    I had to pause the video and just tell you that you helped me get through the pandemic….you and other flosstubers. I imagine you started this channel to share your love of cross stitch and I love your videos. As I’ve learned from you and others, stitch what you love. There are no crossstitch police but apparently there are crossstitch judges who should be disbarred….ignore and/or block….keep the faithful who adore you and love to see what you create.

      Elizabeth Ann!!! You make me and probably most of us feel great! I have so many WIPS that I too, am thinking of parting ways with. It’s a hard decision because 1) we love the finished pattern, 2) time and expense already put into the particular piece., but it’s true! Am I or are you going to really actually stitch a piece you aren’t loving? Actually, this is another great video because you are helping me come to terms with some of my pieces which I love but don’t love to stitch. So, I will donate them (at least the pattern) so someone can enjoy the process. Sometimes it’s just not going to be what we think it is when see the pattern until we get it home and start stitching. I applaud you for your sincerity! You have helped so many of us through life’s ups and downs. Never doubt yourself. You are lovely, fun and super intelligent. Follow that woman’s instinct and move forward with the next piece that you love, this is a hobby we are suppose to enjoy and love, after all. Happy New Year to you, your hubby and your entire family! All of you make me smile😃🪡🪡✂️🪡

    Life is too short to stitch items that no longer make you happy. I just went through this process with my quilt WIPs. Let them go! Our preferences change. Love your channel!

  • @larainecroall7541
    @larainecroall7541 Před 7 měsíci

    Sometimes we see a pattern and fall in love with it. Then when it is time to stitch we look at it and decide not really ready to start. It is all right to stitch something, and not finish it. Later on it might grab our attention and then we can start and finish. Good luck

    I love your floss tube. You are delightful. My personality is to finish one cross stitch project at a time. I have many that I want to do, but stick to the one I’m doing until done. I watch many other floss tubes also and see all of the WIPS. Soooo many. I just want to see them done or given to someone who will finish and love them. My mind would go bonkers having so many hanging out there.

  • @kimrae6752
    @kimrae6752 Před 7 měsíci +3

    I absolutely LOVE it that you’re doing an honest Wip parade! There are many Ftubers who will say that they have UFO’ed some projects, but they won’t say which ones or why. We ALL need to reevaluate our Wip’s from time to time and I find it extremely helpful to hear other stitchers go through the process of elimination because I’m sure that I’ve got some Wip’s that need to go bye-bye. It doesn’t mean that the designer or design are wrong or bad… just that there is something amiss for the stitcher and life is too short to stitch (or knit! ) projects that you don’t love! So, thank you! Ignore any judgy McJudgypanst pple!

  • @frontofficed.burnell-power6288
    @frontofficed.burnell-power6288 Před 7 měsíci +1

    My daughter's would so eye roll this comment and tell me how creepy I sound....so I have some awareness about how this can be misinterpreted. I am sure when you started this journey you had specific reasons. I am certain I watch your channel every week for NONE of those reasons. This has to be true of so many who watch and then comment because of whatever disappointments exist in there own lives. I started watching you when I became ill. To distract me from pain. To see someone so alive, passionate and positive and having fun in their life... so I could remember that part of my life.(I'm not really that old) I barely cross stitch, but understand the obsessiveness about it. I quilt whenever I can, which mainly now is hand piecing. And I will never knit. But I watch you do it ALL and celebrate that you do it ALL and appreciate that you film your journey because it adds so much positivity to my week. Life is short, If there is anything about a WIP that you are thinking of leaving behind that you love: isolate it and make it into a small. Your wedding one for example. Imagine a bowl full of your wedding smalls in whatever colour and experiment with all the colours. Your Blackbird where you don't like the green border: stitch it without the border if it pleases you or be done with it. You accomplish so much because you try so many different things and drop them when your interest wanes and that is exactly how we should approach our hobbies. Because face it: we often have to stick with relationships and jobs that don't always please us and we need the pleasure from other areas of out lives to stay and work through the sticky bits with some grace. But our hobbies ...should be real joy. And you show this in every video. I guess I just could have simply said thank you and left it at that. :) Oh well.

  • @bethliotta267
    @bethliotta267 Před 7 měsíci

    Another fantastic video. And I agree with others - you helped get me through the pandemic and I absolutely love you!!! You have so many others that support you and love you too. POOF!! Trolls be gone!!! Also I, too, have purged and UFO'd projects - I call it "I don't stitch something out of guilt". I get joy out of getting the pattern, kitting things and stitching things. And if all three of these don't align - OUT IT GOES! I Gift the design/chart to others or send them to floss tubers to use as giveaways! SO, stitch what you love, and our tastes do change! Can't wait to see your next video. Love your quilting ones also! Take care!

