Two Little Kits

Wowzer; I didn't realise -until recording this episode- just how many works-in-progress I actually had touched on this past fortnight..! Which one are you most excited about seeing completed?

This past two weeks had me doing a lot of stitching (obviously!) as well as receiving some new bits and pieces for stitching and Two Little Kits as a business. The fortnight was quiet on the "IRL" front - partially because I have been fighting a head-cold for half of the time. /blows nose loudly.

✨ Don't forget to let me know your thoughts on my WIPs, the blog posts I've written lately and -most importantly- how I should celebrate my [forthcoming] 100th FlossTube episode!

I touch on the topic for a bit, but I doubt my upcoming cross-stitch pattern; "Missed Opportunities" is going to do very well.

But you know what?

That's OK with me..!

I am participating in my kids' school's upcoming silent auction this week, by donating a six-character portrait and because of that, I've already completed my *THIRD* group portrait of the year..! I wanted to make a demo piece that can be used at the auction. Let me know what you think of it!

What else did I cover in this episode?

• My works-in-progress for the fortnight,
• New blog posts on my website,
• A brief touch on life 'n stuff..!

✨ Don't forget to let me know your thoughts on my demo piece, the upcoming cross-stitch pattern, the blog posts I've written lately and how I should celebrate my [forthcoming] 100th FlossTube episode!

I've found myself focusing on certain projects this past fortnight (and even earlier, I guess..!); mainly due to the lack of sunlight lately, making some projects more difficult to work on than others. I'm looking at you, 'Night of the Frost Dragon' SAL..! 🤣

A few topics covered this fortnight are:

• The beginning of a commissioned piece,
• Lots of work on 'Pretty Little Seattle',
• Updates on Two Little Kits shenanigans,
• Both a crochet finish and a new crochet WIP,
• ...and more!

Don't forget to let me know your thoughts on my upcoming cross-stitch pattern, the blog posts I've written lately and how I should celebrate my [forthcoming] 100th FlossTube episode!

It's only the second FlossTube for 2025 and I already have my first finished piece for the year to share with you. Wowzers!

I still don't really know why I felt so inclined to only work on a couple of my works-in-progress pieces this fortnight. I do know I often found myself unwilling to work on "Night of the Frost Dragon" because of the fact it's on black fabric. So maybe I ought to keep a flag on that...

Anyway; some things I talk about:

Don't forget to let me know your thoughts on how I should celebrate my [upcoming] 100th FlossTube episode!

Happy New Year, friend! Let's hope that 2025 is a wonderful, creative year for us all 🥳

Once again, I put off recording until the last minute and therefore, felt rushed. Whoops! Hopefully I will learn one day. But I managed to squeeze a heap into this fortnight's episode regardless!

Some things I talk about:

It's almost the end of another year - can you believe it?!

I tried my best to be succinct with this FlossTube episode, but I just had so much I wanted to talk about... Wrapping up a year can do that to a gal though, yeah?

Some things I talk about:

Don't forget to leave me a comment about the things I chat about in the video, such as my future patterns, what you think about the blanket progress and how your holidays have been(/were)!

Thank you so much to each and every one of you who watch/listen, like and even subscribe to my videos and channel here on Spotify. I truly appreciate it. I don't make content on here expecting to monetise it or "make it big", but it's lovely to know that the content I do make is enjoyed even by a few.

More than just needlepoint work is going on - what is this?!

This fortnight I struggled to get started with the recording (for some reason) but we covered a lot before I had to rush off to collect my daughter:

I also have a finished cross-stitch piece that I can't wait to share with you all next episode! I wasn't thinking when I washed it so it was soggy at the time of recording. But that's OK - something to look forward to!

I hope you don't mind me stitching while I record! It certainly helped me out a heap though. And if there are no issues, it might even be something I do more often 😁

This fortnight I have SO much to share. Such as:

I also will be jumping the boat regarding closing up shop regarding physical items shipping to the EU, like many, _many_ other small businesses are having to do because of the upcoming change from the GPSR regulations. I touch on this but there's a link below with more information.

I thought this episode would be shorter than it turned out to be; mostly because of a few reasons:

So yeah..! No news is good news though, am I right? I am excited with how ornaments have been coming along though. I am definitely hitting the stage of working on ornaments that I always inevitably get to - wanting to finish them so I can return to other WIPs..!
