Please don’t think any less of me, but I bought The Botanical Sticker book for my mother-in-law for Christmas. It was wrapped and under the tree. (I think you know where I’m going with this, don’t you?!). I just couldn’t do it! I had to keep it for myself. She’s a lovely lady, but...I needed the stickers! 😂 We gave her a beautiful William Morris plant pot instead! Elizabeth Cockerill is looking SO lovely on that fabric. ❤️ I’m working on video number 2! 😊😊😊
I’m so sorry about your Dad…and I’m so glad you were able to spend some time with him…. The project bag does look happy. Thank you for all the effort you take doing your floss tube it is enjoyable to watch….
Do you want to know how many times I stopped and backed up to repeat a segment? Lots LOL. Thank you for a wonderful start to the year, your stitching inspires, your obvious affection and friendship are a joy to watch, and your enabling...well that’s an whole ‘nother level! Looking forward to 2021 with every second Sunday relaxing with the two of you. Now, back to household chores. Take care.
There is a very small handful of Flosstubers that I look forward to seeing their videos that I watch for the upload and immediately switch to their videos...you two lovely ladies are #1. I also appreciate the friendship that you share... we should all be blessed. Brenda...have you ever counted how many beautiful pieces you have hung in your home? Thank you for the joy you bring to us all!
Thank you for your very wonderful comments dear! We so appreciate your kindness! and your watching us at the drop of a hat! I wonder what that count would be for Brenda....it would be amazing! Probably better not to know because it would put the rest of us to shame!
What a lovely morning spent with you inspiring ladies. I love your new starts and your exciting plans for 2021! It will be so fun to watch all of your chosen projects to grow! The gifts and kind words you received I know you both appreciated and isn’t it wonderful to have such kind and generous friends. This all adds up to nothing but GOOD! Have the best start to 2021 that you both can have. Blessings to you both this day and always
Thank you so much Vonna!!!!! What kind words you have bestowed upon us. We both wish you a happy new year full of good things and good people! Love you!!!

Your enthusiasm for Wipgo is catching! And I just saw the January Prairie Schooler today and just loved it! So, gonna get my list going and start Wipgo in February. Thanks!
I about yelled out when Brenda showed the Kathy Barrick finished piece!! That’s on my next up projects!! I’ve wanted to stitch that for a couple months now. Loooooove it!! My jealous factor sky rocketed!!!! I may have to table what I’m working on and start it!!!! And Laura’s BBD heart from Carol.... I’m triple H-ing!!!!!! Love your videos!! Y’all have be smiling the whole time!. Happy New Year!! Peace, love and stitching to you!!
That is SO EXCITING Lisa!!!!!!!!!! Did you start it yesterday???? I got the DMC threads for it, but started the January PS piece yesterday. I will start Little Lamb soon though! I know about skyrocketing jealous factors!!! I have to keep them in check, but it is hard sometimes! Happy New Year!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 it took everything I had but I didn’t start it yet, I plan to this weekend. Im working on Christmas at Hollyberry Farm, just finished the border. So this week I’m pulling threads and fabric, so excited!! I’m doing the #12in21ornamentstitchalong on Instagram too. I think that’s the hashtag. Hoping to get more on the tree this year!!
Happy New Year ladies!!!! And an enormous Thank You for the Flosstubes that you put out for us, you can't imagine the good they do. I gives us something fun, interesting and motivating to look forward to every two weeks. To another New Year of beautiful stitching....

What wonderful gifts you received treasures for all time♥️ You both have wonderful stitching projects so gorgeous....I have to say made me feel much better when you talked about club piece ..I too was not feeling it and felt guilty & will source out linen, floss so Thank you!! Have a great couple of weeks. Cheers....
Thanks so much LaNelle! Happy New Year!!! Yes, we can make the best of that sampler by using the linen and threads! Maybe stitch a motif or two on a pin pillow!
