Happy to have found your channel... I was so fortunate to love my job. When my office closed instead of relocating to another city, I retired. I had so much time on my hands; kept busy by taking a quilting course with 19 other wonderful ladies. Now I find myself alone, exploring a different country for retirement without my sewing machine. I have always loved embroidery so I looked at different channels for ideas. I am one month in regarding my "vacation" and visited a Millinery Shop but was to chicken to buy the fabric and floss for a project. I am a lot like you, I find a certain order to projects and would be hard on myself if I did not finish. I looked into buying a sewing machine but decided against it. I believe I will go back to the Shop and start a new project since I have a month left before returning to Florida. Thank you for sharing. I felt as though we were in the same room 🪡 💕
I hope your travels have been wonderful, what an adventure! I hope to do quilting one day, if I can find more room in my house for fabric stash and more time after I retire, it’s such a beautiful hobby 🙂. Enjoy your time away, see everything you can, meet lots of new people ☺️💕
Bless, you Catherine. Congrats on the weight loss. Hope you're happily settled in a new job by now. Thank you for sharing. ⚘️❤️
Welcome back - nice to see you again and catch up on all your lovely WIPs
Aww, thank you!! ☺️🍁
Hey there! Glad you are back! Love the WIPS and the new fabrics. You may have given other stitcher’s a new way to work on full coverage…I like to mix it up with my stitching too. I say stick to your guns where work is concerned. I would go to HR and see if the situation can be fixed. I found in my career that there are very insecure employees and promises always made and not kept. There is always something you can do..with IT you have a huge variety of jobs to choose from…Happy stitching and I am glad you got to visit with your family and your friend. Congratulations on your weight loss! Way to go!
Hello from British Columbia. So glad to see a video from you. Love your sense of humor and ackwardness. You are so Canadian. Love all your stitching. Why does your Manager get away with how he talks to people. He is a bully. Hope you talk to the senior manager when you move on. I don't know maybe things are quite different in the States compared to Canada. Please don't wait so long to make another video.
Hi Diane! I’ll be sure to keep making videos, I won’t wait so long ☺️. Thank you so much for the support and kind words! Not sure I’ll say anything when I leave my job, just look to the future and keep moving forward. Have a wonderful weekend, hope you can get lots of stitching done! ☺️🍁
Kathryn, it is so good to see you again. Your stitching is gorgeous. I am still waiting to start my first Nora Corbett. What a great haul you have. The new fabric wonderful. I am so sorry about your work situation. I hope you find the perfect job. The one good thing is that you were able to go home and visit your family. Hopefully we will see you soon. Until then Happy Stitching.
I, too, was at Needlework Galleria….I already had the Tisket Tasket pattern but seeing it in person was amazing! I am so glad to see you back!! I’ve missed you! Happy stitching!
Too bad I didn’t get to meet you at Galleria!! Maybe next year! Happy Stitching ☺️💕
Thank you for the video.I have a new boss that is a lot like that. Helped a lot. Missed you.
I’m sorry to hear you have a boss like that too!!! I find that it’s hard to speak up, I just try to ignore it, but it’s kinda hard sometimes. I think I’m just too old to put up with that anymore. We can’t let people treat us like that. We deserve to be respected. I hope you are able to find a solution. My heart goes out to you 💕💕💕
So nice to catch up with you again ( I actually think I have one more video to fully catch up though😁)
Glad to hear your stiching bug is back, I've missed your videos and stitching updates.
That is a great start on treasure hunt bookshelf.😊
Your work sounds....hmmm not sure how to say it ...I guess we will go with stressful. I hope you are able to find a job where you feel more appreciated! 🥰
I know I had a lot more to say but my mind has gone blank so...🤦♀️🤷♀️
Take Care!
Welcome back! I missed you!
Thank you!!! Always love to get your comments! ☺️💕
It's good to see you again. Sometimes we just need a break and it looks like your break has helped get your stitching mojo back. I think your game for deciding stitching position on Beloved is interesting. For your work life--companies are begging for qualified, dedicated workers. I think your manager now is just trying to protect his job and you need to get out of that toxic environment. You can certainly find something better. Good luck.
