Fantastic update! Everything is gorgeous like always and so many varied projects that you whip through! My favorite is “lost no more”. I need to find that kit, because I love it and Greg Oleson is one of my favorite artists. Have a great week and thanks for sharing with us!
Hi Vonna!!! It is my favorite project right now, always brings me peace to work on it. So nice to hear from you :)
Wonderful video. I love seeing all of your projects. Happy Stitching!
Thank You!
Thanks for sharing....your wall looks amazing...thanks so much for taking the time and showing us...take care and be safe
Thank You Nannett!!
Owl forest piece is beautiful. Such lovely progress on your pieces. Blessings
Thank You!
Thank you for your awesome video and visit...due to a grumpy gallbladder I have been out of commission for the last 7 months...I will catch-up as I can...you have so many wonderful projects and finishes...your Winter wall is amazing...I enjoy all of of your whips...wishing you joy and happy stitching❤️
Hi Loretta!! So sorry to hear you have been out of action for 7 months!!! My goodness, that is a pretty grumpy gallbladder! I hope you are feeling better, and continue to feel better :)
Yes 7 months was bad but along with the gallbladder, my acid repair of the stomach and esophagus also developed hernias and slipped about the same time...testing went on 3 months because they wanted to do surgery on both at the same time...it was difficult for me to know what pain was what...enjoyed all you videos while this was going on❣️
The whale cross stitch is Beautiful!
First time viewer & subscriber . Love seeing your wips & patterns . Absolutely lovely . ✌️💕
Thank You Kitty!!
🤗Good to see you Brenda and what you have been up to! Take care.
Hi Carlene! Always nice to hear from you :)
I recently got 🙏🏻 in trying a full coverage piece but didn't like many of the patterns that I was finding. Then you showed the four seasons and I said, that's it! Thanks! I really love seeing all of your WIPs and finishes. Also, I love my Elan lap stand - purchased based on watching you use yours. So thanks twice. 🙏🏻😁
You are very welcome :) And I am glad you are enjoying the Elan, I really love mine :)
That was a picture of teh Rijksmuseum, I think. The kit looks amazing and your blue book is just gorgeous!
Thank You!!! I love knowing the background of things :)
Your WIPs and finishes are what keep me stitching👍Keep up the excellent work! Thanks for taking the time to include us in your journey!
Thank You!!
Love your finish. I also have the kit from Owl Embroidery, but I haven't started it yet. Love all your wips. They are gorgeous. Happy stitching!
Thank You Karin! It was a lot of fun to stitch :)
I have not stitched in quite some time and was surprised that my wip floss for my project was so disheveled. Im so happy that you made this
Wonderfully well thought out video. I am going to put together my floss bags in a container with cardboard separators and lining such as you’ve shown. I had previously did that in a clear box but of course they totally tumbled every time I searched out for colors so I gave up. I’m sure your organization skills encourage others to rethink their space.
BTW the camera loves you.
Now I’m going to look for your stitching stand know-how video.
Thank You Lynn! Such kind words :) I'm so glad it was helpful :)
I loved looking at all your stitching pieces on the wall - they are beautiful !! Thank you for your company today !!
Thank You CoCo :)
No walter.....have good week... your calendar is back did school close again....glad to have a visit see you soon
Hi Jamie!! Forgot to mention Walter!!!! LOL No, our school has been in session since August, with no closures. But when I moved offices 2 years ago, I didn't have the space and had to bring the calendar home. You have a good week as well! :)
So good to see you again, Brenda together with all your beautiful pieces. I love them all and it’s difficult to pick out a favourite.
Thank You Lynette! I always love hearing from you :)
I love all your works in progress! Beautiful!! You have a lot of large pieces going. Enjoyed hearing about the canal houses. Very interesting. Great video. Thank you.
Thank You Pam!!
Thanks for sharing all your beautiful pieces. And thank you for sharing all the information on the Kingdom of Books. I have that pattern and that is so cool to know! I hope I get to start it soon. Love seeing your progress.
