In Flosstube #10, Carara shares her latest cross-stitch progress, including three WIPs, a finished piece, and plans for new starts. She begins by showing her Heaven and Earth Designs 'Rainbow Cat' by Peggy Collins, which she stitches over one on 20ct Easy Grid Aida from Dying for Crossstitch, noting a page finish and a total of 1,552 stitches added. Next, she displays 'Greenhouse of Oddities' by Lola Crow, a gift for her daughter, which is nearly complete at 89.49% stitched, with less than a thousand stitches remaining. She also works on 'Ragnarok' by The Long Dog Sampler, a 32ct Lugana project in the 'Winter Wonderland' colorway, where she has added 1,337 stitches and enjoys the variegated thread from Pigeon. Carara then shows an FFO of a Dimensions kit called 'Chickies,' which she finished earlier in the year after many years, noting the framing and cleaning process. She also discusses her planned starts, including a horror-themed piece for her son and 'Everflowing Garden' by Owl Forest Embroidery, a Russian company. She explains the challenges of obtaining the hand-dyed floss due to shipping costs and US tariffs, and her decision to stitch it on 40ct fabric to use one strand and reduce floss costs. The video ends with running updates and family news.
