Absolutely love watching your video. So refreshing to see you being you. Relax and enjoy yourself being you, your great. Love your fabric choice for your Chatelaine. I’m just kitting up my first one to stitch. Looking forward to your next video.❤
I love your FlossTube. You are honest and true to your personality and that makes for a wonderful watch. I also love to see cross-stitch in the wild, but it rarely happens in my part of the world. I live on the very tip of Cape Cod in Massachusetts and there are only a handful of stitchers out here. That’s why I watch FlossTube. I like the connection. I will confess that the one time I delivered a package from Fat Quarter Shop (I am a rural mail carrier for USPS) I got all goofy and wrote a sticky note to let the recipient know I am a stitcher and was excited to see her package. My postmaster later told me the customer felt like I was too familiar and would appreciate it if I just didn’t notice what she has delivered. That’s fair, so now I’ll just keep my excitement to myself if I ever see anything that could be cross-stitch related 😳
You are doing just fine. Don't worry so much about how its translating over to us. We can all appreciate the transition of spending hours communicating with little ones to talking with adults across social media. We watch you for you and your lovely WIPs. This is a craft which we love, and you love. Its not a job! You are great company for me as I stitch my projects, and I look forward to more content from you. Your Chatelaine "Evening in te Park" is making me itch to start Chatelaine's "Serengeti Mandala." I have the fabric, cotton floss, silk threads, and beads. It will be a retirement project of a four/five year commitment. Please. Please continue to share those family heirlooms of amazing workmanship on whale bone! I just recently returned from a cruise through Alaska. Breathtaking - and I hope to return for a deeper inland experience far away from the touristy ports. Take are and stay well.
Haha so down for the parasocial vibes 😂 Gorgeous projects! Also, that basket is so cool. The way the base and the lid are carved instead of woven is awesome I've never seen a basket done like that. Can't wait to see more native Alaskan art :)
Oh no! Lost my comment. Anyway, thanks for your video - it was great to see your projects and your uncle’s basket. Hope you’re enjoying the experience of putting your channel together - it’s an inventive way to re-create adult “conversation”!
Don't worry, you are doing well. Its hard when you can't actually see the people. Your native basket is beautiful. My Aunt was in the Air Force & stationed in Alaska. She brought back an authentic pair of Mike Luks (sp). My sister-in-law moved to Alaska about 45 years ago, & loves it. She lives in Kasilof. You have some great projects going. That Scarecrow is too cute, & your Chatelanie is gorgeous on that fabric. Keep on stitching! Looking forward to your next video. Marilyn
Oh! That basket 😍🤩. I think my videos are years long because of practicing speaking to adults, too 😂. I hardly talk at all normally and then the camera rolls and my mouth is like, "FREEDOM!!!" 🤣 Looking forward to more updates! 💙
Never apologise, when peoples videos become like tv shows it becomes boring, i just like to see it as from one home to another. I enjoyed your update, you’ve lovely projects, have a good week and see you soon xx
You are doing a great job with your Videos - You be you - it’s your Channel and you can do whatever you want. Love your WIPS - Especially your Chatelaine - wow - this is so so beautiful. I checked out 6 Books from my County Library this morning and I still have two more on Hold. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵❤️
@@lickingfloss - Here are the Books that was on Hold and 6 out of 8 came in: The BabySitters Club -,Baby-Sitters Summer Vacation by Ann M. Martin The Body In The Library by Agatha Christie Dewey Decimated by Allison Brook Red Rising by Pierce Brown Your Brave Song by Ann Voskamp Maple & Rosemary by Alison James These are the ones that I have Checked out from my County Library that I had Holds on.
Hiya, I have watched a little of all your videos. 😊 It warms my heart to see the Alaskan artwork - carved baleen, baleen baskets, the fur baby booties, and beadwork! ❤ My mother in-law had friends that owned one of the fur shops in Anchorage and made sure to get a pair of the baby booties for each of my kids. You stitch a great variety of projects, which is fun to see. You're so fortunate to have gonr to the Queen City retreat and meet everyone. Beautiful Chatelaine! I need to pull the last one I had put stitches in and work on it more. Did you live in Anchorage? I spent most of my childhood in Juneau, moved to Anchorage in my early teens and lived there, with the exception of Wasilla for a few years, until 2016. We moved to the SW corner of MS to be closer to my husband's grandparents that moved down (they moved to Anchorage in the early 50's from here). We are seriously wanting to move back up. We are waiting for husband's grandmother to pass. I can deal with earthquakes and snow (as you mentioned on IG 😂) . The hurricanes and tornadoes trigger an anxiety I've still not become accustomed to. What made you move to the east coast?
I grew up mostly in Peter's creek (between anchorage and Wasilla) but spent my early years and then later high school years in anchorage. I went to UAF for school. I left in 2016 because of my husband's job. I miss everything outdoors alaska has to offer. there are absolutely no elevation changes where I am now lol and I absolutely do not like the bugs and spiders here lol 😆
@@lickingfloss oh yes, I know where Peter's Creek is. I hear you about the no elevation changes. I miss the mountains that are visible from anywhere up there. I have a horse pasture across from us and woods on the edges of our yard. Not very pretty. And mosquitoes? I'm used to the Alaskan mosquitoes. These down here are small and carry nasty diseases. I hope you get back to AK now and then. There's no place in the world like it.
The basket is beautiful. It looks so elegant and elevated. It's wonderful that you got to grow up surrounded by crafters. Editing is so labour intensive. It's definitely the reason I've stopped publishing videos (mostly knitting). Like you I'm about to move to a different area and I wonder if being separated from my community will prompt me to become more involved online again. In any case, I enjoy seeing your progress on these projects.
I also enjoy non edited videos for the most part as well, it makes it more conversational IMO to add, I also never thought I'd be on RUclips till 2 months moving into this area. being away from people you know can be hard sometimes
I was just watching a kit parade by @stitchfitau, and she also showed the dimensions wizard! What a coincidence! Looking forwards to seeing come together :)
Thanks! I have it in my cart now. I’m excited to try it out. I’ve been wanting to stitch on black but it’s so hard to count. Definitely going to give this a go.
Loved catching up with you again... Don't apologise for being you and for being human, we're all different and do things in our own way, if others don't like it then that's on them not you. I'm all for licking my floss and I've never had an issue with any of my pieces, I'm sure those pieces from hundreds of years ago were stitched by floss lickers and they're fine. I've gone on to filming in one go and don't edit because life's too short and fast and editing really winds me up to the point I want to throw the laptop 😂 Your pieces are amazing, I hope you're stitching the head on the fancy lady.... Moving from one culture to another is a major shock, I lived in South Africa until I was almost 17 then moved to the UK and omg what a difference in everything....
I wouldnt worry about editing too much. Like yes it’s nice, but you have young kids so who has time for that! Once I stopped worrying about editing/flow of words the talking to a camera got more natural. I just try my best to film for nap time/quiet time, but if you hear kids/cats…that’s my life!
I throughly enjoy your videos. Your Chatelaine is beautiful! Your fabric color choice is perfect. Happy Stitching!
Thank you for sharing your work! I like your videos, no editing needed!
Lovely stitching and your Chatelaine is really pretty.
Loved seeing your basket that a relative made! It was so skillfully done 😊
You’re doing great, keep up the good work! I love seeing your stitching ❤
Absolutely love watching your video. So refreshing to see you being you. Relax and enjoy yourself being you, your great. Love your fabric choice for your Chatelaine. I’m just kitting up my first one to stitch. Looking forward to your next video.❤
I enjoy you sharing crafting that your family, in Alaska, has done over the years. It's very interesting. You're doing great at your videos!
I got Sleepy Hollow to support Meg, too! Thanks for sharing the little basket your uncle made, very cool. Fun to see your wips & project bags!
Evening In The Park is Gorgeous!!!!!
You are awesome! Enjoy your stitchy journey. Holding you accountable, as requested.
😆
You did great! Loveyour projects
The basket is gorgeous ❤️. I enjoy your floss tube and projects and point of view. Looking forward to more.
Thank you so much!

