I'm relieved you're not going to quit making flosstube videos. I enjoy your rambly style. I am a monogamous stitcher for the most part. Having a bunch of wips makes me anxious, but I enjoy seeing all of yours.
I understand the need to work on just one or two projects at a time, which is why I have focus pieces that I really want to get done. But I’m not sure I’ll ever get my stack back down to a reasonable number again 😃. But then what’s reasonable for one is extreme for someone else! 😂. Your Kiss pattern is coming, I promise! 👍
@@NeedleberryStitcher I trust the pattern will come. No worries there. My goodness, you are gifting me a pattern! I love Mirabilia patterns. I'm looking forward to all your starts in May. I just might join in and start (gasp) a couple! 😅
Hi! I don’t count my stitches, I keep track of the time I spend on each piece. I just started stitching again after a 15 year hiatus. I’m loving stitching again. It’s a better way to spend my time rather than looking for shows to watch. Thank you for your honesty, we all have something that sets us back, and it’s nice to know we are not alone!
I’m so glad you found your way back to stitching! That’s wonderful!! We should enjoy our hobbies, and sometimes that means switching things up when the joy starts to fade. ☺️💕
I am so glad you are continuing your floss tube. You are one of my favorites. I love Mirabilias and enjoy you talking about and showing your charts. Spring
Hi there. I’m a new viewer but have binge watched all your episodes right from Flosstube 1!! We are farmers in Zambia and it’s harvest time so I am in charge of the weighbridge station. The one benefit of that, is I get to stitch all day and watch/listen to flosstube. This lasts about 2 to 3 weeks twice a year. So today was Needleberry day! Thank you for keeping me company. I love your videos and your work is beautiful. Showing all your WIPs, kits, charts etc was very enabling! Happy stitching.
How fascinating to learn about what you do and where you’re from! 😃 I feel so honored that you chose to spend your time with me today watching my videos! ☺️💕 I hope the remainder of your harvest time is full of joyful stitching!
I love your flosstube, you are the one who finally got me to dive into Mirabilias and now I’m obsessed! I absolutely LOVE Dimensions kits and share that passion with you. Spring
When I found your channel, I immediately went back and watched all your videos, so I am glad you decided to stick with it, because you would be missed! I love all of your Mirabilia charts, and will be looking forward to seeing them come to life, like the trees and flowers coming to life during the spring months. Thank you for taking the time to share your love of stitching with us.
I love Spring - and not only because it is joined by new starts in May! glad to hear you're feeling a lot better. I think that's another joy with the turning of the year - fresh starts and raise in mood for us too!
Hi. I like your wavy hair. I like that you change your mind when things aren't working for you. And I like hearing zips!😂 ⚘️ Thanks for the bead to DMC conversion link. I'm one of those stitchers.😊
You are such a joy to watch! Spring is in the air here in Vancouver WA. The rainbow unicorn made me laugh and laugh. Your fabric choices for the are all beautiful. The magg eyes were great the second around!! I love spending my stitchy time with you. You can never stop podcasting!!! Thank you so much for sharing XOXO
You have chosen some beautiful fabrics for your maynia starts. It will be a busy month for you, by then all the spring flowers should be out. Thanks for another entertaining video.
I love your fabric choices! Beautiful! I’m thinking you will be very pleased that you decided to start all these beautiful Mirabilias. Happy Miramania 😊. I am so excited that it is SPRING now 💐
The fabrics you chose on those kits are so beautiful. I agree that some need mottling but others look just as beautiful on "plain" fabric. I sure love to stitch spring and that hummingbird is no exception.
I love watching your videos; they’re so inspiring. One thing I love about Mirabilia’s is that there are so many possible fabric options that can look great and it can lead to very different-looking final pieces. I think your choices will look great!
Thanks Amy!! I’m looking forward to having as many Miras on the go as you do, I’ve got a long way to go for that though. 😉 Your stitching is magical, watching your videos is like escaping into a fairy tale world ☺️💕
Loved watching your choices of fabrics w/patterns! Very happy flosstube wasn't what was pushing on your well being - I would miss visiting with you. Spring in my second favorite season.
New to your flosstube and want to say I am glad you stopped counting instead of taking a break from flosstube. I totally enjoyed your entire video. I’ll be back for more & plan to binge watch your previous videos. I live in Central FL and we seem to skip Spring here - starting to feel like summer. Thanks again.
I think you have chosen perfect fabrics for your Mira's. Love love love your videos. Haven't stitched in 3 weeks. My lazy stitchy bug is here. However, I have been ordering patterns, fabric and many other supplies. I look forward to following your progress for Maynia. Happy Stitching.
I'm loving all the mira starts you are going to be doing in May. I currently have 3 kitted up but I haven't actually started one just yet 😆😆. I would love to stitch the spring pattern it looks gorgeous. Happy stitching everybody!!
Looking forward to all your Mirabilia starts and I also looking forward to Spring. Glad you decided to continue with your floss tube. Looking forward to your next one. Happy stitching!
I love your May plans! Mirabila designs is a top favorite of mine. Your Maynia plans are so awesome. Spring is such a lively time. Thanks for staying on floss tube! ❤️
I love your sense of humor, I had a few chuckles over your little unicorn!!! I have the same problems with the voice, but I also go ahead and do it any was. All your choices of fabric for your Mirabilia look great. I am looking forward to seeing your progress. I love Dimensions kits, the spring hummingbird plate kit is gorgeous. I am glad you decided to stop counting and to continue making floss tube videos. I don't comment on every video, but I do watch and enjoy each one. Take care and happy stitching!!!
Oh my, when you mentioned dropping your channel…I said oh no. You are on my list of favorites. I think we are alike, I hate to shop, own mag eyes, collect mirabilia and stitch one project at a time. But flosstube changed that. I won’t say how many I have started but I am enjoying every stitch. That said I will Spring off the bed and dream of my hummingbirds.
I love watching your flosstubes! Who's to say that those columns weren't painted blue? There's no rule on what color columns are. LOL! Go for it! You can blame me if you don't like it. :-) And my favorite time of year is Spring!
Yessss! I love your take on the columns!! Thank you so much for the encouragement, I think I’ll just go for it! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Mirabilia stitched that wasn’t beautiful all on its own regardless of what fabric it was stitched on! 👍😃
I love love Spring!!! Sweet Nectar has been on my unicorn list for a while now. Luda made me fall in love with that kit. Spring would be a perfect time to start it! I really enjoy your Flosstube channel😊
That's so awesome! I recently stitched "Veronica as a companion piece for my "Sabrina" They're on my wall facing eachother 😊 "Sabrina" is wearing the same dress Audrey Hepburn wears in "Sabrina" the movie. And Veronica's dress reminds me of Scarlett O'Hara so they had to be together ☺️ Your Mirabilia collection should be insured!!! It's fantastic!
@@sandram3408 Oh, I bet they look amazing next to each other, I love that idea!! I like that Nora creates patterns that can be stitched in pairs or in groups and are alike in that way! What do you think of the new Rosamund design? I think it will be beautiful stitched with Sleeping Beauty or Sleeping Princess!
@@NeedleberryStitcher I really like that too, that you can stitch friends for them🤭 I'm going to be getting the "Rosamund" pattern. I haven't been attracted to any of her "bed ladies" in the past but I love this one. I like the touch of red of the roses, the design of the bed posts and the pattern in the bed linens, Nora is a phenomenal artist! Such a genius!
Spring is springing in Minnesota! Finally!!! Thank you for your videos...I truly look forward to them! I think I may be doing a "miramaynia" as well. I only have 4, but one a week, and I may have a finish! YAY!!
my first was the "H fairy", which i could finis - if i stick with it! I am also working on "Sleeping Princess" "Bliss Fairy" and have "Princess Elliana" in the stash ready to start! Thank you for all your enabling! 😆
I’m glad you decided to come back. Not many flosstubers do Mira’s and I love seeing all your projects. I can’t wait to see what you get accomplished for May - your fabric choices I think are perfect - don’t second guess yourself.