Hello! Kingdom of Books is such a fun pattern, I am glad to hear from somebody else who thinks so too! :)
Brenda, your work is beautiful! Thanks for all the t
Oops! Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your videos!
Thank You Marylou!
It was so good to see you. Thank you for the video ... it was great seeing your progress. Have a great week and stay warm

So glad to see you again. Loved seeing all your progress. Congratulations on your finish on the whale. It's beautiful. Hope you are doing well.
Thank You Sarah!!
Thank you for a lovely Floss tube. I admire your wonderful work. So glad I found your channel.
Thank You Susan!
I love your videos Brenda! I’m a one handed stitcher too. I especially love the English Garden Cottage. Your stitching is beautiful! Looking forward to your next video!
Thank You Katie!! So happy to meet another one-handed stitcher :)
Oh my gosh, English cottage and evening in the park are stunning!!
Thank You Katherine!
wins! Is always wonderful to see the variety of subjects, flosses, and different fabrics you use. You have wonderfully diverse subjevt matter.
Thank You!!
I admire your work. Your finished pieces are beautiful. If I get one kit done a year I think I'm doing good. I am blown away but how many you have completed. All are beautiful!
Thank You Donna!!
Hi Brenda, great to see another video from you. I'm saving it for when I finish work! Hope you and your loved ones are all safe and well. Best wishes from Spain 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸❤️
HI Gloria! I love coming home from work, kicking off my shoes and turning on Flosstube :)
Such beautiful things on your wall! I love the progress on your wips. Pandemic and Kringle look fantastic....well, everything does! Happy stitching.
Thank You Judy!
I find your voice so soothing to listen to. Thank you for your videos.
Thank You Kim :)
Love your colors on Pandemic. Kringles is coming along beautifully and the books will be fantastic. You have a lot of great projects.
Thank You Karen!
Good to see you again Brenda. Great stitches. Don't leave it too long til we next see you. It's not long til March, right spring sunshine🌞. Take care🤗
Thank You Angela! I am counting the days!!!!!
Lovely visiting with you today
Thank You Mel!!! I am enjoying your summer pictures :)
Your projects are so beautiful. The Band of Roses is spectacular. Thanks for sharing your needlework!
Thank You Molly! I love working on that pattern :)
Love your new wall set up. Your R Kade is stunning - you have such a great eye for colour. Glad to see you back!
Thank You Tess!
Thank you Brenda, for your update. I use these bobbins' for kumihimo braiding. Your stitching as always looks beautiful. I have lost my stitchy bug at the moment (so tired after teaching on line) but I am hoping it will come back soon. i have decided to do a small cross stitch in the evenings so that my larger pieces that are on scroll rods seem less daunting and can be left to the weekend when I have time to set up my stand for them. Fingers crossed. Stay safe and well lovely.
Hi Carol! Ahhhh, Kumihimo!! That was the word I couldn't think of! Thank You :) I have seen people doing it, it is a beautiful craft. So sorry online teaching is taking all your energy, but I sooo understand. What a crazy year. I hope things calm down for you eventually and you can spend some more calm time with your hobby. I have a few projects I can only work on, on Saturdays, as well. For the same reason :) And because I need daytime brain, not night-time after a long day at the school brain.
So many beautiful projects, Brenda! Love the tour of the new wall. Those bobbins are used in a craft called Kumihimo. I’ve made a few bracelets using that method of weaving. It’s fun! Have a great week!
Thank You Kay! Kumihimo!!!!! That was the word I couldn't think of! Thank You :) It is a beautiful craft :)
Hi Brenda! So happy to see another video from you. 😊
Thank You Betsy :)
Lost No More is beautiful. All of your stitching is beautiful. I loved everything. You are amazing. Thank you for sharing.🧵🪡💕
Thank You Candi! I think that one is especially beautiful as well, it always brings me peace to work on it :)
It’s so good to see you friend! I enjoyed watching tonight. Wow, your wips are truly incredible. What great progress! I also ordered Band of Roses about a week ago along with their newest that just came out. Take care and see you next video ❤️
Hi Stacy!! Band of Roses is a lovely pattern, so glad you picked it up!! I will have to go see their newest one :)
The Lost No More is gorgeous...who knew a Dimensions kit would look that amazing. Beautiful work.