I will definitely find a better job, thanks for the support and kind message! I agree about needing a break from stitching sometimes… and now after a break I can’t stitch enough! 😂. And I want to stitch everything!! Have a wonderful weekend, happy stitching! ☺️🍁
Your work situation sounds like what too many skilled and confident people (women) face from their (male) managers who are feeling insecure. Transfer to the other manager or find someplace that appreciates you. You are an amazing person, super good and innovative at your job, and you deserve to be valued for it. 💪Thank you for the new video, I missed your updates! 😊
Thank you so much for your support and kind words!! You are the sweetest for taking the time to write such a nice comment! ☺️💕 Happy stitching and have a wonderful weekend! ☺️🍁
So glad you are back, Catherine! Sounds like your manager is a little threatened by your talent. Sounds like you might need to go above his head. I did a stint as a clinical analyst for RN informatics so I totally get the recruiting pressure! You will find something wonderful! Hugs, Jeannie
Thank you, Jeannie!! Things are looking up ☺️🍁
Welcome back! I think I saw on Facebook that a new store opened in Farmington - Stitch etc. I think it was called. I’m in Omaha but I get to St. Louis every few years. Might need to plan my next trip!
I have to go to the Farmington store!!! When I do I’ll try to post a video if they let me take some footage!! How exciting, thanks so much for the info! ☺️💕. If you make it to St. Louis let me know, maybe we can meet up and do some stitching! 😀
I’m sorry you had to deal with such toxicity in the work place - I’m hoping I get a nice update on a video soon, take care - Nic x PS I’m glad you came back and posted even if it was after a long break!
So sweet! And yes I have a work update in a later video 😂
Hi. Glad to see you back. I had to replay your life update twice to make sure I understood / heard your manager's comments! Is there an employee relations department in your company? If so, please immediately go to them. They will assign a case worker open an incident report and investigate the situation. This guy is toxic and HR/ER needs to know about the situation; investigate it and take actions immediately to address this person's behavior. He is a serious liability to the company, your and your colleagues' livelihood and mental health. If you are not ready to do this or think other colleagues would support your efforts - then perhaps your best recourse is to indeed look for employment elsewhere.
Sometimes moving forward in a new direction is the best option…. Thanks so much for your support, means a lot ☺️💕
I agree with what everybody else is saying life is too short do not stay where you’re unhappy and I’m not sure how far away you are but in Farmington Missouri there is now a Crosstitch store opened in the downtown area and it is very very nice they used to and they still do sell boards for projects but now they open the store it’s called Stitch Etc
Thank you so much!! I can’t wait to check it out!! 😍🍁
Glad to see you again, great video as always, never apologise for rambling on about life, if I was only interested in stitching progress I could just look at Instagram 😉 Hope you find another job that suits, I only work as a homecare worker in my community, underpaid and I’m out in all weathers but I’m a lone worker, no boss or staff to contend with, it’s the reason why I’m still there after 20+ yrs, I only work 18 hrs too. So plenty of stitching time…enjoy the rest of the week and have a great weekend ❤
Home care workers are SO important, you are making a difference in the lives of others!! You are a blessing! Glad you have lots of stitching time too ☺️💕
Kathryn, hope your work situation improves or you are able to find somewhere that appreciates and welcomes your unique skill set. Your current manager is clearly intimidated by your skills. Thanks so much for sharing your projects and plans but also your personal life and struggles. Those that have told you that you talk too much can just not watch. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and how you put yourself out there. Please don't stop being you! Nice to hear that you are on a personal wellness journey. Great accompishment! Glad you got your stitchy bug back! See you next time!💜
So good to see you again! I was wondering the other day when I’d see another video from you. I’m glad to hear your stitchy bug is back and seeing the stuff you got from your retreat makes me so excited for mine in a couple weeks! Those fabrics are absolutely beautiful. All your stitching looks awesome too! Although seeing how gorgeous Sabrina is looking just makes me want more fancy lady patterns 😅
I’m sorry you’re having to deal with such a terrible boss and job, but that’s good you’ve already got leads elsewhere. Crossing my fingers something much better comes through for you. Can’t wait to see your next video - happy stitching and take care!
Oooh, which retreat are you going to?? I wish I could have stayed longer at Galleria and do more than some quick shopping, maybe next year - I think I’ll be doing a few retreats next year and I’m excited about that, I’ve never done an actual full weekend stitch retreat!
