Dear Cynthia, I found your Flosstube this morning as I was stitching and just so happy that I did. Your gentle sweet spirit was just what I needed! I loved seeing all your finishes and projects. I love the prim and harvest themes and who doesn't love sunflowers and bees! I really appreciate and relate to your willingness to control purchases and make good use of what you have. Thanks for being so authentic and sharing your challenges. I am retired now but I remember the challenges of my husband and I doing whatever was necessary to take good care of our four kids, our aging parents, work pressures, and spiritual obligations while still having time as a couple. As women, it is important also not to lose our individuality. As one of the leaders in the home we have to have joy, fun, passions to feed our strength. Cross stitch has always been a great way to find beauty and self fulfillment for me. I lost my Mom and Mother in Law within 2 years of each other. they were such important women in my life and such a support to our family. I miss them everyday and find comfort in having had them for so long. Grief is such an individual thing but it must be felt. Just know that it does get better. Keep doing what you are doing. Have a great month and see you next time.
Loved seeing all your beautiful projects. I just picked up two Katherine Center books at the library. I am still waiting for Lincoln Highway to show up on the shelves but I do want to read it and let you know what I thought of it.
I love your finish of the punchneedle chickens on the chicken wire frame! Dealing with grief is tough and all of the other things you've been dealing with don't make it any easier. Just know that the pain will lessen, things will get better, and trust God to get you through the day one moment at a time. Find joy and peace in the beautiful gift of your crafting talent.
Thank you for blessing us today. I have missed your flosstube. I liked all your finishes, but the bees cracked me up...creepy eyes indeed! Maybe you could find some small wooden buttons for the eyes. Cute prim buttons would not be creepy
I was so glad to see that you posted a new video. I'm very sorry about all the sorrows and difficult times you and your family have had. I think your videos are a little bit of grace and kindness that you share with all of us. I love all your little bee and sunflower finishes. I like just the plain chicken wire with the white wall showing through, but that might not look so good if the wall color was different. Praying God sends his healing spirit to calm and sooth you when you need it.
Great to see you & your projects /plans again! My thoughts & prayers are with you as you journey through this time of missing your loved ones. I adore your reminders about giving ourselves grace. Happy stitching & reading❤️🧵🪡📖
I just love your Blooming Hens and the finish. I don't know how to punch needle but I love the look of it. I am sorry you have been experiencing a stitching slump. I was so happy to see you had posted and sharing all your lovely creativity,
All of your pieces are beautiful! I switch out some pieces on a frame that I have with chicken wire. I blue ribbon or strips of fabric to the back and tie them on
Love your needle punch with the roosters. I have quite a nice array of vintage roosters around my kitchen/dining are and love them because they always remind me of my Grammie whom I loved so much and miss to this day; even though she has been gone for 39 yrs now. I spent so much time with her and live on what used to be her and Grampa's cow pasture. God bless and wishing you well. I too, understand how depression can be so overwhelming. I have lived it and currently am struggling also because of Covid and all the bad things happening in this country. Happy Stitching!!
It was so good to spend some time with you via video today. I am glad that you are finding your way and giving yourself the Grace to do that. Just know that you are thought of often and lifted up in prayer. We all experience “valleys” at times in our lives but, even knowing that, it is not easy. The world we live in is challenging us daily as Christians and it is sometimes so hard. What a blessing we have knowing that Christ is our salvation, our joy, and our strength to triumph over the evil one. I am thrilled that you are getting back to your stitching and your crafting - it really does help to get our minds focused on those things that can bring us joy. Thank you for sharing of your beautiful projects and your time and talents. Blessings and hugs to you, Cynthia………
I love seeing all the things you create! And thank you for sharing your feelings. Grief is hard and everyone’s journey is different. I also have suffered a terrible loss. My grief can be overwhelming but it does seem to ease with time. You are in my thoughts ❤️
So lovely to see you, take your time and concentrate on yourself and family. Floss Tube is lots of pressure and takes up lots of time. My parents have been gone for many many years and I have never gotten over it.
Cynthia I felt like I reconnected to an old friend after listening to this floss tube. The pieces you shared were lovely and you have inspired me to pick up some favorite pieces and do some stitching on them. Cynthia grief is a unique thing. My mom has been gone 25 years and every fall I still live through the days preceding her death. I still find moment of missing her terribly and I allow myself to sob deeply - it keeps me sane. It took me 5 years of deep sadness until joy started filling my days. Everyone handles it differently so be kind and gentle with yourself. Journaling may help and I’m sure there are lots of ways to help. You are in my prayers. I wish I lived next door to you so I could listen to you, make you dinner, stitch with you and be a friend. Thank you so much for all you have shared with us. I think you are amazing ◡̈
Cynthia great video! Life is hard but you will be strong.Thank you for sharing everything. Chickens are fabulous & you could back it with burlap. Prayers are with you!
