March 2023 WIPocalypse Check-In

Hello everyone!

Apologies for being nearly a week late for this check-in. My family and I were away at a convention last weekend, and I didn’t have the expected connection on Sunday morning at the hotel – which I found odd considering it was a video gaming convention. But anyway… by time we got home Sunday evening, I was feeling pretty poorly… and then work just took over the week while I battled whatever stomach bug I was dealing with.

Still feeling a little worn down, but I’m doing better. Trying to catch up on a bit of bloggy stuff this weekend! 🙂

If you participated, how did you do on the one-month challenge? I got quite a few stitches in, but wasn’t able to stitch every single day. I got… 17 days in. I’m pleased with that. My normal spring rush at work started earlier than expected and took me by surprise this past month, so getting any stitching in was a bit of a miracle, honestly. Every stitch counts, after all!

Spring is slowly beginning to blossom here in New England. April is starting with showers and mild weather, and the daffodils and crocus flowers are opening everywhere. I’m hoping for some mild days later this month where I can enjoy stitching out on my patio outdoors. I may be a little too optimistic with that, though. We shall see!

Have a lovely April with your stitching… I’ll see you later this 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.
