Your fireplace makes your room look so comfy. Enjoy your time stitching. Beautiful assortment of stitching. I also like to kit mine up so I have them ready to stitch. It's very relaxing and rewarding. Thank you for sharing
I love all the sheep things too. I have 2 sheep, Frances and Mable, they are adorable. Love all your kitted up projects❤️good stitching for you in the future, enjoy and I’m so excited about your retirement, I’m looking forward to retirement too so I can spend more time with our sheep and donkeys in the mountains.
It was fun seeing all of your kits. Im happy for you that you are determined to get to a few of them this year. It's so frustrating not being able to find those floss colors we need! I'm like you in that I'm content stitching what I have. Sounds like you have a great stitching day ahead of you with the coziness of your home to keep you warm and dry! Enjoy your stitching time!
All your kitted up projects are simply beautiful. I retired n now planning on going back to work..but I'll still be stitching. Look forward to your next video.
Hello from NC Shanda, I’m a little late watching your video but have to tell you, I loved every minute. We have identical taste in patterns, so it was a treat. Thank you for sharing. Wish I was the receiving end of your wonderful bread.
You are going to be so busy with all those charts kitted up. But, it is still winter, so you can get a good start. I love where you live, so beautiful and peaceful looking. I can smell the bread baking! I would love to start 2022 Christmas stitching! Maybe…..
I enjoy watching and listening to you . I agree with you on sewing and using what I have, I love all that I have and need to focus on those projects / kits.
I agree that the Jobienna sampler is under-appreciated. I absolutely love it and I purchased it as soon as it was released. I haven't gotten around to stitching it yet, but am so happy when you show your progress. To me it has a patriotic vibe.
I loved your kit parade and your explaining them you're so nice to listen to..not fast-paced which just does not relax me.I also love both your places, would love to see your sewing areas in a tour and other tips. of all the ones you showed I like the 3 tulips one the best. stay safe and warm!!
I have recently discovered Flosstube, I happened to find it by chance, and what an addition it is! I believe I have now watched all of your episodes, I am amazed at what you accomplish! My love of counted cross stitch started probably 50 years ago, and many years ago took a LONG break from it to concentrate on many of my other crafting hobbies. It seems every year after Christmas I get the urge to cross stich, which I did again this year. Your comments about the Country Sampler reminded me that I haven't been there in years, Spring Green is only an hour away from where I live. I believe a trip is needed within the next 2 weeks!!!! Keep up the wonderful work, I truly enjoy watching your episodes. Some I have watched spend too much time talking about things not related to cross stitch, such as, "oh, my husband just came home from the grocery store and we ate lunch." We don't need to know things like that. I heard of your flosstube from Crosshatch Quilter, I believe. Keep up the great work, and encouragement for me to want to stitch more and more! And the project bags, they are a MUST to make, and soon!
I am with you. I have a small basket of WIPs and will not start a new one until a project bag from that basket is empty. Listening to people start 12 and 40! Projects makes me ill. Be content. It’s a good place.
I enjoyed seeing your kitted up projects. Lots of greatness will be stitched up. I ordered the 2” rings also and was also disappointed. Thank you for the hint of connecting them together. I hadn’t figured that one out.
Just found your channel...what a cozy home you have! And it looks like a gorgeous part of this vast country we live in. I fell in love with that Christmas bird FO...Just gorgeous. Am going to have to go search for that in the magazine...How exciting that you are close to retirement...more stitching time! I retired from teaching several years ago, and started cross stitching again after a 20 year break. I am surely enjoying it and all the changes that have happened in the industry. I only have one large whip. I work on it a little each month, but otherwise, I start something and finish it. I am stitching mostly smaller projects as I don't have much wall space for displaying items. Stay warm.
So happy to have found you! Your wonderful to stitch to ! Your voice is so calming, I love all your plans! I agree that m just about finished collecting and just want to finish some of my wips! Hope you have retired now as it’s nearly the end of May😁I’m stitching on a beautiful Quaker sampler and watching you. I’m going to try and catch up with your flosstube now .
I wanted to use those rings. But with arithric fingers one cant unscrew them. I always like a wip parade and kit parade. I finished 78 things all cross stitch. Only 6 framed pieces. I stitched 29bbd stockings. My one accomplishment was Coming to America. So glad I finished it but didn't enjoy it.
Oh my you have been a busy stitching fairy!!!!! I can’t wait to start my BBD stockings. Would like to stitch the Halloween ones also. Hmmmmm…. just something else to kit up, right?
I love your channel! So agree with your philosophy for 2022. I am also going to stitch the kits that I have and enjoy the process. We have some things in common. My daughter lives in Idaho and her name is Shandra! I live in Illinois and you have previously mentioned that you have relatives in Illinois. I love your taste in charts and colors! Look forward to your floss tubes and congratulations on your plans to retire in May!
