I am 5 minutes into your flosstube and had to subscribe. Anyone who has 3 shelves of Stephen King books and loud dogs is my kinda gal. Okay now I’ll settle down and watch the stitching 🤣
Great start, hope to see you again and again. I, too, am an avid reader & a addicted stitcher. My tip: Audiobooks (BUT) at first listen to an audiobook of a book you have already read. That way, you get used to listening to a book & not get concerned if the mind drifts b/c YOU HAVE ALREADY READ IT. The first time I listened to an audiobook it was Rebecca, which I must have read 3 times. From then on, I can listen to an audiobook COLD (never read the hardback). Just saying that is how I solved the problem of doing two things at once. See you again.
Yes, I stitch and listen. And I love it! Podcasts are also enjoyable. My eye’s won’t let me stitch after 7 PM so I still read so much too. TV hasn’t ever held my attention but oh, my book and stitch collection (and sympathy to whoever has to get rid of all of this if I close my eyes permanently).
Fun to see what others select to start on! And so many people seem to have started this craft in a whole different era when we were children and now are picking it back up- so much has changed with cross stitch I am also amazed! Thanks for sharing!! 🐝
We had two swarms of bees move into the eaves of our house and our beekeepers came out yesterday to move them out of the house and both sets left within the last 24 hours. We were elated but surprised. I’m glad yours is doing well! Congrats on stitching so well on linen!!!!
There’s a special place in heaven for all the SAL patterns that were bought with passion and commitment and the abandoned for other charts. I believe we all have them. Enjoyed! Do more!
Hello from Canada! Well done on your first floss tube I thoroughly enjoyed it! Love all your projects I'm a fairly new stitcher and I love being enabled!! 😂🐝
Great job on your first Flosstube! 🐝 it was wonderful! And can we just take a minute for that wall of books 😍 looking forward to seeing more videos in the future!
I discovered your FlossTube this morning when I saw an oh-my-goodness-a-WIP-parade-FIRST-video suggestion in my feed. I am only half through but have to focus on getting to work (I’m a rural mail carrier and the road is calling) but I will be back. If only to see if you make it to picking up your husband on time … great hook 😎. But, two things, I just started a small (AKA not Long Dog) monochromatic because I was sorting floss and came upon a heavily variegated Weeks I bought for the name, Mermaid. Had to use it for lots of reasons so pulled out a new start. Now I want to stitch ALL the heavy variegations. Also, my graduate thesis was “Beekeeping in Yemen as Economic Development” because I was, and still am, convinced beekeepers can save the world. See you after work!
I love that you like to stitch so many different types of designs! Can't wait to watch your 2nd flosstube (going to do that now - I'm already behind)😀🐝
Loving your video! I agree that a few years ago there was no variety in patterns and I found floss tubes and have proceeded to fall down the rabbit hole and I have now 2 hobbies of collecting kits and cross-stitching!
Great first Flosstube! Your nerves hardly showed. Really enjoyed seeing all of your stitching and hearing about your beekeeping. The nice thing about stitching is that there are no stitching police and no deadlines. I was quite shocked when you said you had children in their 20's! You look as though you are in your 20's yourself! Subscribed and looking forward to the next one!🐝
Thank you for stepping forward and bringing your energy to FlossTube, Rebecca. A hoot to watch you warm up to your pace and level of comfort by the video's end... The needle minder on your first project shown spoke volumes. You're obviously a well-read (*pun fully intended*) crafter, and on the flip-side... books are anyone's best accessory. Appreciated the fresh breath of air via patterns and fabric materials (hemp). On that subject as well, thank you for stewarding the planet's food chain; no explanation required. Will be a trip to follow along~~ from the Midwest, US.🌼🌿
Great video, I just found you today ! I agree I was a big reader and then discovered cross stitch ! Whoa I was hooked also in 2020 with Covid shut downs ! Now I use my library for books and spend my money on cross stitch stuff !😂 look forward to your next videos !
Really enjoyed spending time with you today and seeing all your fun wips. Congratulations on your first flosstube - looking forward to seeing you next time.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful projects with us! Between your WIP Parade, your bookshelves and you somehow even own a serger (!) - you are amazing! Looking forward to your updates. Welcome.
I think you did an amazing job on your first floss tube! Loved seeing all your WIPS and can I just say WOW on your bookshelf! It’s amazing and very fun to look at! Can’t wait until flosstube #2! I subscribed right away!
I really enjoyed your first video ! You have a wonderful assortment of projects that I'm anxious to see as you progress . I'll be watching for your second video .
🐝 Great first video! I like seeing all the different projects. I'm totally with you on the listening to audio books. I can't do it and do something else at the same time. I'm thinking about listening to the HP series while I stitch on my Frogwarts though, to see if I can do that and motivate myself to work on that project...
Congrats on your first Flosstube! I created a Notion database to track my projects (and another one for my pattern inventory, and my fabric stash…at this point my Notion is a hobby of its own!). Weeks Dye Works’ older fabric was very loosely woven, but now they do dye on Zweigart (shops will often specify which colors they have that are on Zweigart).
🐝 Happy first flosstube.....so glad you decided to take the plunge, was a great WIP parade, so many great projects and absolutely love your book collection as well. I'm absolutely in on Thea Thursday, just need to choose a kit and get it ordered lol Happy Stitching -Kimberly
Enjoyed your video! You did great! I just wanted to mention - I've used lots of the Valdani - I'm a 2 strand stitcher - but found you sort of have to figure where to cut it off so that the 3rd strand variagtion matches the 3rd strand of the next pull-off. I'm new back to cross stitch after 25+ years.... boy is it different! I am set to do a chart that says 'Buying cross-stitch as if I'm immortal'. I watch Nicola - Simply a Stitcher - she has amazing ways to start, then stitch and likes to match up the which way with the piece.... great good joy to you!
"Halloween is a lifestyle, not a holiday" 😂 Can we get that on a shirt??? Subscribed! You also had me at, 'If not ironing things is going to bother you, there a lots of other cross stitch videos on youtube you can watch' lol Love it!
Welcome to Flosstube! It is so nice to have another Seattle area stitcher around! All your wips are great, I love your eclectic taste in stitching, I have pretty much the same feeling about my stitching - like and stitch everything))
Hi Beck. What a great first video! You really relaxed into it as you went along. You're my kind of stitcher - wywwyw, lots of genres and keeping lots of records takes up too much stitching time! I write the fabric details on the edge of my piece of fabric, so I'll always know what it is. Thank you for taking the plunge. I've subscribed. 😊🐝 Suggestion for your problematic Mirabilia: Deb Wilson flosstuber uses a lot of Silks4U and told me she uses their white now instead of DMC. I'm planning to try that next time.
Loved your Golden Girls needle minder! As one of my wips is the golden girls that my daughter bought me because when her Dad worked nights we would watch it on late night on Nickelodeon till we went to bed. And when I started up again cross stitch she had to buy it for me almost done with it. I subscribed to your channel keep up the RUclips’s see you on the next one!🎉BMOG
Hi. Just found your floss tube. You did a fantastic job. I love all your wips. I have the witch goddess pattern too. I love her. Haven't started it yet.
I'm over here trying to read all the titles on your bookshelf! So many colorful books! Love those The Artsy House wife patterns, especially the first one you showed. I am a child of the 90s as well and I agree, cross stitching was different back then. I learned back then, and in 2021 I started up again because I was shocked at the amount of variety there was out there! I like doing nerdy and funny stitches! Love your vibes, can't wait to see more! Looking forward to seeing some of your finishes too!
Hello. Thanks for sharing your projects with the community. On the topic of how many stitches versus how much time one has remaining, there is a channel called the SABLE stitchers. Roberta and Linnie named their channel after that exact sentiment. It stands for stash acquired beyond life expectancy. I think most stitchers live with at least a bit of that in the back of our minds. It’s not morbid, just a factual part of a slow craft or hobby. Anyway, it was nice to “meet” you.
Yes! SABLE is a goal - that way I'll never run out of projects! 😂 Lucy Beam also has a great pattern on this theme - Buying Cross Stitch Like I'm Immortal.
Congratulations on your first floss tube 🎉 You did an awesome job. Loved the variety of WIPs. I knew I was gonna subscribe within minutes. Looking forward to your next.🪡❤
I hit subscribe as soon as you brought out those lovely Miras. 😍 Congrats on your first video - all of your projects are beautiful and I look forward to seeing more from you!
Hello from Tennessee! It was wonderful to watch your first video and I'm looking forward to more. My hubby and I are book lovers. (Is there anything better than finding a first edition hardback book you've been searching for?) Audio books while stitching can become such a lovely bit of time. We have 2 beehives ready to start. Hoping that next year those will be going. I like a wide variety of stitch styles also. Have you watched "the potty mouth stitcher"? We all share the love of colorful language. 🤣. Thank you for 🐝 beeing yourself. See you soon
Very nice video and love your projects. I saw A few of yours that I will be adding to my wips. The patterns and fabrics today are so dynamic it is impossible for me to resist.
Hi, Rebecca! Welcome to FlossTube! You did awesome! Love all your projects. I need to rewind to find the butterfly one! WOW, that is some mystery book collection! Will look forward to your next video! 🐝 Bobbie
I can’t decide which is better: your wide range of wip materials, or your bookshelves!! ❤❤❤
Yes! Please do a slow pan on those shelves. I am a sister bibliophile.
❤🧵🪡❎️☑️📚
Haha my son came into the room and he and I were trying to read your titles
🐝🐝🐝 I enjoyed watching your first Flosstube. So many varied projects. Keep on doing them.
Have you read all the books we can see behind you?? This is a wonderful back drop!!! 💕
Welcome to the flosstube community!!

