Very cool stitching journal! May need to "borrow" some of your ideas - especially since I'm so unorganized and forgetful these days. Off to check out some of your other FlossTubes - have a great stitching weekend.
I love your journals. I'm a junk journal girl! Also a planner girl. I am tracking my quilting. And since I just picked up cross stitch again I definitely will do that. I was going to journal my open heart surgery recovery but the first 3 weeks I was just thankful to wake up everyday and participate in the Drs and nurses plans for me. The last 2 weeks I've been home and do manage to make a daily facebook post for friends and family to know my progress. And I have so many diff Dr appts I have managed to put a calendar together for my son and dil so they can get me where I need to be on time. A few more weeks and I should be able to focus on my planner and journals again. TFS yours as it has renewed my interest after these past 5 weeks.
Hi Gypsy Rose! Thanks for stopping by my channel and your kind comments! Wow, sounds like a crazy several weeks you've had! Sending you good thoughts for a speedy recovery. Journaling has been such a blessing to me as well. There is just something about putting pen to paper (or paint, ink and bits of fun scrappy goodness) that is calming and therapeutic. Many blessings to you, Suzette x
I'm fairly new to Flosstube, and I'm catching up with everyone's channels. LOVE your journals! I'm a bullet journaler, and I admit to having a Washi tape problem. (The problem? I don't have nearly enough of it! lol) And I have two Metropolitan fountain pens and LOVE them! I can already tell I'm going to enjoy your videos! Thank you for making them!
I love paper arts as well. So a great idea to do a journal. I've tried to keep a notebook but the idea of a journal is better for me. Strange how a word changes everything. No LNS shops anywhere these days, and threads are so expensive here - I tend to buy off EBay. Lovely video. Thank you for sharing.
Love your journaling style. I have just started journaling my stitching and got some great ideas here! I also love your stitching style and projects - I'm drawn to a lot of the same things. I really enjoy all your videos!
Thank you Ginger! I love keeping a stitching journal and I'm forever going back to reference it. I was hesitant to make videos because I wasn't sure how my style and stitching taste would be received. So happy to know that there are others that have similar likes. Happy stitching! Suzette x
+Vonna Pfeiffer Thanks Vonna...my attempt at keeping life sane. I do love looking back in my stitching journal to see my progress or lack there of! Suzette x
I have been stitching for a about 40 years with many other craft adventures too. About two months ago I found Floss tube which woke up my stitching bug. I was a little confused with some of the terms used WIPs, FPs, FFPs, etc....but Im learning. I have Floss from in the 80's and 90's and will have to look for that chart of old to new colors. New subbie here and I think I might be on your other channel as well, will check TFS💞
Enjoyed your video today! The journal is a grand idea. I cross-stitched back in the 80's and 90's, but have decided to get back into it now in my 80's. Oh well as long as I can see it will be fun. I don't have a lot of time so I'd better get started and I will use your idea of journaling. Thanks again
Hello Joanne and welcome to my channel! So happy that you like my stitching journal idea. I really started it because I couldn't remember some of the particulars of the pieces I had stitched. Now I really enjoy keeping track of it all. Welcome back to stitching too. It's such a lovely hobby for everyone from young to young at heart! Much stitching love, Suzette
Thank you for sharing this. I've actually been wanting to start something similar to document all my stitchy stuff, only in a little different format. I really like all your ideas & how you've organized yours.
Great video! I keep a journal but not as fancy as yours. It's got all the info for each project in but no pictures. Yours is fab thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks Davina! I must admit that I've been very lacking lately with putting more photos in mine. I love looking back in mine though, I thinks it's a good reference tool. Happy Stitching, Suzette x
I absolutely love your journals!! I found a book at the local library sale the other day - The Country Diary of An English Lady by Edith Holden - it is a copy of her original entries and drawings - it reminds me in a way of yours :)
What a super find!! I love reading old journals/diaries. That sounds a bit creepy, I hope you know what I mean! LOL But it's like a peek into the past. I'm in the process of gathering items for my 2017 stitching journal and can't wait to start putting it together. Happy stitching, Suzette x
Hi Elizabeth and welcome to my channel! I bought those a few years ago from a paper crafting company called Maya Road. Not sure if they are still available but may be worth a google search. Oh and the scissors needle minder is one that I made from a card of scissor charms that I found at Michaels (again, a few years back). I'm sure I've seen something similar at JoAnns and Hobby Lobby. Happy stitching, Suzette x

I just found you so will be binging on your videos!! Is that a dress form paper clip?? ADORABLE!! Can you tell me where you found it?

Primitive Stitcher Thanks!!
Fantastic journal and Midori Suzette. You have lovely taste. Did you make the quilt you show in this video ? Ali.
Thanks Ali! I did make it, but that one is just a small table runner. Quilting is a close second love to cross stitching. Suzette x
I hope you’re well and please just know I miss your videos. And you.
Just found your channel- welcome aboard :)
