Purple cone flower is my favourite flower. No fuss and it comes back year after year. It goes well with black eyed susans which are my second favourite flowers. Cooper is a handsome dude. Love your videos.
I think Cooper is fabulous and the frame is just right! I love zinnias! The seeds are easy to plant, not very deep, and they bloom all summer with lots of colors. Sweet peas are cute little flowers that grow on a vine in various colors. Then there are daisies, which sometimes are harder for me to grow, but I love them and they were in my wedding bouquet!
Oh my garden is doing GREAT! I’m getting canned tomatoes of my tomato plants… canned green beans off my green bean plants. Garden is doing great😂😂😂 Four O’clocks is my favorite no fuss flower. Plant it once and it reseeds itself forever and ever!
Geez, I have many no fuss flowers, but, I think Phlox are my favorite. They are tall, beautiful colors, bloom for awhile and come up every year. I love Cooper also....
Hi Steph! My no fuss flower is petunias. I like them in hanging baskets. Then in the morning the hummingbirds come to visit the flowers. It’s wonderful! I love Cooper! He’s so handsome. I really enjoy watching your flosstubes. Thank you for sharing a part of your world!
Cooper is gorgeous!! Great colour conversion. He is a most handsome bird, with some flirty attitude. Your postal bird pillows are adorable. Coneflowers (butterflies like them) and coreopsis are easy garden plants. Both are perrenials, will over winter and don't require much care beyond watering and deadheading. Also pretty is campanula, which will also overwinter. For non perrenials, geraniums come in so many colours and varieties. They bloom from spring to November, and give great bunches of colour. They won't overwinter, although there are ways to get them to bloom again the next year but I've never bothered. Take care, and happy stitching.
Love your new releases! Cooper is fabulous! He's on my list to stitch because he reminds me of the African Grey we cherish in our family. My favorite flower is the lily of the valley. I grew up with it in abundance and have loved it all of my life. It is a tuber and can be planted dry root or transplanted from an existing bed. It likes semi shade better than full sun. Once it is established it will grow without care and spread. Lovely flower, delicate scent. I know it is considered poisonous to many animals, but I have never known any animal, wild or pet, to touch it.
A no fuss flower for your lovely garden is the pretty Mandevilla! It comes in a variety of colors. It is also a climber and can be trained against a wall or a trellis! I absolutely love your finish for "Cooper"! I may need to add this lovely bird to my stash! He's quite dapper! Have a wonderful week!🌷 Happy Stitching!🪡
Cooper is my favorite!!! I just love him so much!!! And your frame turned out 😍. My favorite flower is the dandelion. Some call it a weed, I call it a hearty ray of yellow sunshine! Even the seeds are fun. Happy stitching!
My favorite flower to plant in my yard are peonies, they come in so many different colors, I plant them in little hanging baskets for the front and back porch area , and tiny buckets next to the stairs. That flower reminds me so much of my mother who kills evert plant she touches, but seems to have the magic touch when it comes to peonies
I love the airmail birds! Cooper is stunning. The cats in cross stitch book is awesome. I'd never seen it before. The no fuss flower that I love the most is Bee Balm. Thanks for the awesome video! ❤❤❤❤❤
I most like to see a bunch of sunflowers growing in a field. Especially the short variety. For home enjoyment, perennial orange lilies are my favorite. No fuss and they multiply.
You're funny. You made me laugh out loud several times and that felt good. I do, in fact, think about things, first that I won't take when I downsize, but then inevitably, I think about what will go to the nursing home with me. I do have more than a couple of things I have stitched that would be hard to leave behind. 🙂 Cooper is beautiful! I love the floss you used for the letters. As for favorite flowers, I have a bed of purple dutch iris (I live in Georgia) that bloom faithfully every year with no care at all. They are always beautiful.
A great big hug back to you! Cooper is stunning. Getting ready to stitch the newest Air Mail bird. I love birds. Just saw a picture of a black throated bushtit and thought of you. It's black, white and orange with a little mask, reminding me of Halloween. My go to, no fail flower is the geranium. My mom planted them along the side of our house and they seemed to live forever. Happy spring!
