    Marlene, I love that you started these videos for your children, and I’m so very glad you choose to share them with us, too! ❤️ I really am SO glad you’re here, and you make my heart happy every time I see you pop up in my UA-cam feed. You are a lovely, kind, and generous soul, and you always inspire me with your words, not just about stitching but also about life in general. I’ll sit still for your little sermons any day! I was just telling my mom yesterday that you’re the one who first inspired me to do UA-cam Premium, and now there’s no going back! Lol. I am about to finish my 29th year teaching, and I have the greatest respect and appreciation for GOOD principals. They are not always easy to come by, and they make all the difference in the world for students and teachers. I’m sure that you were a GREAT one, and I know your influence continues to have a wonderful ripple effect in the lives of so many others who were lucky enough to share a school building with you. Luckily for the rest of us, your UA-cam videos ripple out into the world and touch the lives of more people than you know. Thanks for being courageous enough to do UA-cam, and thanks for letting the light of the Lord shine through you. It . . . and YOU . . . are a great blessing to us all. I’m so glad to hear that Jerry is doing well, and I will be praying that your hip and leg are much better soon. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

    I’ve enjoyed your videos way before I started stitching. I started at 71, and now I’m 72. My pastimes were quilting and knitting but became fascinated with needlework. I had bought an old Scottish cross stitch at an auction in the 80’s while living in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It was stitched by an 11 year old girl in 1819. After all these years, I remained interested in taking up cross stitch and now have joined all you girls, enjoying every minute.

    This is the first time I’ve seen your Flosstube channel, and I’m so glad to have come across it. I only recently picked up cross stitching again, and Flosstube was something I wasn’t aware existed. I’ve enjoyed watching so many stitchers in this little corner of the world. I’m especially glad that I stuck around for your “sermon” at the end. Nice surely does matter, and folks just need to make it a habit. It gets easier with practice and keeps one out of that vortex of becoming a “crabby appleton.” I’ll be looking forward to our next visit. In the meantime, I pray your hip will settle down and you’ll get some relief. God’s blessings to you!

    Hi Marlene, your reason for starting flosstube videos is so wonderful and will be treasured by your family for generations. I have been watching your videos for years and love every one. I think we are all members of SABLE (Stash Accumulation Beyond Life Expectancy) and flosstube videos are excellent enabling tools. Many times, I have to stop right in the middle of a video and put something in my cart so I don't forget! lol I just found out about a cookbook this year and sadly realize I have missed several years. I love looking through cookbooks and recipes from stitchers will be fantastic! I'm so glad that Jerry is getting better and I pray for your back and hip. 1 4 5 10

    Hello Marlene! Thank you for sharing. I think Marlene's Sermon should be a regular feature. I enjoyed listening to you as I finished school work and then did some stitching. I never thought about the fact that one day my children (and hopefully grandchildren) will be able to watch visit with me. What a gift you are giving your children. 1, 4, 5, and 10 are hopefully lucky numbers for me! I can't wait to see what you started stitching on of the seven you picked out. Hugs and love!

    I am so happy Carol Salt Box Stitcher mentioned your channel today on her floss tube. It is refreshing to here from a fellow stitcher of my vintage. I will be doing some binge watching to catch up. I am sorry you are having back and hip issues. I worked several years in an interventional radiology department doing cortisone injections. Consider the fact that it is a non invasive procedure with great technology and can be very helpful in the relief of pain. I hate that you are suffering when there may be help. Getting old is not fun but we could be so much worse off. Thank you for your videos and I loved your sermon. You are so right❣️

I so enjoy all the videos that people work so hard to put on UA-cam for us to watch. What a wonderful thing you have done for your children; what a gift! I love that quilt on the back of your chair so will go back in earlier videos and see if you talk about it. Until our next visit, stay well and prayers for you and Jerry.

I enjoyed seeing all of the charts you shared, especially liked: #1,2,3,5,6,&7. The Christmas items very cute and easy it would appear. I really like doing small and seeing all of the ones you are doing and have done is very encouraging for me to keep doing more of my smalls, thank you.

