You really said go big or go home with that new year new start! Still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor! I cannot wait to see that come to life. 🖤
Black roses will be stunning beaded! It's the first time I've seen this piece -eek I think I might have to treat myself. It's really pretty. You have some amazing projects on the go 😍
Aww thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've been eyeing the piece since it came out I think at the end of summer so I've had a lot of time to think and plan :)
Hi Andrew and Winston! Always so glad to see you both! All I can say is WOW on Black Roses….what a wonderful project! Happy to see Saga! Your stitching is perfection! ❤
Entirely beading the roses is a fabulous idea it is going to look fantastic when you are done. I believe the purple beads that change color in the light have an iris finish on them that gives them the iridescence to the color.
Andrew…I was feeling a bit stressed….your videos are a perfect remedy. Thank you. Yes…a fully beaded piece…I will join you but on a smaller example. 🦉❤️
I had to listen to that twice. All beads for Black Rose is phenomenal and it’s going to be beyond amazing. I look forward to seeing it emerge as the months go by. Excellent plan! Lots of great, very big stitches to keep you out of trouble this year!
haha! I hope it turns out as I hope and so far I really do enjoy the process! Oh my I have so many big projects to keep me out of trouble for lifetimes haha. Thanks for watching Sarah :)
Let me just pick my jaw up off the floor … 😮 you surprised me, ALL BEADS! I love it. WOW oh wow I’m excited to watch that one grow. And let’s get on the rally train for a Pixel Dragon finish!! I would love to see it in real life, as you were saying, I bet it’s amazing to look at. It was nice to catch up and good luck with the Bake Off 😊
Thank you! haha. I'm hoping I didn't bite off more than I can chew. But I do really enjoy beading! I think it will be lovely eventually and I'm in no hurry :). YES for the rally train for pixel dragon. I've gotta have this done in the year of the dragon ha.
3000 stitches! way to go. I been working on HAED candy shoppe by Aimee Stewart got to 3300 stitches in 5 days. This was my new start and I wanted to get a head start on it.
Thank you for the video. I love that you are beading a whole project. I beaded so many lace bobbins with the Delia bead I enjoyed it at the time. Your other is so beautiful I always enjoy seeing what you will do next,
That beading piece will be stunning. I hope you put it in a show when it's finished. Your stitching is beautiful, and I have no doubt that you'll take every prize available.
Wow the all beads project will be stunning, but I don’t envy you. I struggle with beads so that many would drive me nuts. Good luck and thank you for sharing your art!
I was a British Baking show fail! I just couldn't keep up last year but I could probably do it now. Maybe I should watch it again!? LOL The fully beaded project is a huge challenge... can't wait to see how it progresses! One of my 2025 goals is to start a HAED...looks like so much fun!
The British Baking Show is a good one to binge! :). I'm so excited to watch the finale and see who the winner is! It will be a massive challenge, but has me excited! Ooh a HAED would be great to start in 2025!
Good luck with the beeding! I like beeding too, just not that much. I have a free chart from Owl Forest Embroidery. It is 9 polar bears wearing Nordic coloured sweaters. It is fun to stitch! I also have the chart of brown bears with red sweaters.
Hi Andrew, I hope you and your partner enjoy all of 2025. I enjoyed your daily Christmas stitching. Steady and careful with that amount of beading, look forward to your progress on this. 😊
Hi Andrew and Winston! Winston looked like he wanted all of your love and attention today. He is so cute 🥰. I just love your Saga piece, can’t wait to see how much more you get finished and hear the next story. Your Black Rose by Modern Folk is going to be epic being stitched with all beads. I don’t think I would be able or have the patience to do a piece that size in all beads. When you held it further back you could see the purple rose. Absolutely beautiful ❤. After seeing the picture of the pattern, I think I need to go purchase it. Did you buy from Evertote or some other place? Looking forward to your next FlossTube ❤❤❤❤❤
Winston definitely wanted all the love today. His tummy has been hurting so I think he just wanted attention :). Aww thank you! I'm really enjoying the beads, but yes it will take a long long time and will take a lot of patience ha. The pattern is from Owl Forest Embroidery, but you can purchase on their site as a digital download :). Hope that helps!
Beautiful stitching! I love the idea of using beads for your new start. My jaw dropped when you said your plans for that piece. It's a stunning design! On the piece, I couldn't quite tell the difference in beads, but when you held the bags up, it was very obvious. This will be fun to see your progress on. Thank you for the video! Have a beautiful day!
Aww thank you so much! I'm very excited about that piece. It's so hard to capture on camera in the video so I apologize, but when the light hits it a certain way it's really beautiful to see the purple come through!
I think it would be cool to stitch a project in all beads, but I don't think I could do it with such a large piece. I look forward to seeing your progress as you work on it. I'm also working on the winter mermaid right now, but I started with her tail (I show it in my WIP parade, if you want to see my progress).
Yes, I will definitely have to be patient with all those beads, but I'm excited :). Ooh I'll check it out! I love her tail and can't wait to get down to that part :)
Wonderful winter works!!!! And may I say I know right ! Dace man’s show stopper was just amazing! His and Jess from cross stitch Jess her fully beaded piece was stunning as well . Check hers out. So I fully look forward to seeing your project as it develops 😊 (lol I have been adding beads to everything !!!!!!)