The easiest flower to grow for me is the geranium. It is very hardy in the heat in California. The California quail is so much fun to watch. They walk so funny, then they start running when they see you. Lol. Cooper looks great! I agree, take him to the rest home. 😂❤
Cooper is amazing and I really love your finish. Also I LOVE your airmail series. Love love love. my favorite no fuss flower is the sunflower. They are no fuss because I don't plant them. They are in the bird seed that we feed the birds in my back yard and they somehow manage to spread them all over the backyard. My husband refuses to mow over anything that looks like it will bloom. He mows around them. So they are given ample time to find their footing all over the yard. As for plants that I actually do intentionally plant - irises are my favorite. I have both Louisiana irises in my shady, wet bed and I have Dutch irises in containers. It takes a year or so for them to get established but then I don't have to worry about them until I need to separate them which can take years. I'm all for minimizing work. I like caring for beds, but I also like sitting and looking at the birds, squirrels, bees and blooms. Also gardenias. My yard smells heavenly right now. My gardenia bushes are almost to the top of the house. I would look at blooms that come back every year if you have time. That way half of your work is already done!
My no-fuss flower is the portulaca. They were my window box go-to when I had window boxes because they could withstand some mild neglect and they come in such happy colors. Cooper is stunning!!!!! 🦜
We love the magnolia tree planted a few years ago. It is our sign of spring and this year despite varied weather it had a beautiful display of over 24 blooms!
Thanks for a fun-filled video! I liked the tips and explanations of how you are stitching the Red Troublemakers piece. I love to plant Cosmos in my flower garden. In my area they are a later summer bloomer and attract tons of honeybees. Cosmos can reseed themselves, so keep that in mind. I cracked up laughing at your comment about what pieces will be going with you to the nursing home. It's actually a clever idea! Have a lovely summer everyone!
Flowers. Plant loads of Nastursiums, they are bright and colourful, oranges, reds, yellows all in the same plant and they bloom well into the fall if you deadhead them as needed. You can also eat the flowers and seeds in salads and they grow their own seeds for the next year. They have some that grow on a vine like plant now, some “giant” ones but whatever one you grow they are just cheerful long after many spring and summer flowers are dead or scraggly. I enjoyed the video, lots of great content, I giggled remembering how “careful” you were about getting a pet a few years ago and now you have two cats that you obviously love🥰. Love that you support youth that get thrown onto the street when they still need help and guidance to start a successful adult life. I’ve volunteered with young Moms who need help , don’t have family or peers to guide them as they begin to parent themselves, or maybe they have immigrated and just need someone from this country to help them learn about resources available . Maybe I’d just give the kids a bath and put them to bed so Mum could actually have a bath or spend some needed bonding time with new baby. Whatever identified them as needing support through our birthing hospital. Looking forward to next video. 🥰🙋🏼♀️
Cooper is MARVELOUS!!! I adore him. might need to stitch him. I also love your happy accident frame. It's perfect for him. My favorite annual flower is snapdragons, and sometimes they even reseed for the next year!
I love the projects that you are working on Carrot Cake, Gera, and Garden Sampler. A great plan to work on one flower a day. My favorite flower is the daisy. I love your stamp series and can’t wait to start Red-Checked Cordon-Bleu. The floss colors are beautiful!
I love love the colors in the garden sampler that you’re using. I just ordered myself that chart for Mother’s Day and will be eagerly awaiting your color conversion, no pressure.. Cooper is such a handsome boy Zinnias are so easy for me, direct seed and that are unfussy and colorful, I love the queeny series, the cactus types, and Benary’s giant series too. Sunflowers are a must but you’re already growing those . Rudbeckia! Cosmos! All the flowers, all the time!
Nursing home stitches😂😂😂 Zinnias are great flowers here. Siw them, they grow, the seeds are easy to gather, and you sow them the next year. They draw butterflies and bees and I love them. You saw Colorado Stitcher cross stitch camp has a bird badge and June is stitch a bird, right??? You must know this. Can't think of birds and not think of you. Saw a shoe-bill something or other bird and it was so quirky you immediately came to mind.
Cooper is absolutely fabulous! I love stitching cats. In fact I’m on a plane and there’s a frequent meow coming from across the aisle! Perennials are the way to go. The flower I love best is the Purple Coneflower. It’s so pretty. Looking forward to your announcement!
We lived in apartments for several years, so my gardening attempts were confined to pots and the amt of sunshine we managed to get. Camomile is about the only thing that reliably comes back from year to year and seems to thrive wherever it winds up. Now we have a yard and still figuring out what we can successfully garden but the back corner came with a large fuchsia azalea bush that blooms like crazy with no effort at all. My kind of plant!