Thank You Becky! It is a gorgeous pattern :)
Thank you for sharing how you use your lap stand. My husband ordered me one on Valentines. I can’t wait to use it.
Love the updated wall and all your WIPs
I finished “Stand ye in Holy Places” about two years ago and I’m just trying to figure out how to finish it. I love that you did it on perforated paper.
What a great valentines present, and how exciting!! Stand Ye is such a lovely design, it will be gorgeous no matter how you finish it :)
I really enjoyed seeing your progress on your WIPS. The whale turned out lovely. I’d like to do that piece someday. Have a wonderful couple of weeks.
Thank You Jackie! He was fun to stitch :)
Good to see you today- I was missing you and your beautiful stitching 😊. Hope you are warm and safe. Happy stitching ❤️
Hi Cynthia!! I am so glad you are feeling better :) You were in my thoughts and prayers
Handworkmaniac thanks so much ❤️🙏
Just ordered one of the bobbins !!!!! so cute!
i want to be as organized as you HELP ME!!!!!!
Hi Jessa! laughing, you can do it :)
Glad your back! Enjoyed all your wips. Don’t know how you do so many full coverage pieces and keep track of all the thread colors!
Thank You Diane! They do keep me on my toes, lol.
Brenda!!! So happy to see you!!!Amazing work as usual. I’m partial to Kingdom of books, but I haven’t splurged on it yet. Kringles is looking amazing!!!
Thank You Jennifer! I think it is always good to have things on your wish list, then you have something to look forward to buying :)
I just found your videos and am totally smitten. I assume you are in the US. I just love seeing everything that you have stitched or are currently stitching. So much inspiration. I have subscribed and will be waiting for your next video. Robin C in Virginia.
Thank You Robin!
Evening in the Park is stunning! Lovely.❤️
Thank You Allison!
Great to see you back at Flosstube.
Thank You Annette!
Hi Brenda, love the video and all the whips, please tell Hanna I love the idea for the parking bobbins, the magnets will help to keep them stable 😊 I need bobbins for my HAED. Looking forward to your next video, tell the girls hello.
Thank You Joy!! I will pass along your greetings :)
Lovely to see you again. :)
Thank You Sandra :)
Sewing room looking fabulous wish you many happy memories x
Thank You Carole!
I'm working on Pandemic while watching your video, and I'm a little over 20% done! I love the colors you've chosen, mine is in brown with teal/turquoise accents.
Hi Stephanie! So glad to meet another stitcher at 20%, lol! Your color choice is gorgeous!! And it is looking fabulous :)
The blue book oks almost photographic. I’m looking forward to seeing this piece finished.
Hi Katie! I agree! I keep trying to move it around when I look at it, to move the glare/light strip. Then remind myself that the light strip is not going to move, because it is not real!! LOL
I got pink bobbins from Amazon under hair curlers - they had different colours - I love your idea with the magnets on them ❤️
Oh my goodness, thank you for the information! Now Hannah and I will have to try those! LOL
Beautiful Samplers. Enjoyed the video. Thank You for sharing.
Thank You :)
Beautiful stitching!
Thank You Teal!
Love your long dog too! The colors are awesome!💕
Thank You Stef! I really enjoy stitching on my Long Dog projects :)
Enjoyed seeing your wips. See you next time. God bless you
Thank You Glo!
Lovely to see you Brenda, missed ya! 😊
Thank You Janette!
Whenever you show charted single thread color projects like the long dog samplers and then show your wip, i get so mesmerized by your brilliant color choices! Your wip looks like something i would want to stitch but the charts look so boring when I’m looking to buy! Hahaha.
Thank You! I have a hard time seeing past colors I don't like, when looking at patterns. And changing lots of colors in a pattern is overwhelming to me. But for some reason on the monochromatic patterns, my brain just starts coming up with color possibilities, lol. And then I have to try it!!
awesome, loving all your projects
Thank You!!
