2022 END OF YEAR WIP PARADE 

Call the midwife is so good. I’ve been binging Kath and Kim, another good one is Derry Girls if you need a laugh. Winters are always hard and this winter is so much worse. Hang in their, spring is around the corner!!!!

Love your videos and your projects! Yes, do a 6-month WIP parade! A pattern parade would be good too!

We all have those days so just hang in there. Your list of friends is growing every day. Loved seeing all your projects.

Hi Holly. I came across your channel because RU-vid suggested it. I'm brand new to cross stitch and love watching fellow stitchers! You work is incredibly beautiful!! Also your story had me memorized. My grandma was my most favorite person. We lost her to cancer 2 years ago. It was the hardest time for me and not a day goes by that I don't think about her. She taught me how to single crochet so when she passed I watched every RU-vid video I could to teach myself how to do more stitches. I made her a blanket to keep her hands warm. It stayed with her in the casket. Your story of your Nan was just so touching. Also keep going with your citizenship. I'm so sorry it is so difficult but it is because of people like you that are doing it the right way that is so amazing. There are so many people flooding the borders but just keep your head up and keep pushing and know you are doing it the right way! Also the artic blast was awful. I know you feel alone but just know you aren't. I live in central Illinois and we got hit too. The feels like was -45 with the wind chill. I live in an old house and we have drafts. Our house got so cold and our pipes froze. Luckily they didn't burst but it was absolutely miserable. I'm so glad it's warmer now and hope that doesn't happen again this winter. Anyways I just wanted to stop and say hi. I don't normally post on videos but I felt compelled to comment. I would love to hear more about your experiences and look forward to seeing more of your work.

Absolutely would love to see a pattern parade, you have enabled me with the last 2 videos 🤣🥰

Hi Holly! I have just come across your channel and I love your work! I'm in a similar situation (away from home, frineds and family) and cross stitching is really helping! Thank you for sharing with us! I would love to see your charts!

Great progress on all your projects! Hang in there, Holly. You have lots of friends on line, and you’ll make lots more friends in person in time.

Yes on the pattern parade! I would love to see that! ❤️

I am so sorry to hear about your lovely Grandma. I am sure she is with you in spirit urging you on and I believe she would really appreciate and love what you are planning to do with in honouring her in your new home. You are not alone and it is totally fine to show emotion when you prepare your videos, especially around such sensitive areas you are experiencing. I have a similar situation where it is just me and my cat Georgie, who rules the house lol, and its not until you do not have anyone around you that you feel the loneliness, especially at Christmas and in a totally different country. The UK is different to the US for their traditions. A pattern parade would be cool to see, as this is one thing I have collected over the years, I haven't been able to stitch them though lol. It is always facinating to see the patterns other people choose 🙂. I'm bit of a magpie in that I collect magical sparkle and bright colour patterns lol.

Happy New Year! I've been MIA in the watching FlossTube department, but I'm back and happy to have a good, long video to watch. You are a rock star for having so many large projects! I definitely could not handle that LOL Thank you for sharing your personal story about your grandmother. The planting of a tree, spreading her ashes and creating a memorial wall sounds lovely. YES, to a pattern parade.

I just discovered you as I’ve been watching every WIP parade I can find. So sorry you are having a rough time. Wish I lived closer but all I can offer is a virtual hug. I’m about to start my first HAED and I love seeing your projects.

Really really enjoyed this video, I love all your projects 🌼

Hi hun. Love yr video. Great projects. I love heaven and earth designs too. I'd love to see a chart parade. Take care. Xx

First time watching - you have some stunning WIPs. Bravo for being so brave and starting a new life in a new country - you're doing great x

What a beautiful story about your nan🥰 And your immigration hardship is a disgrace for this country. You are so right about being legal vs. illegal. Your video is beautiful. So happy you showed up in my RU-vid feed. Just subscribed. Best of luck! (Your stitching it gorgeous!)

