Two Little Kits

This episode ended up packed to the brim, even if it hasn't been the week I'd planned (hence why this is a day late!). I finally get to show you my finished bookmark design from 'Spellbound Stitches Volume 5: Bookmark Book' , which has been the world's longest tease [sorry, not sorry?] . I'm also chatting about my brand-new pattern "'Tism Spoon": a funny, neurospicy little design based off a curre...

It's time for another FlossTube episode, and I've got a mix of spooky, stitchy, and silly things to share this week! 👻 I'm showing off my "Superstitious Stitches" piece from the book "Witchy Stitching" —perfectly timed for Halloween— plus a little peek at the back of my "Ever After" bookmark (the front's still a secret for just a little longer!). I also squeezed in a fun Stitch People portrait co...

This fortnight's FlossTube is packed with stitching updates, new patterns, and some fun little life bits in between! I've got a finished piece to share — well, almost! My "Ever After" bookmark is all stitched up and ready to be turned into, you know… an actual bookmark (that's on my to-do list this week 😅). I can't wait to show it off properly next episode! I'm also chatting about my latest patte...

This fortnight's FlossTube is packed with updates — both stitchy and personal! I chat about the upcoming pre-order for my next cross-stitch pattern, plus the release of Zodiac: Libra, the latest in my celestial series. I also run through a bunch of new blog posts now up on my website, including topics like messy desks, missing DMC flosses, and a fun community poll: Team Cross-Stitch or Team Embroi...

This fortnight's FlossTube is packed with stitchy goodness. I promise! I got to share some new t-shirts I ordered of my own designs (now in my [current] size! Woohoo!) that arrived right before recording, shared my latest cross-stitch pattern (after having to hunt for the test stitch during recording - lol) and -of course- share the works-in-progress I touched on in the past 2 weeks. Don't forget...

This week’s FlossTube is a mix of stitching progress, funny behind-the-scenes moments, and a few exciting updates! I’m sharing all my current WIPs, including my whinsical new piece "Superstitious Stitches" (picked up to join in the #seasonofthewitchsal hashtag on Instagram — because of course I couldn’t resist). You’ll also get a peek at a few of my works-in-progress, including an update on my "Fl...

Welcome back to FlossTube! In this episode, I’ve got a little bit of everything: my Washington State Fair entries, some new stitchy haul (including a book I found!), updates on my WIPs, a finished test stitch of my upcoming “Zodiac: Virgo” design, plus a peek at my "Flower Meadow" progress. The big news this time, though? 🎉 I'm opening pre-orders for my new line of merchandise & apparel - "Tr...

A huge drop in the number of works-in-progress compared to last FlossTube, but I've made so much progress, though! Which you can't be upset about… right? 😅 I didn't really plan long term on releasing multiple cross-stitch patterns last week, but I'm glad I made it work and managed to get them both out on time. I am genuinely curious on what you think about the pattern I was a little mysterious ab...

As of the 17th, my FlossTube series is 4-years-old! I started way back in 2021, not really knowing what to expect from my videos. I don't think I follow the regular FlossTube kind of 'vibe' that you might otherwise see, but these videos have helped me be more mindful of what I've gotten up to and give me some time & space to process how things have gone. If you've enjoyed my FlossTube videos, firs...

I'm officially wrapping up my 30s now, I guess..! In this fortnight's episode, I touch on a number of different things. I even made notes on what questions I wanted to ask you guys - go me! Some questions I asked for your feedback on: Should I enter my recent finished piece to the Washington State Fair? What are/were your thoughts on the "FlossTube Celebration" kit/piece? 🗈 Will you do the Twigs &...

Well, there were a number of tangents today, I guess. But we got there in the end! More work on the same set of works-in-progress, some 'haul' that I've gotten over the past month or so and even a finished piece that I forgot to share in the last FlossTube episode . I also completed my May 2025 wrap-up post just before recording this episode, which is always a good feeling! Plus some other blog po...

A belated FlossTube episode (Sorry about that!) with lots to share! I have five works-in-progress to share, five new blog posts to share and [I think?] five big pieces of news from IRL to share! Plus, watch to the end to see a special visitor to send me off for the video 🧡 Let me know what you think about my current social media flow and what you think of the "No Spend June" Reel I mention in the...

