    I began watching flosstube in 2020. Big surprise there. I watched many when I started but have narrowed my watching down to less than six. I have watched you from the beginning and will continue to do so. You never let me down, beautiful stitching, happy life and delightful couple. Congratulations on the four years. ❤️.

    Wow! Four years of Amy and Gary. How great is that? It was lovely to wake up to an episode this Saturday. My weekend must be spent writing a eulogy, so wish me luck 😶. Our grand fur baby arrived last night, and promptly left a massive deposit on my bedroom floor 😂😂.
    I haven't made any bags this year, although I have some cut out. Your bags are beautiful, and I treasure the one you gave me. It has my Charlotte Warrington kit in it.
    Sending much love to you all, here's to another 4 years ❤❤

    Thank you Amy and Gary for your video. Congratulations to you both on your 4 year anniversary. I can't believe it has been 4 years. My goodness so much stitching and life has happened since that first video. Gary I loved the history portion and I never knew that about the code or the language used,really interesting. Very fitting tribute and thank you for your service. Wonder woman is looking more like herself rather than the outline ,very true. Any fancy woman ,my goodness you seem to be charging through her and it is so nice to see the two bird stitches all finished. I have reinstated a paper diary to keep track of my projects and dates for homework. I decided your rotation is the way to go and it has made life easier. How sweet to have a stitchy buddy. Safe travelling with your PhD and hugs to Bear,Sophie and Summer.

Our granddaughter Charlee just had her first birthday. Her favourite person in the whole world is their puppy Banjo - Australian Kelpie. She loves sharing her dummies with him and he chews them to pieces - mum and dad keep replacing them.....lols

      I love that your granddaughter is growing up with a puppy friend! My first memory is the day we adopted a poodle puppy, and he was with us into my high school years. I think kids who grow up with dogs learn so much from it and get to enjoy a really special relationship.

It's funny you should mention that blank wall because we are in the process of converting Gary's son's old room (that only gets used as a bedroom a couple nights a year) into a sewing room and office for me. It's going to be a great space for me to put out some of my ladies who wouldn't fit the decor of our house. :)
      Hope you and all the family are well. I've been wondering how everyone is doing. Please let me know the next time you will be in the area. I would love to reconnect for a stitchy visit if you have time.

It reminded me of the Bridgerton series on Netflix, just finished watching it ... I love the gowns the ladies wear! Oh wow, the Butterfly pattern is so beautiful, love the colours!! Your travels, pity you don't go to Ethiopia, I am going next February for a conference, would be great to meet you somewhere in Africa :-).

      Thanks, Nicole! I've been holding off on watching the new season of Bridgerton because I know I'll be annoyed that I have to wait for the second half to be released. Just have to hang tight for a little longer and I can indulge in a binge of the whole season. :)
      As it happens, I do go to Ethiopia, though not as often as Kenya. I was just there in November last year for a meeting, and I'm heading back to Rwanda in September this year. We should definitely try to connect somewhere in Africa if the opportunity ever presents! My org. has an office in SA, but my program team doesn't do work there (though I have colleagues based in that office) so I've only passed through Jo-burg on my way to and from other places.