I’m kitting up a couple more as well! I think it’s the new year itch! Your bird Christmas finish is my favorite of all you’ve shown this time. Have a great month of stitching. Lynn in Indiana
Happy New year. I just love your wip parade. Every chart is just beautiful. I love them all. Thank you for sharing. I am a monogamous stitcher but this year I plan to do a current holiday small and a Christmas small and work on a sampler each month. So I can get some of my smalls and ornaments done..
I’m into kitting all my charts too. I like to be able to finish what I have collected. I so enjoyed see your kitted up charts. And your stitching that you showed is beautiful! Your kitties are so darling, 😊. Have a lovely week!
Hi Shanda! I normally don’t comment since I watch on TV and it ‘takes work’ to find the video on my phone. Today I am compelled… Enjoy your floss tube so much! Your voice and all of your homes and creative spaces are so relaxing and beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing with us and hope you have a wonderful 2022.
Great video as always. What beautiful projects you have planned/started. I have never seen that Threadworks Primitive chart. So pretty. Love the pictures at the beginning of your video. Someday I’ll visit Idaho. It’s on my list.
Always a pleasure to hear you speak of your stitching journey and life in general. If only that package to talk and tell of all the places it has been and obviously the weather it has endured.😊
Shanda I wish you could see my face when I see you have posted a video. It is pure delight😀🤗😉. Congratulations on your retirement date. You will love it!!! See you in February❣️
This comment cracked me up!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Love it! Never had any one tell me their face lights up at a notification of one of my new videos! Bless you and glad I can brighten your stitching days♥️🪡🧵!!! Thanks for watching!
You are an inspiration today. My granddaughter is starting to stitch. I am so pleased to start stitching this year. I am looking for those little bowl fillers. I especially want to do rows of houses. I'd like to find some from around the world. Even individual houses for in the wooden bowl. Oh yes I need to find the bowl. Just a few dreams. Lol Bl
Hi Shanda! Happy New Year! Congrats on your retirement plans. Winter stitching has begun, weather outside has been bitter. You have beautiful projects to stitch on this year. Happy stitching!❄️🌬☃️
I glimpsed your hexies in the opening photos and wondered if your quilt is finished and handed over to mom yet? Anxious to to see it all finished. I also have to tell you I love the photo of you and your husband outside in winter… makes me smile every time I see it. I am off to check out the stitchers retreat… Happy New Years, happy stitching, and happy finishing. Ps. I love the little project with the wreath around the tree. I think it would look lovely in the tart tin. I think it will lose some of it’s charm out of the tin. I need to look for it…
Hi Shanda! So nice to catch up with you and see ALL the kits! Have a great 2022 and best wishes on your WIP plans and I hope you get to make a few new starts too.😉 I hope to start my Chessie and Me needle roll from the QS retreat too. Maybe we can start it together!
You have some great starts to finish for 2022. I'm doing that as well i found a old wip that must be 39 years old I need to get that santa finished. When I saw your victorian pin keep that tomato cushion you like so much in its little container reminded me that I saved a little round wooden container that Brie' cheese came in and said to mysel,f I should save this and do something with it. Now I know that to use it for! Thanks for showing your wip starts. Happy New Year from Bonnie in NJ.
One of the best feelings in our world is contentment...🥰 Really enjoyed your kit parade as they are some of my favorites! Congrats on your upcoming retirement!!
So enjoyed this video, I get such a sense of peace listening to you. You are a true blessing to me and my needlework. Hugs from the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. Linda
So many lovely projects kitted up. I find that gathering the materials can be quite challenging and time consuming. As always, I absolutely love all the outdoor pics you include. Just beautiful.
Loved seeing all of your kits. The older ones are just as beautiful as the new ones! Happy New Year and a Happy, Happy Birthday! I really like the Victorian Christmas pinkeep. Keep safe and warm.
Hi Patricia! Congratulations- you won my Threadwork Primitives chart. ♥️. My new FlossTube episode is out today and I announced you as my winner. Please email me your address and I’ll get it out in the mail to you. Happy stitching!!
Thank you, Ginger, for being such a faithful commenter and supporter. We could be twins in our stitching style but you are turbo at finishing. Hope the wrist is feeling better!!
Your home looks so cozy with a fire and rising bread! If you are having a problem stitching over one, I recommend Jean Farish's video #15. She gives a great explanation. Stay warm!
I had the same thing happen with a quilt pattern; it was soooo delayed and when finally arrived was absolutely wrinkled and filthy and had been wet...but the pattern inside was pristine. Actually working on that pattern this month.
Love all your kits, now they are all ready for when you want to start them, great idea! It’s great to feel contented with what you have, it’s the most wonderful feeling