Wattle flowers are my favourite. They are an Australian native and known as “nurse trees” because they fix nitrogen in the soil, grow very fast and so provide food and shade for smaller trees. They bloom in winter when everything else has died and the fragrance is hard to describe - sort of like a fresh linen smell and quite subtle.
You just "made me 😉" order Cooper! Just love it. My favorite "no fuss" flower is Mexican Sunflower (Tithonia) Great for attracting tons of butterflies.
My favorite flower, which is also my favorite no fuss flower are Black Eyed Susans! they look like little pieces of sunshine on a stem! Any of the cone flowers are great no fuss flowers as well.
My go to flower is the zinnia followed closely by Cleome. Cleome will self sow every year. It likes a cold winter clime (if you start with seed, you will refrigerate your seeds for a couple of weeks before starting in a seed pot but once you get them going in the garden, be sure you have a nice little area to let them self seed in and you will never have to start them again😊) and does well in a warm, humid summer climate. Good luck!
The flower that I can’t kill is cockscomb, I’m not sure if that’s the scientific name but it does really well here in Texas! The wallet is such a cute idea!!! And an awesome keepsake! 😀
Love Lazuli Bunting! Love Cooper! Omg… sometimes I do think about nursing home but I’m much closer to that reality! 😂 I get very little sunshine the way my apartment sits but the flower I’ve had best luck with is a potted begonia.
I love to plant zinnias. They are so colorful and need little to no attention. I’ve ordered both air mail patterns. Just love these! And I agree Cooper is a keeper.
My favorite no fuss flower are those that come back up every year so I like Daisies, Black Eyed Susan's and Bleeding Hearts (however my doggie did kill mine from going on it too much in the spring last year). I love all of your finishes and WIPS. Cooper is gorgeous! Your new patterns are awesome too.
So nice having a chance to sit down with you this morning. I love Cooper! He's so impressive, and so is the frame. Love it. As for no-fuss flowers, I have to say my herb garden impresses me just as much as the wildflowers, and you don't have to worry about spreading seeds every year to get results. Sage is my current favourite since the gorgeous purple flowers attract all our local bees. Thyme is also quite impressive as it can withstand lots of time between watering (oops). Hope you and your fam are all well and can't wait to see what you have planned this summer!
Oh Cooper 😍 I am now lost after seeing the colours of your Cooper 🙈 Should I change it in my kitted project?… About the flower. I am either the flowers killer or it’s just to do with the harsh conditions of our Australian balcony. Everything is getting killed here. The longest surviver was the flower called Kangaroo paws, it was a native plant and our late mainecoon loved it. He adored it and we kept buying a new plant after the previous was dead. Just for the cat 😁❤️
I also have Cooper! I bought him from Michelle Bendy Stitchy wayyyy back when during one of her de-stash sales. Congratulations on your fabulous finish! Now I should get mine back out! Thanks for the reminder! 😁
Congrats 🎊🎉 on your ffo copper looks amazing 🤩 My favorite flower is called yesterday today and tomorrow it’s beautiful 🤩 have a wonderful weekend and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
I love your videos. I’m a cat person too. You have so many great designs plus you choose to stitch lots of great stitching. Thanks for sharing. I your personality! 🐈⬛🐈⬛📗📗📗
I collect vintage knitting patterns. have a lot of vintage cross-stitch patterns since I've been stitching for 37 years! The flower I have the best results with is marigolds. They can withstand most anything!
Your finish of Cooper is great! My go to flower choices are daffodils (deer don't eat them, squirrels don't dig up and eat the bulbs) and lavender (nice color, drought and heat tolerant and little pruning).
Tulips do well for me. They return about the time you have forgotten you had ever planted them. Btw, the cross stitch going to the nursing home with me is Yule Cat and I bought the Emo birds to give them a run for his money. Love your designs! The wallet is a new one to me as well.
I love the flower, Lantana because I am not a good gardener but a few years ago my uncle gave me a Lantana plant and it grew like crazy without any help from me. I love vintage books too and always look for them in antique/thrift shops.
Love all your birds! But especially Cooper! ❤️ As far as a favorite carefree flower, I like germaniums. The front of my house gets A TON of sun. Geraniums tolerate the hot and dry just fine.