So glad to see you again. Grief is such a hard thing to deal with. I deal with mine trying to stay busy and doing things that bring me joy. It seems better when I stay busy stitching but sometimes you loose your desire to stitch so I just push thru and pick it up a do a couple of stitches and I do feel better. I love all your beautiful stitching. Thank you for sharing. Go easy on yourself. We are all here for you🥰
Hi Cynthia, I love your Flosstube! I almost never comment because I watch on my Television. Everything you stitch is delightful! I’m so sorry you are going though such a tough season. Praying for you and your family. May the Lord’s blessings abound in and around you! ✨💕🙏
Thanking you for the sweet and peaceful blessings your podcasts cause me to feel…love all the crafting, stitching and the book recommendations…your stitching looks great and the patterns and plans are awesome…be safe, praying your days will be filled with blessing’s and happy stitching Cynthia❤️
Beautiful projects and so inspiring! Thank you for sharing. Your sunflower bee display is gorgeous!! I lost my father on Father's day 2021 and Father's day 2022 was super hard, so I totally understand. I was surprised/upset that other family members didn't find the anniversary any harder than any other day. A friend gave me some really good advice. She said everyone grieves differently so don't judge others in how they grieve. I realized I was sort of judging or just wishing they would grieve like me. I now take that advice and I don't judge anyone's grief process including my own. I am also learning about the brain and how the left side feels the pain of the loss while the right side feels gratitude for having these people in your life. It's good to take a break from the sadness by going into the right brain and feeling gratitude and joy and God's eternal love. I think this is what you were trying to say. Crafting (or any creative activity like music, gardening, dancing, cooking, painting, hiking, canoeing, badminton, etc) in a free feels good relaxed way, without a to do list, will help you be in the right side of your brain where you can be in the moment enjoying the feel of the floss, the beautiful colors, and the fun pattern emerging, and this will help you feel gratitude, joy and love which will in turn nurture and heal your heart. Sending lots of love, Valerie
I’m glad your back! Love the punch needle. Could you hot glue some jute on the back of your punch needle and tie it onto the chicken wire. I also thought some black beads might look cute for the bees eyes. Just a thought. I hope your troubles ease up. It’s rough raising kids.
Thanks Vicki - I've tried to tie on the wires in the past and it's harder to get straight for me - but I may have to if my paper doesn't hold. I like the bead idea - thanks so much! I appreciate your support - xoxo
Hi Cynthia, thank you for sharing your talent and heart. Like many who have posted, I so relate to the feelings of loss and grief. This time of year is difficult...however, I have 8 nieces and nephews. The older boys knew my parents however, the younger ones did not meet my parents. I take my memories of my beloved parents and share moments with these beautiful children/young adults. For me, it keeps my parents memory and legacy of family, love alive. Blessings to you and yours.
Been thinking and praying for you quite a bit. I understand but I am happy to see you back. I have missed you. Thank you for sharing with us. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers
Hi Cynthia 💞 Beautiful finishes and always love your projects. The Louisa Coulimor design is beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Grief is so difficult throughout the year. The 3rd anniversary of my dear father's passing is coming up this month. My mother passed away in 2016 and my mother-in-law passed 5 weeks later. And their birthdays were 5 days apart in August. Sending my love and prayers ♡
Thank you Cynthia for sharing. Your voice is so soothing and I feel like I am sitting listening to a friend. Love your smalls finishes and the displays in your home of them are so pretty. I noticed the Miss Suzy book in one of your displays and it brought back a memory of having that book myself as a child. It made me smile. I will be praying that things would ease up and be less stressful for you. A quote I always live by is “Life is hard but God is good” --Thank you again for sharing and I hope you have a beautiful day Cynthia.
Loss is hard and grief is so different for each person. I lost my younger brother over Memorial Day Weekend this year and a month later my son's best friend since childhood and an honorary member of our family died at just 37 years old. I love what you said about when you feel so sad and bad, try to help or bless someone else. This is SO true. I started applying that to my life about 12 years ago when I went through a very bad patch that I almost didn't recover from. It truly helps YOU also, when you help someone else. Thank you for spending time doing a video. It was much appreciated.