It’s nice to be back on FlossTube again, I’ve missed everyone! And I can’t just watch your latest video… I’m going all the way back to the last one I watched so I can catch up on all of them!! 😀😂
@@NeedleberryStitcher I’m going to the Stitch West retreat in Salt Lake City - I’m kinda nervous since this is my first one, but I’m going with some friends so it should be fun. Hopefully you’ll get the full experience at your next one.
I haven’t posted a video since the beginning of August so it shouldn’t take you long at all to get caught up! 😆
@@crossstitchandchill Hope you’ll post soon! In the meantime I’ve really enjoyed your mid year WIP parade video! 😍
So glad to see you back. You most certainly are allowed to have regrets in life - we all do. Hopefully, we learn something from them and move on. Your manager is a jerk - and that's a kind word to use. Having been a manager/supervisor in a prior life, that behaviour is inexcusable and is definitely an HR issue. But - you'd probably find that you're not the first to bring it up and obviously he's still getting away with it. I think your idea to look for a new position is probably best. You're talented and in the perfect field for our times - so all the best with it. Hope to see you back sooner than later. Take care. Steph x
Thanks for the great advice - I hope to have a new job lined up very soon. I love the work I do and I know there’s a job out there where I can flourish and be happy every day. I’ve had jobs like that in the past so I know they exist - unfortunately those companies in my past got bought out and changed under new leadership. I’m glad I took a risk again this time and I’ve learned a lot despite the situation that I can take forward with me into a new job. I hope you have a fantastic weekend stitching, and thanks again for the kind words! ☺️💕
Hi Katherine! So happy to see you again. I picked up a Tisket a Tasket at Stitch North and am deciding which Leo and Roxy to use. Bought some pale yellow fabric and am keen to start it. So beautiful!!
Sorry to hear about your work situation. To my eye the boss is abusive and I think passive agressive. If it were me I 'd report it. But it's easy to comment when it's not our situation. Hope it resolves soon. Keep reaching out to your connections, something better will appear. And keep listening to your intuition, it rarely steers one wrong. Cheering you on!!
Thank you for the support and kind words, Michele! I just started A Tisket A Tasket tonight and I’m thinking of you as I stitch it! Such a pretty pattern. Have a wonderful weekend and I hope you get lots of time to stitch! ☺️🍁
I was lucky enough to just spend 3 days at a stitching retreat held by the Ottawa Valley Guild of Stitchery. I'm on a roll ! Heaven!!
@@michelegagnier162 How wonderful, you’re so lucky!! So happy for you!! 😀💕
Great to see you back. Always enjoy seeing what you are stitching. Hope things at work have improved. ❤
So good to see that you and your stitchy bug are back! Thank you for sharing and hope the stress will return to a acceptable level! 🖖
Thank you so much! Hope you’ve had a great weekend with lots of stitching time! ☺️💕
Welcome back!!! I was so excited to see another video from you. Rumor has it that a new cross stitch store opened recently near-ish to St. Louis. My brother lives in Ladue and when I google mapped the store it was about an hour south of there. It's Stitch, etc. in Farmington, MO. Glad you had a good time at Galleria. Sabrina (and all your WIPs) look great. Sorry about the difficulties at your new job-some people are not cut out to be managers. Even if you don't expect them to do anything, you may want to meet with HR to document the issues. (I've worked in HR. Sometimes HR's hands are tied but it's good to get things on the record so they can start to build a file. It sounds like you aren't the only person he treats badly. A company may not be inclined to do anything until it costs them money to have to pay recruiters for the same position because of poor supervision.)-Debbie
Thanks for all the advice, sure means a lot!! 🥰. Also for the tip on the new cross stitch store in MO… I’ll be hitting the road as soon as I can to check it out!!! ☺️🍁
@@NeedleberryStitcher check their hours before you go, even though they have regular hours I’ve noticed that they’ve had a lot of days, times they haven’t been there even though it’s only been open a few weeks! They have a FB page.
@@annastaz1 Thanks - I’ll make sure to call ahead!! 👍🙂
Glad you’re back and that your stitching mojo returned! Have a wonderful couple of weeks.
Happy Stitching!! ☺️💕
Thank you for continuing to give us videos. A huge congratulations on your weight loss. I only wish I could stay motivated to lose that much weight. Please keep up your videos around. I miss when you are away I know selfish me. You showed some beautiful work even if it was only a little. See you around again hopefully very soon.
