    The loss of our 4 legged family is never easy. Please know there are lots of us thinking and praying for you. Not only for your loss but also for your health. May you have a complete recovery from what is happening to you. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Your channel is about the only channel I make sure I don’t miss.

    Laura, your works in progress are beautiful!! I love when you see squirrels!!
    Brenda, so sorry to hear you lost your fur baby, that is so hard!💕
    I know you said you do not stitch when you are going through a hard time but, I challenge you to pick up your needle and with each pass through the fabric, picture the stitch healing you. Breath deep, enjoy the motion and the feel of every stitch. I was taught how to stitch when I was in a dark place after losing my mom at the age of 16. Since then it has always been my therapy and has helped heal me through many trials in life.i am going to pray it does the same for you!
    Liz and I will be praying for the Lords comfort, healing and grace to overflow in you!!!!
    Much love,
    Deb&Liz

    Brenda and Laura- Even though I have never met you both, you inspire me to create and to be a better person. Your videos have helped inspire me through some very tough times during the last year and a half. The way you both light up at each other's work and projects is something truly special in the cross stitch community, but any community. I never thought there were other people out there that enjoyed cross stitching as much as I did, until I found "flosstube"! Your channel is absolutely my favorite.
    I hope Brenda gets through this time safe and sound.
    Loosing a kitty (or any pet) is so hard- they ARE you're family. I can't imagine being sick and also loosing a kitty.
    Sending you many positive vibes because I need to see more of your beautiful finished work.

    Brenda, my heart aches for you on the loss of your fur baby. Sending healing prayers and energy for you. I visited Illinois this past weekend from Texas and enjoyed a visit to the Inspired Needle. I don't have a very close LNS, so it was nice to get in to a store with so many patterns, so much fabric and just so much!

  • @kerynrivett9351

    May I start by saying I understood everything Mike said - but, I am from Melbourne! 😂. Very funny.
    Brenda, darling, my heart goes out to you - life can stink sometimes. Firstly I’m sorry for the loss of your fur-baby, big hugs. Now, I don’t know what’s happening, but I can tell you - when I started having radiation I stitched like crazy. Four and a half years ago I had uterine cancer and when they opened me up it was also cervical cancer - I was cut from naval to groin and then it healed wrong and I ended up attached to a vac pump for five months (I carried it everywhere and had to sleep with it) with nurses coming to my home every day. During that time I also had to have radiation which makes you really tired. But, during my month in hospital I couldn’t stitch, but as soon as I got home and I was ordered to rest I started to stitch like crazy. In August I’m praying it will be my last visit to Peter Macs, the cancer hospital, and I’ll be told I’m in remission. My hubby was a soldier (my Anzac man) and then a gravedigger - then he suddenly got sick. His kidneys collapsed, he was on dialysis for almost six years, he then got a kidney transplant, then he got endocarditis which resulted in him having to have two mechanical heart valves (he was on life support in a coma). He’s medically retired now at 62 and is enjoying life. The love of our family, friends and our Faith got us through. The 23rd Psalm is important to me, on my first radiation session as I laid there not allowed to move the “fight or flight” panic set in and the only thing I could think of was The 23rd Psalm. Maybe it will help you? You are in my prayers, sweet lady ... we are Facebook friends, so if anything resonates with you and you need a yack, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
    One day I hope you both come over to visit The Crewel Gobelin - I will drive up to Sydney to take you out to lunch! Or, better yet, visit Melbourne, too - I live on the gorgeous Mornington Peninsula.
    So, to finish ... Father God, look upon Brenda with mercy, lay Your healing hand upon her to restore her to full health again. Comfort her in her suffering, guide the hands of the medical practitioners in their treatment and bring strength to those supporting her. Lord, lift her up in this blessing. I pray this in your awesome name. Amen.

    For my money, y’all could make a living providing virtual consults, especially with floss toss on fabrics since many folks either can’t get to or don’t have an LNS - myself included here in Atlanta. There may be a business plan there...💡 Thank you both for sharing your stitching and your beautiful friendship. We would all be uninspired without Brenda & Laura.

    Brenda, I am so sorry you lost your little buddy. He was so special and I understand your heartbreak. Also, please know that I will be sending prayers for you during this time of dealing with your health issues. Hoping you can find some comfort in your stitching but completely know what you mean about not feeling like stitching right now. A couple of years ago, I had colon cancer and had the same feeling about not having the desire to be sewing. I am so glad that I discovered Flosstube in 2020 and got back to cross stitching after a 15 year absence. I have you and Laura and Deb and Liz of Country Stitchers for getting me hooked. I joined in on the BBD this weekend and look forward to working on a BBD each month. Looking forward to seeing you all in a couple of weeks❤️🧵🪡❤️

That was some years ago now but last week we had to let our cat who was 5 years old go. So know how you will be missing yours. Love the kit you received Laura and I’m in the Circle of Friends club with The Silver Needle so now have the same one as Brenda. I’ve enjoyed stitching my BBD of For the birds #3 She Sights a Bird,which has been a WIP for me. Blessings and happy stitching ladies.

