I've already bought simple black wood frames for each of them, that will stand independently so I will have choices of where to display them. I'm enjoying stitching them, and determined to have them for Christmas, but will also enjoy a bit more variety in my stitching when these are completed. Love the mirabilia you are working on for your mother, it's fun to watch them come to life isn't it.
It is fun to watch them come to life! I just finished her last night...looking forward to showing her in my next video!
I love your projects!!!
Aww thank you!
Thanks for sharing Rosie! Just found you and really enjoyed your flosstube. Like you, I am in cross stitching desert, haven't found any other stitchers, live in a very rural, but beautiful Appalachian area. We have no stores that carry stitching supplies, thank goodness for the internet, which can be iffy😅.
This year I have been 'monogamously' stitching Nora Corbett's reindeer. I'm on #7, determined to have them finished for Christmas this year. The sleigh may have to come next year. Thanks again for sharing! Love your customizations, I may have to borrow that term.
Thank you Bonnie! We can be remote stitching friends together. How exciting about the reindeer; how will you finish them??
Hi there; your projects are beautiful. I look forward to seeing those gorgeous butterflies as you work on them.
Thank you so much! I've been making slow progress on the butterflies in the last week. And I look forward to watching your videos!
Hi Rosie, welcome to the floss tube community! Thanks for sharing your projects. It's always nice to be introduced to the various patterns that exist.
@TheCrossStitchGuy thank you so much! I see you recently started a Mira...following you and will watch your videos this weekend. I hope you love Nora's designs as much as I do!
Hi! Your video came up as a recommend, and when I saw Unicorn Tapestry (it's in my collection too, and I definitely want to stitch it!) I had to watch. Enjoyed your video and all your beautiful work. Hope the warmth and beauty of spring reaches you soon, happy stitching! 🌷
Thank you! You will love Unicorn Tapestry - its such a fun stitch! (Also not sure if you've seen but I also did a time lapse video where I took a photo of my progress every hour with that design.) Have a beautiful May!
@@RosieintheRockies I did! It was great, love progress videos!
I really enjoyed your video, as I am new to cross stitch, I loved the pace of the video and the closeups of all your pieces. The two ladies are gorgeous, it is not one I have seen on other floss tubes. I am looking forward to your next installment and watching your progress. Thanks for sharing.
@dairionalee5227 thank you so much and glad you enjoyed! I also feel new to stitching (4 years in). What are you working on now?
Hi Rosie! It's very nice to "meet" you. You did a fabulous job on your first FT video. Good for you! I'm afraid I don't have the courage or the IT knowledge to try one. Hence, I stick to posting over on Instagram. I'm a huge Mira/Nora fan, so will be looking forward to seeing your progress. And ALL of your wips are beautiful! See you at the end of the month.
Thank you Stephanie! I have a Mira/Nora collection of patterns, so I'll have at least one of each going all the time. :)
Welcome to flosstube! You stitch amazing gifts, your projects are beautiful 😊
Thank you for the kind words!
You are well spoken and your video was well paced. I enjoyed the variety of beautiful and unique projects. You gave me enough time to see each project. Some floss tubers rush too much. Additionally, I enjoyed your description of what attracted you to each pattern and how each fit gift recipient. Your voice is soothing too.
Your comment made my day! Thank you so much for the very kind words; I'm glad you enjoyed!
Hi from Europe!
I loved your video and your WIPS are just stunning!
Happy stitching❤
Thank you so much!
Hi Rosie - I really enjoyed your video and love your beautiful projects. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for the kind comment!
Hi from Canada, great flosstube. You have beautiful projects, thank you for sharing. Happy stitching
Thank you so much, Donna! Depending on where in CA you live, we may have the rocky mountain range in common. :)
I enjoyed this video so much with all the beautiful stitching you shared. Btw: I had no problem hearing you...your voice is very soothing:) Thanks for sharing your projects.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Welcome to Flosstube! Your projects are so lovely. I think your voice is perfect and I love the ASMR quality - keep it up! ❤
Thank you!!! The ASMR was not intentional, but I'm glad its soothing. I am really glad you commented - just added your videos to my stitching playlist so that I can watch them next time I stitch. :)
You got some lovely projects.