So good to see another video from you. Sorry that you are going through such a stressful work situation. It sounds like your new manager feels threatened by you and rightfully so since he's been training others incorrectly and he's a bully on top of that. Perhaps you can let the company know when you have your exit interview because he is a huge liability. It's hard to believe others haven't reported him already. I have faith you will find a better position that appreciates you since you have a lot of experience in your niche skill set.
Your stitch bug will come back when you are ready. Btw, be careful with your tension when you do the checkerboard squares on Beloved (I love that chart). I remember watching another stitcher (Creative Crafty Claire?- she doesn't post anymore) and she did several checkerboards for a full coverage challenge and she ended up with very obvious checkerboard lines in her piece when she filled in the area later.
Congratulations on your weight loss! Have you tried lifting the lost weight in a dumb bell or weight plate? It gives you another perspective on what you have achieved. Take care and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the tip on the checkerboard pattern showing up on my Beloved! I had thought of that at one point… but then I figured “What are the odds I’ll ever finish it??!” Haha!! I decided to make it a fun WIP to work on when I need to shake things up and not worry about the final result 😂🤣
The weight loss has been incredibly positive for me, I have little to no back pain anymore and I have so much more energy! Thanks for the kind words and support!! ☺️💕
So glad you are back dear friend. Your wips look amazing as always. You always stitch a lot❤️. I love the new patterns you got and the other haul. I would love for you to do a parade of the projects we haven’t seen yet. That would be fun to see ❤️. You are the sweetest thing and a very dear friend, thank you for those kind words ❤️. Very much appreciated ❤️. I know God has the right job out there for you. You will find it. I’m also glad you took time out for yourself and did things to make you feel better. It’s so important to do ❤️. I hope you have an amazing couple of weeks, stay safe and happy stitching and we will talk soon ❤️❤️
Thank you sweet friend!! So thankful for you!! Like I said in my video - you always leave the best comments on IG and YT!! You are a friend to all ☺️💕❤️
@@NeedleberryStitcher ❤️
Thank you for you wonderful stitchy update. Loved how you handled the haters, I love your words they keep me company as I stitch. Sorry to hear about the Job situation, you are not alone. I have been there also, my tip is to keep a thorough diary, keep copies of emails etc. It sound a bit like your supervisor doesn’t actually know what he is doing is afraid that you will show him up, and personally you should I hate how people get away with that. Do not shut up let your intelligence shine a l bright light on his ignorance. We are here for you.
You are SO sweet, thanks for the support and stitchy love!! I often think I complain too much in my videos, but it’s real life, might as well talk about it 😂. So many people go through similar situations and the advice is so appreciated!!
Hope you have a wonderful stitchy week! ☺️💕
Welcome back, lovely to see you again, glad to see you've joined all us crazy Aimee Stewart stitchers, I accept that I may never finish alot of my projects and I'm OK with that, I enjoy the process, I'm also addicted to kitting up projects, my kids think I'm crazy, one of my granddaughters calls me stitching Nanny, and finally my eldest granddaughter has taking up stitching, hoping to pass my craziness on 🤣🤣. Hope you find some peace with a bit less stress in your life.
How exciting that one of your granddaughters is starting to cross stitch!! I’d be jumping for joy to pass down the cross stitch torch to a young person in my family!! 😃 You be as crazy as you like, we stitchers all know what a blessing cross stitch is in our lives, how it gets us through hard times and happy times, how it comforts in the lonely times and celebrates in the joyous times when we gift our creations to precious people. Go absolutely crazy and be proud!!! ☺️🍁
This was my 1st time watching you and just love your stitching . Just beautiful. I am glad you found your stitching bug and look forward to seeing your progress . just love the snowman. He is so stinking cute will have to hunt him down . You have a great week and hope you get some stitching in and can't wait till your next
Thank you so much for watching!! Hope you find the snowman, I agree he’s super adorable! ☺️🍁
I was so happy to see you put up a video, that Beauty and the Beast is Fabulous! Of course I think
everything you stitch is so wonderful, your work is beautiful. Sounds like you had a good time
at Galleria and your fabrics were very pretty. Happy Stitching! Look forward to your next
video!
