My grandson used to call the groundhog “punch tony Phil”😅
I'm from NW Florida. Today its 75° today and 23° tonight. This is why we are always sick. Lol.Happy stitching.
Luv,luv,luv. You guys❤❤❤❤❤❤
I also enjoy you girls floss tube It brightens my day
I want to share what I doing this year I bought 15 drawer organizer to be more organized
I took my whips divided in 7 drawers. Then took 7 tickets in a cup Every Sunday morning draw a new number put under cup So far 1st week project was 2 years old 2nd week was a 3 year old project now 3rd week project is Prairie Schooler Santa So far I am happy how this is going because make working on my old whips When I get through all 7 drawers. Start all over It helps not know what I be working on. Keep it up Good job 😊
So much fun!! I laughed a lot. Especially about the groundhog. Love watching you and having a good time on Saturday or Sunday. You’re one of my favorite flosstube channels. The fun, the laughs and joy you bring is great! We need you during these trying times.
Love how Sheila doesn't leave her house unless she is cruising….😂. Great stitching by both of you.
Hello great floss tube. I love how enjoyable you make your videos. I live in New England ,RI ?and we are expected 13-20 inches of snow today thru tomorrow. So I have Beef Stew on in the crock pot and I am stitching on Elegant Lace while enjoying your floss tube. I may have gone a little rogue on the elegant lace. I just finished all of page one of the full crosses. Now I will start with the half stitches! Like Sheila I had a hard time getting started once I got started and got in the flow I couldn’t stop. I did start with doing both, some of the full and some half cross stitches but for me, I found it to be confusing so that’s why I’m doing it the way that I am. It does flow very nicely when you’re just doing all the full stitches first.
I will post a picture in the Facebook page later. And I missed Joe today.😂
A great day to catch up on Sunshine Stitchers and Aurora Cabin! Hoping to finish everything below the house today
Yes! Hard to drink just plain water all day. Sometimes I mix half/half with juice. My grandson loves it and we call it my juicy water. It’s warming up in MN, up to -1 at 1 pm. I haven’t gone anywhere since last Wednesday. Surprise, surprise! I just happen to be stitching on a block party by HoD —> 25th, because today is the 25th so time for a Christmas stitch. Just finishing up the side band right now. I might have to get the Meow design because I have two cats. EJ – I love your choice of fabric for the Elegant Lace SAL! Thanks for the company while I stitched today!
Great video! Shelia…could you please link the plastic tabs you put on your WDW cards? Thanks
Love, love, love your videos! You have me laughing every episode. I bet Sheila's pick for EJ will be the project that is all stitched but just needs the buttons stitched on them.
I succumbed and bought Santa and Rudolph too, the last time I was at the Cupboard before Christmas!🤣
Enjoyed the great stitching!
EJ with glasses! 😊 My GRMANAT is for Grandma Nat (short for Nathalie). I’ve been trying to drink more water and sometimes with lemon. I don’t get out a lot either which my kids don’t understand how I can stay home and stitch or sew so much. With this bitter cold weather is very easy! Stitching on corduroy???? No. 🤦♀️
Great stitching
Beautiful WIPs EJ!
Beautiful WIPs Shelia!!
OMG 2 drinking challenges!?!? This should be fun🤣
💜💜💜
I believe the stitch that has the X and then the rhombus/diamond over top is a rice stitch? Only reason I think that is because I just watched a video by Audrey (Stitch Stitch Bead) on them! 😊
I bet Garden of Zig is under your copier cover – left from when you copied it.
Another great video friends. I loved Shelia’s face when EJ started with the reasons why she forgot something. Hilarious. Love your projects and the inspiration. I just recorded my latest flosstube and I appreciate the love and support. ❤❤❤
Your wips of the week are looking so great ladies. Thank you for sharing another fun video with your usual lively conversation. You've really helped to keep me company because I broke my foot in November and am just now allowed to start moving away from using my air boot and crutches, so soon it will be time for me to dig my car and parking space out from the snow and actually venture out. I'm looking forward to the groundhog telling us that winter is almost over.
Hi Ladies! Keep on smiling! Can you also share Shirley’s flosstube!
Hi ladies, wondering if you could give me some direction: I’m spending a week with my sister in Estero in February. Any LNS’s I should make a day trip to to spend $$ that are really just a “day trip “? BTW, Welcome Stitchery is my LNS, so I don’t REALLY need to spend anything 😊 but you know us stitchers…