I love to watch your podcasts! My favorite flower is the iris. I have brought them with me from state to state. The knock-out rose is another favorite flower. Both of these are perennials which are my ver favorites.
My favorite no fuss flower is a daisy and black eye susan’s. I love your frame fir your bird friend. Grace notes fabrics are wonderful. I live vintage books also.
Steph, Cooper is amazing! And I am in love with the Air Mail Birds!! Dang, I can't believe I missed the finishing kit for March... I was stalking the site for it to come back in stock, lol. Thankfully I got everything I need to stitch & finish up May. They are so good. I'm also chugging away at my CM Designs( Chameleon) pattern that you MADE me buy & start immediately, that's the first full coverage I'm attempting. Thanks for that, I guess... hahaha. I always have the best luck with wave petunias in the garden. I love geramiums too, they feel so vintage,but mine never look as nice as I expect them to... so I'll try again this year! Last year my favorite flower was the zinnia I planted, it made for so many beautiful cut flowers throughout the season. Happy gardening & stitching of course!
My mom has always told me Geraniums were the perfect flower for a green thumb challenged person lol I have lots of them😂 and so does she. Love your videos they make me laugh so much. ❤
Does your husband know about Cooper ?!?!?! Hysterical. Loved your section about being done with a piece. I have been stitching on a large piece for a long time, and I started thinking last week that I am going to ditch it... today was the day I was going to make the decision..... kismet that I watched my first lindystitches video today !!! Thanks for the inspiration.
Cooper he is awesome, someday... I always loved my Purple Cone flower (Echinacea), and very hardy, when I lived in the suburbs of Chicago I had them and are the state flower for Illinois. also Bachelor buttons you can start from seed they bloom pretty fast and all summer.
Cooper is gorgeous. Definitely nursing home-worthy. Hey--it's something we need to think about. There are so many beautiful flowers that are not high maintenance. I love peonies, Japanese iris and hostas. But rhubarb!! Oh I wish I knew someone who grew it. Or that I could be successful. Let us know how that goes.
So good to catch up with you! I will definitely be shopping for thread with you once I move and no longer have an LNS. Love Cooper! He is gorgeous! I’m not a gardener yet, but will be doing some at my new house. I have been able to grow mint really well in a container. It’s a pretty green and it smells wonderful and taste great in iced tea. I loved the green fabric, it’s my favorite color and named after me! 🤣
I've not had much success PLANTING any flower in my yard, really - the poppy seeds I laid out last year and failed to water were a bust - but I sure love the bleeding heart flowers that pop up in the front garden bed all of their own accord.
So, as promised in my last comment on the last FlossTube, I came back and got another hug. Day made. Told you I’d be back for more. *insert wolf whistle here* COOPER!! Mr. Steal Your Girl. You, sir, are magnificent. Textile Bestie- If I got a random cat pic as part of my text from you, not gonna lie, I wouldn’t be mad. Flowers- I’m actually the All Plant Hospice. They come to me to transition to plant heaven. And if Cooper is gonna be part of the summer plans, I’m in.
My favorite flower that's no trouble is probably Columbine. They reseed themselves and literally all one has to do is snap off the bloom branches after they turn brown and they make millions of seeds to give bunches away. Believe me, millions will also be on the dirt for next year. Cleome is a close second and same deal with reseeding but it does grow huge stalks that have to be removed after freezing. Either of these have a huge impact in looks. Columbine for a month in the spring. Cleome bloom from mid June or so till freezing. You probably don't want to ask me flower questions unless you want an excess of info 😂
Just watched you for the first time! What a hoot! Lol Too freaking adorable. And the stitching is fabulous too 😂. I have to admit I'm a sunflower girl. I find all kinds of different sizes and colors. I like to make some sort of design w sizing and colors ad well. But I have just tossed them all in a square patch before. And it turned out super cute. I try to save some of the seeds from year to year. But if the birds are enjoying them, I just leave them. And now I need a cooper........🐦
Cooper must definitely go with you, wherever you go! Daisies. White daisies are the flower that has never done me wrong 😊 🌺 Ahhh! I just showed that Audobon Bird book in my last flosstube 😃. If you can figure out how to covert the called for thread to DMC??? I agree that the patterns will be beautiful! Love finding vintage cross stitch books!