Nice to hear from you!! Hope you’re having a fabulous stitchy month!! ☺️🍁
Welcome back! I just had to say I was in the EXACT same position at a job and it was a nightmare. My manager wouldn't give me any work to do and his behavior was very unprofessional. I suffered through 7 months before I left and I literally cried happy tears as I walked out the door. I sincerely hope you find something else. We spend far too much of our lives at work to be so unhappy. Glad you're back! Happy stitching from Alberta Canada! 😊
Thank you SO much for sharing your story, it gives me hope!! I have some leads on jobs that I’m excited about so I know I’ll be able to move on, the sooner the better! He calls me “Buddy” and “Pal” like I’m a 10 year old boy 🙄😂.
Happy stitching in Alberta! My brother lives in Edmonton, it’s one of my favorite places to visit, we’re planning a trip to Banff next summer. ☺️🍁
So glad you're back. Sorry to hear about your job situation I hope you resolve it quickly. It was so good to hear all your news, I'm glad you managed to get some free time to spend with family and friends. Loved seeing your projects too. Thanks for sharing, take care and happy stitching. 😊
Thanks so much for watching! I am so glad that I get to meet nice people like you here on FlossTube, you are always so nice! Happy stitching!!! ☺️🍁
Progress is still progress! Glad your stitchy bug is back and happy to see you again. It sounds like we have super similar jobs. I completely understand your frustrations related to a backlog of projects and not having enough bandwidth to do it all. My company is in the midst of switching systems and it's been an absolute nightmare of delay after delay. I also totally get that hard decision of leaving an ok job for an unknown new situation. Awesome that you took the chance and so sorry to hear your manager is horrific. If it really is a niche system I'm sure you'll find the right new fit in no time!
Sounds like we have similar job experiences, always so much to do and not enough people (or not enough willing people). Switching systems is super stressful, I feel for ya, but it will work out okay in the end. I’m sure you’ll be glad when it’s just done and you’re on the other side of it! Hang in there. If you work with great people that’s going to get you through. Team work is everything. Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy lots of stitching time if you can! ☺️🍁
Welcome back, Kathryn, good to see you again! I always enjoy seeing your beautiful wips. I had to laugh at the sideways HAED, as that is something I do like every time haha! Happy Stitching!
😂😂 I’m usually so paranoid about that and making sure it’s right side up - if I actually had progress on it then it would have been easier to tell! 🤣 Right now it’s just blobs of color ☺️🍁
Your stitching is lovely. I go in and out of stitching bugs myself. I feel for you on that job situation. But our daughter just went through that and landed in a good spot finally. We’ve all been there I’m sure. I know I have.
Congrats on the 40 lbs! That took a lot of work! I know you feel better!
So glad your daughter is on the other side of that kind of job situation! I can’t believe how many people can relate, that’s so sad!
Thanks for the support, and the congrats on my weight loss - I do feel a lot better, absolutely!! ☺️🍁
Hi Katherine! So glad to see you! It’s always a great day when you post a video! Before I forget, Carolyn Zook is n a group that is doing a SAL on your Aimee Stewart. You might enjoy the company of others on s big project like that. I personally love your random stitching style. Whatever works! I had to laugh at your reaction to Rosewood Manor. Karen is one of my favorite, favorite designers! I have done Autumn Quaker and I’m working on Winter. I have many, many of her patterns! I absolutely love her. I wish I had come to Galleria- I think I’m about 5 hrs from there. Next year if you are going perhaps we can arrange to meet up! I would Fan Girl all over you! Tell your stitchy bug that you have lots of new haul now so no more vacation! And yes, I would love to see your other misc WIPs. So take care and stitch on! Until next time! ❤ PS- so sorry about the new job! I’ve been in that whole sit and be bored so many times. It sucks! And your new manager sounds like a jerk. I bet he’s worried about you taking HIS job. I agree that No one can talk to you like that. I can’t advise going to HR because that has never worked for me. It sounds like with your skill set that it won’t be long until you find a better position. (Hugs!). That’s a terrible spot to be in. Just remember it isn’t you. Hang in there, friend! I’m available for a listening ear any time. And how did you lose 40 pounds? I THOUGHT your face looked thinner! Did you do something like Weight Watchers? I’ve lost about 16 since the beginning of the year, but still have more to go. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
You always leave the nicest comments and I love to hear all your news! 💕💕 A meetup at Galleria next year would be SO fun! I started my new Rosewood Manor pattern tonight, it is so fun to work on! I’m pretty sure my job situation will improve pretty soon, and thank you so much for all the support and kind words, it truly means a lot. As for the weight loss I just mainly cut out sugar and processed foods and then stopped snacking after my last meal of the day. I had a nasty habit of evening snacking, now I just drink herbal tea or another no sugar beverage. Congrats on 16 pounds, that’s wonderful! Going in the right direction, every pound counts. I know how hard it is, believe me, I’ve been struggling with weight most of my life. You can do it!! Hugs and happy stitching! ☺️💕🍁
I was on vacation then got sick so I'm playing catch up on Flosstube. I'm just south of St. Louis in House Springs. There is a new cross stitch store in Farmington - Stitch Etc. I haven't been yet but hope to go sometime this month.
