Hey y’all. How is your TDITM January challenge g Hey y’all. How is your TDITM January challenge going? I’m really enjoying seeing your beautiful hand embroidered mmmakes when you tag @mmmcrafts and #twelvedaysin12months 

No worries, if you are like me, you still have a few days left to make your Partridges and Pears! I got a few stitches done earlier in Jan but had to get on Cap & Gown, which consumed most of January. So, y’all, I’m pretty sure I’m going to blow my first TDITM deadline. Which is not a good look for your fearless leader. As soon as I’m back to my desk I plan to jump on it in a feverish attempt to get them done, but we all know what happens when Larissa is under a tight deadline. Cue the color freakout! LOL

Alas, Christmas is finally packed away and the res Alas, Christmas is finally packed away and the rest of January must be braved without twinkle lights. Lady Grey is brewing in my new favorite cup (thank you, Robyn!) and I’m finishing up edits on the Cap & Gown pattern. As soon as that has cleared my desk I need to jump on my #twelvedaysin12months Partridge & Pear and see how Lydia’s color palette is going to sort itself out. Fingers crossed. I’m sure enjoying your makes for the Twelve Days and #merryhumbugchallenge! Thanks for tagging me. Happy sewing!
