Love the mermaids project but the bag is fantastic! All your projects are!
So enjoyed your treasure sharing.
I love your choices for patterns - great stitching. I'm glad I found you on Floss Tube - keep on stitching!
I enjoyed your first floss tube video. Great Job! Your cross stitch projects are delightful! Thanks for sharing. From Colorado...USA
Enjoyed spending time with you today. Lots of fun pieces and plans. Love the Dust bunnies behind you which i guess is diamond painting. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. x
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Love your Mirabilia. Stunning! I am from U.S. my daughter loves where you are. She is a NP and her husband is a detective there. Small world
Great Video....you're a natural.
Hi Tammy. Great video. Welcome to Flosstube. Your Mirabilia is stunning. I love it. Your other WIPs look great as well especially those little owls. I stitch on both Aida and linen. 💕
Wow your first video, you did fantastic.
That Alice and Wonderland one is going to look *so cool* on dark fabric, can't wait to see it!
I'm going to do the same Mermaid of Atlantis! I've got a viewer who commented she's doing it to and thought about a SAL - I was thinking something for Mer-May, maybe.
@@districtstitcher Oooooo I love that idea of a Mer-may that's so cool, you'll have to show me your progress on her, she's a lot of fun 😊
Welcome to flosstube. I havent gotten the courage to make my own vids yet. I live vicariously thru all of the flosstubers. Your cross stitch is gorgeous! I cant wait for more vids. I love to stitch on aida! If you seriously dont like it, I would take it off your hands.
So glad to have found your video. Love watching Aussie stitchers. I’m also in Perth, north :)
Welcome to floss tube. Hello from Minnesota, USA. Lots of snow here. Love your projects. The fabric that you tea died would be great for the Laby of the Mist.
Great work Tammy, love your projects. I’m an Aussie living in Vic. I have done heaps of knitted clowns and the only one I have kept is the gardening one which stands in my sewing room. Keep up the great work.
There's so many cool clown's out there hehe I just want to knit them all 😊
Beautiful projects and a great first flosstube. You did a great job. I'd love that piece of 14 ct as I still like aida for some projects. Am going to go watch your second video now!
Thanks! On my 3rd video I will talk about how to obtain the fabric as I don't want to risk having scammers and trolls out to get you...so stay tuned for flosstube 3 and I'll tell you how to get it! 😊
Hi your work is lovely
Hello there 😊 I heard about your channel from Hygge Stitcher, and I am glad I did! I liked very much your first episode! I am a stitcher, knitter, and crocheter. I'd thought many times about diamond painting, but I don't think I have the space for it, so I haven't tried that. The design you had behind you with the dragon, and the dust bunnies is a design I really like. When I was thinking of trying my first HAED that was the first candidate, but in the end I chose the "Trick or Treat 2", which is an other design from Randal Spangler.
Also, thanks a lot for showing your project bags. I love project bags. I just started making my own, and I love looking at all the different fabric combination everyone is choosing.
The fabric you chose for your mermaid it will work fine, in my opinion.
So, thanks again for the great video! I am going to watch the rest of them now, looking forward to seeing the progress on your beautiful projects 🧵🪡🧶
Hello Tammy 😊Thank you for the mention and the tag so I could find you!! I enjoyed your video on the weekend and it was wonderful to get to know you. Welcome to flosstube🎉 I have subscribed and will be following your progress. I must start adding my name to my finishes, I keep forgetting to do this! I loved all your projects and I hope to see you again soon. -Samantha 🦋
Oh my gosh HI!! Hehe I have been watching you from the beginning (Can't believe you are talking to me - fan girl sigh 😯😆😉) Thank you so much. 🥰
You have some beautiful pieces! Being a multi crafter myself I love to see the other things you do too. As for socks, I usually knit two at a time so I am sure to have a matching pair finished when I am done.
I kind of like the idea of one of a kind socks though
One of my viewers told me about your channel since I like moon stuff too - I did new moon new start all last year 🌑😄 this was a great first video! 👏
Welcome!
The placement of your mermaid on that fabric is just brilliantl! I look forward to watching her grow.
