Flosstube # 6 WIP Parade and Giveaways!

[@stitchodyssey8543]

Congratulations on your new house. It sounds like you and your husband have much labors of love ahead in restoring and renovating your historic home. You have some gorgeous projects in the works. Thanks for the warning about backing up progress on Pattern Keeper. How aggravating that must have been. I hope you are able to get some stitching time for yourself. Snow Maiden looks beautiful. Take care and thanks for sharing.

[@dawnusilton8120]

Wow!!!!! Your Snow Maiden is spectacular ❤. She is on my wish list. Love her colors so much. Thank you so much for sharing 😊 Congratulations on your new home. May it be blessed with much happiness ❤ Hopefully your irises will bloom in your garden after the snow is gone

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

Thank you so much! Her colors are stunning...too good to say no to. Fingers crossed for irises indeed!

[@MT-jb7pm]

All your projects look amazing and we all have to start somewhere. Congratulations on the new house, can't wait for a tour. Your start on the Snow Maiden is stunning and can't wait to see progress. The Garden in the silks is beautiful and look forward to seeing this finished.

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

Thank you so much! I'm learning to love the 40 count more so I think the Christmas Garden will get a little more time soon!

[@keithsusanstone2777]

I hope you get to enjoy the iris in your garden. The snow must melt away first.

[@tammydaigneault1424]

I love your stitching choices. Your house will be worth all the effort. Don't give up! Going slow gives you more time to think about ideas. I'll be doing projects to get my house ready to sell 😢 but that and digging up my garden plants will keep me busy and definitely put a dent in my stitching time, too. That's how we roll in New England!

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

oh I'm sorry to hear you are selling! That is so hard sometimes :( I hope you are able to salvage all your beautiful plants and transplant them in your new home!

[@ashleykerr2695]

Congrats on the house!! Christmas Garden and Snow Maiden are stunning! Both on my 'to stitch' list. 😊

[@cathybortz1779]

Congratulations on the new home. It will be fun for you this spring to see what grows in your garden.

[@denisefoo3063]

Congratulations on your new home. We purchased our first home a few years ago and I still stop at the top of my driveway take in the view and remember to be grateful. I enjoy following your progress. Thanks for keeping me company while I stitched today(Fairy Moon, my oldest wip).I would love to stitch snow maiden.

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

What a wonderful perspective to daily take in the blessing we have to be grateful for. That's just what I needed today (letting stress get to me). Oh I love Fairy Moon! I haven't gotten my hands on her quite yet.

[@vickimoody7605]

Your stitching is beautiful! Congratulations on your new home - perfect for all those samplers you're stitching. I would love to stitch Christmas Garden and Snow Maiden. You'll have to keep us updated on your home renovation. How exciting!!!

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

Thank you so much! I'm going to try and include some pictures of the "ugly room"

[@towmater1231]

Congratulations on the new house! Have fun remodeling/decorating! Hopefully you will have a lovely garden to tend to one day! Love all you WIPS! Happy stitching!

[@allie7505]

Hi Sarah, loved your WIP parade! Your house sounds wonderful...happy renovating 🎉 I also love the Irises in my garden and look forward to spring to see them bloom. Your Snow Maiden looks freakn amazing ❤

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

Thank you! I'll have to pick your brain on how to keep the irises alive ;p

[@lisadunham1454]

Your work is just beautiful. Hopefully your spring will start soon so you can work in your garden I to love Josephine Wall and have three of her projects only one going at a time because they are extremely confetti heavy. But when they’re done, they are breathtaking.

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

Thank you! Oh yes...definitely confetti heavy. She does such amazing things with color its hard not to start them all!

[@kimberlyreynolds5827]

I was very glad to see you back and glad to hear that you got your house. I enjoyed seeing all of your wips and new starts. If you don't start them you can't finish them so any little start is good. The snow maider pattern is beautiful.

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

Aww thank you! I'll have to tell my husband that next time a start another project 🥰🥰

[@susanlovenberg8725]

I live in AZ ,(Phoenix area), so we don’t get any snow but the Snow Maiden would be a welcome addition to my Mirabilia charts. Best of luck in your new home and your Masters degree.

[@sandigorton4215]

Congratulations on your new home. Love all your wips. Thanks for sharing, lovely video. The snow maiden looks amazing. Take care and happy stitching. 😊

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

Thank you so much!

[@pigmor]

Congratulations on the house. Exciting to discover the garden when spring finally arrives. We got about 30 cm of snow the other day, and now they promise even more today. I was hoping for spring, it's March. It feels appropriate with a snow maiden.

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

I'm hoping for spring as well! We are getting close to 30cm of snow today...again :p did you at least get some stitching done with your snow day??

