Here's To A Fresh Start In The New Year! Join Me On Flosstube!

[@EmmyRose22a]

Beautiful finish on Light of Winter. Congrats on meeting your goal. I'm looking forward to hearing how your little stitchy retreat goes. I'm glad your new year stitching plans are working for you so far.

[@lindaskinner5887]

Happy 2024! Hope this year blesses you and your family with good health and prosperity.

[@kathyburch9591]

Great video as always! I know how you feel about watching Lori Holt as I feel that way about all of the Flosstubes I watch including yours!

[@gleehanson4775]

I enjoyed that video! Last year was the first year I kept careful track in a book of days (of my own making). It's so helpful! I recorded in there my wips, starts, finishes, ffos and other sewing and quilting projects. Then at years end, I got all my totals. It's so nice to see in black and white. Oh, and I keep track of what days I stitch. Last year was my first year ever (I've been stitching since the 70s) that I stitched 365 days out of 365 days. Talk about motivation!

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

That is my plan and I can’t wait to see the whole year in my book. I am going to use it to keep track of everything.

[@cindyflinchbaugh7155]

Have a great week. I love your videos for all you inspire us with. Thank you...

[@laurazuniga184]

Beautiful patterns!!! Happy New Year!!!

[@lorieden9774]

Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year!

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

I’m as excited as you are for your mini retreat. I couldn’t think of three people more fun to spend the weekend with. I hope you video tape some of it so we can see the fun you are having. Love your Blessings finish. You did a great job on it. I also loved how you explained your Oops on another project and how you made it work. I just did the same thing with my Hands On Design Tree Lot pattern. I made my Oops work too!😊 Thanks for another fun video.

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

We will be sure to share!

[@figskater3382]

I’ve just found your channel-I live in the greater Lansing area and Chantelle is in Williamson-we have no snow here at all-30 degrees -hope you have fun-my sister is in Florida for 3 months-she lives in northern Michigan 🙂

[@shirleyvanwieren]

I lived in Michigan until seven years ago. Bring a warm jacket, hat and mittens! Winter can be magical so I hope you have a great time. Best case scenario you get fresh snow!

[@cynthialevis2732]

Beautiful work, I m stitching while I’m watching/ listening to your floss tube.

[@susankennedy901]

I love that light too

[@joyceclowser3371]

Light of Winter looks absolutely beautiful! Congratulations on meeting your goal-always a great feeling! Happy stitching!!❤

[@KarenOHeck]

So excited to meet you at Beach Please!

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I can’t wait either 😊

Happy stitching

Safe travels and have fun!

[@susanmetivier3949]

I love your videos you are very inspiring thank you. You said you wanted to use your sprocket (camera) more this year. This is how I use mine. When I’m kitting up a project I take a picture of the chart and I put the picture in a clear name tag holder that I purchase from Amazon then I attach it the zipper on my project bag so that I can tell what is in my project bag. On the trapper keepers that I make from Tiger Lilly pattern I attached it to the zipper on the inside pocket on a small notebook ring so that it’s long enough to flip to the outside of the keeper. When I’m finished with my project I can move the picture to my notebook or project card with all the stitching info. This is just a suggestion of what works for me and thought it might help you or someone else

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I would like to do something like that and to take pictures of my finishes to put in my Book of Days.

[@donnagoss6864]

Have fun in Michigan in January! Can’t wait to meet you in February at the Beach Please Retreat!

Happy New Year Jessica.

[@peggyyoung1839]

Jessica, what a great time you will have with those super ladies. I’m jealous! I so miss going to retreats, but age & health problems prevent me from going on them.

[@Handmadebysarahw]

I was working on Light of Winter as I watched you! Congrats on the beautiful finish!!! I also am stitching dasher and dancer!❤

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I can’t wait to see your Light of Winter.

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I want to make it out there sometime soon 😊

[@MichellePetersen-j7e]

Happy New Year Jessica! Very nice floss tube! Enjoy your girls weekend!😊

[@gingershull2364]

It was fun to see your projects, I stitched Dasher and Dancer last year and absolute loved it! You won’t be able to put it down. Land That I Love was a beast but the finish is worth it! Can’t believe you’re starting for the third time, that’s perseverance! Of course it took perseverance for me to finish!😂😂😂

[@mariannecowley]

New to your channel! Love seeing all you are stitching and hearing your plans for the year!

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

Welcome!

[@MorvantMade]

I love all your projects! Lori Holt definitely makes my to buy list long, but you’re also an enabler 🤪 but we’re here for it 🩷

Happy New Year! Congrats on finishing Light of Winter, it looks beautiful.

[@StichyLins0703]

Oh, and where did you find that adorable snowman that's in your intro video?! Looks like its made with jute or something ...so cute!!

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I think it was from Hobby Lobby a few years ago.

[@kristi.schwisow]

Love your finish.

Happy New Year

[@lillylane8832]

I started Teresa Kogut's Wisdom sampler on New Year's Day and was thinking about breaking it up by pages too. Do you alot a certain time frame to complete a page? This year I am going to try the calendar tracking method as well. I haven't decided what to officially use and have just jotted it down on a regular wall calendar while putting my monthly goals in a bullet journal. I think tracking is great if you're a multi crafter as well. Great video!

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I haven’t decided on a certain time for competing the page but thought once I did that I might put it aside and work on something else. It would make me feel better about moving on to another project. I am also planning to show my book of days and explain more on how I am using it to track my stitching and everything that goes along with it in there. It will be my 1 stop shop for tracking this year.

[@lillylane8832]

@@sweetwaterstitcher I really like that idea of one page then changing it up. I have learned that I need to use calendars as more of a record of what I've done rather than a plan of what to do. Much more positive that way!

[@StichyLins0703]

Do you have a video that shows or tells the instruction for the cover you made for your book of days? I would like to make one for mine this year.

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I used a notebook tutorial and then figured out my own measurements.

[@StichyLins0703]

@@sweetwaterstitcher oh cool, thanks....I wound up doing that myself and I love it!