I agree! That was perfect, looks just like the light hitting her face. ,❤️
Hello from Adelaide. Welcome and congratulations on your first youtube video. Loved your Christmas Queen and the Mermaid will look fantastic on that fabric with that placement. The trick to not having 2nd sock syndrome, is to cast on the 2nd sock as soon as you finish the first sock. I love knitting socks. Your toys look great. I do cross stitching, knitting, crochet and some diamond painting Looking forward to seeing your future videos and projects.
Thanks Debbie 😊Ahh that's a good idea, I'll have to remember that when I finish the first one 😉There's so many cool sock patterns out there I just want to knit them all! Love hearing all the different crafts people do its great! 😆
I like your color way better on the Fairy Garden, too. That was my first impression when you showed the pattern picture. I too am in love with autumn colors, but I love smalls for instant gratification and works well for grouping in holiday displays. You have some lovely pieces. I was drawn to your UA-cam channel by the owl picture in your thumbnail. Owls are my spirit animal. If you could find the name of the pattern I would be very grateful. I am from Wisconsin in USA. Thank you.
Hi Tammy I am from Busselton and it is difficult to source patterns fabrics local, Stitches Corner in Perth has just been sold and the shop is moving to Balcatta and will reopen the end of February with an online shop 🤗 as well , I have just started back into cross stitch and quite a novice but like you enjoy other crafts e.g knitting etc I have bought patterns from a Stitch in Time and also Crewel Goblin in Sydney . I enjoyed watching and hearing an Aussie accent
For your fairy pattern, La La Dee Stitches does some really pretty "soft" finishes - just fabric bordered quilted wall hangings, and that could look really pretty, especially since it doesn't have a huge margin. It's so pretty!
...and I literally just got to the part where you said you're going to do that. I should finish watching before I comment! LOL!
@@districtstitcher hahah no worries! Yea i'm thinking of a soft finish and you're right though La La Dee does some gorgeous finishes.😁
Hi , new to your channel. Royal Holiday is amazing. Very tempting to find and stitch her. If you still have the 14 count Adia, I do still enjoy stitching on it. Thanks Ms. Willette
Hi from Barnsley South Yorkshire in the UK
Hi Tammy! Amazing first Flosstube, it was so great to hear about your stitching and knitting. It’s always so nice to find another Aussie stitcher 😊 I’m in Victoria, so pretty far away, but at least the same country hahaha. Looking forward to your future flosstubes. Feel free to message anytime to chat! Happy stitching 🥰
I LOVE hearing a fellow Aussie on YT! What a great first video 😊
You should be proud of your lady she is outstanding! Enjoyed your first flosstube, you are a natural!
New to your flosstube I’m in TeXaS cross stitching since 1981 use to paint and ceramics pottery then I had a little girl you don’t that kind stuff 👩🍼then an Air Force family
Moved to our city she taught me cross stitch our girls were 3 mos Apart 🪡🧵🪡🧵🐾🤠♥️🇺🇸💙
Congrats on first floss tube hello from Adelaide S A if no one else put there hands up would love the 14 count aida please cant do linen as I cant see that well and need the structure of aida to be able to stitch cant wait to see your next update
Happy belated birthday - we share a birthday!! 🎉
hehe happy belated birthday to you too!! 😆🥳
You are delightfull and I look forward to your next video.
Enjoyed your flosstube and look forward to #2. Here's an idea for the Alice in Wonderland stitching you've done on the 14 count. How about making part of the stitching into a focus part of a project bag??? Your stitching is lovely and the projects you've chosen are inspiring.
That's a great idea thank you! 😊
Great first video!! Royal Holiday is gorgeous. Well done! I have the Autumn Lane pattern. I need to get the fabric picked out, and I’d love to SAL with you.
Sounds great! I would love to do it with someone😄...I'm still waiting for a few threads (Which hopefully will arrive in another couple of weeks) so let me know when you made a choice, and we can do it together. 😊
I love your project bags. I have over 25 of them, I can’t get enough of them
The Royal Holiday and the mermaid are beautiful!!!💕💕
Welcome to flosstube! Your Christmas queen is GORGEOUS!
Great first Flosstube! You have beautiful stitching and beautiful finishes.
