If you need a shoulder… I found flosstube from sitting in VA waiting rooms for hours upon hours. My husband was medically discharged in 2014 and I was driving an hour to San Bernardino, San Diego all the time. One rainy day after 4 hours in a VA waiting room, I left to find a craft store and get a cross stitch kit. Anything to keep my mind from going crazy… that’s how I found flosstube… I had to do a French Knot and I forgot; the instructions weren’t helping. I Googled it and just like that… I went down the rabbit hole. I remember watching your channel years ago… Anyways, after sitting in waiting rooms for 3 eye surgeries, 2 back surgeries and endless brain scans… I know what you are going through.
I'm late to watch and comment, but wow, what a fabulous haul of linen! The Smith Sampler is one I definitely want to see on my walls but I've been terrible about making progress on it, despite launching a SAL with assignments😢.
Happy to see you back I love all the things especially your Haul :) I have a notepad taking notes of those I want to put on my wish list thank you for sharing and happy stitching
I must be one of those that purchased the bag and folio that you made for yourself. ❤ I absolutely love your items. I have the bag to my mom for Mother’s Day and she doesn’t even want to use it because it’s too pretty. 🤣 she is using it but only her special projects are worthy enough to go in it.
First time viewing your Flosstube and just started getting your club folios--they are AMAZING! I hope your husband gets some answers soon and I hope he feels better soon. Where can I find more information on Stitch Camp for 2025? Also, are you using the Annie's Keeper's floss drops? I am so curious about those. Keep up the great work and happy stitching!
Rika, you might want to see if your husband’s falling is due to Orthostatic Hypotension. It is when the blood pressure changes when changing position from lying down to sitting up and then standing. I wish you luck. It can be frightening.
Rika I'm so sorry to hear about your hubby's medical issues! My husband takes two different blood pressure meds and they had to play with the dosages for him. It sounds like your husband might be sensitive to the meds and maybe needs a lower dosage? I hope it gets figured out soon! This is the time for you two to be having fun and planning trips ❤
New to your video. WOW you know how to shop - such great things you bought. I love your bags that you make . So sorry to hear about your husband. Hope everything goes well. 🌻
What a great video. I love, love, love your patchwork project bags with the square bottom. I so enjoyed you haul and actually have many of them too! But you still managed to entice me with a few new ones I haven’t seen before. Hugs and blessings on your coming week!
So fun to have found your flosstube! Watch Crosshatch Quilts, she stitches in hand as I do as well. She demonstrates her method and it's very understandable. Love your bags as well. Take care.
This is my first time watching your channel. Jessica recommended you. Your recently acquired kits is AMAZING!!! Wow I was thinking girl u must have a BIG wall😂 I LOVE the kit you got, Jenny’s Bean Garden!! When u start that one I’m hoping u will SAL it!! I would love to see other stitchers work on it!! Keep stitching !! Love to see more of your videos😊
So much fun looking at your WIPs and haul!! Your patchwork project bags are beautiful and I do hope you are able to introduce them for purchase next year!
Great haul! So enabling🙂 I thought you might like to know that, since you will be in DC, the DAR Museum has a special exhibit regarding stitching-antique samplers, clothing and quilts. The catalog is also available. Enjoy!
Rika’s back! Yeah! 🎉 What an amazing haul. It’s like you went to Vegas first, won big at the black jack table, then went cross stitch shopping! 😅😂🎉 Lucky girl! Everything you bought is so beautiful! Happy birthday! Hope hubs is on the mend soon and 100% again. Happy stitching dear stitchy friend.
A friend of mine was telling me her husband was falling and his dr at the va said it was his medication as well. I guess after a certain age he was no longer supposed to be on that medication. I want to say it was his blood pressure medication too.
So glad to see you back on flosstube. Sending prayers for Don and for the drs to figure out what is going on. i hope you are enjoying your new Florida home. Look forward to seeing you at Stitch Florida! 🥰🥰
WOW! You have a lifetime of stitching goodness. You may never have to buy another thing!😂 I enjoyed your flosstube, never saw soooo much at one time. I know those girls at Country Sampler were loving you!! Thank you for sharing with us. This was my first visit!😊