I too am "mostly monogamous", with a goal to go from six to four projects.
Thank you! Best of luck to both of us while we mostly monogamously stitch!
So relaxing to watch. Such beautiful stitching❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed :)
Nice projects. I only a work on a few projects at a time, on purpose. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
I enjoyed watching your video. I loved hearing your story about the bookshelf piece for your librarian friend.
Thank you! I'm hoping to frame that piece and give it to her in July, so will try to remember to share an update when she receives it. :)
Welcome to flosstube, Rosie! 😁
You have some great projects! I am looking forward to seeing your progress on that dimensions kit! It's beautiful! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Thank you Angie! I am fangirling - I've been watching your channel for a while but hadn't been brave enough to comment. You're one of my favorite channels to watch while I stitch!
@RosieintheRockies Aw thanks, Rosie! 😁. That totally made my day!
I completely get the comment thing , it can be intimidating for sure.
( I won't tell you how many times I have written and deleted parts of this comment😝)
I hope next time you stop by my channel, you will say hi! 😊 ( no pressure, though!)
Take Care! 🪡
Hello from the front range. Loved all of your projects. Can’t wait to follow along with your progress.
Thank you so much Trisha! Just subscribed and can't wait to watch your videos while I stitch. :)
Always nice to see a fellow stitcher share on floss tube. Your stitching looks lovely. I also like your filming set up, it reminds me of Lori Holts filming. I hope floss tube gives you what you are looking for. I will be looking for your next video.
Thank you!
Hi Rosie, I enjoyed your soothing video. I loved your library stitch and think that is such a lovely retirement gift for your friend. Regarding your beaded project--I'm wondering if tacking the thread ends on the back with some fabric glue would help to secure them. Might be worth a try.
Thank you for the kind words. What a great idea about fabric glue...your comment inspired me to order some and return to the beading project. :)
I was wondering if you are using bending thread as it is stronger.
🦉Happy to find another new flosstuber! Welcome, welcome! Loved your shares and looking forward to watching more as you progress. Following 🤗🛎️
Thank you for the warm welcome, and following you back! Looks like you have many videos, so you're going to be my viewing company while I stitch next weekend!
@@RosieintheRockies - awesome!
Hi, Rosie, welcome; thanks for the video; I am from Lithuania ( now a bit living in another EU country). Your wips are lovely, you could keep one for yourself they are beautiful. 👌☺️
Thank you Inga! I do sometimes stitch for myself, and have some Mirabilia mermaids planned for myself...but then I get excited to stitch for someone else and do that instead. :)
@@RosieintheRockies great then; it would be lively if you tell somethibg about mountainous area where you live.
Hello from Southern Colorado!....lovely projects...great start on Flosstube!!!
Thank you! And so nice to "meet" another Coloradan on here; hoping to make it to your part of the state to hike some of the lakes this summer.
Love your stitching and flosstube. Just moved to the sunshine state from living in the mountains of Colorado for forty years. Never knew anyone either who cross stitched. Plus no stores to buy anything but thank goodness found Etsy and flosstube. Hope to see you again soon
About petits on the face I did myself a false countour with backstitch first, then blended petits and filled in the face turned outrealistic and great.
About the orchids beading - if you weave the thread under it will stay put; people really finish them, I have not tried- as I don’t have where to buy such pieces.
Thank you for both great ideas! I haven't tried false contour with backstitch yet...will try on a future project. I purchased my beading project on etsy. The seller no longer has a store, but I think if you search beaded needlework there are many options. Most sellers are from Eastern Europe, so I wonder if they are produced there?