@@therunnerstitcher lol yes they are 😊. Jess showed it in an episode I believe before flossmas, not certain but not to long ago. Thanks for sharing the stitching owl, you were right her owl finish was mind blowing! Have you seen in stitches with ebony? her lion… let me tell you I thought it was a photo! Your TH-cam is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing your talent😊
Beads!!! Omg, bravo! Ok, here's the deal,when i finish Lily of the Woods, it's going back to you for beading! What ? You are the specialist😅. just kidding 😊. Good for you Andrew, i can't wait to see the progress👏👏👏👏
Good for you on all that beading. As a retired professional seamstress I specialized in wedding dresses (uh, that is where the money is) & did my fair share of beading. Question: When you bead, do you use a "beading" needle or an embroidery needle? I did a lot of pearls, which were bigger than most beads & found that for the pearls, the beading needle was too weak. Good luck & it will be a masterpiece.
Aww thank you so much! I'm loving it so far and really don't want to put pressure on myself to finish, just pick it up when I want to bead! I am using a beading needle for the small beads :)
Happy New Year Andrew! Love seeing your Black Roses piece, it's going to be stunning! I am interested in doing the Great British Bake Off SAL type of thing but am wondering how do I find more information about this? Any help or references would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Happy New Year! Thank you so much. The Bake Off Challenge was started by Jessie Marie Does stuff and she's got the information on her instagram as well as a bit about it on her flosstube. I hope that helps!
Your so hold with your goals! Really like all your projects. Your stamped cross stitch of the lighthouse is that’s 14 count or 11count and what brand is it? Looks like a good project for traveling or around my grandchildren. Thank you!
I do love goals and getting them completed :). The Lighthouse is 14 count. It doesn't really have a brand unfortunately but I think there's some stamped ones on amazon. This one I bought on a site called tapestry market a few years ago
Andrew, when you do the skin (one over one) doesn't that throw off the count when you need to go back to other areas of the design of one thread over two linen threads?
So when I do one over one for the skin, it basically means I do 4 mini stitches for everyone 1 stitch on the pattern. That way it doesn't throw off the rest of the pattern, if that makes sense!
Maybe now is the time to pick one! haha. I hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew, but I really enjoy beading and I'm excited to see where it goes!
Black Roses is going to be amazing in beads! That's going to be so much fun to see you bring to life!
I hope so! I'm just enjoying it and putting no pressure on myself for a timeline, but I really do think it will be fun!
The beaded piece is going to be marvelous, Andrew! I love Delica beads. Thank you for keeping me company this afternoon.
Thank you Sarah! I'm excited for it even if it will take a long time!
You really said go big or go home with that new year new start! Still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor! I cannot wait to see that come to life. 🖤
I'm a bit in awe of your all bead project - it's going to be so beautiful!
Aww thank you! it'll be a learning experience for sure. We will see how it goes!
Black roses will be stunning beaded! It's the first time I've seen this piece -eek I think I might have to treat myself. It's really pretty. You have some amazing projects on the go 😍
Aww thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've been eyeing the piece since it came out I think at the end of summer so I've had a lot of time to think and plan :)
Hi Andrew and Winston! Always so glad to see you both! All I can say is WOW on Black Roses….what a wonderful project! Happy to see Saga! Your stitching is perfection! ❤
Thanks so much! I'm excited to see how Black Roses turns out in the long run haha. Happy stitching!
Your beading project is going to be absolutely fantastic when it’s done!
Thank you so much! I'm really enjoying working on it even though I know it'll be a long process!
Saga is looking great, as are all of your pieces. I look forward to seeing your progress. Happy stitching!
thank you! I really do enjoy SAGA!
Entirely beading the roses is a fabulous idea it is going to look fantastic when you are done. I believe the purple beads that change color in the light have an iris finish on them that gives them the iridescence to the color.
That circus piece is intense stitching!
It definitely is!
Hello Andrew and Winston love your new start. The beads are beautiful. Adore Saga. Happy stitching
Thank you so much! :)
Hi Andrew
Love all of your WIPS - you are making great progress on them.
Take Care & Happy Stitching
❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵❤️
Happy stitching to you too! ❤️
Your projects are beautiful. Winston is adorable. Enjoyed watching your video.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great progress on the mermaid - she looks lovely❤❤
Thank you so much! I'm really happy with how she is looking!
Never thought about beading rather than stitching. Great idea but on a smaller scale for me.❤
Yeah I don't know why I went so big, but I did haha. Smaller is probably wiser :)
Andrew…I was feeling a bit stressed….your videos are a perfect remedy. Thank you. Yes…a fully beaded piece…I will join you but on a smaller example. 🦉❤️
Aww I'm sorry you were feeling stressed! Oh that's amazing that you will join in and also do a beaded piece! Can't wait to see what you choose!
I’m excited about your beading project. That will be so beautiful ❤
Me too! I can't wait to see how it turns out.
I had to listen to that twice. All beads for Black Rose is phenomenal and it’s going to be beyond amazing. I look forward to seeing it emerge as the months go by. Excellent plan! Lots of great, very big stitches to keep you out of trouble this year!

