Hi everyone!
It’s a beautiful long weekend here in Rhode Island. I have kids laughing and running around the backyard, the birds are chirping, my cats are being lazy in their naps, and I’m having a slow-roll day after busy times yesterday at the RI Veterans Cemetery and Plant a Letterbox Day. Things are a bit late today simply because I’m moving slower than normal.
Did you participate in Stitch Maynia? I started out great, and then Mother’s Day weekend, I sprained my right shoulder and really couldn’t find a way to sit comfortably, let alone stitch. So that ended my month. The shoulder is on the mend – still achy but I’ve at least regained my freedom of movement. I’m back to stitching and hope to get into a daily practice this week again.
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.
For those of you marking Memorial Day, may your thoughts of loved ones be comforting and happy ones. For everyone else – have a lovely rest of your weekend and a great June of stitching!
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.