Purple cone flower is my favourite flower. No fuss and it comes back year after year. It goes well with black eyed susans which are my second favourite flowers. Cooper is a handsome dude. Love your videos.
I'd be staring at Cooper all day long! He's fabulous and I love the frame! Take care and have a great summer.
I think Cooper is fabulous and the frame is just right! I love zinnias! The seeds are easy to plant, not very deep, and they bloom all summer with lots of colors. Sweet peas are cute little flowers that grow on a vine in various colors. Then there are daisies, which sometimes are harder for me to grow, but I love them and they were in my wedding bouquet!
My favourite flower is the carnations. Cooper is absolutely stunning, love him.
I love the newest Silk n' Colors with the Almond Milk linen....beautiful! A favorite flower, Zinnia!
Oh my garden is doing GREAT! I’m getting canned tomatoes of my tomato plants… canned green beans off my green bean plants. Garden is doing great😂😂😂
Four O’clocks is my favorite no fuss flower. Plant it once and it reseeds itself forever and ever!
Geez, I have many no fuss flowers, but, I think Phlox are my favorite. They are tall, beautiful colors, bloom for awhile and come up every year. I love Cooper also....

I’m obsessed with Caroline manning bought mine, my husband and sons birthday stones so excited
❤ My favorite flower is the daisy. Thank you so much for sharing Cooper, and your enthusiasm of him.
My favorite flower to plant in my yard are peonies, they come in so many different colors, I plant them in little hanging baskets for the front and back porch area , and tiny buckets next to the stairs. That flower reminds me so much of my mother who kills evert plant she touches, but seems to have the magic touch when it comes to peonies
Cooper and his frame is awesome 👍. I love daylillies. It is my favorite flower.
I love the airmail birds! Cooper is stunning. The cats in cross stitch book is awesome. I'd never seen it before. The no fuss flower that I love the most is Bee Balm. Thanks for the awesome video! ❤❤❤❤❤
My favorite no-fuss flower is a pansy. Those things don't quit and can take a lot of injustice!
I most like to see a bunch of sunflowers growing in a field. Especially the short variety. For home enjoyment, perennial orange lilies are my favorite. No fuss and they multiply.
OMGOSH Cooper is gorgeous!!!
You're funny. You made me laugh out loud several times and that felt good.

Cooper is fantastic! I love the way the frame turned out, too.
Mr. Cooper looks so handsome in his frame! 💕 For the flowers from seed I'd say Poppies and I do love me some Hydrangea bushes 😍
A great big hug back to you! Cooper is stunning. Getting ready to stitch the newest Air Mail bird. I love birds. Just saw a picture of a black throated bushtit and thought of you. It's black, white and orange with a little mask, reminding me of Halloween. My go to, no fail flower is the geranium. My mom planted them along the side of our house and they seemed to live forever. Happy spring!
My favorite flower is the Iris. It is perennial and they come in an array of colors and blooms.❤
Cosmos are my flower of choice for "no fuss, no muss". Your Cooper is divine. I think I must stitch him now. Appreciate the enabling. :)
The easiest flower to grow for me is the geranium. It is very hardy in the heat in California. The California quail is so much fun to watch. They walk so funny, then they start running when they see you. Lol. Cooper looks great! I agree, take him to the rest home. 😂❤

That bird is magnificent...congratulations!!!

The flower I find, easy and happy is a Daisy. Your Cooper is stunning. I ❤️him. I don’t count my full coverage, I just don’t .
I love buttercups! It is a flower that was always in my grandmothers flower garden and they are very hearty!
Nursing home stitches😂😂😂
Zinnias are great flowers here. Siw them, they grow, the seeds are easy to gather, and you sow them the next year. They draw butterflies and bees and I love them. You saw Colorado Stitcher cross stitch camp has a bird badge and June is stitch a bird, right??? You must know this. Can't think of birds and not think of you.

I would totally be down for text with cat pics! Maybe just one? Love the new releases and Cooper! Can't wait for the Jingle Ball.
Love Cooper❤ I think I'm going to have to add him to my wishlist now. He's beautiful! My favorite no muss flower is the asiatic/oriental lily.
