Flosstube Extra - 2025 End of Year WIP Parade

Welcome to my channel. This is a channel about cross stitching and my cross stitching journey. Occasionally I shall show my other hobbies such as crocheting and knitting, but for the main part this channel shall just be cross stitching.

Today’s video is my 2025 End of Year WIP Parade and shows my overall progress for the past twelve months, including my finishes in 2025 along with those I started over the year and my starting points on each project for the start of my 2026 stitching journey.

Thank you for your company today. If you have enjoyed the video and want to follow my progress on my WIPs, please click on the like and subscribe buttons and select all on the notification drop down menu so you are notified whenever I upload new content or go live. I try to have a weekly update on a Sunday (it was Saturday but I decided to switch to a Sunday going forward to fit in with the calendar on my planner and it would therefore be true reflection of my work for the week), at least two Stitch With Me videos of whatever I have in my frame on that day and I shall be trying going forward to have at least one livestream in the week on either Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday between 7 and 7.30 pm GMT.

Remember it’s not about the number of stitches that you do as even a single stitch is progress as it is one less you still have to do.

Please be kind and treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. A kind word, a kind gesture or even a simple smile costs you nothing but can mean the world to another. You don’t know what a person is going through at any given moment so your actions can make all the difference and remind them that they are not alone and that they matter.

Happy stitching and I’ll see you on the next video.
