February 2023 WIPocalypse Check-In

Hello everyone!

I’m finishing up a much needed week’s vacation from work today. The first half of the week was spent at home, split between a bit of housework, a bit of personal self-care/self-interest projects, and battling the latest in a long line of minor head colds. (whee). The latter half I spent away at a hotel with a friend. We stitched, we enjoyed some fabulous BBQ, and we watched murder mystery stuff until the late hours of the night. I definitely needed the time away!

It’s also been a nice month of stitching progress. I’ll be getting my progress post up tomorrow once I finish the last of my week blocks for the month. I’m really happy where I’m ending up. 🙂

Challenge Heads Up – March One Month Challenge

March will be our first one month challenge of the year. If you are interested in participating, choose one of your WIPs and do a minimum of one stitch per day, every day, on it for the month of March. The theory is like potato chips – you likely won’t be able to do just one! It takes just a few minutes if you are having a super busy time, and it’s at least 31 extra stitches that you didn’t have in your piece at the beginning of the month. Remember… every stitch counts. Every single one. If you fall behind? No big deal – it’s not a ton of stitches to catch up! Just jump back in. If you can’t join us for March, there will be additional months in June, July, and October. Or of course – pick your own month that works for your schedule!

Enjoy your stitching in March – and I’ll see you at the end of the month!

Best,
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.