Join me for another stitchy catch-up as I share everything I’ve been working on over the past two weeks — including six adorable finished Stitch People portraits featuring school buses (perfect for the amazing bus drivers at my daughters’ school who have been so kind to her all year 🧡). I can't wait to gift them! Also; surprise! I've extended my mini mystery cross-stitch kit availability, so toda...

Can you believe it? ONE HUNDRED EPISODES! 🎉 To celebrate my 100th episode, I am releasing a small [but adorable!] limited edition mystery kit (link below) that you can grab now on my website! It's called "FlossTube Celebration" and will be available for purchase for just 2 weeks. Final available day will be June 1st. What else did I cover in this episode? As mentioned; lots of completed teacher &...

If you're a designer who gets patterns like this printed and shipped to local needlepoint stores, can you please reach out and let me know how! It's that time of year (one of two, that is) and I'm happy to be able to share lots of work completed on teacher & therapist gifts for 2025. At the time of recording, I still had two pieces to work on, but I'm happy to report that at the time of releas...

Surprise! A new cross-stitch pattern -that wasn't really even a "thing" during my previous FlossTube episode- was released this past fortnight! I would love to get your feedback on it, as it's the first in a year-long series! And what do you think about the design for the second piece? Fingers crossed I can release it on schedule 🤞 What else did I cover in this episode? A heap of stuff that happe...

I made a [horrible] realisation right before I started recording this FlossTube episode. I haven't made designs for teacher appreciation week still... and it's ALREADY April. Ahhh! Despite this, I have made great progress on my active works-in-progress - including my 'Flower Meadow'! It felt *so* good to catch up on that project properly. Now I just need to get back into the groove and continue it...

Wowzer; I didn't realise -until recording this episode- just how many works-in-progress I actually had touched on this past fortnight..! Which one are you most excited about seeing completed? This past two weeks had me doing a lot of stitching (obviously!) as well as receiving some new bits and pieces for stitching and Two Little Kits as a business. The fortnight was quiet on the "IRL" front - par...

I touch on the topic for a bit, but I doubt my upcoming cross-stitch pattern; "Missed Opportunities" is going to do very well. But you know what? That's OK with me..! I am participating in my kids' school's upcoming silent auction this week, by donating a six-character portrait and because of that, I've already completed my *THIRD* group portrait of the year..! I wanted to make a demo piece that c...

As of editing the video & writing this description, I'm so pleased that the finished piece you see in this fortnight's episode is on its way to Canada as a birthday present for my customer's wife! Yay! I would love to hear your thoughts on this piece in the comments below. What else did I cover in this episode? A handful of works-in-progress, including a crochet piece, A brand new...

I've found myself focusing on certain projects this past fortnight (and even earlier, I guess..!); mainly due to the lack of sunlight lately, making some projects more difficult to work on than others. I'm looking at you, 'Night of the Frost Dragon' SAL..! 🤣 A few topics covered this fortnight are: The beginning of a commissioned piece, Lots of work on 'Pretty Little Seattle', Updates on Two Litt...

It's only the second FlossTube for 2025 and I already have my first finished piece for the year to share with you. Wowzers! I still don't really know why I felt so inclined to only work on a couple of my works-in-progress pieces this fortnight. I do know I often found myself unwilling to work on "Night of the Frost Dragon" because of the fact it's on black fabric. So maybe I ought to keep a flag o...

Happy New Year, friend! Let's hope that 2025 is a wonderful, creative year for us all 🥳 Once again, I put off recording until the last minute and therefore, felt rushed. Whoops! Hopefully I will learn one day. But I managed to squeeze a heap into this fortnight's episode regardless! Some things I talk about: How the remainder of school break was. My latest (and first for the new year!) cross-stit...

It's almost the end of another year - can you believe it?! I tried my best to be succinct with this FlossTube episode, but I just had so much I wanted to talk about... Wrapping up a year can do that to a gal though, yeah? Some things I talk about: My final standing with WIPs for the year Sharing my final finished cross-stitch project for 2024 Update on my own family portraits from last FlossTube (...

More than just needlepoint work is going on - what is this?! This fortnight I struggled to get started with the recording (for some reason) but we covered a lot before I had to rush off to collect my daughter: A few works-in-progress, including the lap blanket you see in the thumbnail. Three finished cross-stitch pieces. I guess I'm ready for Christmas?! Two Little Kits' updates + new posts. IRL s...