You’ve got three kids in their early 20’s? Are you kidding? You only look 26 yourself! Fab video, greetings from the U.K. 👍🤗🇬🇧
You are too sweet! 😊
I had the same thought!
Fun to see what others select to start on! And so many people seem to have started this craft in a whole different era when we were children and now are picking it back up- so much has changed with cross stitch I am also amazed! Thanks for sharing!! 🐝
I’m so happy to see younger stitchers picking up this craft! It would have been lost in the coming decades otherwise.
Books and cross stitch are my thing! Gardening for bees and butterflies too. Loved your video. Looking forward to more! Thank you!
I enjoyed seeing all your different WIPs! I also love to read and enjoyed the backdrop filled with books. 🐝

🐝 I loved everything about this, so relatable.. especially the lack of options back in the day, now we have endless choices 😊
Thank you so much for watching! Every day I’m discovering new fun designs! It’s dangerous 💸
Oh I love the house crosstitch and the idea of stiching when you read the books.
Hello from Canada! Well done on your first floss tube I thoroughly enjoyed it! Love all your projects I'm a fairly new stitcher and I love being enabled!! 😂🐝

Awesome first FlossTube! Great WIPS… As a funny side I started a list of books to read from your shelf behind you. Looking forward to future shows.
I love that! Let me know what you choose to read first!
