Description from YouTube
Hello again everyone!

I am back with Flosstube number 3! I can't quite believe it! Thank you so much for being here and spending an hour with me. It means more than you'll ever know.

Grab a cuppa, or any beverage of your choice and come and join me for what has been one of the most interrupted videos I have ever recorded (my phone ran out of battery, the door went, Boo started, my medicine timer went off, my storage filled up, I forgot stuff...it was a ride!).

I have tried to edit as best as I could so I hope you still enjoy this little catch up talking about some new starts, my plans for July, and showing off some of my lovely stitchy birthday bits. 

As always, if you haven't been told today, you are worthy and you are loved.

Speak soon!
Love Holly xx
