Chat with me as much as you like! I always enjoy seeing what others are stitching on and planning to do. Plus, the longer the video is, the longer I can stitch without worrying about stopping and finding the next thing to watch ♥️✨ Happy New Year!
That’s so true about longer videos, I like not having to keep stopping and starting new ones while I’m stitching! Happy New Year, and happy stitching! ☺️💕
I had extra time today and went back to watch your 2023 Plans and WIP parade. Just wanted to say HI and let you know how much I enjoy your podcasts.
Thank you so much!! So glad you said hello! ☺️💕
I would've LOVED the 3 hour version of your WIP parade. This magnet idea is genius. I'm super excited about watching the upcoming videos where you add some and remove some. So excited.
Hi Kathryn! I have been saving your WIPGO aboard videos to watch- I got Covid for Christmas, and was so fatigued for a few days that even the phone was too heavy to hold! I am well on the way to recovery now, and had your video to reward myself! I love your videos- I think you are my favorite creator! Loved this idea for the 4 WIPGO boards- what a great idea. Enough variety to where you don’t get bored but you can actually see some progress! It should be a fun January for you. Take care and we’ll see you next month!
Not COVID!! That’s terrible that you got it over Christmas!! So sorry to hear that! I’m glad to hear that you’re on the mend and using my videos as a reward, ha ha! We’ll see how WIPGO goes… so far I’ve worked on three of my eight planned projects, but I’m already starting to get distracted with other stitchy things! At least I’m trying, but if it’s not fun, then why bother. Have a wonderful month, my friend! Feel better soon! ☺️💕
Love the chatty side of you. I learn a ton when you share. I would love the three hour video. Lol💗
Aww, you are so sweet!! I’ll be back again soon with a “chattier” video! Happy New Year!! 🥳☺️💕
Silly question. My name is Arlene but it isn’t showing up. I am new to this. Would you have any idea why? 🤷🏻♀️
Love the magnet idea!! Good for you for ditching projects you aren't enjoying anymore. There are too many beautiful projects to stitch and you might as well stitch on things you really love!😊
I agree, there are just so many beautiful patterns that I shouldn’t waste time on the ones I don’t like! It’s hard to abandon projects I’ve started but I think it’s time to weed my stitching garden. 😂
I have only recently subscibed to your channel and I really enjoy watching. The WIPGO boards are a great idea and you have done so much work on it.....impressive. I like listening to you talk, I just sit and stitch and listen. I have some projects in common and the same attitude as to finishing things. I stitch for fun and just to stitch, dont really care if it gets finished especially full coverage. Anyway rambling now, so keep up the great videos and stitching.
Aww, thanks for the nice comment!! What projects do we share in common? It’s always fun to stitch on WIPs knowing other people are working on them too! I hope you and your loved ones have an amazing 2023 year and that you will have lots of time for stitching all the fun and beautiful things! ☺️💕
Thank you for explaining your WIPGO Board. Finally, it makes sense to me. I’m thrilled that you like Paula Vaughn plus Lavender and Lace. I was beginning to think that I was the only one who remembered / worked on those patterns. I love watching your videos. Keep up the stitching that YOU want to do. Remember your board, your rules. Happy Stitching from South Carolina!
Yes, goals are just goals, we can always change our minds - stitching is supposed to be fun!! Love being reminded of that, I may need more reminding when I get overwhelmed in a couple of months!! 😂😂
Happy New Year! 🥳☺️💕
I love your magnet board for WIPGO.! That is terrific, so organized. I'm behind in flosstubes, trying to catch up. Always love visiting with you and glad you're chatty, feels like sitting down with a friend.❤️
You are so sweet, Beth! I feel the same way when watching your videos ❤️💕❤️
🎉 your WIPGO looks like so much fun! - hope you’re still enjoying it! - Nic x
Not a chance!! 😂 Oops, spoiler!! 🤣
The greatness is none of this is written in stone . I went through My stash and donated 31 charts/kits. My plan is to focus on three wips and buy the one dimensions kit I really really really want - Garden Reflections. It'll come to me when I'm ready ..it's not like I need it so by then my want will dissipate. In the meantime I got about 370 charts/kits to work on...just 3 at a time at a snail's pace otherwise my OCD will kick in shopping spree 2023...Happy New Year!