[@pigmor]

@@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499 I did, a lot. 😊 But now I'm in hospital 🤕 With a little bit of luck I will be home to the weekend. I'm behind on my stitching. I really hope we both get spring soon

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

[@StitchinginDairyland]

I really enjoyed your video. Congratulations on your new home! Like you I stitch a lot of fancy ladies and full coverage. Never realized how lovely the snow maiden was until I’ve seen yours and Cross Stitch Bunny’s.

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

Thank you! The Snow Maiden really hides her true colors in the picture. Much more beautiful than even I expected!

[@joanrobertson631]

Snow Maiden has been on my wish list! She is so pretty!

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

She really is! You can't tell how pretty until you see someone stitch her. I feel like that's true with a lot of patterns.

[@HyggeStitcher]

Hello Lady Lugana ❤Congratulations on the purchase of your new home. You have accomplished a lot considering you had holidays, work, moving and renovating! I’m still contemplating my fabric choice for pandemic however, it’s my goal to figure that out very soon so I can start and stitch with you. You have an impressive collection of different kind of designs and fabrics. I adore your fairy bag for bliss fairy 🧚‍♀️ it’s sooo cute. I’m so with you on the stitch what you have started … I have decided that I’m giving each one of my wips a full week each before I start something brand new!

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

Thank you, Samantha! That's a great idea. So they each get some progress! It makes me sad to think of them languishing. Looking forward to your next video...and I might have to break my no new start rules with the new Summer Quaker :p

[@eryns2653]

I can't wait until the snow melts and it gets warm enough to garden. Love your piddily starts. I have a bunch of the same pattern starts or just have the patterns (not yet kitted up).

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

Sounds like we have similar tastes! Hopefully next time those piddily starts will have some growth! I am right there with you though...can't wait for the Spring thaw!

[@karinmonnich3310]

Love your finish and your progress on your wips. We have a lot of snow here in Canada. Happy stitching!

[@PegC52]

Nice to meet you and I feel your pain mixed with lots of joy. When I lived in England I spent many years renovating a Georgian home built in 1735. Worth every minute so I wish you the best of luck. Also - I'm doing the same TW 12 days of Christmas. It's my oldest WIP. Stitching over 1 on 32 count with all designs on the same piece of fabric. Have all borders done and have finally decided to pull it out and give it my attention this year. Love this pattern. I have the BB Christmas Garden pattern and would love to do it in those silks, thank you!

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

oh my goodness I bet the home was so stunning. I'm so glad I have a stitching friend with TW 12 days of Christmas! It makes my brain work hard so I need someone to commiserate with!

[@joycewells4115]

I started Lavender and Lace Celtic Noel years ago and laid it aside to stitch other projects. But seeing you pull it out has motivated me to get it back out and finish it. I'm about 3/4 finished. I love Mirabelias..need to try one of the many gorgeous patterns. Wish we could get a little SNOW but not nuch chance living in Louisiana..would love to see a home tour of your historic home.

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

I'm glad I could inspire a return to Lavender and Lace. They are so beautiful! Oh I envy you being in Louisiana! I miss the warmth of Georgia

[@helenadrummond7519]

First time viewer, new subscriber. I live on the west coast of Sweden. Spring is unfortunately put on hold due to a deep layer of SNOW. I just hope that all spring flowers and the buds on all the trees will survive….

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

It's nice to "meet" you Helena! Oh Sweden is on my bucket list to visit. I bet it is stunning in the Spring!

[@knitterfromnorway]

Thanks so much for your happy flosstubes. It looks like you have found a lovely home. I have to admit that I'm avoiding the garden right now because it's uber allergy season!

[@dianapratt9708]

I’ve been wanting to start “Christmas Garden”. It would be lovely to do it in silks!

What a great video!!! Congrats on the new home!! I love how your husband loves your cross stitching!! It's adorable to hear you say 'my husband loves this!' - I'd love to share your oriental book and all the other yummy things!! Xmas Garden has been on my wish list for months. Snow Maiden would be a special stitch, as well. - You'll do really well & be a huge hit at the Nephrology event, I'm sure!

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

Thank you! you have such kind words and made my day! I have to agree, I have a pretty special husband :) I can't blame you for having such a beautiful BB design on your wish list!

[@wendyeastman7550]

Wow. Sarah! How to decide??? You have too too many gorgeous patterns!!! I wish we were geographically close….we have the same tastes, I think. (My Celtic Christmas Noel is done & proudly displayed!) Also I LOVE doing house renovations and demolitions, please do a house tour when it’s completed! And please show us your puppies too… You are very generous with your give aways & would love❤to do either the oriental or the SNOW maiden.

