FlossTube 23 - Nessie goes in time out while I ramble along tangents that never come full circle

Hello and welcome to my studio! You’ve landed on a Flosstube video, where I focus on cross stitch, my pattern design journey and arty opinions. I also discuss mental health and living with invisible disability and how creativity can be a tool for coping and joy.

Lots of variety today!  2 #maynia starts and 3 WIPs to round it out. Nessie was very sharp and was evicted halfway thru recording.

If you like what you see please subscribe and share. Thank you and enjoy!

Best,
Thomi and Nessie
