Flosstube #8 - FFO, New Starts, Halloween Top Picks & Crafty Bargains

A video all about cross stitch! I'm Ellie and I'm a UK flosstuber who loves bees and cross stitch bargains! 

I hope you enjoy this stitchy update where I show you my wedding gift FFO and new starts, as well as my top Halloween charts and past Halloween/Autumn finishes. I also show my PDF purchases from a range of Etsy designers as well as The Black Needle Society and Carolyn Manning, and share my crafty bargains from a local bootsale! There is also a book flip through of Cross Stitch in the Forest by Pigeon Coop Designs!
