And so the Madness Begins!!

Hey everyone and welcome to a month of Mini's. Thanks so much to all those who have joined in. We have 22 stitchers, including myself, taking part. I only got around to adding the last stitcher today to the list, but they had told me of there desire to join before the deadline, but had problems submitting a link.

So I see some people have already made their first post which is great! I look forward to reading them. Please do remember to all those participating that only those who post once a week for the 5 weeks, including his one, will be eligible for the voucher draw.

Here is our list of people with blogs who are participating, do make sure you check out their progress.


Here is my first mini of the month:

Snowflake - Just Cross Stitch Ornament ED 2011 - SamSarah Design Studios
This is going to hopefully be an ornament gift for someone. As I didn't have any of the colours charted and I didn't want to use plain DMC, so I changed the colours to variegated DMC and will list them when this piece is finished. So excited about our month of Mini's, good luck to everyone participating :)

  10. Tyler, you are very welcome to stitch along with our Mini month. However, unfortunately I will not be able to include you in the voucher giveaway as the rules are a post a week in Oct including last week. I feel it would be unfair to the others involved if I added people after the closing date. I hope you can understand :)

  12. I hope I'm not stepping on any toes, but I was thinking it would be fun to make up a collage of everyone's progress from week 1 to make up into a banner/button for the challenge. I have a new graphic editing program I'm experimenting with and looking for projects to practice on. Would you be okay with that?

  13. Hey Alyssa, that sounds like a great idea. I keep meaning to learn to make those link buttons but never seem to get around to it. I would just like to check with the other participants as it would be made up of their work. I will be posting later so I can put it to them then. All toes present and accounted for :D