Loved the parking bobbins, ordered 2
Hi Elaine! I am glad I am not the only one who thought they were a good idea :)
Brenda! I love the tour de wall of your beautiful needlework! R-Kade, Pandemic, and The New Normal look amazing!!! I would love that bubble of cats 🐈 🐈⬛ 🐱. I have 2 Long Dogs going currently: Death by Cross Stitch and Opus I. Take care!
Hi Jenny!!! I have Hoity Toity as well, lol, but haven't worked on it recently. Ohhhh, I bet your two are looking just gorgeous!!! I am missing your videos :) Of course, I am one to talk, lol!!
Wow you have been busy! Love the whale on that fabric. I placed an order with Hannah! Talk to you soon!
Hi Sharon!!! I am loving the bobbins and needle minders :) But like I said, I am biased, lol.
Your “wall” is stunning! I always dreamed of doing that English Cottage Teresa Wentzler. Yours is beautiful. Will check out your DILs Etsy shop.
Thank You Bee!! They are a lot of work, but they sure turn out beautiful :)
Your stitching is very nice
The building looks like Amsterdam Central Station or Rijksmuseum. Same style but both dont have a fence so im not 100% sure.
Greetings from Utrecht Netherlands.
We aso have canals in Utrecht but different houses ;-)
I think it might be the Royal Palace- we were there for almost a month and the Royal Palace was next to that central plaza
Thank You!! I think the viewer I was talking to thought it looked like the Amsterdam Central Station, but those all sound like great possibilities!!
Thanks, Brenda!
You are welcome Nan!
The bobbins look like the ones I use in my beadwork called Kumihimo!
Hi Marilyn! That is the word I was looking for!!! Thank You, lol!! I have seen people doing it, it is beautiful :)
I had a hard time finding your DIL's etsy store. I finally searched for parking bobbins and it came up. The store is spelled slightly different 😉 SunshineMamasDesign. I hope I got it right!
Thank You Sonja! Apparently I was in a brain fog yesterday!!
Your projects are absolutely gorgeous.
Thank You Suzanne!
Can you show how you do a cross stitch on high count linen, especially a sampler, how do you count such a small stitch when they are spaced apart. Also, I really enjoy your videos.
Hello! You just have to count really carefully, and strong reading glasses or a magnifier really help as well. Some people use counting pins when counting long distances. You stick a pin in every 5 or 10 stitches to keep track of the number. I find myself kind of dragging my needle across the fabric as I count, and sticking it down in as I count each stitch. Dragging it, kind of helps me "feel" as well as "see" the threads as I count them.
Always a pleasure to see the progress on your stitches! Lost No More is so very peaceful. Love that one the best! Wouldn't it be nice to have that one completed by Easter (2021)? ;-)
Thank You! Laughing, yes wouldn't that be lovely. . . . .LOL!!! I am thinking it will make a leisurely journey to maybe Easter of 2022, giggle.
Thank you for helping me understand 🙂 I am using 14 count so I do not know if I should leave the words off of the pattern.
Hi Susan! I think it would look fine either way, or you could try a little bit, and if you don't like it just rip it out and don't put the words on. I don't think I am going to put the words on mine either, just because I am not sure I like them :)
Beautiful projects...and enabling! Can one have too many Long Dog's going?? I currently have 3, but everytime you show "The New Normal", I want to start that as well! And...the Sulky threads! I'm working on Krozwyrd using them, and want to start Pandemic over using them! Thank you for enabling me in those threads! Blessings from MN...
Hello! No, I don't think you can have too many, lol!! I have another one started, Hoity Toity, but haven't worked on it recently. I was not going to start the New Normal either, and then I hit a day where I just had to, lol. So glad you are enjoying the Sulky, I love how easy they are to stitch with. The Krozwyrd pattern is so fun, I bet yours is lovely :)
Well OF COURSE I ran right over to see Hannah’s shop!!! I purchased a sheep and a fish needleminder. What adorable pieces she has!!❤️ Love your finished whale!!!! He is too cute! Beautiful wips and thank you for wall tour ❤️ Hugs!!!