I hope to get down there as well! I heard that The Proper Stitcher will be there on Saturday, Dec 3 doing ornament finishes all day (10am-4pm) so I might try to go that day!
@@NeedleberryStitcher I don't remember the day but that sounds right. I want to go so maybe I'll see you there.
Welcome back, Kathryn! So glad to see you again! Sorry to hear work is not going well. That is so frustrating. Your description of the type of work you do sounds exactly like what I used to do. I had a somewhat similar situation, (though I was lucky throughout my career never to have worked for an out-and-out jerk like your new boss, but I know they're out there--I've heard the stories.) The last two years before I retired I was close to burning out too, so took another job in the same company requiring minimal effort. It wasn't much fun, but kept me sane and made the transition to retirement that much easier and sweeter, but I couldn't have kept it up much longer than that. Go find something that makes you happy and where you are appreciated. Sounds like you are focusing on the right things--meeting up with old friends, getting away from it all, being healthy and losing weight. Congrats! Such a big accomplishment! Looking forward to seeing your progress on those projects! --Deb
Thank you, Deb! So great to get your comments, hearing your experience gives me hope that I’ll eventually land in the right job! It will all work out, it always does. Still catching up on FlossTube, going to catch up on your channel - I want to see all your progress the past few months so I’ll need to watch ALL the ones I missed!! 🍁☺️
I really enjoy your floss tube videos. You're one of my favorites and no you don't talk too much. I love your wips. I've seen the tisket a tasket pattern on another floss tube and it is beautiful. That manager you have sounds like a jerk. I look forward to your next floss tube.
So good to see you again. So sorry for your employment issues, but I fully understand. I am retired now from the nursing field, but it seemed all my superiors were unqualified for their positions, and they got the positions by "looks" and "brown nosing" management.
Having more education than your superiors is also something that gets to the superiors. Hope things open up for you in the very near future that you will find the real job you are looking for. Always love your stitching projects as they just amaze me.
Thank you so much for your support and the kind words! I know all will work out as it should, I’m active in my network and I’ve got a few leads. Glad to hear you don’t have to put up with that anymore, I can’t wait to retire too! Happy stitching!! ☺️🍁
Amazing video as always. I am also a stitcher that is an IT PM totally agree with you that your new position is a not a great environment. Also I would be frustrated to not to be busy enough. Definitely a good time to be looking.
Thanks! Nice to hear that you can relate. IT PM work is tough, hope you are also not getting burned out in this crazy new post-COVID working world. People keep telling me that I should stitch if I have no work assigned, but I’m just not wired that way. If I’m paid to do a job, I want to do it well. ☺️🍁
So glad to see a new video. I had to go to 123 Stitch and add a couple things to my wishlist then I completed an Amazon order that was lingering and added the new Dimensions kit….not something you showed but while I was immersed in all things stitching…why not. I can not wait to see the stitch an inch piece. I’ve loved those all along but have never seen one stitched. Sorry about the job situation. Sounds to me like your boss is intimidated by your knowledge. He’s behaving like the puppy. Too bad he can’t go to the same sort of training. Retirement IS everything it’s cracked up to be. Hang in there. Pam
Enjoy retirement and STITCH EVERYTHING!!! 🥰😍☺️🍁
I found your video today. I was so excited to hear you are in the St. Louis area. I am in Imperial, south of St. Louis and I have absolutely no stitching friends and like you said no LNS. I wanted to let you know that a store called Stitch Etc. Just opened in Farmington. It takes about 50 minutes to get there from my house. But it is a really cute store. Thanks so much for getting that stichy bug back! Lol
😍😍😍 First of all it’s SO nice to meet a stitchy friend who lives not too far away (future meetup?? 😃) and second thank you for the info on the cross stitch store in Farmington! A road trip is in my future!!! Thanks!! ☺️🍁
I would love to meet up and maybe work on some stitching! 🌸
Great seeing you. Your stitching is beautiful. Congratulations on losing weight that is always hard. Hope your job situation gets better.
