So happy to see you back, Teresa. Glad you got to spend time with your dad-precious memories you will never forget. I love all of your finishes-beautiful! I hope you do open a shop in the future, cause I only live two hours from Hattiesburg. Road trip! I'm not good with resolutions, but I plan to "focus" on improving my health and of course, organizing all of my stuff! That "organizing" thing is always on my list. I also want to start on my Uffindel charts-so pretty. Happy Stitching! Pam Miller
So happy to see your new video! Looks like you had a really productive year with all of your beautiful finishes! Can’t wait to see your new pieces for market! Resolutions for 2020. Just to be a better me!
Such exciting plans you are pondering, Theresa! And that is a very impressive amount of finishes, especially considering all the time you devote to your shop and your designing. I don't do New Years resolutions, but if I did, I think you choice of 'focus' is a great one!
My focus , new year resolution so to speak...PRAY MORE..WORRY LESS ....saw this quote and it just made me stop and think . So so happy to have found flosstube community. My soul needed to find fun ,creative people .. so Yay ! Please keep showing us your wonderful finishes and inspiring us to continue being creative !
No, I never get sick of being inspired, encouraged and motivated by other stitchers’ awesome finishes!! Congrats on your ribbons. I love the way you stitched CCN Forest Friends. I never started mine, maybe because I wasn’t thrilled with the center square:-) The Prairie Schooler Birds are fabulous! I don’t even remember having that chart in the shop. PS designs are timeless and it will always be among my top ten favorite design companies. See you at Market... Shelly
So many great finishes!! Resolutions to eat healthier again and get back on my path to best health. Looking forward to seeing you at Market!! Yes we are all busy now, I am stitching fast and furious a third model/design to bring with me LOL Love that cat thread keep. Happy New Year!
I was so excited to see you had a new floss tube posted. Always look forward to them. You had a great year of finishes. I don’t make resolutions but will have a few life changing events in 2020. Hope your upcoming adventures work out for you in 2020.
Hi Theresa :) I haven`t watch Flosstube for a long time, didn`t have time at all. So, it`s so good to see you again :) My resolutions for this year are to organize my digital charts and magazines and to stitch all those beautiful designs which were finally kitted up! Yay! :)
Thank you for your video! Always enjoy visiting with you! Loved all your finishes! Hope the brick and mortar shop works out for you! My 2020 resolution is to enjoy every little thing about my life. Appreciate everything. Time is marching on for me, and I just want to happy and content this year. Enjoy the little things!
Teresa...so good to see you and hear your song...Love all your finishes...and happy that you had a great 2019...instead of a New Year’s resolution...I try daily to do my best, love myself, forgive my self, spoil my children and grandchildren, show kindness...I am looking forward to seeing your postings this year and what surprises and treasures you have at market...best wishes for you in 2020❤️
I enjoyed seeing your wonderful finishes. I stopped making resolutions but embrace "my word for the year" concept. Unfortunately that word hasn't settled upon me yet! A funny story I thought you might enjoy. My husband and I were leaving a friend's house one night. They have a table, on their porch, with a bowl of cat food. We step out the door, in the dark, and hear crunching. Mark reaches over to stroke their cat. They flip on the porch light and staring back is an opposum. Mark was within inches of petting it. :-) You are a treasure Theresa!
Hi Theresa, that photo at the end made me laugh so hard! Love all your finishes - so many pretties. I don't have a specific resolution for the year, but want to continue sorting all of my crafting items, which have gradually exploded all over the house.
So good to see you back!!! Loved seeing all your finishes and hearing what you’ve been up to! I don’t do resolutions either, but do usually have a word I try and focus on. This year is renew. Renewed focus, health, and relationships. Learning to let go of things that ultimately don’t matter! Can’t wait to check out the new stuff on the site, and to see your new market pieces!!
I really don't make New Year's Resolutions. Such exciting news and plans for 2020, good luck in all your endeavors! Wow! What awesome finishes in 2019, you must have been stitching and finishing in your sleep. Thanks for sharing and happy stitching!
Your finishes are fabulous; they have inspired me to get busy on finishing some of mine too! I don't make resolutions but my plan this year could also be called a focus because I want to work on WIPs that are ones that I want to finish before I die - ones I would be disappointed that were not done and left for my family. I may have a few new starts but I have so many WIPs with most of them being large samplers so I foresee that taking most of my time. I am going to have to order some of your cat thread keeps too since I am a cat lover. Glad you are doing better healthwise and that you have so many exciting plans for 2020. I look forward to following all of your fun things. Hugs and happy stitching..................
Gung Hay Fat Choy! Very beautiful finishes! I missed you but wonderful that you spent time with your dad, I’ve resolved to do the same with my mom since she can’t travel anymore. One year, we took care of our grandma so my aunt could take a break and go on a long trip. Here’s to a great year for you!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful projects. I made a resolution to start all the BAPs and to work on them all year. I started 7 new cross stitches in January 😂
So nice to see you again! Beautiful finishing and stitching. Being a caregiver for a family member with Alzheimer’s/dementia can be so hard. Happy your mom got to take a trip with friends. (My mom passed at end of August from a form of it.)
It was a treat to see your finishes. Those are impressive considering that you also have your own designs to produce. Best of luck with all of your 2020 plans...
Happy 2020. My New Years resolution is to do one thing each month that I have procrastinated doing. The first project is to paint the kitchen ceiling. We had a dropped soffit removed several years ago and I primed the ceiling but never finished painting it. The next thing I want to get done is to reupholster the little rocking chair that I have from my mother who inherited it from my grandfather. And the list goes on. Thanks for a very motivating video.
Loved visiting with you tonight, Theresa. I loved seeing all of your finishes. Glad you had a good visit with your dad, love the postcard idea. Glad things are going well for market and I'm sure you'll have a great time. I've never been one to make resolutions. I like your word focus for the year. Happy stitching.
I know I'm repeating myself but you amaze me with the amount of stitching you get done! Holy Moly, I feel like I'm standing still, accomplishing nothing. I don 't make resolutions, but I do have "intentions:" My word for the year is Joy. I intend to find Joy in everyday and be thankful for at least 3 things per day. I intend to finish the 4 oldest WIPS in my basket. Never again will I start more than one project. I've always been a monogamist stitcher until I allowed my friends to talk me into stitching multi projects. Disaster! All it did was make me super anxious & shut me down...I stitched nothing! Love all your finishes, super excited to see what you have going for Market, and possibly and brick & mortar store? Yikes! That's a huge undertaking, but if anyone can do it, it's you.