The flower that I can’t kill is cockscomb, I’m not sure if that’s the scientific name but it does really well here in Texas! The wallet is such a cute idea!!! And an awesome keepsake! 😀
Love Lazuli Bunting! Love Cooper! Omg… sometimes I do think about nursing home but I’m much closer to that reality! 😂 I get very little sunshine the way my apartment sits but the flower I’ve had best luck with is a potted begonia.
I love to plant zinnias. They are so colorful and need little to no attention. I’ve ordered both air mail patterns. Just love these! And I agree Cooper is a keeper.
I love wild violets for flowers. I will dig them up and put them around my trees.
My favorite no fuss flower are those that come back up every year so I like Daisies, Black Eyed Susan's and Bleeding Hearts (however my doggie did kill mine from going on it too much in the spring last year). I love all of your finishes and WIPS. Cooper is gorgeous! Your new patterns are awesome too.
So nice having a chance to sit down with you this morning. I love Cooper! He's so impressive, and so is the frame. Love it. As for no-fuss flowers, I have to say my herb garden impresses me just as much as the wildflowers, and you don't have to worry about spreading seeds every year to get results. Sage is my current favourite since the gorgeous purple flowers attract all our local bees. Thyme is also quite impressive as it can withstand lots of time between watering (oops). Hope you and your fam are all well and can't wait to see what you have planned this summer!
Oh Cooper 😍 I am now lost after seeing the colours of your Cooper 🙈 Should I change it in my kitted project?… About the flower. I am either the flowers killer or it’s just to do with the harsh conditions of our Australian balcony. Everything is getting killed here. The longest surviver was the flower called Kangaroo paws, it was a native plant and our late mainecoon loved it. He adored it and we kept buying a new plant after the previous was dead. Just for the cat 😁❤️
I also have Cooper! I bought him from Michelle Bendy Stitchy wayyyy back when during one of her de-stash sales. Congratulations on your fabulous finish! Now I should get mine back out! Thanks for the reminder! 😁
Congrats 🎊🎉 on your ffo copper looks amazing 🤩
My favorite flower is called yesterday today and tomorrow it’s beautiful 🤩 have a wonderful weekend and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
I love your videos. I’m a cat person too. You have so many great designs plus you choose to stitch lots of great stitching. Thanks for sharing. I your personality! 🐈⬛🐈⬛📗📗📗
I collect vintage knitting patterns. have a lot of vintage cross-stitch patterns since I've been stitching for 37 years! The flower I have the best results with is marigolds. They can withstand most anything!
Sunflowers are my goto flower. 🌻🌻🌻
So I bought those track suit pants, and I wore them while I had the 24 hr stomach flu.. that’s how you know how much I love them 😉
Your finish of Cooper is great! My go to flower choices are daffodils (deer don't eat them, squirrels don't dig up and eat the bulbs) and lavender (nice color, drought and heat tolerant and little pruning).
Tulips do well for me. They return about the time you have forgotten you had ever planted them. Btw, the cross stitch going to the nursing home with me is Yule Cat and I bought the Emo birds to give them a run for his money. Love your designs! The wallet is a new one to me as well.
The flower I always like to plant in my patio garden is the good old marigold. Comes in lots of sizes and colors.
I love the flower, Lantana because I am not a good gardener but a few years ago my uncle gave me a Lantana plant and it grew like crazy without any help from me.
I love vintage books too and always look for them in antique/thrift shops.
The flower I have that come back every year are my hydrangeas. They are planted in pots because as an Army family, we moved a lot.
Love all your birds! But especially Cooper! ❤️ As far as a favorite carefree flower, I like germaniums. The front of my house gets A TON of sun. Geraniums tolerate the hot and dry just fine.
I love to watch your podcasts! My favorite flower is the iris. I have brought them with me from state to state. The knock-out rose is another favorite flower. Both of these are perennials which are my ver favorites.
My favorite no fuss flower is a daisy and black eye susan’s. I love your frame fir your bird friend. Grace notes fabrics are wonderful. I live vintage books also.
My favorite flower is Christmas cactus, a friend gave it to me when my mom passed away and it is the only flower I have been able to grow.
Steph, Cooper is amazing! And I am in love with the Air Mail Birds!! Dang, I can't believe I missed the finishing kit for March... I was stalking the site for it to come back in stock, lol. Thankfully I got everything I need to stitch & finish up May. They are so good. I'm also chugging away at my CM Designs( Chameleon) pattern that you MADE me buy & start immediately, that's the first full coverage I'm attempting. Thanks for that, I guess... hahaha. I always have the best luck with wave petunias in the garden. I love geramiums too, they feel so vintage,but mine never look as nice as I expect them to... so I'll try again this year! Last year my favorite flower was the zinnia I planted, it made for so many beautiful cut flowers throughout the season. Happy gardening & stitching of course!
