Hello everyone!
September has flown by way too fast! How the heck is it already the last week of this month?!?
The first day of autumn came in this past week with a huge line of thunderstorms, washing away the last bits of the summer heat and humidity. We’ve moved quickly now into crisp, cold nights and cool days. The air smells like autumn. I’m finding myself in that odd seasonal transition where I’m excited for my favorite season of the year, but also sad because I didn’t get to enjoy the summer as much as I’d hoped. This past summer had just been much too hot and humid to do anything. I plan on taking full advantage of autumn as a result.
October is the WIPocalypse’s final one month challenge of this year – pick a project and commit to stitching at least one stitch on it every day. I have a few projects that I either need or want to finish by the end of October, so while I’ll be participating… I may truly be putting in only 31 stitches through October. But I will be participating somehow through the month.
I hope you’ve been reaching some of your stitching goals for the year as we move into the final quarter! Have a lovely October, and I’ll see you Halloween weekend!
Best,
Melissa
Upcoming Event – One Month Challenge
October will be our final one month challenge of the year. Take one project and commit to putting a minimum of one stitch every day into it during the month of October. It’s a simple, fast way to get a little extra work on a project – and we know that one stitch tends to lead to others! The next one month focus won’t happen until March.

Have a wonderful June, and I’ll see you here again 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.
