The joy when you find a new to you Flosstuber and you binge watch all of her videos and see her finish a BAP. It took you awhile but for me it went quicker. Amanda… what an amazing finish! Bravo! Just LOVE it❣️❣️❣️
Hi Amanda!! Congratulations on your incredible finish, that was definitely a labor of love! You have so much stitching done, and I loved seeing all of your haul ! Off to watch your next video, hugs❤❤❤
Speaking only for myself, I usually love the haul portion because I see charts I might not ever see anywhere else. I'm 66 and have been Xstitching most of my life but was really into in the 70's & 80's. I gave everything away as gifts so was monogamous (but now I'm thrilled to be promiscuous, if only through needle and thread 💗) I usually keep a running total of about 200 RUclips videos. Not all are flosstube. If someone new pops up, I give them a chance. But I did recently cull my subscribed list, only because I was having cell phone storage issues so I have been cleaning house, so to speak! I love your Mirabelias and have about a dozen, mostly mermaids I bought in the 90's when there was a lovely shoppe nearby. But I never kitted my mermaids and am in the process of trying to find the beads & Kreinik. You inspired me to jump in so I want to thank you for that. I did just purchase the four seasons of Celtic ladies plus Royal Holiday. They are not kitted... P.S. I am not crazy about Teresa Wentzler but I do love the sled piece you just received! I think its pretty, but just not something I'd choose to do.
Yay! I'm so glad you are going to start a mira mermaid! I like to see haul because I don't have an LNS to go to to see all the things! My WIP count has been climbing but I'm hoping to get a couple finishes this month! Take care!
You make me smile 😊 I am keeping your Mom in my prayers for her biopsy to be clean and for a return to full health. Wahoo 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 your Cinderella stitch finish is AMAZING 😻 I need to take a page from your book and actually finish something 😂 to the dark side, I am ❤️ have a great summer! I’ll be waiting for you whenever you come back! Lots of love ❤️
Thank you for your kind words and your prayers! You will like it on the dark side! Everything is pretty and girly over here!😂😂 Have a wonderful summer my friend!🤗
I know I'm late to the party, but congrats on your finish! I've had the Cinderella kit for a LONG time and am going to be starting it soon! ❤ I just started flosstube and I'm loving catching up on everyone's projects!
Congratulations on your finish!!!! I’m stitching that one and am about 1/3 of the way on it. Also, I agree 💯 about the OG Anne of Green Gables and Pride and Prejudice. I can appreciate the Kiera Knightley version but I have to set it apart in my head 😂
Hi alicia! Thanks for watching! Yes, I saw that you had Cinderella as a WIP on your wip parade. It's confettitastic!😂 it's a fun stitch if you can survive the French knots. I love your names of jesus project. I have that one on my "to stitch" list! I really like the kiera knightly version but when people talk the "superior " version, definitely the 90's, Collin firth version. What can I say...I'm "old school"!😂
@@luckychancestitcher I’m definitely going to get good at French knots hahaha. Oh fun I can’t wait to see you stitch that one! Yes Team Collin Firth all the way 😍👍🏼
Hey again, Amanda! Just catching up. Your Cinderella finish is quite impressive! 😍 I love that angel holding a child kit you found. What a great piece, but shocking it's not more popular. It's really gorgeous. Utah is definitely a more prepared-for-snow kind of state than Texas... haha! I laugh at Utahans that drive super weird and slow in the rain because it doesn't rain often here. I'm from the Northwest of the US (Washington state/Oregon) and drove in the rain almost all year. 😅
Thank you! Honestly, I had a hard time with French knots too and then something clicked in my brain and I could do them! Keep trying, you will get it eventually!🤗
Wow - your Cinderella finish is gorgeous!! Thanks for the heads-up about the fractionals. I have one of the kits (I forget the name of it) and had already planned on swapping out the kit aida for an evenweave.. I'll be sure to use that instead of the aida. I had heard a couple of other flosstubers mention that someone had complained about the amount of haul that folks were showing. I didn't realize that there was discussion about the amount of WIPs. I agree with your solution. Folks are usually pretty clear about when they're showing haul, so it's easy to stop or skip if I'm not in the mood. Personally, I watch flosstube to see what folks are working on; it's inspiration for me. I mostly view haul the same way; there are things out there that I haven't seen. My wishlist grows with almost every video I watch. (And without seeing your purchases, I would have no idea that Vermillion Stitchery charts are still available!) I chuckled at your Teresa Wentzler story. I'm a Teresa Wentzler fan.. I love the look of the finished pieces with the blends and the gorgeous borders. I almost expected you to say that you don't like how she does people, and that I totally understand. I don't think she does faces all that well.
