So here we are again - May, Stitchmaynia month. This is when stitchers from all around the world come together to celebrate their love for stitching by setting personal goals and then sharing on-line.
I'm going hard this year - with the goal to have 31 new starts, one for each day of the month during May. You may think this is crazy but really this just sets me up for the year (or maybe more), having everything already kitted up (threads, fabric and needle) so that I can pick up and get stitching at any time. Also, many are Christmas ornaments - so they are a quick stitch.
Most of the patterns and or linen are from my stash - and many are available in our shop, although not all. As you can probably appreciate, I have a large amount of both at home that I would love to use up but conscious that I need to promote things that we sell as well - so I try to balance this out with a pattern that we sell, then the linen may be from my stash and vice versa.