I LOVED seeing all your finishes and will absolutely be making those crumb buns sometime soon. I also really dig the postcard idea and am stealing it to send my grandmother postcards every week - she would love that. I don't really make a resolution but each year I pick a word or phrase to focus my year. Last year was "Choose Your Hard" and this year it is Positivity. Working to keep a positive outlook and assume positive intent when interacting with others.
All your finishes are gorgeous and very inspiring. I have a dozen or so pieces that need FFO’d and you’ve really spurred me on to get them done. That’s really exciting about the shop, I hope it all works out for you.
Wow! You are busy! Loved seeing all your finishes. Some I remember you working on and some I don’t. I do not make new year’s resolutions anymore. I’m retired and just enjoying each day as it comes with stitching, sewing, and if I must, cleaning. Good luck will all your new endeavors and I hope they bring you joy.
Hi there!!!! I have missed you and so glad you did this video!!!! I did not make a New Year's resolution this year. Beautiful punch needle Theresa!!!!! I love all your finishes. We have two opossums in our yard. Thanks for such a great video!!!!
2020 for me as I just turned 60 is self care. We recently lost my Dad (90) but the last few months we had Home Hospice for him and I stayed there quite often to help out my Mom and so glad I did. We heard so many wonderful memories but now the healing has begun so just started aquatic therapy and chair yoga, doing lots of STITCHING and plan on a weeks vacation with my Mom to the beach next month. Your finishes are wonderful and so excited for market releases. Trying to focus on 3 pieces of stitching a month which is difficult when you watch floss tube videos but just marking the ones down I want to stitch for later. Have fun at market.
I have missed watching you! Bet you thought I had disappeared lol. We bought a house last summer and it’s been an all consuming project so I haven’t been stitching at all really. Tonight I have indulged in a couple of hours of stitching and you kept me company ♥️ So glad you had a great year. Overall I would say mine was great too. I haven’t made resolutions in a long time. I make goals - which might as well be resolutions right? My biggest goal is to get this fixer upper done so we can officially move in. Right now we live here without all our stuff - so it’s a lot like camping. I also want to focus on my health. Hope that 2020 is full of positivity and contentment for us all. Xoxo, Jen
So nice to see you again! Thank you for taking the time to spend with us. No resolutions or goals it causes me to much stress;). I’m looking forward to the link for the Crumb Buns!
It was a great visit with you today. My focus on this year is to be more grounded and not all everywhere, to focus on those people and things important in my life. Loved seeing all your fun finishes and I'm loving the your adorable cat threadkeeps! I love that you and your husband are playing WOW Classic together, my husband and I do the same thing but with a different game. I can't wait to see your market adventures with Suzy! Have a great week and happy stitching!
You are so mega talented and I do so enjoy your stitchy tubes! This year I made a simple New Years resolution...no dirty dishes left in the sink when I go to bed! Getting older I started telling myself it’s just one or two, I’ll get them in the morning....until one morning I walked into my kitchen with a sink full of dinner dishes! I’d gotten lazy and promised myself to nip that beginning habit in the bud quick! 🤣🍽 So far ✅ for this month!!
Loved seeing all your finishes. I don’t know how you do it with your wonderful business and all. I have never really been one to make new year resolutions.
I don’t really make new year resolutions. I have decided that this is the year to get off my behind and finally do some of the projects around the house that I keep thinking about doing but never start. Love all your finishes! I just got the reprint of Prairie Schoolers Bird and Berries and love the way you stitched it in all one piece. Thanks for the fabric tip...wasn’t sure what I was gonna use.
Happy to see you back! I don’t usually make resolutions because I forget I made them in just a few weeks😂. However my stitch resolution is to finish 4 WIPS before I start anything new. Making progress❤️
My New Year's Resolution was to stop sweating the small stuff....so far so good...but January isn't over just yet. So glad to hear of your plans for 2020....wishing much continued success. Be well!!
Hi Teresa! Good to see You again and have Your Company as I stitch! Your finishes are always Beautiful, I especially liked the Wool Farm Punch Needle finish, Adorable! I Never, Mean Never make resolutions but I do agree the 2020 should be the Year to Focus!! It Surely Makes Sennse to Me, lol! Thanks for Sharing and hope to hear from You again soon! BTW, I was raised in NY and the Crumb Cake You made looked spot on, I love lots of Crumble, Yummy!!!!!! Hugs & Smiles-Marie
I didn't make any New Year's resolutions, but I did make stitching plans--WIPs I really want to finish, new starts that I am excited about, and wool applique projects I would like to get back into. I recently purchased Maggie Bonanomi's book "A Day at Sunny Brook Farm" from you. I would like to make the muslin dolls from her book, as well as a pumpkin head doll and a rabbit from doll from Liberty Creek Primitives on Etsy. CRUMB BUNS! I love them. They are a New York thing also. I grew up in New York but have lived all over the country including North Dakota for six months in 1975! Thanks, Theresa.
I enjoyed seeing your lovely finishes and I'm looking forward to Maria Phinney coming out! I don't usually make New Year Resolutions, but this year I really need to get serious about my health, a few routine tests that are way overdue, eating better etc.
My resolution was to get organized in my craft room. I alphabetized my charts and organized by holiday. Bought some magazine holders for the charts that were flopping over. And so far, it’s been great to be more organized. And of course to stitch every day! Really enjoy your videos!!
I'm happy to see you back on flosstube! I loved all of your finishes. Instead of resolutions, I always have a word of the year. This year, my word is FUN. I'm trying to step back from overworking, and for doing too much for other people, and do some things that are fun for me!
At 73, I don't make resolutions that I know I won't keep because I'm not restricting myself on anything :) BTW...missed you. Glad you're back. Love all your samplers.
I don't make resolutions, but I do choose a word for the year. My word this year is Peace. I'm feeling the need for some personal peace in a chaotic world. Your videos do help me find that peace. Cross stitch has been my refuge.