Definitely swap out the fabric! You will enjoy the project so much more! I think the haul portion of videos has been an issue for a small minority for awhile. I love haul because I enjoy seeing all the things and see people get excited about their hobby. To each their own, I guess. I can appreciate TW designs but they just don't call me. I agree with the faces, not my favorite! Thanks for watching!
Amanda, I was so excited to see that you started making videos again. You are the one who inspired me to restart my Thomas Kincaid Beauty and the Beast chart. I loved the pattern but hated the fabric. I tossed it even though it had about 5000 stitches. Still working on it but I’m enjoying it more. You had a tutorial before showing how to finish an ornament, will you please put it back on? I love how you complete your ornaments.
Thanks so much Sylvia! I'm so glad you are enjoying your beauty and the beast project! No point working on something you don't enjoy! That was the only video I kept from before so I will switch it to public. Thanks for watching!
Congratulations on that huge beautiful finish Amanda!! Wow you really went all in! Do you think you'll tackle more Disney Dream designs in the future? That is stunning! Always so happy to see a video pop up from you! Glad to hear your mom is finally home.. Much love! ❣
Thanks so much Mary! Actually a local stitchy friend asked me which Disney kit I was going to do next. I definitely want to do another one once my Christmas village is done. I'm not a fan of having two massive and fairly intricate designs on the go at the same time. Probably the first beauty and the beast I will try to tackle next! Hope you summer is going well! Take care my friend!🤗
Great video. You always make me laugh. Sorry you haven't been feeling well, but glad to hear your Mom is out of the hospital after such a long stay. That Cinderella finish is fantastic. Got an even better view of it on the video than on Instagram and it's stunning! Thanks too for the mention!
I'm just catching up on Flosstubes, lol...Cinderella is SO awesome 😍! I would be staring at it all day!! And LOL at bajillion million 😆 It's funny...someone messaged me once and told me my channel should be called "DogTube' and I should stop talking about my dogs on Flosstube 😆 I like that there's a lot of Flosstubers...my stash has grown immensely because of what I see other people stitching! And don't worry...I cheat on my WIPs all the time 😉
Hi coleen! So good to hear from you! I watched your latest video a little while ago. So sorry you haven't been feeling well! Hope you are doing ok! I love hearing about Sam and jas so I'm all in for dogtube! 😂 I would love to have dogs but not able to. I get my puppy fix from others!🤗 Looking forward to seeing what you've been up to when you are feeling well enough! Take care!
Congratulations on your major finish! You must feel a huge sense of accomplishment. Sorry you and your family have been sick, hopefully you will all recover soon. Best wishes for your mother's continued improvement. Patternsonline have most of TW charts (no dragons) as pdfs in case you find your kit chart hard to read. Take care and thanks for sharing.
Very happy to see another video and it was so nice seeing again a couple weeks ago. I to am hoping and praying for Charlotte next year. Your suggestion of “just don’t watch them” if you’re frustrated with the content of a flosstube channel - I wholeheartedly agree. I actually have stopped watching quite a few channels because I either found them repetitive with no real new content or they were just not keeping my interest. There are so many out there that just because everyone else watches them doesn’t mean you have to. Go out there and explore - you will find the right channel for you. Hope to see at the Peel day in July.