Hi Holly, your YT video popped up in my recommended feed, so this is my first time watching your videos. Loved your wip,parade! I am sorry you’re having a hard time with immigration. Hang in there, it will get better. I love in one of the border states (AZ), which is definitely having issues with illegals. The world is crazy right now. Loved your wips! I am a fan of HAEDS also, but have a couple of smaller projects going too. Would absolutely love to see a pattern parade and I look forward to more of your vids. I am now subbed to your channel! 😊

Wow! Found your channel yesterday while searching for some more end of year WIP parades, and how glad I am to have found you. Great progress on your WIPs considering how busy you have been this past year. Having watched the WIP parade I then had to go back and watch old videos so I could catch more about your big move! I have spent the last two days of my spare time stitching and watching your 2022 flosstube videos. I am amazed at what you have achieved with your new home and having to deal with contractors (or not as the case may be), visa paperwork and the story of your cats travelling over (had me in tears with that video, as I have cats and I would have been just the same). Your horse finally making it over to you 🥰what an epic journey they had. Wishing you lots of happiness for 2023 and looking forward to your next update. Now off to watch your pattern parade 😄

Thanks for the video. i love any parade 🙂

Loved your video! So sorry about the immigration difficulties . Hang in there you are a wonderful talented stitcher which makes for good stress reduction. See you next time. I will also take your advice about call the midwife!

Love the WIP parade and would love to see a pattern parade. If you ever want to have the 25 ct piece stitched up, send it my way - I would be happy to stitch it for you and send it back to you so you can show the difference once you have yours finished. 25 ct one over one is my sweet spot and I use CXC floss as well.

Hi I just stumbled across you really loved your videos and energy it must be really hard being out their in America on your own. I am also a full coverage stitcher. Happy New year😊

Enjoyed your stitching beautiful and we all have those down moments, cheer up you not alone will keep you in prayer everything works out.

Happy New Year, Holly. Lovely projects. I look forward to your continuing progress on all you WIPs. I am sorry about your immigration issues, and I was one of those who worried about you when I watched your last video. I hope your immigration issues will be resolved soon. Please bear in mind that many of us in the United States share an immigrant journey. Your resources (including your ability to speak and read English) and privileges which I will not explore here are beyond what many of us could have imagined when we came to the U.S. You "Nan" would have been very proud of your accomplishments at this stage of your American journey, and the wonderful future which awaits you. Be well and stay safe and healthy in these continuing challenging times.

Happy New Year! Love your choices, we have similar tastes.

Thanks for sharing your work!

Its amazing to look at all your wips and ufos. I cannot imagine the amount of money that is spent on all the frames,floss,fabric and all other accessories. I wonder if people ever figure it out.

Fantásticos!!!

Would love to see your pattern parade 😍

Really enjoyed watching your video and would love to see what patterns you have. I know I only work 1 piece at a time but I can always dream, so watching your video inspires me to get some stitching done rather than crochet. Yes many a time my brother in law would tell me about the USA and being legal is really difficult. My sister goes to the USA every year and lives there for 1 month as she has daughters there. While there they renew their library card because they don't accept renewal over the phone, crazy. The pieces of work you are not going to continue with you could make them into a tiny cushion and strawberry pin cushion that way you will get use out of it. I do like the names of fabric, threads and charts; watched videos that don't have that information and it's annoying. lol. I hope your horse has settled in well and got into a routine as she is a blessing.

Lovely seeing you again. So agree about gridded fabric, I usually do it myself but the HAED I am doing is so big I am using pre gridded Lugana for the first time. Just worried about having to wash it when finished to remove the lines behind the pale threads! Never had to wash a piece before!

Hi Holly! Happy New Year😊🎉 I really enjoyed watching you talk about your WIPs. I’m a new subscriber and love, love, love the pink😊🌺🌸🌺🇮🇪☘️🇺🇸🍎❤️🧵😊🎊🎊☔️Peggy from rainy cold Southern California. (Call the Midwife is one of my favorites)I’ll just start the series over if I need a fix of English history

So good to see you again ❤️. Love all your wips and new projects ❤️. You have made great progress this year. I can’t wait to see what you do in 2023. I hope you have a great couple of weeks, stay safe and happy stitching ❤️

Happy New Year my dear! So sorry to hear you’re having a bit of a tough time sorting out all your legalities. You know what though, you’ve obviously got enough grit to get you through it, you wouldn’t be there on your own in the first place if you didn’t! Most wouldn’t even attempt something like that so high five you. I love seeing all your WIPs - I’ve got a lot of the same or similar patterns myself- particularly all the book ones. Just started The Grand Library as my new year, new start so we’ll see how many decades that little gem takes me. And I’d love to see a pattern parade as enabling as that might be! I’ve put myself on a no purchase pattern ban this year though as I’ve got so many and every time there’s a HAED sale I can’t resist and there’s no way at 42 years old that I’ve got enough time left to finish all the patterns I own unless I give up work and caring for my kids (they’re autistic and ADHD so that’s never gonna happen just in case you think I was being serious there! 🤪) looking forward to your next update and big hugs from dismal rainy grey GB xx

