Hi Kim. Congratulations on all your stitching progress and life changes / events! Good luck at the next show. Thank you for the update.⚘️
@margaretbaker623 thanks Margaret!!
You accomplished a lot in June, good job. I wish you well on your new job!
Thanks Debby! Happy stitching!
Thank you for sharing. I love your cross stitch and am so happy you are going to get better pay for all of your work.
Thank you! Happy stitching!
Every project you are working on is beautiful! Hope your new job is exactly what you are hoping for🙂
Thanks so much Fran!
Love to see the latest progress on your projects and all of your news! Working on commission is tough; I’m glad to see you return to an hourly pay schedule. You have such great logic in how to find the best way to power through stitching a large project. Happy new job and happy stitching!
Thanks Carol! The commission pay was so inconsistent!
Love your progress on your wips. Congratulations on your new job! Happy stitching!
Thanks Karin! Happy stitching!
More money and fewer hours. What's not to like?
You go, girl!
Oh yes, the stitching is lovely. I was so happy to see Kindred Spirits. Horses are even better than dragons in my opinion. I'm glad you are able to be stitching more this year. Hopefully starting a new job won't be too stressful.
Thanks Judith! I'm not worried about the new job, just a bit anxious that I'm 43 and trying to find my niche in this new part of life. Happy stitching!
@@msufly As a woman who returned to working after a "20 year maternity leave" I offer encouragement that as long as you focus on what's important (taking care of your children and yourself) it will all work out.
Congratulations on the new job. I love the colours on the LongDog, you are making phenomenal progress on all your WIPs
Thanks Donna!
Thank you for sharing your WIPs. They are really looking good.
Thanks Linda! 😊
I love how you inverted the Long Dog piece. It looks amazing!
Thank you! I really like how it's turning out, and who has time for all that negative space stitching? :-D
I love the ice cream / dragons by Randall Spangler. I would be earing a lot of ice cream!! Your Santas look great. Kooler Designs are so well done. I have 3 or 4 of the books and love to find design elements and stitch smells for pillows. It is a nice break from big pieces.
Hey Lynn. Yeah, the motifs in the Kooler books would make great pieces for small decor items and cards. Wish I had more time to do that and make progress on my big WIPs!
Congratulations on all your finished goals. I hope the new job works out better for you.
Thanks Sarah!! Happy stitching!
You’re rocking out those goals! Don’t blame ya for leaving the commission based job, hope the new place is a good fit.
Thanks Mandy! Everything has gone well in the first 3 days of the new job! :-D
Good luck with your new job. To me changing jobs is not fun but sometimes you just have to. No matter what you always get plenty of stitching done!
Thanks Lisa! I'm not worried about the new job but just wish I felt settled after life changed 3 yrs ago but still trying to find my niche.
Hi Kim I'm back been away for a while. I've been behind on floss tube and slowly trying to catch up. I watched all your video's and loved every one of them. I am sorry about the loss of your dog. I love the progress you are making on your projects and loved your finishes. You are a very lovely and talented lady and I missed you a lot. May was a very busy month for my hubby we went to Indiana to see my grand daughter graduate from High School. There were 1,360.00 in her class and it was about a 3 1/2 hours. Whew!!! She will be going to Ball State University in September and is majoring in Art and her brother will be starting High School and does Ice Hockey and Football. I started this year with 37 new starts and added 4 more new starts in May and I am doing Christmas in July with Dena Half cross stitch and I kitted up about 12/15 new starts this month. So I will have a total of about 50/55 new starts this year and loving it. I just celebrated my 52nd Anniversary with my hubby on July 2nd (feel like a dinosaur) and 27 July I will be 72. Kim where does the time go. I look forward to seeing more of your video's and love them. You do outstanding work and I always amazed of what you do. I'm glad Spencer is doing better. I miss your parrot I love watching him. Hope you bring him back. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless
Pat
Hey Pat! Good to hear from you again. Congrats to your grand daughter and props to you guys for sitting thru the graduation...I didn't go to my own. Sounds like you have some fun new starts going on! Hopper is doing well too...will see if he can make a guest appearance soon. Happy stitching!
