- Welcome to my flosstube channel - A channel where I introduce myself and talk about all my current cross stitching projects (WIPS), and show you lots of fun haul!
I am a lover of bees and enjoy stitching a wide variety of projects! I have an eye for a bargain and love visiting local craft and sewing fairs.

Great flosstube! I'm subscriber number 50 - you are well on your way to triple digits then thousands! Gotta love a WIP parage - many that I've never seen before. Thanks for sharing!
Aw thank you so much! That's so kind. You're very welcome 😊 x
Enjoyable first floss tube Ellie. Hanneke of 'A Dutch Stitcher' showed a ff 'Blooming Swan' and its lovely. I too like Caterpillar's needle minders for their strength. Years ago I stitched a Jemima Puddleduck (much reduced) kit. I recently stitched 'Hive Rules' which hangs in my Sewing Room. I too like Bee charts and stitched a 'Bee Calm' freebie one in Lockdown as a change from hand quilting a King size quilt which helped keep my spirits up but as long as I'm stitching something I'm happy.😊
Ooo lovely. I'll need to check that out. Sounds wonderful 😊
Great floss tube I also love ccs minders there amazing 🤩 hey from Alloa Scotland ❤
Thank you for watching! They are super strong, I love them!
Great video Ellie! I really loved it! A big yes from me for a Dimensions kit parade...I have a few in my stash so I feel another SAL incoming!?! I love that you got cards and stickers with your logo on then you showed your mug which reminded me I got one but I can't for the life of me remember where I've put it!!! I look forward to your next video but for now happy stitching!
Thanks so much Sarah! I'll definitely try to do that soon and a SAL sounds like a wonderful idea 😊 Ooo brilliant. I think you can tell how excited I was to get mine! X
Loved your first video and all your wips! Please, please do a kit parade!! I have also gone down the kit rabbit hole recently and love seeing stitchers' kit collections.
Thank you! Think I'll need to do it in sections as there are a lot! 😂
I enjoyed meeting you and watching your video. You have some very beautiful cross stitch wips. I can't wait to see everything that you have done. Hope to see you again soon.

Welcome to flosstube! You did an awesome job! You have shown us that thrifting is a great way to get some beautiful project bags 💜
Thank you! Yeah, is amazing what you can find thrifting! 😊
Lovely first episode, you have some lovely projects and stash/haul x
Thanks so much Lauren! I'm off to watch your most recent flosstube next! X
Congratulations on your first floss tube! I love thrifting to and will start Cottage Quilts 1989 The Creative Circle I found thrifting for $4.00 cdn. Will look for you again.
Thank you!
Fantastic first flosstube, great wips and love all your vinted stuff. Look forward to the next one x
Thank you! 😊 x
You have so beautiful projects. I could stitch almost all of them. Thank you for a great flosstube.
Thank you so much 😊
Loved the video, such beautiful pieces on the go. Be prepared to have loads more starts though 😂 this community are such enablers lol. I love the idea from vista print so I'll be taking a look at what I can get with my logo 🙂. With your first piece the squirrel, I'm happy to finish the back stitch for you, I quite enjoy back stitch, that's as long as you don't have a specific time frame in mind OR you could do a length of back stitch say every weekend until it's finished, just a thought but if you are really dreading the back stitch I'm happy to do it for you. Let me know. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing more from you. I work 10 1/2 hour shifts 4 days a week, some times 5 and by the time I get home I don't always have chance to stitch so I know how you feel. Take care and happy stitching ❤
Thank you! Haha I'm sure I will. Have already got lots of projects I want to start soon! I'll keep that in mind, thank you 😊
Fab video Ellie - you have some really lovely projects! I've never thought of Vinted before for x stitch supplies - will have to give it a look...
Thanks! Hope you find some good bargains 😊
Boo-Bees 😂😂😂 Love it!!
Anyone would think you like Bees Ellie 🤭.
Lovely first video ❤
I really don't know what gave you that impression Kim... 😂
Hello Ellie, great to meet you. You were very much at ease in front of the camera. Do you live near Amanda Alba stitcher. It's always good to find new UK flosstuber. I see you are working on a Gecko Rouge chart, there's a wonderful stitcher on flosstube called Nicola, Simply a Stitcher who is mad on Gecko Rouge, not sure how many she's working on at the moment but she's planning to make next year a Gecko Rouge year. Love Sherrie😃. Do you watch Stitch Sally, a Yorkshire lady. Looking forward to your next video. Take care🤗🇬🇧
Hello! Aw thank you so much! Yes, I believe so. Ooo I'll need to check those other flosstubes out. Thanks for the recommendations 😊
Emma x recommended you. Great variety
I saw her lovely shout out. Thanks so much for watching 😊
I just love all your bee projects and your mug and stickers! Have you heard about the Bee Farm SAL starting in a couple weeks?
Thanks so much! I haven't! Who is hosting that one? 🤔
