You are starting the start-fest strong! I love it. It seems like it's really making you happy too. And some of the ones you have loved working on will be all ready for you when you do hit the slower starting seasons. You've got this with the finishes! No way you can't get those knocked out. And they will be even better than they already are when they can be displayed. Thanks for sharing with us!
Lol Michele! You just always put a smile in my face-watching the joy you exude when you talk about your stitching! Your parade of starts is awesome-I am so tempted to join you in this 50 new starts 😮😮 I need to think about how I’ll go about it. Your luscious stack of French General though!!!! I’m cheering you on with your FFO plans💞You can do it-look how many you’ve FFO’d so far this year! I so enjoyed your video tonight! And PS, i love your Never Not Knitting purchase! Im happy to be blamed for that🤣I order from her way too much🤣🤣🤣Happy stitching my friend!
Thank you so much, Lisa!💚 I would love to have you join the starts celebration!!! Remember - no pressure. It does not have to be 50 starts. It can be how many are fun for you! I appreciate all your lovely compliments, my friend!😍
I'm sure that you'll be able to finish those projects 😊 Your challenge has motivated me so much. I've never had so many fully finished projects a year before. So, yes. You can do it 👏👏👏👏
Give yourself a little grace with the FFO'S Michele. You have done a lot more already than your goal. You are enjoying starting all your new projects and this hobby we share is all about bringing joy. The FFOs will come. You have realized the joy they also bring so you will get back to them! Just enjoy the now ❤
Just found your channel today. Very excited to hear of your celebrate 50 starts. I’ve committed to having 70 new starts, 70 finishes, and 70 FFOs this year, for my 70th birthday. It will be fun to follow along with you on your journey.
I'm cheering you on! I'm on the opposite side, I'm attempting to get below 50 by my 50th!! I love your enthusiasm ❤🎉 gorgeous projects. At the same time you were talking about how big that drum will be, I had been thinking of she will get that done quickly, it is small. 😅 I know a lot of these you will finish fairly quickly!
I absolutely LOVED THIS FLOSSTUBE!!!! I am now JACKED to start as many as you except I always want to start HUGE projects! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful stitching! XOXO Heidi
My DH and I are traveling in Spain for a month and I downloaded and watched this ep along with the last one on a train! Happy belated birthday and I ❤❤❤ your 50 new starts idea! My big birthday next August is the big 6-0 and Im seriously considering doing a 60 along…starting new things, FO-ing and FFO-ing until I get to 60! Thanks for the inspiration! I usually watch from Northern California. Happy stitching and enjoy all of your new starts!
I am so happy to know I got to travel through Spain with you! I hope I had a good time😊😉 Thank you so much for all your kind words, Kim! Your plans for your big birthday sound awesome!!! Have a wonderful trip💚💚💚
Great video Michele! Regarding your FFO's...you can do it! Just think, if you get them done, they won't be hanging over your head during your 50 starts! Go Michele🎉🎉🎉
Ooh! I think you should finish the small freebie because it’s an easy one to knockout. Then brace face because you have all the supplies for finishing and it’s for the kiddos.
Thank you, Katie!💚 All of the finishes I shared would be fairly easy FFOs... That's one of the reasons I am so frustrated with myself🤣😂🤣 I do plan to tackle Brace Face first - for the exact reasons you said😊
Beautiful starts…I always love seeing what you’ve chosen to work on. I’m cheering you on for fully finishing your pieces. I was going to say as well…don’t sweat it if you repeat something or say “ok or all right”, honestly your videos are so enjoyable and I’m sure most people are like me and we’re grateful for the time and effort it takes you to record a floss tube and I really just enjoy watching. You do an amazing job. I can’t wait to see your next starts. 😊
Oh as a mom you got to finish brace face before the kids braces come off!!! It will before you know it. You’re going to have to kick in gear or your “drawer” will be overflowing with all the new starts. Afterall that was your goal for 2023 FFO s. ❤
Wow Michele. You are making 50 starts in a year look easy! Sally @flossysewsandgrowsand I are planning a joint 50 starts adventure for 2024 as we’re both ‘74 babies. I’ll be sure to start one in your birthday honour during my 50.
Geez I think I do have 50 project bags and probably half of those are wips! 1 HAED, 2 Chaterlaine sand maker Mira’s than I can name! I am however going to start about 10 with you ladies just for fun! Why not? I own them and I want to stitch them! ❤blessings😊 Oh do you tag the outside of your bags with anything? I think I need to! I don’t have many vinyl fronted bags so it would make it easier!
It would be so fun for you to join the starts celebration, Robin!💚 I have not yet tagged the outside of my project bags, but plan to do that very soon. Jenni (Jenni Stitching Simply) makes a tag that is attached to her bags. I just need to write on them😊 As for other bags, I think I will get some metal rimmed tags that I can swap out as needed.
I am going to accept the challenge of 50 starts but I will say that a number of them will be small enough that I can fully finish something every month. I encourage you to try thinking of finishing just one thing, see how it feels and go from there. My flosstube to be this afternoon is going to be explaining my finishing process for ornaments…it is doable! You can do it!
Your starts are fantastic! Very inspirational. I plan on doing some Halloween starts this weekend to have them ready for next year. You totally have to FFO your finishes! Have the kids not been pestering you to finish the pumpkin with the braces?? I look forward to seeing what you come up with for that, but I’m especially looking forward to your finish of the HOD piece from your retreat. The board is so beautiful!! Have a great week and enjoy your next set of starts!
Thank you, Michelle💚 I have been thinking much the same way with all these new starts of Halloween/Fall - I am going to be able to get so many done next year (or if not finished, at least I can just pull out and stitch on whichever project is bringing me the most joy). LOL - no, the kids are not pestering me to finish Brace Face. TBH, they probably don't even remember it because it's been in the drawer for so long🤪 Can't wait to see what you get started!!!!
Hi Michele! Yay love all your starts and Happy Birthday ❤❤❤
Thank you so much, Phoebe!💚
Well, I lied - watched while sewing instead of stitching…still just as enjoyable, like seeing your excitement for all the new starts!
Thank you, Jen 💚