Good to see you again. I am sorry you have a hard time. Since January 21 when we found out our oldest son had passed. Life will never be the same. this September is going to be difficult his birthday is September 21. I have had trouble settling on stitching also. I have been stitching on lots of smalls.
Cynthia, I have success with using strips of thin cardboard to cover the sharp edges of wire attached to frames. I just use a stapler to attach the cardboard to the wood. Use save the cardboard found in new clothing. to reuse in this way. I hope this helps as I have found that the duct tape can mark your wall and creates a sticky mess as it ages.
Good to see your sweet face. We seem to be walking through the same valley. Will be praying for you. I do think that doing what you love is a healing time, I have been stitching in the most haphazard way, but loving it. I do think the bees are so cute... I tell you something girl, you can find the prettiest fabrics! Love some of your warmer, dark ones... love ya..........
I understand your grief and dark days. I lost my husband and I am struggling. I’m not stitching. I have a hard time getting out of bed. I feel like there’s no reason to. You will be in my prayers. Thanks for the beautiful flosstube.
Good to see you again Cynthia! God bless you as you struggled so much with your losses. I only had one major loss in 2017 which was my best friend/my mother and I still grieve… A lot. And when Mother’s Day comes around that’s the weekend that she passed away and it is very hard for me. Don’t be so hard on yourself God will wrap his loving arms around you every time and give you a big hug from me. 🙏🏼🤗💞
Wonderful to see you! Your voice calms my spirit and gives me peace. Praying for you as you grieve the loss of your mom and MIL. It’s been two years since mom went home. I miss her and grief still hits hard but is changing into moments of remembrance . The joy of knowing she is with Jesus and singing her heart out with the heavenly chorus brings a smile and a giggle ! We will see our moms again ! I love your large punch needle on the chicken wire! The colors are gorgeous and not only a lot of thread but your precious time! Keep stitching!
It was so nice to see you and your beautiful finishes. I'm so sorry you're going through such a rough time, grief is so hard & it is different for each of us. Continue to give yourself Grace & hold onto the hem of God's robe, He is with you & cares for you. Prayers for you sweet lady!
Thank you so much for sharing....please take care and be safe....I understand about loss, this year has been very hard...my prayers are with you and your family
Recognising anniversary grief is a major step forward, and how brave you are to share these feelings. I hope you can manage one day at a time and find some peace of mind
Hi sweet friend! Have my water and my stitching now to visit! Oh that sunflower berry! Ohhh yes, I need to-find that pattern. I just today took my sunflower petals and was going to dye but didn’t have enough but did use my nasturtiums. Oh the crows and flowers look fantastic on that! Gave me idea for my cricket collection autumn! Think of you always, and prayers for you all. Hugs
Sooo glad you are back. I live in Wichita Kansas and so proud of you. I enjoy the crafts you share with us. With covid constant scare---it's concerning. You are greatly appreciated. Our cross stitch store here in Wichita is doing so good. You would be proud. I remember you mentioned you were born in Wichita. See you next time.
I love all of your sunflower finishes! I have a couple of sunflower patterns I want to finish but we will see :). Loss is such a hard thing. I lost my Mom right before this last Christmas. Her birthday and Mother's Day were very hard. I feel like I am just starting to get out of the funk I have been in since December. But there are still bad days that pop up and make me sad. Sending prayers your way.
Such a treat when your flosstube pops up for me! I love your work and spirit, but just had to mention that we are a three generation "Miss Suzy" family!! I grew up with that book, shared it with my daughter who in turn has bought it and reads to her daughters as well. What a sweet connection. Praying for and with you!
I’m so happy to see you back! I have missed your videos! I love your latest finishes ! That little squirrel is my favorite 😍 I can relate to missing loved ones who have passed. As the years go by it gets easier but sometimes grief comes out of nowhere. My daughter had her first baby a week ago and the first people I wanted to tell were my momma and sister. Is there a hotline to Heaven? It’s not quite the same sharing the news with your brother and dad. Anyway I shed a few tears that they were not here to celebrate with me. Hugs !
I am thrilled to have you back. I am so sorry for all the struggles you’ve been going through. I hope you continue to heal and are able to find some happiness and peace through your hobbies. I loved The Bodyguard too! I’ve read all her books and enjoyed every single one. Thank you for sharing and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh sister, grieve all you need to it’s normal. I know you are a believer and we grieve with hope but, still grieve. I too have lost loved ones in the last couple of years. Family hurts are the worst kind of hurts. They cut deep. Keep praying for them sister. I have an estranged son and 2 granddaughters. Heart breaking! God Bless You!