Really enjoyed your update and so glad that your flosstube wasn't what was stressing you out....and that you figured out what was. We would have missed you. Love all your fabric you got,they're very beautiful....but the light blue im not too sure about. I also love spring and all my Hummingbirds coming back...I really enjoy watching them eat and fly around. Can't wait to see you start your Memorabilias. They are going to be Stunning!! And ohh yes....that lil devil sits on my shoulder saying the same things to me...mine isn't a cute unicorn like yours. Always trying to ruin the fun 🙄. Looking forward to your next very much...hope you have a great week and enjoy whatever your stitching on 🥰
Haha, yes the little voice inside tries to ruin all the fun! Sometimes we have to listen but sometimes it’s okay to ignore it for a while and let the good times roll! 😉😂
So glad you’re not giving up your Flosstube sharing. Not to be interpreted as stalking, but I get very happy when I get notified that you have posted a video. Keep up the good work. Glad you found something to help decrease your stress. Our stitching is and should be our joy.
I'm glad you're not leaving you tube. I throughly enjoyed your Mirabilia stash videos. Spring Nectar is beautiful. I haven't done a dimensions kit yet. Flowers bloom year round in FL 😀 TFS ❤
Just found your chanel today. Had lost my stitching bug for some week now. And it returned thanks to you and some other lovely flosstubers. ❤️ Never really thought about stitchibg with beads. Really have to look that up! Maybe it will be my spring projekt. Will definitely watch your other videos!
Good choices on your fabrics. For the Rose of Sharon, definitely use the ice blue. It will look like a trellis instead of pillars. The weather is getting warmer here, it is a beautiful spring day today.
You cracked me up with the unicorn 🦄 as your inner voice! I so understand about the inner voice telling me “Do you really need this?” I always have items gathering dust in my carts on Etsy and 123 Stitch and a few others sites as well. I go back to the carts a few days later and look over my choices and usually find something else to replace them. Once in awhile I hit buy. Your fabric choices for the fancy lady designs look great! Happy spring stitching! 🧵 🪡 PS. I’m glad you decided to continue your flosstube videos but if you need a break it’s okay too.
I do the same thing - fill my cart, come back a few days later, swap stuff out… 😂. Eventually I settle on something and empty the cart out except that one thing and buy it!
Yeah, a Spring is almost here! Sweet Nectar Is so beautiful. I agree with you about dropping the daily counting. I started...for the first time...using the Book of Days. First two months I counted..and it was fun. Now I just want to stitch and enjoy the process. Go for those starts. 100 is a nice round number, but I have exceeded that now. How wonderful to have so many choices to match my stitching moods 👍🏼👍🏼😁😁
I love all of your fabric choices and a definite yes on Sleeping Beauty and the Christmas one!! I’m not usually a fan of spring because of the pollen, but I love the birds and looking at all of the flowers 💐 🐦!
For allergy sufferers spring can be very difficult! But I do hope hearing the birds sing and seeing the flowers bloom brings joy - from a distance! ☺️💕
Spring is the BEST! Bit rocky weather here in Southern IN- it snowed and hailed yesterday but that's fine, more indoor stitchy time, right? Great to see you and all your Miras- fun plans! I have yet to do a Mira, but have always liked the fancy ladies and mermaids. You do great with your videos- you break it down and keep it real and watching you is always enjoyable!
Loved our visit tonight💕💕💕. Glad you are continuing with our visits. Like you I am in a cross stitcher desert here in the mountains of WV. I am lucky enough to have a LNS in St Albans WV, but unlucky for me it is 2+ hours away and with gas $$$$$ 🤯 I am watching and stitching with my MAG EYES on. I had single focus glasses made by my eye Dr just for my stitching, and his Mom used to stitch so he was in the know😂. But did think about watching tv, or I would have got the half glasses🤦🏻♀️. Saw the Mageyes on Lori Holt FT couple years ago and thought I would give them a try with my everyday glasses. GAME CHANGER 💕💕💕💕💕. I I have no problem putting them on in the truck and stitching away while hubby is in shopping for his hobbies🤪 Good luck with your Miramaynia😳. I have three of the ones you are stitching and the link to the DMC conversion for the beads is greatly appreciated, I stitch to keep myself sane not to frame so not spending the $ for beads (can by more charts instead🤨🤣) Have way more Lavender and Lace from my beginning stitch days. Happy stitching 🪡💕 PS would worry about filling in the columns on Rose of Sharon, not column, it is a arbor and they are usually metal or wood👍 problem solved🙃
We should wear our Mag Eyes proudly!! Even in the parking lot while we’re waiting, I love it!! 😃 I’m so glad for online shopping, it’s tough not having a LNS close by - but I do miss seeing the fabrics up close, the colors online through a computer monitor or tablet screen can be difficult sometimes. Beads are optional, that’s my opinion! Stitch what you love, skip what you don’t ☺️💕
@@NeedleberryStitcher Mag Eyes rule👏👏👏👏 Ha back when I started this crazy journey in 1980 there was aida or linen, white, cream, and maybe blue, and DMC was major with Anchor way behind. Was living in Richmond Va and the final LNS closed 2005. I stitched from stash for 4 years and put it down about 2010 for lack of supplies and new inspiration. We retired in 2017 and moved to tiny little town in mountains of WV to be close to hubbies family (all my immediate family is gone😢). We helped FIL, stage 4 bladder cancer, til we lost him in 2018. I was in dire need of something to do, so dug out my old stash, the things you NEVER throw away😜. Was hooked again immediately….I had never thought to check the internet til then. Boy was it eye opening, overdyed floss and fabric, full coverage pieces that were 5+ pages all the new charts and designers, flosstube😳🥰. My stash has tripled, I have learned so many new things about stitching, and I visit with lots of stitchy friends everyday through FT💕💕. Now if we could just find the fountain of youth we would be set🤣. Checked 123stitches new charts🤯 my wishlist just imploded🥸. Happy stitching 🪡
@@jenniferwatts3189 Every time I watch FlossTube my wish list gets bigger!! (My shopping cart too, lol). I’m so glad you found your way back to cross stitch! Every moment stitching is a little slice of heaven!
Hi, I totally feel your anxiety about counting stitches and keeping track of time spent. I fell back into stitching last year and when I see such amazing finishes and the quantity of patterns some stitchers can complete in a month or the year end round ups it gives me anxiety, I just can't keep up. I have to remind myself often that isn't what its about and sometimes I listen,. I love your personality and your honesty. Thank you for a hour well spent. Happy Stitching!
I totally agree about the counting… and trying to keep up with other stitchers who have much more time to stitch. We should not compare, only be happy with what we do and find joy and contentment in the process! Thank you for the supportive comment!! ☺️💕
Thank you for your videos. I love to see all your plans and miras. The dimensions chart is very beautiful and would be a joy to stitch in the Spring outdoor in the sun . Ive done counting and all kind of games on facebook with stitching. But I'm happy that I've quiet all that. Stitching is now much more relaxing
Ii have so many Dimension kits but I have convinced myself to spring for it. Really enjoy your videos. The fabric choices for your Miris are beautiful. As far as your mageyes,, from one nerd to another: Live Long and Prosper.
Another great video, thank you! I'm so pleased you haven't decided to press pause on your floss tube! I cannot wait to see you start all of those patterns and I love the sweet nectar design, what a perfect stitch for Spring 😊
I love your fabrics and I wouldn't change one of your choices. Glad your going to make more videos. I love dimensions kits and humming bird was my mother in laws favorite bird. I would love to stitch it in memory of her.
Just finished watching your video and love all your May plans. I am a Dimension stitcher and I have a few Mirabilia. For this Spring, I am stitching Lost No More by Dimensions in time for Easter. Can’t wait to see all your Mirabilia starts this May.
Hi I’m from Australia and I love your floss talk. I too have very few friends who i can share the love of stitching with. I must be crazy as I have just started 3 HAED all full coverage.
I enjoy listening to you very much. I certainly understand about not starting anything and since I am a Virgo and I am suppose to be a perfectionist and organized, etc etc. and always finish what I start, I am pretty sure I was born in the wrong month.Well I looked at all my beautiful patterns and I wanted to start them all; sooo, guess what, I have pulled my Christmas stocking patterns and my patterns I want to put on a stocking and am kitting them up, approximately 21. I smile every time I finish kitting one and will soon have them ready, then am going to have a start week. BTW, I have some nice Dragon patterns, maybe you and some of your followers would like to start a dragon SAL. Thanks for not stopping your flosstube, you have a lot of followers who would really miss you.