@@RosieintheRockies yes the biggest production is or used to be in Ukraine ( now it is under stress due to war) ;)
Hi! I’m from Northern California. Love your beautiful projects! I’m smiling because I didn’t know why you were speaking so quietly until you said your household was beginning to wake up! I totally understand!! I’m happy I found you. Good for you deciding to jump on flosstube. I don’t have any friends who stitch either, so flosstube is my long distance stitchy friendships. Tell me about that beading project! I’d love to try that! Where did you get it? Was it a kit or did you have to source the beads. I do see how it would be concerning about the anchoring of those beads. Happy to meet you. Happy stitching 😊. Cheri
Thank you Cheri! So nice to meet you. I'm soft spoken in general. I think the etsy store where I purchased the beading project (and three others) closed down during the war in eastern europe. But if you search "beaded cross stitch" on etsy there are so many different kinds of patterns! Just be aware most use plastic (not glass) beads, which means you can't iron the piece when its done. What are you stitching on now?
Love your projects, especially the disembodied Mira Victorian ladies 😂 And I stitch mostly monagamously too! Nothing wrong with fewer projects at a time because it leads to faster finishes! 🤗
Thank you! Hopefully the ladies will be less disembodied and more Victorian next time I update.
All lovely pieces! 👍
Thank you!
Hello from North Carolina. I'm a new subscriber and I'm new to cross stitching as well. Have a great day
Hi Annette, thank you for subscribing! I subscribed to you too and can't wait to watch your videos when I sit down to stitch next. :)
Hi from Massachusetts! Good luck with your CZcams channel. 👍👍
Thank you so much!
Hello, tyf sharing your work. I loved the In the Library piece. The colours are richer than the picture so it was a pleasant surprise! 🩷 Im stitching a monarch butterfly just on aida. Watching from Ont. Can.
Thank you for watching and your comment! And yes, the colors on In the Library are brighter when you use two strands. The recommendation is 1x1 on 36 ct linen, which probably gives a more faded, antique feel. But I like the brightness of the 2x2.
I loved your video and I have to say your voice is so calm and soothing to my always-too-busy mind. Your work is beautiful. I’m thinking for the all beaded piece that maybe ironing on some fusible interfacing to the back when it’s done will help the threads stay in place. That will only work if they’re glass beads, ironed on face down on some towels. I don’t know if that will work, but that’s what popped in my mind. I’d maybe start with a corner and see how it goes.
Thank you so much for watching and the lovely comment. The fusible interface is a great idea! I think these beads are glass, but maybe I'll try to iron a few of them on a towel with a t-shirt in between to make sure they don't melt, and then try a very small corner of the fabric. Thank you again!
Hey, Rosie. I really enjoyed your video and I like that you don't have lots of WIP. I like that your post was a shorter one, just the right amount before I head to bed.
Welcome to flosstube! You did a wonderful video and I too love your format for viewing. You are very calming and soothing. Your projects are beautiful! How do you stitch? In hand or with Q-snaps or hoop? I’m amazed of how many of these you are gifting. Very nice.
I will be tuning in on your next flosstube!
Thank you so much! I stitch two-handed using either 11x11 or 8x8 qsnap (or 11x17 if I'm beading a Mira that fits), and a lap stand. I often do the backstitch and beading by hand at the very end though. If I remember, I'll try to insert a photo of my setup in my next video.
Hello from the Front Range! I occasionally visit mysister in Rifle, and, wow, we are almost spoiled east of the divide.
Hello! We are all spoiled for the beautiful mountains here, but the front range is especially lucky for the great craft and needlework stores!
Be yourself, and you have speak just a louder i have my volume all the way up
@rebeccaharrison947 I'm so sorry about the volume! I'm pretty soft-spoken, so will try with a microphone next time.
@@RosieintheRockiesim also a very quiet talker and my first flosstube was hard. You’ll get the hang of it ☺️
Very hard to hear you. Lovely stitching.
Thank you Betty. Working on the mic issue and hope to have it resolved by my next video. Thank you for watching and hope you return.
