FlossTube #117 - A Big Finish, New Patterns & A Slightly Naughty Idea... 🤔

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.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!