Christmas stockings, how fun!!! I have a couple of stocking kits but I haven’t started either one. Stockings are such treasures! I’m sure you will have so much fun with your week of starts! I will definitely consider a dragon SAL at some point, as soon as I get through some of my current WIPs and new starts! 😂😂 There are just SO many things I want to stitch and not enough time!! 😃
I am SO with you on that annoying voice of reason when I want to put something in my cart! 🤣🦄 But then just end up getting it...I wish it felt like Spring here in Norway now! Still too cold! I like the fabrics you picked out for your designs 😊
Thank you, I hope the fabrics I chose end up being okay, I don’t have the best eye for color! I think Mirabilias look good on just about any fabric though, hard to make a really bad choice ☺️💕
I love watching your flosstube videos. I think the fabric that you have picked are wonderful. I have never counted my stitches and I have been stitching since the 80s. I have never felt the need to count them. I just work on what I want to and then go to the next. For the longest time before I found flosstube I would stitch on one project until I finished it. That sure has changed. Spring has started here in Washington state. Everything is blooming. Take care.
Just a quick though on pattern number 3 on ice blue. I'd be afraid that you might lose the blue Holly hocks in the background. It might be worth considering changing them to a pink or purple - but I haven't read through all the comments, you might have already thought of this. As always, thanks for sharing! Ps. I completely understand how stitch counting could be overwhelming. I don't know how people do it! I start a timer when I start stitching and record how many minutes I spend stitching each evening. That is satisfying enough for me. I'm glad that you have found some relief from the overwhelm and have still been able to keep up your floss tube xxx
Thank you so much for the suggestions, I value ALL feedback since I am terrible with choosing fabrics! 😂 I think I will do a floss toss just to ease my mind… or maybe I’ll just do the called-for natural linen so that it matches Rose Arbour ☺️💕
Hello! I like all your fabric choices. I start what I want when I want…you do you! Have fun! My aunt buys the same shirt in different colors. I am not much of a shopper unless it is cross stitch! LOL I don’t care about the bag or cellophane noises..it doesn’t bother me. WOW so generous of you to give the sweet nectar kit. Happy stitching!
Thanks for watching and leaving such a nice comment ☺️ I should have clarified what type of shopping I dislike… cuz I LOVE shopping for cross stitch too!! 😂
I enjoyed watching you go through your process in a truthful way that helped you stitch happier. This video actually helped me with my WIPs and goals going forward. Time is limited so why sit around stressed and worrying. Instead, stitch and be happy with the WIPs 😀 This spring I am hoping to start some new Mirabilia patterns and I am buying Cinderella today because my 7 was watching with me and was ooh and ahh 🙂. Thanks and happy stitching ❤️
Your flosstubes are very encouraging! I'm working on my first Mira (Spring Queen) and I also chose a hand dyed fabric. I was so excited when you mentioned Murfreesboro! That's where I'm located so if you're in my area again this spring, I'd love to meet and chat over coffee, maybe at the coffee shop around the corner from my LNS that you visited!! Take care, JBJ
That would be amazing!!! I may be passing through Murfreesboro the first week of June - if I have time to make a stop for a few hours I’ll let you know, I would love to meet up at the LNS (I think it’s Country Cupboard, right?) and grab a coffee, maybe do a little stitching!! 👍😃 That sounds so fun!!
I am amazed at all your start plans AND so many Mirabilias. I am back to cross stitch after a 20 year break and started with "Feeding Frenzy" by Dimensions. I am looking forward to a few more starts this spring. I loved the unicorn voice of reason. Very cute.
Feeding Frenzy is so pretty!! I’ve had my eye on that one for a while. Unicorn keeps telling me no, not yet 😂 So glad you found your way back to stitching!! ☺️💕
Your fabric choices are lovely! Each piece will become a masterpiece of art. I have never stitched a Mira but love hummingbirds. I look forward to their return each Spring.
Mira Maynia== FUN!! loved seeing all your projects! I have done several you are starting. Garden Verses ( I think that is the name -- Roman looking lady with the feather quill) was the very first cross stitch piece I ever did In 1995. I was hooked. I have done Rose of Sharon and Christmas Elegance. I just finished Winter Queen last year and I did her on the called for as well and I thought she was lovely. Damask Roses is one of my favorites I was lucky to get her in my collection and you are tempting me to pull her out and start her. And SLeeping Beauty. oh, and Fairy Moon. I stitched her as well. I think you will love her on that dark fabric, She will be lovely. I love your fabric choices. I think they will look good. Can;t wait to see what you get done and hope you have FUN
You have done A LOT of Miras!! 😍😍 I’m looking forward to getting a couple more finishes this year if I can ever get my stitching time back to what it used to be! If you pull out Damask Roses to start you’ll have to let me know - I’m starting that one on May 1st! 😃
I need mag eyes, I don’t think they look ridiculous, unless you were them out shopping or something 😉 love all your charts and fabric choices❤️ I’m glad you’re carrying on flosstubing as I’m a recent new subscriber and am enjoying your videos. Have a good week ahead 😃
Hi. I came over to watch your videos after Crossed by Floss mentioned all your lovely Mirabilias. So excited for all your new starts. I really enjoyed the two videos about all the charts. There were ones I've never even seen before! Here in South Africa we are going into Winter so Spring is still a long time away.
Oh dear, sorry it’s not spring for you right now! There’s never a bad time to stitch a spring themed design though, or have one waiting in the wings for when spring returns! ☺️💕
I'm so thankful you decided to continue to film. I really enjoy your stitching and comments. You are a stitching buddy for me. I love the idea of starting several Mirabilia and am thinking I will join you but do the Nora Corbett 12 days of Christmas. I may add a couple of the reindeer to the list as they have been something I've wanted to get going on.
I love the Nora Corbett reindeer patterns! I was late to the party on those when they came out, but maybe one day I’ll nab them from eBay! They are gorgeous! 12 Days is amazing, you should definitely join in on MiraMaynia!! 👍😃
@@NeedleberryStitcher I am checking out fabric now for the 12 days. I would really like sometimes to set them off a little more and am thinking of a hand dyed, vintage smoky white... your thoughts? You have such good insight to the colors and like you I don't have anyone to bounce off ideas.
I so enjoy your videos. Your projects are amazing. I've heard myself say a lot of the same things you say and that's funny. I love your voice of reason. I don't listen to mine much either. (when it comes to cross stitch) Have a great week and enjoy spring.
I love to watch you ramble and scatter. And yes, I can follow you so what does that say about me. LOL. I want to do it all too. Now, I'm into lighthouses. OMG! Fabric viewer????? whaaaat? Now you tell me. hahaha. I've been buying all the small pieces from 123 Stitch. Oh, well. I love the Sweet Nectar pattern. I love the border and the flowers. Spring has Sprung! The fabrics you have chosen are your choice because you can feel and touch and see what color it is. I ordered a few pieces from 123 Stitch to "see" what/if it would work with my project, and I chose poorly on a couple. I wanted to return it to 123 Stitch because the color in person, was not what I ordered. Not a touch of yellow, and it looked yellow on screen. 123 Stitch answered back and informed me that there are DMC numbers with the Picture this Plus fabric so you can tell the dominant colors in the fabric. WELLLLL DUHHHH, now I know. I just looked at the color I didn't know about the DMC description. I'm learning and spending more. Now, you tell me about Fabric viewer so I have more thrills to investigate...After my eBay search for lighthouses. Enjoy your stitchy time until next time. I'm glad it wasn't the flosstube videos that were stressing you, like you said, we need to share and talk about our treasures with people that understand the difference between need and want and don't care about the difference.
Lighthouses!! How fun!! Have you seen the Dimensions Gold Collection kit called Rocky Point? So pretty!! It’s on my wish list (as if I need anything else) 😂😂. I know exactly what you mean about the fabrics, it’s so much nicer to be able to see them in person and know exactly what the colors are. The screens are definitely deceiving! I hope you have a wonderful week and find all kinds of beautiful lighthouses to stitch! ☺️💕
Happy you didn’t take a break from your videos. Though understandable if you feel the need to. Really enjoy your videos. 🤗. I’m not a fan of clothes shopping either 😂.
