Flosstube + Hi, haven't been on in ages!
Hi, I see some familiar names are still around; I haven't been on this site in about a year I guess, so I'm not sure if anyone remembers me or not, but hello again! I had taken on a job that took up most of my time, and became ridiculous (I wasn't getting paid for working monumental overtime, etc) but have left there now and finally have some time for hobbies again.

I was wondering if anyone here was into watching FlossTube videos on YouTube? They seem to be the new thing for cross stitchers and one of my friends has started her own FlossTube series. I used to do video reviews and how-tos on YouTube many years ago (haven't made a new vid in maybe five years now) but it has me curious and I'm considering starting up my own FlossTube series. If any of you watch - what kinds of things do you like to see in videos? Or even if you don't, what would you LIKE to see or want to see, that would get you watching someone?

Thanks guys!! <3

p.s. - I've attached a pic of my current work in progress. It's from Cross Stitch World magazine and is almost done now :D

Welcome back and yes I do remember you even from down here in NZ. Your WIP looks very pretty and will be great to see it when you have finished it.

Love the birds in your WIP ... super cute! I have never heard of FlossTube, but I don't watch much YouTube unless I'm researching a karate kata I have to learn. :)

Hey everyone and thanks for the compliments :D

The design is Welcome Neighbour from issue 245 of World of Cross Stitching. I've attached a more recent photo - had to get it off of my phone and onto the computer! It's worked up really quickly and has been a perfect spring project. I usually do really large, sort of neutral coloured projects with lots of confetti stitching so this has been a really nice change of pace for me, and such a happy project to work on! I think the colours of my needlework sometimes has a real effect on my mood! I spent several months of the winter stitching Woodland Owl (got the kit here!) and the greys and browns were just so depressing by the end, even if the finished project is beautiful.

Hi craftydivakat! I watch Floss Tube regularly! It is a wonderful place to be, but very addictive!! It also makes you want to stitch nonstop and buy lots of patterns! I like to see the progress people are doing on all of their stitchy projects. You get to see new patterns and flosses that people buy (its called haul). I am very excited to see that there are so many people out there cross stitching. It's so crazy now! Love it! It's funny to see how much you have in common with the people making these videos! Its like having friends all over the country and in other countries too! It has opened new doors for me for sure! I am now stitching on hand dyed linen and using specialty threads that are just gorgeous. Highly recommend! I will watch your channel! Have fun! I love your birdhouse project...so cute!
