FlossTube #118 - Cross-Stitch Finishes, WIP Updates & Other Stitchy Stuff with some Kitty Harassment

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 art-replication patterns to the early days of "Zodiac: Pisces" and my ambitious "HAED 2026 SAL".I also share some behind-the-scenes updates from Two Little Kits, including several new beginner-friendly blog posts, finally sorting out my ORT displays (with help from my Cricut), and a funny little font mishap. Add in a few real-life updates, a very opinionated cat making frequent appearances, and plenty of stitchy tangents - and you've got a relaxed, chatty episode made for stitching along with. Some things I would love your feedback on:Should I leave the mat board in or take it out of The Starry Night? I'm genuinely torn and would love your opinion.What do you think of my ORT display setup? [Be nice! 😂]Before I start stitching my Stitch People demo piece, is there anything you think I should add or tweak in the design?Should I unpick the tiny red dragon in "Flower Dragon Meadow" and redo it in yellow... or leave it as-is? Be honest!If you watched FlossTube #117, I'd love to know your thoughts on the merch designs I shared.I'd love to hear your thoughts on a few things I ask throughout the video, so don't be shy in the comments!👕 Like the jumper I'm wearing?