I used to think I was weird that I didn’t like clothes shopping but it seems like there are more of us who dislike it than I thought! 😂. Happy stitching!! ☺️💕
Thank you for sharing your lovely projects. I'm glad that you're going to continue to make videos, because I really enjoy your content. The spring hummingbird kit is beautiful, and I would love to stitch it. Happy stitching!
My first Miribilia was the Snow Queen. I used everything called for. At first I didn’t like the Wichelt fabric but it did soften up. I’m working on the garden prelude now. Next will be miss Christmas Eve after I get a working copy made which is quite a drive to get it done. Normally I don’t make working copies. All will be going to great granddaughters.
That’s fantastic that you are stitching such gorgeous Mirabilia patterns for your great granddaughters! 😍 They will treasure them for years to come with all the work you put into them! Such a blessing for them to receive these precious gifts! ☺️💕
I loved watching you Mira Maynia plans! I look forward to seeing your stitching as you go on all of those lovelies! I also work in software development, and am not very girly. But I am drawn to similar designs in cross stitch! I also enjoy Spring! Happy stitching and enjoy all of the starts! ♥️
After a long winter I am happy spring is finally here. I love your projects and your enthusiasm! I just received the Mag eyes , they are wonderful, my husband said that I look like a welder 👩🏭
Waiting impatiently for spring to FINALLY get here!! Your Mira Rose of Sharon might look awesome on fortnite fabrics stormy waters. It's a mottled gray blue so your columns would look like old stone!
Ohhh, that sounds lovely! I checked the Fortnite fabrics website but I didn’t see it there, maybe they don’t dye that color anymore. If you have any other suggestions I’d love to know! Thank you so much! ☺️💕
‘Reason’ … haha, that was cute. Loved watching your video tonight. Good luck with mania, that makes me to nervous. Thank you for making the video for us. See you next time Love Spring. I’m pretty sure that artist is who the plates I bought my mom was designed from.
Yup, 15 starts is a bit daunting, but I’m all about crazy and chaos these days! Matches everything else going on right now 😂. Have a great week and happy stitching! ☺️💕
It's hard sometimes to find the thing that's feeling like a drag. I'm glad you found yours! And that it wasn't your flosstube videos. Mira Maynia is a fun idea! I love it. Some of your fabric choices look so fun. My spring weather is lovely and I was able to plan some seeds in my garden yesterday.
Well... congratulations on doing what works... for you. If any endeavor begins to feel like work, its enjoyment inevitably wanes. No finish lines, no problem. I have always been curious about the stitch tracking bit, and I'm sure the reasons vary. Any and all creative outlets ebb and flow... in natural alignment with inspiration itself. Sharing, supporting, and inspiring each other is the vibe I've gotten--for the most part--from the FlossTube community. Some of the foundational FlossTubers have really paved the way in that regard, for those of us not necessarily new to cross stitch in general, but the UA-cam concept of it anyway... to our benefit. I relate to some folks' videos purely for content and expertise, and others just as much so for their creating ethic and style of crafting. Very happy to hear that you're continuing on, as I just found your channel not too long ago! I enjoy learning more about the genre of (larger) full-coverage cross stitch, those techniques, etc. Thanks so much for reconfiguring your perspective and allowing pure enjoyment to override expectation. --from the Midwest, US.
Your comment is so inspiring, thank you so much for taking time to share your thoughts!! 💕. I agree with you on all counts - stitching loses all its excitement the moment it feels like work with deadlines and quotas. So glad you are enjoying my videos, thank you so much for watching and interacting with me here! I love FlossTube stitching friends ☺️💕
Wow, just found you through Creatively Yours, and love your flosstube. I LOVE all the mirabilia's you are going to start, wonderful! I would love the Sweet Nectar to stitch in the spring. It is gorgous. Love hummingbirds, currently stitching Hummingbird lace from Chatelaine. All my best!
Hang in there, my stitchy friend and please continue to make videos. I like your content very much. I am just about to tackle my first Mirabilia; not sure if it will be "Roses of Provence" or "Gypsy Queen," but in either case - I know that I will need your and Lisa at Cross by Floss to give me the encouragement I need to tackle my first fancy lady. Stay well.
I'm relieved you're not going to quit making flosstube videos. I enjoy your rambly style.
I am a monogamous stitcher for the most part. Having a bunch of wips makes me anxious, but I enjoy seeing all of yours.
I understand the need to work on just one or two projects at a time, which is why I have focus pieces that I really want to get done. But I’m not sure I’ll ever get my stack back down to a reasonable number again 😃. But then what’s reasonable for one is extreme for someone else! 😂. Your Kiss pattern is coming, I promise! 👍
@@NeedleberryStitcher I trust the pattern will come. No worries there. My goodness, you are gifting me a pattern! I love Mirabilia patterns. I'm looking forward to all your starts in May. I just might join in and start (gasp) a couple! 😅
@@wendycoffman5161 oooh, that would be so fun!!!!
Hi! I don’t count my stitches, I keep track of the time I spend on each piece. I just started stitching again after a 15 year hiatus. I’m loving stitching again. It’s a better way to spend my time rather than looking for shows to watch. Thank you for your honesty, we all have something that sets us back, and it’s nice to know we are not alone!
I’m so glad you found your way back to stitching! That’s wonderful!! We should enjoy our hobbies, and sometimes that means switching things up when the joy starts to fade. ☺️💕
I am so glad you are continuing your floss tube. You are one of my favorites. I love Mirabilias and enjoy you talking about and showing your charts. Spring
Thank you Teresa! ☺️💕
Hi there. I’m a new viewer but have binge watched all your episodes right from Flosstube 1!! We are farmers in Zambia and it’s harvest time so I am in charge of the weighbridge station. The one benefit of that, is I get to stitch all day and watch/listen to flosstube. This lasts about 2 to 3 weeks twice a year. So today was Needleberry day! Thank you for keeping me company. I love your videos and your work is beautiful. Showing all your WIPs, kits, charts etc was very enabling! Happy stitching.
How fascinating to learn about what you do and where you’re from! 😃 I feel so honored that you chose to spend your time with me today watching my videos! ☺️💕 I hope the remainder of your harvest time is full of joyful stitching!
I love your flosstube, you are the one who finally got me to dive into Mirabilias and now I’m obsessed! I absolutely LOVE Dimensions kits and share that passion with you. Spring
It’s a toss-up for me between Mirabilias and Dimensions, they are equally gorgeous and I can never decide what I want to stitch the most!! ☺️💕
Oh my goodness. I love Spring , I love Dimensions and I love hummingbirds. I too have those little angel/devil on my shoulders. Xoxo
We seem to love all the same things! Happy stitching! ☺️💕
I’m so happy spring is here. I sit out on my porch and can see the buds on the trees and watch the chipmunks running around in the yard.
It’s a magical season! ☺️💕
When I found your channel, I immediately went back and watched all your videos, so I am glad you decided to stick with it, because you would be missed! I love all of your Mirabilia charts, and will be looking forward to seeing them come to life, like the trees and flowers coming to life during the spring months. Thank you for taking the time to share your love of stitching with us.
Thank you for your kind words! I hope you get lots of stitching done this week! ☺️💕
I love Spring - and not only because it is joined by new starts in May!
glad to hear you're feeling a lot better. I think that's another joy with the turning of the year - fresh starts and raise in mood for us too!
Hi. I like your wavy hair.
I like that you change your mind when things aren't working for you.
And I like hearing zips!😂 ⚘️
Thanks for the bead to DMC conversion link. I'm one of those stitchers.😊
You are such a joy to watch! Spring is in the air here in Vancouver WA. The rainbow unicorn made me laugh and laugh. Your fabric choices for the are all beautiful. The magg eyes were great the second around!! I love spending my stitchy time with you. You can never stop podcasting!!! Thank you so much for sharing XOXO
You are just so sweet! Thank you for such kind words, and I’m so glad you are enjoying my videos! Have a wonderful stitching week!!! ☺️💕🌷
You have chosen some beautiful fabrics for your maynia starts. It will be a busy month for you, by then all the spring flowers should be out. Thanks for another entertaining video.
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you get lots of stitching done this week! ☺️💕
I love your fabric choices! Beautiful! I’m thinking you will be very pleased that you decided to start all these beautiful Mirabilias. Happy Miramania 😊. I am so excited that it is SPRING now 💐
I love spring when the hummingbirds reappear!