Happy New Year you fabulous ladies!! Thank you for sharing all your projects and all the wonderful gifts you were given. Just amazing!! Looking forward to the year, watching you two always lights up my day. Be well and happy stitching!!
Brenda love your idea of using your Mom’s maiden name for the Blackbird design. I did that with All Joys for Thine, my moms maiden initials and my grandmothers maiden initials and her Year of brith. There is something about honoring then as they were young women with there own hopes and dreams. It was very healing to work on reflecting on wonderful memories. Love your channel, so look forward to you both, you two are my favorite floss tube channel! May 2021 bring you both many blessings!
Awesome video Brenda and Laura...you bring such excitement to my stitching world with your sweet projects...wishing you JOY in this New Year and Happy Stitching ❣️
Happy New Year to both of you and Happy Birthday to both of you!!! I love the idea of WIPGO!! Your red house and TAB project bags could not be more perfect!! Thanks as always for sharing the gift of your friendship and passion for all things stitchy! Wishing you both health and happiness (and hopefully at least one trip) for 2021! Stay safe and happy stitching!
So fun to watch you two. I stitched for many years but then it became difficult to see so I stopped stitching but you ha inspired me to give it a try again. Thank you so much for your bubbly personalities.
Thank you Sherry!!! Make sure you get a good Ott light and have good magnification!!! It is key. I also wear reading glasses in addition to the light and magnification. Do whatever you need to do so you can see. Let us know how it goes!!! Hugs!!!
Happy New Year. So excited for another year of your videos. So many beautiful stitches and so much enabling. Have a great day ladies. See you next time.
It's always with great joy that I watch you each time you have a new video. You both are so much fun to see your works of ❤️. Stitching is from the heart. Happy New year
It's always exciting when the two if you post a video!! Really enjoyed all the beautiful projects you both showed! When I get my threads together for a project ,I just cut the loop at the bottom of the thread. Works great with WDW AND GAST threads. I'm going to have to find the William Morris stitcker book! Thanks🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤
Hi friends! Fun to see all of your sweet gifts. You bring so much to the stitching community, and it’s nice to see some of that coming back to you! ❤️ - Sheri
Thank you for another wonderful video! Hope you guys have a wonderful year! I am so looking forward to all the new things that you guys will be showing us. You keep me laughing and I love you guys! God Bless!
Watching this was my reward for taking down all of the Christmas stuff and putting it away. As always, thank you for lots of smiles and chuckles and enablement. Notes have been taken and orders placed. Let’s hope that 2021 is as joyful as you two are. xxjenny
Thanks Jenny!!! Good for you for doing that big chore first...you have more self control than I do!!!! Let's hope that 2021 sees us face to face! Love you!
Happy belated birthday Laura..and thanks as always for the enabling...wishing you both and all your families a healthy safe and happy new year...Cheers!
I know I repeat myself all the time , but I love your videos. The stitching is great and the conversation is always positive. There are charts and floss and thread out there that aren’t my favorite, but I always appreciate the art, talents, and time it took to create them. There is something for everybody. Thanks for your time and talents!
You girls are just the best! You inspire me and I go racing to my stash! Don't think WIPGO is for me, but stitching what I love or what sings to my heart always works.
What a lovely episode again - thank you for stitching my stuff... if I didn't spend every minute stitching my own stuff ('coz I have to) I'd be seriously tempted by the lovely samplers you ladies show each episode!
Thanks so much Jacob!!! We are honored that you watched! We could all be happy for the rest of our lives just stitching your charts!!! Everything is amazing, gorgeous and delightful!!! Happy New Year!
I love Lori Holt's Prairie Schooler conversion too!! I almost fell off my chair when you gals said you didn't care for that one pattern. LOL, I have never heard you say you didn't like something. That is OK, I appreciate the honesty. Happy New Year Ladies!!
Thanks Linda! I guess that is part of getting older...have to say what we think. I started the PS with Lori Holt's conversion last night and it is going to be fun!!!
