Flosstube #7 - Happy New Year.

[@staceysago4476]

Happy new year from Texas. The Bookshelf is amazing. I’ve had that pattern for a long time and seeing yours is telling me I should stitch it. You are a beautiful stitcher and I do so enjoy you floss tubes. Wishing you good cheer all through 2025!

Great finish Ally. Start the year off right👍. When i first came to Norfolk twelve years ago i joined local WI. Sadly it closed a while later. Its such a shame there are so many people stuck at home, many lonely😢. Malta is the only place i would love to visit. My partners( safly paased in October) father was stationed there for a few years training their troops and Queen Elizabeth visit them. Have a good fortnight. Stay safe🤗

@@mrsmiggins6435 hello lovely. I am so sorry to hear your sad news. I am so sorry for your loss. I adore Malta. I call it my spiritual home and always feel so relaxed and at peace there xx

Happy New Year from across the pond, Ms. Ally. Well done on finishing "The Bookshelf." I am a HUGE fan of all the literature titles/authors it mentions. Here in the States our weather is like a daily rollercoaster; 20 degrees (F) this morning... and tomorrow forecasted to be a mere 2 degrees! Glad to hear that you're exploring the WI; it sounds like such a lovely community collaboration. Thanks for a tour around the infamous bead box... the mind boggles at all of the cool, interesting little crafting goodies that share your space. Wishing you continued good health--and the kitties too--into 2025 and beyond. Take care, from the Midwest, US. :)

@@B41988 thank you so much Elise. Like you I am a lover of the classics that are mentioned on this project and really need to read more of them. My bead boxes are my guilty little pleasure in fact I am sure I may have to buy another very soon. Stay safe ❤

I was just thinking about you this afternoon Ally. I checked flosstube and there you were. I enjoy spending an hour with you when you post.😊 Your mermaid is so very close to a finish! I am cheering you on with it. It is fun to see and hear your plans. This year I will be joining you for Roll The Dice. I have already made my list. Have a great couple of weeks and stay warm!

[@allycampbell8243]

@@jeanakimball5691 so glad to hear you will be joining in on Roll the Dice this year. I need to tweak my list as I now have a space 😉

Well done finishing The Bookshelf it's great. I love the Bluetit bookmark chart and can't wait to see it made up. Whilst watching this I was having a rummage through my 3 drawers of very neglected x stitch and maybe I will have ago at something this year. I find it harder now as I can't see it very well but I maybe getting a new magnifying lamp. Out side our house is still like a skating rink despite the that.

@@wendyourway go for it Wendy! I wouldn't be able to manage without my glasses and magnifiers. Those clip on magnifiers have been a game changer for me and I definitely feel like I am stitching faster. We really ought to get that long talked about get together organised once the weather is better ❤❤

Congrats on your lovely finish! 🎉 I love your blue tit book mark, I stitched some going back a good few yrs and sold to raise a few £££ for our local animal sanctuary, still have a few I need to fully finish.must make a point of it. I enjoyed your update as always, I hope you enjoy the WI , I remember that drama ‘jam and Jerusalem’ I enjoyed watching it back in the noughties! I don’t think we have that here in Northern Ireland. Your projects are all lovely and I’m looking forward to seeing your next video. Have a nice week xx

@@sharonmarie66 hi Sharon. . I think those bluetits are a hit and I've not even started them yet lol. Bookmarks always go down well don't they. I got quite a few orders when I did them for mums church fête. Makes me wonder if they are still in use 🤔. I will keep you posted on the WI xx

[@sharonmarie66]

@ I’m sure they are still in use , I have non stitched bookmarks that I’ve been using for years. But then,minute parting with things 🙂
