- Hello, hello my Stitchy Friends!!
It's been a heck of a month!
In this episode we catch up on the move to Utah, my first (huge) visit to Shepherd's Bush, and all the plans for Mira May and our Pollinator SAL! Oh- and I stitched a little bit too. ;)
Thanks for coming back to hang out with me. Grab a libation, your stitching, and let's dive into this stitching happiness!

Queen Anne’s Lace is gorgeous!
Moving is always exciting and a promotion makes it wonderful. Congratulations I love all your plans. Happy stitching have a blessed day.
You are such a sweetie. Glad you are moved and getting settled. It's a lot of work.
Congratulations for your husband’s new position! Enjoyed your stitching updates and looking into the Pollinators and Highlander patterns. Thanks for sharing! ~Michele
Congratulations on the move. So jealous…Shepard Bush!!!! 🌻🌻🌻
Congrats on the husbands new position and the new proximity to Shepherds Bush. I have been there once and it was like magic.
I love your Mira May plans! A lot of your starts are some of my most-loved charts. ❤
Love your progress on your wips. Love your choice of Mira's. Happy stitching!
Congratulations to your husband on his new job. Also congrats on your new move. Thanks for sharing your stitching.
Congrats on hubby’s new position and y’all’s new house. Sit back and relax now that the move is over, quilt, stitch and hike.
Your enthusiastic talk of the move and living near the airport with it being "like Top Gun every day" reminded me of the days in my apartment living on Merritt Island, Florida. My apartment building would shake wirh the rocket lift-offs. Not being a morning person I had a lot of fun morning awakenings!! 🚀🌴
I love Pollinators🐻 so Much! I have to get that chart soon.
So glad to hear that your whirlwind move went well! The fact that you accomplished all of that stitching is amazing!
Welcome to Utah! I'm very near you. I have lived near the base my who life ....The Sound of Freedom! I call Shepherds Bush the $125 store! Enjoy
Haha! You are not kidding- I may adopt your name for it. $$
Congrats on this fun next chapter of your life!
Congrats on your move! How exciting . Love your excitement for Queen Anne's Lace. If you want ( if you haven't already) to see a beautiful finish of her, check out Brian of blitstitch. He finished it March 11, 2023. So stunning.
What a great move for both of you! Glad to hear it went so well…and then, best reward ever, shopping with your sis at SB! Guess you want to stitch all the things since you couldn’t for so long. Maybe you just need a session to pull out all your WIPs and fondle them and welcome them to Utah…let them know they’re still loved and will be back in your hands shortly 😉
Some beautiful stitching. Love your fabric choices. I so want that "leave nothing hehind" chart. I just added so many new charts to my wishlist. lol, thanks!
Oh, how blessed you are to be in Utah! It is the crafter’s Mecca, and it is so beautiful! Primrose Cottage and Shepherd’s Bush are there, I believe. Scrapbook and cardmaking places. Cricut is there. The mountains, some of the most gorgeous flowers, the Temple. Oh my, I am envious!
I'm so jealous that you're near Shepherd's Bush!!! I live in NW Montana and there is no LNS available....all online orders, for me!!! I'm so happy for your husband's new position and hope the future is bright and prosperous! Happy Mira May and all your fabulous stitching!
Wow! I'm impressed! Big move, things are organized and you're back to. Stitching. You are amazing! Good job to your husband, hard work pays off! Here's to wonderful times in your new home!
Welcome to Utah! Be sure to drive up a canyon while there is lots of snow!
Congratulations on the big move! I’m super excited for the Pollinator SAL and all ready to go! I need to start in the middle but then once I get my fabric placement sorted out I’ll be doing your assignments!
It’s so great that you still have a smile on your face - those moves are hard! We have actually had to travel to Utah quite a bit lately and one of the coolest places we found was the free museum at the Air Force base - they have the kindness volunteer docents. And actually, we were there and I noticed the adddress said Ogden so I was lucky to have a surprise trip to Shepard’s Bush and it truly is amazing! Your Garden Sampler is so great - those colors ❤. I loved seeing all of your Mira’s and am excited to see your progress!
