Ready to start posting Flosstube tags

Well, I have tracked down all the tags I could manage to find.  A few took some digging, as a couple of the original tag videos were deleted, and a couple original tag videos did not have their questions written out.

 So, I will start posting them.  There are currently 25 tags, here is the list:

If I am missing any current tags, or if you post a new tag in the future and I haven't caught it and added it in a timely manner, or there are any errors in my documents, please let me know.  You can comment to this blog post or comment to the Flosstube video linked here:

Flosstube Tags

Recently, there has been quite the explosion of videos replying to Flosstube Tags.  Makes for hours and hours of Flosstube videos to be watched/listened to while stitching.  One wonderful Flosstuber, Heather Stitches, has put together a playlist of original tag videos to reference.  It is a really good idea and very useful to all of Flosstube.  I took a look at her playlist the other day to take stock of the tags I want to work on.  I noticed that at the top of the list, there was a deleted video.  Once a video is deleted, there is no way to really tell what it used to be.  This has happened to two original tag videos so far.  So, I got the idea to document all the tags on my blog, making it easy for Flosstubers to acquire the questions, and to safeguard against deleted original tag videos.  I am almost done compiling all the current tags and their questions.  Soon I will post them on this blog.  Then as I come across new tags, I will add them.

Happy Stitching!

Floss Storage Cards for 3x4 baggies

I got a request for cards to fit the 3x4 baggies you get at Hobby Lobby near the jewelry section.

These should be cut to 2.75 x 3.75 inches.

Weeks Dye Works Floss Storage Cards

Hey Stitchers!  I've been working on these for awhile, and they're finally ready.

One thing I learned by making these, is just how many color-ways WDW has for embroidery floss.  I had no idea there were so many.  Currently the number is 315.  Also, their color-ways are somewhat tough to capture in a color swatch, so please keep in mind that the colors on the color cards is an approximate depiction of that color-way. 

Just a reminder, the snack sized baggie cards are cut to 3 x 6 inches (7.6 x 15.2 cm).  The floss-away type baggie cards are cut to 2.75 x 4.75 inches (6.9 x 12.0).  If you are using a different sized baggie, figure out what size card is needed, and let me know.  I can create a file for that size baggie, which I like to do especially if  I can fit more cards onto a page thereby needing fewer sheets of cardstock.  I'm thinking about doing another video showing how to cut the cards, this time using the smaller cards.

Here they are:

WDW Floss Storage Cards - for snack-sized baggies - color - as of 2105

WDW Floss Storage Cards - for snack-sized baggies - b&w - as of 2015

WDW Floss Storage Cards - for floss-away type baggies - color - as of 2015

WDW Floss Storage Cards - for floss-away type baggies - b&w - as of 2015


One other interesting thing is that Weeks Dye Works has a document on their website that is an order form for shop owners.  It has the floss colors split up into groups, one of which has 11 colors and is labeled as solid colors collection.  They are:

- Bluecoat Blue
- Bluecoat Red
- Buttercup
- Chesapeake
- Crimson
- Mascara
- Okefenokee
- Sand
- Teal Frost
- Williamsburg Blue
- Williamsburg Red

Personally, I think I will stay away from those, since I can use DMC conversions without worrying about losing the variegated effect we stitch with hand-dyed floss to achieve.

WDW releases new colors 2 times each year, at the 2 needlework trade shows, as far as I can tell.  I will try to keep up with building new cards for the new colors, but if I miss something, please let me know.

Links to the original videos showing my system and the cards are in the post of the DMC Floss Storage Cards. 

Happy Stitching.... and Happy Stashing!

DMC Floss Storage Cards

Hey Stitchers!

Here are the files I have been promising....

I have 4 files to share with you today.  My original DMC snack-size baggie color file has been revised to include the 16 colors added in 2013, so now it is all in one file instead of two.  I also created a version with the color swatches removed, for anyone who either cannot or doesn't want to print in color.  Then, this week, Stitching Mae asked for the cards to use with her Floss-a-way bags.  So I modified the spacing for the smaller cards, and created color and b&w versions.

DMC Floss Storage Cards - for floss-a-way size baggies - color - as of 2015

As with all created and shared things, you are more than welcome to use for your personal use.  I am happy to share these with all stitchers to help you enjoy your hobby more.  Please, no selling of my works and ideas.  Thank you!

I'm back

While  I am still unable to post pictures to my blog using my laptop, which is why I have been away from my blog for so long, we have a new desktop which can post pictures.  So, I will be able to resume blogging finally.

Since I abandoned my blog, I have posted several YouTube videos about cross-stitching.  There are so many cross-stitchers on YouTube now, we've starting calling it Flosstube.  I'm loving it...it is so much fun! And to think, such a camera shy, introverted, mildly antisocial being such as myself, has an active YouTube channel. It does boggle the mind at times.

I am also active on a few Cross Stitch groups on Facebook.  And I've even dabbled with Instagram, although I'm not currently active with it.

So, why start posting to my blog again? Two reasons mainly...

First I have some files that I've created that I've offered up to the crafting communities.  The more recent ones are posted in the files section of one of the Facebook groups I belong to, and I also send them directly to anyone asks and provides me with an e-mail to send them to.  Not everyone does Facebook, and sometimes the exchange of email addresses on YouTube has proved somewhat tedious.  I finally realized that I can put these files on my blog, and make it so much easier for crafters to get to them.  Although, I will miss the interaction of sending the files directly to someone with a personal message.

Additionally, the information on blogs is actually quite valuable at times.  When I've researched certain questions I've had, many times I find the information I am looking for on a blog.  And when I do a keyword search on Google Image, where do the images usually come from?  Online stores, blogs, Pinterest, Ebay, and Etsy, and occasionally YouTube.  But not from where it seems many cross-stitchers are posting pictures, which seems to be Instagram, Forums, and Facebook groups.  This is why I feel keeping a blog is a worthwhile endeavor.

Here are a few examples of things on blogs I've found using a Google Image keyword search:

Thanks to Ramona of Cross Stitch Bobobitch Mononitch blog, I discovered Cool Cardinal, which is now one of my WIPs.

Thanks to Terry of Fairies, Dragons and Mermaids...OH MY! blog, I discovered that I really like TW's Tracery Dragons even more on a medium blue fabric.  This is on my to-do list.

And one search even led me to the amazing plethora of finishing techniques on Learn to finish with the Twisted Stitcher.  Thank you so much Vonna for taking the time to compile all those wonderful tutorials!

An exhaustive search for just the right mini project for the Harvest SAL on Cross Stitch, It's Fun! FB group, finally led me to Harvest Pumpkin by Erica Michaels.

I was searching for a project for the Dumb Ways to Die SAL (spawned by an Australian public service announcement jingle), I was struggling since that doesn't really readily lend itself to cross-stitch.  Since I grew up in Wisconsin, when I brainstormed on what I could do, I decided to do something from my home state.  I went looking for a pattern of a badger. While growing up in WI, I was taught that if I happened across a badger in the woods, to run quickly in the opposite direction, because chances are I had stumbled into their den area and the badger was going to get very vicious to defend their den.  Badgers are actually quite adorable when they're happy and relaxed, but damn scary when they're unhappy and feel threatened.  So, a Google Image search turned up this pattern of a Badger.  Here is my stitched piece for the SAL:

I think that is enough examples to support my point.  My blog doesn't have any followers, and that is perfectly okay with me.  I certainly don't expect anyone to read everything I write.  But if I help one person with my files or pictures or whatever I  post, then it is worth it.  As with my Flosstube channel, I don't ever claim to post with any measure of regularity.  That is just how it is.

Happy Stitching!