My New Year Plans are to sew a silk dupioni doll dress and 2-3 cross stitch pieces to enter in the State Fair of Texas this summer. I also want to sew at least 4 lg. lap quilts for Christmas gifts, make a fancy dress-up Princess dress for my great niece, and love on my newest kitty, Applesauce. YES, that Applesauce! I heard about him on your flosstube video. I offered to adopt him when he became available in Nov. and So. Pines contacted me Jan 3 to see if I still wanted him. I live in central Texas and arrangements were made to get him to me. I am so happy to have Applesauce in our family and he is fitting in great! Thank you for telling us about him !
I don't make New Year's resolutions...unless buying too many charts & stitching as much as humanly possible counts 😉 Loved seeing your finishes...beautiful! And I just started Jenny Bean's Halloween and am in love (and slightly obsessed) with it! ❤
I have a stitching resolution I am trying this year. Focus on one project each week. I have three samplers I really want to finish this year so each gets a week a month. The last week and few days in the month are for whatever: smalls, more time on the main three, or maybe something new.
I make the same resolution each year and have for over 10 years. I resolve to not pass a Salvation Army bucket, a "Save the Pets" cannister, a "Help someone with cancer," or "Help someone who has had a fire" cannister, or any other cannister to put money into to help someone without putting some money into it. I love your videos and wait each time for the next one. :)
It was fun to see all your finishes. I heard someone who said instead of resolutions make intentions. Intentions give you more leeway for, shall we say, backsliding. So my intention this year is to take better care of me through diet, exercise, and sleep, plus lots of stitchy relaxation.
I'm so glad you got to spend so much quality time with your daddy...I know he loved having you there! The "resolution police" probably yelled "not again" when I proclaimed 2020 to be the year of organization! That's my resolution each year and I really do it but as the year wanes one...well you know. Since my tastes in stitching themes have changed I really do need to go through my lugs and weed out instead of storing them!! I'm still wishing I lived closer to drop in and help you...my fingers are itching!!
How could I...I forgot to mention all of your finishes for last year are fantastic...I think your secret to getting everything done is to just give up sleeping!
I am so excited for even the remote possibility of you opening a brick and mortar shop. I live a little over an hour away and my child attends USM. Would be wonderful to be able to meet other local stitchers. I have been trying to find a group to stitch with but have not met anyone with same crafty interests as me. Maybe you can host stitch days at your future shop.
Great finishes, you have been busy. It’s fun to see things done that you shared with us through the year. You’re videos are always wonderful. Sounds like exciting plans and goals this coming year. I don’t make resolutions but I do have some sampler charts that have been in my stash for years I want to start and work on. The first has been His eye is on the sparrow and that is started and I’m having great fun with it. Take care and enjoy springtime.
Loved seeing all of your finishes! I keep the same simple resolutions every year...try one thing new and see a new place. Great seeing a video from you...and of course the kitters! :)
Your finishes are beautiful! I don't make New Years resolutions but I do try to start each year with a fresh, positive outlook and feel like that makes me want to clean things out and organize things around my house.
Nice to see you and Love all your finishes. My New Years Resoulation this year is to not to be so stress out about things and to look after myself by doing more things I love to do like stitching.
Ohmygosh I've missed you! Happy 2020! The last few years all of my resolutions have been stitching related. This year I've resolved to stitch on all of my wips at least once. I have 72 right now, and I've worked on 12 of them so far. Happy stitching! ~Angela
Great to see you again! I will have the stitchy tube song in my head the rest of the day which will make me smile!!! I don't make resolutions because I never follow through. Have a great week. Say hi to Jenn miss seeing her videos.
Well you amazing gal, I choose one word each year & this year is Dwell. I have fallen madly in love with cross stitch after many years...jumped in with a joy...still very pre-school, but so enjoying every moment! I am keeping a journal of sorts, with my starts, purchases, etc...guess that would be a goal. Thank you for all your inspiration & just fun!
I am just trying to get organized first, then I am going to try and finish some WIPs and start some new fun things. I am into making project bags right now and trying to decide if i want to sell them online or not. I am trying out a lot of different styles and designs to see which ones are easy to sew, turn out well and are a good size. I know what you mean about trying something new and not being sure if it’s what you really want to do or not. We will just wait and see! Good luck with Market preparations!
I love all your finishes, but I really love the finish of Oct. 31 by Brenda Gervais. That frame is perfect for it. I don't make resolutions anymore, since I have trouble sticking to them. I like picking one word to lead me in the right direction for the year.
I started back in stitching in earnest in 2018 after just kinda doing it for 25 years. I want to be a little better at keeping track of what I start and when. Just finished in Dec. a piece that I had been working on for over 15 years and am sort of sad I did not keep a record. Many of my new starts are not on aida and therefore I need to be more resolute in my recordkeeping. I guess I have a resolution for the new year!
Teresa- thank you for all that you do. You are a busy lady that adds so much to this community! I am so glad that you are feeling better and hope that your next year brings many blessings. Take care! Shary
No resolution for me this year. I meant to make one, but there were too many things in my head. My Mom, who has Alzheimer's, moved in with me last spring when my Dad passed away. I'm constantly wishing I had more patience, so I guess that should be my resolution? Loved your finishes!
My New Year resolution is to get out of my stitch chair and exercise more. I forget how long I sit and stitch and need to get on my exercise machine more. I finally retired. I finished Garden Vegetable for my daughter for Christmas. It was a fun stitch. I always enjoy your visits! Thank you!
great video Teresa! I didn't make a new years resolution this year. I loved seeing all your finishes thanks for sharing your love of needlework with us
Good to see you back - missed you! My New Year’s resolution went up in smoke. A rough start to the year for me personally but am enjoying a two month stay in Dominican Republic! After that I will be in Tucson for a week and looking forward to my annual trip to “The West” for some NOT needed cross stitch stuff.
It was so wonderful to see you!!! I started watching your videos from the beginning again, so it was great to see your new video pop up. I can't believe how many finishes you had...they all looked wonderful! I'm so glad you got to spend time with your dad. It's all about making memories. What exciting news about opening a shop! If you do, I'll have to start making plans for mom and me to go on a road trip. I hope Christmas was great with both boys home. Good luck at market!
