Two Little Kits

Grab a cuppa and your current project, because we have *so* much to catch up on today..! I am freshly back from Stitch-Con, and my mind (and suitcase) is absolutely overflowing. I'm sharing a look at the incredible gifts, freebie bin treasures, and swag I came home with, plus the beautiful fabric, patterns, and needleminders I couldn't resist buying. It was such a surreal, wonderful three and a ha...

In this episode, I'm sharing a whirlwind of updates from the past two weeks, including a look at my brand-new tattoo (and the beautiful meaning behind it), a funny tale about a hair change that needed a quick "fix", and the pure excitement of getting ready for Stitch-Con this coming weekend. On the stitching front, we have a lot to look at. I've got progress on "Life at the Cottage" and "Museum Af...

Welcome back to the channel! It has been a busy couple of weeks on the stitching front, filled with a lovely mix of finishes, progress, and the inevitable "frogging" session. I am absolutely thrilled to share a fully finished piece with you today —complete with a beautiful new beechwood hoop— alongside a sneak peek at a brand-new D&D-inspired pattern coming to the shop very soon, and a brand-n...

This episode is packed with major milestones and a cozy look at my hoops. I've poured my stitching time into the Museum After Midnight stitch-along, and the frame -including the crisp backstitching- is officially ready for part one! I'm also making serious headway on Ancient Tales, which is agonizingly close to the finish line with only the white left to go. Beyond the fabric, a project years in t...

Another wonderfully busy FlossTube update as I navigate a rotation of six different projects in progress, amongst other things. I'm sharing the quick finish of two teacher appreciation gifts (gifted today!), progress on the "Museum After Midnight" stitch-along, and the adorable addition of a bandana-wearing bunny to the "Life at the Cottage" stitch-along. On the design front, I'm thrilled to final...

Welcome back to the channel! This episode is another wonderfully WIP-heavy update as I navigate eight different projects on my hoops. I'm sharing progress on everything from the vibrant Life at the Cottage SAL to a nostalgic return to The Secret Grove, which I picked up briefly after last month's little drink-spill mishap. I've also officially reached part 10 of Extraordinary Birds, which means it...

This episode is very heavily focused on works-in-progress, which is honestly my favourite place to be. We’re diving into seven different projects today, ranging from massive full-coverage pieces to a cheerful new stitch-along. I also share a slightly terrifying "laundry day" story involving a tote bag, a playdate, and some rogue printer ink — thankfully with a happy ending! Beyond the stitching, I...

It has been a very busy few weeks, and my hoop (or rather, my MANY hoops!) has been full. I’m leaning even further into the work-in-progress life today with updates on *eight* different projects, including my progress on "Extraordinary Birds" and a very nostalgic return to my "Firefly" sampler. There’s also a new pattern release to celebrate — thank you all so much for the lovely reception for the...

It has been a very work-in-progress-heavy fortnight around here! Between finding a sudden flow state with a brand new design and making some serious headway on the new "Post-Apocalypse Fantasy" piece, my needle has hardly had a rest. I also share the bittersweet joy of finally releasing "Zodiac: Pisces," which marks the completion of my year-long Zodiac series. It’s a lovely feeling to see a long-...

We're back with more stitchy goodness! This past fortnight has been a bit of a whirlwind here. Between mid-winter break with my girls and two days of beautiful snowfall, I've had plenty of time to huddle up with my stitching. I finally finished the Flower Dragon Meadow SAL, and after a little bit of "frog therapy" on a strawberry dragon, I am absolutely in love with the new yellow replacement. Plu...

In this episode, I'm getting honest about dealing with a bit of "life apathy" lately and how I've been leaning into my stitching to find some much-needed joy and grounding. It's been a busy couple of weeks on the frames, featuring progress on everything from my "Extraordinary Birds" to the "Fairytale" HAED stitch-along. I'm also sharing a look at the second-to-last release in my Zodiac series—Aqua...

In this cosy FlossTube catch-up, I'm sharing what I've been stitching, designing, and thinking about over the past fortnight - the kind of update you can pop on while you work on your own project. I chat through two recent finishes (including "Zodiac: Aquarius" and a surprisingly speedy stitch of "The Starry Night"), along with progress on a whole stack of works-in-progress, from stitch-alongs and...

In this episode of FlossTube, I’m sharing a relaxed stitchy catch-up covering my current works-in-progress, a big year-long finish, and what I’ve been stitching over the past fortnight. From nearly finishing "The Starry Night", beginning progress on "Flower Prairie", continuing on "Extraordinary Birds", catching up on the available releases of the "Flower Dragon Meadow" stitch-along, and diving in...

In this episode of FlossTube, I'm sharing a cosy catch-up on what I've been stitching over the past fortnight — including progress on The Starry Night, Flower Meadow, and Flower Dragon Meadow. There are no finished pieces this time and no new patterns in my shop either, thanks to a busy stretch of commission stitching. I also chat about the Heaven & Earth Designs stitch-along… including the...

This fortnight's FlossTube is a proper mixed bag — in the most satisfying, stitchy way. I'm chatting about the absolute rollercoaster that Instagram has been lately (from a Reel that unexpectedly took off and what's come of it 👀), and how that's sparked a fun, slightly unhinged-in-the-best-way creative idea for 2026. If you love books and embroidery, you may want to lean in for that part. I also...

My latest FlossTube is finally here, and I'm kicking things off with a brand-new cross-stitch pattern reveal: "Zodiac: Sagittarius" ! It was such a whirlwind of a test stitch, which you might've guessed since I had nothing to share about it *last* FlossTube... I'm also sharing a big update on my plans for the 'Heaven and Earth Designs' 2026 stitch-along, including switching from 25ct linen to a [m...

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...