I just found you and I am subscribed ~ I truly enjoyed watching you! Thank you so much for your comments about stitching on Aida, it is so nice to not feel like an outcast or less of a stitcher!
So much eye candy! Such lovely pieces and lots of inspiration, as always! Stitching is therapy and here's hoping we won't need as much therapy during 2021 and can just totally enjoy our stitching for the pleasure it is! Thank you so much for taking the time to visit with us!
It’s going to be so fun to see you both stitching Jane with the different flosses. As always, so much enabling. So many beautiful samplers. Going to try to balance bigger projects with some smalls, and I need to stitch something from the Sewing Club for sure! Thanks for more goo shenanigans, and looking forward to more all year! 🤗
Thanks Kim!!!!!! It will be interesting to see the different Jane samplers. I will just need to keep up.....that is the hard part! So many beautiful things to stitch!!!! It is tough to pick. Happy New Year!
My visit with you two was just what I needed on this dreary grey day in Indiana.🤗 Your specific instructions for how to put DMC floss on your floss drops were so helpful, Brenda. I love all your sampler projects, both of you. ❤️ In Nicola’s recent video she talks about her plan to have a collection of smaller size samplers on a wall, and now that is my goal. 🤗
Thanks Conni!!! Yes, with Brenda's description I could finally figure out how to get my DMC on the drops in an easier way. I am going to watch Nicola's new video tonight! Can't wait! Yay for smaller samplers!!!!
That is so cool!!! Definitely, great minds think a like! Brenda totally underestimates the time it takes to stitch something for us mere mortals!!!! Hope all is well down there in Texas! Love you!
Wonderful WIPs. As I was digging thru my stash I told my husband it’s great having hobbies. You need to get one too. He said I have one. Watching you lol I’m a football fanatic too. Everytime I watch you guys my WIPS change lol thank you so much for visiting and sharing
Thanks Patti!!! I am that way too....I change my projects after looking at floss tube and IG. Brenda is good (#mature) because she sticks with her projects!
Hi Lovely ladies, I've ditched my cuppa in favour of a G & T this eve to watch and wish you both a very happy New Year. Thank you for all the stitchy inspiration you've shared with us over the past year. As a You Tuber myself (My Creative Spirit) I really appreciate all the time snd effort that goes into each video. Here's to a fun 2021 and lots more stitchy inspiration :-) C
As soon as Laura showed the PDF of ‘Little Lamb’ after Brenda showing her gift I went shopping. A must to stitch this year. Loved your basket Laura and with my birthday next month I’m going to ask hubby for that. Happy New Year ladies and plenty of stitching. Blessings to you both.
Had to comment how much I enjoy your videos. I watch the videos on my TV and forget to leave a comment later. Thank you for the inspiration and fun! Your friendship shines through. I am fairly new to cross stitch and found out about Dyeing to Stich from you two lovely ladies. My ears perked up when you all mentioned Dyeing to Stitch being in Virginia Beach. As it turns out I live about 13 miles from the store. High tailed it there back in July, serious sensory overload. Thanks again for your fun videos! Happy 2021.
13 miles from Dyeing to Stitch????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to faint!!!! Well, you must be at the next retreat whenever it is!!!! Did you talk to Ann at Dyeing to Stitch??? If you need anything, she is your go to gal! We are seriously jealous Carolee!!!! Have fun!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 Next time I am in Dyeing to Stitch I will be sure to meet Ann if she is there. The store had so many beautiful things to look at, I could have spent all day just admiring the stitching up on the walls! Happy Friday.
You sweet gals always entertain us with your beautiful stitching, and sense of humor. See you in 2 weeks if the bad guys don’t over throw the country 😏🤓🤬
It was such a pleasure to share my Sunday evening with you. My husband usually looks the other way from my mess/stash for cross-stitch, quilting, and Nantucket basket making. However, he is always very supportive, encouraging, and complimentary of my projects. Happy New Year!