How fun, a new adventure. I was vacationing in UT a week ago. How fun would it have been to run onto you at Shepherds Bush. My husband spoiled me there. Another place we went was Pine Needles in Gardner Village. Quilt and cross stitch store. The whole village is wonderful. It is probably an hour south west of you. Worth the drive. The fabric for footprints is perfect. What a lovely stitch.
Congratulations on the move and getting settled so fast, it's really impressive! I wish you'll get comfortable there very fast, you know to feel at home there, and I guess the stitching shop near by will help with that 😜 Thanks a lot for the great video 🧵🪡
New subscriber here 😊 I haven´t watched your latest video yet, because I decided to make my way through your older ones. I love that you mostly stitch things that are very different to what I stitch and we still could talk about our hobby for hours 😊 Like your videos (watched three so far) very much! Greetings from Germany!
Congrats on the move! So many beautiful places to get outside in Utah; I hope you enjoy them this summer.
I’m amazed how quickly you packed up, moved and unpacked! So cool that you are so close to Shepherd’s Bush, I’m jealous. Looking forward to joining in on the Pollinator SAL with you. Great idea giving us some information on each! Always fun to watch your flosstubes.
So glad to see you back! I'm jealous you are close to Shepard bush!
My husband and I packed up a few things after living in Kansas for 25 years and moved to Utah 7 years ago. He worked out a job transfer, off we went and never looked back! Didn’t know anybody, but it’s been the best thing we ever did! We ski all winter and hike the rest of the year! Almost every day I say to him, “Guess what? We live in Utah!” I still need to get to Shepherds Bush, I’m in the Provo/Orem area, so it’s a wee bit further for me! Which is probably a good thing!!! 😂
OMG!!! You have been busy! I am so excited for you both. Congratulations to your husband on his well-deserved new job! And the excitement of living in a new place too! I know it's hard leaving Seattle, but there is so much to do in Utah, around Layton - hiking, Great Lakes, 4 different seasons of weather/temperatures to enjoy, and you are near your sister AND Shepherds Bush!!!! I am so jealous. Give yourself a lot of time to settle in. Go explore a little each day or on weekends with your husband. Based on some of my move experiences, Layton will feel like home soon. And you have all of us to support you!
Welcome to Utah! I hope you love it here! ☀️ I’ll be on the lookout for you… at Shepherd’s Bush - my FAVORITE store! ♥️
Oh my dear girl, you've done more stitching than I have for weeks - my back decided to go out without permission and left my entire right side somewhat discombobulated. Not only have you stitched, beautifully as ever, but to do so in the midst of such a rapid move is well.... you deserve an award. Hugs to both you and Gracie 😊
Congrats on the move! I’m so jealous you live near Shepherd’s Bush. I can’t wait to follow your progress on Queen Anne’s Lace - she’s one of my faves!
I see that it's been mentioned below that there is stitching every Saturday at Stitchery X-press. I'd recommend that for getting out and meeting some of the locals. It's a great, friendly group of stitchers. Some of them have known each other for years and the chatter is always delightful. Stitchery X-press is located west of the freeway out a long Antelope Drive. (540 W 1700 S, Clearfield.) Welcome to Utah!
I will definitely check it out- I heard that they have a sitting Saturday group too- so I hope to join in with that in the next couple of weeks- could be fun!
@@LaladeeStitches We'll look forward to seeing you sometime. Since it's going to be the 3rd Saturday of the month, I'll be able to make it tomorrow. Yay!
Wowza!! You are a "super mover!" You went from zero to 60 in less than 30 days!! You should be sooooo proud of yourself. And you still got quite a bit done with you stitching, let alone TWO visits to Shepards Bush! I'll be joining in the SAL and am all ready! Fingers crossed for a center start as I'm going with a fat 1/8 of 40 ct.