Thank You Mely! I am glad I am not the only one who thought the bobbins were a great idea, and cute!
Love the parking bobbin idea. I will check out her Etsy store. I’m planning to start Disneyland Map in March (finally!) so excited. Love your WIPs
Thank You!! I am glad I am not the only one who thought they were a good idea :) So excited for your Disneyland start, I really enjoy stitching on mine :)
@@Handworkmaniac I think I have the 100 color version though 😂🤪🤦♀️
@@CadesCrafts It will be gorgeous though!!
Yes, please Brenda come back sooner!!! Love, love seeing all your WIPs. Seeing all your Long Dog Sampler pieces, I remember you have the Hoity-toity. Did you show that to us a a new start before or was it a Haul?
Thank You Aubrey :) Yes, I started Hoity Toity last April and have stitched on it a little bit. I need to pull it out and get some work done on it! LOL I also have Day and Night started, but haven't worked on that one recently either :)
Beautiful job 😍
Thank You Verynka :)
Wow wonderful work darling 😍😍😍
I also find it interesting to know how many days a project has been worked on. I’ve started tracking my days on a calendar (it has a tracker that things are listed and it has boxes to check). I’ve finally gotten my order placed for the Elan. It’s taken me a year to decide to push the button. 🤦🏻♀️🥴
Hi Jo! Glad I am not the only one who thought that was interesting, lol. Your system sounds like a great way to do it as well :) Yay! I hope you enjoy your Elan as much as I love mine :)
You have such a variety in the styles of your WIPS. Do you choose because you like the colors? Style? Era? How do you choose your projects?
I choose the ones I like, and I tend to notice beautiful color combinations first. But I really just pick ones that I think are beautiful.
Beautiful work!
Barbara PA
Thank You Barbara!
@@Handworkmaniac Thank you !
I see all those wips!
LOL, there are a lot!
I CAN'T imagine doing a Teresa Wentzler! All are beautiful!
Thank You Pam!
I’ve finished 3, almost done another and have 2 more in the works.
Most of them are really not that difficult. Just a slightly different mindset.
Lost no more is beautiful.
Thank You Katherine :) It is one of my favorite projects :)
I feel welcome, always!
(Tv watcher, dont comment much)
Thank You :) I watch Flosstube on TV as well, and rarely take the time to comment. I sooo get it, lol.
Bobbins like that have been used in knitting when doing intarsia (designs in the fabric). I did not know they were also used in Japanese weaving. How interesting. Crafts borrowing from each other. 🥰
Hi Kim!!! Oh wow, they would work well for that!! I will have to remember that! LOL Yes, so fun to see tools being used across several crafts :)
Yay! You came back. I've been thinking about you a lot and wondering how you were doing with you stitching shelf after you were saying about upping the number of stitched squares you were going to be doing. If you are moving down to below yours, either the stitch count of your fabric is different than mine or I'm viewing it funny on my computer because yours seems smaller than mine. I'm nearly done with my page below mine in the summer section, still no ladies, rats. The width of my area cuts off just before I get to them but I'm looking ahead and I might get to do one in the next couple of pages or so. lol. I have my Celtic Christmas lady on though and working down the beaded designs now before I roll. Hubby made me longer bars so I might be able to actually leave her without rolling soon. We'll see if it works. When I get this last little bit of my current page done, I will update you with a picture and let you see my progress. It looks like I will be heading into some hot pinks and oranges by the Spanish fan....Glad you have made so much progress and I'm so impressed with your Netherlands books. So nice to actually see the words so very clearly after all this bleary stuff the HAED has going on it. It was a thrill to see that coming along and your wall is so impressive. You have been really busy and prolific over the years. Wow!!! Way to go Brenda. I'm checking into those bobbins so thanks for sharing!
Hi Lilia!!! I can't believe you haven't run into a lady yet!!! LOL I agree, rats! Mine is on 25 ct fabric, 1 over 1, so it could be a smaller count. And the page underneath that I started on will only got a little bit into the summer section. But hey, some nice green colors will be a nice change. I bet your Celtic Lady is just stunning :)
@@Handworkmaniac Sent you an email so you can see them both. Check it out!