Hi Holly! I just found your channel last week and have binge watched you from the beginning. Your projects are gorgeous and I love how you put a lot of thought in what you pick. I love listening about your US journey and have subbed to your equine channel. Will you be uploading vlogs? Anyway, I subbed and can’t wait for more- Tina

Love your video! I hear a lot of stitchers say WIP go. May I asked what that means? All your projects look gorgeous. And even when you say not a lot of progress; every stitch you make is one less till your finished

Hi. I'm new to your channel. You appeared on my feed. Stitched a little on krozwyrd whilst watching. Very pretty parade. Little blue seahorse on the peacock piece is lovely. Do you remember where it's from? All the best with dealing with immigration and stray acquaintances

Well I've been watching flosstube for a couple of years and I've never come across you!! Loved this video and have subbed and will now be going back over your older videos. I'm from Evesham so where you were talking about Cheltenham & Gloucester you're probably from somewhere local originally. But sounds like you have an exciting time ahead in the states. I don't know if you have access to BBC iPlayer but I've just finished Happy Valley, I binged 3 series.

I have just come across you and thoroughly enjoyed 😉 you have some beautiful WIPs 😍 Call the Midwife is the best show ever and yes, very emotional 😢 You are very brave to move country, is there a reason? Best wishes from UK 🇬🇧

I have been watching your channel since you were still in England, your full coverage is AMAZING! I have to laugh, my sister-in-law gave me a little Riolis kit last year ( 5x5) I thought oh this is going to be fun and easy, so a year later still working on that little thing. It is on my WIPGO to work on every 2-3 days for 2023. How do you find those CXC threads and what is so different about them? Also are they close to DMC colors? My favorite of yours is that little Owl with the leaf stuck to his head, I chuckle everytime you show him. Happy Stitching and look forward to the pattern parade and your progress.

Sorry to hear your having such a hard time getting legal. Where are you at? We travel full time in our RV maybe we could meet up one day! Lovely wip parade, I would love to see a 6 month update.

I'm pretty new to cross stitch/flosstube, and I also mostly do full coverage so this was a fun video to see. I think you made a lot of progress over the year compared to a lot of other people I've watched. You're also the only person I've heard talk about CXC threads which I also use. Have you ever had issues with colour matching when a pattern calls for DMC and you use CXC?

Hi holly love watching your videos and progress on your wips they all look amazing but are you still stitching on a stitch in time by Aimee Stewart would love to see your progress. I started it over 12 months ago then went into a pile with other wips 😂 not finished

Amazing work! No worries over the years we are all real people and need a good cry once in a while. Sending good ways on your imigration process I know it’s brutal.

Just do a pattern parade!

I just found your Flosstube. Your stitching is amazing. I am confused though why you are here in the U.S. By the way you talk, all of your friends, family and everything you love to do is in the UK. You should like you are miserable here. Maybe the U.S isn't where you need to be. Just a thought; something to think about. Good luck with everything.

Just found you through you WIP parade. You have a like and a subscribe from me. Now to go back and watch some of your regular updates. I am so sorry you are dealing with the cold. We have actually had an unseasonably warm winter here in Maine and have just now started to get snow. I hope it warms up for you soon!

A chart parade would be great! Love to see what everyone is working on. Even people born in America want to go down and come through the border illegally so they can have all the benefits the illegals are getting.

are you able to share you peony pattern?

You should keep a glass of water close by when filming to stop the throat retching

Hi. Are you on insta? I saw an insta name come up when I found you on flosstube but I’ve tried searching it and nothing comes up! Are you able to post a link at all? Thank you x

i think your hot pink cross stitch is beautiful. i would like to see your pattern parade. have a great day.

Could you please tell me the name of your frames, because they look much sturdier than the ones I have? Yes I would love to see all your patterns, if you have time.

Hey - where in Georgia are you based? I’m Aussie and just moved to Warner Robins 😊