Welcome and hello from South West WA! Can’t wait to follow your stitch journey 😊
Your fairies is beautiful, love the colors, The mermaid is placed so lovely. When you mentioned you painted, I thought that's why she uses color so well. Keep up the good work. You are a flosstube natural,
Hello from Brisbane. You've given me inspiration to start my owls. I like to think of them as tawny owls. 🦉🦉
Welcome to the community! Fab projects, the owls are so gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing your cross stitch journey!! Jen
Congratulations on your first FlossTube you did an amazing job. Love all your stitching they are beautiful. I love your color conversion on your fairy finish, great job. Can’t wait for more videos.
REALLY enjoyed watching you -- very excited to see you again!
Hello from Palm Coast Florida! Your mermaid is beautiful- she is going to be stunning! Your wips are coming along and I can’t wait to see your progress on them. Happy stitching!
That was a great 1st flosstube. I'm looking forward to the next one. You have lovely WIPs. Happy stitching and knitting!
I just love the work you were doing
Hi Tammy congratulations on your first flosstube.
Hi Tammy! You’re a ray of sunshine, I love your spirit. I’m a flosstuber as well and I’d love to be stitchy friends. You’re stitching style is so lovely and I have to admit, I paused the video six minutes in and immediately purchased that fairy book. Your first finish is so stunning and I literally gasped when you showed it to us. I’m looking forward to following your stitchy progress!
Great floss tube I always do a floss toss with the material and beads that will help when you question a material. Love your work and I do not knit but enjoyed sharing your cute toys and sock. Very talented lady
Lovely to meet you!
What fun stitches you have going. I look forward to seeing your progress.
Welcome to floss tube! Your video was delightful and I look forward to future videos. It will be fun to watch your progress and I enjoyed your knitting too. The toys are incredible! You are quickly falling down this rabbit hole of so many projects so little time, but oh …..it is so much fun❣️
Love to see your knitting! I really enjoy multi-crafters! I am on the search for an easy sock heel. I love knitting socks, but always get bad anxiety at the heels. Beautiful stitching also!
Congratulations and welcome to Flosstube. I was also tense and nervous on my first Flosstube. Great finishes and WIP parade. Happy stitching
Nicely done...stitches and Flosstube.
Your stitching is gorgeous! Loved your video and can’t wait to see more. Congratulations on your foray into flosstube😘
GREAT VIDEO. I HAVE ANOTHER FRIEND IN PERTH.
Continued....They also have a Flosstube podcast!
Welcome to flosstube! Thank you for sharing all your stitchy talent. Great job on the fairies - your color conversion is beautiful.😊
Really enjoyed your first video! Your stitching is lovely!
Hello hello Lisa! By the time this note gets to you, you would have had your retreat at Wabamun. I am sure you had a hoot and a holler. Enjoy your day! Bag
Hehe I think you have the wrong person, I wish I was on stitching retreat! 😉
@@TammysCinnamonStitches the comment must have jumped! That’s what I’m going with!!lol!!
Bravo from Florida! I absolutely loved the way I could see your devotion to each stitch. I did hear about some women taking a certain linen and washing it and allowing it to air dry. Beautiful stitching.
You are awesome. Great job on your cross stitching. So glad I came across your floss tube. Plan on following
Good first flosstube. 👏👏❤
Loved your first video, you have a lot of beautiful pieces and you have a wonderful presence presenting your work. Can't wait to see more!
Welcome to flosstube you are doing a great job! I love Mirabilia and the owls beautiful works of art!!!🙂🙂 Your WIPS are great choices!
You have fox and Rabbit in Australia. They do fabrics, cottage garden threads is in Australia too
Awesome! I'll have to check them out, thank you! 😊
Oh, your first floss tube was just beautiful and you have a great talent presenting. You are a true creative person. I can't wait to see what you do in the future.