    Lots of hugs and prayers for Brenda for both her loss and for her health issues. Remember the power of positive thinking! Brenda, I'm the same as you -- when I'm super stressed, I can't do my crafts. In fact, that's how I got back into stitching again last year -- I couldn't knit. So I started stitching again and it felt so good and was perfect for the stress. So I understand how you are feeling about that, but I'm sorry you are so stressed. Everyone out here is thinking of you and lifting you up.

    Brenda my heart goes out to you. I love ❤️ my pets so much and can’t imagine being with out them. Right now I’m battling COVID-19 and have been in the hospital for 2 weeks. I truly miss my pets and my family. It looks like I will be here at least until Mother’s Day and maybe longer. I do not have the energy to stitching but I hope it gets better. You are in my prayers and I love ❤️ ya!!

    Sending prayers to Brenda, thinking of you and hoping you are doing better. Thank you both for the Blackbird weekends, I am inspired by all the possibility. Laura thank you for the comment to me about where to start when considering a sampler and linen, I will keep you posted on my journey. Loved the haul, it's enabling, but such fun. Great use of the index cards too throughout the video. Stay well and happy stitching

    I always view your videos when I know I won’t be interrupted, hence my late response. Brenda, you are in all of my prayers and know that you have friends worldwide who care about you and are praying for a speedy recovery. I also know that our pets are a part of our family and am so sorry to learn about your kitty. I’m certain you gave him loads of love for all 17 years. Laura, everything you showed was simply beautiful! I enjoy your videos so much and always look forward to the Sunday I know I’ll be seeing the two of you!

    It is so hard when are pets pass on, your right never ready for it. Sending positive thoughts on your health
    issues. I enjoyed the NEW cue card system, lol! The haul was fabulous. I had ordered Mildreds Garden for my
    BBD stitch in honor of my mom whos name was Mildred ( a gardener she was not) but she would have loved the house,
    rats I didn't have all the threads so maybe in June. I will continue on with A Bit of Spring . See you two in two weeks
    have great stitching time!

    I am so sorry, Brenda. You will be in my prayers. Losing a pet is so incredibly painful. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you both. We’ve never met, but I consider you friends. Thank you for the BBD SAL. I worked on my nemesis, Christmas Garden this weekend. I’m doing it 2 over 2 on 37. Very frustrating, but I’m doing it. Have a good couple of weeks. Hopefully, your health issues will be resolved. God bless you, Ladies. 💕

    Brenda, I am so sorry that you lost your precious Howard; I have also lost cats so I totally understand your grief. I will be praying for you that your health issues are resolved quickly and that you are back to feeling good and wanting to stitch; you have so many praying for you, and we all love you and care about what happens to you. As always, I love your videos and have watched this one several times before commenting. I was glad to see some smiles on Brenda’s face from things that Laura said; the two of you are so much fun to watch. Blessings, prayers, and hugs to you both.............

    Enjoyed all the pretty stitching. I am a stitching addict. My stash is very large and I want to stitch all now! I am happily stitching a monochrome Quaker with Sulky. I really like the thread. Something so satisfying.
    Have a nice couple of weeks.

    Hello ladies!!! Thankyou for another wonderful episode! Dear Brenda, I'm so sorry to hear about your ill-health. I'm not a 'pray-er' as such, but I'm sending all my best wishes, love and hope to you from here in Liverpool, all the way across the Atlantic, for an easy and speedy recovery and I'm sure you'll be back to stitching at your usual pace, in no time!! So sad to hear about Howard's passing. He's such a beautiful boy and I'll remember him fondly from the tiny snippets of him we got to see in the videos. I lost a furry friend a few years ago, who had also been with me for 17 years. Two very difficult things to work through, I know, but know that you have a community here who loves you dearly and will be with you every step of the way, good or bad. The blackbird SAL weekend just goes to show how we can all pull together and support. There's so many amazing projects that I literally can't keep up with the speed of people's posts on Instagram! Many, many beautiful pieces in the works!! Much love to you both! See you in two weeks!!! Hugs!!

    I always look so forward to seeing you both. I am so sorry, Brenda, that you have been dealing with difficult things. It hurts so bad when we lose one of the four-legged furry family members. You are most definitely correct. We are never ready, and they are just as much part of the family as anyone. I do hope that things get better healthwise, too. I will most definitely keep you in my prayers. Both you and Laura are so blessed to have each other. It is a beautiful friendship to watch as you interact and share you love of stitching. I hope that you will both be well and happily stitching along daily! You are both very special ladies.