Teresa your finishes are beautiful, of course,and I am inspired to try to stitch some larger pieces this year by seeing yours. I’ve already pulled out a couple of new ones to start. I don’t really do resolutions but I have an ongoing goal of simplifying. I’ve made several trips to the Salvation Army with things I know we don’t use often enough to keep. Now if I can just do that in my sewing room. 😳 Blessings, Marlene
My New Year's resolution that I intend to keep is I am keeping a stitching journal in which i write detailed daily summaries of what i stitched for the day,. This is separate from my normal journal that I use to denote appointments and events. The small stitching journal was purchased at the Dollar Tree.
I like opossums, too. And armadillos. Opossums eat ticks, which I hate, so that works for me! Your finishes are just gorgeous. I need to get busy working on some of my stitching --- maybe this year will be the year I do. I can hope...
My husband and I also play WoW! He's played from the beginning, but he introduced me to it about 10 years ago. I'm a troll hunter and he's an undead mage. It's tons of fun! I had a great time looking at all of your finishes from 2019. They're beautiful!
I don't usually make New Year's resolutions, but I have been trying to be consistent about a bit of exercise each morning. I love Stitchytube, thank you for sharing with us!
You go girl! So many finishes! I enjoy seeing finishes that are unique. Thanks for sharing. Resolutions? I'm trying to finish some of my WIPS knowing full well that come March I will want a few new charts. At least I'm stitching on WIPs in a rotation. I love them all! I don't like possoms. They will eat our chickens. My husband tells of piercing one with a pitch fork and not being able to stomach taking care of him immediately. When he came back he found that it was gone. It had played dead. No blood on the pitchfork. :)
What gorgeous finishes Teresa! Wishing you the very best for your market preparations. My goal for this year is to ease into having more than one wip. I get a bit anxious when I have more than one. So nice you took time to be with your dad. Those postcards are perfect. Take good care 😘❤️ Rebecca
My resolution last year was Focus! Love that you chose it for this year. My 2020 resolution is Self. I am working on taking better care of myself, acknowledging my value, and letting go of those things that no longer serve me. Really excited to see what you have in store for market this year! Loved seeing all your finishes too.
New Year's resolution is clean eating. Have exercise routine down, but I graze unhealthily way too often. Wanted to let you know I finished A Saviour's Praise in Nov. Beautiful, delightful stitch. Thank You!
For the Horde!!! It was so cool to hear you talk about World of Warcraft - I've played for years now and always play the new expansions. Only resolution this year is to stitch and read more.
I play Alliance, but my husband and I did play blood elves some years back. I think we only got up to about level 20. Maybe we'll have to try it out next. :) - T
I hope you open a shop. It's only 148 miles from Gulf Shores where we spend the winter. YAY!!! There are no stores closer than yours would be to our winter home.
My suggestion for your kitchenAid piece is to put it on your fork easel in the kitchen, that would be so cute! My New Years goal is to be more joyful each day and let go of the stressful things.
Loved seeing all your finishes, good job!! I don’t do resolutions, but my motto for the year is, “See The Good.” I would like to try stuffing a pillow with sawdust but don’t know where to buy it, hope you can let me know where I can find it, thanks!!
No resolutions for me.....just keep on the tracks without derailing! Excited about your possible shop. Wish you were in Idaho - there are NO needlework shops anywhere!
It's so good to see you again! I have missed your smiling face!! Busy, busy lady! So enjoyed seeing all of your beautiful finishes. I have the Garden Vegetables chart and darn it, now I want to start that too :) I'm so happy that you got to spend some time with your dad. Dad's are amazing! My 2020 resolution also happens to be Focus. Trying to focus on the important things in life and being more mindful of the little things that bring joy to myself and others. I can't wait to see what you have in store for market....always so exciting! Take care lovely lady and get in lots of hugs with those adorable kitties!
Yay! Welcome back! No resolutions for me. I never keep them. In fact, I'm so silly about them that any new habits I want to start, I start prior to the new year so that they aren't resolutions and I'm more likely to do better. These are the dumb mind games we play with ourselves! It works for me! :) My husband and I used to play WoW together back in the day! It was really a fun thing to do together and we made a lot of friends there that we keep in contact with today. But we were always Horde. For the Horde!
I’m going to focus on my self for once! You always make me smile and I love your company while I stitch! Great video as always! Can’t wait to see your market releases!
This is my first time watching your floss tube! I enjoyed it! My resolutions are to get organized. I have goals for completing some really big projects! I hope to squeeze in some smalls as well! So far January was very productive and I am excited about my progress!
My New Year's resolution is 2020 focus on what I want in my life. I see a theme here for 2020. I don't see a link to the crumb cake recipe. I am thrilled you are back with a new floss tube.
I cannot describe the joy i felt when I saw the notification that you had a a new video! 2019 was a very productive year for you - congratulations! I look forward to what you will share with during 2020.
Congrats on all the finishes! I always love seeing your designs. Good luck at Market!!! My resolution this year is minimize or become more minimalistic . I dont want to go full on minimalist but the idea of not having as much clutter is intriguing and mind clearing
Holy finishes batman! I don't make resolutions; I should use your "focus" one though, as I'm repeating last year's start-itis. Oh well, having fun. Thanks for sharing your talent and information.
Hey Theresa! I’ve been missing you. My New Years Resolution is to not eat or drink after my kids. Their germs are NO GOOD! Harriat Brown is my favorite of your finishes. It’s so simple and tasteful. I will stitch it one day and put one of my ancestor’s names and their birth year on it.
So happy to see you back, Teresa. Glad you got to spend time with your dad-precious memories you will never forget. I love all of your finishes-beautiful! I hope you do open a shop in the future, cause I only live two hours from Hattiesburg. Road trip! I'm not good with resolutions, but I plan to "focus" on improving my health and of course, organizing all of my stuff! That "organizing" thing is always on my list. I also want to start on my Uffindel charts-so pretty. Happy Stitching! Pam Miller
So happy to see your new video! Looks like you had a really productive year with all of your beautiful finishes! Can’t wait to see your new pieces for market! Resolutions for 2020. Just to be a better me!
Such exciting plans you are pondering, Theresa! And that is a very impressive amount of finishes, especially considering all the time you devote to your shop and your designing. I don't do New Years resolutions, but if I did, I think you choice of 'focus' is a great one!
My focus , new year resolution so to speak...PRAY MORE..WORRY LESS ....saw this quote and it just made me stop and think .