[@StitchWithHoops]

Congratulations on the purchase of your new home! All of your WIPS are beautiful. Thanks for the tip on how you’re beading Snow Maiden as you go. I wouldn’t have thought to use smaller Qsnap thingys to attach the fabric. I also stitch in a Qsnap and have always wondered how to handle the beading on my Noras and Miras once I get to that point.

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

When the Needleberry stitcher shared that I was like that's how to do it! I have been nervous about beading at the end with my cream linen. Don't want to get it dirty!

[@Ildi-Stitches]

I loved seeing all your wips, I think I have a few more then you by about 30 or so more. I will be trying to finish as much as I can this year and also next year. Congratulations on your new house , just like you we have bought a new house too and I'm getting ready to pack so not as far as you on the moving stage . Our house is much smaller would have loved an older house as I love anything that is antique and they have so much character. We are also going to be renovating and not sure how that will go but up for a challenge. Once all that is done we will have a garden , and at least we don't have to worry about snow so it shouldn't take so long to do .

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

It sounds fantastic and I hope you can share some of your remodeling in future videos! It was so cute that you shared the bunny stitch I sent! I was thrilled that you love it and are going to finish it! Makes me so happy! I would love to join in on your geisha! I bought fabric for her and just need to get the floss! The book is fantastic! I too have Autumn Quakers but am thinking of restarting it on another fabric! I am using a 28 count Witchelt fabric but it’s a bit thin! Still pondering what I want to do! I also want to start a Nora Corbett called Lilac for a spring stitch! I am working on many wips and am trying not to start more, but it’s difficult as I want to stitch all the things! Anyway, thanks for sharing! Will look forward to all the wonderful progress you will make in the coming months! Enjoy every moment! Take care!

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

I just discovered your channel. You have so many beautiful WIPS. Thanks for sharing. Love the Christmas Garden. The Mirabilia Christmas In London is one of my favorites, I’m hoping to start that one soon as well. Have you had much snow this winter?

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

Thank you! I love Christmas in London...it's so elegant! Oh goodness so much...we're getting another 12 inches today.

Where in NH do you live? I used to live in Hampstead! Pandemic Sampler makes me think of Grandma Moses style! Love it!

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

It is like Grandma Moses! That's a great comparison! I'm up in Lebanon! Maybe 90 minutes from Hampstead??

Are you going to do a tour of your house? Has the outside been renovated? Pictures would be deeply appreciated. Once your husband sees Stitching around the house, maybe he will appreciate your stitching hours more.

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

Yes! I've filmed the exterior this week to show all the work it needs (and the snow). Ooh wouldn't it be lovely once he sees pieces framed!

Welcome back. Did you say haunted bathroom? I worked in two different places with haunted bathrooms. I still have nightmares about one of them. I also used Markup R XP. I can’t go back to paper. You’re so busy you must have to do cross stitch in your sleep. Garden and Snow please.

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

Ahh really! That sounds spooky! Luckily ours isn't really haunted....only so spooky looking that I'm glad to have torn up the ceilings.

@@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499 Glad is isn’t really haunted. How old is you house?👻

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

@@sharons1198 The house was built in 1791... I didn't really consider the date until it hit me its 232 years old! I'm really glad its not haunted either! I'd love to hear your stories about the bathroom though!

@@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499 Briefly, one was an old 3 story brick catholic school my company converted to engineering offices. I got the willies the first time I went into the basement where the kids bathrooms were. I used to work alone on weekends (accounting) and the toilets would flush all by themselves. The secretary offices were located in the basement (which were nicely renovated) and several times they’d run upstairs scared. That’s the one I still have nightmares about. The other one was at an elementary school near me where my kids, and now grandkids go to school. I’m retired from there (accounting). One day my granddaughter told me about an experience she and her friend had in their bathroom. Said she thought it was haunted. When she graduates the 8th grade this year I’ll tell her it’s haunted be a principal that died there (it was his office prior to renovations). This is well known among the older teaching staff. Sorry you asked?

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

@@sharons1198 Oh my goodness that catholic school bathroom sounds terrifying! I'd be running up the stairs too! Hmmm yes, I could see a principal haunting his old place of work! Though I have to admit I would never want to haunt my workplace....spend too much time there already :/ Eep thanks for sharing!!!!

If you want fuller coverage without increasing your ply, just loosen your stitches.

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

Ooh thanks for the great advice!!

[@angiefittro8372]

Maybe, if you shine a light toward you and your piece, then the video would not have such shadow.

[@ladyluganasarahvanwey3499]

Thank you for the advice! I"ll do that next time!
