Lauren, known as Cross Stitch Bunny, presents a mid-May Flosstube episode dedicated to her 'Marine May' theme, stitching beach and ocean-themed projects. She shares a finish: the Uni Sea Stitch stingray ornament, which she fully finished (FFO). She also shows several new starts, including the crab ornament from Uni Sea Stitch, 'Lemuria' by Owl Forest, 'Beach Rules' by Primrose Cottage Stitches, 'Octopus Bubble' by Love Poppet, and the Madeline Floyd Seashore Sampler from World of Cross Stitching magazine. WIPs include Cordelia by Bella Filipina, Fantasy Axolotls by Needlelot Designs, and sea otters by Natalia Orehova, which has a counting error requiring frogging.
