    Just love it when you post a new video 😊 I know what you mean about other crafts, never been able to stick to one. Watched this while sewing a teepee for my twin grandbabies.
    I have only one WIP, Emma’s Garden an old Lavender & Lace design. So, so pretty.
    Very pleased for you about the retreat!

      Aww thank you so much! I think it’s important to share the fun and try new things. A teepee sounds fantastic - I’m sure your grand babies will have many hours of entertainment with it. I’m very familiar with Emma’s Garden - it’s a gorgeous design. I’m a huge fan of Lavendar & Lace designs 😍

    Hi Carolyn so nice to see another video from you full of beautiful projects and yes I agree with you, framing is very expensive also here in the UK. I’m a big fan of Maribilia I have finished 15 of them and I’m busy with another one, so enjoy your retreat it’ll be a lot I’m so jealous, lol

I haven't booked my flights yet either but I can do that later. I've been to two Mirabillia retreats before (before my life all blew up too) and I can guarantee you are going to absolutely love it. Happy to share how I pack for them and what to expect there but you can be assured there is lots of chatting, some stitching and the chance to make lifelong friends. So exciting!!!

    Welcome back! Love watching!! A couple questions for you. First, what are you using for your large projects that you showed rolled up? Second, do you still diamond paint? I do both cross stitch and diamond paint. I hope you enjoy your time at the cross stitch retreat!! Would love to go sometime myself. Happy stitching!!

    • @TheFlosstubeStitcher
      @TheFlosstubeStitcher  Год назад

      Thank so much Jennifer. I use a Millenium frame from Needleneeds in the UK. Fantastic frames and stands but their wait times are ridiculous now. I’ve actually just ordered some quantum frames made by Omanik which are very similar so hopefully I can try them out very soon and let you know what they’re like in comparison.
      I haven’t done any Diamond paintings in awhile but I do have quite a few projects ready and waiting for when the urge hits me 😂. I’m sure you’d agree that DP is great for those quick finishes we desire so much that we don’t necessarily get with cross stitching.

      Hi Angie, yes I have actually. I’ve seen some beautiful ones hanging from very ornate tapestry rods and thought I could possibly do that with my unicorn once it’s finished. I’ll have to look further into it as to how they recommend finishing it for hanging.

    Carolyn perhaps you can frame the mermaid and gift it to someone you love.

    • @TheFlosstubeStitcher
      @TheFlosstubeStitcher  Год назад

      Actually the mermaid was for me - it reminds me of my daughter when she had longer brunette hair so I think this one will go up on my wall. I have purchased a frame and was going to do it but now I’m holding off so I can take it to the retreat. It will get done when I return home.
      My daughter has always loved Ariel so I think I’ll do a mermaid with red hair for her.