So so happy to have found flosstube community. My soul needed to find fun ,creative people .. so Yay ! Please keep showing us your wonderful finishes and inspiring us to continue being creative !
No, I never get sick of being inspired, encouraged and motivated by other stitchers’ awesome finishes!! Congrats on your ribbons. I love the way you stitched CCN Forest Friends. I never started mine, maybe because I wasn’t thrilled with the center square:-) The Prairie Schooler Birds are fabulous! I don’t even remember having that chart in the shop. PS designs are timeless and it will always be among my top ten favorite design companies. See you at Market... Shelly
So many great finishes!! Resolutions to eat healthier again and get back on my path to best health. Looking forward to seeing you at Market!! Yes we are all busy now, I am stitching fast and furious a third model/design to bring with me LOL Love that cat thread keep. Happy New Year!
I was so excited to see you had a new floss tube posted. Always look forward to them. You had a great year of finishes. I don’t make resolutions but will have a few life changing events in 2020. Hope your upcoming adventures work out for you in 2020.
Hi Theresa :) I haven`t watch Flosstube for a long time, didn`t have time at all. So, it`s so good to see you again :) My resolutions for this year are to organize my digital charts and magazines and to stitch all those beautiful designs which were finally kitted up! Yay! :)
Thank you for your video! Always enjoy visiting with you! Loved all your finishes! Hope the brick and mortar shop works out for you! My 2020 resolution is to enjoy every little thing about my life. Appreciate everything. Time is marching on for me, and I just want to happy and content this year. Enjoy the little things!
Teresa...so good to see you and hear your song...Love all your finishes...and happy that you had a great 2019...instead of a New Year’s resolution...I try daily to do my best, love myself, forgive my self, spoil my children and grandchildren, show kindness...I am looking forward to seeing your postings this year and what surprises and treasures you have at market...best wishes for you in 2020❤️
I enjoyed seeing your wonderful finishes. I stopped making resolutions but embrace "my word for the year" concept. Unfortunately that word hasn't settled upon me yet! A funny story I thought you might enjoy. My husband and I were leaving a friend's house one night. They have a table, on their porch, with a bowl of cat food. We step out the door, in the dark, and hear crunching. Mark reaches over to stroke their cat. They flip on the porch light and staring back is an opposum. Mark was within inches of petting it. :-) You are a treasure Theresa!
Hi Theresa, that photo at the end made me laugh so hard! Love all your finishes - so many pretties. I don't have a specific resolution for the year, but want to continue sorting all of my crafting items, which have gradually exploded all over the house.
Hi Teresa. Loved seeing all your 2019 finishes. Great projects. Looking forward to Maria Philpot and all your market releases.
So good to see you back!!! Loved seeing all your finishes and hearing what you’ve been up to! I don’t do resolutions either, but do usually have a word I try and focus on. This year is renew. Renewed focus, health, and relationships. Learning to let go of things that ultimately don’t matter! Can’t wait to check out the new stuff on the site, and to see your new market pieces!!
I really don't make New Year's Resolutions. Such exciting news and plans for 2020, good luck in all your endeavors! Wow! What awesome finishes in 2019, you must have been stitching and finishing in your sleep. Thanks for sharing and happy stitching!
Your finishes are fabulous; they have inspired me to get busy on finishing some of mine too! I don't make resolutions but my plan this year could also be called a focus because I want to work on WIPs that are ones that I want to finish before I die - ones I would be disappointed that were not done and left for my family. I may have a few new starts but I have so many WIPs with most of them being large samplers so I foresee that taking most of my time. I am going to have to order some of your cat thread keeps too since I am a cat lover. Glad you are doing better healthwise and that you have so many exciting plans for 2020. I look forward to following all of your fun things. Hugs and happy stitching..................
Gung Hay Fat Choy! Very beautiful finishes! I missed you but wonderful that you spent time with your dad, I’ve resolved to do the same with my mom since she can’t travel anymore. One year, we took care of our grandma so my aunt could take a break and go on a long trip. Here’s to a great year for you!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful projects. I made a resolution to start all the BAPs and to work on them all year. I started 7 new cross stitches in January 😂
So nice to see you again! Beautiful finishing and stitching. Being a caregiver for a family member with Alzheimer’s/dementia can be so hard. Happy your mom got to take a trip with friends. (My mom passed at end of August from a form of it.)
It was a treat to see your finishes. Those are impressive considering that you also have your own designs to produce. Best of luck with all of your 2020 plans...
Happy 2020. My New Years resolution is to do one thing each month that I have procrastinated doing. The first project is to paint the kitchen ceiling. We had a dropped soffit removed several years ago and I primed the ceiling but never finished painting it. The next thing I want to get done is to reupholster the little rocking chair that I have from my mother who inherited it from my grandfather. And the list goes on. Thanks for a very motivating video.
Loved visiting with you tonight, Theresa. I loved seeing all of your finishes. Glad you had a good visit with your dad, love the postcard idea. Glad things are going well for market and I'm sure you'll have a great time. I've never been one to make resolutions. I like your word focus for the year. Happy stitching.
I know I'm repeating myself but you amaze me with the amount of stitching you get done! Holy Moly, I feel like I'm standing still, accomplishing nothing. I don 't make resolutions, but I do have "intentions:" My word for the year is Joy. I intend to find Joy in everyday and be thankful for at least 3 things per day. I intend to finish the 4 oldest WIPS in my basket. Never again will I start more than one project. I've always been a monogamist stitcher until I allowed my friends to talk me into stitching multi projects. Disaster! All it did was make me super anxious & shut me down...I stitched nothing! Love all your finishes, super excited to see what you have going for Market, and possibly and brick & mortar store? Yikes! That's a huge undertaking, but if anyone can do it, it's you.
I LOVED seeing all your finishes and will absolutely be making those crumb buns sometime soon. I also really dig the postcard idea and am stealing it to send my grandmother postcards every week - she would love that. I don't really make a resolution but each year I pick a word or phrase to focus my year. Last year was "Choose Your Hard" and this year it is Positivity. Working to keep a positive outlook and assume positive intent when interacting with others.
All your finishes are gorgeous and very inspiring. I have a dozen or so pieces that need FFO’d and you’ve really spurred me on to get them done.
That’s really exciting about the shop, I hope it all works out for you.