So happy to welcome the New Year in with the two of you!! I agree with you that there had better be some retreat stitching this year!! Looking forward to Silver Needle! I loved seeing what the two of you have been working on; always so pretty and inspiring. I loved Lori Holt’s video too; Teresa Kogut also does finishing of her pieces using old books, love it. I also bought the “old needlepoint” fabric from Kitten Stitcher; I really like it too. Laura, I like your idea about doing seasonal stitching for the Wipgo. I am waiting on my Brenda Keyes Sampler Motif book to come; can’t wait after seeing it on your FT. I loved the things from your gift exchange; such gorgeous handmade items, which are just the best ever - happy for both of you. It was so good to see you both. Big hugs and happy stitching.......
My husband came in and actually sat down and watched you all today. Shock!! His assessment - I can see why you enjoy them”. 😊. Sometimes they DO get it🤣
I have a new rule! No matter what I am watching etc... new rule stop, go to Brenda and Laura’s video! Lol now to watch! Love it all oh man, some beautiful colours on some! I got the book of days as a gift and now I am sad those stickers cost so much here, will have to look for some others! Lol
Thank you very much Michele!!!!! You know as soon as you have a new video I am there stat!!!!!! Love your projects and thanks for the Wipgo inspiration!!!! Hugs from both of us to you!
Happy dance in my head when the bing came on my phone that this was ready to view! Happy new year to the both of you. You stared mine off on the right foot. Thanks for the visit! Love your inspiration and the company!
This was another great video! I love all your plans and projects, and those wonderful gifts. Thanks for clarifying wipgo. I'll have to go watch the Michelle the striped rose video as it sounds like a very interesting way to work on some projects that need a little more love.
I ordered the Sampler Motif book, from across the pond, after pausing your video! Of course, I finished watching you sweet ladies and enjoyed every minute❤️ Blessings to both of you in 2021!
I so agree with wanting to get on a plane and go straight to The Attic! I was just watching one of the videos this morning....that was so what I wanted to do! Then Jean mentioned something you were doing, Brenda....now I am here instead! Lol! So fun to do since I can’t get on a plane at the moment! 🤪☺️🥳
I don’t cross stitch but I love watching you. (I am a knitter mostly and maker). you make me feel great. On another note I rescued a sampler on linen from a thrift store for $4.00. It was done in 1984. The style is not my thing but I would send it to either of you to give it a proper home. if you are interested I can email you a picture of it. It appears to be professionally framed. Also when I do occasionally cross stitch I use 14 count aida. 😗You ladies amaze me with your skill.
Thanks so much Gloria!!!!!! Would love to see a picture of it! You can email me, Laura, at duetabode@comcast.net Thank you for watching!!! We sure appreciate it!
Thank you again for always mentioning one over one stitching on your samplers. Now I can choose a sampler for sure because I am an Aida stitcher. Happy New Year to you both! Barb
So much lovely shared in this episode. I always walk away adding a few more items to my wish list. :) I hope you both had wonderful holidays filled with family, fun and some relaxation.
Love your video! My first counted cross stitch was on linen . I was shown by lady at Thumbelina in Solvang California in 1975. And then after a few years I found aida and then back to linen. I saw Lori Holt floss tube. I absolutely love Prairie Schooler but I rarely change colors and not Prairie Schooler But it was amazing. Carol's husband does make the shaker boxes. I have a set on order. Cant wait.
Thanks Darleen!!!! Did you have pea soup when you were in Solvang, CA? I remember that is where I had it at Pea Soup Andersons! Although you would not catch me eating pea soup anymore. Peas...yuch! Anyway, thanks for watching and loved hearing how you started stitching!!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 I did go to Anderson's. I lived at Vandenburg Air force base for 4years I did have pea soup once. We went there often. Just to say I had it. I too hate peas🤨
Happy New Year to you both! Loved today's episode, as always. I love all of your gifts, oh my, what treasures! Love your Little Lamb, Brenda, great finishing, I would not have thought of that. I stitched this 2 years ago and need to get it framed, Laura, you will enjoy stitching it! Have a great couple of weeks!