Great to catch up with you Kim. Love your projects and all the best with the new job. Dust mites sounds like a reasonable suspicion for poor Spencer. I’m thinking about coming back to Full Coverage Fanatics as I need some motivation to progress some WIPs and have felt a bit directionless this year! Take care
Thanks Kelly! Great to know an opinion from another vet! The barn has recently switched types of shavings too so we'll see how it goes. We'd love to have you back in FCF...your Firefly piece is epic!
Hi Kim
Congratulations on your New Job.
Love all of your WIPS - Sundae Delight is looking fantastic - I love this one.
I am stitching on Pandemic by Long Dog Samplers. I am using DMC #321 for the entire project.
I am also stitching on Once Upon A Fairytale by Aimee Stewart. I am doing this on 25 Count 1 x 1 Full Cross. I am almost done with Page 3.
Take Care & Happy Stitching
❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵✂️❤️
Hey Linda! Thanks, and your pieces sound awesome too! Happy stitching!
Love all your progress! Congrats on the new job! 🎉
Thanks so much!
As always so interesting to hear your stats
Best wishes for the new job, definitely sounds like a better fit
Thank you! Happy stitching!
Good luck with your new job!
Thanks Lisa!
Great progress! Congrats on the new job. I hope it’s going well. How was the show? Hope you’re enjoying your summer!
Thanks Katrina! The show went well today and she improved her scores! The new job is going well too. 😊
How can you work on the ice cream project without constantly eating ice cream? I don't know why, but Templar Prophecy is bigger in real life than it was in my head. It's not like I've never seen yours before. Odd. I'm shocked he's not allergic to anything. At least he hasn't had another recent reaction. Congrats on the new job!!!!
I can't stitch and eat ice cream at the same time! LOL. Yeah, the Templar pages seem huge but I think it's because it's over 2 on the fabric. I feel the urge to start another Long Dog but I still have so much to go on Templar!
I don’t know how you’re doing the Templar Prophecy, that would really confuse me 😂it’s looking so good. I’m glad you’ve managed to hopefully get to the bottom of Spencer’s allergies! You’ve managed to do a lot and it all looks amazing!
Thanks Lauren! The trickiest part to flipping those sections on Templar is to figure out how to change the edges, to smooth the transition. And of course I have to count my own stitches in those sections because PK has symbols for the negative space.
@@msufly my name is Laura 🤣 don’t worry, it happens a lot, it’s all good 🥰. I really do love how you’re doing the Templar Prophecy and I can’t wait to see more progress, it fascinates me how you’re doing it 🥰
So sorry...must've been distracted early. I know you're Laura. Sorry again!!
@@msufly lol it’s all good 🥰
Þā lǣċas wundrodon þæt þū ġīet lifdest.
Great progress Kim. Congratulations on your new job🎉, hope you'll be happy there. It's a shame when you are happy at a job and have to leave. Sadly in your situation you need to go where the money is. The good thing is you'll have more time for family and stitching. Take care🤗🇬🇧
Thank you! Yup, tye commission pay was just too inconsistent since I'm a single mom. Fingers crossed for my new job!
Hi Kim how much fabric u have for the long dog sampler the prophecy?
Melanie- it's a 27x27" piece of 32 ct lugana.
@@msufly thank u
Wow…this is my first visit because it is the first time your channel came to my feed. I don’t understand how this happens when I watch flosstube daily and am a flosstuber myself. I will be back. Question…can I join full coverage fanatics if I only work on one full coverage at a time? My owl is 400 by 400 and will take about 13 months to complete. Fantastic stitching…very inspiring. 🦉🧵🌞
Welcome to my channel! There are SO many flosstubers out there, I think we overwhelm the system. You absolutely can join FCF if you only have 1 FC WIP. Our goal in the group is to encourage more progress so everyone is welcome. And you can multi-dip your stitches to count them for multiple events too! There are plenty of people in FCF that only have 1 FC WIP at a time.
