A Big Finish, New Patterns & A Slightly Naughty Idea... 🤔
Description:
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 into the HAED 2026 SAL: "Fairytale" (which yes — I’m trying parking!), there’s a lot of needle time to talk about.
I’m also celebrating the finished "Flower Meadow", sharing updates on my Zodiac series (including Capricorn, Aquarius, and what’s coming next), chatting about a new blog post, upcoming shop releases, and a few real-life updates — including my bung toe behaving badly and the joy of kids going back to school.
Some things I would love your feedback on:
- Do you use Pattern Keeper? If you do, would you recommend it, and what do you love (or not love) about it?
- If you 'park' when stitching, do you have any tips for making it work smoothly? I’m still finding my rhythm and would love advice from seasoned parkers.
- Be honest: would a slightly *naughty* cross-stitch pattern feel “too much” for my shop? Or do you think it could fit?
- Do you keep your ORTs? If so, what do you do with them (jars, projects, cHaOs, or something else entirely)?
As always, I’d love your thoughts on a few stitchy dilemmas, so grab your current project, get comfy, and stitch along with me.

FlossTube is an online community brimming with creativity and camaraderie, centred around the love for all things needlework. Much like its cousin, YouTube, FlossTube is home to a plethora of channels run by passionate creators, affectionately known as "FlossTubers." These creators produce a wide variety of content, including project updates, tutorials, hauls (showcasing recent purchases), and even vlogs that provide a glimpse into their stitching journeys.
I'm hoping to build on my little community that I've got by expanding more to YouTube and what better way than to show off what I'm working on and boast about my latest finished pieces?
It's neat to be sharing with you all what I'm working on outside of regular social media posts, like the usual over at Instagram. I hope you're enjoying my FlossTubes! Don't forget to help out (for free!) by;
- subscribing to my channel,
- liking my video and

* This is a dramatised adaptation audiobook with a full cast. It took me a solid hour to get used to it, but dang it's great to have music & background noise/chatter..!