You ladies always show such amazing charts and projects! I just love watching all you do. Really enjoyed what you showed today. Happy stitching, and good luck with Wipgo Laura!!
I love your videos. They are so much fun. You all have talked me into starting a sampler. Sweetheart Hill by Plum Street Samplers. I’m enjoying it so much. Keep our spirits up and encouraging us. Thank you!
Please don’t think any less of me, but I bought The Botanical Sticker book for my mother-in-law for Christmas. It was wrapped and under the tree. (I think you know where I’m going with this, don’t you?!). I just couldn’t do it! I had to keep it for myself. She’s a lovely lady, but...I needed the stickers! 😂 We gave her a beautiful William Morris plant pot instead!
Elizabeth Cockerill is looking SO lovely on that fabric. ❤️ I’m working on video number 2! 😊😊😊
OMG, you only did what I would’ve done! 😄
That is a fabulous story and EXACTLY what I would have done!!!!!!! We are excited for video number 2!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol!
I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say how greatful I am that you two continue to make these videos. ❤
Love the pink pillow from Saltbox Stitcher and that box her husband made is gorgeous ❤️. all your gifts are very sweet. You girls are loved.
Thank you Debbie!!!
Beautiful samplers...especially like the Little Lambs pattern. Thank you for sharing your skill and friendship!
I’m so sorry about your Dad…and I’m so glad you were able to spend some time with him….
The project bag does look happy. Thank you for all the effort you take doing your floss tube it is enjoyable to watch….
Always an inspiring FT - Thanks Brenda and Laura. Happy Stitching!!!

I love Lori Holt's Prairie Schooler conversion too!! I almost fell off my chair when you gals said you didn't care for that one pattern. LOL, I have never heard you say you didn't like something. That is OK, I appreciate the honesty. Happy New Year Ladies!!
Thanks Linda! I guess that is part of getting older...have to say what we think. I started the PS with Lori Holt's conversion last night and it is going to be fun!!!
I just found you and I am subscribed ~ I truly enjoyed watching you! Thank you so much for your comments about stitching on Aida, it is so nice to not feel like an outcast or less of a stitcher!
The best ‘shenanigans’ ever!! Thank you, wonderful ladies ♥️💙
Thank you for watching Marion!!!!
So much eye candy! Such lovely pieces and lots of inspiration, as always! Stitching is therapy and here's hoping we won't need as much therapy during 2021 and can just totally enjoy our stitching for the pleasure it is! Thank you so much for taking the time to visit with us!
Thank you so much Chrie!!!
It’s going to be so fun to see you both stitching Jane with the different flosses. As always, so much enabling. So many beautiful samplers. Going to try to balance bigger projects with some smalls, and I need to stitch something from the Sewing Club for sure! Thanks for more goo shenanigans, and looking forward to more all year! 🤗
Thanks Kim!!!!!! It will be interesting to see the different Jane samplers. I will just need to keep up.....that is the hard part! So many beautiful things to stitch!!!! It is tough to pick. Happy New Year!
My visit with you two was just what I needed on this dreary grey day in Indiana.🤗 Your specific instructions for how to put DMC floss on your floss drops were so helpful, Brenda. I love all your sampler projects, both of you. ❤️ In Nicola’s recent video she talks about her plan to have a collection of smaller size samplers on a wall, and now that is my goal. 🤗
Thanks Conni!!! Yes, with Brenda's description I could finally figure out how to get my DMC on the drops in an easier way. I am going to watch Nicola's new video tonight! Can't wait! Yay for smaller samplers!!!!
So funny, Laura. When I got the Basket of Cheer pattern, I also got the Merry Yuletide pattern. GMTA! Oh, and Brenda, yeah, not a two day stitch! 😂
That is so cool!!! Definitely, great minds think a like! Brenda totally underestimates the time it takes to stitch something for us mere mortals!!!! Hope all is well down there in Texas! Love you!
