Flosstube 223: Back in the Saddle Again 

Your stitching looks beautiful and so glad you had a great visit with your parents. I love your newly planted flowers, they're so pretty. I hope you have a fantastic week ahead.

Those are beautiful flowers. I am glad you had a wonderful visit. Have a great week and happy stitching.

Good to have you back! I am so happy you had a great time with your parents! Happy stitching!❤

It’s wonderful that your parents could come for a visit. I love ‘game night’

Love your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!

Welcome back! Your flowers are beautiful! I love the colors in the mandala piece. Great progress on your Sunday piece. That was a very fun box from Jesse. She must be where you learned to be the great enable that you are. 🤗🤗

Way to go Dr Zook! You look amazing and very professorial! What was your PHD in? Sociology, but what in particular if you don’t mind my asking? That is such a great achievement! Your flowers are so beautiful! I wouldn’t even know what to plant. Do you know what they are?

Welcome back. The flowers and a wonderful visit was definitely worth missing stitching time though. Beautiful work on everything. I am so looking forward to the Mother May I challenge. Love the idea.

Love your flowers so pretty love your graduation photo, I am a one at a time stitcher, maybe someday I will take the plunge and do two or more at once. Nice progress on your stitching, love your new stash and the lovely gifts from you dear friend. How lovely you can work at home,

I love the tip of doing the mandalas circular. Thanks for the tip. Your flowers are beautiful.

The flowers look great. Very colorful. I love the colors on the Mandala piece too. Glad your back and so glad you had a great visit with your parents. I too saw the Beatles when I was 12 or 13 in Cleveland, Ohio. Have a great week and look forward to next Saturdays video

Hi Carolyn The Flowers are so pretty. I love them. Love your WIPS - Love everything that you show in your Video. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🙏🐾🐱🐾🪡🧵🪡🌺🌼🌻💐🌸❤️

The flowers are beautiful love the plant stands. You have had a haircut great job. Love the strawberry chart. The Walnut crystals work a treat on the linen.

Those flowers are gorgeous! Your mom did a great job picking them out. Spring Montage is really coming along. It looks great. Yes. that was the bag I screwed up to begin with. I've had it done since January. I had trouble finding the right size box/envelope that wouldn't ruin the vinyl, so I included a few other goodies that I thought you might like that kept the vinyl from folding in on itself. I have the same French General bag and love it. I drape it over the arm of the couch so everything is accessible and then fold it up when I'm stitching away from home. I put a piece of quilt batting in the needle holder because I thought the felt was too stiff. I'd love to see how you use yours. Have a wonderful week!

Hi Carolyn. Thanks for the update. Your progress on Spring Montage is wonderful! Love your daisy wall idea. x ⚘️

Beautiful flowers I planted some as well. Always nice to have a great visit with family I am heading to my sisters for a few days really looking forward to it. Happy stitching Patty

Hi Carolyn! Glad you enjoyed your parents' visit! The flowers are so pretty. Don't forget to water those flowers :). Have a great week!

Such pretty flowers and pots! It sounds like a great visit. Your stitchy progress might not be great (as in area covered) but it is beautiful. It is good to have you back .

I love your flowers! Seeing them inspired me to go water mine.. I am the worst at plant care! Happy stitching!

I'm doing "Beautiful Things" over 1 on 28. I was struggling, until it dawned on me that I needed a bigger needle. I'm working with a 24 now and I'm having a great time .

Hint on watering your plants. If you have chlorine in your water you'll want to put some water in a pitcher and let it set for 24 hours. Some people catch rain water to water to water their plants. Hope this helps. Did your mom say how often to water them?

It's great to have you back. Please remember to water the plants 😅😅😅. I might bring purple Reign to Stitch-Con since his birthday is on the 7th.

Nice mix of flowers. Looks great

Hi Carolyn ❤ What no Daisies? Love all the flowers. Hydrangea s are gorgeous 😍 Have a great week ahead. ❤happy stitching ❤🎉

Hi Carolyn! Your Beautiful Girl piece looks lovely. I started mine, but decided to do the words first…call it laziness as I didn’t feel like looking for all of the floss 😜

Really missed you last week too. Glad you have a good time with your parent♥️. Your mum brightened you garden . Stay safe and see you next week🤗🇬🇧

Hello and welcome back my sweet friend! Your coleus and flowers are beautiful. I recognize most of them but what kind of flower was the one you showed after the begonia? It is a pink and white flower if that helps. Bless your mom for planting your flowers for you. So glad you enjoyed your visit from your parents. You are so blessed that your parents are able to help you up so much when they do come to visit. I won't get much stitching done over the next few days I am sure. I have Walter starting today (Saturday the 25th through about 4 p.m. Sunday, then get him back Monday afternoon until after family dinner on Wednesday night so that Kristal can work the special election to earn some extra cash. This grandma is going to be wiped out by the end of it. I am already so far behind, as you can tell from my timeline in commenting on your floss tube, and will only get further behind with Walter here so much. I love the fact that you are Superior Mother and took the title to heart in the challenge. I am done with the bonus challenge technically but want to finish up the last thread of what I had cut off. Beautiful Girl is coming along nicely. I love that piece so much already! Spring Montage is growing beautifully. I love that you are filling it in so the piece is filling in nicely. Great job on hitting 5%. Your Hummingbird Garden is turning out very well. I worked on mine this month and am struggling less with my fabric so got some decent progress. I am still struggling with finding a good rhythm with it though. I am sick yet again with mucus, sinus drainage and coughing. I am torn between refilling the antibiotic and letting it go until I go see the ENT specialist on 6/4 at this point. Just so tired of feeling like pooh! Wish me luck for this long stretch with my sometimes sweet Walter. Love you and hope you have a wonderful week. Hugs and kisses to the boys. Dawn

Gorgeous flowers.

The flowers are lovely….i was in the garden yesterday working on the planters I got for Mother’s Day and like you, had little time to stitch. 150 exams are on their way to me with a two week turn around time so the rest of May will be a blur of bad penmanship….does no one know how to use a sharp pencil these days? But then I have money in the bank to spend on stitching so all is well. Take care.

Lovely flowers 🌷

Such pretty flowers!!

You crack me up. Always have a good laugh with you

The name Teajeigh kind of looks like it might be pronounced T.J. ? Like “eight” the AY sound. I don’t know. Lol😅 Never the less it’s a unique name, and the piece looks great so far! Hope your friend is healing well. 💗

😊😊