Hi melissa! It was so good to see you! Yeah, I just thought it was an obvious solution when watching that video. I honestly don't have a lot of time to watch flosstube so I try to watch people I really enjoy. Take care and and fingers crossed for the Charlotte retreat!🤞
Hey Amanda, congrats on your BIG finish! Had to chuckle at the head to project comparison. So, you cheated on Cinderella with a new WIP. tsk tsk 🤭 😆 Alma's Little Wonders just started it. She's using an evenweave because of the fractional stitches and French knots. Thanks for the tip about Donna Vermillion Giampa's sister's ebay shop. I have several of Giampa's patterns and some she co-designed with Linda Gillum so will definitely check out the shop. [edit: did not find as Vermillion Stitchery but "laurel56" Is that who you ordered from?] How wonderful your mom is finally home! Hope she continues to recover and enjoys life. Also hope you and your family are over the illnesses and stay well. Take care and see you next time!
Your Cinderella finish is GORGEOUS!! 😍😍 Hey, quick question - were there any French knots in it? 😂😂 So glad your mom is home and I really hope she’s doing well! 💕💕 Love peace and harmony… I have never seen that kit before, it’s amazing! Hope to see you stitch it!
Thank you my friend! I'm so glad it's finished....especially all the sections with FRENCH KNOTS! 😂😂 I really love that kit. Maybe I will start it for the kitandkaboodle sal.🤔
My 7 year old son would love a poop key chain. A couple years ago in the summer program they made teams and he was on team poop. He came up with the team name!
Thank you for the mention! ❤️ Your Cinderella finish is AMAZING. I’m definitely a polyamory stitcher. 😂 There’s only 1 version of Anne and 1 version of P&P. You’ve chosen the correct ones. 🤣🤣🤣 Glad your mom is home!
I get a bit frustrated with the haul portions of some videos occasionally because it felt like some stitchers buy way more than they work on. Looking back, for some, it may have been a coping mechanism for 2020. And yes, some stitchers are so prolific in their output that frequent haul can be justified. I did stop watching someone because of the haul vs output ratio. (Ok, and their taste in stitching was moving away from what I like too.) The occasional big haul due to going somewhere special, or a massive sale doesn't bother me. But 3+ new charts and multiple pieces of fabric every video (if videos are frequent), combined with new floss and all the accessories can get...stale? So I fast forward/skip haul portions sometimes. Some of this might be I'm a bit of a minimalist/cheapskate and all the accessories gives me anxiety about where to store stuff and wonder about someone else's money situation (which shouldn't be my business). So haul portions aren't bad, but I wonder if there's some "keeping up with the jonses/fomo" going on occasionally. 30+ Celsius qualifies as hot in Canada. Texas is currently in a state of baking...37-40C (100+) for a high every day for the next week. 😖 People complaining about 20C is where I giggle and roll my eyes.
Thanks for sharing your perspective on haul. I think most flosstubers are aware and sensitive to this and that is why they normally leave haul to the end of their videos. That way they can show haul to people who want to see it without making the people who don't fast forward through content. Maybe a happy compromise? 20 degrees celcius is perfect. I don't even mind 30 if it is dry heat. It is the humidity that gets to me. Thanks for watching!

Love your finish. I'm with you on hoping to get a spot at the Mirabilia retreat.
Thanks! I know!! Fingers crossed!🤞
Beautiful finish! I can not do French nots so…. Yea. They are hard for me. Love your wips too😄🌸
Thank you! Honestly, I had a hard time with French knots too and then something clicked in my brain and I could do them! Keep trying, you will get it eventually!🤗

We could use polyamorous for lots of projects ! Lol! Your Cinderella piece is amazing!
Thanks! Polyamorous...that's it!😂

...or maybe polygamy! 😂 ok, I'll stop now. Love your videos.
😂😂 thanks!