Wow! You are busy! Loved seeing all your finishes. Some I remember you working on and some I don’t. I do not make new year’s resolutions anymore. I’m retired and just enjoying each day as it comes with stitching, sewing, and if I must, cleaning. Good luck will all your new endeavors and I hope they bring you joy.
Hi there!!!! I have missed you and so glad you did this video!!!! I did not make a New Year's resolution this year. Beautiful punch needle Theresa!!!!! I love all your finishes. We have two opossums in our yard. Thanks for such a great video!!!!
2020 for me as I just turned 60 is self care. We recently lost my Dad (90) but the last few months we had Home Hospice for him and I stayed there quite often to help out my Mom and so glad I did. We heard so many wonderful memories but now the healing has begun so just started aquatic therapy and chair yoga, doing lots of STITCHING and plan on a weeks vacation with my Mom to the beach next month. Your finishes are wonderful and so excited for market releases. Trying to focus on 3 pieces of stitching a month which is difficult when you watch floss tube videos but just marking the ones down I want to stitch for later. Have fun at market.
I have missed watching you! Bet you thought I had disappeared lol. We bought a house last summer and it’s been an all consuming project so I haven’t been stitching at all really. Tonight I have indulged in a couple of hours of stitching and you kept me company ♥️ So glad you had a great year. Overall I would say mine was great too. I haven’t made resolutions in a long time. I make goals - which might as well be resolutions right? My biggest goal is to get this fixer upper done so we can officially move in. Right now we live here without all our stuff - so it’s a lot like camping. I also want to focus on my health. Hope that 2020 is full of positivity and contentment for us all. Xoxo, Jen
So nice to see you again! Thank you for taking the time to spend with us. No resolutions or goals it causes me to much stress;). I’m looking forward to the link for the Crumb Buns!
It was a great visit with you today. My focus on this year is to be more grounded and not all everywhere, to focus on those people and things important in my life. Loved seeing all your fun finishes and I'm loving the your adorable cat threadkeeps! I love that you and your husband are playing WOW Classic together, my husband and I do the same thing but with a different game. I can't wait to see your market adventures with Suzy! Have a great week and happy stitching!
You are so mega talented and I do so enjoy your stitchy tubes! This year I made a simple New Years resolution...no dirty dishes left in the sink when I go to bed! Getting older I started telling myself it’s just one or two, I’ll get them in the morning....until one morning I walked into my kitchen with a sink full of dinner dishes! I’d gotten lazy and promised myself to nip that beginning habit in the bud quick! 🤣🍽 So far ✅ for this month!!
Loved seeing all your finishes. I don’t know how you do it with your wonderful business and all. I have never really been one to make new year resolutions.
I don’t really make new year resolutions. I have decided that this is the year to get off my behind and finally do some of the projects around the house that I keep thinking about doing but never start. Love all your finishes! I just got the reprint of Prairie Schoolers Bird and Berries and love the way you stitched it in all one piece. Thanks for the fabric tip...wasn’t sure what I was gonna use.
Happy to see you back! I don’t usually make resolutions because I forget I made them in just a few weeks😂. However my stitch resolution is to finish 4 WIPS before I start anything new. Making progress❤️
My New Year's Resolution was to stop sweating the small stuff....so far so good...but January isn't over just yet. So glad to hear of your plans for 2020....wishing much continued success. Be well!!
Hi Teresa! Good to see You again and have Your Company as I stitch! Your finishes are always Beautiful, I especially liked the Wool Farm Punch Needle finish, Adorable! I Never, Mean Never make resolutions but I do agree the 2020 should be the Year to Focus!! It Surely Makes Sennse to Me, lol! Thanks for Sharing and hope to hear from You again soon! BTW, I was raised in NY and the Crumb Cake You made looked spot on, I love lots of Crumble, Yummy!!!!!! Hugs & Smiles-Marie
I didn't make any New Year's resolutions, but I did make stitching plans--WIPs I really want to finish, new starts that I am excited about, and wool applique projects I would like to get back into. I recently purchased Maggie Bonanomi's book "A Day at Sunny Brook Farm" from you. I would like to make the muslin dolls from her book, as well as a pumpkin head doll and a rabbit from doll from Liberty Creek Primitives on Etsy. CRUMB BUNS! I love them. They are a New York thing also. I grew up in New York but have lived all over the country including North Dakota for six months in 1975! Thanks, Theresa.
I enjoyed seeing your lovely finishes and I'm looking forward to Maria Phinney coming out! I don't usually make New Year Resolutions, but this year I really need to get serious about my health, a few routine tests that are way overdue, eating better etc.
My resolution was to get organized in my craft room. I alphabetized my charts and organized by holiday. Bought some magazine holders for the charts that were flopping over. And so far, it’s been great to be more organized. And of course to stitch every day! Really enjoy your videos!!
I'm happy to see you back on flosstube! I loved all of your finishes. Instead of resolutions, I always have a word of the year. This year, my word is FUN. I'm trying to step back from overworking, and for doing too much for other people, and do some things that are fun for me!
Love your finishes! I also picked the word Focus for the year. I have so many big projects that need to be completed. Need to clear the slate some.
At 73, I don't make resolutions that I know I won't keep because I'm not restricting myself on anything :) BTW...missed you. Glad you're back. Love all your samplers.
I don't make resolutions, but I do choose a word for the year. My word this year is Peace. I'm feeling the need for some personal peace in a chaotic world. Your videos do help me find that peace. Cross stitch has been my refuge.
My New Year Plans are to sew a silk dupioni doll dress and 2-3 cross stitch pieces to enter in the State Fair of Texas this summer. I also want to sew at least 4 lg. lap quilts for Christmas gifts, make a fancy dress-up Princess dress for my great niece, and love on my newest kitty, Applesauce. YES, that Applesauce! I heard about him on your flosstube video. I offered to adopt him when he became available in Nov. and So. Pines contacted me Jan 3 to see if I still wanted him. I live in central Texas and arrangements were made to get him to me. I am so happy to have Applesauce in our family and he is fitting in great! Thank you for telling us about him !
Margaret Goodman WHAT????? How is he doing??? Email me pictures, and I’ll share on my next video.
