Thank you for such a fun video, Floz! I stitched while listening to you and looked up to see your projects and photos! All of your projects are looking great! Enjoy your mom’s visit!! BTW, I would not want to deal with companies who would steal art from artists/ designers. There are many honest companies out there from which we can purchase our supplies and charts. Have a lovely December!🙃
Hi Sharon 👋 Thanks for listening to me ramble 😆 I get it. Most people on UA-cam do care about intellectual properties a lot. It would be amazing to work with a legit company one day 😊 If I don't talk to you again, have a fantastic Christmas and New Year with your family!
Hi Floz! Congratulations on your wedding anniversary! For the French knots in your Coffee kit, google Mary Corbet's blog post on the Isolated French Knot. This method allows you to start and end a French knot without needing surrounding stitches. I really like using her part 1 method since I've only done knots with 1 or 2 strands - just make sure your waste thread is long enough to tie off. The instructions in part 2 seem to be for thicker threads. Also if you need a refresher, Mary has a UA-cam tutorial on Colonial knots (my preference). Watching a video right before I begin helps me get them looking consistent.
Love Coffee Break.... can't wait till it's finished. The cross stitch you did for the wedding, and your local coffee shop are such beautiful and thoughtful gifts. Enjoy time with your Mom, and hope you have a wonderful holiday!
Thanks so much! I haven't got the Funny coffee back yet but I think it's gonna get here in a day or two. I'm so excited!!! My mum has been trying to learn how to work the appliances at home and also cleaning like crazy 🤪 So far so good. We haven't tried to knife each other yet. Give it a week or two 🤣🤣🤣
I’d tell those companies you can review cross stitch related accessories but not the kits, tell them you don’t have the audience that would stitch pre stamped kits, the people who promote them generally are stamped kit stitchers. I enjoyed your video, your work is lovely. Enjoy your family time and have a lovely Christmas. Big pats and kisses to the hounds ❤
It's alright. I'm not desperate for free stuff anyway. If I were to do it, it'd be for the variety for the channel. Hope you have a nice Christmas too!
I personally wouldn't support the cross stitch companies that do the stamped kits, but I guess it's up to you. Enjoy your time with your Mum and family over the holidays, Have a Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year and I look forward to your next update whenever that may be. All your projects look lovely, I've been focused on one for the last eleven days so I'm about ready to change projects, thinking about a new start for my birthday which is this coming weekend.
Thanks Rebecca. I would love to do colab videos with proper vendors and promote their product. Unfortunately I'm not influential enough to be noticed yet 😝 New start can be very exciting at the right time. Happy birthday to you! Enjoy your well deserved birthday start! If I don't talk to you, merry Christmas and happy new year. Thanks for watching 😊
There is a Cross stitch supply store I’ve seen started by a Utube in Australia, I think it’s called Daisy Cross stitch or maybe Needlework. She started it a few years ago as she found it a pain to have to order from halfway around the world. I’ll see if I can find the name of her channel, I She hasn’t posted in awhile now.
Are you referring to a product that this store has? I've heard of both stores that you mentioned and the names are a bit different 🤭 Lemme know what you are referring to.
Next time you finish a project in a hoop use Aileen's acid free craft glue to attach the felt on the back of the hoop. Personally I wouldn't deal with those companies because they haven't any problem stealing. Enjoy your time with Mama Floz. See you next month. Patricia
Hahaha I just thought I'd sewn it because otherwise I'd have to buy craft glue. What if I don't use the rest and it dries out or something lol. Anyway, I won't have to worry about finishing something on a hoop for a while at least 😆 See ya!!
Hi, Floz. In regard to being a spokesperson for these companies: Its a slippery slope. You may want to carefully think and decide which companies and products you will support to the community and your loyal followers without compromising your integrity, good name and your "brand" should these companies, and/or products later prove suspect. Enjoy your Mother's visit.
I won't go that far as to say being a spokesperson, but I get it that it's not worth the risk just to get the variety for a video. It's nice to think I have loyal followers 🤣🤣 Nah, I consider everyone just a viewer and a good listener. Hopefully at the same time, I provide worthwhile entertainment. Thanks for sharing your opinions Jasmine 🙂
I guess the difference is, when you buy on Amazon, people consider the seller to be Amazon. If the stuff is directly purchased from the company, the seller will be the company and they are directly supported. A bit of a mental game ay?

I won’t support a company that steals designs from artists.
Enjoy your Mom’s visit.
Fair enough. I don't really want to support that either.
Talk to you soon 🥰
I think the accessories would be fine, they’re all over Amazon so people are buying them anyway

Hi Floz. Love those little dogs! I don't support unethical companies. ⚘️
They look cute but have lost their magic on motivating me to stitch lol
Thanks for watching again 🙂
