Summary AI

In Flosstube #40, Coleen Lochabay shares a packed update from her office, as the heat in her garage has become unbearable. She begins by showing a finish drawn from her 'Overdue Framing Jar': a Lizzie Kate design, 'Be Kind to Animals', which she framed in a repurposed Hobby Lobby frame, painted red and decorated with a carved mouse and rusty wire heart. She also presents a framed 'Home Sweet Home' piece by Amy Bruecken Designs, originally a prototype for a Halloween house, now featuring a tea light window and carved candy corn and bat details.

Coleen continues with several other finishes, including a Pine Mountain pillow kit stitched on 40-count fabric, a Debbie Mumm 'All Things Noah' piece framed in a clearance Hobby Lobby frame, and an August design from Snowflower Diaries, part of a year-long series she started in Hawaii. She also shows a rescued Noah's Ark cross stitch by Kappie Originals, which she plans to frame, and a patriotic 'Old Glory' piece by Fancy That, framed with rustic details and a carved wooden star.

Looking ahead, Coleen mentions plans to film a tutorial on wood carving, inspired by a commenter's request, using a Stitchy Kitty pattern as a guinea pig project. She also discusses her ongoing efforts to find a home for a kitten she is fostering, and her goals to continue framing her finishes and completing the remaining months of the Snowflower Diaries series.