Wonderful WIPs. As I was digging thru my stash I told my husband it’s great having hobbies. You need to get one too. He said I have one. Watching you lol I’m a football fanatic too. Everytime I watch you guys my WIPS change lol thank you so much for visiting and sharing
Thanks Patti!!! I am that way too....I change my projects after looking at floss tube and IG. Brenda is good (#mature) because she sticks with her projects!
Hi Lovely ladies, I've ditched my cuppa in favour of a G & T this eve to watch and wish you both a very happy New Year. Thank you for all the stitchy inspiration you've shared with us over the past year. As a You Tuber myself (My Creative Spirit) I really appreciate all the time snd effort that goes into each video. Here's to a fun 2021 and lots more stitchy inspiration :-) C
Thank you so much!!!! A G&T sounds fabulous! But not as good as a Tab would be right now.....Thank you for your kind words. Happy New Year!
As soon as Laura showed the PDF of ‘Little Lamb’ after Brenda showing her gift I went shopping. A must to stitch this year. Loved your basket Laura and with my birthday next month I’m going to ask hubby for that. Happy New Year ladies and plenty of stitching. Blessings to you both.
Thanks Clare! I got the DMC for Little Lamb on the way home! Will start soon!!!!!! Happy New year!
Great video ladies! Happy Happy New Year 🎊🎈
Thanks so much Michele!!! Happy New Year!
Had to comment how much I enjoy your videos. I watch the videos on my TV and forget to leave a comment later. Thank you for the inspiration and fun! Your friendship shines through. I am fairly new to cross stitch and found out about Dyeing to Stich from you two lovely ladies. My ears perked up when you all mentioned Dyeing to Stitch being in Virginia Beach. As it turns out I live about 13 miles from the store. High tailed it there back in July, serious sensory overload. Thanks again for your fun videos! Happy 2021.
13 miles from Dyeing to Stitch????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to faint!!!! Well, you must be at the next retreat whenever it is!!!! Did you talk to Ann at Dyeing to Stitch??? If you need anything, she is your go to gal! We are seriously jealous Carolee!!!! Have fun!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 Next time I am in Dyeing to Stitch I will be sure to meet Ann if she is there. The store had so many beautiful things to look at, I could have spent all day just admiring the stitching up on the walls! Happy Friday.
You sweet gals always entertain us with your beautiful stitching, and sense of humor. See you in 2 weeks if the bad guys don’t over throw the country 😏🤓🤬
Thanks Sharon!!!!!!!!! Thank goodness for our stitching to keep us sane!
Seasonal WIP GO! Yay! I am in! Great video ladies! 🎄❤️
What fun!!!!!!! I am going to work on picking my projects this week!!!! Woohooo!!!! Glad you are doing it too!!!!
Haha! My husband calls the mess around my stitching chair, “my nest”. It’s also referred too as “building my nest” sometimes.
I can relate..my “ nest” in the family room is the same!
I call my area my nest, too!!
My nest could house 20 eagles!!!!!!
@@lyndakling901 Mine is so out of control. The kittens are climbing on it and I still don't fix it. Must do that this week!
@@ytsmom I am going to start referring to it as the nest!
Hi Ladies,
I really love your channel. I also love doing samplers!!! Beautiful work. Thanks....Alberta
Thank you so much Alberta!!!!
You guys make Sunday so special. When I see your video is up, I immediately have to watch! Love you guys! Take care!
That is so nice of you to say (and do!) Thanks Julie!!!!
It was such a pleasure to share my Sunday evening with you. My husband usually looks the other way from my mess/stash for cross-stitch, quilting, and Nantucket basket making. However, he is always very supportive, encouraging, and complimentary of my projects. Happy New Year!
Thanks Marjorie!!!!!! Yes, my husband is the same...but even I think my mess is getting out of control!!! New year's resolution??
Wonderful as usual. Appreciate the work you put into these floss tube videos.❤️🥰 because we couldn’t live without them. 👍
Thanks so much Betty!!!!!!! We have such fun making them!
