Don't beat yourself up about Evening in Park, it's beautiful and deserves to be loved slowly, think how sad you'll be when you can't do any more stitches. It really doesn’t matter how long it takes as long as it's loved, stressing will make you hate it.
You might try to very carefully use the seam ripper before starting over . You do such beautiful work , you may be able to fix it before starting over. 👍🏻💖
About laundering: I have a terry towel with woven in Aida field and cross stitching in that field. The towel gets laundered frequently together with my clothes in the washing machine ( front loader). The stitching holds up perfectly. No loose threads, no fading.
I have been knitting on socks while enjoying your video. Too afraid to stitch in case I lose track of what I am doing. Enjoy your retreat, holiday and birthday and see you in October!
That Omanik stand looks good, but what puts me off is how big the base is, they are huge and I am certain it will poke out the back of the sofa, and get in the way when not being used. It won't be able to stand tucked up out of the way like my Lowery can.
Thanks for letting us know there's a uk seller for omanik I wanted to get the scroll bars but was afraid of the cost of delivery but now I don't have to worry about that I'm very happy I almost screamed when I found out went into my mums room to wake her just to tell her she was happy for me then told me to get out and let her sleep 😂
Oh, dang! Now I just ordered the Ominik Monstrik floor stand too...in black. Happy Birthday to me, and also to you, Teresa LS! But man! Free shipping even! The add-ons can come later as we want them. OMG, I am naughty, naughty, naughty... I'm going to try to see if it will hold my q-snap with just some of that kind of rubbery shelf liner stuff, which is what I currently use --> it really works! Congratulations on your purchase, and mine too!
I absolutely agree with you about the DMC Satin floss --> Yes! It is very pretty, but it's pretty d*mn horrid to work with! What a mess! 😁 Thanks for the great video and a few chuckles!
beautiful finish. Not sure how you display the tray (if it's on it's side, please disregard) but maybe you could prop it on an angle, then you could see the stitching easier and people wouldn't want to put items inside.
These 2 lives have been so funny and i have really enjoyed them. I have 2Gus creations stands which i love but i still need a small table one to hold hops. The others are too big. You looking at stands has me looking too. Teresa made me do it 😂
So sorry I missed today's live stream. I do so enjoy them. 😊 I feel your pain with the DMC satin flosses. They look pretty but I'd rather stitch exclusively with kreinik than use that satin floss again. Evening in the Park is looking fabulous! Thank you Mary for making her stitch on it!!
That DMC thread is awful. You have to dampen it to use. Not wet, dampen. Use a small pice of sponge wet it, squeeze out excess and then run those threads over it. They had another thread ( rayon)years ago that was just as horrid and was used on the Lavender and Lace angels. I changed that thread immediately. The thread was very slippery. There are so many metallic threads you could substitute.
My birthday is the 30th and a retreat next year would be a wonderful gift so hopefully I find out when I can sign up and then across the pond I will be. I like your new format of videos and love the nails
Theresa, I have to say I had to recently replace my beloved light that I have had for 25 years and I got the same daylight lamp. Now I have 2. I just love it! One sits in my living room where I have the same problem with my husband and this works like a dream. The second one is in my stitch corner in my bedroom. Love love love it.
Hi Teresa, I found the best way to stitch with the satin thread. I found out that you have to thread the needle as if you are sewing on a button. I also lick the thread ends and tuck under the threads. This helps to keep the tail threads under the stitches on the back. I hope you do this. ❤❤
I only caught the replay, it's summer and when it's nice out most of the time, I'm down at the beach/lake, so I have missed your 'lives', bummer! I'm so happy you did end up recording this! It was enjoyable! Thank you for doing it! Today is a cooler day and I have my bedroom to clean, so I'll have to try to catch your real live today/tonight! I hope I do! It's always great to see you here on FlossTube!!! Thank you for doing these!
