As adults, we don’t treat ourselves enough. It’s bringing such joy to your day to open each item, so just enjoy it. I purchased two advent boxes this year. One is quilting and one is stitching. I get giddy when I sit down each morning to open that day’s gift!
Playing catch up with flossmas and I loved your excitement with your well deserved advent boxes and seeing the contents! Thanks for sharing them. I laughed about you saying not let’s bother wrapping the presents with your other half, most of the time we can’t even find the things we bought for each other 😂 Enjoy every single package ❤ I’m stitching on the Stacy Nash gingerbread house for the jingle ball class
I am so glad you are doing flossmas this year, super exciting! This Christmas season, I will be stitching the historical sampler designs from their advent 2023 (there were 3 in last year), since I didn't get to them.
So nice to see your face light up with the opening of your goodies❤️. I will be stitching on the Soed Idee Advent Calendar these coming weeks. Enjoy your stitching!!🥰
Can’t wait to see your Flossmas videos! I am stitching on The Grinch by the cross stitch studio starting on 2nd and then on the 13th, I am stitching on Christmas Donkey by Bothy Threads. Never feel guilty for what you chose to spend your money on! It’s your money, no one else’s business. You should feel proud that your business is doing so well that you have been able to buy these advent calendars from the profit! 👠👠
You shouldn’t feel guilty about having a treat. You’re worth it. Loved seeing all of your adventures calendar goodies. Over the festive season I will be stitching on The Sorceress by Joan Elliott. I am hoping for a finish early in 2025 🎄🎅
Hey Laura! Happy flossmas!! In December I will be stitching on Barbara Ana's Christmas cat as well as any charts I get in my Historical Sampler Company advent box plus I have a couple of new starts planned! Happy stitching!
I’m so happy to find your channel! I have finished my holiday stitching and will be starting the Quaker Flag US. It is for a gift, but probably for next Christmas 😂.
Love your flosstube and am excited for flossmas! You got some lovely advent boxes and I think that’s wonderful. Enjoy every one of them. I’m stitching Wee Santa 2023, Prairie Schooler Winter Woods and Joy and Good Cheer by Brenda Gervais. Nit sure I’ll get them finished before Christmas this year but they will be cute when they are done lol Suzette
Oh wow, love the advent calendars. I just recently started stitching again after several years of taking a break. I have never done an advent stitch calendar so it will definitely be on my list for next year. I am currently stitching, A Stitcher's Garden by Tiny Modernist. I haven't started any Christmas patterns yet, too many to choose from. Will probably just start with some ornaments. Love your enthusiasm for stitching. Can't wait to see the rest of the calendars daily surprises.
Ooo these boxes look like they're gonna be a blast I especially love the cookie pattern!! What DONT i want to stitch?!?! Right now I am working on a prairie schooler snowman, but I have several other starts I want to get to in the coming days... a lindy stitches and an artsy housewife among quite a few others- it's startmas for me for sure!! My husband and I do the same for Christmas...I still shop for him even tho he knows what it will b, but w my gifts it's easier to just order em and hand em over to wrap cuz cross stitch stuff is like 🤯 to him 😂😂 Can't wait to see what the next day brings for ur flossmas! Happy stitching 🐈⬛🪡❤️
No need to apologise for your Advent calendars. I'm going to enjoy watching you open them. I'm trying to finish the MFE Reaching Skywards 2023 SAL before the end of December. See you soon, best wishes from 🇮🇪
I'm currently stitching my first ever mill Hill kit, I have the snowman snow globe that I bought at the Harrogate knitting and stitching show. It's also my first time beading and so far I'm loving it!
I’m stitching on last years Historical Sampler Co advent sewalong, hoping to finish by the 25th! I’ve been using the box from their advent calendar to keep all my cross stitch patterns in too, it works well. Lovely vlogmas, looking forward to the rest x
Not a seasonal stitcher, not a Christmas stitcher… and yet, Primrose Cottage got me, so I’ll be stitching on their Cocoa Quaker because that’s who I am now?!? Love the festive headwear!
Looking forward to yet another flossmas to watch. I've decided on 3 christmas wips and a new christmas stitch for focus on this month. Hoping some seasonal stitching will help get my stitchy mojo back as it's been lacking lately. Today I plan to carry on with The Holiday from GeckoRouge
Hey lovely. Looking forward to your flossmas. I'm stitching on a Coffee Baby Yoda for my hubby. Not very seasonal! 😂 And also 2 SALs - one is the Frost Dragon SAL, which is at least snowy! ❄️
Oh my goodness love the advent calendar’s and I’m now gutted I didn’t go for the Historical Sampler one. That gingerbread house 🥰. I’m about the start this years nutcracker by Shannon Christine having put away Christmas Parade by Cottage Garden Samplings for a while. Looking forward to more flosstube fun! ❤
Happy Flossmas! 🥳 I’ll be stitching the Bothy threads Woodland Wreath (faaaar too much metallic backstitch 😵🤣) and the climbing goat designs Christmas lights and baubles stitchalong 🙂
Enjoy your advents and totally agree with you. I going to be stitching on a Dimensions Christmas ornaments that I've been trying to finish for the last 2 years. I'm not a fan of stitching on the plastic canvas and as I still have another ornament to do, I'm thinking of just doing it on some Aida instead. Look forward to seeing what you will working on this month. Happy stitching from Australia.💜🪡🧵
Love your comment about treating ourselves, so true once a parent we always worry about spoiling our children. We should treat ourselves more often 😂❤ I'm doing some secret stitching to make some Christmas coasters. Also working on Cotton and Twine sub boxes October and November have some beautiful patterns. Have so many other things I'd like to do but don't think I have enough time 😢😂. So like you I might have to pop some of my Historical Sampler Advent patterns into stash for next year.
I loved watching you open your goodies and can't wait to see what you get for day 2! I'll be stitching on Cabin in the Woods by Flossabilities which will be a sal for stitchy Sally's birthday. I also hope to do a bit more on Stitch Into Christmas by Caterpillar Cross Stitch, which I think I started about 2 years ago, so it would be good to get more progress on that!
I am stitching ‘12 days of Christmas’ patterns from the World of Cross Stitching magazine a couple of years ago, and also a Heritage Crafts pattern from the ‘William’ series, as it’s now a yearly tradition to stitch a new one for our house every Christmas (the bear looks just like my daughter’s favourite teddy bear).
I just started Joy and Good Cheer by Brenda Gervais today! I love your excitement about the advents. Don't feel bad.....I have 4 yarny advents and 1 stitchy one 🤭
Don't apologise for treating yourself. You work blooming hard over the year, so you deserve the treats. I have to finish the Historical Samplers Robin Patchwork SAL, and then I intend two new starts, Durene Jones' snow globes and Catkin and Lillie's Cosy Patchwork Christmas Tree, the large and the small (the small version is a free pattern for being subscribed to her Patreon. Although I am very tempted to also get the Winter Essentials after sering yours, oh and the Santa you are working on 🙈🌲☺️
Love flossmas videos so another to add to my list I’m stitching on A Year of Silhouettes by Joan Ellliott using mostly black with pops of colour as suggested by Colorado Cross Stitcher, this was my 70th birthday start in November so next up December and hopefully keep up each month 🤞
