I have watched so many floss tubes but this has been the most relaxing. I really enjoyed it!
Always love hearing your goings' on. I like the soft music in the background. I LOVE the Gnomes and I am not a Gnome type of person. They are just adorable and your stitching is beautiful. Cheers from the US.
I really like the stitch with me. I find it very relaxing with the music. The gnomes are adorable. I can see why you would like them. I could just picture the beads all over the floor. ❤
Thank you Tresa for posting. Us viewers wanted you to post this and you heard us! Great! Enjoy hearing your stories and CONGRATS on getting back into dancing and congrats on getting your redecorating finished. See you on the next one.
This is great-I loved hearing all the stories! This is a great thing to listed to while doing my own stitching. Glad to hear you're going back to dance
I loved watching you, and wish I could learn to Cross Stitch even a simple one, but I don't think I can, Your amazing, thank you
Loved this just what the dr ordered. Thanks for taking the time x
❤ your stitching is so beautiful. I felt your pain when it comes to dropping trays full of beads! If I didnt live in the states I would take your jewelry making stuff. ❤ your going to do great in your dancing adventures ❤
I love the gnomes. Thank you for the relaxing stitchy time.
You are so lucky you get to dance again-I was a figure skater then my MS went into secondary progressive and my balance and feeling in my legs is off so I can’t skate anymore-it is hard to give up something that you love-I’m so happy for you!btw I love your stitching and updates❤️
Thank you for all your videos! You got me started on my cross stitch adventure! I am impressed with your ability to deal with all the other “life” events. I’m sure I would have used the broom method to deal with the spilled beads. God bless you! Have you thought of making zipper pulls and scissor fobs with the jewelers supplies ?
Thank you for all the time you give us!
Great video, so sorry about your beads. Is there any beads you can make scissor fobs ? If so make some and give away on your channel, instead of Good Will . Just saying 🤷♀️😊
Thanks for stitch a long. Sat in the car on a wet Friday night with great company to stitch with 💖
Thank you so much for watching you stitch on 28 count even weave. I have a very cute pattern that I wanted to try but I have not yet because I never knew what 2 over 2 meant and now I can see what you are doing and I can see that you are going over 2 threads with 2 strands of floss. Maybe I could do my project after all. Your project is so cute. I love Gnomes. Happy Stitching.
Just caught up with this whilst I'm sat stitching on Cardinal Points by Long Dog Samplers. Very enjoyable to have a listen to all your adventures.
Teresa, I have the same problem with my jewelry making stuff. It's all over the house, so this year, I thought I would try making beaded scissor fobs. I haven't used all of my staff, but I have very many (I think 320 is many) fobs finished and have decided to hand them out at Stitch-Con. Just a thought on what you could do with excess beads.
Missed the live but enjoyed as a catch up. I may have to get the Christmas gnomes🤣as if I haven't got enough to last me two lifetimes of stitching
Enjoyed the chat. The Gnomes are adorable and coming along nicely. I had to laugh, but totally in sympathy with your beading fiasco. I too have lots of beads and have had similar concerns about who I should give them too. I can keep some to do embellishing on quilts. Some of my quilting friends may like some. And while I was watching this video, a friend called wanting to de-stash her fabric supplies. We will be donating them to the Quilt Guild. The Guild will be having a Quilt Show and they feature a "New to You Boutique" where they sell members' de-stashed donations for a small price and use the funds to help cover the costs of the Quilt Show. I guess I could donate my excess beads there as well. Hmmmm. Just a thought.
Thank you for the stitch with me. I make jewelry and do lots of other crafty stuff.
Also re eyesight - two pairs of specs is a very sexy look! But also your eyesight does change a lot. I have been through lenses with readers, lenses, readers and a magnifier, varifocals and now have reached a stage where I stitch with no specs or lenses and can’t see anything across the room until I put my specs back on! So hang in there and you may find that train stitching becomes easier.
This is a SUPER cute chart, and you might be enabling me right now to locate it! LOL.
Question for you Teresa, how do you setup your overhead camera for the stitch with me, please? I’m struggling for a camera angle. Thank you! 🥰
For the overhead camera setup, My office desk is up against a wall. I have Ikea cubes attached to the wall above for storage ( not always pretty but functional. This allows me to attach my camera and boom arm above my workstation and plug directly into the computer. This set-up allows me to have an adjustable arm positioned directly above my stitching when recording or move to over the desk for recording updates and showing items on the desk. Lighting is also key, so I use Elgato key lights that can point at me or on the stitching to help eliminate shadows. I do plan to do a video on my recording set-up as this is a regualar question I get. I just need to find the time to do it 😃 I hope this helps! Happy stitching! 🥰📸✨
@@TeresaLittleStitcher thank you so much!! 🥰 And yes, a video would be fantastic! I hope you have a wonderful day!
