Description from YouTube

The amazing creator of the different cycling challenges: @istitchbirds . This time it’s the La Vuelta race taking place in Spain! 

My lovely friend and streamer here on Flosstube (she streams pretty much every day and does full coverage, non-full coverage as well as stamped kits): @spinningyarnsdesigns 

During September in honor of her birthday I will be doing a fancy September working mostly on my Mirabilia and Chatelaine.

And lastly I did a sort of unboxing of my latest Painting Fairy kit: Cosmic/Interstellar Wonders (depends on how your browser translates the title. It is amazing as always! #paintingfairycrossstitch #paintingfairy
