FlossTube No.9 - Show Notes!

 


Hello!
I have something fun and 
what I hope will be helpful 
for you that I will be posting
 monthly here on my blog.

As you know I have a new 
YouTube Channel 
and each month I film 
a new episode of FlossTube.

Within each of those episodes
 I show my cross stitching 
that I have been doing that
 month and tell all about it.

I have a lot of color changes 
that I do so that my stitches
 match my decor style and many of you
 have been asking if I would 
share those color conversions.

So each month I'll be doing
 "show notes" 
and sharing my colors on
 each "finished" piece that I 
have shown in that particular episode.

Last night I filmed FlossTube No. 9 
and here are my show notes.

  3. Beautiful cross stitch designs and colors. I'm a total newbie heading off to heck out your new Floss tube channel, as I'm looking for tips and good projects for beginners.

  5. thank you for the conversion information! When I put this pattern into my inventory, I noted that I didn't like the colors...normally I list the called for threads so I'm ready to kit it up. This is very much what I would prefer and the new info (w/a note that it's your conversion) is in my inventory!

  6. Ok. So the idea was when I heard about your You Tube channel and great tutorials, that I would save some money. Wrong. Why? Because I had to go and order the two books I didn't have and then decided I needed the book holder. Thanks so much for the really good videos. They are very inspiring to get moving and get something done.