I appreciate it! Happy New Year!
Love Saga and congratulations on Pixel dragons you are so close !
Pixel dragons has been a long time in the making, but so close to the end!
Let me just pick my jaw up off the floor … 😮 you surprised me, ALL BEADS! I love it. WOW oh wow I’m excited to watch that one grow. And let’s get on the rally train for a Pixel Dragon finish!!

Andrew!!! A whole project with just beads? 😳😳 Wow, that’s amazing! I would never have the patience for that 🤣🤣 It will be stunning!!
Here's hoping I have the patience for it haha. I love beading and I'm very excited, but yeah it will be a long time in the making!
Love love love the beading project!
Thank you!
3000 stitches! way to go. I been working on HAED candy shoppe by Aimee Stewart got to 3300 stitches in 5 days. This was my new start and I wanted to get a head start on it.
That's really great progress for your new start! way to go!
Have you seen I think it's Cross Stitch Jess and her beaded ink circles piece? It's AMAZING. I have no doubt black roses will be stunning!
I haven't yet, but I need to go check it out! I bet it's incredible!
Thank you for the video. I love that you are beading a whole project. I beaded so many lace bobbins with the Delia bead I enjoyed it at the time. Your other is so beautiful I always enjoy seeing what you will do next,
Aww thank you so much! I'm definitely enjoying the process!
Oh my gosh I can't believe you're going to bead all of Black Roses! It's going to be so epic when it'd done!
It's going to be quite a long term piece, but I'm very excited!
Oh Andrew!! Black Rose will be simply stunning!! It's already spectacular!
Aww thank you so much! I'm learning a lot as I bead already, but really enjoying it!
That beading piece will be stunning. I hope you put it in a show when it's finished. Your stitching is beautiful, and I have no doubt that you'll take every prize available.
Thank you so much! It will be a lot of work, but I'm very excited. I have no idea when it will be finished, but that's ok :)
Your stitching is beautiful! I can't wait to see future progress on your beaded piece. Happy New Year!
Thank you so much! I'm very excited about it as well. Happy New Year!
What a goal for Black Roses! It will (and already is) look amazing!
Thank you Laura! It will be a LONG term project, but I'm excited about it. Hopefully I didn't bite off more than I can chew haha
I watch Dace too!! I love his projects!!
Me too!
Wow the all beads project will be stunning, but I don’t envy you. I struggle with beads so that many would drive me nuts. Good luck and thank you for sharing your art!
It will definitely be a lot, but I'm in no rush :).

The fully beaded project is a huge challenge... can't wait to see how it progresses!

Have a great week ❄️

Oh Andrew, so many large projects. I’m excited that you are almost finished with the dragon project.
I do love my large projects haha. Hopefully I can get some of them completed eventually :)

I'm using Nymo white! I love it so much.
What colors are you using on Saga? 🪡🪡🪡
For SAGA I'm stitching with Silks4U PR207 silk :)
Happy New Year Andrew! Love seeing your Black Roses piece, it's going to be stunning! I am interested in doing the Great British Bake Off SAL type of thing but am wondering how do I find more information about this? Any help or references would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Oh my gosh. I havent beaded many things at all . Will it be really heavy and stretch the fabric, just asked ng, cause I dont know. It's gorgeous
This will be my first large beading piece. I think it will be heavy, but I'm not sure about stretching! I'll keep you posted!
I love your idea of doing that piece in beads! I've had thoughts from time to time of doing a piece all in beads but I haven't jumped in yet. 🪡👠
Maybe now is the time to pick one! haha. I hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew, but I really enjoy beading and I'm excited to see where it goes!
