FlossTube #121 - A WIP Heavy Update, Flow State, and the Final Zodiac

It has been a very work-in-progress-heavy fortnight around here! Between finding a sudden flow state with a brand new design and making some serious headway on the new "Post-Apocalypse Fantasy" piece, my needle has hardly had a rest. I also share the bittersweet joy of finally releasing "Zodiac: Pisces," which marks the completion of my year-long Zodiac series. It’s a lovely feeling to see a long-term project reach the finish line.Beyond the hoops, life has been a bit of a mixed bag. I’ve been dealing with some frustrating computer issues and a rather literal "ouch" moment after trying a new skincare product. I even had my very first encounter with being pulled over by the police for something incredibly silly! Despite the IRL hiccups, the stitching has been a grounding constant, from the fiddly feathers of a peacock to the slow growth of my HAED.Some things I would love your feedback on:Now that the individual signs are finished, how would you like to see a "Zodiac Series Overall" pattern? Should it be a single large layout, and do you think it’s something I should offer as a free resource for the community?I’ve been musing about a video showing every single WIP I have—active or tucked away. Is a "WIP Parade" something you’d enjoy watching, or do you prefer sticking to the active rotations?I went from idea to full design to first stitches in a single day this week. When was the last time you felt that "flow state" where you just couldn't put the needle down?Since I had my first (and hopefully last!) silly run-in with the police, I’d love to know: what’s the most "how did this happen?" moment you’ve had lately?Grab your current work-in-progress and a cup of your preferred drink, and let’s catch up on all things stitchy.👕 Like the jumper I'm wearing?