Me too!! 😃
I love spring and autumn. So glad you are back. I love watching your flosstube videos.
Thank you so much! ☺️💕
The fabrics you chose on those kits are so beautiful. I agree that some need mottling but others look just as beautiful on "plain" fabric. I sure love to stitch spring and that hummingbird is no exception.
Thank you, I’m glad to hear (read) that I’m not too far off on the fabric choices!! Happy stitching! ☺️💕
Can't wait for Mira mania to start and see all the beautiful patterns that you plan to start.
Spring is my favourite season of the year 🤩
Happy spring!! Thank you for watching! ☺️💕
I love watching your videos; they’re so inspiring. One thing I love about Mirabilia’s is that there are so many possible fabric options that can look great and it can lead to very different-looking final pieces. I think your choices will look great!
Thanks Amy!! I’m looking forward to having as many Miras on the go as you do, I’ve got a long way to go for that though. 😉 Your stitching is magical, watching your videos is like escaping into a fairy tale world ☺️💕
@@NeedleberryStitcher you’re so sweet! Thank you for such kind words. I wish you at least as much enjoyment in your Mira journey as I’ve had.
Loved watching your choices of fabrics w/patterns! Very happy flosstube wasn't what was pushing on your well being - I would miss visiting with you. Spring in my second favorite season.
Thank you so much for visiting my channel! I hope you’re having a great week with lots of time for stitching!! ☺️💕
I realized in your last video that we are near each other. I'm excited about Spring! Hummingbirds come every year along with other wildlife.
That’s awesome! I hope at some point to try to plan a stitching meet up for anyone in the St Louis area who might be interested! 👍😃
@@NeedleberryStitcher I would be interested to see how many of us there are.
New to your flosstube and want to say I am glad you stopped counting instead of taking a break from flosstube. I totally enjoyed your entire video. I’ll be back for more & plan to binge watch your previous videos. I live in Central FL and we seem to skip Spring here - starting to feel like summer. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for watching! 😃💕
I think you have chosen perfect fabrics for your Mira's. Love love love your videos. Haven't stitched in 3 weeks. My lazy stitchy bug is here. However, I have been ordering patterns, fabric and many other supplies. I look forward to following your progress for Maynia. Happy Stitching.
We all have phases where stitching takes a back seat, your regular stitchy bug will be back soon!! Thanks so much for watching! ☺️💕
I'm loving all the mira starts you are going to be doing in May. I currently have 3 kitted up but I haven't actually started one just yet 😆😆. I would love to stitch the spring pattern it looks gorgeous. Happy stitching everybody!!
Looking forward to all your Mirabilia starts and I also looking forward to Spring. Glad you decided to continue with your floss tube. Looking forward to your next one. Happy stitching!
Happy stitching to you as well!! ☺️💕
So glad you’re sticking with Flosstube! I enjoy your videos! Lovely choices for your Mira Maynia, I can’t wait to see your progress!
Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great week, with lots of time for stitching! ☺️💕
I love your May plans! Mirabila designs is a top favorite of mine. Your Maynia plans are so awesome. Spring is such a lively time. Thanks for staying on floss tube! ❤️
Love the Miras. I'm a spring baby& hummingbirds are my favorite birds. They're beautiful to watch
You crack me up with your voice of reason! Lol
My husband tends to be mine. He keeps telling me that I have enough stitchy stuff. He’s so silly!
As if we can ever have enough!! 😂😂
I love your sense of humor, I had a few chuckles over your little unicorn!!! I have the same problems with the voice, but I also go ahead and do it any was. All your choices of fabric for your Mirabilia look great. I am looking forward to seeing your progress. I love Dimensions kits, the spring hummingbird plate kit is gorgeous. I am glad you decided to stop counting and to continue making floss tube videos. I don't comment on every video, but I do watch and enjoy each one. Take care and happy stitching!!!
Thank you so much for watching! I think we all have a little inner unicorn 😂 I hope you have a great week and have plenty of time for stitching ☺️💕
I love, love, love your FlossTube video's.
I am slowly transitioning to Spring patterns as the weather herd in NC grows warmer.
Love your flosstubes I too am a mirabillia and dimensions fan. Spring is my favourite season of the year .
Thanks so much for watching!👍😃
I love that spring finally has arrived☀️We had still snow at the beginning of the month 🙈
Oh my, when you mentioned dropping your channel…I said oh no. You are on my list of favorites. I think we are alike, I hate to shop, own mag eyes, collect mirabilia and stitch one project at a time. But flosstube changed that. I won’t say how many I have started but I am enjoying every stitch. That said I will Spring off the bed and dream of my hummingbirds.
Thank you for the sweet comment, I appreciate it so much! Have a wonderful week, I hope you have lots of time to stitch! ☺️💕
I love watching your flosstubes! Who's to say that those columns weren't painted blue? There's no rule on what color columns are. LOL! Go for it! You can blame me if you don't like it. :-) And my favorite time of year is Spring!
Yessss! I love your take on the columns!! Thank you so much for the encouragement, I think I’ll just go for it! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Mirabilia stitched that wasn’t beautiful all on its own regardless of what fabric it was stitched on! 👍😃
Thank you for sharing your projects, that's a lot of Mirabilias and I love the fabrics you've chosen. Have a great week and stitch on!
I love love Spring!!! Sweet Nectar has been on my unicorn list for a while now. Luda made me fall in love with that kit. Spring would be a perfect time to start it! I really enjoy your Flosstube channel😊
Thanks! I love spring too, and I fell in love with Sweet Nectar through Luda’s channel also!! 👍😃
That's so awesome! I recently stitched "Veronica as a companion piece for my "Sabrina" They're on my wall facing eachother 😊 "Sabrina" is wearing the same dress Audrey Hepburn wears in "Sabrina" the movie. And Veronica's dress reminds me of Scarlett O'Hara so they had to be together ☺️ Your Mirabilia collection should be insured!!! It's fantastic!
@@sandram3408 Oh, I bet they look amazing next to each other, I love that idea!! I like that Nora creates patterns that can be stitched in pairs or in groups and are alike in that way! What do you think of the new Rosamund design? I think it will be beautiful stitched with Sleeping Beauty or Sleeping Princess!
@@NeedleberryStitcher I really like that too, that you can stitch friends for them🤭 I'm going to be getting the "Rosamund" pattern. I haven't been attracted to any of her "bed ladies" in the past but I love this one. I like the touch of red of the roses, the design of the bed posts and the pattern in the bed linens, Nora is a phenomenal artist! Such a genius!
Spring is springing in Minnesota! Finally!!! Thank you for your videos...I truly look forward to them! I think I may be doing a "miramaynia" as well. I only have 4, but one a week, and I may have a finish! YAY!!
Ooooh!!! Which Miras are you going to work on?? 😃😃
my first was the "H fairy", which i could finis - if i stick with it! I am also working on "Sleeping Princess" "Bliss Fairy" and have "Princess Elliana" in the stash ready to start! Thank you for all your enabling! 😆
You’ve got beautiful Miras on the go, love all of those!! 😍😍
I’m glad you decided to come back. Not many flosstubers do Mira’s and I love seeing all your projects. I can’t wait to see what you get accomplished for May - your fabric choices I think are perfect - don’t second guess yourself.
Thank you!! Ultimately there’s probably no horribly bad fabric choice for a Mira, the designs themselves are beautiful all on their own ☺️💕
Really enjoyed your update and so glad that your flosstube wasn't what was stressing you out....and that you figured out what was. We would have missed you. Love all your fabric you got,they're very beautiful....but the light blue im not too sure about. I also love spring and all my Hummingbirds coming back...I really enjoy watching them eat and fly around. Can't wait to see you start your Memorabilias. They are going to be Stunning!! And ohh yes....that lil devil sits on my shoulder saying the same things to me...mine isn't a cute unicorn like yours. Always trying to ruin the fun 🙄. Looking forward to your next very much...hope you have a great week and enjoy whatever your stitching on 🥰
Haha, yes the little voice inside tries to ruin all the fun! Sometimes we have to listen but sometimes it’s okay to ignore it for a while and let the good times roll! 😉😂
I love all your Mirabilias and have now added some to my wish list!! I love spring stitching; birds and flowers especially.
