Summary AI

In Flosstube 85, Marika shares her progress on several projects and unveils her Jolly July plans, a Christmas-in-July stitching event. She updates viewers on Paris Market by Dimensions, which has reached 66.74% completion, and Cauldron of Mer, now at 30% with a row finish achieved. She also shows progress on Christmas House 1 by Artecy, which she plans to continue as her main project for the month.

Marika introduces her 'Christmas Cottage Edition' of Mylestönn Manor, a four-room floor plan with a different Christmas project in each room. The rooms include Jolly Tree Farm by Fat Quarter Shop, The Nutcracker Parade by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery, Dancer by Barbara Ana Designs, and the Toyshop ornament from Dimensions' Christmas Village. She also mentions an extended goal of stitching Tinsel Town by Stitchrovia if she finishes the main rooms early.

Throughout the video, Marika discusses her fabric choices, including 32ct evenweave in Vintage Country Mocha and a hand-dyed opalescent evenweave, and her decision to avoid buying new materials due to a no-buy and European import rules. She also touches on her health struggles, including chronic migraine and recurring tummy issues, which have affected her recording schedule.

  • Paris Market by Dimensions is now 66.74% complete after a strong stitching session.
  • Cauldron of Mer reached 30% completion with a page and row finish.
  • Christmas House 1 by Artecy is the main project for Jolly July, with a goal of 30,000 stitches this year.

Description from YouTube
Decided I didn't have enough of the Mylestönn Manor game, but I wanted to make a smaller version that would fit the Jolly July theme. So I will be doing Mylestönn Manor the Christmas Cottage Edition! This video show you the plans but also the progress on the projects I stitched on since last video and before Jolly July.
