    Oh Lauren, you have done so much-first your finishes-I could not ever have done them so beautifully. They’re darling. Your WIPS show great progress. Your account of your first retreat made me feel as though I was right there with you. Momma Flossabilities is very pretty, but of course, she’s YOUR mother after all! Thank you!

      Hi JoAnn! What a lovely comment thank you 😊 I’ve passed your compliments on to mama too! I’m so glad you enjoyed my retreat segment! Not a bad month of progress on my wips but I think I’m doing better this month and can’t wait to show you all at the beginning of Dec! Happy stitching in the meantime! 🧵💗

    Great video, Lauren. The retreat segment was lovely. It brought all the nice memories back. So great to meet you and Mama Flossabilities. Sam and Andrea did a great job. Poor Sami, being ill, but such a trooper.
    I think Natalia's paper weight idea was the best. But all the smalls were so lovely. Mine was a Hallowe'en stitch finished into a box in the shape of a coffin. I think it was from Cross Stitching Smiles and, incidentally, she got mine. (Hope she liked it, I'm not a very good finisher).
    Looking forward to your next flosstube. Happy stitching. ❤❤❤

There were a few swear words muttered under my breath I can tell you 😂 I do get a little daunted at the start but I think the maths helps me. I try and work out when it could actually be finished by if I did so many stitches a day etc and when it nots something crazy like 5 years + I’m like okay and that’s doable. 😂 happy stitching 🧵💗

    Same as you I tend to buy fabric for a specific project but it can be so beautiful and unique it makes sense to grab it whilst you can.
