Flosstube #8

I'm finally taking a day to catch up with my stitchy friends and it was so nice to see you again! Your new camera and lighting is great! I know what you mean about School of Magical Stitches. It's so tempting to join in the fun, but I knew from the beginning that I wasn't going to have the mental capacity or the time to devote to doing homework. Instead I enjoy it vicariously through Anne's flosstube, Fiber Floss and Fiction! You have some great finishes! I think I saw them on IG already but Welcome is always nice to see, and I think your fabric and pom pom trim for Weenies is so adorable! Great pairing. Love that you made your Needleworker house red to match your house. Love the colors in your shawl! Sometimes you just have to do a little crazy and see where it takes you, like taking a second job to use your valuable skills and add to your experience. I am hoping for you that your extra job is fulfilling and not draining. And I used to work 4 tens - it was my favorite!! Take care!

🤗. So good to see you Katrina! Sometimes we have to step back and see what is taking our joy away and remove those things from our lives., or rearrange things to suit our needs. Congratulations on meeting your goal in walking and doing well in your weight loss. You are looking good and your hair is cute! As always thank you for the book recommendations! Also enjoyed seeing all your crafting projects, I especially like that shawl! Keep up the good thoughts and remember don’t let anything take your joy!

Thanks Carlene! I had her cut my hair a little different this last time. At first I wasn't sure about it, but it has grown on me, and it's pretty easy to do in the morning which is a real plus! Thanks for stopping by! ~Katrina

I enjoyed watching your video today. Your wips are so pretty. I really love the one you're doing for your best friend, it's very sweet. Your book reviews were interesting ..I'm always looking out for new reading ideas.

Hey Katrina! You sound like you've been busy, and will continue to be busy! I'm able to keep the hw straight because I'm not nearly as busy as you! 😊 I like the blue frame for the Eat sleep craft piece. If the paper crafting causes you stress, then best to let it go. Take it easy (if you can!)

I once had a co-worker tell me they didn't think they wanted to retire because they didn't know what they would do with all that spare time ... I am pretty sure I won't have that problem (although it's still a long ways off, LOL). So glad you stopped by for a visit. I really enjoy seeing your updates. It's fun to see all that you have accomplished! I think it probably is time to let the paper crafting go ... I just feel kinda guilty knowing how much money I've spent on all those stamps over the years. I need to look into selling them on eBay. Have a great week! ~Katrina

[@msufly]

@@TheCraftyCataloger Yup, I think selling them on ebay or in a FB group for selling papercrafting would be your best bet. Our lives and tastes change, don't sweat it! If you're like me, you'll always find something to do! Who needs to retire if you're enjoying what you're doing?! Glad you like my videos - I enjoy making them, although no one locally knows I do because they're not stitchers and they'd probably think I'm weird! 😄