Girl you be you. I love that you're yourself. And I've been licking my floss for 43 yrs and all my pieces still look great!
Yes! Thank you!
Love the Alaskan native art that you share!
Thank you very much!
Don't worry about editing! I actually like it better seeing it as it comes. Your videos are awesome! Keep up the good work, 🙂
I really like your videos. You’re doing a great job and I love seeing all the progress you make on your wips. Greetings from the Netherlands ✌️😁
i had a college roommate from the Netherlands! happy stitching!

Not sure why "Mike" came up! 🤣

sometimes I think my brain doesn't work because I don't have to use it often during the day lol... lots of pretend play time

I havnt seen it but I will have to check it out!
I love the variety of styles on your wips!
Do you have a preferred fabric count?
i have wips of all fabric counts and I do like 18/36 count but I also like 32 and 28... no favorites here
@@lickingfloss how did you get into higher counts?
Wow! What was that pen called again? That’s amazing how well it works on black. Love seeing things from Alaska!
I believe it was the bohin chalk pencil... on black fabric I use white and white fabric I use a green chalk
Thanks! I have it in my cart now. I’m excited to try it out. I’ve been wanting to stitch on black but it’s so hard to count. Definitely going to give this a go.
@@lindasemporium glad I could help
🐿️🐢🐌🍄 I am team lick my floss too.

I stitched the neck so far ... and I've only moved to another part of the USA and that alone is so different I couldn't imagine another country
I wouldnt worry about editing too much. Like yes it’s nice, but you have young kids so who has time for that! Once I stopped worrying about editing/flow of words the talking to a camera got more natural. I just try my best to film for nap time/quiet time, but if you hear kids/cats…that’s my life!
I'm trying to make it natural lol I know with more experience it'll get better lol 😆.. im also bad at notes so I don't have anything planned out
Editing is over rated. Just roll with it!