Hi Cynthia, good to see you back again. I know you believe in prayer, so I wanted to tell you my mom passed away on 8/26. She was my beautiful, sweet, and courageous mother and I miss her so much. She lived a long life at 95 and she was ready to meet her Lord and Savior. I am thankful I was with her the moment she peacefully left this life. I'll miss the nightly phone calls and traveling nearly 3 hours to visit her and take her to appointments, but I know I'll see her and my dad again one day. So sorry you have been dealing with such darkness in your life. I've had a lot of family drama going on as well so I'm trying to leave it all in God's hands. It's sometimes a struggle. I'm still Praying for you! ❤ Your punch needle looks great! I really want to try that sometime.
Yayyyy, a little sunshine (YOU) shown on my day!!! I totally enjoyed this visit and seeing all your projects. Your vignettes are so pretty! Thank you for sharing with us. Stay well and be blessed♡
Love your finishes and your progress on your wips. Take care and happy stitching!

Oh, joy! You're back! You're very wise to remember you can't let circumstances tell you what's true. Take every thought captive🙂
Thank you for blessing us today. I have missed your flosstube. I liked all your finishes, but the bees cracked me up...creepy eyes indeed! Maybe you could find some small wooden buttons for the eyes. Cute prim buttons would not be creepy
So happy to have you back!! I love your flosstube. Please take care and you are in my prayers.❤️
I love seeing you again Cynthia. You are my favorite flosstuber! Thank you 😊.
You are so sweet- thank you!
Hello again! Good to see you and all your stitchy things! Glad your creativity is in full boil.
Thank you! 😊 Don't be scared Toni - there are great videos on UA-cam. You can do it!
Enjoyed the video. Your stitching is always beautiful.
Hope you feel God's love and present daily.

I love your punch needle piece with the chickens. I’ve been wanting to try it, but am scared to try it. I bought the punch needle and a frame, etc.
Great to see you & your projects /plans again! My thoughts & prayers are with you as you journey through this time of missing your loved ones. I adore your reminders about giving ourselves grace. Happy stitching & reading❤️🧵🪡📖

Beautiful projects and so inspiring! Thank you for sharing. Your sunflower bee display is gorgeous!! I lost my father on Father's day 2021 and Father's day 2022 was super hard, so I totally understand. I was surprised/upset that other family members didn't find the anniversary any harder than any other day. A friend gave me some really good advice. She said everyone grieves differently so don't judge others in how they grieve. I realized I was sort of judging or just wishing they would grieve like me. I now take that advice and I don't judge anyone's grief process including my own. I am also learning about the brain and how the left side feels the pain of the loss while the right side feels gratitude for having these people in your life. It's good to take a break from the sadness by going into the right brain and feeling gratitude and joy and God's eternal love. I think this is what you were trying to say. Crafting (or any creative activity like music, gardening, dancing, cooking, painting, hiking, canoeing, badminton, etc) in a free feels good relaxed way, without a to do list, will help you be in the right side of your brain where you can be in the moment enjoying the feel of the floss, the beautiful colors, and the fun pattern emerging, and this will help you feel gratitude, joy and love which will in turn nurture and heal your heart. Sending lots of love, Valerie

Beautiful video Cynthia! Thinking and praying for you. You are amazing in everything you do! Take care.
Thank you so much 😊
Good to see you again Cynthia! God bless you as you struggled so much with your losses. I only had one major loss in 2017 which was my best friend/my mother and I still grieve… A lot. And when Mother’s Day comes around that’s the weekend that she passed away and it is very hard for me. Don’t be so hard on yourself God will wrap his loving arms around you every time and give you a big hug from me. 🙏🏼🤗💞
Thank you so much for your comment and support Sheila:)
Wonderful to see you! Your voice calms my spirit and gives me peace. Praying for you as you grieve the loss of your mom and MIL. It’s been two years since mom went home. I miss her and grief still hits hard but is changing into
moments of remembrance . The joy of knowing she is with Jesus and singing her heart out with the heavenly chorus brings a smile and a giggle ! We will see our moms again ! I love your large punch needle on the chicken wire! The colors are gorgeous and not only a lot of thread but your precious time! Keep stitching!