Suggestion: use the 3M Command strips to hang your stitching - no holes in the walls and they hold very nicely! That’s how I hang ALL my projects with now! 😊
Love the gnomes. So happy you are getting back to dance..Cant wait to see your new gowns. Sorry about y I ur bead fiasco. I would have just started laughing at myself because crying wouldn't help me at all.
I can sympathise with dropping several boxes of small items across the floor. The Cheshire Stitcher does a lot of bead work. She may know of the best places to sell any tools etc you may want to unload? Or offer some of the bigger beads to your new dressmaker for dance outfits?
Hi Theresa!! Congrats on the dancing... so sorry to hear about the beads.... I would be interested but I am in the usa. I know I clicked on your facebook link many, many, months ago and facebook stated that you belong to one of my jewelry destash groups. I am not sure if you still interract or have cleaned up your groups but definitely have a look in there!!
Thanks, Teresa. This was fun.
I am the Mother of Gnomes. I own the enabling I did. (In this case, not in any others!) 🤣 xx
What about the fancy ducks!
@@TeresaLittleStitcher All I said was “I’ve got a duck and he’s quite fancy. Does he count for the SAL?” And now look where we are…
You might be able to use beads on perforated plastic. Just like a form of cross stitch.
Next time use cello tape to pick up tiny beads and jewelry accessories? Love listening and watching this video! Thank you!! ⚾️
Hi I am new to cross stitch, and I new to your channel . I love watching your channel , I feel very relaxed and I do my stitching while watching you. I love some of your patterns. Could you tell me where you buy the gnomes . They are my favourite. . thanks again for sharing
Thank you for your lovely message! Yes the gnomes are from soda stitch on Etsy.
Thank You!😊
There are a lot of people who buy job lots of crafting stuff on ebay. Maybe this would be quickest way to get rid of the stuff while still recouping some money.
Love the gnomes so cute. I have a question I was taught to start my stitches going from right to left and then cross left to right , but I noticed you start left to right and cross right to left. Is there a right way to do it or just preference? From Canada. 🇨🇦
I think the only real ‘rule’ is to have the top legs of your stitches all crossing in the same direction. Apart from that, I think find the best way for you. Happy stitching!

I would keep the jewellery making tools but get rid of the materials like the big beads and clasps because if you ever want to do it again you just have to buy the materials not the tools but maybe keep some of the beads and clasps just in case and the flosstuber crafty lisa does jewellery making maybe check if she wants them
What about making zipper pulls or scissor floss for retreats.
I have a very strange question how do you. Work out how many skeins do you need if something says 1000 or even 4000 stitches I have a pattern I'm trying to kit big it says the same amount off skiens for both these what do I do
It is a difficult question to answer as it depends on how you stitch and what size fabric you stitch on and how many strands you stitch with.. Google Lord Libidan - on that site you will find some rough calculations for different types of fabric and ways of stitching. I believe there may be floss calculators out there in the web too but I haven’t used any myself.
Awesome video. Wondering what stand and frame you are using now. And are you still using your Necessaire stand from 4 years ago ??
I use all my stands! I have the newest version necessaire stand and also an omanik table stand.
Tatsha
Curious what brand & size of needle you’re using? Super cute stitch!
Bohin Cross Stitch/Tapestry Needles - I usually have a selection of Sizes 28, 26, 24 so I have a range of sizes depending on the fabric count I am working on.
@@TeresaLittleStitcher thank you for responding!! ❤️
What about using the larger beads, jump rings, and clasps to make bag fobs, scissor fobs, stuff like that. You could recoup the investment by selling them online.
How about passing your unwanted jewelry supplies to a nursing home or a school for their art classes?
Why don’t you make sissorfdobs or floss ring bling with your jewelry stuff.
Your dance dresses must have shrunk in the closet! It's a well known fact that happens!
And who cares what people would think if you had 2 glasses on! They might even be interested in
What you are working on.
Hi a suggestion for your beading supplies had you thought of making stitchy goodies for friends or gifts for your retreats. Will message you on insta. Feel your pain about dropping the container have done that myself recently.
You'll be surprised how much your weight will drop when you're dancing regularly 😻😻😻💃🩰👯♀️🦸♀️