I don't make New Year's resolutions...unless buying too many charts & stitching as much as humanly possible counts 😉
Loved seeing your finishes...beautiful! And I just started Jenny Bean's Halloween and am in love (and slightly obsessed) with it! ❤
I have a stitching resolution I am trying this year. Focus on one project each week. I have three samplers I really want to finish this year so each gets a week a month. The last week and few days in the month are for whatever: smalls, more time on the main three, or maybe something new.
I make the same resolution each year and have for over 10 years. I resolve to not pass a Salvation Army bucket, a "Save the Pets" cannister, a "Help someone with cancer," or "Help someone who has had a fire" cannister, or any other cannister to put money into to help someone without putting some money into it. I love your videos and wait each time for the next one. :)
It was fun to see all your finishes. I heard someone who said instead of resolutions make intentions. Intentions give you more leeway for, shall we say, backsliding. So my intention this year is to take better care of me through diet, exercise, and sleep, plus lots of stitchy relaxation.
I'm so glad you got to spend so much quality time with your daddy...I know he loved having you there! The "resolution police" probably yelled "not again" when I proclaimed 2020 to be the year of organization! That's my resolution each year and I really do it but as the year wanes one...well you know. Since my tastes in stitching themes have changed I really do need to go through my lugs and weed out instead of storing them!! I'm still wishing I lived closer to drop in and help you...my fingers are itching!!
How could I...I forgot to mention all of your finishes for last year are fantastic...I think your secret to getting everything done is to just give up sleeping!
Please pass on to Mr Zero that I just received my package he mailed...all in great shape!
I am so excited for even the remote possibility of you opening a brick and mortar shop. I live a little over an hour away and my child attends USM. Would be wonderful to be able to meet other local stitchers. I have been trying to find a group to stitch with but have not met anyone with same crafty interests as me. Maybe you can host stitch days at your future shop.
Great finishes, you have been busy. It’s fun to see things done that you shared with us through the year. You’re videos are always wonderful. Sounds like exciting plans and goals this coming year.
I don’t make resolutions but I do have some sampler charts that have been in my stash for years I want to start and work on. The first has been His eye is on the sparrow and that is started and I’m having great fun with it. Take care and enjoy springtime.
Loved seeing all of your finishes! I keep the same simple resolutions every year...try one thing new and see a new place. Great seeing a video from you...and of course the kitters! :)
Your finishes are beautiful! I don't make New Years resolutions but I do try to start each year with a fresh, positive outlook and feel like that makes me want to clean things out and organize things around my house.
Nice to see you and Love all your finishes. My New Years Resoulation this year is to not to be so stress out about things and to look after myself by doing more things I love to do like stitching.
Ohmygosh I've missed you! Happy 2020! The last few years all of my resolutions have been stitching related. This year I've resolved to stitch on all of my wips at least once. I have 72 right now, and I've worked on 12 of them so far. Happy stitching! ~Angela
Great to see you back! I don’t make resolutions because I always broke them😂. Love seeing all your many finishes 💕Michele
Great to see you again! I will have the stitchy tube song in my head the rest of the day which will make me smile!!! I don't make resolutions because I never follow through. Have a great week. Say hi to Jenn miss seeing her videos.
Well you amazing gal, I choose one word each year & this year is Dwell. I have fallen madly in love with cross stitch after many years...jumped in with a joy...still very pre-school, but so enjoying every moment! I am keeping a journal of sorts, with my starts, purchases, etc...guess that would be a goal. Thank you for all your inspiration & just fun!
I am just trying to get organized first, then I am going to try and finish some WIPs and start some new fun things. I am into making project bags right now and trying to decide if i want to sell them online or not. I am trying out a lot of different styles and designs to see which ones are easy to sew, turn out well and are a good size. I know what you mean about trying something new and not being sure if it’s what you really want to do or not. We will just wait and see! Good luck with Market preparations!
Great seeing you!! All of your finishes are just beautiful!!! Looking forward to seeing what you've designed for marker this year!
😊♥️
I love all your finishes, but I really love the finish of Oct. 31 by Brenda Gervais. That frame is perfect for it. I don't make resolutions anymore, since I have trouble sticking to them. I like picking one word to lead me in the right direction for the year.
I started back in stitching in earnest in 2018 after just kinda doing it for 25 years. I want to be a little better at keeping track of what I start and when. Just finished in Dec. a piece that I had been working on for over 15 years and am sort of sad I did not keep a record. Many of my new starts are not on aida and therefore I need to be more resolute in my recordkeeping. I guess I have a resolution for the new year!
Teresa- thank you for all that you do. You are a busy lady that adds so much to this community! I am so glad that you are feeling better and hope that your next year brings many blessings. Take care! Shary
No resolution for me this year. I meant to make one, but there were too many things in my head. My Mom, who has Alzheimer's, moved in with me last spring when my Dad passed away. I'm constantly wishing I had more patience, so I guess that should be my resolution? Loved your finishes!
My New Year resolution is to get out of my stitch chair and exercise more. I forget how long I sit and stitch and need to get on my exercise machine more. I finally retired. I finished Garden Vegetable for my daughter for Christmas. It was a fun stitch. I always enjoy your visits! Thank you!
great video Teresa! I didn't make a new years resolution this year. I loved seeing all your finishes thanks for sharing your love of needlework with us
Good to see you back - missed you! My New Year’s resolution went up in smoke. A rough start to the year for me personally but am enjoying a two month stay in Dominican Republic! After that I will be in Tucson for a week and looking forward to my annual trip to “The West” for some NOT needed cross stitch stuff.
It was so wonderful to see you!!! I started watching your videos from the beginning again, so it was great to see your new video pop up. I can't believe how many finishes you had...they all looked wonderful! I'm so glad you got to spend time with your dad. It's all about making memories. What exciting news about opening a shop! If you do, I'll have to start making plans for mom and me to go on a road trip. I hope Christmas was great with both boys home. Good luck at market!
Finish what I start - not just in cross stitch, but in all areas of my life. I enjoyed your year’s review. Thanks.
Teresa your finishes are beautiful, of course,and I am inspired to try to stitch some larger pieces this year by seeing yours. I’ve already pulled out a couple of new ones to start. I don’t really do resolutions but I have an ongoing goal of simplifying. I’ve made several trips to the Salvation Army with things I know we don’t use often enough to keep. Now if I can just do that in my sewing room. 😳 Blessings, Marlene
Wow, you had a very busy year! I didn't make a New Years resolution this year. I love the border on
Louisa Horsey. The wool farm is super cute!
