This is my third year to work on a year-long cross stitch project, and the second year to play along with a 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 Frosted Pumpkins on an adventure around the world. The eighth stop was India, with the beautiful Taj Mahal front and center. This one stitched up really quickly since I was watching the Olympics most nights. I can’t believe it will be September next week already, and time for the next destination to be revealed. The new Halloween SAL is also releasing this week… so hopefully I can juggle two projects over the next couple months (all bets are off after baby arrives, of course!).

Eight months down, four to go…