370 charts and kits??! Wow!!! I like your approach of 3 at a time, I’d love to be down to about 10 WIPs and never go over that - finish one, start one. But I made the mistake of starting too many years ago when my kids were little. And you’re right - plans are not written in stone!! ☺️💕
‘Just a number’ love it. Happy new year! Happy stitching!
☺️💕
Happy New Year, absolutely love your concept for wipgo, I've never done wipgo before, but have the same idea of working 3 days on each project, hopefully this will keep my progress going along. I look forward to your flosstube every month, and enjoy them immensely. Being over 60 now, I know there are some of my projects that I'll never finish and I'm fine with that I too enjoy the process, and I'm still addicted to kitting up projects too. Thanking for sharing.
Kitting up projects is part of the fun for sure, keep dreaming and enjoying the process!! 💕💕💕
I for one love your rambling chit chat! Great board setup. I look forward to seeing your progress on all these pieces!
Thanks!! I’ll try to be more chatty in my next video, I prefer it too 😂
Love your plans and your 4 wipgo boards. Good luck and happy stitching!
Thanks, I think I’m going to need luck! 😂
Love the magnet WIPGO board. I bet it is going to be very satisfying to remove projects as you get them done. Love the chit chat. I had never heard of a no count cross stitch, so looking forward to seeing your progress on that one. Happy New Year may your stitching be calm and plentiful.
Happy New Year to you as well!! Happy stitching!! ☺️💕
Love hearing your plans....flexibility is the key.... happy new year!
Agree - great to make plans but no big deal if plans change!! Happy New Year!
I really enjoyed your planning. The 4 boards are super organized and should keep you abreast of what you need to stitch. Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year to you as well, and happy stitching!! ☺️💕
I love the idea of a WIPGO board and appreciated you explaining how you set it up with the tiny decisions app. I can only mentally deal with a handful of WIPS at a time (up until earlier this year I was a strictly monogamous stitcher) so I am awestruck by your ability to have 80 WIPS! Thank you so much for putting yourself out there and making flosstube videos, I love how talkative you are, and I sincerely look forward to your videos in 2023! God Bless and see you in the New Year!
Aww, thank you so much for leaving such a sweet comment! To be honest I really like working on one thing at a time but I got myself in a pickle with all these starts many years ago when my kids were little and now it’s a vicious cycle of starting new things… FlossTube is so dangerous!! 😂 Happy New Year and God Bless you and your loved ones in 2023!! 🥳☺️💕
Ooh to be so organized I wish 🎊🪡🧵🪡🧵🐇🐇
We’ll see how long it lasts before I’m a mess again!! 🤣
I am amazed at all you have done and how much you plan to do !!! I am just getting back into counted cross stitch. I love how candid you are and low key. I have done my first board while listening to you. Excited to see how much I get done this month. I don't have a lot of WIPS - just 2 at the moment. But I have purchased dozens and dozens of patterns and kits.
Ooh! What are the two designs you’re currently working on? 😃
@@NeedleberryStitcher I have the Lady of the Flag (Nora Corbett) in process for many years. Approx 30% completed. I just started a Mill Hill Santa Ornament kit (so maybe not a qualified WIP) but I plan to finish him today. Then I have to choose another project to start - never thought you should have more than 1 project going at a time - which is silly to say - but I think I have found my tribe on these floss tubes ;)
@@bridgetkelly4519 My brain says to work one project at a time, my eyes don’t agree 😂
What a great video dear friend ❤️. Love your plans. You explained Wipgo go good. I have always loved how you have your wips in 4 categories, makes total sense. I give you props if I understood it right 1000 stitches on each one for Wipgo. I know you can stitch that easily because you are a fast stitcher ❤️. 80 wips is good. 100 might be better 😂😂❤️. Like I have told you, do what you want, stitch what you love ❤️. It’s your hobby and it’s supposed to be fun ❤️❤️. Happy New Year sweetheart and look forward to you 2023 videos ❤️❤️
You’re so bad for my startitis!! 😂😂
Happy New Year to you too dear friend!! 💕💕💕
@@NeedleberryStitcher 🤣❤️. Just trying to help a friend out 🤣🤣❤️❤️
Hello again.😊 Thank you for the plans video. They seem simple enough to follow and relaxed enough to stick to! ⚘️
PS: I find stitching in hand is easier for small pieces, on stiffer fabrics with smaller holes. My faves are undyed aida, monaco and plain Zweigart. Some of the hand dyes are so soft and loose, I don't even try any more.
