Two Little Kits

In this episode, I'm wrapping up so many finishes (which was unintentional, I swear!) — including the colour-dense cuteness of FlossyFoxShop's "Cat Dragon House", two [secret] handmade Christmas gifts for my girls, and the final part of Lola Crow Cross Stitch's "Museum After Midnight" stitch-along. Plus, I share a peek at my new DIY 3D-printed Dungeon Crawler Carl needleminders and chat through so...

In this fortnight's episode, I'm celebrating a brand-new finish —the utterly adorable "Quilting Fox"— and officially launching my latest in my "Adulting" series; "Deserving Joy" (beautifully test-stitched by Jessica - thank you!). We are also diving into a mountain of WIPs, from a custom forest-floor embroidery design and a Stitch People family commission to the next FlossyFoxShop 'fantasy house',...

This fortnight, I'm celebrating a gorgeous new finish with FlossyFoxShop's "Winter Fantasy House", now hanging happily beside its autumn sibling, and giving you a sneak peek at "Deserving Joy" — what will be the next self-care piece in my "Adulting" series. Between near-finishes on the "Quilting Fox" and the final mammoth on the "Museum After Midnight" SAL, the stitchy mojo has been in full swing....

I'm celebrating the release of my brand-new, beginner-friendly pattern, "Find Me" — a cheeky design inspired by the game Meccha Chameleon that is set to become the first in a fun little three-part series 🤞 Of course, there's plenty of stitching progress to share too, from staying on track with "Flower Prairie" (even if I'm eyeing off a colour tweak) and making head...

Between recovering from a truly god-awful 72-hour bug and celebrating the quiet house now that the kids are officially back at school, my hands have been busy with stitching. We have a finished piece celebration for "Life at the Cottage" —which had a slightly abrupt ending when I chose to skip part 8— along with far too many new starts to feel guilty about. From Elle Noonan's gorgeous new pattern...

It's new FlossTube day! I have plenty of cosy stitching updates and a few big life chats to catch up on this fortnight! On the stitching front, I managed a speedy 10-day finish on the utterly charming "Fall Fantasy House" by FlossyFoxShop, stayed on track with my current SALs, and finally hooped and hung my "Pretty Little Cities" trio (Sydney, LA, and Seattle) after having the first finish sitting...

Happy new-FlossTube-day! In this episode, I'm sharing my newest cross-stitch pattern release, "Cascadia Edict" — my second Dungeon Crawler Carl -inspired design (with a huge shout-out to the kind stranger who helped me land on the perfect name!). I'm also dipping my toe into a brand-new, AI-free marketplace called 'fybe', showing off a fun haul from The Black Needle Socie...

This fortnight is a mixed bag featuring a super special care package from Australia — complete with two of my late Grandma's heirloom stork embroidery scissors and a few nostalgic treats from Mum — alongside a sneak peek at my second upcoming Dungeon Crawler Carl cross-stitch pattern! I'm currently test-stitching it and would love your help deciding between two potential pattern names, so be sure...

Grab your current WIP and a cuppa because this fortnight's episode is a bit of a milestone one - I am officially celebrating my 40th birthday [on recording day]! (Which is absolutely bizarre, as I'm pretty sure I was just in my mid-20s last week?) Aside from reflecting on a few wonderful birthday treats (including my recent tattoo and that amazing trip to Stitch-Con in Ohio) I'm also incredibly re...

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...
