Flosstube 92: Out of the Stash at Last & a FC page finish

I really should've paused & reduced the light in the room.

Thank you for your service. That's why they practice. Every idea takes time to implement properly. Shoot, I can't count cross stitch without errors! May the men who protect us be blessed.

I will never complain about the weather in Iowa again! 🥶

I am very happy for you on completing the national park challenge and reaching strong 💪 for those goals. I can tell they are important to you. Your stitching success is inspiring 😊 You tell a great story.

Love how Kindred spirits is stitching up, it is a stunning piece. X

You know us to well. Of course we would roll our eyes... lol. Congrats on the national parks. That is a huge achievement. The chocolate box while they look enticing... you can keep them bit to up market for me with diff stitches etc. Lol
Thanks for the air force story. Glad the problems happened during an exercise and not a real event. And it still is an exciting story. All those problems including blowing off a hatch. That is interesting. Happy stitching.🐈🧶🧵

Great progress on the box of chocs they sound quite complicated. Epic progress on the horses! Looking forward to next update already! 🧵💗

Kudos on finishing all the national parks!

Congratulations on finishing the parks challenge. I think I got 40 in 20 though. I'm cheering for you to get those page finishes. Have a great stitching week.

You always amazed me! But I’m finding too that having weekly goals is really motivating... and I’m loving how it’s moving my stitching along! ~Katrina

I’m loving the teeny tiny Halloween Rules!

Owning my eye-rolling. :D I knew you'd get it done and suspect you will fly thru the final pages of your goal on KS before the end of 2020. Remember how this time last year you weren't sure you get the Parks done and look! DONE! Chocolates is going to be super fiddly but really worth it when it's done - it's such a fun piece with all the different stitches and beads and sparkles. More stuff I had no clue about re: planes and the AF. It's an education!

🤗 I’m glad you’re doing that box of chocolates and not me!!!! Take care.

[FrostyXStitch]

I hope you reach your goal❣️
I guess there where some consequences for some people after what happened on the air field or didn't happen 😳 But I am pretty sure the ones making mistakes will never make the same mistake again 😉 Great learning factor even if not so much fun at the time 🤷🏻‍♀️
Happy stitching 🧵

I love how you tackle your goals once you’ve set them, I partially recognize myself in that, although I’m also good at setting my goals to high🙈 But you can totally do this if you want to! I’m curious to see what you’ll be stitching on after you’ve reached all your goals for the year.

[theresewestover]

You are a determined lady, that’s for sure! That box of chocolates will be amazing when done, but it doesn’t look enjoyable to stitch to me. Lol
AF story: It’s good to have drills for that very purpose tho’....to fix the mishaps. I gave my son a t-shirt with a big hammer on it that says “This is not a drill”. Always cracks me up. I know...I’m weird.

I love all your AF stories. But...please do a warning before showing that damn chocolate heart again, so I can look away. 🤣 It was almost 10 at night when I watched this, and I was in my jammies, in bed. 47 degrees outside, and raining. For a chocoholic with not a bit of chocolate in the house, that design was torture! I ransacked the cupboards, but nuthin’! 😬😂
I started MacMill finally. Too late, I looked closer at the floss list and realized the sky and clouds were sposed to be half stitches! Ach! I now vaguely remember your warning about that. Luckily, I stitched one leg at a time, so frogging the top legs of about 500 stitches won’t be too awful. I love stitching on it anyway. Just a little bump in the road. SMH.

The chocolates will be amazing when done, but you do not make me want to stitch them with all those fractionals and backstitches. I'm fascinated by this whole supposed to take off 30 seconds apart thing. It's too bad it didn't work out, but I learned a lot from your story. Those Ospreys are The kids laugh at me, but listening to the one circle over the mountain by my house for hours at a time about once a week drives me batty. I assume it's because we rarely have aircraft noise that lasts for more than a few seconds so when it circles and circles and circles and circles, I feel obligated to go outside and see what it is. Is it the darn Osprey again or is it a police helicopter looking for someone (used to happen a lot where I grew up)?