Thank you Dawn!! It’s great to be back stitching again! So nice of you to watch my video! 🍁☺️
😅 Nope.... You're still ahead of me! Sabrina got set to the side while I deal with some ongoing life stuff. I can't wait to get back to her though!
I still think you’re further ahead stitch-wise with all that one over one skin!! 🫣😂
@@NeedleberryStitcher 😅 That might be true. 😆
I missed you. I'm here for all the rambles. Sorry about the boss. I hope God leads you the right position
Thank you Paula - I appreciate all your support! And thank you for listening to my ramblings ☺️🍁
I watched and I did notice right away that something is different about you! U look nice, way to go! (you did look nice before also:D). I hope your work stuff will solve, its important thing in life, sadly, we are not all lotto winners:D i also want to retire but way too young for that. I think also that stitching mood comes and goes, mine went away some time ago because I have so many WIPS and I just wanted to do them all, so I got overwhelmed about all of them Stitching is become very important thing in my life, sometimes too important and its not normal:D So I think that kind of breaks are good, then its nice to come back to stitching. But autumn is the best time for cozy stitching so lets go!
Autumn greetings from Estonia from sunbeam_stitch!
We will get to retire one day and just stitch all day, won’t that be fun?? 😃 Thank you so much for the kind words, you are the sweetest! Have a wonderful week! ☺️🍁
X stitch store in farmington mo. Is awesome
There’s a cross stitch store in Farmington??? Do you happen to know the name of it?? 😍
Oh, and I noticed you weight loss...you look great!
Oh thank you!! You’re such a sweetheart! 💕💕
I don't think you ramble, i like your videos! You are one of my cross stitch friends, even though we are strangers, but that's ok. Keep on being you, love your stitching ❤
Aww, thank you so much! Every stitcher is an instant friend to me! ☺️💕
Stitch, etc in Farmington, Missouri just had a grand opening two weeks ago. Is that close to you?
Looks like it’s about an hour and a half away!! Thanks for letting me know about it I will definitely have to check it out!! 👍😃
Can you go back to your old job??
I have definitely thought about that… ☺️🍁
Lovely to have your stitching update. Unrelated - sounds like you need to check in with HR at your new location - you have a supervisor "challenge" and the minute something doesn't work - it may be laid at your feet. Sounds like you were not the candidate this particular person chose so they are being really. really petty
Thanks for the support! Can I just retire and go on fun cruises with you instead? 👍😀 💕
@@NeedleberryStitcher Sure. But I think your husband might miss you.... backpack for the electronics, duffle for the stitching, and ......???? oh, yeah, clothes.
It has sound for me
Thanks for letting me know! 👍🙂. I’ll leave it up for now unless more people still have issues.
No sound?
Ditto. Didn't hear anything either
Oh no! It took 18 hours to upload!!! Ugh!! 😂. Thanks for letting me know, I’ll try to re-upload!
I just played it back and it had sound… I don’t know what’s wrong with it. 🧐
I was reading on CZcams support that sometimes videos don’t cache properly right after they are uploaded but if you return later the problems are sometimes resolved. Hope that helps - the issues I had with playback seem okay now after waiting. ☺️💕
Life is short. Please look for a new job. This company obviously accepts your co workers behaviour (maybe he is just too exhausting to deal with), and working with a psychopath is not worth the stress. Wishing you all the best. You are looking well. I also need to get active and shift a few pounds!
Great advice, I agree - life is too short to put up with abusive people. 👍
I was surprised at how easy the weight came off when I cut out sugar and processed foods. Makes such a huge difference - not just losing pounds but feeling better overall! ☺️🍁
Your manager is threatened by you . Period.
Maybe so… he likes to call me “Buddy” and “Pal” like I’m a 10 year old boy on a baseball team 🤣
Total gaslight