Congrat on you first floss tube and knitting it was nice and fun to watch you I love the mermaid can’t wait to see it’s progress I looked on the 123 stitch they have that pattern and then I noticed they had the nightingale one and I’m nurse it’s so beautiful. It’s it hard to stitch with beads and do you stitch beads after cross stitching I’m new cross stitch. And working on my first small piece. I’m also learn knitting a sock , I’ve only done scarf and crochet blanket. I also quilt I’m from! Ma, USA
Thanks Deolinda! The Nightingale pattern is gorgeous, there's so many beautiful patterns out there it's so hard to choose! 😆I tend to bead after all my stitches are done, just because I love the transformation that the beads bring when added. Sounds like you have many awesome projects! 😄
I love your choice of fabric/placement on your Mirabilia mermaid!
Tammy, wonderful meeting you…your cross stitching and knitting is awesome…congratulations on #1 FlossTube and I hope you have many, many more…I am in Central Virginia, USA…we don’t have a local needlework shop either…bummer…wishing you the best and happy stitching ❤
You did really well. Your work is beautiful.
Hi Tammy, nice first video. Lovely projects.
Hello from Carson City Nevada! Great first video. Enjoyed it. You did very well. Loved your finished pieces. Looking forward to your next one!
Your placement of the mermaid on the fabric is absolutely perfect, so I have no doubt that the fancy ladies dress will not get lost on that picture this plus, because you will place it in the right place. Mirabella, and Nora Corbett are both Designed by Nora Corbett the difference is the size of the pattern Mirabella’s are the bigger ones Nora car birds are the smaller ones. Not small small but that is big you know what I mean. Welcome to floss to love your channel will subscribe. Hope to see you again soon.
Beautiful stitching
Your work is very impressive 🥰
Nice debut, Tammie! Welcome to our cozy community! Karen of Prom Queen Stitcher ❣️
Terrific first video and really lovely stitching! I’ve subscribed and look forward to seeing your next videos. Beautiful work! ❤
Welcome to Flosstube! I'm currently working on Autumn Towne, I look forward to seeing you work on it later!
You did a beautiful job.
I love your flosstube, it´s so inspiring to me. Sorry if I wrote something wrong, I´m from Germany
Welcome to Flosstube lovely, great 1st show, loved it!!! I am in Gippsland Victoria and started cross stitch 3 years ago. I am currently working on Hello by Liz Matthews All Hallows Eve, its slow progress, the mistakes have been many so rip out and re-do has been happening. I have 2 other WIP’s one is a freebie from Fat Quarter Shop which is 3/4 done and the other I downloaded off the Silk app, Quaker which is also 3/4 done - ALL have been in time out, I find it quite frustrating but at the same time, Im liking it!!! I have a tip of patterns, floss and fabric. I started on 14 count Aida, now on 25 count. Have attempted linen, with no idea about it all and put it down as I couldnt understand why it wasnt working however after a huge amount of flosstube viewing I now understand where I went wrong with the linen so maytime to try again!!! You cross stitches you showed are absolutely beautiful, loved them all. The is a online cross stitch shop in Tasmania called A Stitch in time, I have gotten a few things from her and the postage compared to overseas is very reasonable. I have also found online 2 websites that are here in Australia for DMC floss, now if you wanting country cottage threads she is about 40 mins away from where i live, I have a heap of her threads that are simply gorgeous so have a look at her website as well. I knit, crochet and make quilts so i can pick and choose each night what I am going to do whilst watching TV. Cannot wait to see your progress on the Mirrabilla’s soon.
Oh wow you have so many cool patterns going and sounds like you have a lot of experience. I will have to check out the shop A stitch in time and country cottage threads! super excited to know of new places to look (spend money) at hehe thanks so much. ☺
❤️❤️❤️ Congratulations on your first Flosstube ❤️ InezArnetta 🌹
Well done on your first Flosstube! I’m in Sydney and use two ‘stores’ for most of my supplies. A Stitch in Time is a Tasmanian LNS and JK’s Cross Stitch Supplies is on the Central Coast of NSW. I’ve found both to be really good - I’m sure you’ll find them both online. 🐨👍
Thanks so much I will have to check them out! ☺
Great first video! Your owls are by Wrendale Designs. I love, love, love their patterns! Happy belated birthday.