I don't see wrinkles when I look at you-just another beautiful child of God. If you discover a wrinkle remover that really works, let me know. Haha! My cataracts aren't ready to be removed yet and I have trouble putting my makeup on too. Not going to worry about it, as long as I can see to stitch. ❤ Pam

I also have lots of quilt-type fabric to use for finishing - I would be glad to share with you. I'm hoping you will be able to join us again on the 21st. We have missed you - in person!

    Marlene I have so much to say about this wonderful video. First... I would like to tell you how much your comment on my first flosstube meant to me. You are so right... you never know what such a small thing like "welcome... we're glad you're here" will do to lift someone up! Thank you for all you do to inspire us no matter what the reason is that you are here! Also... I had a similar problem with my back. I blew out a disc and my sciatic nerve was pinched for many months. I suffered through epidurals, physical therapy and ultimately a surgery but still have numbness and pain in my right foot. I find if I just keep myself moving carefully I find relief. I pray your doctors can help you find what is going to help you feel better! As always... your stitching inspires and delights! Blessings to you and yours! 2,5,9

    I’m cheering you on regarding your efforts not to buy stuff. I’ve spent this whole weekend going through my crazy stash. I’ve pulled, purged, and un-kitted. Styles and tastes change and I know I simply won’t outlive my stash. I also have evidence of not going to a retreat where there’s a free-be table in over 3 years. I’m going to one of the Frugal Yankee ones next month and I have about 3 times my usual pile. I also spent hours re-stashing floss. I haven’t even finished putting the DMC on bobbins. Anyhow, I am now obsessed with ONE pattern that I can’t find. I’ve loved it forever and it’s been out and visible for a very long time and now I can’t find it. Every time I see a new hidey-hole I get rejuvenated and end up with more free-table stuff but not the pattern I want. Why does that keep happening? I am so organized in all other areas of my life but not in crafting. Anywho….I also pulled about 20 must starts. Will I start one? Who knows. I am just not a starter, I guess. It was nice visiting with you today. Be well. Pam

    • @MarleneBush
      @MarleneBush  Рік тому

      Pam I have gone through my stuff over and over trying to purge and I just. Can’t. Do. It. I had better luck with the quilting stuff and not so much with cross stitch. I’m 76 for heavens sake and I know my life expectancy! I organize and reorganize and move stuff and then move it back. Craziness! Blessings, Marlene

    Oh Marlene, such a lovely video and great to see you, I was missing your stitching and life updates. I am guilty of not always commenting and you have so I will try to do better. Lots of lovely projects there and I hope you get to do your new starts. Praying your hip improves and glad to hear Jerry is doing so well. Happy stitching.

    Okay, I did stop my stitching to be able to comment. Marlene, I always look forward towards your videos. You are a dear woman of God and so uplifting. Thank you for sharing your passions with the world. I'm glad you shared about your hips because I just started having a little bursitis in my hip. Not alone! I appreciate you.

    • @MarleneBush
      @MarleneBush  Рік тому

      Oh my Cheryl, that bursitis is a devil child! If it’s just starting you might try a regimen of ibuprofen for a few days to try to calm down the inflammation. Sometimes that helps. Blessings, Marlene

    Hey there, I just found you and love that you Love the Lord so much. It is obvious in your voice and the way you speak about church happenings. My husband used to get gout attacks, they are ferocious. I've only had it twice. It is so, so very painful. I pray that your husband will become totally gout free in the near future. It is so hard to see our loved ones suffering from gout.

    I am not just saying this, but I truly love to see your name pop up!!! Jesus shines through. You need to preach that sermon to the world, but I loved, "We do love the people who the things we do." I have no local stitching friends and love to see what others are doing. You took the words right out of my mouth about the sewing room. I just had to clean my up yesterday. I also started making a list of my purchases. How quickly Amazon and stitching purchases add up. I usually let a day or so go by and think it over before I buy now.
    Loved all the eye candy.

    Like you I usually watch videos on TV while stitching. I usually do give a thumbs up, but often don't stop to comment. I'll try to do better about that moving forward because I really do appreciate the many stitchers who take the time to share their love of stitching with all of us. And you're very right that Nice Matters.
