Description from YouTube
I had such a blast at Stitch-Con this year! In this video, I walk you through everything I brought to the cross stitch retreat, but also that everything that came home with me. I saw amazing friends, did too much shopping, and most importantly did lots of stitching. If you have any questions about my retreat must-haves, ask me in the comments!

I post regular monthly flosstube updates with all of my crafty updates. I usually focus on cross stitch, but I love to sprinkle in sewing, knitting, needlepoint or anything else crafty that I spend time on.