Happy to see you back with your big smile. Love your chattering and going on adventures with you. Always enjoy seeing what you stitch. Congrats to hubby. 🐝🪡🧵
So happy for you and your husband! Congrats to him and all his hard work and on his promotion! And sheesh girl! You unpack so quickly and got so much stitching done! Fantastic! Maybe I’ll bring out my September Fairy for Mira May too! I too am joining in on the Frosted Pumpkin Arctic SAL! Let’s see if I keep up! Lol! Happy stitching!
Haha- same. I am not making any promises about the Arctic SAL...
So glad to see you again and that your move went well! I have had Queen Anne’s Lace in my stash for ages. I have her all kitted up, but haven’t started her yet. I may have to start her with you!❤️
Welcome to Utah! Shepherds Bush is the best! I think you might also like Stitchery Xpress in Clearfield (just down the road from you). It’s a completely different experience, more “warehouse” vibes but I think you would love their fabric room. And, since you are a quilter, you may want to check out Sew n Save in Layton. Welcome to the neighborhood and thanks for sharing all your beautiful work!
Congratulations on your husband’s new position. Glad that your move happened without to many hiccups. Stitching looks great. Your purchases are beautiful.
So happy for you and your husband! I visited friends in Sandy Utah and have been dreaming of living in Utah ever since. I loved the weather and hiking and the people. I live near New Orleans so big difference 😂
Having lived in Gulfport, MS I completely understand. It’s a different world in so many ways! 😃
You are soo delightful and I’ve been excitedly waiting to hear of your new beginnings! We love Utah! How exciting to be there and soo close to Shepherd’s Bush!! We drive from NC to Portland each year in October to see our adult offspring and I’m going to see if our path this year could include this adventure…maybe even a joyful short visit at Shepherd’s Bush?! A double, delightful happening!! Who knows…one can dream…. I love your May plans and can’t wait to see your progress! I am very excited for your new chapter in your life…it sounds very life giving, growth-filled and happy! 💕
Wow! Amazing month for you & your family! Congrats to hubby & you for handling it all with some humor, organization. And, prayers for continued happiness with your new home!
So happy for you two. Your excitement with all your stitching and your new home is evident.
Congrats on getting settled into your new home so you can stitch so many beautiful pieces. Will love seeing your progress on Mira-May!
I am up for both sals. Frosted pumpkin for me will be on a purple sparkle fabric but may have to change some of the colors
Modest but solid ❤ 😂
Welcome here!! I live in Syracuse, to the west. When we moved up here 5 years ago we lived in a condo by the South Gate of Hill AFB and daily it would sound like the planes were going to hit the house! There are weekly stitch gatherings on Saturdays at Stitchery Xpress just on Antelope Dr. and there are good turnouts. You are definitely welcome. It’s always exciting to have more stitchers in the area and there are a lot of us! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about anything!! ❤❤❤❤
I've been in Ogden for several years. I had no idea there were stitch gatherings at Stitchery Xpress. That is great to know.
@@FluffyTurtles Yes! Most Saturdays. I usually make it out about once a month, but the ladies there are always fun!
Thank you so much, that is very kind! I am hoping to got to a group stitch in June, maybe I will meet you (and some other new friends) then!
Ya know, when you said you would possibly be moved and unpacked and settled in a mew city by the end of April, I thought “yeah right”! I can’t believe it happened so quickly! Congratulations to you and hubby!! If you haven’t seen Brian’s Queen Anne Lace, check out Blitstitch…it’s exquisite!!!
I will! That will be great inspiration as I start, thanks!
Enjoy your new location! A stitching store so close…. how convenient. You look beautiful, happy and relaxed.
