A Stitch Along

So, a thing I'd never heard of before finding a cross stitch blogging community these past few months: a stitch along. And now I've joined one. Felt a little weird about it, since I've been lurking for months and only just this week created an actual blog, and don't actually know anyone in the stitching community, but...IDK. It seemed like a good idea at the time?

At any rate, it's this:

Run by Stitching Lotus

I spent a sleepless part of last night thinking about what I will do for this thing. I have a tentative plan. Per month, I think I'll do a small project related to:

January - winter (the small pattern from By the Bay Needleart's "Chilly Winter")
February - Valentines Day (Snowflower Diaries Joyful World "February")
March - bunnies (Lizzie*Kate "Little Gray Hare")
April - birds (bird motif from 1998 Cross Stitch & Needlework "Four Seasons Sampler" design)
May - bees (Bee pincushion from What Delilah Did's "Secret Garden Embroidery")
June - flora  (top part of "Summer - Seasonal Celebrations" by Country Cottage Needleworks)
July - summer (Hardcore Stitch Corps "Flowers & Poetry")
August - fauna ("Rats!" from JCS Halloween 2016)
September - autumn (Crafty Like a Fox "Fangtastic")
October - Halloween (Crafty Like a Fox "Fran & Frankie")
November - Thanksgiving (Robin ornament from Cross Stitch Crazy)
December - Christmas (LK "Jingle")
