FlossTube #115 – From a Viral Reel to Finished Pieces Galore

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 have a very full finishes parade to share -one of those "how did I even do all this?"" moments-alongside a peek at what I've been stitching lately and what's coming up next. There's a long-awaited update on my next DIY cross-stitch flower pattern, some progress across a few works-in-progress, and a little behind-the-scenes chat about planning ahead for a big stitch-along adventure in 2026. It's cosy, creative, and slightly chaotic... which feels on-brand, honestly.Some things I would love your feedback on:What do you think of my fun hair colour change? I wish it was a bit more noticeable... Let me know though!Would you join in making a "book top" too? Does that sound like something you'd enjoy committing to over a year?You should drop a comment to say "hi!", like the video, and subscribe 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.—— 🔗 Links ——My site: https://tlkits.coMy future WIPsNewsletter sign-up: https://tlkits.co/signupFacebook Community Group: https://tlkits.co/fbgroup—— 📎 From the video —— FOs:🎄 Holiday Ornaments👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Portraits"Twigs and Tea" - Cross-Stitch SAL"Blackwork Cat" - Cross-Stitch PatternWIPs:💐 "Flower Meadow" - DIY Cross-Stitch Pattern"Blackwork Unicorn" - Cross-Stitch Pattern"Flower Dragon Meadow" - Cross-Stitch SALInstagram Posts Mentioned:The Viral OneThe QuestionMini Talk Show:Mini Talk Show Landing PageEpisode 07Episode 08Misc: HAED 2026 SAL—— 🕑 Timestamps ——(00:00) Intro(01:03) Finished Pieces(09:57) Story Time(13:28) Upcoming Pattern(16:47) Zodiac Update(18:03) HAED Update(19:37) WIPs(25:07) Social Media(33:08) IRL(36:16) End—— 👥 Let's be social! ——📷 🇮‌🇳‌🇸‌🇹‌🇦‌🇬‌🇷‌🇦‌🇲‌: http://instagram.com/twolittlekits🧵 🇹‌🇭‌🇷‌🇪‌🇦‌🇩‌🇸‌: http://threads.net/@twolittlekits👍 🇫‌🇦‌🇨‌🇪‌🇧‌🇴‌🇴‌🇰‌: http://facebook.com/twolittlekits🦋 ​🇧​​🇱​​🇺​​🇪​ ​🇸​​🇰​​🇾‌: twolittlekits.bsky.social📰 ​🇸​​🇺​​🇧​​🇸​​🇹​​🇦​​🇨​​🇰​: tlkits.co/substackWant a sweet pair of glasses like mine?