So glad you’re not giving up your Flosstube sharing. Not to be interpreted as stalking, but I get very happy when I get notified that you have posted a video. Keep up the good work. Glad you found something to help decrease your stress. Our stitching is and should be our joy.
Aww, you are so sweet! Thank you so much for leaving me such a lovely comment, you made my day! ☺️💕
I'm glad you're not leaving you tube. I throughly enjoyed your Mirabilia stash videos. Spring Nectar is beautiful. I haven't done a dimensions kit yet. Flowers bloom year round in FL 😀 TFS ❤
You are so lucky to have year round blooms!!! 😍🌷
Your fabric choices are great. I'm really looking forward to seeing some stitches on them. I'm glad that spring is finally here. Happy stitching.
Thank you! ☺️💕
Just found your chanel today. Had lost my stitching bug for some week now. And it returned thanks to you and some other lovely flosstubers. ❤️
Never really thought about stitchibg with beads. Really have to look that up!
Maybe it will be my spring projekt.
Will definitely watch your other videos!
Thank you for watching, I’m glad you got your stitchy bug back! 👍😃
Hello young lady! I really enjoy watching your videos you are just a special person! Spring time is my favorite time of the year. Keep it going♥️😍♥️
You are so sweet!! Thank you for the kind words, I’m so thankful to meet such nice people as you here in the FlossTube community! ☺️💕
Good choices on your fabrics. For the Rose of Sharon, definitely use the ice blue. It will look like a trellis instead of pillars. The weather is getting warmer here, it is a beautiful spring day today.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the ice blue fabric, I’ve been so undecided! Happy stitching! ☺️💕
I’m glad you stuck it out - you’ve kept me company while I stitch in the evenings so thank you! - Nic x
You are so sweet!! Not sure all my latest videos are quite so entertaining 😂
You cracked me up with the unicorn 🦄 as your inner voice! I so understand about the inner voice telling me “Do you really need this?” I always have items gathering dust in my carts on Etsy and 123 Stitch and a few others sites as well. I go back to the carts a few days later and look over my choices and usually find something else to replace them. Once in awhile I hit buy. Your fabric choices for the fancy lady designs look great! Happy spring stitching! 🧵 🪡
PS. I’m glad you decided to continue your flosstube videos but if you need a break it’s okay too.
I do the same thing - fill my cart, come back a few days later, swap stuff out… 😂. Eventually I settle on something and empty the cart out except that one thing and buy it!
I enjoyed watching your video. I love stitching Dimensions kits and would love this one. So happy spring is finally here!
I love all of your Mirabilias. Absolutely gorgeous. Super video. Can't wait until the next. Thank you and take care.
Thank you so much!!! ☺️💕
Spring is my absolute favorite season. Everything is in bloom and it’s so colorful
I agree! ☺️💕
Amazing fancy ladies. Spring is my favorite time of year.
Spring is my favorite too! Lots of birds and blooms!! 🌷
Yeah, a Spring is almost here! Sweet Nectar Is so beautiful. I agree with you about dropping the daily counting. I started...for the first time...using the Book of Days. First two months I counted..and it was fun. Now I just want to stitch and enjoy the process. Go for those starts. 100 is a nice round number, but I have exceeded that now. How wonderful to have so many choices to match my stitching moods 👍🏼👍🏼😁😁
Over 100 WIPs! I’m glad I’m not alone! ☺️💕
hello from California I'm in love with all your mirabillias proyects and spring is a perfect time to stitch all this patterns
I love all of your fabric choices and a definite yes on Sleeping Beauty and the Christmas one!! I’m not usually a fan of spring because of the pollen, but I love the birds and looking at all of the flowers 💐 🐦!
For allergy sufferers spring can be very difficult! But I do hope hearing the birds sing and seeing the flowers bloom brings joy - from a distance! ☺️💕
Spring is the BEST! Bit rocky weather here in Southern IN- it snowed and hailed yesterday but that's fine, more indoor stitchy time, right? Great to see you and all your Miras- fun plans! I have yet to do a Mira, but have always liked the fancy ladies and mermaids. You do great with your videos- you break it down and keep it real and watching you is always enjoyable!
Thank you so much! I hope spring comes to you soon!! ☺️💕
Loved our visit tonight💕💕💕. Glad you are continuing with our visits. Like you I am in a cross stitcher desert here in the mountains of WV. I am lucky enough to have a LNS in St Albans WV, but unlucky for me it is 2+ hours away and with gas $$$$$ 🤯
I am watching and stitching with my MAG EYES on. I had single focus glasses made by my eye Dr just for my stitching, and his Mom used to stitch so he was in the know😂. But did think about watching tv, or I would have got the half glasses🤦🏻♀️. Saw the Mageyes on Lori Holt FT couple years ago and thought I would give them a try with my everyday glasses. GAME CHANGER 💕💕💕💕💕. I I have no problem putting them on in the truck and stitching away while hubby is in shopping for his hobbies🤪
Good luck with your Miramaynia😳. I have three of the ones you are stitching and the link to the DMC conversion for the beads is greatly appreciated, I stitch to keep myself sane not to frame so not spending the $ for beads (can by more charts instead🤨🤣)
Have way more Lavender and Lace from my beginning stitch days.
Happy stitching 🪡💕
PS would worry about filling in the columns on Rose of Sharon, not column, it is a arbor and they are usually metal or wood👍 problem solved🙃
We should wear our Mag Eyes proudly!! Even in the parking lot while we’re waiting, I love it!! 😃 I’m so glad for online shopping, it’s tough not having a LNS close by - but I do miss seeing the fabrics up close, the colors online through a computer monitor or tablet screen can be difficult sometimes. Beads are optional, that’s my opinion! Stitch what you love, skip what you don’t ☺️💕
@@NeedleberryStitcher Mag Eyes rule👏👏👏👏 Ha back when I started this crazy journey in 1980 there was aida or linen, white, cream, and maybe blue, and DMC was major with Anchor way behind. Was living in Richmond Va and the final LNS closed 2005. I stitched from stash for 4 years and put it down about 2010 for lack of supplies and new inspiration. We retired in 2017 and moved to tiny little town in mountains of WV to be close to hubbies family (all my immediate family is gone😢). We helped FIL, stage 4 bladder cancer, til we lost him in 2018. I was in dire need of something to do, so dug out my old stash, the things you NEVER throw away😜. Was hooked again immediately….I had never thought to check the internet til then. Boy was it eye opening, overdyed floss and fabric, full coverage pieces that were 5+ pages all the new charts and designers, flosstube😳🥰. My stash has tripled, I have learned so many new things about stitching, and I visit with lots of stitchy friends everyday through FT💕💕. Now if we could just find the fountain of youth we would be set🤣. Checked 123stitches new charts🤯 my wishlist just imploded🥸. Happy stitching 🪡
@@jenniferwatts3189 Every time I watch FlossTube my wish list gets bigger!! (My shopping cart too, lol). I’m so glad you found your way back to cross stitch! Every moment stitching is a little slice of heaven!
Hi, I totally feel your anxiety about counting stitches and keeping track of time spent. I fell back into stitching last year and when I see such amazing finishes and the quantity of patterns some stitchers can complete in a month or the year end round ups it gives me anxiety, I just can't keep up. I have to remind myself often that isn't what its about and sometimes I listen,. I love your personality and your honesty. Thank you for a hour well spent. Happy Stitching!
I totally agree about the counting… and trying to keep up with other stitchers who have much more time to stitch. We should not compare, only be happy with what we do and find joy and contentment in the process! Thank you for the supportive comment!! ☺️💕
Thank you for your videos. I love to see all your plans and miras. The dimensions chart is very beautiful and would be a joy to stitch in the Spring outdoor in the sun .
Ive done counting and all kind of games on facebook with stitching. But I'm happy that I've quiet all that. Stitching is now much more relaxing
Thank you so much for watching! I’m glad you have found joy in your stitching! ☺️💕
Spring has yet to show around here. Stay safe and stitch happy.
I hope spring arrives soon for you!! ☺️💕
Ii have so many Dimension kits but I have convinced myself to spring for it. Really enjoy your videos. The fabric choices for your Miris are beautiful. As far as your mageyes,, from one nerd to another: Live Long and Prosper.
