Heirloom Scissors & Another Upcoming DCC Pattern
Description:
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 to drop your vote in the comments.
We're also checking in on a whole stack of WIPs, from a brightly coloured picnic blanket and cat dragons to my "Flower Prairie" which I'm still slogging through. Plus, I share a quick update on recent blog posts, a small pattern haul, and a lovely weekend moment with my youngest daughter who braved the Seattle Ferris Wheel.
Some things I would love your feedback on:
- Help me decide! Do you prefer "PA Announcement" or "PA Announcer" for the upcoming Dungeon Crawler Carl pattern?
- Do you have any treasured heirloom tools or supplies in your stitching stash that hold a special memory for you?
- Are you stitching along with Life at the Cottage or Museum After Midnight too? How are you holding up with keeping on track?
- I'd love your ideas for my new miniature watercolour set — what are some sweet, simple little things you think I should try painting first?
Settle in with a snack & your current WIP — I hope you enjoy catching up!
You should drop a comment to say "hi!", like the video, and subscribe over at YouTube or Spotify if you're not already so you don't miss future FlossTubes. Doing any & all of those things helps me out immensely and it's free for you! I LOVE receiving your feedback and seeing your support 🧡

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
- dropping a comment
over there if you like what you see!
