I really enjoyed your video. LOVED THE MUSHROOM ANF FERN STITCHED PIECE. The frame looked beautiful on camera. I know how you feel about paying hundreds on getting stitching framed, especially when you are giving it away as a gift. Thanks you for all you do for the crosstitch community. You are a special person to help with the children in your community.

Although I always enjoy for delightful visits - the one where you shared your other personal pursuits is my absolute favorite. I also am deeply committed spiritually and love the writings and wisdom of our faith fathers - plus service to others feeds my soul. Not many people see these pursuits as time-worthy, but I personally think they are missing out. May we walk in God’s presence each day. 💕 Toni

Stephanie, I understand about childhood trauma. I went through it myself and then when my niece was about three and a half she started going through it. She had cut off most of her hair, being left at home alone, and later on down the road was partially placed in my custody. I had her from Friday afternoons til Monday mornings. I chose not to have my own children, and being put in that role was a semi shock, but I wouldn't take it back for the world. I taught her how to play sports, ride a bike, and we continue to be close, she just turned 22. Thanks😊

Another Mary Oliver fan! I have Forest Home too and the fact that you charted a Mary Oliver piece into it makes me really eager to start it. Also, the thrift frame for Mushroom and Fern is perfect! If you had anything larger or more fancy it would take away from the beauty you created. It was really nice of you to share more about yourself. The rays of care and happiness that shine from you is broad in reach. Grateful for people like you in this world.

I started stitching in the early 90’s. I remember that cute bunny. Tea Jacket Bouquets 😂. We’ve come along way. One hundred magazines? Have you seen a cross stitch picture of a little girl siting on a window ledge staring out into the night with stars in the sky? I always wanted to stitch it. Even now all these years later I still think of her. Great job on Mushroom and Fern. 🎉

Being a Child Advocate is quite amazing .... Your chat about older magazine had me giggling as while watching I was stitching a chart including checker board pattern from an old magazine from Cross Country Stitching. These have not been published for years. So although I am over in Wales , I have a small collection of these and enjoy reading over the adverts and 'other' crafts which CCS had to offer.

Ah, yes Leisure Arts magazine. I remember it well. Those horse' s legs tell a tale of my past, but honestly I saw worse in those days. If a pattern you wanted had a really bad place like that, your only options were to crop that part out of the picture or to re-chart that little piece yourself. I eventually took a course from Pat Rogers of Counted Collection fame at a Spirit Of Cross Stitch. She showed you how to make lines straighter with whole stitches because she disliked fractional stitches. Those bad old days produced some good old memories!

What a great light bulb moment you had in regards to measuring your finished projects and keeping the measurements on hand for when you hit thrift stores.

I have decades worth of them and it would be fun to dive back into them. Who knows what we may find!

@frontofficed.burnell-power6288 Ай бұрын

Thanks for the flosstube Stephanie and a glimpse of your personal life. It does feel vulnerable to tell people about the important parts of our lives that are not our shared hobbies. I worked (professionally) for years with sex trade workers and retrained about 18 years ago and now work with families and children with acquired brain injury or developmental neuro deficits. In both jobs, like you, I was working with invisible segments of the population that kind of represent people's worst fears. So it can be difficult to discuss in a casual conversation. But people all know someone and talking about it humanizes everyone. Very important these days when we find it is just more comfortable to talk about cross stitch.

I so enjoyed your cross stitch chat! Especially the vintage magazine walk through! I was just getting into cross stitch in the early nineties and love seeing the old magazines! Volunteering to help children in need is so inspiring! I had to laugh about you spending your packing time on cross stitch!! I do the same thing, sometimes trying to find a pattern that relates to where I’m going! Not many people would understand this! I get the eye roll around here. I also like to crochet flat, square, or rectangular things as a break from cross stitch or in the car. I always think of Momma Loves You GB(flosstube) and how she calls crochet a dark art as it only uses one hook and she can only knit😊. Happy Spring!

90s cute is totally a thing especially when it comes to cross stitch kitchen stuff (when it comes to non-cross stitch stuff, I have a late 70s in the 80s fondness - luckily my parents actually gave me their late 70s veggies from the kitchen wall so I didn’t have to find replicas, because they have been over them for so long, but I still think they are awesome!)

Thank you for taking the time to "re-photograph" floss. There is nothing more frustrating to me as a customer than to have to go to multiple sites to try to determine how far apart they are on their photos and "guessing" what the true color is! Your site is one of the best!!!! Thank you!

I'm just getting back into stitching after a couple decades of barely picking it up. My thought was to work on some smallish, finishable projects . . . then you show me Mushroom and Fern - WHAT?????

I was on the fence about ordering Morning and Evening by Charles’s Spurgeon. (We are on a tight budget). It’s been in my “save for later” cart for a while and would you look at that… it was on sale. I did not expect to hear about that devotional whatsoever in a floss tube lol. Look how God just used you 😊. It arrived yesterday and I love it. It was so nice to hear about your personal life and it brought such a smile to my face to hear about your faith. Keep walking with Him and encouraging others to join along the way. That’s so awesome you guys do a little study group! I really hope my husband and I can do that someday. You are a joy to listen to! Your stitching is beautiful! What a finish!!! Also your photography 💯. That has always drove me bonkers while shopping online that the photos can be pretty terrible. Good on you for taking the initiative and making it right. Have a great month of May.

Mushroom and green is amazing. Both the stitch and the frame. You are doing great things with your shop. Since most of us need to shop by the internet, your changes are so important to us. Thanks.