Thanks for the tip!! I still want to try again at some point ☺️
We LOVE your talking. Lol I know I do. Happy new year! Can’t wait to see what you stitch this year.
Thanks Megan!! I like the videos where people talk more too, but the parade would have taken hours if I talked about each one!! I’ll be chatting much more in my update videos this year!
BTW I don’t know how you learned to knit so fast but I was mesmerized watching you in one of your recent videos!!
Very fun! Looking forward to following along this year! 🤗
Thanks! We’ll see if I can keep up with the WIPGO boards ☺️. At least I’ll be working on more projects that haven’t been worked on in a while!
Love chatty videos (obviously 😂) and love your magnet WIPGO board. What a great idea! I did WIPGO two years ago, but it ended up kind of stressing me out. I’ve been in a big “Stitch What You Want” mood. Trying to catch up on FlossTube, so need to go back an watch your WIP parade. I enjoy seeing all the different kinds things you stitch. Belated Happy New Year!
I have to admit I’m glad I started the year trying something structured but I’m not expecting it to last all year. It becomes too much like a job and work when there are schedules and deadlines… stitching is my happy place and I want to stitch what I love. If I work on a couple of projects each month from the “pool” of projects selected for WIPGO, that’s a win for me. Stitch on a few things that haven’t been loved for a while. Have a great month! ☺️💕
Your WIPGO boards look like fun. Can't wait to see your progress this year. Happy New Year!
Happy new year to you as well, I wish you lots of stitching time in the new year!
Happy New Year to you and your family! I gotta say those little picture holders are genius!
You can talk all you want I love the longer videos because I can stitch. I can't wait to
see the progress on your projects or if you decide to change something along the way.
I love the Mira's and fancy ladies you have and my other favorite is Beauty and the Beast.
Happy Stitching! See ya next month!
Happy New Year to you as well!! I’ll be much chattier in my next video and make it longer! ☺️💕
Happy New Year! I am stressing with 3 WIP's that I have. However, you have "enticed" me to start a couple more projects. We shall see how it goes! From your previous videos, you mentioned a LNS store that is no longer. I haven't been stitching for very long but we know have the Craft Connection that is super. Not sure if your family members are cross stitchers, but the owner and staff are extremely helpful. Looking forward to your next video!
Yes …please don’t starve your stitchy bug because she (your stitchy bug) will binge start after your birthday. 😂. Hehehehe. Your goals are wonderful and well thought out!!! Happy New Year!!! 🎊
Sounds like you are speaking from experience!! 😂😂 Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year! Nice organized plans for 2023. I love the magnet idea and putting the pictures of your projects. I set goals too and if I change them, then I change them…your mood can change and that’s ok because stitchers in general always have a variety of projects to work on. I wished I liked full coverage but if you ever get to a point where you want to finish a full coverage, you can cut the pattern down or just stitch the part you really like. I don’t mind when people go off on tangents I like to hear the stories on the videos. Happy stitching!
That’s a great idea about cutting down the design size if I don’t want to finish the whole thing. I thought about that for the Van Gogh Night piece with the cats, maybe I’ll just stitch the cats! 2023 is going to be a great year, I wish you and your loved ones all the best for a wonderful new year!
Thank you so much! The same to you and your family!
I loved this video! Your board with magnets is such a good and fun idea! I'm already excited to see your monthly updates on your board. Happy new year!