So happy to welcome the New Year in with the two of you!! I agree with you that there had better be some retreat stitching this year!! Looking forward to Silver Needle! I loved seeing what the two of you have been working on; always so pretty and inspiring. I loved Lori Holt’s video too; Teresa Kogut also does finishing of her pieces using old books, love it. I also bought the “old needlepoint” fabric from Kitten Stitcher; I really like it too. Laura, I like your idea about doing seasonal stitching for the Wipgo. I am waiting on my Brenda Keyes Sampler Motif book to come; can’t wait after seeing it on your FT. I loved the things from your gift exchange; such gorgeous handmade items, which are just the best ever - happy for both of you. It was so good to see you both. Big hugs and happy stitching.......
❤️❤️❤️!!!!
Thanks Pam!!!!! I hope we are together at Silver Needle!!!!!!!!! Hugs!!!
My husband came in and actually sat down and watched you all today. Shock!! His assessment - I can see why you enjoy them”. 😊. Sometimes they DO get it🤣
My husband loves these two also. It’s amazing what he notices and some of his comments ❤️.
@@Stitchingplanet_Janet I know! he even looked up the Prarie Schooler pattern - but I notice he didn’t order it🤣🤣🤣
Oh my starts. That is amazing. Please tell him thank you! And thank you for letting us know Brenda!
@@Stitchingplanet_Janet Thanks Janet!!!!!!!!!
I just re-read my answer. It is supposed to be oh my stars!!!!! Hah!!!! but I said starts!!! Well that works for me too!
Happy New Year, glad to catch up with you two fabulous peeps. Loved your starts and plans.
Happy New Year Suzanne!!!!! Thanks for watching!
I have a new rule! No matter what I am watching etc... new rule stop, go to Brenda and Laura’s video! Lol now to watch! Love it all oh man, some beautiful colours on some! I got the book of days as a gift and now I am sad those stickers cost so much here, will have to look for some others! Lol

So great to see you all again!!! It had seemed like alot longer than 2 weeks! So much inspiration. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Lois!!!! Yes, it was a lot of stuff packed into those two weeks!!!! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year 🎈🎊🎆. Always wonderful seeing you.

Thank you very much Michele!!!!! You know as soon as you have a new video I am there stat!!!!!! Love your projects and thanks for the Wipgo inspiration!!!! Hugs from both of us to you!
Happy dance in my head when the bing came on my phone that this was ready to view! Happy new year to the both of you. You stared mine off on the right foot. Thanks for the visit! Love your inspiration and the company!
Thank you two tons Mary Ellen!!! So nice of you to say!
This was another great video! I love all your plans and projects, and those wonderful gifts. Thanks for clarifying wipgo. I'll have to go watch the Michelle the striped rose video as it sounds like a very interesting way to work on some projects that need a little more love.
Thanks so much Donna!!!!!! Yes, definitely watch Michelle's videos. They are so much fun!!!
You ladies always make me smile & laugh! I love seeing what you are doing! Thank you as always.
Thank you so much Kari!!!!
I saw the Lori Holt video a few days ago - incredible and inspiring !!
Wasn't it???????????????? So much fun!
I ordered the Sampler Motif book, from across the pond, after pausing your video! Of course, I finished watching you sweet ladies and enjoyed every minute❤️ Blessings to both of you in 2021!
I ordered one too with a couple of sampler charts.
Thanks so much Mrs. B!!!!!! Good call on ordering that book. We just heard that there is a color key at the back of the book!!!
@@maryavaux7704 That is so exciting Mary!!!!!!
I so agree with wanting to get on a plane and go straight to The Attic! I was just watching one of the videos this morning....that was so what I wanted to do! Then Jean mentioned something you were doing, Brenda....now I am here instead! Lol! So fun to do since I can’t get on a plane at the moment! 🤪☺️🥳
I don’t cross stitch but I love watching you. (I am a knitter mostly and maker). you make me feel great. On another note I rescued a sampler on linen from a thrift store for $4.00. It was done in 1984. The style is not my thing but I would send it to either of you to give it a proper home. if you are interested I can email you a picture of it. It appears to be professionally framed. Also when I do occasionally cross stitch I use 14 count aida. 😗You ladies amaze me with your skill.
