Piper done EARLY! Because I had to get it done in Piper done EARLY! Because I had to get it done in September before my trip, and now I can finally blog it. I went with a high contrast color scheme and I like it. Red boots are always a good decision.

We are running out of October, y’all! So I'm checking in with my fellow TDITMers. How's it going? If you haven’t started, no sweat, you still have time! You can do it! 

Check my blog posts to see specs on this one and the detailed color guide is up too!

We took a trip! Greece and Turkey to mark our 30th We took a trip! Greece and Turkey to mark our 30th anniversary. One ship, 11 cities, many buses, one cable car, zero donkeys. 68 miles walked, which will never compensate for the gelato consumed. It was amazing!

TDITM challenge for October: PIPER PIPING! That's TDITM challenge for October: PIPER PIPING! That's right, in the OG English carol, the piper is number ten, not eleven. I mean, you need percussion and music before you get dancing and leaping, yes? (Don't worry, if you prefer the modern numbering, you can easily change it! More info on the blog post.)

Throughout the month of October, tag a photo of your finishes with @mmmcrafts and #twelvedaysin12months to share your progress! I’ll post mine too! (Please, no photos/videos of my pattern pages.)