Thanks so much for the name of the Owls ☺ and thanks for the birthday wishes hehe!😁
Great first video Tammy! Love your positioning of your Mira mermaid on the fabric! For Lady of the Mist though, I'd be afraid the Mire fabric would compete too much with the pattern. Number12Stitchco has some lighter, less mottled, blue-greens that maybe could work? Look forward to more 👍
Yea I think you are right about the fabric.I might have to do a bit more research! 🤔
56 count is smallest. But to help you see the smaller count you can get a lighted magnifier. There are lots of ones to choose from
oh wow 56 count that's small! yes, I think I need to get one of those. 😆
Congratulations on your flosstube, its amazing, your work is beautiful especially the garden fairies and christmas queen, beautiful colours. The cuddlers are a bothy threads kit and they do a lot of different animals and if you love birds, I would recommend to check more of them out (I am doing the halloween poochys) I have subscribed and looking forward to more x Kay x
Thanks so much for the name of the kit! I will have to revisit them and grab some more hehe 😊
Welcome. You have a LNS l think it called stitchers corner not a big store and it really is on a corner. Colour cascade on line store in Perth ❤️
Oh wow I had no idea! thank you so much, I will have to check them out for sure 😁
You did great on your first floss tube. Love your projects your mirabilia is just gorgeous she (the royal holiday) will be beautiful at Christmas. Your mermaid is stunning on that fabric. I think Alice in wonderland would be just great which ever fabric you continue her on so far she looks great. If you must get ride of your aida I would love it but I have to get you something or trade? Maybe I can find your Kreinik thread or get a piece of linen for you. Thank you again for your flosstube nice job
The Aida is yours! 🥳No need to trade anything, I just love the idea of giving it to someone who really appreciate its and will use it☺ Just email me your mailing address at tammymkellett@outlook.com and I will get it sent out to you soon 😄
Love this! Not sure if you’ll see this as I’m so late, but I’m so curious… what book were you reading on your camping trip? I love to listen to books and stitch, so I love recommendations.
Sure, the book was called The Fold by Peter Clines.......it's kind of like a sci-fi/mystery. I found it really gripping, but the ending was a little disappointing haha like it was good, but I feel like the author could have done more with it.....haha I think I don't like it when I can predict the ending and I think it was just a bit too obvious.....but the rest of the story was really good. ☺
Really enjoyed your video and all of your beautiful projects. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your work! Just a bit of info about your favorite sci-fi movie-it was released in 1956 so it’s quite a bit older than you! The first color film was made in 1908 and Gone With the Wind (1939) was the first movie of the year to be filmed in color. The Wizard of Oz (1939) also won an award for use of color. Films had been made in color prior to that but aren’t as well known. Just some fun film facts.😀
Oh wow that's so cool! thanks so much for the info 😊I love hearing facts like that.....do you mind if I mention them/you in my next video? ☺
@@TammysCinnamonStitches Sure
Have you contacted Fox and Rabbit, they’re in Australia for linen fabric?
Hello! Lovely video and I love the fabric you chose for the mermaid - very clever placing her under the light, looks fantastic! Did you say you're stitching her on 36 count? If yes, you may want to consider usng smaller beads as the bigger ones may not fit. I'm also going to stitch the Autumn Town later this year, maybe we should have a SAL? Looking forward to seeing all your progress!
Ooo I'm all in for a SAL hehe! 😄The beads did sit a little big but I felt like they were ok in the end, thanks for the advice though I think next time I'll pay more attention to it 😉
@@TammysCinnamonStitches haha hes, I saw your next video after writing this comment and your mermaid looks lovely! I was always scared of stitching these fancy patterns on higher counts as even in 32 count I had problems making the beads sit nicely but it's good to see that it can be done! Yey for the sal! 😁
Great job! Love your adorable owls! Would you share the pattern please??
Hi Londa thank you so much! Unfortunately, I can't tell you the exact name of the pattern however I've been informed that it is a Bothy Thread chart. I would recommend searching on ebay or amazon for Bothy thread Owls and hopefully it will come up for you! 😊
Hey Tammy!! Fab video. Totally enjoyed getting to know you. I’m a Canadian so I understand some of the struggles of the online ordering issues. Have you ever ordered from The Crewel Goblin? It’s located in Killara, Australia so may help get patterns and supplies to you quicker!!
Hi Lindsay! Sorry for my slow reply to this message...but thank you so much for the shop info! 😊 xox
