Flosstube #53 - It Was One of Those Weeks!

Summary AI

In this week's flosstube, Angela (Stitching Brit) shares a weekly cross-stitch update, explaining that she didn't stitch as much as hoped due to social events and extra meetings, which she is deliberately prioritising since her relationship ended earlier in the year. She explains her typewriter method of stitching full-coverage pieces and outlines her stitching goals: 5,000 stitches on a new start, 2,000 on a current WIP, and four 500-stitch pieces each week, with catch-up planned for later in the year.

• Angela shows progress on All Seasons Flower Shop by Lars Stewart, a Max Color design stitched on 22-count fabric, and explains the personal story behind it.
• She shares her July stitching totals and admits she fell short of her goals, but has annual leave planned in August to catch up.
• The wheel spins for August select Story Keep, Mini Mountain Cabin, Heart Melt, and Checking It Twice as her weekly 500-stitch projects.
• She announces her 5,000-stitch new start for August, a design inspired by childhood holidays in the South of France.
• Angela gives a shout-out to fellow Flosstuber Holly and mentions Sarah Stitching My May, who originated the typewriter method.
• She explains that she is living with her mum, who needs hip surgery, and her dad is having knee surgery, so she will be caring for him.
• She plans to restart Mini Deer Creek next week and is working on improving her planning for August.
