    Always enjoy a new flosstube from you! I have switched to the nurse hoops after forever using qsnaps. My hands were starting to hurt, but no pain with the nurse hoop. It's much lighter and thinner! I laugh every time I hear you say Drunk and Blind lol The Be Mine goes with this years goal of learning how to do smalls and make pillows! Thank you so much for showing us some extra love here in Western NC ❤❤

    My husband came downstairs and commented on my laughing out loud to your bursts of snarky humor throughout your floss tube (SO much like mine!) I didn't want to explain, as I hold those moments dear to my heart. Then, to pass on your drunk and blind Blackbird piece... I have a few charts myself that I could kick to the curb...❤ Thank you for letting us sit with you outside and hear those glorious bird songs. There is hope...

    Love your backyard, it's so "Florida"; I miss seeing all the green during the winter!! I am absolutely drunk & blind on so many of my stitches - I'm actually surprised when my borders line up, or I don't have to move motifs to make things "fit"!! Thank you for brightening up my day!!

    Good Morning! Thanks for sharing another wonderful video!!! I loved seeing your wips and finishes, but most of all, sitting outside with you. The blue sky and soft breeze in the palm trees were relaxing and beautiful. I live in Western NC, where we're still recovering from Helene. It's wonderful to see standing trees alive with color. In time, the beauty here will return. I love FL and felt as if I was personally sitting across from you chatting about stitching! Thank you, too, for your prayers and praise segment. You are so kind and caring, and your subscribers are blessed each video ♡

    Your flosstubes are so fun to watch. Glad you were able to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. I would be thrilled to have any of the patterns " Be Mine, Grow with Love, Drunk and Blind but the one that really has meaning is the "M2M Roses" my mother who passed away recently loved roses and her birthday is in February " Thank you for your kindness.

    Be Mine , drunk and blind . Your yard is beautiful! I love the birds singing in the background! I’m an in hand stitcher but my thumb is slipping off the lowest joint & I may have to have surgery down the rode so switching to a hoop may be necessary.

    I got so tickled to hear your Southern twang. I've lived in the Tampa Bay area almost 40 years. I must be drunk and blind!
    I miss my Tennessee roots, and my North and South Carolina family and friends. People here still ask, "Where you from?" I need a snarky answer to that!
    Really enjoyed your flosstube, as an "old" newbie to your channel, but 50+ years cross stitching. Love a Blackbird❤

    I watched your flosstube on the train to Chicago this weekend, and my husband just kept shaking his head at me when I would start laughing at your commentary! Thanks for keeping me company on the train! I was looking out at snow as you were sitting in the beautiful Florida sunshine with the palm trees!! I agree with you about Qsnaps - they are too big to hold in hand so I only use them with my Elan lapstand, which I really enjoy. I prefer the Nurge square hoops because of how tight they keep the fabric, and they can also be used with the lapstand. Thanks for another great flosstube!

I feel your pain, once thinking it would be a good idea to take a Disney World vacation in August with hot flashes! Wow I did feel like going up in 🔥! Great projects and I love the spring hoops as well. I hope to grow with love in my cross stitch.

    Thanks for the great flosstube! Grow with love ❤️. I agree with hoop use. Stiff Aida i hold in my hand. However, Fiber on a Whim Aida is very . my stitches look better when I use a small hoop. It's too heavy if I use large ones. Also, have arthritis in hands, but refuse to let it stop me from stitching

    I would like to add the Jean Lea family up in prayer also. I considered her the queen of the needle. She will be sadly missed!
    What a fun video! The first hoop you held up is a metal queen hoop. I also have one and just love it. The queen hoops are the only ones that have the dial for adjustment instead of the screw.
    Be mine, grow with love, drunk and blind. Happy stitching!

    Thanks for another awesome video! You are so fun to watch and I just enjoy all the things you show and talk about 😊 Your pillow finishes are so darling. Thanks for sharing your humor as well, it’s so fun to stitch while chuckling along with you. I stitch in hand sometimes if it’s stiff enough fabric. But I hoop also, love the spring tension and nurge hoops. Thanks for going through the hoops.

    Hello friend, so nice to see you pop up on my Sunday morning coffee, Floss Tube and stitching time. I can relate to "drunk and blind" stitching. There nothing like a good bottle of wine to help tackles those messy stitches. I have trigger fingers in my hands, so I stitch with a hoop or Nurge although sometime the Nurge is a little heavy, so my fingers don't lock up on me using them. Lucky you to have such nice weather. Here in California we just had a storm yesterday with a lot of needed rain and two more storms lined up for the week ahead and a lot of snow in the Sierras, but we give thanks for every drop of rain we can get. We are lucky the storms are spread out a little, so the ground has time to absorb it. Please continue to out pray for everyone effected by fire and hurricanes. Enjoy the retreat!🪡,

Karen told me there’s nothing like experiencing your daughter having a child. She was so right! I was there for all 36 hours of labor and watched that little boy appear. What an incredible miracle🙏🙏 God willing you will experience the same someday.

    I so want that Feast of Friendship. When you popped it up and said you were done with it I was like oh maybe I should text her and see if she sell it to me. So if I don’t win it, I’ll probably have to buy it somewhere. Thank you for such a good floss tube today! And I am choosing joy.

    What a wonderful flosstube! You bring joy to my heart every time I watch. You even had my husband laughing out loud when you were talking about your bangs. I really enjoy using the Nurge wooden hoops. I like the 7” one (or is it 6”?). I keep a little screwdriver with my stitchy stuff and tighten with that. Much easier than with my fingers. I would like to join the drunk and blind club, please! LOL Happy stitching, lovely lady! Hugs.❤

    Hi I haven't watched your videos in a while but I'm so glad I did today. You made me laugh so loud when you put your face in your stitching looking for that white snowflake ha ha !! Loved all your ffo and your wips. Can you tell me what fabric you're using for GH 1857. I went back but you didn't say what you're using. I've been wanting to get it cause I love the colors and love to work on big baps.
    I am a hoop stitcher and like you tightening and loosening the screw is hard to do. Have you tried these little grips to put on the screws I thought about ordering some !!

    Thank you for the comments on your hoops. I stitched many years ago using hoops, but when I came back to cross stitch last year, I started stitching in hand with Aida. I purchased my first kit with a piece of linen and have been struggling with stitching in hand. I will have to dig our my hoops. I would like to try my hand at your drunk and blind piece.

    Loved your video while I stitched in the early morning. I stitch with a small hoop, stab method. I use either a wooden one or the plastic ones from Hobby Lobby, the screw is easier to twist. The one you use is also one of my favorites but my thread gets caught on the big loop handles. Enjoy your weather!!

    I like the square Nurge hoops also. I had a hard time with two snaps of getting the piece that held the fabric on off when I needed to. Plus they make my hands ache. And the other hoops were too hard to tighten or loosen. With the Nurge hoops they are hard to turn sometimes but I found some little rubber pieces that go on the end. It allows you to grip the part that turns and doesn't hurt your fingers and hands as much. I think I found them on Temu. Probably could find them on Amazon too.

    For AOTH, choose a pattern based on the seasonal theme and folks won't know any different. The name of the month is not stitched on the pattern so you are right that nobody will know the family member is not stitched on their birth month. They will simply say his birthday is in the summer and that is a summer themed pattern.
