Flosstube #5: Summer of Fun? A Frankenstein video, lots of progress and updates

A Frankenstein video for your viewing pleasure! Turns out, when I am close to burn out, the thought of editing a video isn't appealing. So while I filmed several weeks ago, that flosstube never aired. Please enjoy a current update of my stitching, plans, haul, and life in addition to the post vacation life update and mega haul from weeks ago :)

I hope you all enjoy this update video. Timestamps below and chapters will be included if you need/want to skip ahead. No harm, no foul.
THANK YOU!

If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment or find me on IG @stitchnbooks and DM me there.
