Did you spot my acrylic DMC bobbins? They’re from Atom Heart Cross Stitch! The stickers on them are from Pip & Chip :) 

I look forward to adding links and using the chapters feature for my videos but I must first prove to youtube that I am a human and I am intent on continuing to post here! Thanks for watching and increasing my 'hours watched' metric youtube judges my human-ness and intention with. The only alternative is by submitting my government ID and I'm fairly uninterested in doing so  ;)

Human made art. Always.