I’m a January kid too and will be 70, i can’t believe it, I think I’m still 50. Happy Birthday the entire month of January.
Thank you so much for sharing your “Kit Parade”. I loved your Thread Floss Ring with “Imagine” tag on it. Smile
This is the first time I saw your floss tube and I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it. I will be back.
So enjoyed seeing your parade of kitted Beauties. What pretty finishes and Wips . Congratulations on a retirement date !!
I always love what you're stitching! Thank you for sharing all of your kits with us!
Lovely to see all your kitted up projects. Your finishes are lovely, I really love your Jobena. Keep up your finishing!
Thank you for a cheerful, inspiring video. Blessings from Illinois.
Always lovely to see your videos. What a fantastic collection of kittted projects. I look forward to your WIP parade.
I love watching whip parades and seeing kitted up projects,,,your video was really good..thank you…
Happy Early Birthday 🎂. I enjoyed seeing your kitted charts. How sweet of you to bake fresh bread for a neighbor. Enjoy your week & stitch on!!
I love all the sheep things too. I have 2 sheep, Frances and Mable, they are adorable. Love all your kitted up projects❤️good stitching for you in the future, enjoy and I’m so excited about your retirement, I’m looking forward to retirement too so I can spend more time with our sheep and donkeys in the mountains.

Shanda, this was a beautiful podcast…love all your kitted projects…take care and Happy Birthday in February❤️happy stitching❤️
Thoroughly enjoyed the kit parade!
I agree that the Jobienna sampler is under-appreciated. I absolutely love it and I purchased it as soon as it was released. I haven't gotten around to stitching it yet, but am so happy when you show your progress. To me it has a patriotic vibe.
What a lovely collection of WIPs. I'm getting to where you are... content to do what I have the supplies for. Enjoy your stitching and bread baking. 🍞
I loved your kit parade and your explaining them you're so nice to listen to..not fast-paced which just does not relax me.I also love both your places, would love to see your sewing areas in a tour and other tips. of all the ones you showed I like the 3 tulips one the best. stay safe and warm!!

Loved your kit parade and your finishes were beautiful! Stay warm!

Yum...handmade bread sounds so good! Enjoyed seeing your stitched pieces and the kitted patterns. Happy upcoming birthday!
What a lovely collection of kits you have. Thank you for sharing x
My first time watching, and I. Just Loved seeing all your kitted charts!
Would love to have the primitive pinkeep! Love seeing your charts and wips. Thank you for the work you have done!
You are such a sweet person. I love watching your videos. Lovely work.
You are going to love retirement! I don't know how I ever had time to work between knitting and cross stitching!
I always enjoy your videos, Shandra. Your voice is so soothing.
Loved seeing all your kitted up projects!
Enjoyed seeing all your kits. Hope you get a lot of stitching done in your retirement!
Enjoyed your kit parade. Love all the charts.
So much to work on!! I love all your samplers… may start Jobiena too! Thank you for showing all your gorgeous kits.
I enjoyed seeing your kitted up projects. Lots of greatness will be stitched up. I ordered the 2” rings also and was also disappointed. Thank you for the hint of connecting them together. I hadn’t figured that one out.
Shanda! I just counted my tub of FO's and I have 20 projects that need to be finished! Oh my lol.
Loved seeing your stitching! Great to see your wips!
I’m with you in just working and finishing my wips. I also do lots other crafts that need finishing. Take care
Would love the Victorian Christmas pin keep! Love your channel, Shanda!
Your Christmas finishes are so pretty.
You have a nice selection of designs kitted up.
I would love the pinkeep pattern.

I am content too, at the moment. I just want to stitch what I have too. Happy New Year.
Your stitching is so impressive. I started a small design and think the cloth is too small, I can’t see it very well. 😱
You crack me up Miss Di. Give it to me….. I’ll finish it for ya….. hugs!♥️♥️
Serious😱? I was going to buy a larger weave. I love the variegated floss❤️❣️
What a treasure trove you have there! Enjoy every minute of stitching. I love the little pincushion, too!
Love your flosstubes. Your stitching is amazing. So enjoyed seeing your kitted up projects. Looking forward to seeing your wips next month!
Happy New Year love all your projects . Love the sheep's too
Thank you sharing Shanda. Love your style! You are such a bright spot in this wonderful cross stitch and quilting community! Hugs from NE Ohio.
