Flosstube #48 Show Notes



FFOs: 
  • You Say Witch from MKissaCreations on Etsy, stitched 1/2 on 32 count lugana in Quiescence from Chromatic Alchemy with DMC 310 and Dinky Dyes silks. Finished into a pillow with some fabric and trim from Joann's and a needleminder accent. (see above for picture)
  • DMC Roses kit, stitched 2/1 on 14 count Aida with the kit DMC and finished into a tiny pillow: 




  • Heart in Hand Wee Dance, stitched 2/1 on 30 count Eggplant Linen in almost all of the called for colors. I subbed DMC 869 for the called for skin color of DMC 3774 and framed it in a thrift store frame: 

  • Barbara Ana Autumn Delight, I finished stitching this late last year and have been waiting for the perfect FFO opportunity. Well, it came in the form of a box of Gudrun Chocolates (SO DELICIOUS!!) that Wade got for Christmas. 

WIPs: 
  • Quotes to Live By from Stitchrovia, stitching it 2/1 on 16 count tea dyed Aida in all of the called for fibers: 

  • Midwest Cross Stitch retreat 2017 Haunted House freebie. Michelle and Joan kitted it up for us with the called for DMC and some 36 count linen that farm girl dyed herself. I'm stitching 1/2:

    • Goodwill: three mini Chatelaines (Amethyst, Emerald, and Ruby), Ouroborus Dragon, Just Nan Royal Hummingbirds, flower pattern from a magazine
    • St. Vinnie's: Blackbird Designs Quaker Garden, CCN Bakery and Flower Shop, Chessie & Me Jeanne's Sampler, and a mini felt kit
  • eBay: Lizzie Kates
  • Etsy: 
    • Needlekeep from QnVikki, Victoria, StitchNButton: 
  • Colour & Cotton February floss of the month, OMG:

Books: 
  • Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas (Book #2 of Throne of Glass)
    •  My Goodreads review: Okay, I was in LOVE with the first half of the book, and then I got SUPER mad at Caelena for almost the entirety of the second half. But I did have things to distract me. Like, OMG, Dorian, really?! OMG, was that twisted thing in the basement who I thought it was?! OMG, she KNEW what was going to happen to her?!?! (Can you tell I'm trying to be vauge? I'm still clicking the spoiler link, don't worry). And then at the very end of the book I heaved the biggest sigh of relief ever. I'm so glad I checked out #2-4 from the library at the same time as I literally couldn't open book #3 fast enough!