Great to see you again, love all your projects and beautiful stitching. Especially love the detail in the book piece. The fabric holders you have on this piece keep everything so neat, can I ask where you got these? Happy stitching!
Hi Susan! I am thinking you mean magnetic cable ties? I bought mine on Amazon. I like the "strong" ones because they hold better. You can search for "magnetic cable ties strong". Or, this is the one I bought: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P1XS4PX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@Handworkmaniac Hi Brenda, sorry for my late acknowledgement. Thank you so much for your reply and for the link it is very much appreciated. Happy stitching 😊
Hi Brenda! Glad to be able to see you and all your progress again! You inspired me to start the Disneyland map, with 115 colors. I am almost finished with the bottom row-working right to left, I’m at the Jungle Cruise. I’ll post a picture for you later this week on IG- I’m new there at mostly_monogamous_stitcher. Take care!
Hi Emily!! Wow, you are flying on that map!! So fun to hear you say you are at the "Jungle Cruise", lol. I am missing Disneyland so much :) I'll watch for an update picture on IG!!
Just ordered few things from your daughter in law shop.so cute! Nuts ordered too fast and didn’t get discount ..oh well stopped your video too soon .love your new wall!
Thank You Kathie! I'm so sorry I didn't mention the coupon code earlier, lol!! I know she appreciates your purchase :)
@@Handworkmaniac oh no..my fault.I never let you finish..I just paused you and went to Etsy. We need to support family.my daughter has an etsy shop..in Texas..now with no heat and no water..things getting even tougher in so many places .we don’t know what the near future will bring.love your videos been watching for a year now..because of you I use mostly sulky and am doing pandemic !
@@kathiep.7734 Oh dear, I hope things get better for your daughter!!
Good work darling 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank You!
Thank you so much for your video! I truly admire your parked threads on the full coverage patterns. Wow! May I ask you if it was on your channel that I saw a book entitled The Best of Renato Parolin?
Hi Lise! No, it was not my channel, sorry! :)
@@Handworkmaniac Ok, thanks so much!
I'm surprised at how small the swan Chatelaine looks, especially next to the Cottage Garden Sampler by Teresa Wenzler. What count fabrics did you use for both of these, and what is the final size of each. They both look lovely! As do all of your pieces you have on display.
Thank You Elaine! I think one of the reasons the Cottage Garden looks bigger is that it has a margin around the stitching, and then the added width and heavy "feel" of the frame. The swan one (Evening in the park) just has the edges folded under, pretty close to the stitching. Cottage Garden is on the called for count of 28 ct and is 300 x 200 stitches. Evening in the Park is on the called for count of 32 ct, and is 279 x 279 stitches.
I love your wall. So many beautiful blues! 😍 What is the backing so you can pin everything up? Or do you pin directly into the drywall?
Thank You :) I use non-rusting straight pins, and just stick them right into the drywall, lol. With a small hammer. My husband is working on hanging a large piece of foam insulation on that wall, and I will cover it with fabric, so I can more easily put things up and take them down. Like a large bulletin board.
Thank you for your videos .I see you have a velky potoky lap stand wondering how you like it .? I was thinking of buying one.
Hi Josie! I really like the Potoky stand, it is very nicely made. I talk more about it in video #70 if you want to hear more about my experience with it. If I am at home I usually use my Elan stand, as it is a little more stable on my lap, and I am so used to it. But I think I will start taking the Potoky stand with me when I am stitching away from home, as it is smaller, and will be much easier to pack around :) Although I have packed the Elan around with me for many years as well, lol.
I've been watching ur videos and I've enjoyed them . But oh have heard everyone has a twin. I do believe I've worked with yours.lol. when I lived in Htgn, WV. Just wanted u to know that?? I 😍your crafting room.....
Thank You Theresa! Isn't that crazy when you meet someone that could be a twin of someone else!! One of life's great mysteries :) That has happened to me multiple times. So happy to find out where my twin is!! LOL
Wondered what happened to you. Your wall is beautiful!
Thank You Cameron!