That Cordon Bleu looks delicious! ;-)
My mom has always told me Geraniums were the perfect flower for a green thumb challenged person lol I have lots of them😂 and so does she. Love your videos they make me laugh so much. ❤
Does your husband know about Cooper ?!?!?! Hysterical. Loved your section about being done with a piece. I have been stitching on a large piece for a long time, and I started thinking last week that I am going to ditch it... today was the day I was going to make the decision..... kismet that I watched my first lindystitches video today !!! Thanks for the inspiration.
Cooper he is awesome, someday... I always loved my Purple Cone flower (Echinacea), and very hardy, when I lived in the suburbs of Chicago I had them and are the state flower for Illinois. also Bachelor buttons you can start from seed they bloom pretty fast and all summer.
I love to plant daffodils as my no fuss flower. They come back every year and multiply so I do t have to worry about adding each year.
Marigolds are my favorite flower to put in my garden they are easy to grow and they keep the bugs away
Looking forward to your announcement! Love your videos and your designs! So pretty!
Cooper is gorgeous. Definitely nursing home-worthy. Hey--it's something we need to think about. There are so many beautiful flowers that are not high maintenance. I love peonies, Japanese iris and hostas. But rhubarb!! Oh I wish I knew someone who grew it. Or that I could be successful. Let us know how that goes.
Thanks for this video. A perfect start to my day 😊
I have two tomato plants in the backyard and i have some flowers popping up.
So good to catch up with you! I will definitely be shopping for thread with you once I move and no longer have an LNS. Love Cooper! He is gorgeous!
I’m not a gardener yet, but will be doing some at my new house. I have been able to grow mint really well in a container. It’s a pretty green and it smells wonderful and taste great in iced tea. I loved the green fabric, it’s my favorite color and named after me! 🤣
My favourite flower to plant is tulips just put them in the soil .. and wait for spring!!
I've not had much success PLANTING any flower in my yard, really - the poppy seeds I laid out last year and failed to water were a bust - but I sure love the bleeding heart flowers that pop up in the front garden bed all of their own accord.
So, as promised in my last comment on the last FlossTube, I came back and got another hug. Day made. Told you I’d be back for more.
*insert wolf whistle here* COOPER!! Mr. Steal Your Girl. You, sir, are magnificent.
Textile Bestie- If I got a random cat pic as part of my text from you, not gonna lie, I wouldn’t be mad.
Flowers- I’m actually the All Plant Hospice. They come to me to transition to plant heaven.
And if Cooper is gonna be part of the summer plans, I’m in.
Love Cooper!!!
My favorite flower that's no trouble is probably Columbine. They reseed themselves and literally all one has to do is snap off the bloom branches after they turn brown and they make millions of seeds to give bunches away. Believe me, millions will also be on the dirt for next year. Cleome is a close second and same deal with reseeding but it does grow huge stalks that have to be removed after freezing. Either of these have a huge impact in looks. Columbine for a month in the spring. Cleome bloom from mid June or so till freezing. You probably don't want to ask me flower questions unless you want an excess of info 😂
I love to plant daisies as my favorite no-fuss flower.
Cooper is the bomb!
Just watched you for the first time! What a hoot! Lol Too freaking adorable. And the stitching is fabulous too 😂. I have to admit I'm a sunflower girl. I find all kinds of different sizes and colors. I like to make some sort of design w sizing and colors ad well. But I have just tossed them all in a square patch before. And it turned out super cute. I try to save some of the seeds from year to year. But if the birds are enjoying them, I just leave them. And now I need a cooper........🐦
Beautiful WIPs!
Cooper must definitely go with you, wherever you go! Daisies. White daisies are the flower that has never done me wrong 😊 🌺 Ahhh! I just showed that Audobon Bird book in my last flosstube 😃. If you can figure out how to covert the called for thread to DMC??? I agree that the patterns will be beautiful! Love finding vintage cross stitch books!
My favorite flower is daffodils. Plant them once and they come back every year, deer resistant, first sign of spring.
