    Another great flosstube video. Really enjoyed as always . Happy stitching 😊❤

    Lots of lovely stitching Zoë. Re waxing thread - I only ever wax thread when I am doing gold work where the couching thread needs to be strong, or the cotton when I am hand-piecing patchwork for the same reason. I have never used wax or any other conditioner on cross stitching threads as I figure it’s strong enough and would dull the finish. So interesting that you use it regularly. I think either way you only need a tiny amount on the thread. Also re the kitchen. I have had this done twice. They won’t turn the water off so you’ll be fine filling kettles etc - workmen never allow a situation where they can’t have tea! Also you just put essentials including microwave etc on a table and eat off paper plates for the week - it’ll be a nuisance but fine. Headphones for the noise though.

      @alisonowen8547 I'm wondering if I've just got into the habit of it after using it so much when hand sewing. I like the smoothness it gives to the thread, it also straightens it after I've had it on a bobbin for so long. Maybe I need to wean myself off of it 😂 Although Karen mentioned that you can tell where you have+haven't used it, so I might have to keep using it on my current projects, and then not use it at all on any new stuff 🤔

    • @alisonowen8547
      @alisonowen8547 День тому

      @ that’s why I don’t do bobbins - too many kinks. But if I do need to tame a thread I just run it through a damp j-cloth - does the trick.

    I think we are all guilty of underestimating how many stitches are needed to complete a motif/area! I can’t get on with Mark up RXP either - think it's user error on my part though! When you come to do the deer, there's a wrong colour in the antlers, so check their website for what the correct colour should be. Good luck with the kitchen refit x

    You asked about thread waxers. Just something to consider. When i used wax it left. Residue on my thread that discolored the thread. So much so that you could see a definite line where i stopped using it. So rather than the wax or thread conditioners it is just as effective to run your thread over a damp sponge. Just something to consider Thank you very much for the shout out❤️❤️. It is much appreciated

    It's so frustrating when chart designers pick poor symbols. Unless the chart is a max colors type chart, it's totally unreasonable to use similar symbols. In charts with 30 or less symbols it's extra frustrating because 26 alphabet letters, 26 capital letters, 10 numbers, plus at least 14 symbols are standard keyboard options. Take out the o, O and 0, l and I and you still get 60+ symbols to pick from before looking for specialized symbols. If a designer needs to use similar symbols, at least make the colors super distinctive...like neon pink vs black or bright blue vs brown. Don't make us struggle between 677 and ecru.

    • @cococreates26
      @cococreates26 3 дні тому

      Exactly! And I forgot to mention, but that chart only has 25 colours. They could have 100% just used the alphabet! 😅 I expect my animal kingdom one, with 237 colours, to have similar symbols, but this one? Definitely not. I'm glad this is the only chart I have that's got a symbol issue!

    I could hardly listen to your horrible hospital visit, as I have been having migraines and headaches for nearly two weeks now. With all sorts of side effects that have me slightly worried. It does not help when people try and tell me it is just hormones and others tell me to go to the ER as I am probably having a stroke. I hope you will get it all sorted out soon and the way that works best for you. sending you a big HUG 🤗🥰

    Wow-that was (and continues to be) quite an ordeal. I have my fingers crossed that you get some answers or plans (and some appointments). I enjoyed your 2025 plans and seeing your wipopoly board as well. Where did you get your template from? I’m tempted to try it 😉

    • @cococreates26
      @cococreates26 22 дні тому

      I found the board online and have edited it using Canva to swap out the street names for my projects. I don't know if I can share it as template though? Will have to look into it! Xx

    Your 2 for 1 worked out a lot better than mine! I had 19 finishes (mostly smalls, a few medium) and 16 starts. 😂 To be fair, I had an unexpected gift stitch requested which took time away from my plans, and company in December which limited my time more. But no starts in March or December! I did get close to a medium finish, but December just wasn't a good month.

    • @cococreates26
      @cococreates26 23 дні тому

      You still finishes more than me! 👏👏👏 Tbh I was very surprised to find I had done that well with mine, as I thought I'd had way less finishes up until I counted! December is a hard month for goals, there's so much happening and you're just trying to cram it all in before the end of the year 😂 Did you manage to get your gift stitch piece finished? ❤ xx

    • @texadianstitcher
      @texadianstitcher 23 дні тому

      @cococreates26 all the gift stitching was finished, and fully finished before the day to gift it arrived! And December is also crazy busy with yardwork here in Texas. The leaves *start* falling around American Thanksgiving (end of November) and finish after Jan 1. 2 trees are holding onto their leaves for dear life still. So 30-50 bags of leaves in addition to holiday stuff. Plus I was cat sitting a temperamental little brat... This year's goals other than 2 gift stitches are nonexistent because we anticipated getting a new kitten...crafts & kittens don't mix well lol. So June & December and whatever else happens happens.

    • @cococreates26
      @cococreates26 23 дні тому

      Glad you got it finished on time! You're much better organised than me - I finished the quilt I made for my nephew at about 11pm Christmas day (ready to gift on Boxing day) 😂 so I really was cutting it fine lol. That's a lot of leaves 😳 There's only a couple of big trees at the bottom of ours, but since they start dropping in September, there's only a few handfuls each week to clear up. Oh no a temperamental kitty! 😂 I bet they're so well behaved usually too! Hopefully your new one will be much better behaved 😻

      Aww thank you! Sometimes it feels like being back at school and you're supposed to be copying something down off the blackboard, but the teacher rubs it out before I've finished writing it down, meanwhile the teacher is already writing up the next thing. And my brain is the teacher 😂
