In this episode of Flosstube I show my recent holiday themed cross stitch finishes and a little tour of my snowman display in my home. I show how I fully finished and framed Gera's 2022 SAL Christmas Stitch Along, "Peace on Earth." I show my November 2022 needlework haul from a few thrift shops in Pennsylvania.
