a row. Hubby's family is a little stern. So my uncle announces it is time for the opening hymn. That's right.... "yes, we have no banannas..." my family sings right along..... his not so much. It was a wonderful day!

[@pkpenn]

You ladies are so funny! I'm originally from the south and when we are "viewing" something--it's a corpse at the funeral home. We go to the "viewing" of the body. I will never be able to hear viewing again without thinking of Wicked! ROFL

[@maureendetwiler6950]

They have extension cords with a button on the end to turn your tree off/on You’d have to get down on your belly to plug it in initially, but after that, you just step on the button and you’re set. Hope this helps. Prelit trees may be different.

Pam whrn talking about the pumpkin, you said that you xyx'd it. What does that mean? We got snow in western NC last night, but a lot of it already melted. 17° right now! 🥶

[@JustKeepStitchin]

That means, since it's overdyed thread, I'm stitching each x completely before the next one, to take full advantage of the various shades of the floss. Does that make sense?

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

@JustKeepStitchin totally. I usually stitch a row of half x's across, then stitch back across, instead of doing individual x's. I want a more subtle variegation. Am I doing it correctly for that effect, or should I be doing individual x's?
