Flosstube #18 - FFOs, Whale New Start, Needlework Marketplace Top 5 and lots of Haul!!!

A video all about cross stitch! I'm Ellie and I'm a UK flosstuber who loves bees and cross stitch bargains!

In this video I show you my FFOs of Rowdy Jay and Tree of Life. I also show my Love Poppet Whale new start and upcoming plans for August stitching!

I show a couple of freebies and talk about my stitchy day with Tan, as well as some lovely stitchy kindness I've received. 

There is chat about Needlework Marketplace and I share my top 5 (maybe 6!) chart pics!

To finish, there is PDF Haul and lots of other goodies, including a rare dimensions kit and limited edition bee kit from Gecko Rouge!
