Flosstube update #67

 Hello bloggers,

I'm here on this rainy Friday afternoon to share with you what I've been up to since we last spoke.  Now that I am fully vaccinated I have ventured out a few times (still wearing my mask). I went to the Woodlawn Needlework Exhibition and I met face to face with two of the lovely ladies that had ribbon winning entries at Woodlawn. They are Deb from stitches_of_heritage on Instagram and Miasia from stitching_in_color on Instagram. I've also had a couple of lunches in restaurants with the hubby.

 I will be flying to Cincinnati next Thursday for STITCH-CON! Mask and gloves on and a package of sanitizing wipes.  My flosstube started off with what I like to call the "Magic Q-Snap" loosely based on the magic mirror from the old Romper Room shows. (Probably way before your time) Anyway I give a shout-out to all of my previous video commenters, just a little extra thank you.

 I shared my WIPGO pieces for April, May and Junes. Here are the ones from April: A Woman Named Ella by Brittany Church and Ebony Short

There are a lot of stitches in the front of this dress and the sleeves, but it was well worth it. The other piece for April was: Repeat the Sounding Joy by Kathy Barrack

There is a lot of black in this design and to keep from having a straight line when I finish each section I stagger the ends of each line. 

 The first May design was:Christmas Dreams by Joan Elliott

         

There were stars to be stitched around Santa, but I was to lazy to stitch them and I decided to use buttons. I then couldn't decide which ones, so I used them both. There is also silver beads.  My second piece for May WIPGO was: Tribal Beauties by Jeanette Crews Designs

Tribal Beauties was stitched on 30ct Week Dye Work- Coco linen.

 My first June WIPGO piece, you've seen finished and it's Henna Cat from Soda Stitch.

There is so much sparkle in this piece, it's stitched on Fairyland Opalescent Lugana from Silkweavers.

 My second June pieces for WIPGO is: African Angel by Barbara Baatz

I am currently working on this one so no after picture yet, (will save that for next time).  

I have a few other new starts, finishes and wips to share:

Ethnic Woman - WIP

Turn Your Face Toward the Sun - needs beads

May Day - finish

Girls Night Out - finish

I've been a little busy these past few weeks, wouldn't you say?

To see the gift and haul section go to my flosstube channel the link is in the sidebar. 

As I said above I will be going to STITCH-CON and I have made some plans as to what I will be taking to "work" on. There may be too much talking to stitch, but I have plans... I will be taking the "Comparatively Small Ship of Life" and maybe an Etsy chart "I Put A Spell On You" and "A Haunting We Will Go" from Keslyn's. I'll show my progress next time.  There was also one announcement I made: I now have 2000 subscribers on my YouTube channel and you can subscribe and like me there or follow me on Instagram.  

Well now you know what I've been up to and it's time to go make some more wonderful little xxs.

Stay safe, healthy and keep stitching!