  • @donnaboyd5108
    @donnaboyd5108 Před 7 měsíci +2

    What a great way to start off the new year! I think alot of us struggle with the hard decisions of when to let go of something. Most of the time letting go benefits ourself as well as the one receiving the item we no longer want for whatever reason. To some this process is so easy and for some it is a real struggle. Thank you for being open and honest in your flosstube. I can understand how a flosstuber can aquire more WIPS than is feasibly manageable. I wish you nothing but success as you go into the new year with your paired down WIPS. Looking forward to seeing all your progress.

    I was sitting here stitching on the first part of a 12-part piece. It's part of my resolve to get my WIP count down in 2024, but I sort of dreaded this piece and it's remained barely started for months. It's big and filled with stuff I don't want to stitch. Watching you cull through your projects inspired me to rethink the design. I decided to make the piece smaller and do only what I like. It has turned an old WIP I "had" to work on into a project I'm excited to work on. Thanks for inspiring me to rethink and let go.

    I stitched the Happy Birthday America and I wrapped (I believe this what the instructions say to do) the printed fabric around a paper-mache round box and paint the lid and pedal red then glue the box down to the lid making it look like a cake stand with a cake. It’s real easy.

  • @joyscout348
    @joyscout348 Před 7 měsíci

    Liked your video. There are so many nice patterns/kits available yet not enough time or money to stitch all one’s “eye candy”. I do enjoy seeing other people’s projects, but I do not necessarily want to do the same. I also stitch with an end result in mind…usually a decoration piece for my house…so I pick projects with that consideration. An idea for the “Tumbleweeds “ piece….It would look stunning on the back of a western jacket or vest…on the front stitch a few motifs like cactus to complete the outfit. Anyways, Glad you didn’t put it in the reject pile as it is adorable.

It doesn't fit my decor either but I don't care and will hang it anyway because it makes me think of our family trips yo Montana, Wyoming etc and reminds me of my childhood-I wanted to be a cowgirl!😂 You're an amazing stitcher.

I'm keeping my cross stitch projects that I lose interest in or something. I'm cutting the piece off the linen and hand sew it to a larger piece of fabric, add other cross stitch ufo's. Like a UFO sampler.

    You picked the perfect fabric for the new satsuma street piece. I think everyone was stressed and had too much time to think, worry and scroll at the beginning of the pandemic and we all probably started way to many things thinking we would have the time to finish them. Don’t be too hard on yourself. You have done heaps in the last couple of years.

    I love stitching and choose patterns that I like - and when finished, they usually go in a drawer. I do it for the process, not necessarily for decorating in my house. I felt “guilty” for a while, until I decided they were my finished pieces and nobody else cares what I do with them and if I’m okay with them not being displayed, that’s my choice.

    You have a massive amount of stitching wip’s. Sort them as you are happy to do and if there are those you just do not want to work on, that’s likely a sign. So many beauties. Stitching takes a long time. I do counted cross stitch but not on the 36 & 40 count linen. I don’t have the patience for that. Do as you enjoy and decide, as you are, what you want to finish first. Works great. Beautiful projects.

    Good for you for making those decisions. Now you can stitch on what you truly love. I just made a decision on one of my WIPs. I was doing it 2 over 2 on 25 ct and it was going to be ridiculously big. I thought I'd start over doing 1 over 1 then realized nope, don't want to stitch it. And yep, I feel better just like you. Thanks so much for this great WIP parade. I loved it.

  • @pamlacey136

    Maybe the western (retired) project could be used on a project bag, which would be very cute. Of sometimes just finishing a portion of the pattern can be used on a pillow, bag, or stand-up. Just some ideas to think about but having some of these projects on Lakeside Linens definitely would make me want to do something with them. Happy stitching………..

    If you get bored by the pattern as is, how about combining some of the elements you like? You could make the lovely borders and bring other pattern elements in the middle to keep you interested. I guess it's a lot of work but that could be fun! (And reduce your sampler wip haha)

    Your stitching, your rules. That's my opinion! Stitch what you love! I have the early American series kitted up and plan to do it all as one too. I think it will be a start this year. 😊

    I have a mix of amazon bags, fully fabric ones and vinyl front ones but I think I prefer the amazon bags because they are waterproof. Just in case!! I do love displaying my special fabric ones though!

    Helen D once used one of her stitches that she knew she wouldn’t finish and made it into a strawberry. It turned out super cute, she got to say goodbye to a WIP she knew she’d never finish but still enjoy her stitching as it was. I think that would be a good option for your ink circles since you still love it, but aren’t fond of the repetitive stitching. Just a thought. Thanks for sharing!!

