FLOSSTUBE 21: Cross Stitch Journal - Start Your Stitching Adventure

Summary AI

In this Flosstube video, the host of Creatively Crafting gives a detailed walkthrough of her new undated cross stitch planner/journal, which is available for pre-order and will ship in late October 2026. She explains the contents of the box, including a randomly selected sparkly pen, a six-pack of highlighters, and a paperclip pen holder, as well as the planner's coil binding and thinner design compared to last year's version. The host also mentions a potential future 'build your own' version with discbound or binder options, but confirms it won't be available for the start of 2027.

The host then goes through each section of the planner, starting with the goals and plans tab, which includes habit trackers, goal trackers for stitching and organization, a 'get crafty' tracker for learning new skills, an analog time tracker, a saving tracker, a happy mail tracker, and a gifting tracker. She explains the monthly plans section, which features blank month pages, doodle pages, and a monthly WIP report card, as well as the 'day at a time' section with condensed weekly pages. The work in progress section is new and includes trackers for giant, big, little, and tiny projects, with a full tutorial planned for a future video.

The host also covers the stash organization pages, including fabric and floss inventories, a needle and strand guide, and trackers for needle minders, grime guards, project bags, hoops, and patterns. She discusses the finished things section for tracking finishes and planning how to finish them, as well as the stitch along and challenge section for tracking SALs and challenges. Finally, she mentions the 'get crafty' section for other crafts and finishing projects, and provides details on the pre-order bonus challenge booklet, which features an Alice in Wonderland theme with a teacup set pattern and a 'You're Entirely Bonkers' stitch along. She also notes that the planner price and shipping costs have not increased, and that pre-orders before September 30th include the challenge booklet for free.