My New Year's resolution that I intend to keep is I am keeping a stitching journal in which i write detailed daily summaries of what i stitched for the day,. This is separate from my normal journal that I use to denote appointments and events. The small stitching journal was purchased at the Dollar Tree.
I like opossums, too. And armadillos. Opossums eat ticks, which I hate, so that works for me! Your finishes are just gorgeous. I need to get busy working on some of my stitching --- maybe this year will be the year I do. I can hope...
My husband and I also play WoW! He's played from the beginning, but he introduced me to it about 10 years ago. I'm a troll hunter and he's an undead mage. It's tons of fun! I had a great time looking at all of your finishes from 2019. They're beautiful!
Your stitching is so wonderful to see!!! I enjoy seeing others stitchy progress and ffo's!! :-)
I don't usually make New Year's resolutions, but I have been trying to be consistent about a bit of exercise each morning. I love Stitchytube, thank you for sharing with us!
You go girl! So many finishes! I enjoy seeing finishes that are unique. Thanks for sharing. Resolutions? I'm trying to finish some of my WIPS knowing full well that come March I will want a few new charts. At least I'm stitching on WIPs in a rotation. I love them all! I don't like possoms. They will eat our chickens. My husband tells of piercing one with a pitch fork and not being able to stomach taking care of him immediately. When he came back he found that it was gone. It had played dead. No blood on the pitchfork. :)
What gorgeous finishes Teresa! Wishing you the very best for your market preparations. My goal for this year is to ease into having more than one wip. I get a bit anxious when I have more than one. So nice you took time to be with your dad. Those postcards are perfect. Take good care 😘❤️ Rebecca
My resolution last year was Focus! Love that you chose it for this year. My 2020 resolution is Self. I am working on taking better care of myself, acknowledging my value, and letting go of those things that no longer serve me. Really excited to see what you have in store for market this year! Loved seeing all your finishes too.
Your finishes are awesome. The punch needle is one of my favorites too. I didn't make a resolution this year.
New Year's resolution is clean eating. Have exercise routine down, but I graze unhealthily way too often. Wanted to let you know I finished A Saviour's Praise in Nov. Beautiful, delightful stitch. Thank You!
For the Horde!!! It was so cool to hear you talk about World of Warcraft - I've played for years now and always play the new expansions. Only resolution this year is to stitch and read more.
I play Alliance, but my husband and I did play blood elves some years back. I think we only got up to about level 20. Maybe we'll have to try it out next. :) - T
@@KittenStitcher I play a blood elf warlock. I might have to set aside a day for WoW or it'll cut into my stitching time.
I hope you open a shop. It's only 148 miles from Gulf Shores where we spend the winter. YAY!!! There are no stores closer than yours would be to our winter home.
My suggestion for your kitchenAid piece is to put it on your fork easel in the kitchen, that would be so cute! My New Years goal is to be more joyful each day and let go of the stressful things.
Loved seeing all your finishes, good job!! I don’t do resolutions, but my motto for the year is, “See The Good.” I would like to try stuffing a pillow with sawdust but don’t know where to buy it, hope you can let me know where I can find it, thanks!!
I found some at our local hardware store. They just gave me some. But I know someone who works at a mill. :)
No resolutions for me.....just keep on the tracks without derailing! Excited about your possible shop. Wish you were in Idaho - there are NO needlework shops anywhere!
I don't make resolutions, tend to be more of a weekly goals and list person. Thanks for sharing all your finishes - lots of good eye candy :-).
It's so good to see you again! I have missed your smiling face!! Busy, busy lady! So enjoyed seeing all of your beautiful finishes. I have the Garden Vegetables chart and darn it, now I want to start that too :) I'm so happy that you got to spend some time with your dad. Dad's are amazing! My 2020 resolution also happens to be Focus. Trying to focus on the important things in life and being more mindful of the little things that bring joy to myself and others. I can't wait to see what you have in store for market....always so exciting! Take care lovely lady and get in lots of hugs with those adorable kitties!
I do not make New Year's resolutions. Enjoyed seeing you again! Also, you knocked it out of the park with your design in the Winter issue of PNPS!
Yay! Welcome back! No resolutions for me. I never keep them. In fact, I'm so silly about them that any new habits I want to start, I start prior to the new year so that they aren't resolutions and I'm more likely to do better. These are the dumb mind games we play with ourselves! It works for me! :) My husband and I used to play WoW together back in the day! It was really a fun thing to do together and we made a lot of friends there that we keep in contact with today. But we were always Horde. For the Horde!
Alita Casey my husband and I played blood elves for a while! I’m more of an Alliance girl, though.....
@@KittenStitcher Oh well I suppose we can still be friends ;)
I’m going to focus on my self for once! You always make me smile and I love your company while I stitch! Great video as always! Can’t wait to see your market releases!
This is my first time watching your floss tube! I enjoyed it! My resolutions are to get organized. I have goals for completing some really big projects! I hope to squeeze in some smalls as well! So far January was very productive and I am excited about my progress!
My New Year's resolution is 2020 focus on what I want in my life. I see a theme here for 2020. I don't see a link to the crumb cake recipe. I am thrilled you are back with a new floss tube.
I cannot describe the joy i felt when I saw the notification that you had a a new video! 2019 was a very productive year for you - congratulations! I look forward to what you will share with during 2020.
Congrats on all the finishes! I always love seeing your designs. Good luck at Market!!!
My resolution this year is minimize or become more minimalistic . I dont want to go full on minimalist but the idea of not having as much clutter is intriguing and mind clearing
Loved all your finishes. Good luck at market. Safe travels. I don’t do resolutions.
It’s so good to see your face!! I’m glad your 2019 was amazing. And I can’t wait to see your 2020 be EVEN BETTER
Holy finishes batman! I don't make resolutions; I should use your "focus" one though, as I'm repeating last year's start-itis. Oh well, having fun. Thanks for sharing your talent and information.
Hey Theresa! I’ve been missing you.
My New Years Resolution is to not eat or drink after my kids. Their germs are NO GOOD!
Harriat Brown is my favorite of your finishes. It’s so simple and tasteful. I will stitch it one day and put one of my ancestor’s names and their birth year on it.