“Things are only impossible until they’re not.” 👍😃
Spring is always a great time to start a new project
Another great video, thank you! I'm so pleased you haven't decided to press pause on your floss tube! I cannot wait to see you start all of those patterns and I love the sweet nectar design, what a perfect stitch for Spring 😊
Thanks for watching my channel, and leaving me such a sweet comment! Happy stitching! ☺️💕
I love your fabrics and I wouldn't change one of your choices. Glad your going to make more videos. I love dimensions kits and humming bird was my mother in laws favorite bird. I would love to stitch it in memory of her.
Just finished watching your video and love all your May plans. I am a Dimension stitcher and I have a few Mirabilia. For this Spring, I am stitching Lost No More by Dimensions in time for Easter. Can’t wait to see all your Mirabilia starts this May.
Lost No More is beautiful!! That’s a perfect one to stitch on right now before Easter! ☺️💕
Hi I’m from Australia and I love your floss talk. I too have very few friends who i can share the love of stitching with. I must be crazy as I have just started 3 HAED all full coverage.
That doesn’t sound crazy at all, you fit right in! 👍😃
I enjoy listening to you very much. I certainly understand about not starting anything and since I am a Virgo and I am suppose to be a perfectionist and organized, etc etc. and always finish what I start, I am pretty sure I was born in the wrong month.Well I looked at all my beautiful patterns and I wanted to start them all; sooo, guess what, I have pulled my Christmas stocking patterns and my patterns I want to put on a stocking and am kitting them up, approximately 21. I smile every time I finish kitting one and will soon have them ready, then am going to have a start week. BTW, I have some nice Dragon patterns, maybe you and some of your followers would like to start a dragon SAL. Thanks for not stopping your flosstube, you have a lot of followers who would really miss you.
Christmas stockings, how fun!!! I have a couple of stocking kits but I haven’t started either one. Stockings are such treasures! I’m sure you will have so much fun with your week of starts! I will definitely consider a dragon SAL at some point, as soon as I get through some of my current WIPs and new starts! 😂😂 There are just SO many things I want to stitch and not enough time!! 😃
I am SO with you on that annoying voice of reason when I want to put something in my cart! 🤣🦄 But then just end up getting it...I wish it felt like Spring here in Norway now! Still too cold! I like the fabrics you picked out for your designs 😊
Thank you, I hope the fabrics I chose end up being okay, I don’t have the best eye for color! I think Mirabilias look good on just about any fabric though, hard to make a really bad choice ☺️💕
I love watching your flosstube videos. I think the fabric that you have picked are wonderful. I have never counted my stitches and I have been stitching since the 80s. I have never felt the need to count them. I just work on what I want to and then go to the next. For the longest time before I found flosstube I would stitch on one project until I finished it. That sure has changed. Spring has started here in Washington state. Everything is blooming. Take care.
Thanks, I feel so much better about stitching without counting anymore! 👍🙂 FlossTube has changed everything!! 😂 Happy stitching!! ☺️💕
Just a quick though on pattern number 3 on ice blue. I'd be afraid that you might lose the blue Holly hocks in the background. It might be worth considering changing them to a pink or purple - but I haven't read through all the comments, you might have already thought of this. As always, thanks for sharing! Ps. I completely understand how stitch counting could be overwhelming. I don't know how people do it! I start a timer when I start stitching and record how many minutes I spend stitching each evening. That is satisfying enough for me. I'm glad that you have found some relief from the overwhelm and have still been able to keep up your floss tube xxx
Thank you so much for the suggestions, I value ALL feedback since I am terrible with choosing fabrics! 😂 I think I will do a floss toss just to ease my mind… or maybe I’ll just do the called-for natural linen so that it matches Rose Arbour ☺️💕
Hello! I like all your fabric choices. I start what I want when I want…you do you! Have fun! My aunt buys the same shirt in different colors. I am not much of a shopper unless it is cross stitch! LOL I don’t care about the bag or cellophane noises..it doesn’t bother me. WOW so generous of you to give the sweet nectar kit. Happy stitching!
Thanks for watching and leaving such a nice comment ☺️ I should have clarified what type of shopping I dislike… cuz I LOVE shopping for cross stitch too!! 😂
I enjoyed watching you go through your process in a truthful way that helped you stitch happier. This video actually helped me with my WIPs and goals going forward. Time is limited so why sit around stressed and worrying. Instead, stitch and be happy with the WIPs 😀 This spring I am hoping to start some new Mirabilia patterns and I am buying Cinderella today because my 7 was watching with me and was ooh and ahh 🙂. Thanks and happy stitching ❤️
Cinderella is one of my favorite new starts! I hope you truly enjoy all your stitching and that it brings you joy and happiness! ☺️💕
Your flosstubes are very encouraging! I'm working on my first Mira (Spring Queen) and I also chose a hand dyed fabric. I was so excited when you mentioned Murfreesboro! That's where I'm located so if you're in my area again this spring, I'd love to meet and chat over coffee, maybe at the coffee shop around the corner from my LNS that you visited!! Take care, JBJ
That would be amazing!!! I may be passing through Murfreesboro the first week of June - if I have time to make a stop for a few hours I’ll let you know, I would love to meet up at the LNS (I think it’s Country Cupboard, right?) and grab a coffee, maybe do a little stitching!! 👍😃 That sounds so fun!!
So glad your not taking a video break this spring!
Great collections, enjoy your podcasts glad your keeping them going. Spring is poking through the snowbanks here.🇨🇦
Not much longer and you’ll be seeing tulips pop up! Spring is right around the corner! 🌷🌷
I am amazed at all your start plans AND so many Mirabilias. I am back to cross stitch after a 20 year break and started with "Feeding Frenzy" by Dimensions. I am looking forward to a few more starts this spring. I loved the unicorn voice of reason. Very cute.
Feeding Frenzy is so pretty!! I’ve had my eye on that one for a while. Unicorn keeps telling me no, not yet 😂 So glad you found your way back to stitching!! ☺️💕
Your fabric choices are lovely! Each piece will become a masterpiece of art. I have never stitched a Mira but love hummingbirds. I look forward to their return each Spring.
I hope you have a wonderful week of stitching! Thanks for watching my channel ☺️💕
Mira Maynia== FUN!! loved seeing all your projects! I have done several you are starting. Garden Verses ( I think that is the name -- Roman looking lady with the feather quill) was the very first cross stitch piece I ever did In 1995. I was hooked. I have done Rose of Sharon and Christmas Elegance. I just finished Winter Queen last year and I did her on the called for as well and I thought she was lovely. Damask Roses is one of my favorites I was lucky to get her in my collection and you are tempting me to pull her out and start her. And SLeeping Beauty. oh, and Fairy Moon. I stitched her as well. I think you will love her on that dark fabric, She will be lovely. I love your fabric choices. I think they will look good. Can;t wait to see what you get done and hope you have FUN
You have done A LOT of Miras!! 😍😍 I’m looking forward to getting a couple more finishes this year if I can ever get my stitching time back to what it used to be! If you pull out Damask Roses to start you’ll have to let me know - I’m starting that one on May 1st! 😃
I need mag eyes, I don’t think they look ridiculous, unless you were them out shopping or something 😉 love all your charts and fabric choices❤️ I’m glad you’re carrying on flosstubing as I’m a recent new subscriber and am enjoying your videos. Have a good week ahead 😃
Thank you for the lovely comment!! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos, thanks for watching! ☺️💕
Hi. I came over to watch your videos after Crossed by Floss mentioned all your lovely Mirabilias. So excited for all your new starts. I really enjoyed the two videos about all the charts. There were ones I've never even seen before! Here in South Africa we are going into Winter so Spring is still a long time away.
Oh dear, sorry it’s not spring for you right now! There’s never a bad time to stitch a spring themed design though, or have one waiting in the wings for when spring returns! ☺️💕
Loved all the Mirabilias. I have Sabrina already stitched and she’s stunning. Good luck on your new starts and Happy Spring
Thank you so much! I bet your Sabrina is AMAZING!! 😍
@@NeedleberryStitcher yes she is posted on my Instagram account.