Thank you so much Delores❤️
It was so nice to see you and your beautiful finishes. I'm so sorry you're going through such a rough time, grief is so hard & it is different for each of us. Continue to give yourself Grace & hold onto the hem of God's robe, He is with you & cares for you. Prayers for you sweet lady!
Thank you so much for your comment and support Gina :)
Bless you x
Just absolutely love your sunflower strawberry. I have the same pattern and am intimidated also. Maybe I will give it a try.
You can do it 😊!
Thank you so much for sharing....please take care and be safe....I understand about loss, this year has been very hard...my prayers are with you and your family
Thank you so much!
Wow! What a comeback. Everything is so cute. Love your prim. ❤️
Recognising anniversary grief is a major step forward, and how brave you are to share these feelings. I hope you can manage one day at a time and find some peace of mind
Thank you so much for your comment and support :)
I hate that you’re hurting. My study verse today was Eph 3:17-19. I pray that over you and yours. I always enjoy your episodes. God bless.
thank you so much!
Hi sweet friend! Have my water and my stitching now to visit! Oh that sunflower berry! Ohhh yes, I need to-find that pattern. I just today took my sunflower petals and was going to dye but didn’t have enough but did use my nasturtiums. Oh the crows and flowers look fantastic on that! Gave me idea for my cricket collection autumn! Think of you always, and prayers for you all. Hugs
That sounds like a fun dye experiment. Thanks so much for your encouragement as always.!
Sooo glad you are back. I live in Wichita Kansas and so proud of you. I enjoy the crafts you share with us. With covid constant scare---it's concerning. You are greatly appreciated. Our cross stitch store here in Wichita is doing so good. You would be proud. I remember you mentioned you were born in Wichita. See you next time.
Thank you so much Elizabeth🌻😊
I love all of your sunflower finishes! I have a couple of sunflower patterns I want to finish but we will see :). Loss is such a hard thing. I lost my Mom right before this last Christmas. Her birthday and Mother's Day were very hard. I feel like I am just starting to get out of the funk I have been in since December. But there are still bad days that pop up and make me sad. Sending prayers your way.
So sorry for your loss ❤️
Such a treat when your flosstube pops up for me! I love your work and spirit, but just had to mention that we are a three generation "Miss Suzy" family!! I grew up with that book, shared it with my daughter who in turn has bought it and reads to her daughters as well. What a sweet connection. Praying for and with you!
I love that you love miss suzy too. Reading as a child becomes a part of you like no other reading. A sweet connection for sure - xoxo
Hugs and prayers

Was just thinking about you. Good to see you back. Hope things get better.

I love how you’ve decorated with your beautiful work.
Thank you! 😊
I’m so happy to see you back! I have missed your videos! I love your latest finishes ! That little squirrel is my favorite 😍 I can relate to missing loved ones who have passed. As the years go by it gets easier but sometimes grief comes out of nowhere. My daughter had her first baby a week ago and the first people I wanted to tell were my momma and sister. Is there a hotline to Heaven? It’s not quite the same sharing the news with your brother and dad. Anyway I shed a few tears that they were not here to celebrate with me. Hugs !
I am thrilled to have you back. I am so sorry for all the struggles you’ve been going through. I hope you continue to heal and are able to find some happiness and peace through your hobbies. I loved The Bodyguard too! I’ve read all her books and enjoyed every single one. Thank you for sharing and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Thanks Ginger - xoxo!

Oh sister, grieve all you need to it’s normal. I know you are a believer and we grieve with hope but, still grieve. I too have lost loved ones in the last couple of years.
Family hurts are the worst kind of hurts. They cut deep. Keep praying for them sister. I have an estranged son and 2 granddaughters. Heart breaking! God Bless You!
God bless you Kathy ❤️
Fab video as always 😁
My Mom has been gone for 12 years and I still go down.
It's not something we ever get over - Thank you so much for your comment and support :)

Hi Cynthia, good to see you back again. I know you believe in prayer, so I wanted to tell you my mom passed away on 8/26. She was my beautiful, sweet, and courageous mother and I miss her so much. She lived a long life at 95 and she was ready to meet her Lord and Savior. I am thankful I was with her the moment she peacefully left this life. I'll miss the nightly phone calls and traveling nearly 3 hours to visit her and take her to appointments, but I know I'll see her and my dad again one day. So sorry you have been dealing with such darkness in your life. I've had a lot of family drama going on as well so I'm trying to leave it all in God's hands. It's sometimes a struggle. I'm still Praying for you! ❤ Your punch needle looks great! I really want to try that sometime.
Thank you so much Phyllis- I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️