What a whirwind you've had! Your Mira plans are wonderful.. you have some of my favorite pieces in your lineup. I'm doing Mira May as well; I'm actually hoping to finish two of my current WIPs. If I finish at least one, I'll be starting Petal Fairy and Bliss Fairy.. I'm stitching them together on a single piece of fabric so that their flowers look like a heart. I have a wonderful piece of lugana from Oak Crown Studios (FiberArtsAmy) just waiting for the first stitches! 🪡👠
Congratulations on the move. Last fall we happen to be passing through Ogden and spent a couple nights there. I was so excited to go to Shepards Bush. I knew I would be overwhelmed with the selection as I very rarely get to go to an actual store filled with all the wonderful stitching goodies.
We arrived in Ogden on a Friday at 3 and I decided to go to Shepherds Bush to look around and just get a start on exploring. When I arrived at the store at 3:30 there was a note in the door announcing that they would be closing early that day and were closed all the next day 😢. I managed to sweep through the store and grab one pattern before they closed. I was so disappointed but I do love the pattern I managed to get.
You should contact Jeannine McGowan to ask about the pollinators she included in her chart. She might have info. Love the idea.
So happy to see you again! I always look forward to your videos, even my husband likes to watch.
So many ancient indigenous sites in your area. Congratulations on moving to one of the most amazing areas of the US, the southwest. You’ll love it!
I'm so glad you are back. Wow what a whirlwind for you but I am glad your move is behind you. Enjoy settling into your new home. Congrats to your husband on his new position
I am glad that you got moved and got settled in your New Home.
Love all of your WIPS - you did a lot of Stitching.
Take Care & Happy Stitching
❤️🤗🧵🦯🧵❤️
Congratulations to you and your husband! Glad you had a successful move. Loved hearing all about your adventures. Beautiful stitching as always. Can't wait for the Pollinator SAL. I also adore your sweatshirt.
Congratulations to your husband and glad your move was successful. So good to see you.
Welcome to Utah, it is an awesome place to live. Thanks for sharing and for your sweet personality!
Congratulations on the successful move!
I'm always super excited to watch your Flosstube videos, you are super lovely and your projects are amazing 😍
Have a great weekend 🌻
Super happy for you. That is a lovely area, closer to your sister too! I hope Gracie is happy and adjusting well- I’m sure she’s fine as long as she’s with you.
So good to see you again. Best wishes in your new home. I’ve decided to join you in starting my very first Mirabilia for May. A little nervous but I’m going to jump right in with, Renaissance Mermaid. Am I nuts? I’ve had it semi kitted since 2019. Im doing it! Thank you???? 🤣 Enjoy, Utah and of course you’re new to you LNS!
It will be amazing! LOL I figure you won't know the difference between a complicated or simple Mira- so just dive in and enjoy! ;)
So excited to see a start for Hightide… I nearly ran out and bought it straight away when you showed it in your haul last time but thought nooo try not to be so impulsive and at least wait until you see Laura’s start. I’m not sure I can wait tho 😂😂🤣
I can hardly wait to start it- I am planning of the first week of June on that one. :) It's sooo good!
So happy to see you again! Congratulations to you and your hubby! That is so exciting!
So excited for the Pollinators Sal!!! 🐝 🌸
Nora Corbett’s mother, Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum is the designer behind Lavender and Lace. So you should consider the Lavender and Lace part of Mira-Maynia!,,
It's kinda funny that I just came across your videos today. I watched the one where you were probably going to move. You said you were in Seattle. I love south of Olympia. Then I watched your video that said you moved to Utah and I thought wow. I lived in Utah. Then you said Layton....and my mouth made an O and made a swiching sound. I lived in Layton! Can you believe it!
Haha! What a small world...
Congratulations on your new move!! Love seeing your beautiful progress ❤️ Happy Stitching 😊!!
