Hello everyone!
Happy Sunday! I am reaching you from the past today. As I write this, it’s early on Easter morning. The sun is shining and it’s just a lovely day. But when you read this – I will be nowhere near home. In fact, I’m hoping that I’ll be sitting comfortably in a lounge chair on the beach in Florida. My son and I are heading for a much-needed trip to Grandma’s. 🙂
My stitching slump has continued through April, but I am pushing through. I’ve finally managed to finish one of my goals for WIPGO this year – the Molly Pitcher square from Little House Needleworks’ Early Americans series. I’m constantly amazed at how big the houses are for LHN projects! 🙂 I have big plans for Stitch Maynia next month, though – a very crazy rapid rotation of WIPs to get my imagination moving again. I always seem to have fun with the chaos, even if I don’t get a ton done on any particular project. Do you have any completely impractical but fun ways to get you stitching?
June/July Months
In case you’re an early planner – June and July will be our next one-month challenges. Take a WIP and do a minimum of one stitch per day, every day, for a month. These two months are back to back intentionally – get some serious work done on a WIP that needs, love, create your own month, or just work one month as it works for you! As always, it’s an optional challenge and not required to participate in the WIPocalypse.

If you celebrated any spiritual holidays recently, I hope they were fruitful ones to sooth and inspire your soul. Have a lovely May, and I’ll see you again here next month!
Happy Stitching,
Melissa

Please remember that this stitch-a-long is intended to be fun – so if you’re too busy to post, too busy/ill/etc. to stitch – no worries! Post when you can and share what you have going, even if you’ve only been able to toss a single stitch into it. If you miss a few months, not a problem – just jump back in when you’re back with us! It’s not a race or a competition – we’re all just here to cheer each other on with our progress.
