Flosstube 86 New WIP and Stitchy Games

Summary AI

In this episode of Flosstube, host Diane Marie shares her first full week of retirement, which she has filled with morning stitching sessions. She introduces her new project, Bedtime Stories, charted by Cross Stitch for Everyone and designed by Missy Means, and explains how she has been enjoying a regular morning stitch routine before starting her day. She also gives an update on her participation in the Big Brother Stitchey Games, a stitch-along started by Jessie from Jessie Marie Does Stuff, where she is working on a full-coverage project on 25-count Easy Grid fabric, one over one full cross. Diane mentions that she is deliberately a few weeks behind in the game to avoid spoilers and is currently stitching in orange, a colour she admits is her least favourite. Diane also shows progress on a non-full-coverage house design stitched on Bee Stitch Me fabric, and talks about her plans for a future project with Heaven and Earth Designs, possibly starting a stitch-along with Jade, the 310 Stitcher. She mentions a finish from her 'Finally Finish It Friday' segment, where viewers voted for Bella Filipina, and she discusses a potential sale at a local shop. She also highlights a recent video from Lydia's Leisurely Stitching, who has had two full-coverage finishes in quick succession, which Diane finds very exciting. The episode includes a vote for her next morning stitch project, with options including continuing with Augusta or starting a new piece like Frosty, a Tiny Town design she has wanted to stitch for a while. Throughout the video, Diane reflects on retirement life, noting that even though she has more time, she still finds it hard to stitch all day. She shares a few personal updates, including getting new brakes for her car, going boxing, and meeting her aunt for lunch. She encourages viewers to check out other Flosstubers mentioned in the video and to join her community by leaving a purple heart if they watched to the end.