I'm a newcomer to flosstube in general and to your site in particular! Your shout-out to Utah and Shepherd's Bush caught my eye since I've been shopping there since they opened. I'd love for my first SAL to be your Pollinators SAL. Could you please tell me how I can sign up for this so I don't miss out? I live half way between you and The Bush so I know well the sounds of our jets flying over. You will also want to become acquainted with Stitchery X-press which is another wonderful stitching shop in your area. It is open for shopping Tuesday through Saturday with stitching on Saturdays. You will also want to become acquainted with Jill and Amber, who have done all of the framing you've addmired so much at Shepherd's Bush. Their studio is just a couple of blocks south of Shepherd's Bush and is called Rensel Studio I believe. I'm looking forward to following you on flosstube!
Congrats to your husband and welcome to your new home!! Sounds like you had a whirlwind of a month for sure! Great video as always. So excited to start the Pollinators SAL with you I am all kitted up and ready to go 🌼🐝
Congratulations on your move! Great video, love all your haul.
I bought a complete kit of thread from 123 stitch for a project and completely forgot what project it was until I saw you pull out Hightide then it clicked. 😂 thank you for the brain refresher.
Good Morning
I take this video (just started) as the move have gone well? Grats on that. Moving on is always such a chore.
*Trots off to do lazy breakfast and stitching while listening to video*
Eta: Make it May Ladies instead of MiraMay and I can join with my Dark Queen that I really need to work on *she says, stitching on other stuff*
Congratulations on all the wonderful things happening in your life right now…it’s a lot of work but it will be worth it! And how lucky are you to be right there with Shepherds Bush within a reasonable distance?! Looking forward to the Pollinators SAL!
Congratulations on surviving the move, and landing by a great cross stitch shop!!
If you start High Tide let me know, I’m looking for a darn good reason to start it too!
I am going to start it the first week of June! :)
Of course L & L would count for Mira May since it’s Nora Corbett’s mom.
I’m a bit of a geek with travel facts so… Seattle to Layton UT is approx 1298km, so I worked out that if you started at the bottom of New Zealand in a little town called Bluff and drove North to Picton at the top end of the South Island, that is about 918km. It’s then about 95km on the ferry. If you then drove from the ferry terminal to a town called Ohakune (google it, they have a giant carrot) that’s another 284km bringing your travel to 1297km. So you would get three quarters of the length of NZ pretty much for the same distance as you drove. Told you I was geeky LOL. Also you’re amazingly chipper for someone who just did all that! - take care, Nic x. PS reckon you can get the Lace Lady in if you refer to it as Maiden’s May LOL
Haha! I love it & I'm tired just looking at the numbers!
Welcome to Utah! Pine Needle Designs is at Gardner Village in SLC. 7800 S. A fun place to shop and visit the village. It's a historic restored mill site. Not too far from Layton. Maybe you'll run into Deb and Keph (Snug Harbor Crafts) at Shepherd's Bush or out and about. They live in Farmington area.
I will check that out- thanks!!
Laura’s Fabrics is from Riverview Stitching in Michigan!
Oooo good to know! Thanks for the clarification.
So happy for you! Change is hard but also exciting! And you have gone from one lys to another?!!? How lucky are you!!! You have a stitch home right away….Utah is beautiful, ( but so is the Pacific Northwest). I trust you will fit in well and see far fewer cloudy/foggy/rainy days. 😊. Thank you for thinking of making a Flosstube in your new space and congrats to you and your husband! 🎉
Congrats on the move! Love that you found a stitchy store quickly❤ I am looking forward to starting some Mira’s with you in may! This is my first try, I can’t wait!!
Oh my gosh, Laura! About that same time my stitchy bestie and I drove from Seattle to Ogden for Stitch West Spring!! Too much Shepherds Bush (said no stitcher EVER) and meeting/making new friends! It was 20 degrees warmer than usual. The hotel we were in refused to turn the a/c because it snowed earlier in the week!! Other than that we had so much fun!!
Oh my! What a funny overlap! Sorry about the AC issue- that's dumb.
