Hi everyone!
Spring has definitely arrived and the annual Pollening has begun. Our maple trees started leaving out this week, leaving me in a bit of a sniffly mess. But springtime always makes me feel energized and happy as the world starts new growth everywhere.
We still haven’t had the days where I can comfortably sit outside to stitch, but I know they’re coming. I seriously can’t wait. I have one of those anti-gravity lounge chairs with my name on it for lazy afternoons and evenings with stitching or a good book.
I still haven’t been doing a ton of stitching lately, but more due to the current pressures at work than anything else. Spring is always our busy time of year, and mentally I’ve just been a bit wiped out. I’m just trying to roll with it and hope that with Stitch Maynia, I’ll get back to my normal routine! Ideally I’d like to get at least a half-hour of stitching in every day. It’s not a lot, but it’s more than what I’ve been doing recently. Which leads me into June’s stitch-a-long…
June is our next One-Month Challenge
Take one of your WIPs, and do a minimum of one stitch per day, every day for that month. This challenge is inspired by a 100 Day HAED Challenge via Facebook that I did in 2018. It worked amazingly well to make great progress. It’s simple, takes only a few minutes, and will help push along that project you keep avoiding or just need a little extra focus to move forward. No stress, no pressure… just a little each day.
Have a lovely May, and I’ll see you at the end of next month!
Happy Stitching,
Mel.

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.