Thanks so much Gloria!!!!!! Would love to see a picture of it! You can email me, Laura, at duetabode@comcast.net Thank you for watching!!! We sure appreciate it!
I’ve been watching your show from the start and I just love you both. You have great taste in stitching, and always inspire me. Thank you!
Thank you so much Loraine!!!!!! We really appreciate your watching and your kind comments!
Thank you again for always mentioning one over one stitching on your samplers. Now I can choose a sampler for sure because I am an Aida stitcher. Happy New Year to you both! Barb
Happy New Year Barb! Luckily they are plenty of samplers without any over one!!!!! What were those girls thinking!!!
We will all have a great new year because no matter-we really are blessed to be able to share our love of this craft!
That is for sure Debra!!!! So true!
Happy New Year! Loved the video as usual. Thank you ladies!
Thanks so much Karen! Happy New Year!
Thank you ladies for a fun flosstube to start my New Year off with a lot of smiles! Love you guys!
Thanks so much for watching Cleta!!! Hugs!
So much lovely shared in this episode. I always walk away adding a few more items to my wish list. :) I hope you both had wonderful holidays filled with family, fun and some relaxation.
Thanks so much Michelle!!!!!!!! We hope you had a wonderful holiday too!!! I think we all need another one!
Love your video! My first counted cross stitch was on linen . I was shown by lady at Thumbelina in Solvang California in 1975. And then after a few years I found aida and then back to linen. I saw Lori Holt floss tube. I absolutely love Prairie Schooler but I rarely change colors and not Prairie Schooler
But it was amazing. Carol's husband does make the shaker boxes. I have a set on order. Cant wait.
Thanks Darleen!!!! Did you have pea soup when you were in Solvang, CA? I remember that is where I had it at Pea Soup Andersons! Although you would not catch me eating pea soup anymore. Peas...yuch! Anyway, thanks for watching and loved hearing how you started stitching!!!!
@@brendaandtheserialstarter2410 I did go to Anderson's. I lived at Vandenburg Air force base for 4years
I did have pea soup once. We went there often. Just to say I had it. I too hate peas🤨
Happy New Year to you both! Loved today's episode, as always. I love all of your gifts, oh my, what treasures! Love your Little Lamb, Brenda, great finishing, I would not have thought of that. I stitched this 2 years ago and need to get it framed, Laura, you will enjoy stitching it! Have a great couple of weeks!
Thanks so much Cindy!!!!! Yes, I cannot wait to start Little Lamb!!! Will do so this week I am sure. Happy Stitching!
You ladies always show such amazing charts and projects! I just love watching all you do. Really enjoyed what you showed today. Happy stitching, and good luck with Wipgo Laura!!
Thank you very much Maureen!!!!! Hugs!!
Thanks for sharing ladies!! So lovely to stitch along while I watch you! I also saw the Lori Holt video and it was fabulous! Hugs from NE Ohio.
Thanks so much Chris!!!!! Glad you watched Lori Holt's video too!!!! Amazing!
I love your videos. They are so much fun. You all have talked me into starting a sampler. Sweetheart Hill by Plum Street Samplers. I’m enjoying it so much. Keep our spirits up and encouraging us. Thank you!
Thanks Mary!!! So excited that you are starting Sweetheart Hill!!!! It is so beautiful!!!!!!! Hugs!
You guys are such a joy to watch! Thanks Ladies.
AWWWWW...that is so sweet of you! Thank you!!!
Happy New Year my friends! I thank you and appreciate you both. I can see how much work goes into making a floss tube episode. You are truly amazing 😉
Thank you so much Ruth! Wishing you a very happy new year with lots of stitching time!