While Frosted Pumpkin SALs reel you in, for me I have a hard time saying no to Tiny Modernist or Caterpillar Cross Stitch. Currently, Caterpillar lured me in with Enchanted Realms, which started with 3 dragons in the center.
My friend and I have been stitching Fairy Moon together for about a year now (we set monthly targets) - may have the stitching done in June! Then on to the beads. :) edit: there's also errata on the Mirabilia/Wichelt sites for floss and bead needs.
Good to see you back!
Welcome i am off antelope in Clearfield.
I'm so happy for you and your husband! What a wonderful place to live and to have a close LNS is great for you. I enjoyed seeing your progress and hearing about Mira May. I've started In Praise of Pollinators on Earth Day but I'd like to join your SAL, hope that's ok. I think I'm going to have a Market May. My purchases from the Nashville Market will be started and added to my rotation of WIPs. It's always so much fun to get started on the designs we're excited about. Thanks for taking the time for your channel!
Congrats on moving & managing such a whirlwind in the past few weeks. I *love* the First Frost long design conversion! If I call Shepherd's Bush would they know what I'm talking about?
Thank you! And yes, I think they would know just what you mean, they have been super helpful when I have gone in, and know their shop well. :)
I have my kit for the pollinator SAL. Excited to start.
🎉Yay!!! So glad you are in Utah! I live in the SL Valley. I hope to see you in the stitchy wild. 😂
I'm commenting fairly early in the video, but I had to say I love that sweatshirt and congratulations on the new job and the move 🎉
How has beautiful Grace taken to the move? Does this take you nearer or further from your sister and parents? A close by needlework shop is the dream! Off to enjoy the rest of your video. Take care ❤
Thank you! She has done pretty well, the first couple weeks she lived in high alert mode, but seems happy. Getting all of our things out of boxes helped a lot! Closer to my sister, she's just over an hour away! So nice. Thanks for watching!
❤❤❤
I just came back from Utah. My best friend lives in Orem. So I went to visit her. We did some side trips while I was there for nine days and one of them was to Shepherd’s bush. My husband gave me $100 to spend to buy him the pattern, the kit and the material so and the embellishment pack For a stocking for him.
Congratulations on your husband promotion I know you’re going to like Utah. There is a bunch of Stiching groups that get together once a month I can give you a couple of names and you could contact them if you wanted to join their little Stiching group. Totally up to you let me know , I will be joining you on your Mira May SALbut not your other SAL unfortunately. I did a sal with the Utah stitchers starting in October but I couldn’t like put it down and not do the rest of it so I started it. I finished it and I don’t have to have it done till next October. But that’s the way I Stitch. One thing at a time.
I would love to hear names of groups- I could use some local friends! Email me if you get a second? It is my description box.
What kind of store is it? Congradulations to you and your husband. I had to rio out on Wednesday. I feel your pain. 😊
So glad you're back, and settling in❤️ How did your sweet puppy do with all the move?
She did alright- she stayed with my sister for the drama of it, and then was brought into the home once the boxes were in. It seems to have worked well. She is settling in.
What a wonderful haul and I love the stitch along! Please forgive me if this is a stupid question but you mentioned an item being shown at market, could you explain what market you are referring to. Many thanks
Hi there! No stupid questions! I didn't know about it until a couple of years ago. In the Spring and Autumn there is a convention for cross stitch designers to sell new designs- it is only open to shops- but they will advertise ahead of time what the designers are selling and your can preorder. It's dangerous because it is always packed with beautiful things! :)
@@LaladeeStitches ah, thank you so much, I shall have to look out of them!
My daughter lives in Kayesville would love to run into you somtime
I have the July Cricket Collection pattern. Where can I find the conversion for it? Love it! Thanks for your help
If you email me (I link it to all of my videos in the description box) I will send you a picture of the conversion from Shepherd's Bush! :)