Thanks! I can’t take credit for the idea, I’ve seen some other stitchers do something similar. Suki the Brown Eyed Stitcher and Brenda from Handworkmaniac also have magnet boards. Hopefully I can keep up with my plans, but even if I can’t I’ll at least be working on more projects this year that haven’t been worked on in a while. Happy stitching! ☺️💕
Oh you have a great lineup for January! I think i am most excited to see progress on Lost no More and Birds and Bloom! ( but they all look great!) 😊
I need to put in 1000 stitches in my Bird Garden this month for Full Coverage Fanatics, so it will be fun to see your progress on that piece as well!
I thought about joining Full Coverage Fanatics but I wasn’t sure I could handle multiple challenges. I’m also not good at reporting progress on IG/FB. I love that we’re both doing an Aimee Stewart Birds/Blooms pattern, I’m excited to follow your progress too! ☺️💕
Looks like you have good plans. I’m not doing WIPGO, but I have made a simple plan to work on about 8-10 projects a month. One will be a focus project that I will continue to work on the next month if not finished. Stitching should always be fun. Happy New Year!
YES!! If stitching isn’t fun then we’re doing something wrong! ☺️💕 I like your plan, 8-10 per month but then just keep rolling them to the next month! Very stress-free plan!!
Happy New Year! 🥳
Just found your channel. Your projects are pretty. It's going to be a great year and I'm excited to follow along.
Thanks for watching my channel, your support means so much! ☺️💕
It's great to see that you embrace the reality of your stitching style. You're not trying to make unrealistic rigid plans but instead flexible goals. Your genuineness is one of the many reasons I thoroughly enjoy your flosstube. Happy New Year to you and your family!
Thanks so much for the kind comment, so nice to connect with people who share the same joyful hobby! Have a blessed New Year!! ☺️💕
That whip goal board plural is very ambitious of you and I’m in your corner cheering you on there hopefully you do everything you wanna do. I have one with cupboard is my third year doing it I had a black out last year. I came out of the year with two whips 37 finishes and New Year’s Eve I did the 12 starts so it’s up to put on my wiggle board. Love your videos have a great New Year’s
37 finishes, WOW! Well done!!!! Happy New Year and I hope you get another WIPGO blackout again this year!! ☺️💕
I love your chatty videos- I stitch along and listen and look at your beautiful projects. The magnet idea is fabulous! Where did you get those magnets? I may steal your idea. Sounds like you have a good plan for making progress on nearly everything 😊. Happy stitchy 2023
Oh thank you!! I’m always glad to hear when someone likes my chattiness 😂. I found the magnets on Amazon, but I will warn you that I have had to use Gorilla Glue over the magnet adhesive on quite a few of them otherwise the plastic falls off the magnet strips! Didn’t bother me to do that but some people might find it annoying.
Here is the Amazon link: Kurtzy Blank Photo Frame Insert... www.amazon.com/dp/B00O8IYK88?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Great goals for 2023. Hope you have a Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you as well!! ☺️💕
Love it!
Thanks!!! ☺️💕
Whoa! 3 1/2 hours! I would have watched….lol. You have great plans to try to touch all your WIPs in 2023. The month when 13 is called (the free space in Bingo) is going to be quite a month for you since 3 numbers are called that month. Maybe you’ll have to slide #13 forward on 3 boards…then the following month pick one of the #13’s to work on and so forth until you’ve hit them all. Just hope that 13 is called by September for that to work. I am looking forward to seeing Wipgo play out. This is the first year I’ve done it. Pam
Fun that you’re doing WIPGO for the first time this year too! I like your strategy for #13 - that will be fun! I’ll have to just stitch 1000 stitches each day on the weekends so I can avoid having to stitch 3 days on some of them! 😂. Good luck, and I’m looking forward to following your progress on your channel! ☺️💕
I'm all about flexible plans !! Finding more inspiration from you Katherine. I'm looking for the Atlantic seaboard sampler , I love Anne of Green Gables, one of my favorite characters. All the best for your 2023 stitching plans. I'm planning to stitch what I want but February will be focussed on finished some ancient WIPs, and especially looking forward to StitchNorth and meeting you. Happy new Year!
Yes!! StitchNorth will be so fun, we’ll definitely have to connect! Do you know what projects you’ll be taking yet or is it too early to plan?