    Not sure if anyone already let you know, but the Brenda Gervais’Happy birthday America’ is not a drum finish. You actually wrap the included fabric around a round paper mache box. Hope that will motivate you to finish it lol it’s a very fast and easy finish. As always, Brenda has awesome detailed instructions!

    Really enjoyed your WIP parade. I found your channel this summer and have so enjoyed “getting to know” you, at least your crafting. No shame, no judgement I don’t like to stitch over one or full coverage either. I had a great boss many years ago who said “advice is worth what you paid for it” We all have things hanging around our work baskets that we should probably let go. There are many things in mine…my taste has changed dramatically over the past 8 years. I have been stitching since I was 7 and I hate to admit that was 52 years ago.

    Love your flosstube! What a fun WIP parade! I'm sure if you do decide to stop work on some of your WIPs that another stitcher would likely be glad to take it off your hands and keep it going. I know I would gladly stitch on Sarah Barker. You are the first flosstube I ever found, and I absolutely love watching your videos! You even inspired me to start my own flosstube. Thank you for everything you do for the stitching community. It is greatly appreciated! Hugs!

    Hi! Happy New Year 🎉 I really enjoyed your wip parade. It gave me some ideas about how to evaluate my wips. For Stitcher’s Resolution I say save the part that says “buy more” and make it into a pillow or small frame! You do so much beautiful finishing. Give yourself a pass on drum finishing and pay someone else to do it. My dos pesos. Continue to take good care and enjoy the rest of your vacation. 😘❤️ Rebecca

    I watched your WIP parade last year too. I looked through my own list and I finished more than I started. Woo hoo. I started my list for this year on the first of January. Mine are now broken down into hand sewn and machine sewing. I’m a quilter mostly . I have decided to let go of some that I realised I will never finish and just don’t want to finish , so they are off to my local craft group who have a swap table. Thank you so much for sharing your videos. I find your videos so encouraging. ❤

    I loved your WIP parade. I was surprised to see the size of BBD . I thought they were huge charts so haven’t really ever looked at them close but I loved seeing your WIPS of them and they are very manageable in size so I’m going to dig some out and start them. I have about close to 40 WIPS and am doing WIPGO again this year and going to try and stick with it and clear out these WIPS cause I have a lot of new ones I want to do. I’m wanting to do a long dog for a birthday start but we will see. I enjoyed your video!

    I would recommend doing the Equality Sample. I took Brenda’s advice on doing a tent stitch for the over one and it made it so much better to get through. I love it!😊

    • @elizabethanncanstitch
      @elizabethanncanstitch  Před 7 měsíci

      I tried tent stitch actually on that piece and really didn't like the look on 36 count, me and one on one just aren't ever going to be friends!

    • @julieslyman607
      @julieslyman607 Před 7 měsíci

      @@elizabethanncanstitch I get it. I like the full stitch too but I went down the side to the bottom and worked my way up and the one of one was dreadful but I did too much not to finish at least with the tent stitch. 😀 Do what you enjoy.

    Would love to adopt either the Sarah Barker or Equality Sampler if you ever decide to destash! I loved watching your process for going through your WIPs. I need to sort through mine but luckily I only have a few. Maybe 10? Much quicker decision making process. Enjoy your videos!

    I paused to comment. Life is too short to not stitch what you love. That being said if there is a piece you don’t want to finish and you’ve gotten a corner or motif done, why not call it a finish and make a pincushion or some such. Floss tube has taught me you don’t have to stitch the whole project. 😊 Happy New Year!

  • @sharonwilliams6787

    I enjoy seeing everything you stitch and although you are retiring a few pieces, you do so gracefully. Complementing the designer and colors etc. Stirch what you love. I am excited to see all your crafts. Thanks for sharing your time and talents.

    I loved your WIP parade. It's sad you need to retire some WIPS but it's understandable. I'm still new at stitching and haven't been able to stitch lately, you know life gets in the way. Anyway it's your decision but they will be beautiful when you're done with them. You could make pillows or smalls with some of them.❤ See you next time.

    I also stitch in hand with the sewing method and that just doesn't work with 1x1 because every other stitch wants to slip under. I do love the look of a finished piece that has some detailed 1x1 though so what I have found that works for me is doing 1 thread length in the 1x1 area when I first start stitching for the day and then focus on other areas of the pattern. So far I haven't ended up with only 1x1 left at the end or I'd probably never finish the piece. I WILL complete Consider the Lillies this year, dang it! But then I have to pick up the companion piece and finish that one.