Wish it is spring here .it’s still hot here . Love sweet nectar just beautiful 😍
I'm so thankful you decided to continue to film. I really enjoy your stitching and comments. You are a stitching buddy for me. I love the idea of starting several Mirabilia and am thinking I will join you but do the Nora Corbett 12 days of Christmas. I may add a couple of the reindeer to the list as they have been something I've wanted to get going on.
I love the Nora Corbett reindeer patterns! I was late to the party on those when they came out, but maybe one day I’ll nab them from eBay! They are gorgeous! 12 Days is amazing, you should definitely join in on MiraMaynia!! 👍😃
@@NeedleberryStitcher I am checking out fabric now for the 12 days. I would really like sometimes to set them off a little more and am thinking of a hand dyed, vintage smoky white... your thoughts? You have such good insight to the colors and like you I don't have anyone to bounce off ideas.
@@robingregg5928 Vintage Smokey white looks beautiful for 12 days!! I’m not an expert in choosing fabrics, but I do love that color! 👍
@@NeedleberryStitcher Thanks! I think I'll order it and hopefully it will be here to start on May. Have a great day!
I so enjoy your videos. Your projects are amazing. I've heard myself say a lot of the same things you say and that's funny. I love your voice of reason. I don't listen to mine much either. (when it comes to cross stitch) Have a great week and enjoy spring.
Thank you so much for watching my videos! Happy spring and happy stitching!! ☺️💕🌷
I love to watch you ramble and scatter. And yes, I can follow you so what does that say about me. LOL. I want to do it all too. Now, I'm into lighthouses.
OMG! Fabric viewer????? whaaaat? Now you tell me. hahaha. I've been buying all the small pieces from 123 Stitch. Oh, well.
I love the Sweet Nectar pattern. I love the border and the flowers. Spring has Sprung! The fabrics you have chosen are your choice because you can feel and touch and see what color it is. I ordered a few pieces from 123 Stitch to "see" what/if it would work with my project, and I chose poorly on a couple. I wanted to return it to 123 Stitch because the color in person, was not what I ordered. Not a touch of yellow, and it looked yellow on screen. 123 Stitch answered back and informed me that there are DMC numbers with the Picture this Plus fabric so you can tell the dominant colors in the fabric. WELLLLL DUHHHH, now I know. I just looked at the color I didn't know about the DMC description. I'm learning and spending more. Now, you tell me about Fabric viewer so I have more thrills to investigate...After my eBay search for lighthouses. Enjoy your stitchy time until next time. I'm glad it wasn't the flosstube videos that were stressing you, like you said, we need to share and talk about our treasures with people that understand the difference between need and want and don't care about the difference.
Lighthouses!! How fun!! Have you seen the Dimensions Gold Collection kit called Rocky Point? So pretty!! It’s on my wish list (as if I need anything else) 😂😂. I know exactly what you mean about the fabrics, it’s so much nicer to be able to see them in person and know exactly what the colors are. The screens are definitely deceiving! I hope you have a wonderful week and find all kinds of beautiful lighthouses to stitch! ☺️💕
Happy you didn’t take a break from your videos. Though understandable if you feel the need to. Really enjoy your videos. 🤗. I’m not a fan of clothes shopping either 😂.
I used to think I was weird that I didn’t like clothes shopping but it seems like there are more of us who dislike it than I thought! 😂. Happy stitching!! ☺️💕
I love those plates and hopefully spring is here to stay
Thank you for sharing your lovely projects. I'm glad that you're going to continue to make videos, because I really enjoy your content. The spring hummingbird kit is beautiful, and I would love to stitch it. Happy stitching!
Thank you so much for watching! ☺️💕
So glad it’s almost spring and I found you🎉🥳👍
Mira May sounds so exciting! What a fun way to celebrate SPRING! Those hummingbirds are so pretty and I’d love to stitch them
My first Miribilia was the Snow Queen. I used everything called for. At first I didn’t like the Wichelt fabric but it did soften up. I’m working on the garden prelude now. Next will be miss Christmas Eve after I get a working copy made which is quite a drive to get it done. Normally I don’t make working copies. All will be going to great granddaughters.
That’s fantastic that you are stitching such gorgeous Mirabilia patterns for your great granddaughters! 😍 They will treasure them for years to come with all the work you put into them! Such a blessing for them to receive these precious gifts! ☺️💕
I loved watching you Mira Maynia plans! I look forward to seeing your stitching as you go on all of those lovelies! I also work in software development, and am not very girly. But I am drawn to similar designs in cross stitch! I also enjoy Spring! Happy stitching and enjoy all of the starts! ♥️
Another tech stitcher, yay!! Have a fabulous week and I hope you have plenty of time for stitching! ☺️💕
After a long winter I am happy spring is finally here. I love your projects and your enthusiasm! I just received the Mag eyes , they are wonderful, my husband said that I look like a welder 👩🏭
😂🤣 A welder!!! That’s awesome!! My husband says I look ready to head to the mines to cut gems 😂😂
@@NeedleberryStitcher funny, those husbands, they just don’t get it1
Such ambitious plans for Spring maynia! Love your choices and I will enjoy seeing your progress.
Thank you so much! ☺️💕
Waiting impatiently for spring to FINALLY get here!! Your Mira Rose of Sharon might look awesome on fortnite fabrics stormy waters. It's a mottled gray blue so your columns would look like old stone!
Ohhh, that sounds lovely! I checked the Fortnite fabrics website but I didn’t see it there, maybe they don’t dye that color anymore. If you have any other suggestions I’d love to know! Thank you so much! ☺️💕
It was their FOM...try emailing them and see if you could get some...they are usually really accommodating
@@nanciwilliamson2358 I think I may have to do just that!! Thank you! 💕💕
‘Reason’ … haha, that was cute. Loved watching your video tonight. Good luck with mania, that makes me to nervous.
Thank you for making the video for us. See you next time
Love Spring. I’m pretty sure that artist is who the plates I bought my mom was designed from.
Yup, 15 starts is a bit daunting, but I’m all about crazy and chaos these days! Matches everything else going on right now 😂. Have a great week and happy stitching! ☺️💕
It's hard sometimes to find the thing that's feeling like a drag. I'm glad you found yours! And that it wasn't your flosstube videos.
Mira Maynia is a fun idea! I love it. Some of your fabric choices look so fun.
My spring weather is lovely and I was able to plan some seeds in my garden yesterday.
Well... congratulations on doing what works... for you. If any endeavor begins to feel like work, its enjoyment inevitably wanes. No finish lines, no problem. I have always been curious about the stitch tracking bit, and I'm sure the reasons vary. Any and all creative outlets ebb and flow... in natural alignment with inspiration itself. Sharing, supporting, and inspiring each other is the vibe I've gotten--for the most part--from the FlossTube community. Some of the foundational FlossTubers have really paved the way in that regard, for those of us not necessarily new to cross stitch in general, but the UA-cam concept of it anyway... to our benefit. I relate to some folks' videos purely for content and expertise, and others just as much so for their creating ethic and style of crafting. Very happy to hear that you're continuing on, as I just found your channel not too long ago! I enjoy learning more about the genre of (larger) full-coverage cross stitch, those techniques, etc. Thanks so much for reconfiguring your perspective and allowing pure enjoyment to override expectation. --from the Midwest, US.
Your comment is so inspiring, thank you so much for taking time to share your thoughts!! 💕. I agree with you on all counts - stitching loses all its excitement the moment it feels like work with deadlines and quotas. So glad you are enjoying my videos, thank you so much for watching and interacting with me here! I love FlossTube stitching friends ☺️💕
Wow, just found you through Creatively Yours, and love your flosstube. I LOVE all the mirabilia's you are going to start, wonderful! I would love the Sweet Nectar to stitch in the spring. It is gorgous. Love hummingbirds, currently stitching Hummingbird lace from Chatelaine. All my best!
Thank you for watching, I love hummingbirds too! ☺️💕
Hang in there, my stitchy friend and please continue to make videos. I like your content very much. I am just about to tackle my first Mirabilia; not sure if it will be "Roses of Provence" or "Gypsy Queen," but in either case - I know that I will need your and Lisa at Cross by Floss to give me the encouragement I need to tackle my first fancy lady. Stay well.
You can do it!!! So excited for you to start your first Mira!! Remember that it’s like any other pattern, just one X at a time 👍😃
