Flosstube #17 - A finish, a start, lots of wips, and some pretty pictures!

Hi everyone!

Today I have two little finishes to show you - one cross stitch and one Zentangle artwork - and then I take you through my current WIPs, and show you one new start. Lastly I share some excellent audiobooks, shoutout some excellent flosstubers, and present some excellent photos of the Perth local environment through my husband Matt's photography.

Enjoy, and as always, thanks for watching!