@@NeedleberryStitcher I plan to bring many LOL but won't likely decide til coser to the date
I also used the tiny decisions app to set up my board…lol
Love your plans…sounds like you’ll have plenty of variety to keep you interested, but doable goals.
Yes! I hope the variety will keep me motivated, and maybe I’ll finally get some of the older projects finished. Have a wonderful week, and happy stitching! ☺️💕
Hi Katherine - Happy New Year! I enjoyed seeing your plans for WIPGO- the magnets are great! I chose not to do WIPGO this year - I made it through 10 months last year before I found it too rigid for me. I am going to work on WIPS this year - I have 24 and I plan to try and finish14 of them. 4 went in time out - I’m not going to consider them UFOs but I don’t feel the love for them anymore. The rest I might work on if I get others finished. I do have 13 projects I really want to start - two I already have. It will be fun to follow your progress and see what goals you meet. I really like how organized you are. Have a wonderful couple of weeks.
I’m only a week into WIPGO and already finding it too rigid, haha! Glad you made it 10 months last year. I’ll see how I do with it. Good luck with all your starts, that sounds so fun! I must control my urge to start something new… at least for now! 😂
My WIPGO is set up similarly to yours-3 boards for different types. I just want to see progress but not stress out!
Yes! The boards don’t have to be rigid, but they help plan what gets worked on so that most things get at least a little bit of progress!
Love the chitty chatty videos much more ❤❤❤ I can relate to uploading problems(((( I have to use vpn to do it, since CZcams doesn’t work in China, so depending on the speed it can take up to 6 hours real time and somehow it never works to leave it overnight, my phone just turns into sleep mode if I don’t look at it. It’s scary how it knows that I m not using it. And I can’t really use my phone while it’s uploading since it breaks the connection 😢😢😢
I know exactly what you mean!! So frustrating! I finally changed my internet and have a slightly faster upload time now, and the other thing I learned is to pause iCloud syncing in photos/videos while uploading, that helps a lot too!
I love the magnets! I would love to figure out how to make that work for me. It would be great to have a big visual of all of my WIPs. Thanks for a great video!
I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year! Maybe you got lots of stitching done too!
Happy New Year! I love your plan. I think it will work for you. Just enjoy the process😊
Yes, it’s great to make plans but at the end of the day it’s great to enjoy what we stitch on! Happy New Year!! ☺️💕
I'm only 1m 15s in and already looking up those magnets because... yes!! Those would be easier than laminating like I'm currently doing.
I totally stole your idea with the whiteboard and magnets! I love love love the visuals for doing WIPs and knowing what to work on! ❤️❤️❤️
@@NeedleberryStitcher I love your take on it! The visual is so helpful.
Love your videos and your chatting. That is what makes you so interesting. Happy New Year. Look forward to your progress. I always spell words with the u because I am Canadian. Software spell check drives me crazy, but then again it might be a short trip. HAHAHA.
Ha! I think we’re all just one stitch away from crazy 😂😂 Have a wonderful week and happy stitching!! ☺️💕
Happy New Year!
Happy new year! 🥳☺️💕
Talk away!! I have 2 boards this year. We’ll see how this goes!
Yay! This is my first time for WIPGO, like you I’m just going to see how it goes! So far I’ve been able to work on projects that I haven’t worked on in years and it’s very motivating. But then it’s only been a week 😂. Good luck with yours!!
My parents were Canadian! However I was born in the US. I love your video style and look forward to seeing your progress. I was a cross stitcher 15 years ago and am getting back into it !!
Wonderful, so glad you decided to start stitching again! If your parents were Canadian you may be able to file paperwork to obtain a certificate of Canadian Citizenship if you haven’t already done so. Happy New Year and happy stitching!! ☺️💕
Happy New Year!🎉
Happy New Year to you as well! Happy stitching!! ☺️💕🥳
I would have loved to see your 3+ hour wip parade! The chatty bits are the best 🙊😁 Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the projects as we go along 🙂
I will be extra chatty in my next video!! 😂💕
So many projects! You go girl! You got this!
We’ll certainly see if I can knock out a few things!! Fingers crossed!! 😂
Vonna sent me!
I’m glad she did! ☺️💕 Thanks for checking out my channel!
