Day 8 of my Bothy Threads 12 Days of Stitchmas Advent is one of those openings where you can feel the advent shifting gears—because it looks like we’ve got a project on our hands. In this unboxing, I open up today’s box and talk through what I’m seeing, what it might mean for the overall advent, and how it fits into the whole cozy stitch-along vibe I love during Vlogmas. If you’re here for flosstube-style advent peeks, this one is a fun checkpoint because it’s not just "another little goodie"—it’s the kind of item that makes you start planning what’s next. I also keep my usual focus for the year in mind: learning new processes. Advents like this are perfect for that because they nudge me into trying things I might not have pulled off the shelf on my own. If you’re doing the Bothy Threads advent too, or you’re just advent-curious, Day 8 is a great example of why these calendars are so satisfying—little surprises, steady momentum, and that extra push to keep stitching (even when my WIP list is already… a lot).
