    Oooh I loved this video! I had guessed at 15 so I way underestimated your WIPs. There are always a few forgotten ones so it's lovely to see them all for a reminder. I think my absolute favourite has to be the Winter's Gift. Absolutely beautiful. She's huge as well when you hold her up. Looking forward to seeing more progress on that one in particular. I'm not sure your heart is in those mugs though 🤣🤣 xx

      Well, I thought I had about 15 until I gathered them all up and counted them 😂 It was lovely to check in with them all...but problematic because now I want to work on them all! I am really excited to get back to the Winter's Gift as she really is stunning.

    Thank you for sharing all your WIPs, it is an impressive and varied collection, and so many stunning or cute designs. You're stitching is also so neat - I'd love to watch some stitch with me to see how you manage it, especially when there's lots of confetti/colour changes like on the Chromatic dragon.

      Aw, thank you 😊 I'm glad you enjoy the variety of WIPs...I do like a lot of styles although I don't lean towards the sampler/primitive style so much. I'm not sure if you've seen it but I've done one stitch with me ruclips.net/video/mSE_zMs_TL8/видео.html but I am hoping to do another one soon with The Sorceress and then I really do need to do one with Chromatic Dragon as quite a few people are wanting that!

    Hello Kat! I hope that you are okay. It has been so nice to see all of your cross stitch WIPs and I can understand where your love of using cute animals in your own designs comes from! The Arctic Animals SAL is super cute and I am tempted to join in the Halloween SAL from Historic Sampler Company now that I've seen how lovely it is on your channel! 🤭I keep telling myself that I am not going to buy any more kits until I've completed some of the ones I have already, but .... !! LOL! I think my cross stitch WIPs total is at 18, thought it was 17 and then remembered later a magazine kit that I had made a tiny start on, so 18 it is. Mind you, if I add all my other craft WIPs in then the total is HUGE! One day I'll have no WIPs - oh look, there's a pink flying pig coming over my house! Anyway, take care and thank you for sharing all your projects with us! Love Caron 😀

I am also stitching the Deadly Aquarium and am loving it. If I had to pick a favorite of your WIPs, I think it would be the Chromatic Dragon. I thought about purchasing that pattern a while ago but it was waaayyyy too much for me so I am totally enjoying seeing your progress on it. That’s for another great FlossTube!

You didn’t warn me that their designs are completely all totally fabulous! And now that jingle bell one…. I live across the pond, Cat! I want all the boxes and fabrics and things not just the patterns! 😭😂. And I have two more picked out where the kits aren’t too bad price wise. Sooooooo pretty. And I do love your mugs but donuts push yourself because then it won’t be fun. Why not make a bell pull or vertical panel board with four magnetic sections. Finish four mugs as flats with magnets on the back and as you finish them you can switch them out over the next few holidays!

    I'm seeing a recurring theme here. Beads seem to slow down the speed of nearly any project that includes them. Going to have to start calling them bead-humps in the road to FFOs.
