FlossTube #119 - Stitching Through the Lows to Find the Joys

In this episode, I'm getting honest about dealing with a bit of "life apathy" lately and how I've been leaning into my stitching to find some much-needed joy and grounding. It's been a busy couple of weeks on the frames, featuring progress on everything from my "Extraordinary Birds" to the "Fairytale" HAED stitch-along. I'm also sharing a look at the second-to-last release in my Zodiac series—Aquarius is officially here!We're also chatting about some fun new arrivals, including gorgeous needleminders from GingerStitchAU and some beechwood hoops for framing. Beyond the floss, I'm catching you up on a very "hydrated" blood donation experience and a sweet movie afternoon with my girls. Grab your current project and a cup of tea, and let's spend some quiet time stitching together.Some things I would love your feedback on:Now that the series is nearly done, would you be interested in an optional 'master' border pattern to house all twelve signs together?What themes or series would you love to see me design next once the Zodiac collection is complete?Would you like a dedicated video on how I'm approaching my 'Fairytale' full-coverage piece and how I handle 'fixing' my mistakes?I'd love to hear your thoughts on a few things I ask throughout the video, so don't be shy in the comments!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.coNewsletter sign-up: https://tlkits.co/signupFacebook Community Group: https://tlkits.co/fbgroupMy future WIPs—— 📎 From the video —— New Pattern:"Zodiac: Aquarius"WIPs:🪷 "Flower Prairie" - DIY Cross-Stitch Pattern"Flower Dragon Meadow" - Cross-Stitch SAL"Extraordinary Birds" - Cross-Stitch SAL"Sunflowers" - Cross-Stitch PatternHAED 2026 Stitch-Along - "Fairytale"New Posts:"Monthly Wrap-Up: December 2025""Understanding Dye Lots in Cross‑Stitch"Mini Talk Show:Mini Talk Show Landing PageEpisode 15Episode 16—— 🕑 Timestamps ——(00:21) Finished Pieces(00:17) Before we start...(00:55) New Pattern(02:48) WIPs(16:21) Blog Posts(18:30) Haul(22:01) IRL(25:05) 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?
