This is my third year to work on a year-long cross stitch project, and the second year to play along with the mystery stitch-along month by month. Stitching Once Upon a Time in 2014 and Woodland Creatures in 2015 was so much fun – it’s addictive!

In 2016 I’m joining the Pumpkins on an adventure around the world. The sixth stop was Russia and I loved stitching up the colorful cathedral domes and the girl’s wintry wardrobe (especially while it was 90 degrees outside!). I actually finished up early this month since I wanted to start the new Summer Beach Day mystery SAL that just got released. Hopefully I can manage two projects at a time for the next couple months. As usual, can’t wait to find out where we’re going next…

Six months down, six to go… wow, we’re halfway through the year already!
